IMPORTANT SUIr-A long pending suit in
Yallobusha county, in which the Colonisation
society are much interested, was before the
circuit court Of that county lately. 1t was the
case of Kirkman VS.. Gernett, administrator of
Herd, and closed by the rendition of a verdict
for the plaintiff for 1888, 900. The Coffeeyie
Intelligencer says that the case has been pend
ing since 1849. The plaintiff has heretofore
obtained three verdicts, each of which has been
set aside by the high court. At the last May
term of the Yallobusha circuit court, verdict
was rendered for the defendant, but was set
aside by the judge, and a new trial ordered,
which has resulted in the verdict above stated.
The case will probably be carried to the high
court again. The tecedent, Herd, left some
sixty odd negroes with instructions for them to
be sold, and the proceeds to be paid over to
certain persons in trust, forthe 'coonsiaton
society,"" and upon the final result of this cause
depends large portion of this bequest.

A Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond Enquirer, in detailing some of the prac-
tees in and about congress- says, the most
monstrous abuse of the mileage sy stem, and at
which Mr. Houston, of Alabama dealt a very
effective blow, is in the office of the sergeant
at arms. That officer was charged with the
duty of summoning the clouds of witnesses that
attended the last session; and, although he
never went out of bis Office to make service, it
is said that he cleared more than 1875, 600 by
the little job! The way it was managed was
this: The sergeant at arms is allowed TWEEN
ty cents mile, coming to and fro, for sum
moning witnesses. He would readily obtain
a person to 60 the round, and summon large
number OF witnesses In one trip, and yet he
would charge mileage for a number of trips
equal to the number of witnesses. About
fifteen witnesses were summoned from the
neighborhood of fort Smelling; and SO the SER
geant at arms charged mileage for fifteen trips
and it was allowed.
In the Watrous case, about twenty witness
es We're summoned at one time from the distant
State Of Texas, and the sergeant at arms great
ly fellcltated himself on the prospect of mon
strous fee by charging for about twenty con-
secutive trips to Texas. Mr. Houston, how
ever, opposed this, compelled the sergeant at
arms to succumb, and saved the government
nearly $4,000 by his unhinching economy in
this instance.

a FUNNY ADMINIsrUArGoN BLUNDER.-
The people of Minnesota are making merry
over a little peddling characteristic operation
of Mr.. Thompson, Secretary Of the Interior,
This Cabinet officer, it seems, had heard some
thing affecting the political soundnoss Of a
certain Col. Mobiles, who has command Of the
South Pass wagon road expedition, out a.
m0ug the Dacotah Indians. OF course, ono
of Mr.. Buchanaus advisers could not allow
such a rumor to go unnoticod, and so he
hastened to write to the administration editor
at st. Paul, inquiring if it was true, as report
ed, that Col, MOBILES had, in previous years,
" made abolition speeches ia MHa@oia," and
plainly intimating that If the Department was
satisfied of the truth Of the allegations, ,"
the offender would have to walk the plank.
1t so happened, however, that instead of
directing this missiye of his inquiring mind
TO the editor of the Pioneer, he sent it to the
editor Of that strong Republican paper, the
Times But the latter lost no time in reply
ing; gave Col. Noble an excellent character
as public officer, admitted that he had once
believed in that string Of "glittering general
tiles the Declaration of Independence. but
affirmed that he was now cordial supporter
Of the President The next heard Of the mat
ter was. that Col. Mobiles had been dismissed
from office, without notice to him. The for
mer belief in the Declaration Of Independence
was supposed to have settled Col Mobiles
fate, But the sequel is scarcely less humili-
ating to the Secretary Of the Interior, than
his former act was disgracoful. When the
officer had been condemned and sentence ex-
ecuted on him, the case was investigated, and
after a fair trial, the accused was found to be
entirely innocent. He was thereupon rein

eighty. To draft such a bill requires but lit
tie ability but to enforce it would involve
consequences that we are not prepared to
meet. But to draft law which should keer
within the bounds Of the Constitution. and
avoid direct conflict with the powers of tho
Federal Government, and at the same time
put the sting Of disability into the cxac-
tions of oppression, this requires a cool stead
mess of courage and scope Of ability far
above all jealous defamation or rhetorical
philippics, however justly deserved NJ.
