the objects of this Association, or rather a
lack OF knowledge among the mechanics a.

BEAUFORT, Feb. 4.-Dumer Harget. a
jet-black negro, was executed yesterday
for the murder of Absalom Fisher, ne
gro preacher, on July last. The circum-
stances of the crime were of the most
beastly and inhuman character, and the
murderer himself one of the most super
sutiOus and degraded class of the re-
cently-freed negroes in the South. Up
to his last night on earth he scoffed at
the ministrations of Catholic priest who
attended him, but on the morning of the
execution he suddenly became converted,
and declared he had made peace with
God
This was the first execution in this
county since 1911.

+ CRY MARsHAL.-The industry and e.
deity of our City Marshal, Mr.. Andrew
Gain, arc recognized by every body. He
performs his duty faithfully and consci-
entiously.
We have remarked that everybody
recognizes this fact; but We beg pardon.
The City Council seems TO overlook it.
Under existing ordinances the Marshsis
compensation is fixed at $50 per month.
Nobody pretends TO claim that this sum Is
fair remuneration of the services en-
joined and performed and Mr.. Cain con-
sented TO become candidate for the Office
on the assurance that the salary would be
increased. During his term of service
this increase cannot be made directly, but
it can, and ought to be made, indirectly.
MIR. Cain earns and ought TO be paid 800
per mouth; but will be satisfied we under
stand if his pay is Increased 70 SIS. This
increase can be made by appointing him
TO the position Of Fire Warden, and pay
ing him S25 per month for discharging
the duties OF that Office. Why the bill for
an ordinance TO that effect was defeated,
we cannot say. Certainly not because any
member Of the Council believed that the
Marshals salary was already sufficient to
compensate the active and fearless servi-
COS Of such an officer us Mr.. Cain has
shown himself We are inclined TO think
the measure fell on its own merits, and not
through any desire Of the Council to de-
prive Mr.. Cain of just and equitable
compensation. ...........
We hope the matter will be revived
again Immediately, and that, by the pass
age of an ordinance, justice will be done
one of the most efficient officers that ever
served the city.I

Our LUcK.-4The New Orleans and
Ohio, and the Mississippi river railroads
have been consolidated, and will hereafter
be known a. the Memphis and Paducah
Railroad. Tt is alleged by those who claim
to know, that this consolidation has boon
hastened, il not actually brought about,
by the action Of the Alexander county
court. While the early completion Of the
Cairo and Vincennes railroad seemed to
be assured the Mississippi River railroad
company looked to Cairo as the most de-
sirable point for tho northeastern terminus
of the road. The order Of the county
court, viitating the Alexander county
SUBSCRIPTION to the G. & V. r.. Il. coupled
with the failure of General Burnside,
created the impression that the road
would not be built under its present man
agement, and probably not at all. For
this reason, and the further reason that
Paducah promised connection East via.
the Paducah and Elizabethtown road i'm
mediatcly, and via. the Paducah and Vim
cennek road ultimately--the NJ. II. COM
pany decided upon Psducah as their
northeastern terminus. 'e....-..
