BOSS TWEED.
George COmstOeA's Reply 20 the
charges upon the New York
Court Of Appeals by
Charles O'COnOr and
Judge Davis.

NEW YORK, July 24.-George F.
COmstock, of counsel for William NJ.
Tweed in the hd6cIS corpus case before
the court OF appeals, ana an ex-Jutga OF
that court, has published a reply to an
attack OF Charles O'COnOr and Judge
Davis upon the court OF appeals for Civ
ing a decision favorable to Tweed. In
the letter Mr.. COmstOck says: ain all
the arguments of counsel in opposition
to the lawless sentence pronounced by
Judge Davis, that magistrate was treat
ell with fOrbearance, but it ought now
to be known that there were
circumstances attending the last
aud final trial, conviction and
sentence which may justify
more than doubt whether he is any
longer entitled to such forbearance. The
trial proceeded as if the purpose was
conviction and punishment for a single
crime. This prisoner and his counsel
were entrapped into the belief that only
one conviction and one sentence were
intended. No change in the opinion Of
the judge as announced on the first trial
was suggested by him until the jury
rendered their general verdict of guilty.
Then the masked battery was uncOv-
cred, and then the tremendously accu-
muiated sentences Of the judge fell upon
the depressed and wretched prisoner,
charged with neglect of official duty or a
bad performance Of official duty as au-
ditOr Of Certain accounts. The pun
ishment, in its accumulated severity,
was more than twice greater than the
law would have tolerated if he had been
guilty of larceny Of forty millions of
money. | know of no precedent for
such trial since the times when JEFF
freys and SCragg5 administered the
criminal laws Of England. The trans
fer Of the case from the murky atmOs-
phere Of Judge DAvis's court, charged
with electro passion and vaulting ambi-
ton, to the court of appeals, was like
the translation to another world. TO
Mr.. O;COnOr's share in the criticism
of the court of appeals, Judge Com
stock says: 81 will take his opinion with
the utmost respect after he has made an
examination in the light Of the authOri.
ties Of the proceeding. Until then it
would be becoming to withhold his
abuse of high tribunal which has care
fully and labOriOusly considered the
question and decided it."

THE CHORPENNING CASE.
Decision of the AtfOrney-GecsraI Sent
10 the President Touching The
ChOrpGnRtBg Job.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The attOr-
ney-general has sent the President .
long opinion in the Chorpeuning case,
reviewing the various acts of congress
relating thereto, and the various deci-
siOus of the supreme court and the court
OF claims on which principles governing
this case have been judicially consider
ed. The opinion Is that four hundred
and fOrty-three thousand dollars found
due by the late acknowledgement can
not be paid since the repeal OF the resO-
luton which referred the case to the
pOstmaster.general; that under the law
the postmaster general did not act as
judge, but merely as the minister Of
congress; that his finding is not ia the
nature Of award by al arbitrator,
and that the case does not differ
in principle from the case Of Gordon US.
the United State 7 Wade, 1913; that the
award OF one hundred and nine thou
sand and seventy-thTee dollars, hereto
fore paid by the postmaster-gen to
Mr.. UhOrpenning, which was found due
under reference to the postmaster-gen
eral, made by act Of congress, did not
bind ChOrpenning so that he could not
appeal to congress for more. On the
other hand the encouragement holds
that the present pOstmaster.general is
not authorized to pay the additional
amount found due by the late poStmas-
ter.general for the reason that congress
repealed the resolution Of reference be-
fore the money was paid. He holds that
in the present condition of the law the
court of claims has jurisdiction in the
case, but is clearly of the opinion that
the amount found due by the last post
master-general is not an award which
the court can enforce, and that unless
congress intervenes the claim Is de-
barred by the statute of limitation.

COKINTH, MISS.
Complaint about ExerbAtant EOcRl
Freight hates on the Hemphts
and Charleston NHiEuay
GOOD Crops, Etc.

From an Occasional Correspondent
CORINTH, July 22.-Knowing how
Jealous you labor for the best interests
OF the Buff City, have no doubt but
you will accord space for this cOmmu-
nication in your valued paper. l have
travelled over the Memphis and Charles
ton railroad Tor over six years, as agent
for your largest wholesale clothing
house, and have never heard auy COM
plants made by merchants along this
line as to the local freight rates charged
by the Memphis and Charleston railroad
company. Though the rates charged
heretofore have not been very low, yet
they operated in favor of Memphis, and
enabled her merchants to draw the
trade on this road to our city. But how
is it now? The latest freight tariff al
most doubles the former rates, which
were, for instance, on carload of salt
from Memphis to Salisbury, seventeen
dollars and fifty cents, and now the
charges are thirty-twO dollars, and go
on through the whole category.
Can you blame the merchants when
they complain and say that this will
compel them to quit Memphis and seek
other markets? Unless our merchants
awake from their lethargy and avert the
danger threatened them by the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad cOmpany's
high local tariff, they will have cause to
regret the loss OF trade brought about by
indifference to their own interests and
that of their customers. Let the worthy
chamber Of commerce look into this
matter and remedy the evil before the
fall and winter trade opens; let them
spare no efforts in this direction. This
is no trifing matter. Hoping this warn
ing will not be passed unheeded by our
enterprising mercantile community, l
respectfully yours, Ell. q.
n. B.-CrOps are looking splendid;
and farmers are in good
humor. Should nothing occur to dissi-
pate present prospects, we will once
more enjoy season of prosperity. May
heaven grant it! G..

MURDER.
Giles wallace, of DeSOIO County, mis-.
sIssfppI. Kills HIS COIOred Friend
He Fees TO Memphis and
is Arrested.

Thursday night Alfred Fort (negro)
was lied near HernandO, DeSoto cOun-
ty, Mississippi, by another negro named
Giles Wallace. The facts of the hOmi-
eide are as follows: The two men, who
were employed on Val Meriwether's
plantation, attended a picnic near Her
nandO Thursday night; and, although
on friendly terms, had misunderstand-
ing about a woman whom they both
loved. At late hour in the night Fort
started home, and when short distar ce
from the town he was approached by
Wallace, who had cautiously followed
him from the picnic. Wallace finally
caught up with Fort and showed him
across the road. The latter asked Wal
lace why he acted in such manner and
what he intended doing. In answer to
this question Wallace drew a dirk-knife,
and, rushing upon Fort, stabbed him III
the breast. The knife was buried up to
its hilt, and cut into the lungs Of Fort,
who, with a wild scream, fell speechless
by the roadside and died almost instant
ly. Wallace fled into the woods, leav-
ing the dead man where he fell.
A number Of negroes who happeneu
to be near, and saw the murderer as he
plunged the knife into his victim,
rushed to the spot, but Fort was already
dead. Thinking that Wallace would
come to Memphis, Sheriff Evans, OF De-
Soto county, mailed a letter to Chief
Athy, giving description of Wallace,
and informing him that the negro had
committed an atrociOus murder, and for
his arrest there was d statutory reward
Of two hundred dollars, payable now out
Of the county treasury. Yesterday
morning negro who had heard of the
murder, and was told that Wallace wore
a homemade straw hat, lined with
calico, saw negro man answering the
description Of the fugitive walking
along the Mississippi Central road near
the depot. He followed the suspected
negro up Main street to Linden, where
he met Officer Homan and requested
him to arrest the man. Officer Homan
did so, and carried him to the station
house to await Information from Sheriff
Evans, whom Chief Athy has notified
OF the arrest. The accused gave his
name as Andy M'Lean, but his hat, as
well as his general appearance, indicate
that he is the person who murdered All
Fort.
