JACKSON COUNTY MEETS AND RI.
SOLVES

1he jackson county people are indg-
nant. The late developments of the feud
in Williamson county and the Ku-klux
operations in Franklin, in connection with
the fact that Sisney was killed in Carbon
dale, have conspired to give jackson
county reputation somewhat similar to
that borne by Williamson and Franklin.
But the Jacksonians do not lie quietly
under the soft impeachment. On the sd
inst. an indignation mass meeting was
held at Murphysboro in the court house.
The meeting was presided over by Hon.
Hiram Swartz, of Elkville, one of the
County Commissioners. Addresses were
made by Hon. j. Banks Mayham, Hon.
r. Z. Albright, Gill j. Burr, NJ. c.
White, d. 4. Garrett and others.
Resolutions were passed to the effect
that whereas. the press OF the country
has been led to associate jackson with
Franklin and williamson as one of the
turbulent counties whose law could not
be executed through her citizens and
county officials, and that an emergency
existed to invoke the aid of the Governor
OF the State to that end; therefore il
was resolved, that jackson Is not one of
the turbulent counties that its law-abid
ing citizens regret the uneuviablC
notoriety, reckless newspapers aud indi
ylduals have given il; that the applica,
ton to the Governor TO arm and equip n
company Of militia at the present time
was unwise and calculated to iniure the
good name Of the county; that they rec
ognize the county officers as men willing
and able TO arrest and punish all crimi-
mails who do not get away from them !;
tllat they no not want the arms until
called for, and that ''as law-abldipg citi-
zens Of jackson county, in mass.meeting
assembled respectfully and kindly request
The press Of the country to correct the
false and unwarranted reports which
have recently emblazoned the columns
OF papers throughout the country. and
beg Of them to place Us in proper llpb,
before the world"

The resolution offered by Mr.. Warner

AssAssINs As WELL A. THIEVES.

"A dastardly attempt TO assassinatc an
asen, of the government in Chicago-an
attempt evidently made By the direction
and connivance of the whisky ring,
shows the ring to be even more corrupt
than the public has judged it to be. The
revenue agent, j. T.. Miller. was until last
May in the employ of the government
as gauger At that time the secret SER
vice never visited Chicago and raded the
dlstlleries and manufactures.
1t was intimated. and an investigation
seemed to justify the inlimatlon, that
Miller had been derclict in the perform.
ancc of the manifold duties which his po-
sition made incumbent upon him. He
was charged with having in several in
stances openly violated certain sections
OF the law. lie was dismissed, but no
charges were ever preferred against him,
III was limited at the time i'm
certain circles that the action of the GOV
crnment in dccaptating Miller was re-
cciyed with genuine chucklc by the
ring. Whether true or not, Miller seems
to have harborcd 10 revenge in his bosom
for those who had disarmed him. fol
very soon after he went to the govern.
ment officials and presented to them q
huge bundle OF damaging testimony
which, when turned loose, would prov,
ucslru'iiVc a'aianohe 10 the ring IN
'hi'ago and the district. Inns RIM gam.
prised men of influence and social stand
| ing such as few could claim. The mass
put out by Miller was gotten up so min
utely, so pointed and convincing in every
detail, that the officials saw i'm II a de-
slructlNc weapon with which
they would knock to atoms every
vestigc of corruption remaining. and
bring out the perpetrators collectively.
Miller was accordingly taken back into
the service of the government. since
which time he h as rendered valuable aid
to the Treasury officials in their inyesti-
cations into the operations of the ring.
But he has been marked by its members.
and has had presentiment that
they meant mischief toward him. a pre-
sentiment which came very near TO being
realized few days ago. Last Friday
while he was out for stroll on one of
the suburban streets OF Chicago, a figure
that was both muscular and active, with
face well Swallowed, sprang before
him and presented pistol which was at
once discharged. The ball lodged in one
of Millers arms and the assassin fled.
Miller Is in hiding under the protection of
the government, and he will remain
guarded until his recovery. The affair
proves that the whisky ring contains
murderers as well as thieves.
