Il MASTER ELECT OF THE NATIONAL
GRANGE,

OIdN UGs
judge John T. Jones, of Arkansas, was
elected Master of the National Grange on
the tenth ballot, on Tuesday, November %.
Judge Jones is a native of Essex county,
Virginia, having been born in that county
and State in the year 1873. lie was educat-
ed at the University of Virginia, graduating
in the year 1888, having also taken the law
course. He removed to within ten miles Of
Helena, Phillips county, Arkansas, where
he settled ma plantation and has continued
to reside there ever since that time.
He was elected Judge of the First Judicial
District of Arkansas in 1912, and again
in 1916, serving two terms of four years
each.
He was elected to the Senate of the United
States from Arkansas in 1866, before the
State was reconstructed, but was not
admitted to a seat in that body. This was
the only political office for which he ever Of
fered.
He retired from the bench in 1850, and has
been engaged in planting ever since, as well
as having carried on a large planting inter-
est while serving as Circuit Judge. He has
two large plantations in Phillips county,
Arkansas, cultivating about one thousand
acres of land besides, a plantation on Red
river, having about four hundred acres I'M
der cultivation. In his farming operations,
Judge Jones has always made his first care
to have an abundant provision cropinwhich
he never failed. He annually makes about
eight hundred bales of cotton and other crops
in proportion.
Judge Jones has always been q faporite in
the National Grange, and his election to the
highest office gives universal satisfaction. 1t
may be said here that no cause other than a
desire for rotation can be assigned for the
failure to re-elect Mr.. Adams, this officer
having given great satisfaction as Master for
the last three years.
II ovERsEER.
Mr.. j.. j. Woodman, the Overseef-elect of
the National Grange, is a native of Vermont
having been born in Sutton township, Gale
donia county, of that State in the year 1925,

much younger looking man. His father
moved to New York State, when MIR. Wood
man was six years of age, and from thence
remove to Michigan forty years ago when
that State was q wilderness.
Mr.. Woodman has spent ten years Of his
life teaching and two years in the Cali
fornia mines, but has owned and OPP
Grated q farm since arriving at the years of
manhood.
Mr.. Woodman was elected to the Legisla-
ture of Michigan in 1860 and served for
twelve consecutive years thereafter-two
years as Speaker pro. tenn, and four years as
Speaker.
He now lives at PaWpaw, Van Buren,

Mr.. Woodman is a tall man OF pleasing
face and address.-Farmers' Home journal.

OF INDUSTRY.

The following is from an address, deliv-
cred before the Maine State Council of the
Sovereigns Of Industry, Wednesday, Nov.
II, by William III. Earle, Esq, President of
the National Council, and pretty clearly de-
fines the position of this new but important
organization. Mr.. Earle said:
"Twenty-one months ago, less than a
score of persons met in an upper room in
Springfield Mass, to form an organization
called the Sovereigns Of Industry. The true
basis of human society is absolute justice.
Must a thousand be poor, while one may be
rich? We intend to promulgate a new Cos
pel-that Of equality, Justice and humanity
(which shall contribute to the well
fare and prosperity of the laboring
classes.
"All agree that that policy is safest which
contributes to the happiness of the body and
not to a few. The great majority of our in
h sbitants live by the sweat of their brow,

But a thank God, as brothers should,
We meet in glad and social mood,

Enlarge at will, on varied stocks;
To plead the claims of milky kline,
And ships of on our line.

HANGMAN'S DAY.
Friday, November 10, 1875.

Gov. Kellogg, while having under consid.
GRAFTON the records in the cases of two parties
sentenced to be hung, both of whom are now
confined in the Parish Prison, addressed q
letter to Judge G.. II. Braughn and District
Attorney McPhelin, requesting information.
His letter reads as follows:
STATE OF LOUISIANA,
Executive Department, :
New Orleans, October 20, 1875,
Hon. George Fl. Braushn:
Sri have before me, under consideration,
the records in the cases of William Davis,
alias Bill Williams, alias Whisky Bill, con
victed before the Superior Crimira al Court of
the crime of murder, and ID. r. Henderson,
also convicted before the same court, of the
crime of murder, and both sentenced to death.
At the time OF the trial of these cases you
were the presiding judge of the Superior
Criminal Court, and [ desire to know from
you whether in your judgment, there we're
any facts elected in evidence which should
operate to bring about mitigation by the
Executive of the sentence passed by the
court in either case.
perceive from the records, that no motion
appears to have been made, in either case,
for an arrest of Judgment, or an appeal, and,
therefore, as matter Of precau;ion, address
this inquiry. Awaiting your reply, | re-
main, Very respectfully.
WILLIAM P KELLOGG.
Judge Braugbn replied as follows:
New ORLEANS, Oct. 80, 1875.
Gov. VIM. P. Kellogg, Present:
Dear GOUer,lor-1n answer to your commu-
nicatlon of the 20 h inst, ipquiring "whether,
in my judgment. there were any facts elected
in evidence which should operate to bring
about a mitigation by the Executive" ETC.,
have the honor to say that in both the cases
mentioned that of VIM Davis alias Whisky
Bill, and d. r. Henderson, no testam ntary
circumstances appealed. The evidence
showed both cases to hava been brutal and
premeditated murders, devoid of all provoca-
ton and capable of no defense. In my opin-
ion a mitigation of Their sentences would be
mercy i'll applied
l have the honor to be your excellency's
humble servant, G.. II. BRAUGHN.
The reply of District Attorney McPhelin
was as follows:
NEw.ORLEANs, Nov. 2, 1875.
To His Excellency. VIM. P. Kellogg.
Sir-Ia RESPONSE to your inquiry relative to
the cases of D. r. Henderson and Bill Will
liams, alias Whisky Bill, now under sentence
of death ior murder, l would state that can
discover no mitigating circumstances in either
case to warrant communication of the SEN
tence, much less pardon.
Respectfully
JOHN McPHELIN, District Attorney.
On receipt of these communications, Gov
Kellogg ordered the death warrants to be
prepared for his signature.
Our reporter saw him last night, and he
stated that be would sign the warrants to-day,

The Southern Pacific Railroad.

The New York Bulletin takes the same
ground that we did in recent article, show
ing that if there is to be Southern Pacific
Railroad, by government aid, it should be
Southern in fact as we'll as name. The Btlle-
tin says:
The Richmond, New Orleans and Savannah
papers have lately contained articles which
reflect the same dissatisfaction, some of them
taking the ground that the South has
no tavors to ask of Col. Scott, nor has
he any to grant in this matter of q
Pacific Railroad and that if there is
to be Southern Pacific Railroad by govern
ment interventioc, IL should be such a one
as will minister to the ports of the Gulf
Lower Mississippi and Atlantic coast cities;
and furthermore, Kat there are corporations
south Of the Potomac and west of the Missis-
sppi whose ability and responsibility for
whatever they may undertake in the way of
railroad building are quite equal to those Of
the Texas and Pacific aud Atlantic and Pacific
Companies with whom the task of construct
ing Southern Pacific Road may be intrusted.
The decision of the Supreme Court of
Michigan, affirming the constitutionality Of
the special tax on hq uors covers an interest
ing point. There is prohibitory law in the
State, but it has long been dead letter. and
its only effect is to render contracts for the
sale OF liquor in the State void. The court
held that if the government is put to special
Inconvenience and cost by the continuation
of prohibited traffic, this fact is sufficient
reason for a discrimination in taxation against
the person engaged in such traffic; and that,
if the tex is imposed on a thing which is pro-
hibited, the law imposing the tax Instead of
being inconsistent with the prohlbitory law,
is in entire harmony with its general pur-
pose, and may possibly be even more effectual.
