Young Jones, who was distinguished for
his amiable disposition and quiet demean-
or, was speaking to one of his fathers old
servants on the day of election, when the
Commissioner of Registration and the
Deputy Sheriff of the county, both Radl-
calls of the most virulent and proscrlptlve
type, and both under the influence Of IL
quor approached and opened converse
ton with the negro. Young Jones told
the colored boy to pay no attention to the
Commissioner, whose name was Wyatt,
that " he was Radical" At this the De-
putty Sheriff, also named Jones, told Wyatt
to shoot him. Wyatt instantly drew his
pistol and fred at Jones and missed him,
and as the latter turned his head towards
Wyatt the Deputy Sheriff drew a pistol

PUBLIC MEETING IN HEREFORD. g.
largely attended public meeting in Hert
ford county, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted by committee, of
which the Hon. W. n. H. Smith was chair
man:
We the citizens of Hartford, assembled
at Winton, learning with regret the present
financial condition of our State, deem it
the duty incumbent on all citizens, with
out regard to present or past political as
sociations, to express our disapprobatlon
of the prodigate and wasteful expenditures
of the present General Assembly, there
fore,
IcesolUed, That the present high taxes are rot
in accordance with state ofpeace, and that they
have ruinous effect on the energies Of an in
dustriOus people.
ResolGed That the very large appropriations by
the present Legislature to carry into effect such
soon after the close of the war between the
States was impolitic and IN just
ReSOlUed, That while we are IN favor OF hO-
eral system Of internal improvements at the pro-
per time, we do condemn as unWise and unneces'
sary the issuing of such q large amount OF State
bonds to irresponsible parties.
ReSOl0ed, We are OF an opinion that our bonos
have been frauduently used and that there
ought to be thorough Investigation into the
facts thereof.
RESOLVED, We consider the old State debt valid
and ought to be paid
ResolUed, We are utterly opposed to the sus-
pension of the writ of h0beds corpus as being
contrary alike to the spirit and letter of organic
law and uncalled for by any exgency IN our az
fairs.

passenger that he was going to
Florida to sink the balance of the
Sc, 100000 of State bonds that they
were so low now that it made but little
difference what became of them. This
stake holder of the State was as much
looked at as the elephant or educated hog
in the circus. Men and boys went in the
smoking car to look ct him. State bonds
are so low shat no man attempted to ar
rest him though $50, 900 in that once good
currency is offered for him. It is all right
as to Littlefeld; all the shame is on Gov

such a man by making him State printer,
