FAIR WHEAT DEAL
A Story of Arrant Jobbery That May Be
Hr.cI I.ad La.

Story of Arrant Jobbery That May Be
flushed Up
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-The secret
of the big Fair wheat deal. with all its
incidents of jobbery and fraud, may not
now come to light A compromise is on
toot which may hush it all up. If the diff
erences between McGlautlin and Bresee
are compromised, as it is hoped they will
be by their mutual friends, pledge of
secrecy will probably be given which will
seal the lips and shut the mouths on both
sides.
That McGlauhin has been robbed is now
evident. lie started out to bring the cul-
prits to justice or else compel restitu-
tion OF some of the money that was taken
from him. He started in also to compel
James S. Alus and Louis Bresee. his for
mer partners brother. to tell all they knew
about. the wheat deal. The testimony of
Louis Bresee was to have been taken at
the office of Franklin Ball. the attorney.
before Notary Harry Lorb, but the h ear
ing was postponed for one week by mu.
tual consent. Ihs meaning Of the delay is
that overtures were made to McGlaufin
to drop the whole matter. He says lie
wants the money that was taken fro m
him, and does not seek revenge or pun
ishment. Ii the friends OF those who took
the money see to fiji return it he will not
push the matter further.
McGlauilln's books show that he has
been plundered of nearly all the profits
of the VIII at deal. The total brok erage
of the deal brought his firm the sum OF
S1l0. 900. He made as much as S50OO in a
single day in commissions. OF this sum

knowing tho General Intimately, felt
certain that Columbia would not be-
destroyed. TWAS at her earnest solicit
tation that Mr.. Mordecai's collection
of silver, which was known to be the
finest in the State, together with price
less family relies, was placed in the
convent for safe keeping. When Gen.
Sherman entered the city he at once
called upon the mother superior, and
in the presence OF the deceased Mrs.
MOrdecais mother, assured her that
Columbia was as safe In his hands as in
those of the mayor, and further in
formed her that if she 50 desired, he
would send military guard to protect
the building. The propt sitiOn was
but the very guard that was sent broke
into the building the first night, and
after pillaging it thoroughly of all its
valuable contents, destroyed it by fire.
The valuable silver of the Mordecai
family was thrown into the street, and
piece by piece, distributed among the
soldiers. An interesting incident con-
nected with this event may here be
recorded, viz: During the first admin
istration OF President Cleveland, the
Hon. Daniel Manning, Secretary of the
Treasury, discovered among the
archives Of the Treasury department
silver pitchc: that had been there
since the close of the war, having
been deposited originally by u Federal
officer. 1t proved to be one of the
pieces Of the Mordecai family silver
carried away at the time Columbia
was burned and the convent looted,
the family inscription being plainly
engraved upon it. MIR. Manning
ordered it returned to the family.
1T is said that the oldest and finest
stock of wines to be found in the South
was in the cellars of the Mordecai
family, and it is IL wcll-known fact
that they were not less than seventy
years OF age. These fine wines were
generously distributed by Mrs. Clara
Mordecai and her husband to the sick
and wounded Confederate soldiers in
the hospitals at Columbia, graceful
and philanthropic act, truly. At the
close of the war Mrs. Mordccai. ac-
companiod by her husband and family,
succeeded in making their escape into
Canada in wagons, most Of the entire
journey being made in this manner.
There they remained until Mr.. Nor
decai was pardoncd by President An
drew Johnson. This venerable couple
celebrated the anptVersary of their
golden wedding in New York few
years since. Mr.. Benjamin Mordecai
died just two yealS ago. Mrs. Nor
dccal leaves seven children, sons and
daughters. to mourn the loss of
devoted, loving mother, besides many
grand ana great grand children. Two
OF her sons, MIR. Henry Mordccai and
l.. y. Mordecai, are residents Of this
city. Full OF years and loving
memories. mourncd by many loving
hearts thus passes to II wel-mcrited
reward u noble soul, u devoted mother
and one who went about doing good.
Surely the world is better by reason Of
her having lived, for It's records have
been enriched by her splendid example.

questions arising in this case and SO
pgofusely at the bar
I" So far as the rights of the individ-
ual complainant In the bill were con-
cerped 1t may have been competent for
| the court to grant individual relief.
The Supreme Court of the United
States the other day granted relief
from the payment OF an income tax TO
the individual complainant in his suit
before i6 but 1t went no further. On
the authority of Mississippi VS.. John
son, supra, we may assume that it
would not have entertained bill for
enjOining internal revenue officers OF
the government from collecting income
taxes generally. The judicial power
covered the right to grant individual
relief, but did not extend to the gen
eral power of repeating the law impos-
ing the tax as to the entire public.
:" repeat that in the case at bar it
may have been competent for the court
to grant individual relief, but the bill
asked more. 1t asked similar relief for
all other citizens of the county situated
like the complainant. 1t practically
asked the relief for numerous politi-
cal party, forming portion of the peO-
pie to whom the Legislature was solely
responsible for the laws and to whom
alone the genius OF our institutions
makes the Legislature responsible.
Moreover, it brought the court into i'm
mediate and active contact with party |
1t made the court con. |
trolling factor in party strife. can
imagine nothing more pernicious than
a direct participation by the judiciary
by judicial action, in the politics of the
people. The bill asked practically that
the process of registration under the
laws of the State should be suspended
in an entire county during the pleasure
Of the court and that all citizcns of
county not then registered as voters
should be denied the right of suffrage
during that pleasure. 1t seems to me
that the mere statement of this view
)f the case shows that the injunction
was improvidently granted. / think
