Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties are the
only ones that will fall into the fourth class
ficaton. The bill provides for deputies in
certain cases, whose number is determined
and compensation fixed by the county COM
missioners and the courts. The bill in its
present shape will retrench over one fourth
the expenses of the county officers. 1t may
be slightly modified in its detail, but its main
provisions will pass into law. So far as
present incumbents are concerned the consti-
tuition prevents it taking effect. In no case
is the officer to receive any deficit in the sums
allowed him, from the county treasury.
| SHARPE's RIFLEs.-A box of these celebra-
ted shootin tools was on exhibition at
Adamss express office yesterday. They are
certainly very convenient weapon and if
they shoot half as certainly and powerfully
as is said, they are far more terrible than Il
Mimic. Indeed the Sharpe gun is MIME,
shooting the peculiar ball in which all the
advantage of tha celebrated weapon consists.
The ball is heavy, conical, and furrowed to-
ward the bottom with two shallow channels
which are filled with beeswax. What the
advantage of this arrangement is, we don't
know. The gun caps itself from little res-
ervor under the hammer, and single twist
of the wrist suffices to open the breecll
ready for cartridge to be put in at once.
Another motion closes the breech, " bites"
the cartridge, and leaves the rifle ready TO
fire. Unlike revolver, there is no chamber
of charges, which, when exhausted, must be
filled again before any more firing can be
done, but the shooter can keep shooting away
as long as he has cartridges, only stopping
every 80 shots or so, to fill his {" cap cup
1t is said that a skillful man can fire 30 or 80
times minute with it. indianapolis Jour.
The Hon. Carroll Spence, American Min
lister to the Porte, has presented an official
communication to the Sultan on the subject
of the law which makes it capital offence
for a Musselman to renounce Isamism, set
ting forth in a condensed view the various
reforms effected in Turkey, and an elaborate
argument urging the immediate repeal Of the
existing law.
The late State Democratic Convention OF
Virginia held its sessions in the African

most commodious place of meeting in that
city.
