What q Mockery!'r

Gen. Sherman, by direction of
the President, telegrsphed TO Gen.
McEnery at New Orleans not to
interfere with the STATE Govern
ment, and the New Y-Ik Herald
exclaims
What q mockeD! After hav-
ing destroyed the State govern
ment by sustaining the arbitrary
and improper action Of bitler,
partisan federal Judge, and there
by placing in pcwer rival faction
that was not legally declared TO bc
elected, the administration directs
that there shall be no interference
with the local authorities. kel-
logg and his fellow usurpers have
been established in power, and,
OF course, there is no wish to in
teriere with them. They are of
the administration party, and the
other having been suppressed, the
President may well say, do not
interfere with the State govern
ment." But does any one sup
pose this pretended reg trd for the
right of local State government,
after the legally declared State
government Of Louisiana has been
squelched by federal power, will
bind the American people ? Well,
let US have peace if we cannot have
what is right. Louisiana is a.
gain conquered, though the Pres
ident says she has been rebabila-
ted in her political rights. Which
will be the next State7 The en-
fnrcement act is very comprebcn-
siye and covers all the States.

a spot almost as terrible as
the prophets valley of dry bones
lies just north Of the old Nor
mon road to California, a region
thirty-six miles long by thirty
broad, and surrounded, except
at two other points, by inacces-
sible mountains. 1t is totally
devoid Of water and vegetation,
and the shadow of bird or wild
beast never darkens its white,
glaring sands. The Kansas Pa
cific Railroad engineers discoy-
cred it, and also some papers
which show the fate Of the
Montgomery train, which came
south from Salt Lake in 1850,
guided by a Mormon. When
near Deaths Valley they came
to the conc lusion that tie Nor
mon knew nothing about the
country, 50 they appointed one
Of their number leader and
broke off from the party. The
leader turned due west; so with
the people and wagons and
flocks he Travelled three days,
and then descended into the
bread valley, whose treacherous
mirage promised water.
They cached the center, but
only the white sands, bounded
by scorching peaks, met their
gaze. Around the valley they
wandered, and one by one the
men died, and the painting fiocks
stretched themselves in death
under the sun. The children,
crying for water, died at their
mothers breasts, and with swol-
len tongues and burning vitals
the mothers followed. Wagon
after wagon was abandoned, and
strong men tottered and died.
After a weeks wandering a
dozen survivors found some
water in a hollow of a rock in
the mountain. 1t lasted but a
short time, when all Perished
but two, who escaped out of
the valley and followed the trail
of their former companions.
Eighty-seven families with hun
dreds Of animals, perished there;
the wagons still stand complete,
and iron-work and tires are
bright and the shriveled skele-
tons lay side by side.

Divorces for Limited
Periods.

The BIZ ghamton Republican
recalls to mind instances of di-
vorces for limited periods in New
York, the statute reading: "a sep
aration from bed and board forever
or + T Il limited time may be de.
creed by the Supreme Court OH
the complaint OF married wo-
man." The Republican says: "a
few years ago Judge Balcom, act,
ing under this statute, at a Special
Term Of the Supreme Court in
Iioga County, made IA decree in a
divorce suit that the husband and
wife should live separate for two
years, the wife to have the custody
of their only enid IN the mean
time. He advised them to con-
slider the matter as husband ard
wife. He thought Il separation
during two IeaIs would satisfy the
husband the best thing he could
do would be IT, treat his wife kind
J. and properly, and not cruelty
and inhumanly. The report is
th,t before The end OF the two years
the old love between this couple
was revived aud they forgaye each
other, and are now living together
happily and rs lovingly as they
did during their honeymoon.
Judge Balcom informs us, while
practicins law he obtained an abSc-
lutte divorce for wife from her
husband, but that they remarked
each other within ninety days
nom the time the wife obtained
her divorce, and thereafter lived
happily as husband and wife many
years, until the wife died; also, that
the husband became his personal
friend, and 50 remains"

A Detectives Story.

! A little episode in the life Of
EDetectiye Becker, Of Newark,
reads like a novel writer's story.
Mr.. Becker was ordered to Fort
Wayne some time ago to work
up a counterleiting gang. AT
ter much trouble he succeeded
in getting admitted to the gang
under the name of 'EDuteh Jim"
The Newark Courier tells tic
rest:
Their headquarters was in'oHe
of the cemeteries, where they
met nightly ,and a partiallyopen-
ed grave in an obscure part OF
the battle-ground contained the
spoils of not only the result Of
the counterfeiting, but of a num-
Der of bold robberies committed
by the gang. The detective
worked his cases well, and was
astonished to find that several
of the gang were. well known
citizens and members Of church
es. Had the gang once suspect
&c. 1.-The true character of Dutch
Jim" that shrewd and cunning
fellows life would have been
the forfeit. Different ones Of
the gang were arrested, and al
ways 'Dutch jim" was one of
the party ''copped, but he man
aged always by the ''skin CT
his teeth" apparently to be re-
leased. At last the final blow
arrest of the five
leaders, and Dutch Jim" was
one. They were on their way
to commit q burglary in a neigh
boring town. Becker had tele-
Government officers TO
be ready, and when the train
reached the depot, the car which
the burglars occupiedwas board
ed by dozen officers A fear
full fight occurred, and as IL was
not yet time for dutch Jim"
to be publicly known he entered
into the fight with as much ear
nestness Ito all appearanecs)
as did his pals" and he di9 re-
ceivein return some good blows.
The ring-leaders were captured
and in company with "Jim from
Jersey" were put in cells
" hen the day of examination
came, "Dutch Jim" was put oh
The stand, and when he gave as
MS occupation Government
Secret Service Officer" the
,ounterfeiters wilted. The evil
1ence was too strong to be brC-
ken, and the gang was secured.
Becker has since returned to,
Newark, and is now on the city
force.

The clerk suggested that lie
might describe her.
"WeII, p'r'aps 1 might. She
is rather short; has red hair, and
is little frnckeled. Her nose
turns up, too"
He was informed that no la

Important Decision.

A Railroad Must be Located Be-
fore a Subscription Cam lie Voted
|. We have already in cur col
umns, says the Banner, made al
lusion to the important case
between certain citizens Of Smith
County and the Tennessee and
and Pacific Railroad Company,
involving the issuance of $780,
GOO in bonds Of Smith County,
by order Of Smith County Court.
The opinion in the case was
read in the Supreme Court Sat-
urday.
Tie decision was Uut upon
the ground that the law requires
certain things to be done before
the County Court is allowed to
submit proposition tosubscribe
stock i'll a railroad to a vote Of
the people; that one Of these
conditions precedent was, that
a sworn statement Of the compa-
ny's engineer shall be filed with
the court, showing the location
Of the road from one end to the
other, with certain estimates,
etc. In this case it seems the
engineers statement only show.
ed the location Of the railroad
from Nashville to a point seven
ty-five miles eastward, and not
its entire length. This was
held to lie a fatal detect; and
that without the full statement
and estimates which the law re-
quires, the County Court could
not order an election. There
fore all the proceedings were
void.
1t must not be concluded that
this decision operates to invali-
date the county bonds issued by
Davidson and Wilson counties.
The bonds Of these counties
having been actually issued and
sold into the hands OF third per-
sons, they are protected by the
law of negotiable paper, The
Supreme Court of the United
States has, in many recent decis-
ions, held such bonds to be bind
ding, and unaffected by any
informality in theperlormance of
the condition precedent to their
issue.

did not, and merely pulled it to
when they went out. 3. Three
hundred and two did not attempt
to shut ii at all, either on coming
in or going cut. 4 One huodred
and two opened it iD a great hur-
ry and slammed it violently, but
left it open when they went out.
5. Twenty came i'll with "How
do YOU d.. sir?" or Good morn

and all Of these went through

door when they came in nor VIXEN
