TWe clip the following from a late number
of the vicksburg Sentinel. We know nothing of
the matter stated, beyond the fact that there ex-
lists a law. making it the duty of the Supreme
Court to hear the argument of causes at Oxford.
If, as stated by this writer, Judge Sharkey has
been paid ST. 900 for services he never rendered
it is well enough for the people to inquire into the
facts, and either have the law repealed or prevent
the Judge from drawing money from the treasury
for services he never renders. We call the atten-
ton of our candidates for the Legislature to this
matter, and if the Judge presents his claims as a
candidate for the u S. Senate, it will be proper to
enquire if he has not already lived long enough
upon the bounty of the publie--dong little and
receiving high salaries:
To CANDIDATES FOR THE LEGIsLATURE.-I wish
to call your attention to a law now on our Statute
Book, which public justice requires should be re-
pealed. 1t is to be found in the laws of 1850, p.
1903, entitled can act to authorize the Judges Of
the High Court OF Errors and Appeals. to meet at
Oxford and hear the argument of causes" For
services under this law, they are each allowed
$500 year in addition to their salary.
Now, Srs, under this law, Judge Sharkey has
been paid 1000, and has lever been in Oxford
In 1850 he never went towards Oxford. He
went to Havana, New York. Washington and the
Virginia Springs, and came home and drew $500!
for nothing This year he started to Oxford, got
half way, turned back, came home, got his $500,
thus making the round sum of $1,000 for doing
Just nothing at all.
Judge Clayton and Smith have always been
present as the law requires to dispatch business,
but there was none to do. They drew their pay
they were entitled to do /; but it proves thai
this law should be repealed useless. 81, 500 of
the public money might be better employed
What say you, gentlemen candidates for the le-
gislature CIVIS

Col. JEFF. Davis

Has rendered his resignation as Senator in Con-
gress, as We learn by telegraph from Jackson
There is an openness and manliness in the conduct
of Col Davis, that will be sure to be appreciated
By every gentleman in the State. How unlike
Senator Foote in every thing that goes to elevate
the man and dignity the gentleman.
There is in the hands of the editors of the Mis-
sissippian, an address from Col Davis, to the peo-
pie of the State, which, we learn, will appear as
early as possible.
0CTOur contemporary of the Democrat has inform
ed that he put his the letter tender
ing public dinner to Col. Davis, which appeared in
the STANDARD last week. We copied the letter and
the names, as found them the Democrat, and we
gutless of even intending unkindness to our con-
temporary and friend. We found the record as we
gave it, and the information impaired to this week
is such we were unprepared to hear. If our old
friend did not approve the course of Col Davis and his
reached the public eye during his absence by in
advertence, appended to letter approving his course
propriety it seems, would have suggested disavowal
of such approval We shall not believe our old friend
intended to be regarded 'fence-man, '-approvine

gence surely, will exonerate him.

IL will be found, that as early as 1904, the
Upper Canada districts were included in the
ew York annual conference, and continued as
part of it, the same as other districts, till 1912,
when these districts, and also the Lower Canada
districts, were included within Genesee confer.
ence. In 1916 the Lower Canada districts were
embraced within the New York and New Eng.
land conferences. In 1920, both Upper and
Lower Canada were again included in the Gen.
nesee conference and in the same year, the
bishops were authorized, with the concurrence
of this conference, TO establish an annual confer
ence in Cansda and 10 1924, the Canada con
ference included the whole Of the upper prov.
ince--and thus il stood in 1928, when erected
into an Independent establishment.
