and Renfro were not to be cheated out
of their victim in any such way.
Wear, some 10 or IL months ago, got
into drunken row with several other
young men-all alone and to them
selves-and in the row Wear shot a
| man by the name of Collins, This
happened in Poplar Bluff, in the Coun-
ty of Butler. Wear was indicted by
a grand jury of Butler County aud
gave bond for $500 for his appear
ance at court, not in New Madrid
County. Young Wear was never
charged with crime in New Madrid
County, but Judge Riley lived there.
Governor Stone says in bis letter that
his agent whom he sent to Memphis to
receive young Wear informed him that
Judge Galloway discharged Wear on
the ground that he had once been in
jeopardy for the crime for which he
was then arrested and for the further
reason that he was then out on bonds.
How funny it is that the Governor was
so easily misled. l wonder if it was
not another Misrepresentation that
caused the Governor to issue a second
requisition on the Governor of Tenues-
see within very few days for his
warrant and delivery of young Wear.
this time charging him with an as
sault with intent to kill. I wonder il
some very designing gentlemen did
not mislead the Governor and induce
him to instruct his agent to carry
young Wear to the City of St. LOUIS.
have him confined in the prison, hid
away where friends nor relatives, nor
counsel could find him, until Sheriff
Tickell could get sober enough to take
him to New Madrid Jail and there ille-
gally restrain him of his liberty.
Young Wear was not fugitive from
justice. He had never forfeited his
bond. The case had never been called,
as everybody here knows. But. Of
course, Governor Stone knew nothing
of all this. is reasonable to suppose
that some one has imposed upon him.
l have no doubt but what the Governor
thought that some pretended special
judge would discharge him if he was
brought to where his bond called him.
In the whole matter 1 have done as the
Governor says he has done-my duty
and nothing more-and have no apol-1
ogies to make to any living man. My
action. the Supreme Court has said in
many cases adjudicated by them thatl
was right, and on that l am CONTEXT,

from constituent asking him to take
up his application for a pension. The
application stated that he was a SOL
dier in the Union Army: he was on the
records as deserter, but that was in
correct. He had been surrounded and
captured by guerillas, and his right
hand shot Off. He enclosed a petition
from members of his church asking
that the pension be granted.
Judge Burton, thus armed, visited
the War Department. He found that
his constituent deserted and had been
court-martialed for stealing horse.
He had made twenty-four applications
for pension and Congressman Burton
was the twenty-fourth Congressman
who had asked to see the mans militia
ry record. He will not be pensioned.

that behalf might consistently plead
the custom of the craft. Speaking OF
the rapid growth of his town, the edi-

good deal OF Ignorance as to the time
and circumstances OF the purchase Of
the few legations and embassies owned
In Washington by foreign governments.
The general Impression Is that the
government OF Great Britain took the
initlatory step. but the fact Is that the
government OF Prussia, whose prop
eriy was subsequently transferred TO
the German empire. was the FIRST for
eign power TO own property In the city
OF Washington Tor the use OF It's repre-
sentatlves As early as 1864 Baron Ger

and II street The house was a large
double square building. built mucl
after the pattern OF the fashionable
houses OF that time. and was then
considered to be IN the heart Of the
portion OF the city most deelrable for
such a purpose. Il was at this house
that the successive representatives OF
the kingdom and the empire dispensed
the hospitality for which they have
earned so liberal a name. and. 90 time
went on and the scale Of diplomatic
entertainments became larger and
more elaborate. there was never a quef-
ton as to the success OF the dinners
and dances OF the German legation.
The policy OF the government Of
Great Britain Is never % purchl1c Land

This policy. II appears. was departed
