A Statement From an Attorney for the
Claimants.

\ Statement From an Attorney for the
Claimants.
Treasurer Worth has been publishing
statements from time to time announc-
ing that certain of the parties to the
oyster cases in Pamlico county were
not served with summons in the cases
against them. and charging that the
sheriff had been allowed by the court to
charge fees against the State in all these
cases. H. has, we are informed, been
repeatedly told that the court had not
allowed fees to the sheriff in any case
where he had not actually served the
process of the court on the defendants.
and invited to inspect the judgment of
the Superior Court of Pamlico county
taxing the costs in these eases and af-
firmed by the Supreme Court, October
term, 1897. transcript of which judg-
ment is now on file in the office of thei
clerk of the latter county.
We have to-day caused this judgment
to be examined, and find it shows that
there were brought in Pamlico county
6!4 of these actions, and that at the
May term, 1897, they were all CONSOLE
dated i'll one case by order of Judge
Bryan, and Judgment rendered against
the State for four thousand and ninety
six dollars and sixty cents, of which
amount the Judgment declares two hun
bred and twVnty-four dollars and sixty
cents is due Thomas Camper. late
sheriff of Pamlico, and 1882 is due
Festus Miller, clerk, and Judgment is
rendered in favor of the sheriff for only
S244.G5. 1t will be seen if the sheriff
had been allowed fee of sixty cents in
each of these 694 cases, his recovery
against the State would have been
$416.45 instead of S224.65. Yet in spite
OF this record. in "A few hundred yards
Of his office, the treasurer continues to
charge that the sheriff has been aloe ed

to parade with great noise statements
from a few of these parties to the eff
feet that process had not been served
on them.
One of the attorneys for the claimant
in these cases informs us that the State-
ments of the amount of these costs given
out by Treasurer Worth is nearly a
thousand dollans in excess of the amount
adjudged against the State in the Supe-
rior Courts of Pamlico and Carteret
counties. and that the statement of the
treasurer. published in the Progressive
Farmer, that the attorneys are TO rer
ceive one-half of the sum collected froa
the State, is absolutely without any
foundation of fact.

the demands of this government and

The expedition made a formidable
showing in South American waters,
and President Lopez government was

presence. The American commits
sioners and naval officers were receiv-
ed at Asuncion with much honor, and
every PREPARATION within the power of
the republic was given. This included
ar abject apology. a sweeping disa-
vowal, and $4,000 for the sufferers
from the outrage. As the republic was
willing to grant full reparation, the
naval expedition did not exert the force
1t was prepared to use in case of a re-
fusal. When the facts of the expedi-
ton were reported TO Congress, the
President said that the dispatch of this
formidable naval fleet had had a salu-
tary influence throughout the world.

HONOR OF OUR FLAG.
1T HAS ALWAYS BEEN GUARDED
FROM INSULT.
Some War Preparations That Followed
Cases Not Wholly Unlike That OF the
Maine-John Bull Has Invariably Been
the Chief offender,

There are a large number of prece-
dents which might aid in shaping ac-
ton in the Maine case when the facts
are fully established. While none OF
the cases show the fearful loss of life
caused by the Maine explosion, yet
they include many instances in which
the United States had adopted energet-
ic measures to redress the killing OF
American citizens in foreign coun-
tries. In general way these meth
DDS OF redress have included demands
Tor indemnity, proclamations exclud-
ing war ships of the offending nation
from the United States harbors, dis
play. of force, non-intercourse with
drawal of the minister, reprisal and
blockade. Same Of these steps Dor
der closely on war, although they are
regarded as movements just prelimin-
airy to actual hostilities and as
amounting to threat that force will
follow If reparation Is not made.
The case OF the Water Witch is con-
sidered to be the most nearly analo-
gous to that of the Maine, should it be
established that the Maine disaster
was not the result OF accident. The
Water Witch was United States ship
engaged in 1855 in surveying the en-
trance to one of the rivers of Para
quay. Without warming, and by or
ders of President Lopez of Paraguay
force of troops opened fire on the
Water Witch, killing one man at the
helm and wounding others Intense
feeling was aroused in the United
States when the facts became known.
The President reported the facts to
Congress, and in his message asked
authority to make demonstration Of
force which would insure suitable re-
/ dress
In response Congress authorized him
| to ''use such force as is necessary" te
secure ample reparation. Accordingly
an armed feet was hastily assembled
! on a scale which was regarded as re
| markable for those days. The expedi
| ton included nineteen ships, twenty
| five heavy guns and two thousand five
