all sorts of medicine, which seemed to rec

three years ago had the worst spell I
ever had, aud all remedies seemed to fail.
finally had bowl Of catnip tea made,
which I knew was good to quiet the
nerves. drank the tea as hot as I could,
and before bedtime was entirely free
from pain. Invent to bed and slept we'll

The jury in the celebrated case of tho
State against Jones s. Hamilton, charged
with the murder Of r. d. Gambrell.
brought here from jackson on change of
venue, returned verdict Of not guilty.
The Gambrell- Hamilton case il one Of
the.most widely celebrated among Southern
criminal cases. Itattracted more attention
and created more excitement than any ten
killings in the State. r. d. Gambrell, the
Sacord and Shield, the State Prohibition
organ. He had been especially bitter in
his attacks on Col. Hamilton, then State
Senator. On the night of May 3. 1887,
the killing occurred. Gambrell was walk
ing up the street in jackson, and Just as he
was crossing the iron bridge spanning Cap
itol street, Col. Hamilton's carriage over
took him and shooting began. Hamilton
jumped out Of his carriage and the duel
took place on the bridge. Gambrell
was found in pool of blood, gasping,
and soon expired. He was shot through
the knee and through the body, the latter
ball entering Just below the navel and 60
ing clear through him, fracturing the back
bone, 'and lodging Just under the skin Of
his back. The third shot went in an inch
below the left ear, and ranged upward, but
did not reach the brain. His face was also
frightfully dishgured, having been beaten
end gashed by being struck by heavy
pistol. ~
Col. Hamilton was the only person found
on the bridge when the officers arrived.
He also was frightfully wounded. His left
arm was shattered at the elbow. He was
also shot in the stomach. The bail was
probed for, but was not found. After q
time he recovered.
The coroner's jury held Hamilton for
murder without bail. He twice tried to
secure q writ Of habeas corpus. and over
sixty days we're occupied in hearing evil
dence altogether. Both times he was un-
successful. The trial was long delayed
and the fight made for Hamilton's liberty
one Of the most vigorous on record. The
result is great victory to his friends andis
accepted as generally satisfactory.

hi. withdrawal from tho senate.

A personal friend and admirer of Mr..
Conk,lng, says New York telegram, gives
MI Conkling's own version of the circum-
United States Senate in 1851. This friond
was feliow-passenger with Mr.. Conkling on
the steamship Gallla, in voyage to England
in the summer of 1885.
=. Senator Conkling limited to me- said he,
Garfield for the Presidency, but as he did not
express himself in detail on this point think
IT better to pass over it. He told me that at
first he determined to take no part in the can
vass of 1880. but later, at the urgent solicit
S s0n oos of @sn Grant sn and S other Friends
party, but not for the candidate. Tiereupon
he returned to his clients retaining fees to
the amount Of about $751; chartered prl-
yate car, and took man with HIM to prepay
his bill at every hotel where he staid, in order
to be free from all obligations. He delivered
his first speech in the campaign at Warren,
Ohio, aud from there went TO Mentor to cali
upon Gen. Garfield, who expressed his graft
tude and sense of obligation to him in the
speeches at other piaces-in Indiana and else
where-lncurring total personal expense
in tho canvass Of about 800 900, including
the amount of the fee, he returned to
his clients. Soon after Garield's election
Mr.. Conkling informed his friends of his
1AApeso W ACS.6t AAVAA VIZ AOaotC. 4AA0 AZ.
tention was stated privately as early as No
vember, 1880, though it was not then publicly
announced, Us there was desire that Mr.
Conkliug should do certain things to further
the administration in the State of New YORK
He not only assented, but took immed ate
steps to carry out tho Presidents w,shs, At
this time Garfield voluntarily assured Mr..
Conkling that when he made the principal APP
pointments IN this State he should select
whatever persons were acceptable to that SEN
ator. In the same week the President, without
another word to Mr. Conkling, sent to the
Senate the nomination of persons especially
Objectionable to him.
sSoon after this y caucus Of the Republican
Senator's was called, at which committee was
appointed to wait on the President aud inform
him that in the opinion of those Senators his
course in regard to these appointments was
calculated to disturb the harmony Of the
party. When the committee informed Presi-
dent Garfield of this action Of the caucus he
expressed much indignation, saying that he
did not propose to be dictated to, and that any
Republican Senator who voted against these
nominations would thereafter receive no
favors from the Executive. Senator Conkling
then determined to carry out his original pur-
pose of resigning from the Senate. He felt
that if coordinate branch Of the Govern
ment was to be dictated to by the President in
that manner he had had enough of that ad.
ministration."
