FEES OF OFFICERS.
The Decision of the Supreme Court
Deciding that All Fees Due o1h-
GERS can be Paid in Scrip.

/ The Little Rock Gazette Of Thursday,
saws, ave mentioned on Sunday that the
Supreme Court decided, in the case OF
VIM r Bamsev VS. y ". Cox, clerk of
the Supreme Court, that all officers OF the
State. County and Township were com
PEELED to take state scrip in payment oil
fees, etc., due them. Below we give an
abstract Of the decision, which was con-
cured in by all tho judges, except the
chiei sstca, The case came up IN the
shape Of a petition from Ramsey, asking
for rule on Cox to compel him to re-
ccive in State scrip certain fees and costs
due him. The clerk demurred to the pc
tition. The decision says
"The constitution provides that all
salaries, fees and per diem or other com
psnsoton of all State, County, Town or
other officers within the State shall be
payable in such funds as may by law be
receivable for State taxes (Sec 8, Art
l5), That this provision is applicable to
all officers Of the state, county, town, etc.
within the state, no difference what may
be their grade or character, and that the
subject Of the provision is compensation
of such officers in whatever form due,
cannot, we presume, be disputed. e
Treasurcrs' certificates are receivable for
state taxes. They we're issued to be u.s.
ed by the persons to whom due, or bear
err and in small denominations, and on
bank mote paper, that they might be con,
veniently used by the people generally
tor that purpose. We can
have no doubt, from the language used,
that the provisions Of the constitution in.
tended that whatever should be receivable
in payment of state taxes, whether tech
nicalIy denominated funds or not should
also be receivable for salary, fees, etc, OF
officers If treasurers' certificates are
funds in contemplation Of the constitu.
ton, the conclusion from this section
and legislative enactments that make such
funds receivable in payment Of State tax
es, cannot be avoided that such certiii
Gates are receivable in satisfaction OF all
dues to offices in compensation OF their
services. The matter Of com
pdnsation is subject entirely to the con-
troll Of the people, or to the control Of the
legislature when not inhibited By the
people in their constitution. Officers
must exercise the privileges or franchises
of their offices for the kind and amount
Of pay that the law makers may prescribe
or resign their positions.
This decision. as will be seen, covers
the fees Of all State, County and Town
ship officers without any exception. All
of them are compelled to take state scrip
when rendered.

The Court of Supervisors Broken Up
4 Mob Takes Possession of the Town
of Greenwood.
THE COURT FORCED TO TDJouRN.

Fort smith Independent, Jan. 8.
On Monday last the Court Of Super
vsors met, and elected David A. McKib-
ben, President. Supervisors HOWARD and
| FERGUSON voting for him. When the
mem bers Of the Court entered town. it
was in the midst Of The tircing Of anvils,
and the appearance in the street OF apar.
ty Of men with black strings tied around
one leg, which thcy said was badge OF
mourning for " Hedgehoges es'--the name
applied to Supervisors Mekibben and
Ferguson, Is is said Mcclure, the Sheriff
threw down his pistols on the table in a
threatening attitude, swearing to shoot
! the first man dead who writes rejected
on his bond, The scene represented to
us by persons who were present, was
most disgraceful for u civilized commu,
nifty, headed as it was by Sheriff Mcclure
and'his strikers along with him. Indeed
those present inform us, that it was un'
doubtedly the intention of the party to
kill Supervisor McKibben, as their hors-
es wero held at the Court House door, by
negros, with the brides over their heads,
reany to be mounted in moment. Ne
Clure is trying to force the President Of
the Court to approve his bond as Collect
or for the County, which it is alleged, is
| filled by irresponsible persons
In the afternoon the threatening aspect
of affairs being such, that the friends Of
the President Of the Board, DIR. Mckib-
ben was urged to adjourn the Court un.
til Thursday, to day, at 10 o clock
The Supervisors, the appontees Of
Gov. Baxter are overawed and driven
from the Counts at, by the Sheriff Of the
County We ale unable to give half Of
the outrages committed at Greenwood
on Monday, as we learn them Are we
to have another Pope county affair to be
inaugurated by the Sheriff and his lawless
adherents Two of the deputies Of Me-
Clue, John Patterson and Horace Eel
lows are spoken Of as making themselves
obnoxious by their course, and these two
men as deputies are enough to condemn
the Sheriff, for they are reckless, insult
ing and without character, and deserve
punishment. Really Greenwood is now
and has been for long time ruled by
mob. Will the people submit to such
lawlessncss by county officials The Su
pervisors and Sheriff are all republicans.
