was this morning discovered to be dee
fsulter in over one hundred Thousand
dollars. He has been absent from his
Office since last Wednesday, having left
at that time for a trip to Cincinnati.
Not returning at the time expected, sus-
picion was aroused. and on eHamlna-
ton of the safe this morning by the
Deputy Treasurer, County Commission
ers and the securities, $lll,4l2 were
found missing OF this amount, sixty
thousand dolIars had been loaned to
parties in Mansfield, but the attorney
of Rowland, Colonel u. r. Dickey, re-
fuses to give the names Of the borrow
ers. He claims about twenty thousand
dollars OF this amount to be coilectabie.
A balance of S5l ,4l2 in money is sup
posed to have been carried off by the
defanlting Treasurer. The securities
on the bond OF Rowlrrd are Colonel B.
Burns, James Rowland. e. +. Carpen-
ter, Henry C. Hedges. L. Mccoy, John
B. Netscber and DImon Sturges. They
are men of means, and the county is
secured from loss. Rowland was elect

shock to his friends and the entire

THE Civil Rights Bill now under dis
cussion in the House OF Representa-.
tiyes, has a more direct and disastrous
effect upoa the public school system in
the Southern States than upon any
ether interest. The admission o. negroes
to hotels and railroad cars and theatres
and churches and cemeteries upon an
equal footing with the whites, as con-
templated by the bill, may be submit
ted TO- The social caste which is above
law and which cannot be affected by
acts of Congress will still prevail in
tbese respects; but an attempt to com
pei the co.education OF whites
and blacks in the same schools
will have disastrous results. In
nearly all of the Southern States 1t
will paralyze the free echool system and
lead to the abandonment OF all schemes
Of public instruction. The constitution
and the laws OF West Virginia make
ample provision for the education OF
negroes, but prohibits mixed schools. v
II this prohibition be over borne by
congressional enactment, the free school
system OF this State will cease to COM
maud the popular support which now
gives it the chief place in public con-
c.rn, and will he abandoned as soon as
a legislature can meet for the repeal Of
the law.

for amusement, gave several bysiand-
ers specimens Of his dogs requirements,
at the corner OF Perdido and 81. CHARLES

gesture Of any kind. told his dog to
walk across the street, find little va.
gon and get into it. Doggy obsyed,
though reluctantly. as the wagon was
a cart, but he finally complied. He
was then told to hunt up FIRE plug
and mount it. His keen eyes searched
a moment, aud on the instant poor Tray
pleased his owner. He was then COM
manded to hunt q lamp post and put
his fore feet on it. This done, he was
told to 70 into the Pelican saloon, find
chair, and cit in it; then 10 look up
a beer barrel and stard on it; then TO
lie down and act like a poisoned dog.
