It la not to be supposed that either
of the families cared much, If any-

the contest, the Reynolds tribe seeing
In the struggle a pretext for devoting
tnemselves to tbe destruction of the
Garths, and the Garth tribe finding in
ibo war an excuse for tbo extermina
tion of the Reynolds. Thus it hap
pened that no family was regularly
unrolled in any army, but all the Rey
nolds and all the Garths preferred to
serve their personal ends by engaging
iu a style of warfare which was gen
erally regarded as illegitimate. They
called themselves guerrillas and
partisans, but other people gavAtRem
the designation of bushwhackers.
They carried on the business of
bushwhacking to their mutual exter-

there were left of that wo tribes at tbe
close of the war only Phil Reynolds on

daughter Lottie on the other.
It was then supposed that one or

tbe hands of an agent to be disposed

returned to Indiana.
It was some 6 months after the death
of John Garth that a stranger made his
appearance in tbe settlement. He
was a boy, beardless and with curling
locks, but active, intelligent! and able

He said that his name was Ren

In the war, and that the recent death
of LU mother had left him an orphan,
with his own way to make in the

would terminate the feud by
ing the extermination of one family or
tho other, but the general expectation
was disappointed,
John Garth, finding himself obnox
ious iu tbo neighborhood because of
bis alleged Union sentiments, quitted
Kentucky, and c-rosaed tbe river to
take pp his abode in Indians.
John Garth made amend of his exile
within a year. His property was
going to waste, bis old neighborhood
had settled down to a condition of
reasonable quietude aud toletation,
and he returned ter his farm, accom
panied by bla daughter Lottie, then a
tall and bsudsomc girl of eighteen.
It was then believed thal the feud
would be at last fought -out to a fata 1
termination, but no 'Tmufedtiuo conflict
iccutred between the survivors of the
b<'Stile families.
Phil Reynolds and John Garth betb
went armed, but that was the custom
cf the country, and tho care with which
they avoldi-d each other exceeded the
eagerness with which they had sought
a meet!n4 during their bushwhacking
days.
At last, as Reynolds was returning
from the mill, be met Garth in a nar
row path on the elde of jejklll, and a
glance at their faces was to show that
the fatal hour bad come.
Neither was willing to make way for
the other, and the first words th^t
-^roke from their lips were those of
abuse and recrimination. After a lit
tle of Ykls wordy warfare they drew
their plstcds and opened fire.
When alt the chambers of their re
volvers had been discharged, the re
sult of the action thus far was seen to
have been fatal to Reynolds^ mule and
Garth’s horse, while the two mes were
slightly wounded.
They renewed the fight on foot,
clinching and wrest ling for the mastery.
Then Garth slipped and fell, his
antagonist falling upon him.
With a yell of triumph Reynolds
drew his knife, and prepared to wipe
out all scores with a death stroke.
At that moment Lottie Garth came
riding up tbe hill,and with one glance
she took in the details of tbe scene,
and realized her father’s danger.
Without pausing to dismount, she
implored Reynolds to spare the life of
the prostrate man.
Her t**arful_ eyes, her outstretched
arms and her agonizing accents, might
have melted a heart of stone, but they
could not change Phil Reynold’s heart
of fire.
He only saw In her appearance
another cause for triumph, a obaoce
to Inflict another pang upon bis bated
adversary. —- —
With one sure and powerful stroke
he drove his heavy knife to the heart
of the man beneath him, and John
Garth’s fighting days were ended.
Lottie Garth shook and bent In her
saddle like a kaptlng in a strong wind,
and It seemed as If she would fall from
her horse; bat she recovered herself,
and fiercely faced tbe murderer as be
rose from his bloody work.
"Phil Reynolds,” she said, and her
voles rang out on the mountain air as
dear as a silver bell, “you have mur
dered my father, though I begged you
to spare his Hfe. A* sure as Ood lets
me live I will kill you for this deed!”
Reynolds was fairly cowed for a
moment. Perhaps be felt the enormity
of his crime; perhaps th* words and
tons of the orphan girl out him to the
quick.

specialty tojseveral farmers, but finally
accepted the offer of Phil Reynolds,
who proposed to give him a house
for tbe winter aud a small allowance
of money, in return for bis services, •
Phil Reynolds was overjoyed at the
: acquisition of his new farm baod-
The ex-bdthwhacker was a lonely
man, and he lived alone, wltn tbe ex
ception of such chance negro servants
as he could pick u*. and they had
peculiar ideas of independence since
their emancipation. Ben Hellew pro-
feesed and proved himself to be capa
ble not only of doing field work, but
of preparing the moals and keeping
tbs bouseholddn order. As be offer
ed to make himself- generally useful
for a small stipend, be was a god send
to Reynolds.
Tbe stranger from Barren County
did bis work well. He was active and
wllllug To use a word peculiar to that
region, it would be hard to find a more
"biddable” boy. Phil Reynolds had
no* been so comfortable and so well
cared for iu years, and he regarded
Ben Bellew not only as a treasure, but
as absolutely necessary to his exist
ence.
Thus affairs proceeded smoothly on
the Reynolds’ farm, until tbe owner
was taken sick, about a month after
Be a Bellew bad accepted his employ
ment. It was a strange illness, aud
the neighborhood doctor could make
nothing of It. The sick man com
plained of unaccountable pains, aud
became so weak that he was obliged
to take to hie bed. V.
The physican, unable to make a
satisfactory diagnosis of the case,
dosed hts patient with various drugs,
by tbe way of experimenting upon
their effect, and the symptoms because
aggravated, until Reynolds sank Into
an apparently hofteless decline.
. B<n Sellew attended him with the
utmost faithfulness, preparing ail his
food and giving him all his medicine,
and he showed the deepest concern
when a medical consultation had de
cided that there was no bbpe for Phlj
Reynolds. Ben was charged with tbe
duty of breaking Ithis sad news to tho
sick man, and^ie did It tenderly, ^x.
“If there is anything bn your mind,'
said the boy "perhaps you had better
dear It off.”
“I have been a hard case,’ replied
Reynolds, "but there is only one thing
that really bothers me. I killed John
Garth when his darter was hoggin’ for
his life.’
”1 have beard of that, and I think
you might have showed a little mercy
them.’
“Did be show any mercy when he
shot my brother?’ asked Reynolds.
“Did you show any mercy when you
hanged his son?’ answered Ben Sellew.
“TFell, it’s all done and gone. That
gal of Garth’s swore that she would
kill me, and I know she meant it. I’m
been lookin’for her ever since, bull
reckon she will miss her chance.’
"Don’t be too sure of that,’ said the
boy, as he left the room.
Ben Sellew went oat to find the negro
man—the only person then on tbe
place besides himself and Reynolds—
to send him to the nearest town for
some wine which the doctor had order
ed. The messenger was soon jogging
along upon his favorite mule. As the
neareet town was some ten miles away,
and the roads were bad,^ie could not
be expected to retarn under four
hours.
[For Tie FcofU]
A Itrick Thrown In Ihe H13liI
iSi'Ja * f£52
Policy.
The Legislature having adjourned
and our public servants who have
baau willing .la -sacrifice-so much of
their valuable time for the good of
the State, being again In Ihebosortas of
their families, we may, without fear of
intimidation or unwise restraint upon
them in the free and independent dis
charge of their legislative duty, ex
press our opinion of the wisdom of
certain laws they have seen fit to en
act.
First. The late act to reduce the
pay of witnesses Iu State cares evi
dently originated in the mind of some
patriotic member, who has more re.
gard for economy than a proper ad
ministration of the law. It reads as
follows : That from and after the
passage of this act no fees another
compensation shall be attended to any,
witness bound over or snmmoned to
testify In any cassia the Court of
General Sessions unless tho Circuit
Judge who tried the cause In which
the wit nci-a was summoned shall cer
tify that such witness was material,
and In that case tbe witness shall b$ f 40 c0,,rt ® r 10 justice, including
allowed 50 cents each day for his at
tendance, and five cents per mile for
necessary travel.
In the first place, Mr. Editor, fifty
cents per day U not sufficient to pay
the expenses of a witness who Is com
pelled to pay SI 50 per day for his
board, nor can he obtain coamyaoce
for flva cents per mile to the Court
House. In tbe next place It frequently
happens In cases of felony where msfry
wtsaesscs are bound over for the de
fendant that the defense finds It un*
necessary, although the witnesses
have been In attendance for the entire
week.to put such witnesses on the stand
when tbe State falls to make a case
against him. The Judge can not cer
tify to tho materiality of such wit
nesses, aud he is therefore made To
pay his own expenses and depilved of
even the pitiful fifty cents per day.
This la an extraordinary hardship, and
we are led to conclude that certain
members who belong to tbe legal pro
fession were absent on leave at the
time Cf tbe passage of tbe aot
The Trial Justice act for Baruwell
county has likewise its Imperfections.
When tbe costs for Trial Justice and
constable are paid by the defendant
Tull costs are allowed, and tbe bill of
costs is not scrutlnlxed. When the
costs are paid by the Bute, only half
are allowed to bo paid when taxes
ar* collcct'-'l and the bill for Trial
Jueticesas well as constables is subject
ed to rigid examination, and ills w. 11
known their tocounts are frequently
cut down as much a* 33 per cent by
the Commissioners. We find, then, so
far as Trial Justices be concerned its
acts offer a premium for oppression
by ihe constable who empanels a jury
and by the Trial Justice before whom
the case la tried, whose undoubted in
terest it is In all cases to convict.
So far as witnesses are concerned
the clerk Is authorized In default of
ball to discharge them on their own
recognisances. These recognizances
are generally what is known as straw
ball, and it is to be supposed reason
ably that the great majority of wit
nesses will hereafter be brought
to Court by means of bench
warrants. It Is Well that attention
should be called to the evils entailed
by these acts, to give some employ
ment to tlu next Legislature. It Is a
fact and a very unfortunate one that
every succeeding term of tbe Legisla
ture is compelled to devote a large
portion of Its valuable time, at enorm
ous expense to the tie people to undo
