AN UNKNOWN FRIEND.

Governor Foraker read from witness speech
an extract, wherein he speaks of Telegram re-
ceived from Morton Hawkins. reporter of the
Cincinnati Post, calling for public refutation
Of the ballotbox trust charge, and speaking of
a warm personal friend who had said he could
vindicate him with document that had been
sent for. Witness said that he had read that
telegram. Mr.. Hawkins was now Adjutant-
General of Ohio, He had no idea who the
personal friend" was.
Witness confessed he was at sea at first to
know what the document Exhibit AZ or
signature. or whatever it was, was. If he had
seen the paper he could have said at once it
was a forgery. He had seen the published fac
simile In the newspaper, but there were various
reasons why he did not make a specific denial
that he had signed the paper, one of which was
that he did not want to scare off Wood, for
whom he was having search made.
Governor Foraker remarked that the testi-
mOny showed that Wood did not leave Cincin-
natl until October s. Witness replied that he
could not find him. Mercer had told him that
Wood had been hiding in Covington. Witness
knew Of no document that he had been wait
ing for which would vindicate him.

priation bill. Witness read from the patent
specifications to show that his gun would not
answer the requirements. Mr.. Halstead had
all OF these facts before him, and yet he IN
sisted on the insiuuations. The Chief OF Ed
gineers also pronounced his gun to be worth
less, in which sentiment he (witness) hearty
concurred.
The Chairman here exhibited the forged pa
per, and asked il witness knew anything of it
that would aid the committee in its inquiry as
to its authorship. He replied that it was eVl-
dent from inspection that the paper was LOT
gerry; but he knew nothing direct about It's
origin.
Mr.. Cogswen said he was under the impress
sion that witness had discovered that WOOD
lieved him to be the forger. The witness re-
Piled that many facts came to his knoWleoge
that Wood was low fellow; the Committee OF
One Hundred had protested to Mayor Mospy
against his appointment
COST OF THE BOXES.
In answer to Chairman Mason, witness said
the ballOt-box bill closely described the Wood
box. The bill authorized the Attorney General
to purchase the boxes at SIS or less, but not
more. He had never heard that any of the
other persons whose names appeared on the
forged paper were interested in the ballot box
bill until he saw the Commercial Gazette publi-
cation. He referred to a publication in that
family paper that he had called upon the Presl-
dent and urged him to get the Mills bill out OF
the way in order that he might get his ballot
box bill through Congress- 1t was needless for
him to comment upon that to a Congressional
committee. He had never heard that Mr..
GrOsvenor was interested in the ballot-box bill.
To Governor Foraker, witness said that
Campbell had talked about his BILL and he
either had. or witness procured for him, copy
of Senate bill. Witness told him he must re-
strict the price of the box, as he could not in
troduce a bill without the maximum price be-
ing fixed. or course, he understood that the
bill commanded positively the Attorney Gen.
eral to buy but one box for each district, and
that box was described patent box. He did
understand, however, that the Attorney Gen.
eral could pay the SIS but not more, for the
box He did not understand that the Attorney
General must pay SIS if the company refused
to sell for less.
Governor Foraker wished to know If witness
believed that the Attorney General was COM
PEELED to pay S25if the patentees refused to sell
at lower figure. He replied that he did not
so believe; the Attorney General had an op-
ton.
Governor Foraker replied that some people |
were slmple-mmded enough to believe that the
bill permitted the company to fix the price Of
the box within SIS.
Mr.. Cogswen remarked that the bill would |
speak for itself.

PREVENTED A MISTAKE.

Witness read the letter from Allen Thurman,
saying that he had telegraphed as he did be-
cause he heard they would arrest Halstead,
which would be a mistake, after he had
published the retraction, as that complicated
the case badly That was all there was in the
story Of his attempt to shield Wood
Referring to the story that the committee
had suddenly adjourned for two weeks because
II had discovered something very unpleasant,
and the Ind was closed on the boiling pot, and
further, that Mr.. GrosvenOr, his counsel, had
hastily gone to Ohio to consult him, the witness
said that he challenged inquiry, and denied
that Or. GrOsvenor was his counsel, that he
had seen him since last summer. until he got
mere. de served notice now that he was going
TO nave little fairer treatment from Halstead
and his paper than he had had before. There
was limit TO human endurance.

Important Decision.

c
For some time past it has been a
disputed question among the mem
bers of the bar as to whether iudg-
ment rendered by a justice is barred
by the statute of limitations, after
three years from the date of the last
execution issued on such judgment.
Several of the Circuit Judges have
held that such a Judgment was barred
after three years from the date of the
last execution, and the bar was quiet
ly acquiescing in such opinion.
In the case of Livesay VS.. Dunn,
that recently went to the Supreme
Court of Appeals from Greenbrier
county, that Court, Judge Lucas rem
dering the opinion, decided that. such
judgments were not barred till after ten
years from the date of the last execu-
ton, the same as judgments rendered
by the Circuit Court that they can
he revived by suit within ten years
next after the date of the judgment.
This case was decided on the 2Oth
day of last January, and will appear
in the next volume of West Virginia
Reports.

The; following speech was made by
j. F. Harris, colored Republican
member of the Mississippi Legisla-
ture, in reply to a speech opposing
the erection of a monument to Jeffer-
son Davis:
'Mr. Speaker-I have risen here

speech of the young gentleman from

any son of a soldier should go on re-
cord as opposed to the erection of a

And, sir, am convinced that had he
seen what saw at Seven Pines and
in the seven days fighting around
Richmond, the battle-fields covered
with the mangIed forms of those who
fought for their country and their
country's honor, he would not have
made that speech. When the news
came that the South was to be invad-

no request for monuments to com
memorate their brave deeds and holy
sacrifices. But they died, and their
virtues should be remembered. Sir,

Facts OF Unwritten History.

Gen. George Crook. whose death
is so widely .deplored ny people aud
press throughout the country, was ta-
ken prisoner during the late war at
New Creek Station by Col. John T..
Pearce, of Mineral county, w. Va.
and from there was taken to Rich
mond. When it came to the knowl-
edge of the Confederate authorities
about that time that Col. Angus w.
Mcdonald, who had been captured
by General Hunter at Lexington.
while in command of the military post
at that place, had been iuoarcerated
in cell eight feet by ten with mana
cles, General Crook was ordered by
Jefferson Davis to be similarly treated
and held as hostage until the ex-
change of these officers could be ef-
fected. Gen. Ethan Allen Hitchcock
was commissioner for the exchange
of prisinors at that time in Washing
ton.
General Hitchcock was written to
by daughter of Colonel Mcdonald,
Mrs. James w. Green, of Culpeper,
informing him of the facts of her
fathers cruel treatment. Colonel
Mcdonald was an old West Point
graduate, friend and room. mate of
General Hitchcock, who, learning
these facts Immediately ordered the
exchange of these two officers. Cen

and Colonel Mcdonald to Richmond,

Hon. William l. Wilson.

One of the most thoughtful and ac-
complished men in public life at the
present time is the Hon. William L.
Wilson, of West Virginia. He is dis
tinguished for number of intellect
ual gifts rarely found in combination.
His mind, stimulated and broadened
by the most liberal culture, is not
only philosophical in its cast, but
also. extremely ready in the command
of its many resources. The lecture
room and stndy seem to have increased
rather than diminished his ability to
cope with the most practical issues
in political affairs. The most exact
learning, the most comprehensive
views the most uldiscrimination
the most logical thought mark all his
public utterances and there is at
times, too, q biting sarcasm and keen
irony in his words which are irresist-
ible in their effect.
No speaker has thrown more light
upon the intricate questions involved
in the tariff than he. None have
treated that dry and abstract subject
in more interesting and attractive
manner. Probably the greatest adj
dress that was delivered in the mem
orable discussion Of the tariff laws in
the last Congress proceeded from him
and all his subsequent addresses in
the line of the same topic, have been
remarkable for similar excellence.
One of the most notable of these
addresses was delivered recently at
Trenton, N. j., under the auspices of
the Democratic Society of that State,
the special subject selected for this
occasion being the" Great Political Is
sues of the Day. - Richmond Times.

After the storm.

Thewildest storm must spend its force.
The badied winds pause with moan,
For sunshine struggling through the mist
Clasps the tired earth in shining zone.
So stormy grief will rob of light
The soul that prays for mornings dawn.
Through black despair in deepest night.
Till hope, and love. and life seem gone.
'Tis then the mornings golden splendor
Dispels the gloom, illumes the way,
Whilst dreamy voices, low and tender,
Whisper, sad heart, behold perfect day!
