misrepiesents its population. A yeaa
ig)o the city marshal was killed by ono
Brown, who was thereupon arre!'t-ed
for trial. A year woro away and
Brown still reveled inl the riotous liv
ing afforded by sheriff Powell. 110
cently the sherifflhimself, in i fit of
abseit-mindledine's, We prestile, pep
poredl a newspaper man with buck
shot, and created a vavaner in tle
editorial department of the county pa
per. Such is thle powver of the press
thiat thle offlending sher-ifYwas speedily
broughit to trial. During his absence
the friends of the dead city marshal
fired of witing" onl Pro videnlce, Which,
as Judge Mackey says, like all large
bodies moves slowly, clected thei
selves judge, juiry, sheriff and consta
ble, aid providing a plow-linie, at 110
expenlse to the county, swung Mr.
Jlames Brown to the nearest lim.ib. All
this caie of illing an editor. Iid
Sheriff Powell repressed his angry
passions lhe might. have entertained
Mr. tJames Browii indefinitely and en
joyed the luxury of running up huge
bills for dieting against the counity
authorities. Whereas. as matters now
stand, lie may himself adorn the limb
that swunlg Brown oil'. Providence is
a good place to emigrate froin.

[ Tu'E iLINE ACCIDEUNT.-A Char
lotte dispatch to the New York 1er
aid, dated January 10, says: "The.
coroner's investigation of the recent
Air-Line Railroad disaster near this
city, re 'ted in the Ilerad of the
28th of mber, which resulted in
the death and cremation of t wo white
and one colored man, culninated In
the arrest of Engineer Wisenbery, of
the secoxlK sectionl. on the charge of:
murder. , The investigation has been
conductel with the utmost secrecy,
but it is ieported to-night that the ar
rest of other trali men of both sections
is to follcw. A procedure of this sort
is so unutinal that it has caused a pro
found sensation in the community.
The intimation is that WisQnberv had
beeti drinking, though it is alleged
that he Is I perfectly sober and relia
ble man. Bail having been refused
him, his Counsel are contepllating a
movement to have him released on a
writ othabeas corpus, claiming that
the only charge which can be sustained
is that of crimina tit- _;ece. The
death by railroad accidents of th't
teen persons inl this vicinity, withi',
the last twenty days, has iro'sd:1 a
spirit of linquiry mand de'eriniation
which %ill not readily be put down.
The horor of these accidents is furth
or intendlied by the fact that eight of
the victims were burned. It is also
currently reported that if this investi
I gatioll results in anything like a case
against the railroad men, others will
follow. Several large suits for dam
ages will ,ertainly be brought against
the colllpmlieg." CoM
