FREAKS OF FoRTUNE.-That old pro-
verb, There is no knowing what q day
may bring FORTH" is very mysteriously
illustrated in a case cited by the Columbus
(Ohio) Statesman, Of one John Purdue, Of
indianapolis, who reports an income OF
SlO7, 900, the largest income in that city.
1t O Mr.. Purdue was formerly a citi-
zen of this county, and used to teach
school in Plain township for ten dollars
q month! When he first went into that
township, he wa considered so poor that
it was feared that he might become a
charge thereon, and he was "warned out
of it, under the provisions of a law in that
State. Now he is the, richest man in
Indianapolis.

PUT ON II BRAKES

Governor Sharkey, Of Mississippi, seems
to have been progressing too rapidly with
his work of reconstruction, and has &C.
cordingly been snubbed by the military
power, with the concurrence Of the Gov
eminent. His assumption OF power to
permit State officers under the rebel gov
eminent to continue their functions,
although allowed to pass, was unauthor-
lied at Washington; but he lately issued
an order for the organization Of q State
militia department, which appears to have
been regarded as a step too far. The plan
of Governor Sbarkey was to recruit a
State militia force of two companies in
every county, for the ostensible purpose
of protecting peaceable citizens against
outrages from lawless characters. Those
soldiers. necessarily, would have been
composed mainly of late rebel troops, and
in order to prevent possible trouble, Gen.
Slocum, military c~ommandant of Missis-
sippi, has wisely interfered and stopped
the project. If the civil courts are not
adequate to the protection Of the citizens
of Mississippi, the United States troops
certainly ought to be, and we see no ne
cessity for such a military establishment
as that contemplated by the Governor.
1t is stated that the Mississippi Executive
felt very indignant at the interference Of
Gen. Slocum, and that he telegraphed to
Secretary Seward to inquire if such o n
duct was authorized at Washington. The
latter is said to have answered that Mis-
sissippi is still under military authority,
and that the action Of Gen. Slocum could
no be interfered with. This snubbing of
the ambitious Governor will probably be
a good thing for him. He is evidently a
little wild and needs a strong hand at the
reins. Nothing should be done to retard
the reorganization of any reclaimed State,
so long as the work is properly done, but
it is better to keep the " brakes" well
down than to run the risk Of a general
smash-up.

Acau1rrED.-Henry Wonder, who was
on trial in the District Court for the crime
of murder in the first degree in killing
one Henry Baker, near Egan Canon, was
yesterday ac~quitted-the jury rendering a
verdict Of not guilty without leaving their
seats. There was no evidence to convict
him. excepting his own confessions, which
the Court would not permit to 60 before
the jury, as they were extorted from the
prisoner under the direst fear-he literally
being under the gallows with the rope

In my second letter treated of Martial Law
very briefly, for so great subject, yet hope
with sufficient clearness and precision to be un-
derstood by all my readers. By this time sup
pose that you will clearly understand that there
is no such Jal0 in existence as Martial lar; that
the use of the term is only fraudulent trick to
cheat the ignorant, law-loVing people into the
belief that they are ruled by some sort of law,
while in fact the law is suppressed, and there is
no rule over them but the absolute will of mill
tary commanders great and small.
In my third and fourth letters treated of the
convention and its revolutionary origin charac=
ter and acts. What was said on that subject
Though not a tenth part of what might be we'll
said in illustration ofthe theme believe to be
quite enough to prove the proposition with
which started, that is--"The Convention was
revolutionary; in its character in its origin and
in its acts.
come now to treat of subject, which if /
stood alone, would require long and laborious
exposition. But as my present theme is only a
part of martial law, only the means and ma
chinery by which the laws of the land are si-
fenced and suppressed, and the absolute power
at Headquarters ramifed into every corner of
the State, and permeated through the whole
mass of society, the particular matter in hand is
more than half discussed, under the head of
martial law My proposition announced at the
beginning is this-"The government of the va
rious sections and districts of this State by
Provost MarshaJs is an unlawful and dangerous
anomaly" They are military police otieers and
their authority over soldiers and camp follow
ers is the same as the authority exercised over
civilians by our civa proUosts (often called Chief
of police) in our towns and cities. And the
Prouost Marshal has no more authority over
civilians and their affairs than the Provost CSUiJ
has over soldiers in garrison, camp or field. My
objections are not to Provost Marshals (any
more than to Captains majors when confined to
their proper places and limited to their proper
functions;) but it is to the perversion of and
uses of the Office, and the gross abuse of power,
openly displayed, in contemptuous defiance of
the law and its accredited ministers, and in ca
PRECIOUS tyranny over private persons and their
property. The aRamaJous character of this ex-
orbitant power is beyond dispute; for such a
thing has never been heard of in this country
before the present troubles; its legality has new
er been affirmed by any respectable person
within my knowledge; and venture to assert
that no publicist OF lawyer of fair standing viii
risk his reputation by affirming it. And as to
its being dangerous to the laws, to civil and re-
ligious liberty, and the rights and property of
individuals, all the people Of Missouri know
that
And yet its existence among us remains to

THE FASTEST Two MILE RACE EVER RUN.--The
sports of the turf, which ceased with Gen. John
Morgan raids, have been revived in Kentucky,
and great race was run over the Woodlawn
Course, Louisville, on Tuesday, June 9Th. The
race was for purse of 5000, two mile heats.
The entries were Alexander's 'sAsteroid," and
Harper's "Loadstone," both by the famous
Lexington" Both had been winners, caste
riod" at st. Louis and "Loadstone" at the Lex
ngton races a few weeks previous. Asteroid
was the favorite, and won after exciting race
in each heat. The time in the first heat was
3365-second heat 1888. The first mile in the
second heat was run in one minute and forty
four seconds-the best mile ever made in this
country. The two heats were unequalled. "As-
teroid,3 it is believed, could have run the last
heat in 1892 had the running been forced, His
owner was offered $40, 900 for him but declined.
"Asteroid" is entered for the Saratoga races
