Wade's Big Lie Nailed. I ClinUi Democrat, j The liutler Democrat of la-t week lurnished its readers the following : 'Farmers are yroaninx under the.r heavy burdens. They wonder whv it is, while the corporations are a growing rich. Legislation has all been in tavor ot the latter. People did not watch the nominations. Jud;;e Uantt's whole record ihows that he would be on the side of the railroads, and it is a God's Messing that there is no show for his nomination." If true, the above would be quite an important disclosure, but as it is made of whole cloth, and a yard Wide, in order that those outside of Henry county may know the truth, we print a little history, which can be verified by Judge james fParks and other well kii'wn citizen-, ot high standing and character, as well as by the countv records. First, Judsre Gantt opposed, in August 1870. the issuance of 150, 000 of bonds to the Teh & Neosho railroad and dratted and spread o:: the records of the county court Tude Stephenson's protest, representing the opposition to these bonds, with out lee. August 15, 1871, he opposed an order made by Judges Munson and Hillegas, of the countv court, ap pointing an agent to vote the county's atock at an election for directors of the road. On the same day, the court, by Munson and Hillegas, ordered the bonds to the Clinton and K. C. branch to be issueu to the railroai' company. Judge Stephen son protested, and Judge Gantt repris rited t!.o-e who opposed the subscription Asjiiin, the citizens of the county i.isti'uro! proceeding by injunction, to restrain the collection t tax to pay the interest on the bonds issued to the Clinton & Khiis.is CiH and Ci.i.Son ic Memphis In. niches of tnc Tebo & Xeosho road. Judge Gantt was one of the attorneys. Again in the Celebrated N'Cholay case, he represented the citizens of the countv, who were opposing that corporation, and continued in the ta-e until ii fuiul determination. He did all this work without any fee or compensa tion for the same. In the Nicholay case, when it was appealed to the United States Su preme Court, Judge Gantt went on a note with others, 111 behalf of the county court, then composed of democrats, to get money to pay all the costs in the court below. mere lias never been a time, during all the bond troubles of the countv, (that have now become a thing of the past) when he was not in full sympathy with the people,ind had full confidence of the democratic county court, which had bequeathed to it this bonded debt by its radical predecessors. He was entrusted with the selling of the Tebo & Neosho railway stock belonging to tl e county, which for many years was worthless, realizing from it over $So,00o.oo, with which county bonds were purchased at a great discount. the highest price paid being only 40 ' cents on the dollar. Then judgments were pending against the county, and had fudge Gantt taken advan- tage of his knowledge of the situ- i ation, he could have permitted- the creditors of the county to attach the the money he got ior the stock, when it would have been applied or. the bondholders' claims, dollar for dol lar. Judge Gantt never betrayed a trust ud has always been with the people ia their contests tor the right. Brother Wade, we hope, will have the manhood to publish this, and make such retraction as is due from one who starts forth a wholesale slander, with no ground on wh'ch to base it. He just, and fear not your waster. Jeff Davis in Irons. Perhaps the most exciting scene of all thi Fortress Monroe confinement was the putting of Jeff Davis in. irons, which was done on the 23d of May, S65, says Carp in the Cleveland Leader. O.i the morning of that day Capt.Titlow entered the cell in com pany with a blacksmith and his as sistant. The latter had in his hands some heavy iron shackles, which he rattled as he came across the floor. Davis was lyin on the bed with his iood on the tin plate beside him yet UUtOUChed- As thru mr n...J t . uvtcu a raised himself and said "Well?" in terrogatively. Capt. TitlobV rep!ied: "I have an unpleasant duty to perform, sir," and at this moment the senior blacksmith took up the shackles. Davis leaped instantly to his feet and his countenance grew livid and ligid. He gasped for breath and clutched his throat with his right hand. He then drew himself up slowly, and his figure seemed to swell with indignation and then to shrink with terror as he glanced from the captain's face to the shackles and said slowly and with laboring chest: "My God! My God! You cannot have been sent to iron me!" "I have been ordered to do so," and he beckoned the blacksmith to approach. Davis looked around the room as though looking for some weapon, and demanded to see Maj Gen. Miles. Capt. Titlovv replied that the orders came from Washing ton and Maj. Gen. Miles could not revoke them. Dais then asked that a telegram be sent, but Capt. Titlow replied: "My orders are peremptory and admit no delay. For your own sake, let me advise you to submit with patience, As a soldier, I must execute my orders." "These are not the orders for a soldier," shouted Davis, losing con trol ot himself. "They are orders for a jailer or a hangman, which no soldier wearing a sword should ac cept, tvill me! kill me !" he cried, throwing his arms wide open and exposing his breast "rather than inflict on me and on my people, through me, this insult worse than deaih." Capt. Titlovv then ordered the blacksmith to do his duty and the blacksmith attempted to put the shackles on Davis. Davis hurled turn with a shove across the room, and Capt. Titlovv called in a sergeant and a file of soldiers. These at tempted to seize Davis, when he giaUbed a soldier's musket and tried to vrenc!i it from him. A moment later he vvas thrown upon the beJ and vvas held down while the shack les were riveted on his ankles, When this vvas completed he lay for a moment in a stupor. lie then raised himself and dropped his siiackleil feet to the floor. As he heard the clank of the chains he burst into a passion of tears, locking himself to and tio and muttering: ' Oh! the shame! Oh! the shame!" These shackles which were put on Jett Davis were of heavy iron, per haps five-eights of an inch in thick ness, and they were connected by a chain of like weight. They remained on him until, by the advice of his physician, they were removed. I ...:!. i .. . 1 . 1 iniuii iie wore mem less man a week. I do not know what has be come of them, but they were for a tune m the possession ot Maj.-Gen. Miles. His jailers were afraid that he would commit suicide, and they wou'1' ROt allow him the use ot a nxie or to, k 's fo vvas H cut "P Retort: lt Wi,s sent to him, and he was a!lo"'efl Iv spoons to eat with. e so'diers stole his spoons and sent them eff as mementoes to their friends, and when to prevent tins, he ! kept his spoon in a cell, thev took his napkins and sent them off. About five months after his imprisonment he was moved from his close quarters to Carroll hall, in another part ot the tort, where he had better ac commodations. From here he was baiied out on $100,000 bad, and Horace Greeley was one ot his bondsmen. Some ot the lepublican papers assert that President Cleveland is against legislation granting pensions to old soldiers and Congress is in favor ot it. This is a deliberate falsehood. The president is not against pensioning old so'diers, but he is against pensioning o'd soldiers who are not entitled to pensions. He readily signed the only general pension bili presented to him, that increasing the pensions oi soldiers widows. He has signed over 500 private bills when he was satisfied that the parties were entitled to pensions, and vetoed less than 100 where he was satisfied that the parties were not entitled to pensions. Clinton Eye. A Relic of the War Da vs. An ugly war relic unexpectedly developed in the sawmill of the Paducah lumber company, at Padu cah, Ky., on Tune 17. In cutting a huge cypress log, which was culled from a rait of timber i'ust out of the Tennessee river, the saw grated upon some substance which threatened to demolish it before the machinery could be stopped. In investigation found an iS-pound loaded bomb shell embedded in the log, in which the sharp teeth ot the saw had traced a cut a third ot an inch deep. Noth ing outside the log iadica'ed where the shell had entered, probably 2 years ago, the bark remaining smooth and undisturbed. The letter ing and figuring on the leaded plug to the shell, through which :he fuse passed, are still as plain as ever, and show that the fuse vvas clipped to burst the bomb at 1,200 yards. It is probable that the historical battlefield ot Shiloh turnislnd the proiectile, as the trees throighout the Pittsburg Landing and Shiloh fields were badly broken, large pieces ot shells and solid shot, rape and canister being to this day joint ed out to the visitor, embeddec, and in some cases hardly visible, 11 the huge old trees which dot the san guinary fields. From a Minister. Rev. T. C. Clark, a member ot the South Georgia Methodist Con ference, writes trom Tatnall cojnty, Ga: "On year ago I was hken with rheumatism, and becamt al most helpless for three months. All the remedies used seemed to fail until I commenced the use otSvvifi's Specific. I have taken five botles, and am perfectly sound and veil, I would have written sooner, bit I wanted to see if it was perniannit. And now I unhesitatingly reciui mend S. S.

I have had blood poison ev er s nee October, iSS, and obtained no re lief from any treatment (and I liied several) until I commenced t.uin Swift's Specific. In one month I felt as well as I ever had. I also had a good appetite, ana was entire ly free trom the pains in my shoulder and head, whicn had tormented me so long. Now all the sores and swellings trom my head are gone. S. W.
