A con ference will follow, it Is belie veil, •be tween the President, Mr. C •rflsle and Mr Fairchild, touching not alone the cl visibility of calling an extra session o'" Congress but the form of tariff bill to he presented to the next House. It was Mr. Breckenrldge, of Arkansas, who first suggested that the way out of the difficulty was to practically settle the question before Congress meets. This, he thinks, can 1>-* done by preparing a tariff bill by and with the advice of the President and the secretary of the treasury, thus giving: It the prestige of the Administration endorsement. The idea hits since been largely discussed and generally ap proved, and something is likely to come of it. Revenue reform is very much needed, but is not the “Main issue” ot the hour. Tariff reduction is the re form most needed by the various in terests of this great and growing coun try. How would a repeal of the whis ky tax benefit the farmer? By en abling him to distil his own whisky or to buy it at a less cost. Would lhat inure to the benefit of a country? Ii you multiply the quantity will not. its use l»e proportionate? Who would think of trying to reform anything with whisky, but revenue. It has “reformed the revenue” oj m my a man, ami would reform that of this nation, hut then we dou’i want to walk backwards like a crab If it is Democratic to advocate free whisky and more wltisky, why let us depart from that Democratic principle as being more honored in the breach than the obser vance.” We want a reduction of tax ation. not that which is designed for und «Ioes go to the support of the gov- meiit, hut that iniquitous system of taxing a nation to give annuities to pampered monopolists. They tell os that under this system that the coun try has prospered. Well, what of It?

There Is nothing inconsistent In the sentiments or opinions expressed In the paragraph reproduced as above by our contemporary and the fact that the News and Advert isek straddled ilie prohibition issue. In 1885 the News and Advertiser did decline to array itself on either side of two fac tions that threatened to foment strife and precipitate a bitter contest In this city and county over the prohibition question, and plainly and candidly stated Its reasons for occupying a po sition of neutrality. Without, refer ence to what may be the individual opinions of the editors of the News and Advertiser upon the prohibition question if it were submitted upon its own merits, free «*f complication with other issues and local factions, we do not hesitate to say that the pajHu would to-day j*crsue the same course, under similar circumstances, that it Tbe nesqaltb'n *.w In and Southeastern Mlsnonri. Hew York Tire*. The Texas mosquito is a giant In size compared with bis Jersey brother, and he flocks more closely and in vaster clouds than the latter. He bothers moving trains, but let a seoger train come to bait within bis domain and he simply crowds 'it to suffocation and desperation. He Is not disposed of with oue slap. He overcomes his victim by brute force and numbers. A delay of five minutes to a traiu will enable him to transform a lot o.' peacefully-disposed, clear skinned and well-featured passengers into a mob of mottled and wlId-eyed maniacs who fight with tbe despera tion of despair against an enemy who can only be driveu from the battlefie>d by a gale of wind. Every window Is thrown wide open; towels, bamlker- chb fs, shawls and coats are frantically waved against the Invader’s battalion, but to no purpose, until the engineer has received the signal to start and the train bas attained a speed of at least thirty miles an hour against a bead wind. The Texas mosquitio is a stayer; he is a glutxou; be never knows when be bas luul enough of blood or fighting; he Is a bore more effectively than tbe diamond drill; more deadly than tbe Interstate com merce specialist. Yet he has a rival. The rival dwells in southeastern Missouri, where game, swamps, mia*uia -and “shakes” abound. The' Missouri mosquito has a bill like a stiletto, but louger and more incisive. He is long limbed and lank, like the native, and welcomes dentil with a grin apparently satisfied that no hereafter cculd contain a more miserable state of existence southeastern Missouri. Not long ago a hunting party pitched Its camp there ;tflur a hard day’s work, it soou dis covered that a hanler night’s work was in prospect. The mosquitoes came down upou them in solid layers. Each member of the party covered face, neck and hands with tur|>entiue and stood in the smoke of an immense lire that hail been built as a protection against the enemy. As they stood in haling smoke and |mosquitoes two na tives hove in sight. It was noticed that the mosquitoes which hovered about tiiem gave them no concern. The man was tall and lean. His garments consisted of a but ternut shirt, jean trousers, cowhide boots and ragged straw hat. The wo man was tall *iid lank, like her lord. ! ike him she was tow-headed, and her skin, like his, was mottled. He walked behind with the air of a mail who was in every way worthless and kuew IL .She walked’with her head up, indust riously and scientifically,but not grace fully/working her “snuff stick.” She paid no attention to the man except once, wheu she demanded a “chaw ’f terbacker.’ t The man was her slave as well as her husband. Yet aiuoug those who knew him he was consid er d able to whip his weight in wild- eats, and lie soou showed the Hunting party that as a pain-bearer he was out of sight of any of Its members uuless his skin was fire-proof. One of the hunters j ikingly offered him a bottle of whiskey if he would take his shirt off aud lie down near a log where the mosquitoes were kuee deep for thirty minutes. The man looked at his wife. She nodded. He stripped and lay dowu on the ground, back up. The uiosqiiittoes settled on iiis back and hid it from sight. Tbe hunters forgot their stiugs iu gazing at tbe astonishing spectacle. For fif teen minutes the man never stirred, flic hunters began to believe Ids skin was sensitive to nothing. To satisfy themselves one of the mini er picked up a > ouple of live coal* oa a bit of hark, and carefully dropped them on the man’s back, between the shoulder- bhntes. Oue, two, three seconds passed, and the man showed no signs of life. Then a slight fizzing sound was heard, and tile smell of the wood lire was over come bv a more pungent odor. The man lifted bis head and looked back ward lie saw a small curl of smoke rising irmn ids back. He arose with deliberation, skunk hi inseif and put on his butternut shirt, it was supposed from Ids manner th.it his sense of right aud not Ills skin was injured. This proved to be tliu cose. He agreed, he explained, in his frightful vernacular, to **lm -k agin’ skeeters and liot galli- nippers.” He was walking in belief that lie hadn’t fulfilled h's contract wben he was presented with a bottle o! whisky, lie looked at it with long ing eyes and then stole a stealthy glance at his wife. She reached out tier hand. He gave her the bottle. She pulled the cork oul with her teeth and touk a drink. She held the bottle while her lord took a swallow, then r» corking the bottle, put it under her arm ami resumed her march. The man who had no respect for mosqui toes followed meekly. In tiie opinion ot a man who has in vestigated, always against his will, the mosquitoes of about thirty States and Territories, to say nothing of the neighboring dominion. It is acluse call betue. n the Missouri and TeXan va rieties, ami that in comparison to either ti e Jersey mosquito is a tiling to be cherished as a balm for sleepless- I)EATII AMONG THE FISH. The P. collar Effect af a Recent Hail storm lu Gorgetown County. From tl e Georgetown Enquirer. lu- tbe Southwestern comer of Georgetown county, in the Sautec Swamp about five miles below Len- ud’s Ferry, Is a large lake known a* Dawiio Lake, widely celebrated for ts great quantity of excellent fish of all kinds. About two weeks since a ter ific bail storm passed over this place of several hours’ duration, beat ing the limbs and leaves of trees Into the lake in great quantities and dam aging the crops iu the vicinity very much. A few days after said storm the fish in the lake hegau to appear upon the surface of the water by the thousands in a dying «ondition. the number increasing daMy until now the whole surfaceof the water is cov ered with them. Mr. Thomas, who owns a large field along side of Uie lake, containing one hundred acres, says that be is sure there was dead fish enough in tlie lake to cover his field all over a foot deep. Tne water qf this lake has always been of a witish color, but now it is us blaek as ink and quire bitter. It is said that the fish would approach the shore struggling as it to get on the land. Alligators, coolers and snakes were seen leaving the lake iu great uiiuibers. Dawho Lake is about one and a half miles long, from ten to thirty feet deep aud from one to two hundred yards wide. The stench arising from so large a mass of dead fish is dreadful. The buzzards . i are having a high carnival. U|«on the did iii 1835.

No visitor should leave Kioto without seeing a Kaiko entertainment. For centuries it was tbe chief school of art, produced its own high-class. types, lu which the object always aimed at was to preserve, ami l all variety, the courtly elegance and dignity and beautiful apparel of the ancient styles. Such, for exam ple. Is the Shirabiyoshi, a pure Kioto dance of considerable antiquity. And such, though of modern dote, U tbe MIyako-Odori. “ or metropolitan dance, ■ a of devised nearly twenty years ago by a * ‘ *• - -«* - Miner society * late director of the Kioto. A representation of this refined douce has jast been prepared for tbe stage with great care in honor of tbe Mikado’s visit, and 1 had an opportu nity of witnessing its performance a few eveniugs ago. The theater is of plain, unvarnished and unpointed wood, the most striking tlie ponderous roof, carried on a *iu- gie span of some fifty feet, aud the high excellence of the carpenters’ and joiners' work. Besides the main stage in front, there are two narrow stages, occupying the right and left sides of the building. On the’ fourth side, facing tbe main stage, is a large room like box for tiie imperial family »nd court, and in the front of it two or three tiere of raised seats, plainly a modern Innovation. The body of the auditorium, occupying the space be tween the side stages, is a flar, undi vided matted area, iu, or rather on, which the spectators sit in Japanese fashion, and solace themselves with their tiny pipes of fragrant tobacco and little dips of tea. On entering we find tlie stage con cealed by curtaius of white silk crape, painted with pine, bamboo and plum trees, the emblems of longevity, vigor ami fragrance. These are the only decorations. The lighting is footlights with candles for the stage, and hang ing lamps and rows of candles far the re.«t of tiie interior. On tiie rise of tlie curtains the scene in front represents a summer house iu tiie grounds of tiie Mikado’s palace, girt by a veranda with red lacquered steps and railings, and hung with bamboo blinds. Right and left, on each side of the stage, is a crimson dais, on which are seated eight girl musicians or geisha, from about eigh teen to twepty years of age, clothed in soft raiment ol brilliant hues, and got up from head to foot in the highest stvie of Japanese art. The eight on the right are players of the samisen, a species of three-stringed guitar, the chords of which are struck with au ivory plectrum. Of those oil tiie left, four play the tsuxumi, a small drum held in tue air and struck with the band, the other four performing alternately with the taiko, or flat drum, amt bells of delicate tone. Mu sic and siuging are at once begun. These are of tiie quaint ami. for tlie most part, somewhat dismal type pe culiar to the highest flights of the mu sical art iu Ja|>an. One must be a Japanese to appreciate tiiem. Time und tune, however, are evidently well kept; and the performance is doubtless good of its kind. After a short over ture. the Mikado appears, entering at the extremities of tbe side stages, right and left ol the imperial box, ami moving iu single file toward the main stage. Their advance, extremely slow, cau only be described as a progress. It is not a march; neither is it a dance as we understand the term. Stately almost to solemnity, J^t full of grace, it is a series of artistic fiosturiiigs and pantomime, in time with the music and accompanied by tlie slowest pos sible forward movement. By the time ail of tiie tianseuses have entered there are sixteen on either side—young girls of from about fifteen to seventeen years old. In dres* they are counterparts of the musicians— aglow with scarlet, light blue, white and gold, in robes of great length aud voluminous folds, bound with girdles of irtily prodigious diroen.dous. Iu spite, however, of truly gorgeous col oring. there Is nothing glarish or dis tasteful to the eye. No canon of art or taste is offended. The secret lies in tlie fabric of tlie girls* garments—silk crape, tlie delicate softuess of which relieves the brilliancy of tints that urtght otherwise be displeasing. in person tbe Malko are the prettiest little specimens of building Japanese girlhood, rosy-lipped aud black-eyed, with comely and delicate features, tiny hands aud feet, and an air of graceful modesty and iuuocence rarely seen on any stage. As for their coiffure, it is a miracle of the Japanese hairdresser's skill, and rich with adornments of flowers and coral. How much of their beauty these dainty little lasses may owe to art it might be unkind to inquire Uxkwfqsely. Kioto Is famed for its manufacture of shirttl, a white lead cosmetic of rare virtue, and said to be used witii a skill which Western ladies or fashion would give a good deal to possess. But surely there can be little need for It here, If we may judge from tiie whiteness of of the a|*}Ko'i> bands and of as much dr her arias ns Is uow and then reveal ed to us. There 1* also a Japauese rouge of great merit, which uncharit able persons might suspect of having share in the brilliancy of those threads of scarlet,” the Maiko’s lips. Tiny razors, too, are even supposed by some malignant minds to play a part In the finely penciled eyebrows of J apanese belles. Fans, of coarse, play a prominent part ih tbe intricate ges tures of the Malko. Those carried now are large and circular, and richly tiedecked with red and white flowers With these, as with their heads, hands, limbs and bodies, tiie files display to the full, on other slow progress up the theater, that music of motion which so delights the eyes of the Japauese. Thus, turning, bowing, swaying, kneeling am! waving, always grace fully and in time with the music, the ranks at length meet ORthefrotitstage, pgss ope another, and retire again down the sidos, at the end of which they turn, form into pairs, and regain the stage, one wing soon leaving it. while the other continues the dance before tbe footlights for a few minutes, when it also retire*, AU this while tlie music goes ou, now sail and sjow, anon fit livelier strains, and is accompanied by the voices of the suotfte* players, chant- lug a hymn of happiness, prosperity, and peace, In which tiie reign of “Our Lord the Mikado” is likened, in high ly flowery language, to tlie beauty and tranquilty of nature “at this first dawn of spring,” Next, the bamboo blluds of the ve randa and raised, revealing the first squadron of dancers |matured in pic turesque groups between a back ground of dean gold ami the crimson lacquer of the verauda. These, de scending to the stage, resume the dance. They have parted with flower- girt fans, and each girl bas a tsnjmmi attached to her girdle, with which she accompanies the orchestra. To them on their withdrawing, suc- oeed the seooud squadron who, with scarlet and white fans, go through a measure of singular grace and beauty, and at length retire to the veranda, which rises with them, bringing the first scene to a close. Tbe sec ond >cene U laid in the famous gar dens of A rashly ana, in tbe suburbs of Kioto, and appears as a fairyland ol flowering cherry-trees, lit by a gal axy of minute star-like lamps. Here the whole corps generally reassemble, and at length execute a Anal dance of the same type os before, after which they retire by the side stages with the slow-measured movements that mark ed their first entrance. Thus after about an hour’s : manee, ends tbe Miyako-Odori.

He advised Hayes to (Hit David M. Key into t.»e Cabinet while tiie de nunciation of the crime by this Confed erate was still ringing in his ears. In appointing Southern men to office tlie present Administration submits to no »uch humiliation aa that which John Sherman advised poor Hayes to under go iu order to quiet a fraudulent title to the Presidential chair. There are uow no Confederates. “Northern” and “Southern” liave no longer any real political signification, but are mere geographical expressions. The country is more thoroughly united than at any period in history, and all the demagogues of the Sherman stripe in tiie laud cau not disturb tile politi cal harmouj’. But when John Sherman shall be again tempted to appeal to sectional ism by denouncing a Democratic Ad ministration for appointing Southern men to Cabinet officus let him think of David M. Key and the motive for put ting tiiat Confederate and Democrat Into a Republican Cabinet. African race, an inferior race, trans ported by force from its natural habi tant to a distant country and thrown by emancipation, after a period of slavery, into the struggle for existence with a superior race, can never gain an ascendancy, but roust in time die out or become so merged into the dominant race as to finally lose its identity; that already there are evi dent sign* that the physique of th? race !* degenerating, as shown by the rate of .mortality as compared to the white race, and by the appearance of certain pathological conditions, which predict au even higherrattrof mortal ity in the near future. FALSE ARGUMENTS REFUTED. The first part of his lecture taken up with the refutation ol the argument based upou tlie census re turn*. an argument used by cer tain Northern writers to prove that the colored race is rapidly Increasing to eventually outnumber the wliites, with results fatal to the proa perity of the county, and. especially the Soutli. He quoted at some length from Mr. Henry Garnett, who bas stiown conclusively that a careful re vision of tbe census shows that the blacks are not increasing over the whites, but quite the contrary. He maintained tiiat the only solution of tiie problem is tli rough the teachings ol ethnology and biology, and the ex- lieriences of those who have studied tbe physical status of the race. PHYSICAL DEGENERACY. To show the yhysical degeneracy of the race Dr. Corson gaveth** mortuary statistics of tbe principal Southern cities, which show that the colored mortality about double* that of the white, and that the mortality from consumption among the colored people more than doubles tiiat of the whites from this disease. Further that the Negro is falling a victim to malarial and miasmatic disease, from which he wa« formerly exempt. He showed tiiat during the slavery* the physique of the race wa< good. *nd ita many in stances it wa-» lietier than that of white people, but tiiat siuce emancipa tion the Negro Ims been' thrown direct ly into tlie struggle for existence against tlie superior race, and in this struggle lie must go to the wall witii great loss of life. MISCEGENATION. He spoke at some leugth of the facts or of miscegenation, which m. ny Northern writers have overlooked in their arguments. They contend that tlie division line between the races must become more and more distinct. Miscegenation shows tiie fusion going on, in spite of its illegality, which renders the d vision Hue less distinct, producing a large mixed elemrut which becomes more aud more allied to the white race iu direct proportion tc tlie atnouut of the white blood in the uew product. A deterioration in physique may be looked upon os the natural result of the many influences at work arising from the truiisonrtation of the race to a for eign toll, to be thrown in tiie struggle for existence against a superior race, a struggle which cau have no ultimate issue but defeat, and by defeat he meant an iuability to inaiutaiu tiie dis tinctive characteristics of the race. WHAT THE CHANGES WILL BE. . The struggle wiirbe a slow process of ftidou by which tlie weak and un stable elements will disappear, while “UGH.” The Singular Spectacle that Old Chief Kawcab Beheld. ‘ From the San Jose Herald. Bank Commissioner Potts of Las Angels hod an amusing experience hi the gold times of California. The story, as told to a Herald reporter, rims as follows: Iu the early daya or the gold excite ment, before many of the young men of tiie present day were born, Mr. Potts and partner, both miners, put tiielr beads together and decided that there was probably gold at tlie head waters of tlie San Joaquiu. They thought it would be well to investigate tbe matter, and accordingly they set out. In due time they arrived at their ' s n ‘Dn. AU»y ilrfiwerel a deep hole in tin* • lied ot one of ih<b forks, and tliey con I eluded that if tliere wasgoldanywhere in the bed of the stream it was in that hole. They tried diviug to reach the bottom, but the water was too deep, ami they found themselves in a dilem ma. Mr. Potts’ partner bethought him of a diving suit iu San Francisco tiiat he coujd procure, and the decis ion was reached that he go and bring it. This he did, arriving witii it after a time. Those who have seen a diving snit are aware of the frightful ap|>earance of a man arrayed in IL Tlie front of tiie headpiece is a large circular pane of gloss that gives the wearer the ap- pearauce of a hideous Cyclops. From the top of the head ~uiis a rubber tube for supplying air to the diver, and there is also a rope attached for haud- Ing him up. Mr. Pott’s partner arrayed himself In tlie suit. Lying across tiie hole was a falleu tree, aud Mr. Potts and his partner walked out upon tbe log and the partner slipped down into the water and was instantly out of right. Mr. Potts holding the rope by which to hold him np. The agreed signal was a jerk on the rope. While Mr. Poets was thus sitting ou the log and holding tlie ro|ie he ap peared to be fishing witii a stout Hue for big fish. He was thus engaged when Thief Kaweali aud his squaws came down from tlie mountains, where they had been gathering nuts. He stopped and thus addressed Mr. Potts: “You kercltum fish V* “No, not yet,” was tiie reply, “but I expect a bite pretty soon.” The old chief was'evidently much in terested lu tlie scene, and without more ado he squatted on the bank ami awaited developments, ids numerous wives quietly following his example. Pretty soon there came a Jerk on tiie rope that rippled the surface ol the wa ter. Kaweali became greatly excited that which has any permaueucy will become so blended with the doiuiuant race as to lose its individuality. Ot the stab.e mid unstable tlie latter Is by far tlie greater. Its tmstabllity may be measured by the physical degener acy. Even to-day to. call the colored race tlie African race is something of a misnomer, because it lias undergone many modifications. A change in lan guage, in soil, in climate; a change of Mirroumliug* aud associations are lioreiit influences to eventually destroy the original racial traits. A STKKIXG RIMII.E. Iii conclusion, Dr. Corson said. “The great forces are at work, and their ultimate issue, which I have attempted to indicate, may be roughly portrayed and ejxitomized by a simile. Imagine a crystal lake fed by many streams from all (mints of tiie compass, bringing waters as varied as the region through which tliey flow. Suddenly, from tiie southward gushes In a muddy stream, which empties into the lake to soon exhaugt itself. At first, for some dis tance out on the surloc**, we can see a distinct line of demarcation between the clear ami the muddy. Gradually, by a process ol diffusion ami precipita tion. tills division line b comes less aud less distinct, the ninrtdy shading off into the clear until finally the lake is left in its original clearuess; and our eyes, wandering over its sur face, fail to detect any cloudiness in Its clear ami translucent depths.” MORALS OF TIIE RED MAN. ou the line, and the old chief got to his feet and watched tiie procedure with the deepest Interest. Presently the monster of tiie deep came to the sur face, witii iu hideous Cyclopean eye turned In Kaweali's direction. “Ugh !* shouted the ohl warrior, aud then he and his harem turned tail and fled panic-stricken over the plains Criiictsin of ilie (iovrrniumt bjr llie Indian School Organ.

Jones, of this place, wlio was then a merchant here, went to New York to purchase a stock of goods. It seems that he kept a regular diary of oil his transactions, and Major Jones has kindly furnished us with the following account of his trip, which we copy from an old, bnt well preserved manuscript: “j started from Elberton, May 20th, 1817, which was on Tuesday for New York, and come to Vienna, in South Carolina, on the same day,' and re mained there until Wednesday, 28th, and then started to Augusta, and went to Jones's, in Columbia county, and stay oil all night, 29th. Next day went to Augusta, and put up at Chisolm’s— had the ague at night. Went to tbe theater on night of the 21st.

On the 3d went to Savan nah and took breakfast at Craig's— then weut to Colonel Sfielman's and stayed there until Monday, the 9th. Then went on board tbe Cotton Plaue, and at forty minutes post two p. m., started for New York. She hod forty- two passengers on board, and as soou as we crossed tbe bar below Tybee lighthouse, nearly all on board were taken rick.

On Sunday, 15th, we had a severe storm and I was very rick all night and next day. The storm commenced about 12 o’clock and continued on through the night and until 12 o’clock next day.

Who shall say that a minute knowl edge of fasbiou's changeful customs is not worth while, when May Agnes Fleming got rich by that means? She died a year or more ago, leaving a fortune, over which a fight has just arisen In the court*. She was a writ er of stories for one of the cheap pa- p, rs. I asked a publisher in that field how, wlten morbid fiction is so plenty Mrs. Fleming accumulated wealth. “Principally by makiug a study of he ways of the rich and fashionable folks,” was the reply. “She had a knock of conceiving good plots for stories calculated to interest women and girls; but so have hundreds of amateur novelists, whose work may be had almost for tiie asking. Different from them, she took the pains to learn accurately and fully flow women in 'tlie best society' behaved, and she made her swell heroines conform thereto. In tiiat way sbe produced imaginary ladies who were true to realism. She kept tiiem right up to the times. I have even known ber, in recasting one of her old stories for fresh publication, to alter not only the costumes ofthe heroine, but to change her tricks of manner to snit new usages of society. Some of her read ers may uofhave appreciated this, but ters quieted down again lie came forth cool und unharmed aud went at hi* old trick*. Of course a feud was at the bottom uf it. John Martin killed Bill Tolliver, Crag’s brotiier, and so, of course, tlie natural result was tha» the Tolliver family and their friends set out to kill tiie surviving memters of the Martin family and tlielr friends. Craig shot a Tew men, and tlie whole county took ride*. Troops were oniered to Morehead, the county seat of Rowan county, to quell the disturbance* tiiat had been caused there by two factious—one uu- iler the leadership of Craig Tolliver, and the other marshaled by Cook II ii iu I JiHe*, who was looked upon a* being a* dangerous as Tolliver, and possessing even more com a long trip State Guard, peace was final'y re stored by an armistice ou the part of tiie Commonwealth, whose attorney agreed to withdraw prose.Mitiun on condition that Ilie two leader* should leave the State.

Scarrely had (leacc- been restored when information was received that Tolliver was back at his old haunt*. But he came back in a new charac ter. Tired of neinglimited like a dog, he conceived tiie brilliant idfa of hunting instead of being hunted. He LlKMight the matter over in Iiis own rude way and figured tilings out about like this: The only thing lie had ever lieeu forced to fear was that intangible something men called the law. Wl was tbe liw? he asked. Tlie Judge 1 on tlie bench was the only persona? exponent of it that he knew. So his mind was'made up. lie w’otild be come the law. He would make him self Judge. His friends would vote for him. Where was the man brave enough to ride up to tlie polls and de posit a ballot against him ? And so Craig Toliver, murderer and des|»erado, a criminal hiding from justice, was elected a Judge of Rowan coun:y, No further need had lie to flee from justice. He wa* ju*ti**e himself now, The man whose outbreaks ho* brought shame and dfegrac»to the fair soil of that section had turned the tables, anil with a high hand prepared to turn prosecutor instead of being prose cuted. It was a dazzling stroke of genius. The great opportnuity of hi* life was rigiit at hand, and he pre|iareti to pay off old scores, and pay them off in tlie name of tlie law. There are many indict incuts again*t Tolliver for serious crimes: yet so terrified are the people tiiat tliey allow a criminal to hold of fice. Since the election * f Tolliver to the office of Police Judge three good citizens have beeu comielied to flee from Morehead. Their lives, their fortune*, their homes, sons, daughter* au 1 wives were in danger. In the re- (►ortsof the elections Tolliver received 20 votes, thereby electing him. Peo ple who were against him were afraid to go to tlie poll* and a man who can not sign Ids name legibly is elected to an office which require* knowledge ol the law, equity of judgment and jus tice in all things. Immediately after taking possession of his office he began the persecution of Id- enemies. Yesterday afternoon lie issued warrants for tlie anest of William Logan, 24 years old, anil hi* brotiier John, 18, charged with Kukiux plans. Warrant* were placed in tiie hands of Marshal Manniu to serve. About 3 o’clock Maiiuiu and Tolliver aud a posse weut to tlie tagan House to set ve tlie warrant on tlie two boys. Upon arrival at the Logon homestead Marshal Manniu asked it tlie boys were at home. Tlie hnuse.kee|>er an swered no, but Manniu kuowing to tiie contrary, forced his way into the house and upstairs. Immediately the Logan boys, who were secreted up stairs, o(>eiied tire upou Mainiiti, riddling him with slugs from shotgun* and killed him instant ly. Tlie two hoys then attempted to make tlieir hurried escape by getting out through the back way of the house, but tiie two men who accohi- l«anied Manniu were stationed in tlie rear,- and os soon as the two boy* made their appearance the posse opened fire upon them. When the smoke cleared away it was seen that the Logan hoys lay dead—killed at tlie first fire. The men who formed tin* posse returned to Morehead, gave themselves up and gave die facts as staled. Tlie I^igan boy* were burieu tlii< afternoon at the old burying grounds about five miles north of tlie town of Morehead. Dr. II. :J. Logan, the lather of the two dead hovs, is routined in the Lex ington jail for safe keeping on a charge of ronspiring to kill Taylor Young and Judge A. C. Cole, of the Circuit Court of Rowan comity. Dr. Logan, when seen, said that the object wa* to arrest tiie boy* no that they could be pi need it. the lianilsjit' Craig Tolliver, who is Police Judge, so that Tolliver could wreak his revenge on them. Howard L gait, an uncle of these bo ,•» was tinea! tiie |iurtie* who was forced to flee from Morehead a few days ago an 1 seek a idace of safety. That whole Section of the State Is wild over the affair, ami the end is not yet. Cn|ig Tolliver is about 55 years old. and has been a desjierate character for thlrtv years. He revels iu blood sliett In 1884. at the August election, the Mnrtiii-Tolliver feud was started, and since that time more thau a dozen men have beeu killed iu rencounter*among these factions. At tiie llr-t breaking out of the feud John Martin killed Bill Tolliver, a brother ot (rralg, iu a fight. Martin was placet! iu tlie Flem- iningsbtirg jail, from which lie wa* taken by Bill UowHugaml others on a forged writ ol habeas corpus, and shot dead while ou tlie cars t*n route to Morehead. The warfare has beeu car ried on opeuiy or iu ambush ever since that time. Two years ago martial law was proclaimed in Rowan county, but as soon as the troops left tbe old troubles were renewed. ToiUrer pre tended that lie intended to reform, and some people were foolish enough to believe his professions.

Oue may find many curiosities In literature in the Mississippi files since the Hainiiton-Gambrell shoot ing. For example, a no-Hcense paper wrote and editorial on the death of Gambrel!, which caused a cold water contemporary to say; “There have been many hellish and miscreated wretches *i>ewed up from the world’s great sea of sliame, but never ditf we think that any creature with a human form conkl be so utterly infamous and degraded in heart a* to write the article” In question.
