a B,oody scene I'm Court.

Nearly foar weeSs ago James NJ.
Liddle, prominent citizen of Carols
ton, Mo-, interfered in quarrel be-
tween two negroes working for him,
and thus reused the ire of some other
negroes near by. They fired shots and
inflicted severe wounds upon him.
Those who participated in this attack on
Mr.. Liddle belong to Il gang which for
long time have terrOrized the white
cirizens IN and about Carrollton. Since
the attempt Oh Mr.. Liddle's life they
have been more openly defiant and law
Tess than ever before. A few days ago
three murderOns negroes caused the
arrest of MIR. Liddle. He was placed on
trial Thursday morning before Mayor
Elain.
One Of the gang, Edward Brown,
when he went to the court house To At
tend the trial, boosted that he had his
bodyguard and would shoot the first
man who made a motion at him. The
case was called at noon, and ut once the
court house filled with negroes, who
ranged themselves about Edward Brown
and his brother. Suddenly about 100
white men, armed with rifles, appeared.
Ed Brown at once drew his pistol and
fired ut Liddell, who was between his
attorneys. Then volley was fired by
the white men, and shots were generally
exchanged.
When the noise ceased it was found
that ten negroes had been instantly
killed, and three were so badly wound.
ed that they died soon after. Five 9th
ers are reported to have died. Those
who escaped by jumping through the
windows, a distance of at least twenty
feet, were severely hurt by the fall.
On most of the dead bodies arms were
found. The room was completely filled
with smoke. Blood ran in streams on
the floor in the court room. The mob
left as quietly and quickly az they
came. No white man is known to have
been hurt. Two of the negroes who
jumped through the window carried
the sash along. One was shot slightly
in the hand, but otherwise was unharm-
ed. Another WAS shot dead while try
ing the same mode of escape. The lead
ers of the negroes, Charles and Edward
Brown were killed. No arrests have
been made, and no one seems to know
any of the mob

Shot the Good Samaritan.

At Piedmont, W. Va, last Friday
night about II o'clock. as a party OF
young men were passing Richie and
Arnold's butcher shop, near the Town
Hall, they saw tue form of a man lying
in the street. Walking over to the re-
cnmbent figure, they found it was Jos.
Henderson, who for the past month
has been on a protracted spree. Think
ing he wps utterly helpless they pro-
ceeded to assist him to his feet for the
purpose of accompanying him to his
home, when he drew pistol and fired
one shot, which flew over the heads OF
the gentlemen second shot graZed
the cheek of Mr.. Ellsworth Powell, a
son Of the late Robert Powell.
The drunken man not satisfied with
the injury he already had inflicted fired
still third shot, which struck Mr..
Powell in the breast, the bullet passing
through the lung and lodging in the
muscles of the back. This shot brought
the young man to the ground, serious
ly. if not fatally wounded.
Hendrickson was Immediately arrest
ed and now lies in Jail, where he main
tains morose silence, refusing to answer
questions or make any statements.

1t has been repeatedly and continually
asserted since the coinage OF the legal
tender dollar that silver is driving gold
out of the country. How far this delu-
sion is consistent with truth may be AS
certained by reference to the foregoing
tabulated statements contained in these
articles. If gold is leaving the country
i'm consequence of the circulation of sill
yer, why is il that we have in the United
States to-day 1886 III. 1877 when in 1883
We had only 1878, s2s.374 Here is Il
gain i'm three years of 81. 599. 453 In spite
of the con slant drain of the gold coin
from the U. 5. Treasury for the purpose
of paying the interest annually In gold
upon the United States bonds in the
hands Of the bankers in this, as well as
in foreign countries. All of the entire
interest of the bonded Indebtedness OF
the United States govern ment is paid
semi-annually in gold, and allowing
that indebtedness to be not less (includ-
ing that held by the 2.727 National
banks in this country, and by individu-
ais in this country and in EurOpe) than
81. SOC. 0OO, 900 ut 81 per cent. makes a
grand total of interest to be paid in gold
of not less than sS7 500, 900. And yet,
i'm the face of all this enormous annual
drain upon the gold product Of the
United States, we still have greater
amount of gold in the treasury on the
3Oth of November, 1885, than we had
oil the 3Oth of June, 1883, by 81, 1893. Alb.
Take the entire gold product of the
United States since the discovery of the
mines in California, in lS4S, up to 1888,
and the average annual product of those
thirty. five years will not pay the annual
accruing interest on our debt by about
$37 ,S55 1853, ard this amount, over and
above the annual product Of the mines,
must be met by gold paid as duties upon
imports and gold received in exchange
for silver certificates, which fact is sed-
ulously kept from the knowledge of the
general public. ''Of the gold owned
by the treasury Am. R., Sept. l. 1888,
page 42e) on the lst Of July, 1881. "
(about two years after the commence
ment Of the coinage of the legal silver
dollar) 'about $40, OOO, 900 of the gold
In the treasury had accrued directly
from the sale of silver certificates by
the treasury" These are facts that
ought to be known and studied by every
industrious laborer and producer anG
manufacturer in the United States, and
by his vote in the next elections of rep
resentatives to Congress see that such
men will be returned to the next House
Of Representatives as will defend his
constituents from farther drainage of
gold in the way OF interest upon bonds
that should long sinee have been paid,
and from q tax upon every thing used
