PERFECTLY Fair.

n the Inde--Appeai will examine
carefully our figures Of Wednesday it
will find them accurate. The basis OF
our Petersburg contemporaries calcu-
lstion needs only to be stated to be re-
coenized as worse than guesswork. The
Commonwealth can retain Mr.. TUCKER,
or some other able lawyer, to aid the
Attorney General in all the coupon
cases, and can secure such lswyer'sser-
vices by the year, just as the bondhold-
ers do. We are surprised, therefore, to
find our Petersburg contemporary giving
Mace TO our estimate Of the States cost
in $50 suits Is amounting to over nine
hundred thousand dollars, more than
seven hundred thousand dollars OF this
total being charged to lawyers fees
This item might be safely reduced to
less than ten thousand dollars; but we
will allow twelve thousand dollars .
year-what the bondholders are said to
pay their lawyer by the year.
The Commonwealth paid s4l2. judg-
ment and costs, in the DULANEY case, or
less than 1900 Of costs. There are
only $50 persons who pay over 5000 a
year Of taxes. Here, then, are the fig
ures, supposing that all Of the $50
bring suits;

BY standing upon her rights, the
Commonwealth would thus save not
only q million Of dollars year which
would be crowded into the Treasury in
the shape Of coupons, If she were to
agree to receive coupons for taxes, bat
she would also save the many millions
Of principal Of the debt IS ascertained
in 1877 and 1879.
Our Petersburg contemporary will
see that our calculation is as "ingen-
uous as it is " Ingenious" and that il
did embrace all "the costs Of proceed
ings and the fees Of the COUNSEL"

BOsTON, August l8.-Samuel r.
Pay son to-day made an assignment to
Samuel johnson, Of Hoyey L Co. The
announcement OF the assignment created
a great surprise, as Payson had been
considered one ofthe wealthiest men in
Boston. His financial difficulty, it is
stated, has been caused by the endorse
ment OF the paper Of the Indian Orchard
Mills, which are virtually owned by
himself and family.
William Gray, Jr., whose dead body
was found this morning, was treasurer
of these mills, and Mr.. Payson's as
signment is the natural sequel OF Grsy's
heavy defslcation. Mr.. Payson is q
man Of the highest standing, and his
situation elicits sympathy from every
quarter. 1t is thought by many that
his difficulties will prove to be only OF
a temporary nature. Mr.. Psyson is
seyenty-three years old, aud is now
proprietor Of the Derry Wooden
Mills. at Cuffs Falls, n. H.,
ard president of the City National Bank
Of Boston. lie has rendered his resig-
nation as president Of the City National
Bank, and it will be acted upon by the
directors at their meeting tomorrow.
His liabilities are estimated at about
2350,OO0. Mr.. Payson stated this
morning that he thought be had ample
funds TO pay every item of his indebt.
edness in full, but that his affairs were
in such a condition that his property
could not bo realized upon at decent
value at forced sale, so he believed it
70 be for the best interests OF every one
for him TO make the assignment.
Search for the body began at 3 o'clock
this morning by detectives accompa-
MED by Boston reporters and others,
and the woods were secured for mile
in the vicinity where the team was
found. The body was found by young
man who was alone at the time, and
who, in his excitement, picked up and
put in his pocket Gray S revolver, which
lay by bis side. The plsco where the
body was found was about mile from
the road. The body was lying on .
high, fat boulder in a cleared space,
with the sun shining full in the face, Civ
ing it CHASTITY appearance. The posi-
ton was easy aud lifelike, and but for
the pallor of the face there were
no indications Of death. A stream Of
blood flowed from wound in the heart.
His vest was unbuttonsd and blood
stain was visible on the outer shirt.
TIE tongue was clinched between the
teeth, and the mouth partly open. The
weapon is silver. seven-barrelled,
32-calibre revolver, and has only one
chamber empty. From the appearance
of the body Gray had apparently been
dead several hours. Behind the body
At the head Of the rock was . partly
smoked cigar. The revolver was put
back in the position in which it was
found, and the medical examiner sent
for.

Tragedy IN tie Cherokee Nation.

by telegraph TO the Dispaton.l
CHICAGO, August lS.-A special
from Fort Smith reports that in the
Cherokee Nation Sunday evening Lock
Langley and Thomas Monroe rene we'd
an old quarrel while Monroe was on his
way to church with his family. Lang
ley began by cursing Monroe. Monroe
told him that if he had his gun with
him he could not treat him in that
manner. Langley replied SEQ and
get your gum" Monroe then told his
oldest son, Allen, to go and get it.
The boy started, but had only got q
short distance when Langley shot him
in the back with load Of buckshot,
and then turned and shot a similar load
into the body Of old man Monroe.
Both father and son died Immediately.
The tragedy was witnessed only by the
wife and small children of the MUIR
dered man. All of them were men,
bers Of the Cherokee Nation, and this
case comes under the jurisdiction Of the
Cherokee courts hence the punishm ens
that Langley deserves may never be

HANOVER c. II. August Is, 1886.
A mass-meetiDg was held here to-
day to select delegates to the Third
District Congressional Convention.
George p. Haw, Esq, coanty chairman,
called the meeting to order and ex-
planned its object.
On motion of Mr.. Byrd, Mr.. Haw was
elected permanent chairman. W. W.
Byrd, Esq, on motion Of Hill Carter,
ESQ.,, WAS elected secretary.
On motion of L. F. billiard, Esq,
the delegates were elected in open meet
ing, with the following result:
Beaver Dam District--C. Ii. Oliver,
c. II. Phillips, and j. j. Terry.
Ashland Observation-Disclosures +. Beirne,
William p. Shelton, and John II. Din
neen.
Henry District NJ. Rulfin,
T. f. billiard, and John w. Burnett.
Each delegate, on motion, was allowed
to sppoint his own alternate.
MIR. Beirne, in few feeling remarks,
introduced the following resolutions,
which were passed unanimously. They
were elOquently endorsed by Messrs.
George A. Jones, DR.. Macon, Mr.. West,
Mr.. RufIin, and others:
Resolred, /, That we have learned
with deep regret that Hon. George d.
Wise declines to be candidate for re-
election, and that we hereby express to
him our appreciation Of his long and
valuable services in behalf OF the
people Of this congressional district;
that we commend especially his vote
for reduction in the present war taxes,
which burden the farmer, the mechanic,
the merchant, and sll other classes of
citizens save only favored few, and
that we urge such'a reform in Federal
taxation as will give no sudden and
disastrous shock to any interest, but
will ultimately make the present inter
nal-reyenue system unnecessary, and
will give the country tariff so ar
ranged as to furnish revenue sufficient
f.r the expenses OF government eco
nomically administered.
EeaoIred, 2, That while do not in
struct the delegates chosen by the Con-
yention as to the candidate for whom
they shall cast their votes in the Con-
yentiOn to be held in the city of Rich
mond on September ID, it is neverthe-
less the opinion Of this Convention that
the Hon. K. Ii. Cardwell would ably,
discreetly, and faithfully represent this
district in the Fiftieth Congress that
his selection would be most gratifying
to the Democracy Of Hanover, and
would reflect honor upon this county,
so long an important part Of the Third
congressional district and 80 long &C
quiescing cheerfully in the choice Of
candidates outside Of her borders.
Mr.. Sydnor moved that copies Of the
proceedings of this meeting be sent to
the Dispatch, State, and Wing for pub
LEGATION.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
