AcprAT AND COOP MAN GONE.-Ex-Gov
ernor William L. Sharkey. Of Mississippi. died
81 pneumonia, in Washington City, on April
Goth. aged about 80 years. Judge Sharkey. was
native Of Tennessee, but settled in Mississippi
in 1903. Admitted to the bar in 1922 he SET
tied at Warrenton, but three years later re-
moved to Vioksburg. where he resided tor a
quarter of century, Shortly after his removal
to vicksburg he was elected to the Legislature
and on taking his seat as member OF the
House Of Representatives of that body, was
elected Speaker, and discharged the duties o'
the position with an ability that won the Nigh
est encomiums from oven his political opponents
On the ADOPTION of the State Constitution IN
1882 he was elected one Of the Judges OF the
High Court of Errors and Appeals, and by
his colleagues on the bench, was chosen Chief
Justice, position which he filed for nearly
nineteen years, earning IN enviable fame as
iurist. second to none of the great lights OF the
lsoal frmamept who have made illustrious the
annals of American Jurisprudence. At the
close of the war he was appointed, by Presl-
dent Johnson, Provisional Governor Of Missis-
sippi, and with his accustomed energy devoted
himself to the work of recOustructing has
State, and successfully brought order out OF
chaos, When the first Legislature assembled
under Johnsons reconstruction policy, Judge
6harkey and James L. Alcorn were elected
United States Senators. but were refused their
seats in that body, and Mississippi was uarep-
resented until the military fop Adeibert Ames
assembled Legislature composed of negroes
and carpet-baggers. and secured his own cleo
ton, when he signed his own certificate Of cleo
ton and was admitted to seat as Senator
from the State of Mississippi A gentleman OF
the old school, Judge Sharkey, was man who
possessed not only the confidence and esteem
of the people of his State, but was universally
beloved b. all who knew him. After he was
refused his seat By the Senate. he abandoned
public life and devoted himself to the practice
of his profession, making his headquarters at
the National Capital Full of years and of
honors, the grave has closed over bis morta! re-
mains, but his memory will ever be cherished
by the people Of his State, who, in the death OF
Judge Sharkey, have suffered an irreparable
loss-a void that none can fill.

BY lady who, for many years, was connected
with the ''Bedford Street MlssiOn,r Of Philadel-
phiA, in chdeavoring to chiistianiEe the wretched
deniEens II that depraved locality, and who lS now
engaged ID our own city, as member OF the above
suIfermgs of the poor, and ministering to the
wants of the sick aud helpless, We are furnished
with the details of suffeTings of many destitute
families 10 her district, and she says that compaT-
atively few people are aware ct the actual iacts
concerning the number who ale ia every Tespecl
worthy Of all that christian and pailanthroplC

Her district is No. 8, comprising the neighbor-
hood of the Old Swede's ChuIo5, and she - as-
sisted In her charitable work by two others, Who
unremtting in their attention TO the destltute
yet, abe informs us that, although they have To-
bored assidiOusly to avert much Of the suffering,
there appears to he an apathy on the part Of some
members Of the Union that is not at all commend
able, but better realization OF the true tacts
will doubtless awaken their sympathies, and cause
them 10 entor vigorously into the good work.
1n q house on Sth street was found widow
with seven children, whose heart was made glad
by the charitable donations Of the committee.
Another woman, with six children, whose hus-
band has been out of employment for scfne time,
was also the recipient Of many OF the comforts
Of life at the same time.
We might enumerate other cases, but the above
will suffice TO show that poverty IN some of its
worst forms has an existence in our midst, and Il
Is only by the aid and assistance of such charfta.

Alabama Rankrupt.

The Montgomery Mail draws the following
gloomy picture: 1t is not easy TO imagine State
in worle condition, financially, than this once
opuent and thriving commonwealth. 1t has
wasted and Wllted in the poisonous breath OF
IRdicalism, like every other Southern community,
only to a somewhat more miserable extent than
some others. Alabama owes a debt it is not pos
uble with her small, and now broken and poor
population, to pay. No Legislature can ever be
brought to the capital that will take the resPonsi-
biIity Of trying to levy and collect tax to meet
in full the direct debt OF the State, TO pay toT a
reasonable school system, and the current expeu-
ses Of the government. The direct debt OF the
State, when correctly Ascertained, will be found
TO amount TO near &25,000, 600 The floating debt
will be found to amount to several other millions.
The States treasury Is empty, and likely to con-
tinne 80. Her credit is at the lowest point. bhe
can not borrow, If at ALL except at ruinous dis
count Tne assets of the State We regard as al
most mill under present eircnmstances. The
planters are nearly all In debt. The few manu-
{ ficturing estlbh b nents in the State are either
ruined or crippled. We believe the southern and
central portions Of Alabama are bankrupt. The
State, as q whole, is bankrupt. 1t is clear that
not only something commensurate vi b our dIfh
culties must be conceived and worked cut, but a
speedily and energetically as possible. II seemi
20 Us that our duty TO ourselves and our Just cred
itors Is 10 let our situation be known honestly and
candIdly, and TO arrange in perfectly good faith
compromise with those who hold the States debts

CAN A NATIONAL BANK BE PUTTNTo BANK
RUPTCY The Chicago Tribune on the 23d
reports the following case as pending, on ar
gument, in that city
A week ago Saturday, J. r. Smith q Co.
filed a petition against the Manufacters' Ma
tional Bank, TO throw it into bankruptcy, al
leging that the bank was then debtor of the
petitioners to the amount of 81 500, on ac-
count Of money deposited, which it had failed
to pay for fourteen days after request for the
same, and char yiBg that the bank had com.
mitted acts of bankruptcy in suspending pay
ment of said deposit, and, also, by giving
numerous preferential assignments to various
persons, by turning over paper and securities
in payment of sundry creditors. The Hsua
rule to show cause was not issued, but was de
ferred until an argument could be heard on thC
question as to whether a national bank could
be put into bankruptcy.

The Cuban nImcuItX.

The anticipations OF an early and easy settle
tnsnt with Spain Of the difRculty growing out OF
the outrage At Santiago de Cuba have not been
verified. A dispatch to the New York Herald on
"Wednesday night stated that our Government
had presented its Ultmatum, and given Spain
week in which to consider it. The time expired
on the 9th, and Minister Sickles had all his pa
Pep packed up lesdy to leave Madrid the next
day il the demands were not complied with. -
The ultimAtum Of our Government is the surren-
der Of the VTginius the restoration Of the survi-
wing members Of the crew, Nnd full indemnity to
the families Of those executed.
The further demand that slavery should be
abolished in CubS, is said was not included.

the time for the ful6llment Of the ultimatum pre-
sentOd to the Spanish government expired to-day
il Is confidently asserted BY Secretary Fish thai
the negotiations towards a peaceable settlement
Of the FiTginiUs complication were making salts

made protest HgAiBst our first demand, asking
the Intervention Of European powers in Suppor
Of its position. The WashinRion CIroRi6le thii
evening announces that the KiTginius had beer
seutlled BY the Spaniards, 10 avoid her being sur
rendered 70 the United States government Will
this was eoupled the statement that Gen. Sickle

Tweed has been called the greatest tibet of the

that he had robbed the ely OF New York Of a

The TRIAL or THE BANK RoBBRRs.-The tn-
tsrest manifested in this tliN exceeds that Of any
case ever tried in our court at New Castle. The
reputation Of these men is Of such ehAractsr that
the authorities Of the town have become greatly
alarmed, and patrols are employed every night
FearS have been expressed that coniederates oi
the gang OF thieves, With whom the men on trial
aEs said 10 be connected, extending all over the
country, will attempt 70 release them from the
Jail % APprehensiVe OF this have the authorities
become that the officers about tho court room
have been doublOd, and every avenue TO escape
during the trial daily guarded. These precautions
we're taken because Of the large number Of stran'
gss that invaded the court room; and for fear
coaisderstes, In case OF . rush being made for the
door By the prisoners, would render them aid by
Obstructing the officers. II is not believed the
men could escape; but it is believed they have
the audacity 10 attempt il, and thus cause much
trouble. Citizens Of the town are fearful that
the deSperadocS in league with tie prisoners will
not stop ct setting se TO property in various pla-
Css, hoping that the eKcitement attendant upon
sxtinguishIng the hsmes would assist Them II
Their efforts TO RELEASE the prisoners. II is sup
posed, and has been asserted, that the four mer
under trial ere all connected with the gang o
desperate characters whose acts have been shield
ed by men in authority in about the State HOUSE
Rev, in Philadelphia.
