Mississippi Central Railroad Terrible
Disaster Prevented.

The Water Valley Central of the seventh
instant says:
From the number of accidents occurring
from time to time in the vicinity Of Beatty 5
cut on the Mississippi Central railroad. five
miles north Of Walden, Colonel E. d. Frost
was induced to put a detective on duty to
watch and see if the fend or fiends who
were so maliciously attempting to murder
innocent passengers and to rob and plumber
during the confusion incident to railroad
disaster, could not be brought to justice
The detective set about the work in a
methOdical and business-lke manner, and
last Wednesday came upon three villains,
who were in the very act of removing a
rail from the track He Immediately bore
down upon them, and attempted to secure
the trio, but two of the death deserving
scoundrels made good their escape, but the
third One-a young man by the name of
Beatty-respectabiy connected and of an
hi herto irreproachable character, was cap
tured. He was taken before q magistrates
court at Walden, and put on trial for the
dabolical act, and, strange to say, was re.
leased in a bond Of $1,000 Surely the tiend-
ish and malicious attempt to take the lives
Of so many innocent fellow beings, ought to
have required large bail, If bailable at all.
We are in favor of law and order and
deprecate mob violence under all ordinary |
circumstances, but we regard an act of this |
kind as extraordinary and without single |
eXtenuating plea, and if clearly guilty Of |
the foul act, deserves to be hung higher |
than Hannah, instead Of being turned loose |
on such insignificant bail. We never heard |
of the young man before and of course can |
have no personal spite to crafty, but if the
facts as reported to us be correet-and we |
have no reason to doubt them-he richly
deserves the execration of mankind and the
extreme penalty Of the law.
No cause can be assigned for the vii
famous act, except to rob the terrified pas
sengers in the confusion and slaughter that
would have .ensued had the train run into
TIE break, as they had not even the misera-
Die subterfuge of pique against the COM
Dany, which would be a miserable excuse
.or the damnable act 1t is to be hoped
hat the two scoundrels that made their es-
ape may vet be apprehended and brought
. justice, but if they, too, are allowed to
70 tree on straw bail, justice will be cheated
7, !, 4e Ill legitimate demands. 1t is reported
=, GaI 1ne man man admitted to bail has abscond-
Known long before the trial.

Massachusetts Supreme Court-Inrerest-
ing Criminal Decisions.

The Boston Transcript Of recent date
says:
1t has been decided BY the Supreme
Court that party having found a horse
astray upon his own land, and took posses
sion of it and was indicted for larceny, that
if the intention Of eoncealing it till the
owner should offer reward for its return
and then returning it on taking the reward,
or If with the intention of inducing the
owner to sell it astray so that he could pur-
chase it for less than its fair price, then he
was guilty of larceny.
The court has also decided that efecting
an entrance into building through win
dow, by lifting the sash, which lacks from
a quarter Of an inch to an inch of being
closed, is not such breaking and entering
as constitutes burglary. The decision Is
based upon the old English authorities.
which require that house should b .'se-
cured IN the ordinary way, so that by the
carelessness Of the owner in leaving the
door or window open, the party accused "
burglary be not tempted to enter"

Important Suit in Mississippi.
The Jackson Pilot of Yesterday saws;

The Jackson Pilot of yesterday says:
A very important State case is being
heard this week before Judge Brown. of the
Circuit Court. It is popularity known as the
Chickasaw school fund suit, and the facts
connected with it are briefly somewhat as
follows: Some time before the war, the
State Of Mississippi loaned to the New Or
leans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad
Company the sum Of 100000, the same be-
ing in silver coin, taken from a special State
fund, denominated the Chickasaw school
fund, The loan bore eight per cent interest
which would make the demand present total
about 100000, more or less. 1t also loaned
the same corporation $4,000 of the three
per cent fund, it also bearing eight per cent
interest. The representatives of the rail
road having rendered the State, in Iiouida-
ton of this debt, State indebtedness-or
what is supposed to represent such indebt-
Union Bank bonds. the State. Of
course, demurred, and refused to receive it.
The question now before Judge Brown is
important to the interests of the State We
understand that the arguments of counsel
for and against, have been very able and
and that the court has the sub
ect now under advisement We shall en-
leavOr to give the decision as soon as rem
1ered.

Monetary Commercial,
MONETARY.


OFFICE OF THE DAILY REPUBLICAN,
WEDNESDAY. EVENING, September IL, 1872.
While there is hardly any pressure in the
money market, deposit lines show mate
rial decline compared with last year, and
the banks have consequently more re-
stricted limit for discounts. In fact, were
the demand very active. might be com,
PEELED to refuse even unexceptionable sig
natures, but there is only moderate
amount of business paper making, and the
regular demand is therefore not very active.
Thecal1 for currency to remit to the coun-
try continues, as well as the demand to
meet Northern and Western drafts. We
hear of no currency having been ordered
out from New York. The Southern Express
charges So p $1,000, or $40 p cent, which
covers all risks, except fire and water, and
So y $1,000 additional for full insurance. In
connection with this matter it must not be
overlooked that there is at present strong
drain of currency from New York to the
West. The movement on the street is not very
active, and we notice little or no variation in
rates, though the market appears to work a
shade closer. We continue to quote first
class paper at 90I0 p cent y annum;
Al at 10; less desirable names not second
grade at IL: second grade at -; first class

The Ice Monopoly,

The supply of Northern ice being nearly

within few days doubled the price of that
product. This is taking mean advantage
