HuDsoS FORCED TO YIELD.-Hudson
has been forced to yield to the law. For
weeks past he did all in his power to
keep Curry and his understrappers in
Office, but yesterday he gave notice that
none but General Wright should be
recognized as Sheriff; that his deputies
should be obeyed; and that the orders of
Curry were null and void The matter
arose in the Criminal Court upon the
refusal of Francis and Cullen, two of
Curry jailers, to give to Sheriff Wright S
deputy some prisoners ordered up for
trial by Judge Hudson. The jailers
we're cited to appear for contempt of
court, but Hudson, instead of fning
them, gave them this advice: General
Wright and deputies have been recog-
nized as officers of this court This fact
must have been known to Colonel Curry
and has deputies. The court will impose
no fine at present upon the defendants.
The court could make an order upon the
taller to turn over the jail and prisoners
10 General Wright, but this is not neces-
sary. This proceeding is notice to all
that General Wright is recognized by
this court as Sheriff The only order
the court can make at present is the
usual verbal one to bring out prisoners
This proceeding is notice to all,
and is sufficient notice to Colonel
Curry and his deputies that Cen
eral Wright is Sheriff. Hudson
could have prevented considerable
trouble if he had in the first instance,
like the other judges, recognized Gen.
Wright as the legal Sheriff. Why don't
he make an order upon the jailer to turn
over the jail and prisoners to Sheriff
Wright? He ought to know by this time
that it is necessary to do so. The county
cannot much longer suffer the annoyance
of such Judge as Hudson on the bench.
The next election will hash him.

man. Ii is stated that servant Of
Raleigh's brought him tankard of ale
and a nutmeg into his study, while the
scholar was engaged in reading book
and smoking a pipe The servant was
so frightened at seeing smoke issuing
from his masters mouth that he threw
the tankard Of ale into his face to extin-
guish the fire, and then skedaddled down
stairs to alarm the household, screaming
st the top of his voice that his master
was on fire and would be burned to ashes
before anybody could save him No

TIE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

This document, credited 10 Grant. was
read to Congress at its opening on Mon.
day last. and Published in the papers of
Tuesday. 1t is rather lengthy. We
cannot say the Message contains much
originality, it being made up, III great
measure, with bare assertions with which
the people are very familiar. We are
forcibly struck with that portion Of the
Message which refers to the Southern
States, wherein Grant says "the verdict
Of the people has been reversed in some
Of the states lately in rebellion, by vio-
lence and intimidation" This is certain
ly true in one sense for instance, South
Carolina, where the negroes carried the
state by a large majority, thus proving
that 1.-The verdict of the people had been
reversed What caused this result :?
A radical Congress enfrauchised the ne
gro and DISTINGUISHED the white man
The President and the Administration are
welcome to all the glory, caused by this
reyersion. On the other band, we ask the
President to look for q moment at the
verdict Of the people in many Of the
states which held their elections in Octo-
Der last This verdict was certainly not
very complimentary to the President or
his administration. A few more such
such yerdiclS will result in q change Of
parties at the White House.
In reading the Message, we fail to see
anything calculated TO gladden. tho hearts
Of q tax.ridden people. Not word from
Grnnt in relation to amnesty, thus pro-
wing that the Administration, like the
radical party Of Wes Nirginin, foolishly
expects to gain lease of power BY pur-
rcinr EroscriPtirc course. - IItN3wy
