Yesterday fternoon an excited 'ndi

head like the horus Of snail, rushed
into the Office of coroner IL. The
coroner is by profession dentist, and
his first thought as he glanced at the
man, was that he was well nigh DIS
tracted with toothache II was soon
undeceived, however, as the frenzled
individual cried out. as soon as he
could catch his breath after running
up the stairs: Been man murdered!
"a man murdered ? cried the cor

A NBARo MARsHAL-At the eec-
ton last week a colored man was elect
ed to the office of Town Marshal of
Harrodsburg. The People of that
place says of it:
"Burrell Snecd, colored, was elected
Marshal last Monday He is the first
colored man who ever ran for an Office
in Harrodsburg. Only few white
men voted for him-his support COM
ing mainly from the colored people.
Fl had the legal right to run-he has
the legal right to hold the Office and
to perform the duties of marshal He
does not pretend to be competent. His
election only shows what may be done,
nav. what toiu be done. Kentucky is
afoat with her sister States upon the
muddy and turbulent current of that
stream which is bearing the Republic
on with resistless sweep to ruin Sand
she cannot escape the common destiny
which extreme Radicaism has prepar-
ed for the whole country. The day is
not far distant when there will be ne-
gro postmasters, gaugers, &c, in Ken
tueky: nor will the child of ten be
half way through his teens, before
black men will occupy Office in many
counties in Kentucky. This is no at
tempt at prophecy, but is simply the
necessary conclusion from what Radi-
cslsm has done and promised to do.

OBITUARY.

Died, of brain fever, at the residence Of
S. W Lauderdale, in the vicinity of Hick
man. on the 9th day of the present month,
Mrs. ELIZA J. WEIGH aged % years and
days.
The subject of this notice was born in
Kings county, Ireland, July 3lst, 1915,
was married March I'd, 1862, to Mr.. John
H. Welch, a lieutenant in the Confederate
army, who died September 18th, 1866
Left widow at the age of q, with one
child, she returned to the home of her
widowed mother, in this city, and be-
came a member of the family, and so re-
mained until the death of her mother in
1867. She being the eldest of two sisters
took charge of the household, and never
did sister perform the duties which de-
volved upon her with greater 6delSy.
By her industry, economy and manage
ment of the domestic affairs of the fami-
ly, peace, happiness and plenty was her
reward. 1t was one of her prominent
traits to desire the comfort and happi-
ness of those with whom she was connect
ed either by ties of consanguinity or So
cial relations. No one in our midst had
higher claims to all the graces and emo
bling qualities which belong only to the
pure, the good, the gentle, the generous.
But alas, all the graces of person, social
attributes, with which she was so richly
endowed, the prayers of friends, the skill
of the ply sician, could not stay the fell
destroyer, aud she has passed away never
more to return.
Mrs. W had besn from her earliest
years connected with the Catholic church
and after arriving at a maturer age,
received all the sacraments and benefits
which the church can confer, and lived in
accordance the remainder of her life. She
leaves an only child-two sisters and
brother TO lament her death and the great
loss which they have sustained. J.

Tue Princeton Banner says There
is one thing which the next Legisla
ture Of Kentucky should do, and that
is to investigate the salaries of our
State and comfy officers. There is no
doubt in. the minds of rejecting men
that the Salaries attached to some of
our officers are too high willie others
are too small. No honest patriot, no
we'll wisher Of the Commonwealth can
read an account of the scenes and in
cidents of Election Day in Louisville
without biushing for shame Some Of
the city and county Offices bring to the
incumbent. under our present salary
law, immense sums of money, which
enables the candidates to place thou
sands of dollars where they will do
the most good" Oh election day. 1t is
said-and we have no doubt of it. that
as much as $4,000, and even $4,000,

Judge A 4. Boon and Commonwe alth' 5
Attorney Randle close their official terms
with the expiration of the Fulton Circuit
Court, and we suppose there are few il
any n this Judicial District, who viii
not eheerfully yield to each the well
merited compliment "Well done good and
faithful servant" The bar, juries. and
citizens of the District, are as one voice
in acknowl edgment of their ability, prob
ity and honor. Had either of them con-
sented to reelection to their present
positions, we think it safe to say neither
would have had any opposition. Their
