To tbe mercy Of the court.

TO the mercy OF the court. ~
Under all these facts and considerations
-afser mature reflection, | cannot bring
my mind to the conclusioa that the further
vintlication of the law. or tie demands oil
public justice require me to inffkf the igno-
minious punishment of imprisonment.
| shall therefore inflict finc,-but OF
such an amount as will show that the
Court is not msensible of the violation OF
public peace. or of the necessity ofpropcr-
ly vindicating the majesty of the law.
The considerations have alluded to seem
plainly to require of me. in the exercise OF
the discretion given me. TO temper justice
with mercy.
The sentence is. tlrat tho prison.r shall
pay fine 10 tic use of the State OF .fre
hundred dollars.

Death of Judge narrfs.

In the death of Judge VIM. l.. Harris,
Thursday evening, the community suf-
fers the loss of one of its greatest and
best men, and the bar one OF its aoiest
and chief ornaments. Born in Georgia,
and removing some thirty years ago to
Mississippi, he has occupied many posi-
tions of the highest responsibility and
honor, and was beloved by the people OF
his adopted State as hardly any other
man was. he had but lately removed to
this city. and was in his 6lst year at the
time ofhis death. About the time of the
commencement Of the war, and being
then one of the judges of the High Court
of Apsesls of Mississippi, he was offered
by Mr.. Buchanan the seat on the bench
of the United States Supreme Court va
Gated By the death of Judge Daniel
But then, heartily sympaihizing with

no position Of honor could move him.
and. with a noblen,ss Of character pecu-
liarIy bis own, be declined to accept the
position, and said to bis adopted State
"Tby people shall Re my people and thy
God my God" For lofty private integ-
ritz. amiabiliiy, charity and unselfss
ness, as well as for great abilities, worth
and patriotism, he was eminently dis
,ipguished, and beyond the reach Of com
mon euloey. One more worthy Of imi
tasion for his virtues as a model man bs'
not lived among rs. And We mourn an
equally great and good man, gone to bis
rest There is not one We could not Is

A special to the Ardlanche states that
the papers will to-day contain a letter
from Senator Fowler to ex-senator Foote
on the franchise question. Fowler will
take strong ground for enfrsnchisement
throughout the South, aud insist on
equal rights of citizens to suffrage as the
Radical policy. He says the franchise
law of the State was demanded when
passed, but was intended to be transient.
That the practical question has now come
for breaking down all barriers to univer-
sal suffrage, that public opinion is
against il, and that Tsppessee and Mis-
souri cannot long withstand the force OF
that power. He compliments General
Grants wisdom, nagnanimity and judg-
ment Of men, and thinks lie tsvors uni.
yerssl suffrage, is national in feeling, and
will select as Cabinet officers only such
as are so.
