crime on the gallows in Alamance

credit of the good people up there that
the law was permitted to take its
course in this case for there was great
p.ovocation to lynch the brute, and
his bold and brazen talk, admitting
his guilt and saying that if he had the
opportunity he would do the same
thing again although he knew his
neck would be broken, served to
intensity public feeling and arouse
popular indignation at his terrible
crime.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Congressional.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Aiter con-
siderable Sraugling tho House went
into the COMMITTEES. OF the Whole on
the Bland Seiguorage Bill.
Bland explained in few words
that he never. agreed as. stated in
some Of the public prints to striking
out the second section Of this bill,
which provides. for the coinage Of all
the bullion in the treasury. Aside
from the question of raising the rev.
enue, heTegarded the second as more
important than the first. g.
eff we are to deal with the bullion
in the treasury" said he, "let us deal
with it as a whole. We have already
repealed the purchasing clause Of the
Sherman act. No more bullion will
come into the treasury, and why
should we not coin what is there? To
coin only the seignorage, S55,OOO,O O0'
would be tantamount to declaring
the rest should remain there as
worthless. It should be dedicated to
monetary uses" -"
LAS far rs am concerned" added
Bland, II never will consent to stop
half way" -......a. ......'
"What advantage" asked Coombs
Dom. of New York, "would accrue
from the coinage of this bullion when
no one wants it?"
"The people want every dollar they
can get" replied Bland. "The diff.
Guilty is there is not enough money
i n circulation
"Is it the intention after this bill
goes into effect" inquired Tracey
(Dem.) of New York, "Lo redeem sill
YER certificates in gold?"
"Do you understand that silver GER
tiGcates are redeemable in gold?"
asked Bland in turn.

SWELL" replied Bland, "the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has never 30

maintained that all that was neces-
sary to keep all classes OF our curren-
cy ut par was to keep greenbacks mt
pur. They ore gold obligations and
therefore interconvertable, and while
silver certificates have not been
redeemable in gold, greenbacks have
never boon refused for them. This

Bland declared that it was only
necessary TO keep enough gold in the
treasury to meet foreign exchange
Under the Sherman law he insisted
that every dollar in treasury note!
outstanding was redeemable in sill
yer.
"And il / were Secretary OF tn,
Treasury l should so hold" he addet
emphatically. II would not use IN,
discretion in the interest Of the golt
gamblers Of the country" *.
"Ihis bill, however," no continued
"docs not go as fur as the Sherman
bill in this respect. 1t only provide
that, having been redeemed in gol,
or otherwise, these notes shall not b
reissued, but be destroyed and col
shall take their place. In othe
words, the holders will no longer b
