A .ROTABLE DEBATE,

Called to Mind During a Recent Visit to Kentucky. During a recent visit to Fayette county, Ky., the writer chanced to pass what has long been known as the "old David's Fork meeting house." It stands on an unfrequented road some eight or nine miles from Lexington in the direction of Winchester, and in early times was a place of great religious meetings. Here, in the summer of 1849, in my twentieth year, I heard one of the most remarkable debates to which it has ever been my good fortune to listen. At the August election of that year the people of Kentucky were to select delegates to a constitutional convention which was to make a new fundamental law for the State. The question as to a provision for the gradual emancipation' of the slaves overshadowed most others in the canvass, and at times became almost the only topic of discussion among those who had announced themselves as candidates for seats in the convention. The discussion referred to was conducted by two men of national reputation. On the pro-slavery side was Hon. George Robertson who had been elected to Congress when only 26 years old, and who at once took high rank in that body of distinguished men. He had afterwards served for many years as Chief Justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, WBS known and honored throughout the nation as one of the purest men and ablest jurists of the country, and had twice been offered a place on the bench of the U. S. Supreme Court which he declined. The champion of gradual emancipation was Rev. Dr. Robert J. Breckinridge, father of the present Congressman from the old Ashland district, and perhaps the most noted pulpit orator of his day in the western country. He was also a keen, shrewd, and far-seeing statesman. He was fond of controversy, and never eo much in his element as when engaged in debate, either on the ros trum or through the public press. To my boyish mind the debate on this occasion was a contest between Ajax and Hector, and the impression made has never boen effaced. A sight of the old house with its dingy walls and the shady grove which surrounds it, brought back the fading recolleotion of the discussion as vivid as if it had occurred but a day ago instead of 44 years. The old house was large, but every inch of space was crowded with intensely interested listeners. Judge Robertson was not, as were many of his contemporaries of the South, a believer in the divinity of slavery. He admitted it was originally a wrong but argued that it was a wrong for which the people of that day were not responsible, as it had been fastened on them by their ancestors. He urged with much force and ability that there was no possible way by which the slaves could be emancipated without great injury to both the slaves and their masters. I should perhaps have forgotten forever much that \fras said by Dr. Breckinridge in reply had not subsequent events served to make the impression lasting. He showed how the free States had excelled the slave States in population, wealth, progress, in the arts, education, etc. But it was not till he came to Bpeak of the sin of slavery that he rose to his highest pitch of eloquence. Slavery was a great crime that God would not permit to endure he said. The people now have an opportunity to get rid of it peaceably, and if they did not avail themselves of it, they would live to see the South drenched in the blood of civil war. He quoted Mr. Jefferson's memorable saying that he trembled for his country when he remembered that God was just and that His vengeance could not sleep forever. Apppealing to the audience with uplifted arms, he thundered out the exclamation, "Slavery will not only entail upon you numberless evils in this life, but if you persist in maintaining it through

Bordid

motives, God will burn

you in hell for it when you are dead." I give but the faintest outline of his great speech. It made a profound impression on all who heard it. At the election which came off in a few days after the debate. Dr. Breckinridge was defeated by a very small majority for his opponent. Both he and his competitor lived to ripe old age, and saw the verification of the Doctor's prediction that slavery would go out with civil war and carnage if any attempt should be made to fasten the institution on the oountry forever. And, what is more remarkable, when the war came they stood shoulder to shoulder against secession. Dr. Breckinridge served as temporary chairman of the Baltimore Convention of 1864, which nominated Mr. Lincoln a second time for the presidency, on which occasion he delivered a memorable address. In the same year Judge Robertson was elected bj the Union party Judge of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky, which position he continued to fill till extreme old age, and infirmities inoident thereto, induced him to resign. The able presentation of the caube of emancipation by Dr. Breckinridge was fruitless in 1849, but it laid the foundation for that loyal sentiment in Kentucky whioh saved the State to the Union in 1861, and without whioh the government might have been overthrown.

Tax on Building Associations. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 29.—The state board of equalization resumed its sitting Monday and heard several appeals by officers of building and loan associations from the action of local boards of review. The question involved is a new one to the board and touches so many interests that it is causing no little trouble. It appears that the local boards assessed paid-up building and loan association stock, which they considered as any other stock which is drawing dividends. In order to encourage home-building through such associations the legislature passed a law exempting shares of such stock from taxation, it being assumed that the holder was or would be a borrower from the association and would be paying taxes on his home while paying for it through the association. As soon as this law was passed many bankers and other capitalists took shares in the associations, paid them cup and draw dividends of 8 per cent, regularly while they claim exemption from taxation for all money thus invested. While the law did not aim to protect such capital the board questions its power to assess it for taxation and has taken the matter under advisement. Should it decide to assess paid up stock several million dollars will be added to the tax duplicate.

Walvn Examination.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 29.—At the preliminary hearing Monday of President llaughey and his son Scuhyler and Francis and Percival Coffin, charged with wrecking the Indianapolis national bank, Mr. Haughey's attorney announced that his clients would waive the preliminary hearing and were ready to give anew bond for their future appearance. The district attorney consented and the commissioners notified each one to be in court November 6, when the federal grand jury will be called to inquire into the case. Bonds were fixed at the same amount given when the men were arrested, 810,000 each for the Ilaugheys and $5,000 each for the others.
