Southern Senators express them
selves as hopeful over the prospects of
securing legislation during the pres
ent session of Congress looking to the
refunding of money paid into the
Treasury of the United States soon af-
ter the civil war as the result of the
sale of the cotton captured bv the Fed
eral forces. There was originally a.
bout $30,000,000 of this money, but a
portion OF il was paid 20 the owners OF
the cotton soon after the close OF the
war. The remainder was left in the
Treasury and has remained there ever
since. Senator Money, who is giving
especial attention looking to the re-
opening of the subject, SAWS that the
sum left amounts to about Sll, 100000.
A bill introduced by Senator Davis
gives one year additional time for
proof of snch claims before the Court
of Claims. 1t has been favorably re-
ported by the Senate Committee on
Claims, and Senator Money thinks
the outlook very good for favorable
action. Most of the claims are held
in the Southern States.
The above item has been of great
interest to our Southern people, who
lost their all during the War of the
States.

THE POWERS CASE.
Witnesses Testify That Powers Was
Not in Any Plot.

Georgetown, Aug. 3.-In the Powers
case this morning Frank G. Carpen-
ter, Louisville insurance man, was
cross-examined by the prosecution.
The examination developed nothing
very material. Sam Fl. Stone, former
state auditor, testified that he had re-
moved witness w. H. Culton, who was
a clerk in his office, because he had
stolen a thousand dollars from the
state, the day before he himself re-
tired.
James Harkleroad, proprietor of a
barber shop at Barbourville, said that
Wharton Golden told him on the day
that defendant Powers was arrested
that Powers was innocent. Later Col
den came into his shop and displayed
a roll of bills to his brother, Ike Col
den, and said: Don't you know that
100000 reward fund is being circulat-
ed. Witness Gibson was recalled and
corroborated Harkleroad's testimony.
J. L. Butler testified that he attended
a meeting in Powers Office some days
before the shooting at which raising
money to pay the expenses of witness
es was discussed. Sheriff Burton, of
Breckenridge county, displayed some
cartridges and said the gubernatorial
contest could best be settled with
them. Powers told Burton he must
not talk that way. He would rather
give up the Office than cause blood
shed.

Hon. j. A. White, tourist, capitalist,

at the Presbyterian church in this city

The church was well-filled with an
interested audience and the lecture
was one of the most mastery address
'es ever delivered in this city. The
speaker has chosen for his lecture
subject of great interest. He believes
that smiles are heavens nearest neigh
Dor, but in his lecture he transports
his hearers for beyond the realm Of
smiles and lands them somewhere in
the seventh heaven of delight by his
forceful eloquence on his travels
Last night he told some stories of the
western country, pathetic, some Of
them, others grotesque, but all filed
with the germ of human nature that
brings them home, till his characters
seem like flesh and blood before you.
During his lecture he told in an inter
esting manner of the customs, dress
and condition of the citizens of Mex
leo. He touched upon the financial con-
dition and of how $3.50 in American
currency is worth nearly Sill in cur
rency of that country. He dwelt at
some length on this important issue,
presenting facts and figures, which
brought forth applause from the aud
fence. The scenery, advantages, and
wonderful growth of the great west
were beautifully described, and the
lecture in every respect was pleas
