FAMILY Perturbation. Todd Rob-
inson, one Of the most distinguished law
yers iu California and at one time Judge
Of the Supreme Court, died suddenly at a
farm house where he was stopping on a
hunting excursion, short time since.
The following week his brother-in-law,
Parker Crittendcn, was shot by Mrs. Fair,
on the Oakland ferry-boat. Now VIC learn,
by telegraph, that Crittcnden Robinson,
son Of the first and nephew of the last
named gentlemen, on the first of January
shot aud dangerously wounded c. A.
Fleuelling, at Gilroy, California. The
difficulty arose from charge of embezzle-
ment which Fleuclling had entered against
Robinson, as railroad agent. No young
man in the State had hitherto enjoyed
better reputation for industry and sterling
integrity. 1t is most remarkable combi-
nation Of circumstances which in so short
a time involved two families of the faircst
character and highest social position in
such succession Of calamities.

reached their zenith, forward the decline.
In this Capital their infamies culminat-
ed, and here the people have given them
the worst terrible blow, which, faithfully
followed up in other localities and in next

oblivion their crimes merit. A fouler pack
never infested any municipality. A more
terrible rebuke has seldom been bestowed.
Let the people take heart. What has been
done in Little Rock can be done Though

The Republican, Senator Clayton's organ,

rsi Special 70 the Cincinnati Enquirer.
MEMPHIS, Nov. Ton Friday last two
negroes quarreled at the stole of Bounce
Wynn, at Austin, Tunica county, Mississip-
pi, and were ordered by the proprietor to
leave and finish the quarrel outside. This
they refused to do, and dared Wynn to
eject them. He did so, and soon after one
of them returned, and, making motion as
tito draw pistol, was shot dead in his tracks
by Wynn, who subsequently delivered him:
self to the authorities, and was placed in
jail and heavily ironed.
Crowds of Infatuated negroes surround
ed the jail and swore they would take him
out and lynch him. The Sheriff, who is a
Radical, placed guard around the jail; but
fears the negroes will carry their threats in
to execution. Since the Imprisonment of
Wynn number of negroes have been on
guard around the prison, evidently watch
ing in order to carry out some bad purpose.
To-day being election day in Mississippi
hundreds of negroes will crowd in Austin,
and it is feared the threats to lynch the
prisoner will be carried out. A letter from
Wynn last evening expresses his belief that
the negroes will hang him to-day unless
some protection reaches him.

SUBORDINATE OFFICIALS MUST NOT
RECEIVE PRESENTS.

From the Washington Patriot, Nov. 8.
The propensity of President Grant for
accepting all sorts of presents, from houses,
lands and horses, down to Seneca stone
stock and bull pups, is familiar to every cit
izen of these United States. Grant will
take anything he can get, and
his bad example has demoralized
the public service and made present
takers of subordinate officials. But it seems
that while the President of the United
States, who gets a salary of $4,000 year
and house TO live in, may take all the
gifts politicians offer, poor letter-carrier,
who travels through our streets in all
weathers, and who gets salary of $500
year, may not accept of donations which
those he serves would freely give. In Or
der to guard against this, the Postmaster
General yesterday issued the following or
der:
PORTOFFICE DEPARTMENT, WASHING
TON, ID. c., Nov. 2, 1S71.-Complaints
having been received that the letter carriers
and several of the free delivery officers so
lcit donations by means of New Years
addresses, and this practice being consid-
cred prejudicial to the service and deroga-
tory to the respect carriers should at all
times command, it is therefore ordered that
the issuing of any address or substitute
therefor by letter carriers, intended or cal
culated to induce the public to make them
donations, or the soliciting of presents by
any means whatever, be forbidden.
j. A. CREswELL,
Postmaster General.
If the pu bic choose to make presents to
the subordinates who do their duty faith
fully we do not see why a Cabinet officer
should interfere. These letter-carriers are
far more useful in their sphere than Grant
is in his. They certainly attend more faith
fulls to the public business than the Presi-
dent does.
