Cleveland's Cabinet.

There is much speculation at present
about who are to be members of the
new cabinet, Bayard is named as
Secretary of State; Garland, Manning,
Villas, and others are mentioned. AS
it is but short time we prefer to wait
until Mr.. Cleveland makes his official
announcement, then we will tell you
who they are.

EIGHT PER CENT AS A COMPRO
MISE.

THE press and the people, as well
az the Legislature, seem to be divided
in reference to the conventional rate
of interest bill now before the Legis-
lature. We can not say, with GER
tainty, what effect such law would
have upon the general prosperity of
the country. 1t is contended by the
friends of the bill that the law would
have tendency to attract capital to
the State, make money more plenti-
full and cheaper, and thereby enable
farmers and manufacturers to obtain
money more easily with which to
pay cash for supplies and carry on
their business and save much of the
large per cent paid when purchased
on a credit. 1t is also claimed by
the friends of the bill that low rate
of interest not only prevents capital
from coming from other States, but
absolutely drives capital from home
which should be kept employed
among our people. When the far
mer comes to sell his corn, he is not
expected to sell it at home at forty
cents when he can get sixty by ship
ping to Georgia, or some other State.
No more can we expect capitalist
or money lender to put his money
out at home at 6 per cent when he
can realize s or 10 by sending to Geor-
gia, or some other State.
Supply and demand regulate the
price of almost every article of COM
merce, and money is subject to the
same laws. Its value as a circulating
medium will depend upon the de
mand. Whenever the laws are 50
strictly enforced as to prevent the
taking Of no more than + per cent,
much of our needed circulation will
find its way to other States, where il
will yield a larger income. 1t may
be conceded as a fact that money will
go where it is most appreciated and
commands the highest value. But
the opponents of the conventional
rate say such law would ruin the
( cOuntry-work hardships to the Dor
rover, and especially the poorer class
This may be so, but as yet we have
seen no sufficient reason for such con
clusion. When money is freely cir
culated it can be had by prompt, sol
vent borrowers at lower rate thar
when the volume of circulation il
small. Give us more money, anC
the rate Of interest will be lower. AL
most invariably money lenders man
age to obtain a higher rate than pc
cent when money is worth more
They name the legal rate in the fac,
Of the note, but obtain from l to
per cent additional. Now, if tn,
money is worth per cent and tn,
borrower is willing to pay 8, or ever
10, we can see no legitimate reason
why the same might not be so in
serted in the note. As it is, the Dor
rover must pay or s, or even 10 pc
cent for money when it is worth ii
Why not make it legal to insert sucl
rate in the face of the note and re
move the temptation to violate tn
law? Believing that s per cent, a
the maximum, would be acceptabl
to all, or nearly all, borrowers an,
lenders, we suggest that the presen
Legislature amend the present bill :
as to read s instead of 10 per cent, an
give it a trial for two years. Itwoul
certainly work no harm or any grea
hardship to the borrower.

Who Captured the Guns at Magnolia Churchi

To THE EDITOR: ! have just read what
Comrade Ii. &. Denny, Co. II, 18th Ind, says
about the capture of the guns at Magnolia
Church. He claims the honors for the 18th
Ind, and says that Capt. Charles, Co. III, 18th
Ind, was the first one to straddle one of the
guns. Perhaps he was correct; but the 11th
Ind. Zouaves captured the two brass guns that
were planted at the end of the lane at Magnolia
Church, and also captured the 18th Mo. Con-
federate regiment that was supporting those
guns. He also says that the charge was not
ordered. Col. Geo. F. McGinnis gave the order
to charge and capture the guns. Whether the
18th got any orders or not l can't say. but
know this to be fact: The 11th Ind. charged
and captured the guns and support. Afterward
Capt Charles, Co. II. 18th Ind, might have
come up and jumped astraddle of one of them
for all l know. He also says that the 18th Ind
was mixed up with the 18th Ind. The only
one Of the boys Of the 18th that saw was the
Colonel of the 18th Ind, who came riding up
and said: Didn't we give it to em, boys?"
To which Col. McGinnis replied: "Yes; didn't
we give 'em h-?" Where the rest of the boys
of the 18th were I can't say; but one thing is
certain, they did not capture the guns. Gen.
McGinnis, come to the front and tell US what
you know about it.-R. B. FIELDING, Serg't,

Who Stole Those Pies!

To THE EDITOR: When Gen. Sheridan was
chasing Gen. Jubal Early up and down the
Shenandoah Valley the writer of this was one
of the foot-sore chaps that participated in that
go-as- you please but be quick campaign. While
returning from Harrisonburg to Bolivar Hights
and passing through Woodstock the idea that
pie would taste good captured me, and accord
ingly "fell out" to "skirmish " for pie En-
tering neat, plain residence in the town, in-
formation was obtained that pie was high, and
if 81 in greenbacks were forthcoming two pies
would be made. The pies were ordered, and
after the last of the troops were nearly passed
paid for the pies and started to catch up, all
the time thinking of the grand feast in store;
but never taste was to be INDUCED in until
camp was reached, which was accomplished
about dusk. The pie was deposited quietly
where it could be easily found after the dirt
and dust from our oyer-exertion could be
washed off. This done, we turned for our
feast Haversack was opened, and to our COM
plete astonishment the pie was gone. Twenty
years have elapsed and although the friction
is somewhat less-and under promise that no
one shall be hurt-I'd like TO know who in

train on the Southern Pacific Railroad was near
ing bridge crossing the Pecos River, in South
western Texas, a number of torpedoes exploded
On the track, causing the engineer to stop the
train. Six cowboys boarded the train, and with
drawn revolvers compelled the conductor to stop
at Langtry, the next small station. At Langtry
90 more cowboys boarded and took possession
of the train. They were all more or less under
the influence of liquor, and amused themselves
by shooting at all the windowlights and lamps
and terroriZing the passengers generally. As the
trains passed small stations cowboys would
shove their heads out of the broken windows
shoot and yell, and passing freight train was
saluted in similar manner Several hundred
shots were fired, and the roofs of the cars were
riddled. They robbed the train boy of his stock
of peanuts and caudies, but SO far as known

The First Flag at Jackson, Miss.

To THE EDITOR: have been somewhat in
terested in the account given in your valuable
paper Of the first flag planted on the State
House in jackson, Miss, and will give you
little of what know of that battle. Our bri-
gade belonged to Gen. Buckland's Brigade of
Gen. Shermans command. We were ordered
to support Warehouses; battery in the battle
that afternoon, and after they had fired some
few rounds we were ordered to the right and
front After marching some two or three hun
dred yards we were ordered to fix bayonets and
charge what we found to be some three or four
empty tents and empty rife pits, after which
we continued our march into the town until
we had reached the rear of large farm house,
on one side of which was a rebel battery firing
at our men in the woods in front of them as fast
as they could. Between them and us was
very thick hedge fence which concealed us from
them, although we were within some so yards
of the battery when we were ordered to charge
which we did, and captured two guns and some
40-odd prisoners, and, at the same time, we
planted our flag on one of the guns captured
far greater honor for the 95th Ohio than if it
had planted its flag on the State House half an
hour later, after the city had been captured
and the troops all marching in.-J. +. BOWEN,

On the night of the 22d ult four men broke
into the house of Elijah Marling, bachelor
miser, living near Wheeling, w. Va, and find
ing only $l82 on his person, tortured him to
force him to reveal the hiding place of his gold.
He was tied to bedpost, stripped, and red
hot poker applied to his back and thighs in 90
places. Hot oil was also poured down his back.
His sufferings were terrible. He evidently had
no money concealed, or this would have brought
it, In their anger at the failure, the burglars
struck their victim heavy blow on the head,
and left him hanging in his fastenings in an
insensible condition. lie was found six hours
later nearly frozen and half dead. Marling is

Senator SIiaron's Suit.

The celebrated Sharon divorce suit has at
last been decided, and decision in favor of
the plaintiff, Miss Sarah Althea Hill, has been
rendered, giving that person one-half of Mr..
Sharon's property which is estimated at about
S10000,0 900. The verdict is q surprise to every
body, as the suit on the part of the plaintiff
Was generally supposed to be merely an effort
to extort blackmail. Mr.. Sharon will appeal to
higher court. The suit in syhch the decision
making the woman the wife of Mr.. Sharon,
and as such entitled to divorce and alimony on
the ground of desertion, was begun in Septem-
ber of last year. Miss Hill brought suit for
divorce, while Sharon denied that he had ever
been married to her, but that she had lived
with him for consideration of $500 per month.
In the course OF the trial many absurd acts on
the part OF the plaintiff were brought to light,
among them the burial by her of some of the
Senator's underwear in newly-dug grave,with
the ridiculous idea of gaining his love. Some
of the testimony aGduced was also of most
disgusting character, and showed the plaintiff
to be woman entirely lacking in any thing
Ike delicacy and refinement.
