Special 20 the Appeal
JACKSON, March 2S.-The following
acts have gone to the governor for ap-
proval The act relating to the Chick
asaw school fund. This fund has been
loaned out i'm several counties,
whereby q heavy school tax has been
imposed in consequence. Counties en-
titled to the fund are required by the bill
to collect the funds so loaned and dis
bursed for the maintenance of public
schools. IL authorizes the county su-
perintendent of public education to
prosecute to final judgment any county
treasurer neglecting compliance with
the act. Also, bill to prevent traudu-
lent removal or sale of mOrtgaged pro-
perty. The senate passed salary bill,
with amendments, which the house will
doubtless concur in. 1t also passed
bill reducing by two the number of cir
elIit Judges in the State. The SUPPOSE
ton is that half a dozen supplemental
bills will follow, which will provide
for two poor unfortunates which the
bill displaces, rendering the bill
in the matter of retrenchment bogus.
Lieutenant-G Bennett has
supplemental temperance bill to intro
duce similar In its provisions to the pro-
hibitory bills OF Maine and Massa-
chusetts. The house spent day on the
railroad bill. 1t allows the roads men-
toned in yesterdays dispatch to pay the
principal of every Indebtedness in five
equal annual installments; the interest
Of eight per cent. to be payable semi
annually, beginning six months after
the passage of the bill. 1t allows, if the
payments he made as provided, that all
interest now due to be remitted to the
companies. The payment must be made
in warrants issued subsequent to Janu-
ary 1, 1870, or certificates of
Indebtedness, OF national currency.
1t authorizes the governor to
settle with the companies, and pay all
funds collected TO the treasurer; and
holds in allegiance any and all suits now
Tsending against the companies, and all
suits continued on the docket, any Judg-
memt process now had remaining unim-
paired until the provisions of the act
are complied with. In view of the fact
that the debt has been paid once, there
was but little opposition, but the Opposi-
tion worked strong, and Mr.. Grace
attempted the introduction of little
substitute, but was thunderstruck and
the house surprised by the exhibition Of
a large placard with the words "too
thin" thereon displayed prominently in
1he hail. Amidst shouts and screams !
tlie vote was taken, and the bill passed

BOSTON, March 2s.-Iu the case of
Henry Hogan, of the striking horse
shOers, for threatening and assaulting
Peter Pinkington for going to work in
the Horseshoe railroad company's
shops, Judge Parmenter to-day decided
that the offense came within the statute
in relation to compelling persons to do
acts against their viii by threats, the
punishment for which is imprisonment
in the State prison not exceeding ten
years, or by fine not exceeding five thou
sand dollars, or by both Imprisonment
and fine. In reviewing the matter
Judge Parmenter said the acts alleged
and proved in this case are peculiarly
offensive to the free principles which
prevail in this country, and if such prac-
tees should enjoy impunity, they would
lead to the establishment of a tyranny
by irresponsible persons over labor and
mechanical business which would be
extremely injurious to both. The Judge
held Hogan in sixteen hundred dollars
bail, on both complaints, for trial at the
superior court.

LITTLE Rock, March 2S.-The senate
referred several bills TO committees and
agreed to the house amendments on the
supervisors bill. The bill creating Cool
idge county was called up and indefin-
itely postponed. Helena can now sleep
s0mdly. The house was unusually sue
.cessfcl to-day. The penitentiary bill was
called ur, and Mr.. McGehee moved the
rejection of the entire bill. Mr.. Thrower
was astonished that members should
advocate such an unfortunate step, look
ing TO a continuance of gigantic frauds
and the expenditure OF moneys filched
from bankrupted people. The Republi-
cans differed as to the penitentiary COM
anissioners. The Democrats expressed
confidence IN the governor, and many
were disposed to make him sole com
missioner, as they thought he would act
honestly aud wisely. The morning
was consumed in the consideration of
9, great number of amendments, and
the evening session was pregnant of good
results. The bill creating Howard coun-
". from SEWER, Pike, Hampstead aud
Polk, was amen ded, and set for to-
morrow. The bi!l creating Garland

LOUISVILLE, March 2S.-The negro,
Thomas Smith, was hung to- day for
killing Joseph Bradon, in May, 1871,
twelve miles below the city. He per-
sisted in asserting his innocence even in
prayers on the scaffold until told to take
the stand under the trap, when he gave
way and confessed his guilt. The exc
cution took place in the open commons
south of the city. There were probably
seven thousand people present. The
neck was dislocated by the fall of thirty
inches. He did not struggle much, and
the convulsiYe movements ceased in
four minutes; death ensued in six min
utes, and the body was cut down at the
end of twenty minutes. Seminal phe-
nomenOn observed as usual, but
his tongue did not prOtrude beyond his
teeth. Smith was a desperate character,
and the murder was cold-blOoded and
for robbery, though the murderer got
but a small amount. The murdered
mans widow was at the execution in a
carriage, and witnessed the entire scene.

ON the sOaffold, prayed incoherently,

here for three years.

MY OLD BEAU.

The landlady Of a boarding house on
Fifth rect, not far from Plum, afew days
ago, suddenly opened the door of one Of the
married lady boarders, and found that lady
in rather a curious position. Stting in a
chair was a well dressed young man
smoking cigar. His Fnees was stretched
apart, and, kneeling on the floor, With one
elbow on each of his knees, and, looking
laughiugy up into his face, was the mar
ried lady bosrder. The landlady stsm-
mered, "Excuse me, l thought, Laura, that
you were alone." She closed the door, and
was about to go down stairs, when Laura
came out and said, "Y0u1l excuse me,
please, but you know Will is an old friend
of the family. He was my beau before L
was married to Charley, and as Charley is
not likely TO live long, when he
dis l am going to marry Will"
"Oh, yes, that's all right" said
the irate landlady, ''but l can't have such
goings on under my roof. You'll have to
get out Of here" And so the landlady in
formed "Cbarley," (who is jeweler work.
ing on Fourth street, not far from Walnut)
when he came home. Bur .he jeweler re-
fused TO move, and the landlady applied to
a Justice of the Peace for advice in the mat
ter, hearing which Charley and Laura will
pack up and leave. Whether "Will" in
tends to wait is what puzzles the friends Of
the family Cincinnati Enquirer.
