The house, signs of which still re

creek. It was a common log house,
with no lloor in it, except the ground,
which was kept clean, hard, and
smooth. This was by no means a
sign of poverty, but a matter of
choice, as the idea was prevalent at
that time that Mich a plan was con
ducive to health. The date of his
death is not known. lie is buried
in a family graveyard, on his plan
tation, in accordance with a common
custom of that age, and, sad to re
late, there is no stone to mark bis
grave. With his name perpetuated,
as it is, by the pledge of 'his life,
fortune and sacred honor" in the

Bepresentative McCiainmy, of the
Third North Carolina district, has a
bill prepared providing for the issue
of eighteen hundred million of legal
tender scrip, to be loaned to the
several States for the people. These
notes are to be a legal tender for all
dues except interest on the pubiio
debt; all loaius are to bear one per
cent interest, and not more than
s'',500 will be loaned to one person.
Preference is to be given to the
borrower, whose binds are already
mortgaged, so that they may escape
from burdensome interest charges.
Ihe interest collected is to go into a
school fund, which, in turn, will be
distributed among the several Staks
according to their school population.
The measure, in brief, embodies
some of the features of the sub-trens-urv
scheme, and some of the features
of the Blair bill.
Mr. McClammy is a farmer and
is very much in earnest about the
passage of some relief measure by
this Congress. Helms no Hope' for
the Pickler bill and does not think
that altogether practicable.
"We must have something,'' he
remarked this morning. "We are

Senator Wad. '-Hampton said, that
while the statue did injustice to
General Lee as a rider, he thought
ir. a line thing.
Gov. Gordon, of Georgia, thought
the horse and rider .an exact copy
from life. "I think," said be, -that
the horse is an almost perfect re
presentation of General Lee's old
gray as he moved across the lield on
one occasion."
The members of Gen. Lee's staff

Emj. J. F. Wiileford was aroused
from his sweet Sunday morning
slumbers by what, at lirst, he
thought a "burglar. Pat it was
nothing contrary to law. Mr. Go.
C. Mi l.s and Miss ipd :ceca Trouttnan,
both of No. 12 township, appeared
before the 'sipiire to be in irrie-d.
Ksij Wiileford is onite popular in
this busines.-.; possibly the only ob
jection the con'iacting parlies have
to him, is thaf the squire can't pray
very Well. D. C. Maxwell has
forniidiible rival in Mr. ilk-ford in
in the number of parties tied for
