In the case of State vs.. John Hamp-
ton, the 19-year-old negro boy, who at
tempted to outrage the 4-year-old
daughter Of M. L. Burch, tried at
Wilkesboro last week, the prisoner
had neither witnesses nor counsel, but
Judge Battle appointed Messrs. Finley
and Buxton to appear for him. After
the appointment was made. Marshal
L. Mott, the RepublicanPopulist can
didate for Solicitor of this district,
volunteered his services for the brute.
In this instance, as usual, Mr.. Mott

partial judge had assigned for the de-
Tense OF the boy two Of the ablest
lawyers at the bar, Messrs. Finley and

his services till counsel had been as

Mr., Reed listened to Mr.. Bryan
attentively When he had finished

of little consequence, he said. Its
only significance was that Mr..

ANOTHER sEIGNIORAGE BILL.

The coinage and bond bill recent
ly introduced, in the lower House of
Congress, by Representative Meyer,
Dem of Louisiana, in having the
effect of forcing a rather warm dis
cussion, just now between the silver
and anti-silvered elements Of the
House. Mr., Meyer opposed Mr..
Bland throughout the seigniorage
bill struggle and voted against it.
For this reason the proposition to
coin the seigniorage under certain
conditions, is regarded as an over
ture from the anti-silver men to Mr.,
BANDS followers.
Mr.. Meyer says the bill was sug-
gested by that clause of the Presi-
dents veto message reading as fol-
lows:
81 am not insensible to the argu-
ments in favor of coming the bull
lion seigniorage now in the treasury
and I believe it could be done safely
and with advantage if the secretary
of the treasury had the power to
issue bonds at very low rate of in
terest under authority, in substitu'
ton Of that now existing, and bet
ter suited to the protection of the
government.
Mr., Meyers bill follows closely the
Presidents suggestion in the fore
going clause, 1t provides for the
coinage of the seigniorage in
the bill and gives the secretary
of the treasury power to issue ;
per cent bonds in small denomi
nations, in substitution for the ole
bonds.
