The Hall Case.
Xk.v Yoi'.k. December 2k—In the
Hall trial to-day. the defense offered no
testimony, and after summing up. Judge
Daniels charged the jury. Ho explained
the duties of the members of the Board
of Audit an l the requirements made of
them by law. They should have investi
gated all claims before auditing them, to
prevent fraud, and the question for the
jury to decide upon was whether the de
fendant hud discharged his duty. The
defendant being a lawyer and a man of
culture, should bo held to a strict per
formance of the duty imposed upon him.
If a publiofficer willfully neglected his
duty, he is gnilty of a misdemeanor. The
duty required was personal and could
uot be delegated to others. An inspec
tion of many of tho bills presented would
have revealed frauds of a gross character.
The Judge, instancing one bill from
which was omitted the creditor’s name,
said the public had a right to expect
an examination of all these bills. He
instructed the jury that the defense of
tho duties being too ardnor.3 would not
stand os an excuse, for no officer
can undertake a duty and wilfully neg
lect it. If the jury are satisfied that the
defendant committed an offence, no mat
ter how painful it might be to the de
fendant’s fricnds.it was their dnty to pro
nounce him guilty, and unless they had
an abiding conviction of his guilt they
must find him innocent. lie instructed
them to confine themselves to the indict
ment charging the defendant with will
fully and intentionally omitting to per
form the duties prescribed by law.
J udgo Daniels also instructed tho jury
that evidence of conspiracy between Hall
and his associates connected -him* with
the fraudulent bills.
The jury retired at G o’clock, and at 8
returned and were instructed, in answer
to queries from the foreman, that the
simple act of neglect of duty, if willful,
would warrant a verdict of guilty, and
the jury were themselves the judges
whether the act was, or was not willful.
Tho judge told them if they didn’t find
a verdict within an hour or so they
would be locked up, and tho jury retired
again.
Not Guilty.
Tho jury in tho Hall case returned a
verdict of not guilty. Tho Terdict wn3
received with great applause.

BT MASK 8IBLBT SEVEKAJfCK.
In late October, 1872, we struck this
mystic trial of tho god Tawotz—a small
party of us detached from a Government
exploring expedition.
The 3«n wa3 sinking over tho Virgin
mountains as we debouched from a side
canon and from out a dreary waste of
sandhills, and came unexpectedly upon
tho sparkling reaches of tho river, but a
few miles below tho mouth of tho Grand
Canon. Slant sunbeams turned tho
stream to molten gold, that poured musi
cal over frequent rapids and roundabout
tho entrance of the canon, where twin
towers, four thousand feet high, stood
guard with Titanic prohibition, quivered
tho soft air with tho tremulous folds of
an intangible pimple, a royal color, hang
ing Hke a Hatred veil to screen tho weinl
mysteries beyond.
For days wo had been looking forwnvJ
to this meeting with tho Colorado of tho
NVe3t. Wo hnd left tho Mormon settle
ments of Southern Utah several days’
march behind ns, bidding coodbye to
civilization in vinious little St. George,
and exchanging it3 abundant fruit for
sure sterility and possible thirst in tho
barrenness of Northern Arizona. Wo had
marched rapidly southward, aiming at
springs tho sizo of a man’s hand, some
times “making” them, often missing
thorn, and undergoing that saddest of
campaigner’s misfortunes, a "dry camp.”
Day by day the country grow wilder and
more desolate, giant cacti seA irregular
mosquito took tbo place of vho- sago
brush which luxd followed us continually
from Salt Lako; shade had entirely van
ished, and bare, bleak and massive stood
the naked ribs of tho mountains, gro
tesque as tho genius of Zamacois, terri
ble os that of Dore. No wonder that,
with this dance of death about U3. wo
caino gladly upon tho sight of water, tho
first generous stream for many leagues,
and forgot that every hour wo had boon
drawing nearer to tho hostilo Apache s,
“mighty in the war cry,” who swarm up
from tho south to tho river, equally glad
with ourselves for its refreshing, sweet
water, and still more thankful for its
rich harvest of fish.
No thought of danger entered tho
minds of our small party as wo vaulted
from our saddles, turned loose our riding
animals and spread blankets in tho soft
white sand on tho bonks. There lying
and resting ourselves nfter our thirty-
mile ride sinco daybreak, with tho pen-
sivo tinkle of tho boll-marc reaching us
from tho foot-hills where the herder?
have driven tho mules for grass, and with
tho equally soothing incense from tho
savory quarter of tho cook’s domain, a
drowsy film overspreads the eye of rea
son, and in imagination wo behold re
enacting the scattered cvent3 of histoiy
that hnvo lent a human interest to thi3
dolorous region, literally Boccaccio's
“lachrymal valo of misery.” Yonder
shingle of white sand on tho oppoeito
shore is sacred to tho memory of tho un
fortunate Fred W. Loring, quondam co-
laborer of ours in academic shades; for
thither ho returned with a small party
from out tho dangers of tho Grand Canon
in *71, to a boat moored yonder, after
tho river party of his expedition had un
dergone untold hardships in tho canon,
short o£ provisions, skeptical of success
in reaching a projected upper rendezvous,
and generally demoralized. Within a
month after his exit from tho Grand
Canon, young Loring lost his life nC
Wickenburg, in Arizona, at the hands of
Apacho-Mohaves, while traveling in a
stage for California.
But we are not here to drift upon
imagination nor to follow chronology; it
is our business to cross tho river. But
how to do it? There is no known ford
hereabouts, no boat, no wood for making
a raft. On tho hither bank there is hard
ly a stick, barely enough drift-wood and
dry mesquite to feed tho cook’s fire. On
the farther side, however, is a bend of
tho river, wo see a pile of logs, groat and
small, that had polished themselves
smooth on their wild ride through tho
Grand Canon. It was impossible to ford
tho swift and treacherous stream; wo
again and again spurred our animals into
the wnter, only to find that at a certain
depth the current took them off their feet
and swept thorn along unmanagoble.
The nearest ferry was seventy-fivo
miles below us at tho mouth of tho Vir
gin. To retreat to that, and on an un
known trail, before making an attempt
at crossing here, would have been faint
hearted, besides causing a break in tho
line of exploration. King, the only ono
of us able to swim the river, and that
with no case, made several bravo trials
to capture tho logs. Ho swam first with
a long rope, paid out to him from the
near shore; but the immense weight, os
he neared the central current and tho
rope bellied away from him down stream,
proved too great, and ho was obliged to
free himself or bo pulled under. Again
he started with a mere pack-thread, with
which he loaded safely on tho farther
shore, a quarter of a mile below. As he
began hauling in, a stouter string was
tied to the pack-thread on the nearshore,
soon a small rope (of joined lariats), and,
lastly, all the stout ropes that could bo
gathered from the cargo and baggage.
Everything worked well for a while, and
the primitive man at the other end of the
lino had just announced that the small
rope was in sight, when there come a
shout from him, announcing what wo
easily felt from our end, that the repo
had parted in mid-stream, torn asunder
by the tremendous force of the current.
Tho raft wood which had seemed just
within our grasp was as far awuy as over.
To meet so much difficulty in Hooting
even a small rope across stream was
certainly discouraging; to haul over
enough wood for a raft, to build it, and
attempt to ferry over cargo, instruments,
and men. seemed likely to take a week.
Next morning found ns ten miles down
the river, after a midnight groping over
trailless mountains, at a narrower part of
the stream, near the month of the Grand
Wash—an immense feeder of the river
from tho north, draining hundreds of
squares miles, waterless at present, but
sending down booming torrents through
its rocky canons during the tremendous
storms which abound, or after a cloud
burst in the mountains above. A large
log, that seemed waiting to be turned to
nobler use than soaking itself on the eJ_~
of the water, furnished us with two sub
stantial parallel halves for our raft- Au
gur, hatchet, driftwood, and pegs did the
rest; and hy mid-afternoon our rude Cy
clopean craft was pronounced built and
at once christened the “King.” in honor
of the builder, the swimmer, tie wielder
of hatchet, and twirier of augur.
Tho raft was ready for launching.
King swam over once more, rope in hand
and we proceeded to test our ferry-boat,
two of us on the raft hauling cautiously
at tho rope which King held on tho
farther side, and six on tho hither side
paying out a stern-fast, which was to pull
the craft back if the tow-line should part.
The plan was well enough for any ordi
nary river: bntwc had not estimated the
terrific mid-current of this wild river of
canons. NYo reached nearly mid-stream
in safety. There tho current began to
strike us with greater forco; King had
hound his rope as firmly a3 possiblo
about loose shore rocks, holding it as
well, and stood like a statue, braced
among the stones. Tho water begins to
creep up over our shoes; the raft is
careened over and borne rapidly down
stream; we are up to. our waists in tho
river; and, just as I had rather recklessly
wound tho rope about my hand in theen-
ergy of pulling, and had been myself
pulled off the reft till I was directly over
the water. King gave a shout, his rope
was pulled quickly through his hand),
though not entirely away from him, my
companion jerked mo back upon the reft,
and we are hauled back by our friends on
NM. * *-*—•*- w ; c'JJ
A word of the locale, for tho understand,
ing of what follows. Tho river was hero
about a hundred yards wide, and terribly
swift; there were rapids abovo and lie-
low, about a half mile either way. The
river mado a semicircular bend to tho
south. Wo were nt about tho middle of
this semicircle on the north or inner sido
of tho bend. On tho hither sido, there
was a broad sand-beach skirting tho river,
a narrow fringe of .low mosquite and
grease-wood on its outer edge, and be
hind that, almost perpendicular moun
tains, incapablo of ascent. Our camp wo3
on the sand, just below tho fringe on
mosquito. On the farther shore there was
a tract, several rods wide, of stones, evi
dently very troublesome to tho feet, from
tho way in which King stepped and fell.
It was probably tho broken volcanic rock
of the region, which is extremely lacerat
ing. Beyond the stono was a small strip of
sand, and hack of that, rising ground for
several hundred yards, until a range of
low liill3 was reached, also semicircular,
following tho bend of tho river and end
ing precipitously on it at cither end of
tho semicircle. Tho ground between tho
hills and the sand-beach was as smooth
as an esplanade, not a bush nor a treo
nor a largo reek on it. It wa3 fortunate
that it was so. A rod or two from tho
stones, on tho sand-beach, was ono of
those largo detached boulders or volcanic
fragments, so common to tho region,
standing out nlono. It was perhaps ten
or twclvo feet high and double that width,
bnt wliat appeared most remarkable was
tho perfect manner in which, hy frost or
other inean3, it had been split from top
to bottom, and opened to tho width of
two or three feet. This opening faced
directly to the river, but did not extend
from front to rear of tho reck. It was
precisely os if it had been touched by a
magic wand, and thrown open like a pair
of doors on a liingo behind. A more se
cure hiding place, except from tho river
side, could hardly be devised.
These topographical features we had
taken m at a glance on our arrival, bat
had only carelessly noted, as not espe
cially interesting us. NVo had seen tliat
there was enough of a depression in tho
hills back of tho river to allow an easy
passage, if once we were over, and hail
noticed the opened rock. Wo soon had oc
casion to study both hills and rock most
critically and anxiously.
Our reft hauled up to shore, and the
story of tho “horrors of the middle pas
sage” told, wo had resol ve<l ourselves into
a committee of ways and means, and were
eagerly debating what was to he done
next; whether a second trial of tho raft
was to ho made, or an attempt to swim
our animals, or a detour to tho Virgin
river ferry. King, meanwhile, chilled
with tho breeze and thoab3onccof clothes,
after his exertion, had picked his way
over tho stretch of sharp stones, and was
running hack and forth on the sand £or
exercise; now running, now standing and
going through most vigorous calisthenics,
or whirling liko a dervish, or shouting to
us to make haste with our decision.
Suddenly, a shot—a rifle shot—and a
loud shout from our Ualf-hreed guide,
“ Apache 1 Apache!” And looking across
tho stream we saw a half dozen stealthy
figures just appearing over the ridge of
hills. They were out of range of our
own guns, which lay on tho sand near us,
but within easy shot of King, who was
sovcral hundred yards nearer them; in
fact, the first shot seemed to have been
nt him. Ho stopped in his exercise,
looked sharply over his shoulder in tho
direction of tho shot, and, as we shouted
to him all .in ono voico a confusion of
commands, “ Look out!” “ Come hack!”
“ Hurry, hurry!” ho gave a rapid look at
tho broad belt of wounding stones be
tween him and tho river, over which ho
would have to creep slowly, and the next
instant, horrors! as a second shot came,
he dropped on tho sand in front of tho
opened rock and crawled slowly into its
cleft front. He afterwords said that this
second shot had thrown tho sand into his
face and eyes and almost blinded him, 60
that ho could not have made for tho river
if he would.
But conceive tho state of mind of as,
his comrades, to see him deliberately im
mure himself within gun-shot range of
Apaches, wounded, perhaps—for wo could
not account for his falling on his knees
so suddenly, and with darkness only two
or three hours off. Wo shouted with ono
voico, “Wounded ?” to which came a low
answer, unintelligible. To a second and
louder shoat, there came a welcome
“No-o-o,” which relieved us on that score,
but did not place in better light tho dan
ger of his situation. Meanwhile, to some
of tho party scanning the hill opposite
carefully, there appeared figures moving
about at intervals on tbo ridge, and ap
parently occupying the whole extent of
tho semi-circle from end to end. Our
dismay at this movement, and at the
probable size of the band of Apaches,
which it indicated was very great, until
we noticed that no one showed himself
longer at the first point where they had
come in sight, near tho lowest depres
sion, from which we concluded that they
had separated, and stationed themselves at
different points on the semi-circle of hills,
so as to cover more effectually the rock
into which they had seen King crawl, and
with which their visits to the place had
of course made them acquainted. As wo
watched the naked figure in the rock
yonder, and reflected how powerless wo
ware to help him, the very reft on which
we had depended lying useless at our
feet; as we thought of him three times
surging through that boiling current on
our behalf, only to be thus caged at last,
there was none of us but would have
risked death ten times over to help him.
The position was that which chess
players call stalemate: nobody could
more. If King showed himself, the
Apaches would shoot him; if they ap
proached we should shoot them. But
what could we do? And, on the other
hand, what could he or the Apaches do ?
I Vo could not cress, and if we could, we
should hare no guns; and we should be
pretty sure to be picked off before we had
well risen from the water ; certainly be
fore we had picked our slow way over the
stones, to reach him. Bnt could he come
to ns ? But for the hundred feet of knife-
blades and stone jungle (why couldn’t it
have been sand ?) we felt that he would
hare run the gauntlet long ago; but such.
an attempt over that ground would have
been rashness itself, with a dozen rifles
pointing at him from the hills on three
sides. As r i - t’::' tion was con
cerned it was a race between daylight
and himself; at the first coming of night
he would certainly, we know, run the risk
and strike for the river.
The smooth, gently -descending esplan
ade which lay between the hills and the
river, without a stone or a bunch of grass
or a sage brush larger than a man’s head,
and every foot of which we could com
mand from our side of the river, allowed
the Apaches no chance of approaching
the rock while the day lasted. We knew
their Apache penchant for fighting bo-
liind rocks and trees too well to expect
them to ll lc theuis'lvcs on this sandy
slope in daylight. NYe knew them too
well, also, not to know that at tha least
approach of darkness, all their devilish
cunning would he exhausted in gaining
King’s covert, even if they had to tunnel
their way through the sand.
All this time (there was more than an
hour of consulting and waiting) King lay
caged in his rocky prison. He was oat of
the sunlight, and, after three hours of
nakedness, naturally chilled through and
through, poof folio- ! Vfo could seo him
raising himself on his hands, twisting in
every direction, digging and tossing the
sand within reach as though on a wager,
and in every way exerting himself to
kceep up his circulation and ward off
stiffness. AH thi3 time he had retained
tho rope which was nttached to the for
ward end of tho reft; he had not known
if a second trial was to be made, and hav
ing it in his hands when the shots were
fired, oven in the act of falling ho had ret
tained it. He afterwards said that ho
should liavo boon irredeemably stiffened
and useless, if he had not had the rope
for gymnastic purposes, tho resistance
and weight of its length in the current
affording him ample exercise when ho
chose to pull on it. Alport of the timo
ho kept it tied about his waist.
Five o’clock had come, and the western
hills had begun to throw a creeping shad
ow on the eastern half of the semicircle.
We know that we had but an hour or two
more of daylight, and still no deliver
ance. We were nearly unanimous to
urgo Kiflg to attempt to gain the river at
tlio beginning of twilight, and had start
ed for tho bank to shout to him, when
Abercrombie, ho of tho steady nerves and
determined pluck, who had been stand
ing apart, rushi-d up with a,manner
almost excited, for him,'and shouted:
“ T havo it. Cut mo two mesquite
sticks fivo feet long, two - more about
three feet. Give me a couple of svhito
shirts, towels—anythingxrhito; a brown
shirt and tronsor3, and a lot of strong
twine."
And ho started headlong for the raft
without waiting to seo tho looks of con
sternation On the faces of the crowd. But
Abercrombie was not a man to, indulge in
a joke nor to lose his head; and before
ho had returned from tho raft, baggage
and cargo had been ransacked, and every
thing desired brought forth. At the raft,
ho quickly untied the shore rope, coolly
pulled tho reft a little higher on shore to
prevent its floating nway with him, went
on itand untied tho forward rope,brought
it ashore, and joined the two rop js in a
firm splice. Running up, ho said: “Quick!
See how tho sun’s going. Give mo four
or five sheets of paper and a pencil. You,
Boh, tio up tho sticks, hut don’t put tho
shirts on till I toll you.”
A11 this lied much more tho look of a
madman than anything eke; and several
of the men becan to lift tlwir eyebrows
and shako their heads; especially VHon
Abercrombie coolly salted himself before
a camp-chest and bognn to print rapidly
on tho sheets of papers in a child’s large,
block letters. This done, with Im usual
dispatch ho folded each hastily,put thorn
in separate envelopes, and proceeded to
store them away in the shirts, in different
parts of tho bundle which Bob had started.
Two lie put next the sticks, tho other
four inside tho shirts and towels. Tho
bundle was made with the sticks and
twine in -the centre; tho white things
wrapped nbont them, and the whole en
veloped with tho brown shirt and trou-
s*rs^~a oontribuiion of. the chej’s; tho
letters were placed as stated. This com
pleted, lie .takes tlio bundle, still without
an explanation, goes to tlio reft, and ties
*it securely on the joined ropes, calling
four or five of us to lii3 side, and only
then explaining thy meaning of his strange
preparations. King hail. been watching
us most intently; ho had not made a
sound since Abererrmbie had begun his
movements, which he could seo were with
an object. To him we f\~-3 shout, "Full
—tlio repo—over.”
Tho rest is simply told. King pulls
with a will, and soon the brown bundle is
crawling up tho opposite hank. It catches
again and again, hut by dint of alternate
pulling, King and we, it finally reaches
the rock, and passes into tho cloven door.
Our guide, who had been instructed to
keep his eyes on the hills and never pay
attention to anything about him, noticed
several slight movements there which
nono but an Indian eye could detest, and
said that tho Apaches had evidently seen
tho bundle creeping up the beach, but
thought it was merely clothing for the
man in the rook. It is growing dark
apace.
King opens the bundle, throwing the
brown shirt over his shoulders quickly,
as wo see, and, catching sigh' T tho let
ters, breaks open and roads Thera is
just enough light for him to decipher
Abercrombie’s large printing. He reads:
‘■Tie sticks together, bind on white
things to look liko man, tie to rope. Put
brown things on yourself. Wait till
pretty dark. NYhen already shout, (and
not till then;) we’ll pull rapidly. It will
draw their fire. Yon wait till much
darker, then run. Cheer up.”
It is growing darker. "Wo can barely
see our brown Prometheus in the rock
yonder, fashioning his white man, turn
ing him from side to side, changing leg,
arm, or head to suit his pleasure. Fin
ished, he places it standing behind him
in the rock, and falls on the sand before
it—notin act oE worship to his own crea
tion, but, as he afterwards said, to give
us a view. As it stood there in the set
tling gloom, against the dark back
ground, tho deception was perfect, and
instinctively we shouted, “Bravo f*
A lapse of perhaps a half hour, during
which all traces of daylight had been
well nigh swallowed np in darkness, and
there comes a quick, nervous shout from
the other shore. We see King thrusting
bia dummy man out of his work-shop, and
rapidly we pull it across the sandy beach;
not so rapidly but that the Apaches have
sighted it, as we meant that taey should.
Shot niter shot is fired at it. and count
ing the different spurts of flame on the
hill-tops we find that there are just ton
guns there—ten to our nine, if only our
ninth shall be recovered. As the white
bundle crawls quickly over the beach, the
illussicn and the likeness to a man on all-
fours are so complete ttatwc cannot blame
the Apaches for their blander. It strikes
the stony region and catches; King twitch
es it; we pull, it bobs up and down; the
shots continue; men never seemed to
haTe loaded so fast before. Suddenly, as
four shots follow, almost simultaneously,
as the dummy hail reached nearly the
middle of the stones, we pull violently at
it, nmking it give a convulsive jump into
the air ami fall forward on the stones,
shouting to King at tho same time to let
it lie there. As if in derisive answer to
our shout, which may have been inter
preted as a death shout, which came a
far-off, wierd cry from the hills, which
repeated itself several times as it passed
along the line, and was the most encour
aging proof of the success of Abercrom
bie’s ruse.
The shout from tho hill-tops was cer
tainly the Gaudcamus of satisfied victors.
That night, 30 soon as the raven wings of
darkne33 had folded over the twin banks.
the Apache mind purposed, with much
crawling on never-to-be-satisfled belly,
and much anxious glancing at the oppos
ite shore, cautiously to approach his slain
victim, and gently to remove the top of
his head, a belt ornament for future pow
wows.
No so. What is this ? A second white
man, no Promethean imitation, but a
supple* swift moving original, with up
per garment of brown, white as to limbs,
darts suddenly from tlio rock, clears tho
sand in a triple bound, clambers over the
stones, gaining at least ono soft stepping
spot by treading en passant on bis fallen
prototype, and plunging into the stream
above us. But two shots are fired, both
without effect.
He is a long- tiuio crossing, bnt
emerges at last, for below us, dripping
like a river-god, exhausted, with bleed
ing feet. It is our turn for a Gaudeamus,
which is given in a hearty “Thank God”
and silence, more considerate than
speech. Wo carry him quietly to camp,
where he is cored for as those should be
who have suffered bravely in onr behalf.
That night, watched over hy a double
guard, he slept the sleep of the bravo
and the patient.
Early next morning, long before
The bear that prowled all nixht about the fold
Of tho North Star, had shrunk into his den.
we were in saddle and spurring for the
Virgin Ferry, a two days’ march to the
West.
It would possibly have been poetic jus
tice, favored, however, with too much
charity, to leave tho slaughtered bundle
for tlio surprised inspection and subse
quent appropriation of its murderers.
But partly curiosity and partly tho value
of tho ropo led ns to haul over tho dum
my that night after King was mummied
in his blankets. At least a score of bnt-
let-hole3 were found in it, which haUowed
it to such a degree in our eyes that for
weeks wo kept it intact, riding by day on
a packmule, and placed honorably in
camp nt night, the most carefully tended
man of tho party. Wo considered that
its “ trial by fire” and water had hecn
more than sufficient to entitle it to tho
honor of so much semblance of the form
human as it preserved.
The stalemate had changed to a check
mate; hut it wo3 our King that was
saved, and Abercrombie was his knight.
Professional Incomes of Now
"York Lawyers.
Among these who reap a handsome har
vest out of the recent panic tho legal
fraternity stands preeminent. An im
mense increase of litigation has been
its inevitable result. Every merchant,
banker, or broker who was in trouble was
obliged to retain a lawyer, and in many
instances more than one. For instance,
thoGrinnell bankruptcy case, when it
first appeared before Judgo Blatchford,
brought six well-paid lawyers into qourt.
The fees required by these men on such
an occasion would not bo less than
$10,000. and the cost of the entire
Grinnell suit will probably eqiial fivo
times that sum. This may seem like
a largo estimate, but it is to be remem
bered that tho securities which thi3 house
held were $12,000,000, and tho amount at
stako always has a bearing on tho legal
charges. Our host lawyers value tlieir
timo from $-10 to $30 per hour, which
ia a reasonable charge. By a consulta
tion with ono of these mon you can in an
hour obtain an opinion which 'is worth
fifty .times tho amount of tho fee. If,
however, tho caso be one where a half
million is at stake, then inatoiul of a
more fifty you will ho expected to advance
a retaining feu of $500, or perhaps $1,000.
This prevents any one from securing tho
services of tho lawyer tliu3 retained. If
a lawyer, even after receiving such a fee,
should win tho caso, ho will expect from
$10,000 to $15,000 additional. Our great
lawyers demand pay commensurate with
their reputation, and hence some of
them can boast a practice worth $50,000
per year. O’Conor, previous to his
retirement, mado annually, it is said,
nearly four times that sum. Indeed, ho
was probably paid $200,000 for his
services in tho Jumel caso. He is now
worth more than a million, all of which
ho has mado hy his own genius and
industry.—Troy Times.
Two Bat.es op Cotton on One Acbe.—
Thomas H. Sandidgo, near Brownsville,
Hinds county, Miss., put sixteen one-
horso cart-loads of a compost of scrapings
of the cow lot, cotton seed and decayed
vegetables from tho bottom of a pond, on
ono aero of land. When preparing tho
land to plant, he scattered sixty bushels
of green cotton seed along the centre fur
row, and bedded on them, and cultivated
in tho usual way. Ho planted the com
mon seed he had been using for eighteen
yeara. Result: The first picking, which
was finished on tho 19th of September,
2,025 pounds, lairing at least 10SO pounds
to open by the next picking. The yield
will be over two bales to this acre of land,
at a cost for extra labor and manure not
exceeding six or seven dollars. The sur-
ronnding land of the same kind, (ordi
nary Hinds county hill land) will make
about a half bale to the sae without ma
nure.—Farmer’s Vindicator.
Taxino Powee op the States.—Tho
Supreme Court of the United States, in
the appeal of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company against tho Treasurer of Lin
coln county, Neb., resisting a county tax
levy on the property of tho road, has de
cided that tho taxing power of a State is
independent of tho Constitution of tho
Unitcri States, and that, as an attribute
of sovereignty, it may bo exercised over
all property* and business within the
boundaries of tho State, except in so far
as it may have been surrendered to the
Federal Government. The county tax on
the Union Pacific railroad is therefore
valid. Justice Strong delivered tho ma
jority opinion of tho Court, but Justice
Bradley filed a dissenting opinion, in
which the tax of tho Union Pacific road
is held to be an unlawful interference
with instrumentalities created in this
caso by the General Government.
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette says: “Tho
President has received tho resignation
of Gen. Sickles as Minister to Spain,
and has declined to accept it.” And
yet ha was so utterly incompetent that
Secretary Fish found it necessary to
conduct the negotiations touching the
case of the Virginias through the Spanish
Minister at Washington.
Only about one hundred million cigars
are manufactured annually in the United
States, and, according to tho Maysville
Republican, one-twentieth of that num
ber is made in a single manufactory in
that city.
