Judge Cothbax recently decided
that Trial Justices have no jurisdiction
in case3 of petit larceny. In 1876, the
Supreme Court held that these officers
had exclusive jurisdiction in such
cases, but in 1880 the same tribunal
overruled the former decision, and
held that the Court of General Sessions
had jurisdiction. The latest viewthat
of Judge Cothran?is that the
jurisdiction of the Court of Sessions
is exclusive. The effect of this view
of the law will be to carry into the
Court of General Sessions the numerous
cases of petty theft that seem likely
to arise. This trouble may be met by
the passage of a statute giving Trial
Justices jurisdiction of cases of petit
larceny. This would exclude the
jurisdiction of the Court of Sessions.

count of a rumor in that city that a
certain official has been selling his
influence to political office-seekers. It
says:
There is a rumor in circulation that
a high official connected with one
of the departments has been selling his
influence to applicants for appointments.
It was at first charged that the
official in {question was a no less personage
than a Cabinet minister, but
this was subsequently denied. The
guiitv person, it is understood, has the
confidence of'the secretary, and, this
fact beinaf known, has traded upon his
reputation so skilfully as to put hunAnaAc

single transaction. The matter, it is
saiu, was brought to the President's
attention by a gentleman who paid
$300 for a $2,000 position which he
was to secnrc within thirty days after
the inauguration. He grew tired of
waiting at last, and demanded a return
of his money. This being refused, he
made charges against the official and
filed them with the President. The
difficulty, he says, will be to substantiate
his statements, unless others
similarly swindled are willing to come
forward and testify. The affair has
been kept very quiet, but the President
is determined it shall be fully investigated,
no matter how unsavory a
scaildal may result.
If such a report be true, no time
suould be lost in finding out the guilty
man and dispensing with his further
services to the Government.
There has been considerable doubt
as to what Henry Ward Beecher believed.
The following letter, written
bv him to a friend in Baltimore, removes
all doubt as to bis creed. He seems to
have been unsettled for some time, but
the following statement shows his
religions opinion:
Brooklyn, June 13, 1885.
Dear Sir: I thank yon for your
friendly solicitude. I am sure that in
the end you will not be disappointed,
though on some points you may not
agree with me. The foundation doctrines,
as I hold them, are a personal
God, Creator and ruler over ali things;
the human family nniversally sinful;
the need and possibility and facts of
conversion; tM divine agency of such
a work; Jesus Christ, the manifestation
of God in human conditions; His
office in redemption supreme. I do
not believe in the Caivinistic form of
stating the atonement. I do not be
neve in tne ian 01 tnc numan race in
Adam and, of course, I do not hold
that Christ's work was to satisfy the
law broken by Adam for ali his posterity.
The race was not lost, bnt'had
been ascending steadily from creation.
I am in hearty accord with revivals
and revival preaching, with the educating
forces of the church and in sympathy
with &11 ministers who in their
several ways seek to build up men into
the image of Jesus Christ?by whose
faithfulness, generosity and love I hope
to be saved and brought home to
heaven. ? * * With cordial regards,
I am truly yours,
Henry WardBeecher.
The following is the letter of Mr.
Burchard, late director of the mint, to
Secretary Manning when requested to
resign by him:
Sir: Respectfully acknowledging
your request for my resignation communicated
to me on the 15th inst., I
have the honor to state that, after careful
consideration, I am not satisfied
that duty or propriety require me at
this time to resign my office. Were
any malfeasance or misconduct alleged
or believed to exist I am sure von
would have done me the justice to have
had an impartial examination and
given full opportunity of defence before
demanding my resignation; nor
do I understand from you that the
request is made for such reason, but is
because you deem the relations of my
office to be so intimately connected
with your Administration of the treasury
department that you should have
the privilege of selecting the officer to
be in charge of this bureau. Were this
the case and the intention of the law,
it might be proper and becoming for
me to place the '?.jure of my service
at your immediate command, or per haps
to have done so when you became
head of the department. But permit
me to sav such has not been my understanding
of the purpose of the'coinage
Act in providing that the director of
the mint "shall hold his office for a
term of five yean; unless sooner removed
by the President upon reasons
to be communicated by him to the
Senate." The length of term, five
years, the conditions upon which the
removal is authorized, and the discussions
and explanations preceding the
passage of the Act indicate the intent
that the office of director of the mint
should not be changed on account of a
change of Administration, or in the
head cf the department or for personal
or political reasons. My predecessor,
appointed by President Grant, although
of opposite politics, continued in office
under five successive secretaries of the
treasury* until his death. As to myself.
having* served with acceptance for a
fall term, and upon reappointment and
confirmation part of another, I am
conscious of no reason why an exception
to the policy indicated by the law
should now be made, or why I ought
not to continue the performance of
official duty until the expiration of my
commission. Yery respectfully,
Horatio C. Bukchard.
To the Hon. Daniel Manning, secretary
of the treasury.

Appointments.
The President, on Saturday, sus
pended Horatio isnrcuard as director :
of the mint and appointed J. B. Kimball,
of Pennsylvania, to succeed him. j
The appintment, as far as weca;i learn, i
is an excellent one. Mr. Burchard |
said in conversation with a friend since |
his removal that he did not dispute |
the right of the Executive to remove
him, but was very anxious to hear the
reason for his removal. "We have no
hesitation in saying that sufficient
reasons will be given by the President j
at the proper time.
On the same day the President appointed
Edward L. Heddin collector
of customs for >iew York. Mr. [leddin
became a very prominent candidate
within the last three weeks. He
hoc Kuon o T^nmr\r?rnf- onrl lioc
UUC U lilVIVlIp L/ ? WIIV4 UUvJ
occupied mauy positions of trust, and
was at the time of his appointment,
vice-president of the North River
Bank. His appointment met with the
hearty approval of the county Democracy,
but the Tammany organization
seem disgusted, and say it is a crying
shame, and that the appointment is an
insult to all true Democrats.
Cruelty to Convicts.
Concerning the recent charges of
cruelty to couvicls working on the
Savannah Valley Railroad, the Abbeville
Messenger says:
Colonel Lipscomb, wc are informed,
expressed himself very well pleased
with the present condition and discipline
of the camp. The facts of the
former cruel treatment seem to be
about these: Captain Carroll, in charge
of the camp, was away on leave of
absence for two or three weeks. In
his absence-the cump was in charge of
one Jackson, who it is said drank
heavily during this time. The convicts
were being marched to camp in
squads of eight. Out of one of these
squads, one fellow succeeded in escaping.
The other seven were subjected
to severe punishment for not having
informed the guard that he had filed
his shackles. Two of these were
whipped very severely. One of them,
Henry Porter, was terribly punished,
the skin and flesh being whipped from
off his back for a space of several
iuches. Dr. Pope thinks he is yet in
a critical condition. As soon as Captain
Carroll returned, he discharged Jackson.
The convicts say that Carroll is
kind and just to them, and that the
inhuman treatment was due to Jackson.
We are glad that things have
turned out to be not as Daa as tney
were reported, and that work on the
road will not be suspended. Seven of
the convicts have been returned to the
penitentiary, and Dr. Ganbert, who
examined them in the absence of Dr.
Pope, says he found no evidence of
harsh treatment. There are left yi
camp one hundred and three laborers.
This is an unsatisfactory explanation.
It is admitted that Jackson maltreated
the convicts, and the excuse is that
Captain Carroll, in charge of the camp,
was absent when the outrage was committed.
Jackson, it seems, "drank
heavily" during Carroll's absence. It
is pertinent to inquire whether Jackson
had been in the habit of "drinking
heavily" before this time, and whether
Carroll knew that fact. It looks a
little strange for helpless convicts to
be left to the tender mercies of an
irresponsible underling giveu to
"drinking heavily." On this point an
early explanation is in order from
Captain Carroll himself.
If, whenever convicts are inhumanly
treated, the responsibility can be
shifted to somebody who is "drinking "
heavily", and, when the case is investigated,
that somebody sitiply runs
away, it would seem that there is no
protection against any treatment of
such prisoners, however unlawful aud
brutal it may be.
How the conduct of Captain Carroll
aud hisj man Jackson ought to be
Trf? ran not. nndertakfi to sav.
There are public officials whose business
it is to find and to apply an
adequate remedy. It remains to be
seen whether they will do anything in
the matter.
Pension for Confederates.
The following extract, taken from
the Chicago Tribune, with the comment
of the News and Courier, will
be interesting to our readers, as shown
how far some papers go in bitterness
to those who acted so nobly their part
in ln(*? fitiMicwlft Thr> will
explain itself:
"But a pension is something more
than a gratuity. In addition to this it
is a mark of honor?the recognition not,
of money service bat of patriotic devotion.
Now when the Southern States
have been forbidden to pay any 'debts'
or 'obligations' incurred in aid of the
rebellion, shall they nevertheless be
permitted to bestow the peculiar honor
and reward of a pension for services
so rendered? They may not pay a
rebel soldier for his service, but it is
claimed they can reward him for his
wounds or loss of health. It is possible
that under the peculiar wording of
the fourteenth amendment this may be
done, bntit would undoubtedly constitute
a violation of the spirit of that
rvi./NTriIf woe iiotoi* thol
> pi VT lOAVll* ?.(* ?? *iv i v* imv?ivtvv? vnv?k
the Southern States should be prohibited
from paying mere debts or
money obligations incurred during the
rebellion and yet be free to bestow the
honors and rewards of pensions for
services precisely the same in kind."
It is useless* to argue this matter.
The sentiments we have quoted are
founded in sectional hatred, and argument
cannot enter a mind that harbors
so much bitterness and spite towards
an honorable but vanquished foe.
The war ended twenty years ago.
The Confederate soldiers surrendered
their arms and returned to their homes,
to nurse their wounds and forget their
hopes as best they might.* They have
waited and sxtffered in silence, and
thousands have gone down in the
struggle, or died from the effects of
their wounds, without a murmur at the
decree of Fate that condemned them
to their hard lot?and without a single
plea that they, too, should be remembered
by it united country in the hour of
their need. A few broken and bowed
forms, with heads grown gray daring
the years of peace that have elapsed
since the strife ended, still linger among
the living, and work on without hope
of gain and almost without recompense
for their painful toil. The people
for whom they fought, for whom
they sacrificed their health and strength,
for "whom they imperilled their lives,
and among whom they dwell, are
moved to relieve their present and
pressing wants, after so many years,
and are met at the first step by a referI
ence to the "spirit" of the fourteenth

A LETTER FROM ARKANSAS.
The Condition and Prospects of that Stat*-,

Messrs. Editors: After a long
silence, I have conclnded that perhaps
a few more dots from this part of the
West might be interesting to some of'
your readers, so will proceed to chronicle
tbem.
On a recent visit to the flourishing
city of Cairo, 111., I passed thiough
some of the finest country in Northern
Arkansas and Southern Missouri, the
greater part of which still rests in its
original state, awaiting the coming of
emigration to clear away the forests
and develop its resources. We crossedthe
Arkansas River six miles below
this city, and soon after leaving the liver
valley, we came in sight of Grand
Prairie. This vast tract of undulatr
ing treeless country, covered over with
green ard waving grass, and ornamented
with an endless variety of wild

beyond my power of description.
Large herds of cattle were grazing by
the roadside, and prairie chickens,
partridges and other birds seemed to
be very plentiful. From this prairie
to where the Texas &" St. Louis Railroad
intersects the Mississippi River
(one mile above the mouth, of the
Ohio), a distance of over two hundred
miles, the country is mostly heavily
timbered and in places it is very
swampy. Deer in this section are so

the cars that they will remain close to
the track as if heedless of the passing
train. There arc little railroad towns
dotted all along this line, and some of
them present a-very attractive appearance.
Most of the farm houses I
noticed were small and rudely con-*
strncted, though occasionally we would
pass one that was larger "and hand^
some and surrounded by everything
indicative of plenty and comfort. My
attention was especially drawn to large
rail pens, filled to the top with shucked
ears of corn. Between the St. Francis
and the Mississippi Rivers we passed
through a section of country forty
miles which, in 1838, from some unknown
cause, sank down about six
feet, Some of it is now dry and under
cultivation, but the greater part is covpi-pH
in ftlear water from one to five
and six feet deep, and is said to be
alive with fish.
Now I will go back to where I started.
The seasons so far this year,
throughout this part of the country^
have been uuusually favorable to the
fanning interest, and crops are reported
as being better than they have
been in a number ot years previous.
Most of the old corn has been laid by
and early cotton is beginning to bloom.
This encouraging news from the surrounding
country affords no small degree
of consolation to our anxious and
otherwise discouraged merchants.
Trade has been" distressingly dutl
here for the past two months, and with
the exception of fruit and truck ol
different kinds that is now being
brought into market, there is but little

provemcnt in business before the fall,
trade opens up. Money is very scarce
in the country, aud the farmers seem
at last to have determined to go slow
in the matter of buying and let inde-.
pence overtake them, for there is ufiy
per cent, less credit business being
done here now than has generally been
heretofore. But the anil times do
not seeur. in the least to check the rapid
growth of or the many works of improvement
that are constantly going on
here in the City of Pines. The saui*
tary condition of tbe city has lately
been greatly improved, and judging
from the leisure some of our doctors
are having, its effect is already being
felt. Over two hundred new dwelling
houses, a large ice factory, several
stores and other buildings have been
built here since the first of January,
and still the work of improvement
goes on. The latest is that of lighting
the city by electricity, the laying ont
and ornamenting a beautiful park* and
preparations for the construction of a
street railway. More anon.

It has hod many imitators, hut none hare so

Hall's Hair Ee>tthxb h~s steadily grown

to every quarter of the globe. Itl unparalleled

The proprietors have often been surprised
at the raceipt of orders from remote countries,
where they had never nada an effort for
its introduction.
The use for a short time of HALL'S ffint

all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward a new and vigorous

The custom-like appearance and elegant

that for me to state it is far superior?
especially in quality and fit?to any offered
for sale elsewhere in the city, is quite admissable.
for it is a confirmed truth. The

being the most complete emporinm for the

there is no clothing house in the State that
is better prepared to meet the wonts of the
