known in this county AS one of lis largest land

and his wife little his junior. Living with
them us a farm hand was black boy Of small
stature, aged about eighteen, named Jesse
Fouks, and a little coored boy about ten
years, named Addison Russell. Fouks had
been hauling wood, and on coming in al
night was accused Of stealing piece of pork
from his employer, which he dchied and a
quarrel ensued. The boy was ordered from
the house but refused 10 60 unless the meat IN
dispute was given to him. Old man Herndon
picked up an axe and told the bor if he did not
leave The house be would knock him down.
Here the tale ends until Friday morning.
when, ub0ut sun-up, Summerield, a son ofthe
old man, who lives a short distance away,
approached the house, aud on entering the
yard, discovered bloody footprints, which he
traced to the door, and upon entering ghast-
y and bloody scene was presented To his view

A little later the old man is discovered in a
field about four hundred yards from his
dwelling, bareheaded and bareooted, with
his head and face cut and bleeding in many
places. Mr.. john Alexander, neighbor
who found him, asked him who had done the
deed. The old man, who seemed TO be be-
wIdered, said be did not know who had done
it that he had been walking about all night,
and felt cold when he walked in the water.
He WAS conveyed TO his home and there told
his story to Justices Horton and Woodward

GRANT AS A REFoRMER. The people who

must have some difficulty in reconciing with
this theory of his character such acts Of his as
inviting Harrington to private reception and
appointing his brother, Oryil Grant, 20 the
latest Indian trading post in he West We
pointed out last week that Grants Indian pol
icy is humbug but such appointments as
this look like something worse. We have
never accused Grant of corruption in Office,
and shall no: do so now but we are COM
PEELED to say that when Indian reform
movement, which for FIVE years has BEEN ira :
plicity con6ded 10 General Grants charge
ends in the resignation of all the President s
chosen Commissioners on the ground that they
moi supported by him in their efforts for
reform and when we are Informed that this
Indian post is handed over to Orvil Grant.
people cannot be expected TO Judge the head
and front of the whole very lenicn.ly. In
deed if General Grant were not General
Grant, and had not saved the Union, it would
probably now be difficult to convince people
that he was entitled to anything short Of i'm
parchment for g NAL and corrupt" admins

material as to be impervious TO public opinion,

LAUNDERING LAw-MAKERs Owing to the
defects of the revised laws Of New Jersey, il is
claimed they cannot go into effect on the first
of january, 1875, as prescribed therein. 1t
seems that the work of the committee Of revi-
sion was duly submitted to the Legislature,
but when the time came to put the laws into
the hands of the State printer it was ascertained
that certain Of them had, by oversight of the
Senate, flied to pass that body, and untilthe
defect is supplied the State will be without
law on some subjects after January, 1875, the
date on which the revised laws were TO go into
effect. An extra session to remedy the defect
is talked of, but oadd to the perpleXity Of the
situation the president.o of the Senate and speaker
of the House have just started with an excursion
for the Bermudas They are expected back,
however, in about ten days, aud the Governor
can give the Legislature chance to avert the
CONSEQUENCES Of lis STUPIDITY.
