Last weeks issue OF the jackson
County Ntps contains very plaintive
and touching appeal from an old citi>
zen who has been financially ruined by
becoming one Of the bondsmen of de-
linquent Sheriff. He proposes 10 60
among bis old friends IN the county
and solicit their aid in discharging his
portion OF the Sheriff's Indebtedness to
the State, aud he says that without re-
lief he will be compelled in bis old age
to seek refuge in the alms-house Of the
county. The case seems one Of pecu-
liar hardship, and We hope that the
sufferer may secure the relief that he
30 sorely needs.
The collection OF taxes in Jackson
county seems to have been Particular
ly difficult ever since the formation OF
the State. The Auditors report shows
that for almost every year since 1861
the successive SheriHfs Of that county
are delinquent. License taxes for 1851
2 and 3, amounting to 81, PSI, and
other assessments for 1861 and so,
amounting TO 1859 As, are still due.
For 1864, the sum of s474 40 is due
for '65, $685. for '6S, s3,293 70; for
50, 9l,249 %, and for 70, 1852 IL.
There is thus due FROM delinquent Sher-
ifs in the county Of Jackson the snug
sum Of sl6,27s Oh, not reckoning the
interest that has accrued. 'ras 10 DOB
For the loss OF this money TO the
State, the former Radical administra.
ton is in a great degree responsible.
Every one: Of these delinquent Shers
ifs was a member Of the party Of 10y
atty and "grsat moral ideas" The
State officers were Of the same ilk and
instead OF demanding aud compelling
prompt settlement when settlement
might have been easily made II suits'
bic show Of frmness had been 1msni-
tested, they permitted these accounts to
remain open year after year. one Rad
ical Sheriff after another applied to
private uses the public money that
came into his hands, aud nobody was
compelled to pay up. When the Dem
ocratic party came into power there
was the turning over Of new leaf in
relation to the delinquent officials.
Prompt and vigorous efforts were
made and are, still being put forth to
collect from the responsible parties the
various sums due to the State. The
petition of the old gentleman in Jack
SON county alluded to above Is one Of
the consequences Of this determination
to collect, anditis by no means inprob-
able that if the settlement had been
urged ct the time the delinquency CO.

Sequel.

The readers CT your excellent paper will re-.
member that during the month of August
last Ebb West, oolored man OF excellent
character, was fatally stabbed by bis son-ln-
law, Sam Brown, also colored. The deed
was done In this county, near the store of q
Mr.. Mannheim, which Is situated on the west
side OF Great Peedee River, and not very far
from EHingham Depot. Sam was into1lcat-
ed, and was abusing another colored man
who happened to be at the store, when Ebb
reproved and sought to quiet him. This In
reference appeared TO Incense Sam, and.
Without o word Of warning, he buried his
knife in the body Of poor Ebo. Ebb died In a
the man with whom he had been quarrelllHg,
but failing In this he ran off to his home,
where lie was found next morning by hls wife.
On being told by her of the fatal deed, he pro-
fessed 10 be profoundly Ignorant of having
committed the crime, but took care to make
his escape TO North Carolina. There he was
recognized, arrested and brought back, and
at the October term OF the Court OF General
Sessions for this county was tried, found
guilty OF murder, and sentenced TO be hung
on the Gath day January, 1873.
Yesterday, about noon, he was brought
from his cell to the gallows, which had been
erected In the iall-yard. He walked composed
ly and seemed TO De perfectly resigned to hls
fate All ready to meet IL bravely. Sheriff
Berry read his warrant and then told Fam II
he wished 10 say anything be could do So.
Sum hrst requested colored minister, named
Edwards, to pray for him, and then spoke
to the large crowd around him for some
minutes. He never alluded TO the crime he
had committed, save In general terms, but
confined himself TO q statement OF his
preparation ior. and hopes In, eternity.
The minister was requested to say some
thing by way of warning to others, and
Sam again spoke. The sheriff had waited
patiently until near one O'CLOCK, when ne
bade the prisoner goodbye, and, after tying
his hands and adjusting the rope, he drew the
black cap over his head. Not muscle In the
prisoner a frame seemed to move, but he stood
as steadfast as O rock. A moment after, the
sheriff stepped back, the prop was stricken
away, the doors fell, and with q heavy thud
Sam Browns body was dangling In air. he
fell full six feet and was instantly kllled-not
making single struggle.
There seemed but lutte sympathy felt for
poor Sam by The crowd, aud yet we think ne
deserved 1t, for the deed was certainly done
while he was under the Influence OF liquor
True, ne was said to be bad man, yet his
character should not have entered into the
consideration of this Case. The jury rightly
found him guilty, but We think many crimi-
malls, more guilty than poor, friendless Sam
Brown. have escaped the Judgment of the
law. May our county long be spared such an
other day as was yesterday. JUYENH.

Caught.

The Massachusetts Samson who has made
sport for the Phistines for all these weeks
and months, has recovered his strength with
his memory. Yesterday, putting bis arms
around Colfax, Garfield, Dawes, Wilson, ALL
SOD, Kelley, scoaeld and Bingham, pillars In
the Republican temple of Dagon, he tumbled
the whole edihce of lalsehood and corruption
to ruins. There were premonitions OF 1t on
Monday, wheu be began TO be jocular about
sending money 10 Indiana, 'where 1t would
do us most good" Yesterday he unbosomed
himself. Tired of being made the scapegoat
of these men's eins, of seeing their virtuous
airs and listening 10 their falee statements,
and goaded to it by their ingraIitude after
he had saved the party and the Presidential
election, he gave them fair notice that he
had done lying and they must stand from
under.
And 30 there's the testimony. The very
men who, with show OF indignation, last
summer denied any knowledge OF or connec.
ton with the Credit Mobiller are proven to
have iied-not by the unsupported testimony
of Mr.. Oakes Ames, but by the record EVIL
dence, the checks and receipts, and written
memoranda, about which there can be no
mistake and which cannot be controverted.
Every one of them is proven to have held
stock in the Credit Mobiier, and to have re-
ceved each his share of Its enormous divi-
dends. Even though the transaction had not
worn the badge of fraud from the outset In
being held by Oakes Ames in trust for men
who were ashamed or afraid to appear as
stockholders. the eliminated members are
debarred from pleading that they were inno-
cent of evil intention by the eagerness With
which they washed their hands Of 1t last sum-
mer. That of itself was confession that II was
dishonorable and corrupt. They stand before
the country now branded with falsehood and
covered with disgrace. The very least that
Congress can do Is 10 expel them.
"Discreditablen and Disastrous.
From the New York Tribune-EdtorlaLl
The whole evidence as 1t stands Is discred-
table and disastrous. There is something
more than Misunderstanding here. II Mr.
Ames paid dividend oil $1,000, as he says he
did, to Mr.. Colfax, 1t is hardly credible that
that gentleman could have 80 soon forgotten
he ever received It. On the other hand, II
Mr.. Ames did not pay that amount, his clear
and positive statement that he did is false
hood; for no respectfully correct business man
could commit such an enormous blunder.
rhe case about Mr.. Colfax is made more
striking by the eXacrDess of the figures which
occur in what Mr.. Ames calls an Interest ac-
count Mr.. Colfax says $500 were paid; Mr..
Ames. with business-like particularly, says
1884 72 were paid. and paid as Interest on the
purchase money of Mr.. Collax's stock. We leave
this irreconcilaDle difference In the statements
of Messrs. Ames and ColfaX with the single re-
mark that Mr.. ColfaX seems to be defendant
In the case, teslltying In his own behalf, and
Mr.. Ames appears an unwilling witness,
without Interest In the conviction ot any man.
