NEW YORK, Oct 4.-The Times's Washing

walls as to the effect Of relieving Gen. Bragg
from further service on the Wirz Military Com :

order of the War Department embraces a
grave legal question as to the right of the Com

question, however, has long been we'll settled

ing home after a short absence and finding the
doors all locked, entered his dwelling by a win
dow, upon which he discovered man in bed
with the s'wife of his BOSOM whose con-
stancy he had never doubted. Stung to the
quick with madness, he seized gun, but be.
fore he could level it, the disturber of his peace
had fed with his garments in his hands. The
exasperated husband then discharged his wea-
pom at his wife and laid her Il corpse at his
feet So wild was he in consequence that he
had to be disabled by shot in the shoulder,
before he could be arrested.

. Inc numOerS gwen cover cases Ot every na-
ture, whether chancery, law, or criminal. The
smallest docket was that for the May term,
l826-only four cases being entered.
Married life, in old times, seems to have been
a very quiet and contented state Of existence
that is, if the Court records may be relied upon
as fair index to it's character. The first ap-
plication for divorce was made by Mrs. Lu-
cinda Tunstall, at the April term, 1921 That
her husband, I" Tommy was u ''sad fellow ;"
may be judged from the fact that the Court un-
hesitatingly granted Lucinda's application.
This is the only, divorce case docketed during
period of fifteen years or more.
Fights at fisticufs occurred-of course they
did How could elections be held, house
raisings and log -rollings be carried on, without
such spice and variety? They were looked
for in the absence of other ''theatricals;'' and,
as backwoods pastime, seem to have been
tolerated, or overlooked, by our early grand
juries. At least the old court records justify
this belief most thoroughly. Deadly weapons
were not concealed about the persons of our
psoneers. They were assailed by hard clenched
fists and defended themselves with kindred
weapons. Hence, nobody was hurt Sc
riously.
Have not we fallen upon evil times? Courts,
more frequent now than forty years ago, are
almost monopolized by violators of the peace
and dignity Of the State and people. Then areal
criminal was curiosity. Through a term of
years running from the year 1919 to the year
1927 there is no record evidence of crime in
Alexander county, which received or deserved
punishment beyond fine. No person wa.
punished during that period by Imprisonment
either in the county Jail States prison. John
Wright and others were indicted for riot at the
April term l827-the first riot Of which there
| is any mention-but of such harmless nature
was it that a jury Of ''peers'' declared the af
| fair a ''joke," and pronounced the defendants
guiltiess
With this glance at county matters, which
may interest some of your readers, and possibly
be of service to 'future historians shall
return to the subject directly in hand, and il
my next and succeeding numbers deal with
| Cairo as it was, its people, its affairs, and its
pastimes.

Of the Western States in which che had So
journed several months She was aston-
ished to find so little to remind her that the
country Is engaged in 3 terrible war, which
is taxing it's resources almost to the utmost
extent. Only IN the reduction of the num-
Der Of laborers, did the people seem to feel
the evil effects Of war upon their prosperi-
~. In numerous instances she found col
ored persons-refugees from Southern
slsvery--employed as house servants, and
the greatest satisfaction was expressed with
their faithful discharge Of their duties.
This was regarded as hopeful INDIGESTION

against negroes Il is 20 be hoped that this
