to him from the Memphis Post:

of his efforts is the best evidence of the

He reports affairs in Arkansas steadily

The State House of Representatives ad-
opted on Wednesday afternoon a resolu-
ton requesting the Auditor of State to
suspend the distribution II the relief
fund. As 0 a. this resolution was ad-
opted, the Democrats delighted at any
thing which will help them, or hurt their
opponents eve though 1t should damage
the credit Of the State, have been busy
circulating absurd stories relative to the
State Treasury as, for instance, that .
claim was refused p~aymentfor the want of
funds. The idea that the State was insolv-
ent was first started by the Columbus Stoses-
man, and has been eagerly caught up by
the Plain Dealer and other journals of
that ilk. It is false from beginning to
end. All proper and just claims against
the State, for which an appropriation has
been made, will be paid upon presentation
to the proper officer. The House resolu-
ton is simply intended as authority for
the Auditor to retain the relief fund un-
der his control until the Legislature can
pass Mr.. LockWoed's bill, directing that
eight hundred thousand dollars of the
said fund be used for the reduction Of the
public debt, agreeable to the recommends
ton Of Auditor Goldman in his late report.
This is conceded to be the best disposition
that a be made of the surplus Of that

General of this name is mentioned in

to mind q Mexican engineer officer, Col.

Of absence for a year to visit this country,
while our civil war was raging, for the
purpose of learning something Of improv-
ed ordnance, the manner of constructing
fortinuations, conducting siegeS, building

will remember that he was attached to the

of Vicksburg after the fall of that strong

having expired he reported for duty to
President Juares; or rather it was sup
posed he did. It is . little remarkable,
however, that his name has never occurr-

Mrs. Mary E. Pratt, wife Of O. A. B.

two operations were performed. The first

of offensive matter wa discharged, with
out atfordihg much relief. All was done
that could be, and although naturally a
portly man, he died a skeleton. He had
hurt that spot while moving, In his youth,
and it troubled him through life. He was
born in the State of New York in 1920,
and, after a short residence in Michigan,
came TO Ohio in 1874. He was a lawyer

Lieut., Col. Davis, Of the lsFth ohiS, has
been arrested at Columbus and held to
answer to the charge Of shooting at a
policeman. According to a a~tatanant in
the Statesman, the police interfsred un-
~warrsntably with the Colonel in his efforts
to q v n Of his men from q gang of
thieves, and were taken in the darkness
Of night for an additional band Of ro1naas
There is nc evidence Of lawlessness or dis
honorable conduct on the part of Colonel
Davis.
On Sunday last two boys named Ber-
nard and Lewis Auth, living in Warsaw,
a village neal Cincinnati, took their guns
and went hunting. Unfortunately, as
Bernard was climbing over q fence, the
hammsr Of his gun caught and the loaded
weapon was discharged, the entire con-
tents almost being lodged in the head of
Lewis. Strange as it may appear, the in
jured boy is rapidly recovering. The at
tending physician extracted sixty shots
from his head.
The Columbus Journal says that the
Ohio State Board of Agriculture, after a
short session Wednesday afternoon, ad-
journed to meet on March IL, 1885. The
session was purely q business one, and the
discussions were confined TO the business
relations of the Society. The premium
lists were revised, and applications for the
location of the next State Fair considered.
Five different oitiea put in bids for this
location, and all parties have had the time
for raising the required fund extended to
March 10. %
The Columbus Statesmen Of the slst
ult. says that the State Beard of Agricul-
ture convened at their rooms in the Capt.
tol en- Monday, and were in session yes
terday, Proportions for the location of
the next State Fair at different points,
we're examined and discussed; but a. the
makers Of these propositions generally de
sire to present them in q more perfect
form, the location of the State Fair will
probably not be determined upon until
the next meeting of the Board. The

The Cadiz Republican says a protraeted
meeting has been in progress in the N. Z.
Church, CadiE, for the past two weeks.
Some forty-hve or fifty persons have united
with the Church.
The Statesman of Wednesday says that
q meeting of members of the State Board
of Agriculture and Of citizens of Column

Of the Board in the State House, in
reference to the location of a State Aeri-
cultural College at Worthington, in Frank
lin county, and the steps to be taken tose-
cure its location at that point. The prop
made by the citizens of Worth
if the College should be located at

The Hughes Case-The Action Of Gov.

1t is hardly necessary to say that, hold
ing the views which we have not hesitAted
to7express in regard to the r~ightfulness of
the death penalty and the peculiar neoes-
fsity of its strict enforcement at present. we
approve most heartily OF the refusal OF
Governor Cox to commute the sentence of
John W. Hughes. Without going into
the merits of the case at all, il were easy
to justify this refusal. In thepresent con
ditson of the country, We must expect
crime robbery murder everywhere.
Should the Governor pardon Hughes, ct
the outset Of his official career, be would
make 1t necessary for him to retry every
convicted criminal who should come before
him with . petition for pardon. To.
do this would necessitate q neglect Of
other and far more important du-
ties. The Governor has therefore
decided that when q man has been con-
victed, after q fair trial, and no new faots,
changing the complexion Of the case,
have sinoe been discovered, he viii not
go behind the action Of the court and
Jury. To do e would be to abuse the
P~Ardoning Powsr-net fairly and Justly to
use it, re-
But when we consider the case on its
own merits, thu action Of the Governor is
no less clearly right There is no posi-
bic ground for psrdoning John W.
Hughes except the broad one that nobody
should ever be hanged. In most eases
even Of murder in the first degree
there are e~xtenuating points, but
there is nothing, either in the life of the
murderer or in the circumstances Of the
case, to pslliate the murder of Tamzsn
Parsons. The history of Hughes is one of
repeated and continual crime, not only
toward his posr victim, now asleep in a
Bedford graveyard, but toward the
wife and child > for whose fate
he now processes such sorrow. His
ofense was wanton, unproYoked murder,
premeditated and pre-announced. With
his alleged subsequent conversion we have
nothing to do. 1t is something of which
human Law cannot take cogniEsnce. To
do so would be to put an immense pre-
MUM upon hypocrisy. rFHGqT |
Governor Cox has acted in this ease
with that conscientious and scrupulous
devotion to his own duty, and that en-
lightened regard for the public welfare,
which has always characterized him, no
less in his official than in bis private rela-
tionL 81
In closing this article we wish to re-
move the impression, which is quite prev
alent abroad, that there is in this city a
strong feeling of sympathy for Hughes,
and q strong desire for his Communication.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
With a very few exceptions, and these
composed mainly Of the personal friends
of Hughes, popular sentiment in CleYe-
land ~acquiesces in the rightfulness Of the
sentence, and, in the name of public jus
tice and public safety, demands its execu-
ton. A few sentimental ladies may have
beon fascinated by the magnitude of his
the meekness of his manner, as
women are apt to bs-by combined wick
edness and p~oliteness but our enlightened
and intelligent citizens, almost without
exception, recognize the justice and neces-
sity Of his death. 5r
