DEATH OF JUDGE DAVIS B. Bon
FoEY.-On Thursday last Judge
Bonfoey died at his home at Mar
shall. His release from prison on
bail of $4,000, we had noticed in
our paper as probable. Immediate
upon the acceptance Of his bond he
was conveyed to his home in Mar
shall. He was sick when he was
released, seriously i'll when he got
home, and died shortly thereafter
A large concourse of citizens attend
ed his remains to the grave, We
arrived in Marshall in time to wit
ness the procession. To father il
is sad to contemplate that cH.~father
and o mcther should in so short a
uime and under such circumstances
depart from the world leaving four
children in this cold, cold, very cold,
and very uncharitable world with
out a protector-with the public
odium resting upon their parent.
May God save us from such fate
The boys are bright and promising
n d trained by mother,
who was one o f the purest and
noblest of woman kind. N on c
knew her but to love her-as a guar
dian spirit may she direct her sons
ia the paths of virtue and morality,
and however much of censure may
be cast upon the father there will
certainly be none who would wish
to depress the offspring. From our
Utmost heart our sympathy goes
out to the fatherless and motherless
boys. We bid them not be depress.
ed but to look upward and travel
on the path of duty and of right.
OF the difficulties between Judge
Bonfoey and Col. Fowler, we have
little knowledge. We do not pro-
pose to argue the question of guilt
We were on friendly terms with
both the parties-and no one regrets
the killing more than we do. With
in sixty days of the time when Col.
Fowler was killed Judge Bonfoey
was called hence without day
With Him who judges of "the quick
and the dead"-we leave the ques-
ton to be determined. The repu-
tation of Judge Bonfoey as public
officer has been assailed by some of
the Press and be has been charged
with being a defaulter and swim
ding the government. Upon this
in the future we may have some
thing to say. We believe that it will
be found upon examination of his
accounts that there is no ground for
the aspersion of his character and
that he was an honest man-Jef-
fers0n lntelliqencer.

ANOTHER "JMPLECUTE." Capt.
