FROGS AS BLOODHoUNDS

From the Washington Post.

It wasn't bit like the Washington I remembered. Yesterday evn- ing, though, I went out for car ride way out into the country A freckle-faced boy sat next me, and we struck up a con- versation. He had small rifle with him.
 "'What are you going to do with that?' I asked after we had talked awhile.
 Coin to shoot blood ouns.'
 "Blood' n ouns! My! but that one word made me feel at home. l hadn't heard it since l was a boy, and the boys I know up in Boston wouldn't know what l meant if I said it. Blood n ouns!' Why, it made me feel like a boy again. l haven't an idea how you spell the word, but that's the way We boys used to say it twenty years ago. I don't know it's derivation, nor anything about it. Washington has changed mighti- ly since my day. but if the Washington boys still call bull frogs blood n ouns, know it's really the same old town that was a boy in.

Motion urged that this bid be accepted in order that the work could be finished as soon as possible The board, however, denied that and would not do this.

VETERANS REUNION
Preparing for Big Celebration at East
 Lake Saturday

The Confederate veterans of Jefferson county are preparing to have great re- union and barbecue at East Lake next Saturday, and cordial invitations have been issued to all of the same and daughters of the veterans and all older members for the community to join the veterans in their annual reunion.
 The principal feature of the day will be the address of Major-General George P. Harrison of Opelika, the new commander of the Alabama division. He has sent the following letter of acceptance to Captain J. Lawler Darby, adjutant of Camp Hardee:
 My Dear Sir and Contradictions esteemed favor of the 18th instant in- forming me that I am on the pro- gramme for a speech August proX- imo on the occasion of the county re- union of Confederate veterans at East Lake, has just been received. Prior to its receipt I had expected to leave for the North next week, but trusting that my presence as the official head of the organization in the state may result in some good to the camps of your county, I shall postpone my trip for few days. and unless providentially hindered, will be with you at the time indicated. Sin cerely and fraternally yours,
 GEORGE P. HARRISON,
 "Major-General. After the exercises of the day are over, Camp Hardee will hold its regular monthly meeting at East Lake.

governor and placed under control of the judge. The rule that circuit court can be held in but one county in the same dis triot at the same time should be abrogated. and authority given to hold as many courts in the same district at the same time as the judges may see fit.
 Other Defects
 "There are other defects which might be remedied and in this way full power given to stamp out the evils.
 ''It may be asked why there has not been call of the legislature in special session. and the answer may be made that sucn ae- tion has never been taken heretofore put this is not urged for a failure to do right thing at one time does not excuse failure to do the right thing at another
 "In my first message to the general as- sembly attention was called to the mop spirit abroad in the state, and the legisla- ture asked for appropriate remedy, but that recommendation was unheeded. At that session a special messeage was sent to the same body on the same subject, which was ignored. At the called session the same and additional resolutions were submitted. These were ignored in part, but what was known as the Martin bill, more particularly directed against turnpike raiders was passed.
 'At the next regular session a new legis- lature came in, and again recommends tions were made on the same subject. These, however, were unnoticed and that body repealed the only effective section of the Martin bill and come within few votes of repeating it over the governors veto.
 "Under these circumstances l have not, up to this time, felt that a session of the legislature would accomplish any good re- sult but would simply entail large ex- pense on the state"
 The governor then tells of efforts he has made to secure an expression of opinion from members of the legislature as to remedy for the trouble, and defends his action in calling out troops during the leg islative session of 1S96 He says he com municated with democratic leaders during the recent Louisville convention looking to the prevention of violence in Clay county, but got no response. Nevertheless, this convention, he adds, condemned him for not being able to maintain peace in the state. He continues:
 This condemnation is only another evi- dence that the calling of a legislative ses- sion in the midst of a political campaign when the dominant party in the legislature has condemned the governor in advance, would avail nothing, for admission on their part that legislation is necessary would be a flat contradiction of their assumption that the governor is to be blamed.'

YOUNCBLOOD ACCUSED
 OATES OF TAKING PAY
1t is Said That Charges Have Been Pre- ferred in Washington Against
 the Third Auditor.

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson Mont gomery, August 2.-(Special)-The wind singing controversy as to who is respon- sible for the failure of MT. Scott of this city to get an assignment as captain in the provisional army goes merrily on. The battle is being fought through the papers and the lie has been passed so often that it seems likely that somebody must soon make show down.
 Captain Phil Stern, who Is at Fort Me- Pherson, Ga, has written letter to As sistant District Attorney Julius Sternfelt in which he denies that he has paid any one cent to secure his appoin tment to the captancy Captain Sterns letter IS quoted in full;
 Fort McPherson, Ga., July 90, 1899. My Dear Julius-Permit me to thank you for your kind letter of the 29th instant, which contained sentiments of friendship and loyalty. l heartily appreciate the kind ly spirit that moved you, and am deeply grateful.
 Tn regard to the articles concerning my appointment, I will say that whoever says or intimates that one cent was ever paid by me to anyone to help secure my commis- sion, maliciously lies. I have written the Advertiser, my father, Colonel Youngblood, and Captain Scott to the same effect. l care not who the man is or what his sta tion-he lies This is not confidential let ter, but one that may be shown anywhere and quoted on any occasion. You may quote me to this effect whenever opportun- ity presents.
 .As far as I know, Governor Oates never knew I was desirous of, would accept an appointment if rendered. I never asked Colonel Youngblood's endorsement, be- cause he was Republican and I Demo- crat. Youngblood knows this and Scott ought to.
 'It is a cowardly attack, coming as it does during my absence and without any notification to me- and at a time when my professional position prevents my saying as much as I would like to. I cannot fathom the islander. Its malicious author keeps directly in the background
 Understand me fully; whoever makes the statement in regard to my appoint ment attributed in the recent press to Colo mel Youngbood deliberately and malicious ly lies.
 "With assurance of regards to yourself and family, l am. sincerely,
 PHILIP H. STERN"
 Charles J. Scott, who went to Washing ton in the interest of his brothers appoint ment, was seen by reporter this afternoon and he stated when he arrived in Washing ton MT. Youngblood told him that General Oates had been paid fee of $500 to secure for Stern the appointment. Also that Scott would soon receive a commission.
 Scott says that he then sought out Gen. eral Oates who stated to him that he did not even know young Stern. It seems to be up to MT Youngbood to make sn explana- ton of the affair.

Charges Against Youngblood

was told by a prominent republican today that charges of very serious nature had been filed against MT. Youngblood in Washington, and that that gentleman had been telegraphed to come to Washington and show cause wAy he should not be re- moved from his official position as third auditor of the treasury. "I cannot tell you the exact nature of the charges" said the politician, ''as we do not want to lay this scandal and mud so near the presidents s door. You may safely state, however, that Mir Auditor Youngblood will be busted from office within the next two months"
 The fight against the big boss is on in earnest and it would seem from tine above that his enemies are attempting to assal his personal record in order to get him out of power MT. Youngblood's friends here are wearing an air of confidence.

The Paving Contracts

The question of the South Twentieth and the Second avenue pavement then came up. Chairman Graham, of the street committee, reported in detail on the bids received, showing that for the whole job Dunn 6 Lallande had bid $3393S, Burkhalter & Ce $34 ,250 and Leslie Bros, of Chattanooga $35, ,525.

He said that Dunn & Lalande's bid was for s1.S7ls per square yard, and Burkhalter's bid for $l.S3. He read from magazine article showing that in the northwest cities coull lay pavements for from s1 to SIPS per square yard.
 T. H. Motion said he was convinced that the bids were too high.
 pr. J. S. Gillespy also said he thought the bids entirely too high. If necessary" said the speaker, i've may get up com- pany of our own to do the bidding"
