My rightful name was DOrcas Calcdon,
but until l had attained womanho)d was
known as Dorcas Lynn. My first name,
however, was my only rightful legacy, for
was foundling picked up on the steps of tho
b toundlmg asylum ono bitter winter
night, evidently deserted by those who
should haVo cared for me. lie matron,
Mrs Lynn, of course took me in and kindly
cared for me; perhaps the fact that she had
few days before lost her own little daugh-
ter, made her more tender to the little waif
left TO her mcrciCS. As near as she could
judge from my siZo and appearance must
have been six months old when [ was left ut
the asylum. The person or persons who had
placed me there had evidently not intended
that should perish from the cold, for was
warmly wrapped and q goodly supply Of
clothing was also in tho basket beside me-
But no Clcw was left TO tell from whence

various pieces Of linen tod that l had cvi-
IDENTITY been tho recipient of q mothers care

Accordingly ! was adopted by Mrs. Lynn,
and in absence of any other name she kind

known hcnccforth. l grew and thrivcd
under her care very we'll; but when | was

A BIG LIBEL SUIT.
An Action for Ten Thousand Dollnrt
Damages for Alleged Defamation o
Character.

An Action for Ten Thousand Dollars
Damages for Alleged Defamation of
Character.
The papers havo already stated that
Gen. Edward McCrady, Jr., of Charles
ton, has sued DIR. Il. O. Robertson, of
Columbia, for ten thousand dollars dam
ages, for libel. The document on which
the suit is founded is the following letter
written by DIR. Robertson to Gen. Nc
Grady:
81 have freely stated to parties in Co
lumbia and elsewhere that in tho conduct
OF the suit of Mary +. McCrady vs.
Allen Jones OF al. you havo been guilty
of falsehood, treachery and scoundrel-
ism, and az L desire to say nothing be-
hind your back that would not say to
your face, [ write this that you may
know exactly what have said.
"9ou have sworn falsely under oath
when, at Chester, on I'd Of August last,
you testified you had paid 5000 for GER
tain Judgments.
"Gou uttered a falsehood when, in
your argument before Judge Wallace on
Wednesday last, you said you had been
cnticcd into tho arbitration, knowing, aH
you did, that you had proposed and
named both arbitrators.
"4ou acted treacherously and in bad
faith when you prepared and signed tho
papers binding all parties to faithfully
ABIDE the award, and when it was against
you refusing to do so, and openly and
shamcfully before Judge Wallace claim
| ing that tho agreement SO prepared by
| you was illegal, that you knew it to be
such, aud would not abide the award OF
Judge Wallaco's decree if it sustained it.
"YOu acted both rascaily and lishon-
cstly whom you bought n mortgage for a
nominal sum and brought suit on it,
when rs our attorney in 1881 you had
advised us it was worthless.
''Gou acted the scoundrel when you
proposed to us to accept the award OF
tho arbitration i'll part, provided We
would consent to let this mortgage,
known to you to be worthless and fol
which you only paid $40, tako prece
dcncc Of II good one given Pelzer,
Rodgers & Go.
"You acted tho knave when, failing in
| this, you proposed to Mr.. Pelzor, who
was igUonnt Of the facts, to prorate
your worthless paper with his good
| mortgage.
"Iou acted tho scoundrcl whom you
threatened us with three years litigation
if we would not accept from you 81, 900,
for tho snmo interest we offered you
$1,000. Power and property may be
dear to you, but obtained at such sacri-
flee can benefit you little. You may
waste the estate in litigation. You may
keep us in law three years, or twenty, as
you claim to havo kept case, but in
doing SO you havo associated tho name
Edward McCrady, Jr., with all that is
dishOnOrablc.
"Yours, respectfully,
