The Democrat of whom we spoke last
week as having been marched off to the
Calaboose, was McCollister Humphreys.
He resides in the country, and came to
town on Sunday, July 4th, got beer at
Gustav Geigers saloon, near the Depot,
got drunk, etc. On Monday the Mayor
fined him ten dollars, and sent him to
Jail ten days. On Wednesday at noon
ball and chain were attached to his leg,
and he was put upon the street near the
Jail, under charge of Jake Crabtree.
Nc. said he would not work, and he did
not. Crabtree worked faithfully, but
Nc. only stood with folded arms, and oc-
casionally he would sit down upon the
ball All day Thursday he was kept up
on the street, but he did no work Same
on Friday. We passed him on Friday
forenoon, and as he is a poet, we offered
him a dollar if he would celebrate his
captivity in verse, for the Standard. He
said he had commenced, and showed US
his manuscript He sat afterwards, for
hours, and with paper upon his knee,
wrote and wrote. Between four and five
in the afternoon, while Crabtree was
temporarily absent, he broke his chain,
left the ball, and struck for liberty. We
hope he will send US his poetry.
This is the first case of chain gang in
jackson since the days of Wilson Hog
bin, quarter of century ago.
There is quite bitter feeling existing
between Judge Du Hallway and some of
the members of the bar in this place. 1t
has been carried so far that the Judge
and Levi DUNCAN do not speak to each
other, and the love existing between the
Judge and Mr.. Trip is not quite as fer
vid as that between David and Jonathan.
We have not noticed this in Court, on
the part of the attorneys, but we saw an
exhibition of it on the part of the Judge,
which we think was q mistake on his
part, and which we regretted to see. 1t
has always been the practice here, when
a criminal was unable to employ counsel,
for the Court to appoint the attorney he
might select. When counsel had to be
appointed for Miller and Cecil, the Judge
refused to appoint Trip and DUNCAN,
whom they had selected, and with whom
they had consulted, but appointed Laird
and Hastings to defend them.

Jay GouId,s Grea, speculation.

Let every impartial citizen take off his
hat and salute Jay Gould as the smartest
man in the Uuited States. He has this
winter beaten all the other spectators
of Wall street, Broad street, and every
other street, and their scalps hang in his
belt. lie has broken down the mar
ket price of Western Union Telegraph
shares, and on Tuesday he finally took
possession Of the Pacific Mail On West
ern Union his profits are believed to be
between million and half and two
millions; and on Pacific Mail his net
gains are variously estimated from half a
million upwards. Some Of his conieder-
ates appear to have been badly bitten in
buying Atlantic and Pacific stock, but as
he sold il to them. the loss is theirs, not
his. The investigation Of Twins trans
actions by the committee Of Ways and
Means was part of his stock jobbing
machinery, just as we're the various prop
ositions in Congress to make the telegraph
part Of the Postoffice establishment,
and TO compel ali telegraph companies to
take each others dispatches but the re-
viyification Of the Atlantic i Pacific Tel.
egraph Company just at the right mo-
ment, and the sale Of Its stock to mem
bers of Congress and others, form one of
his most brilliant professional hits. In
these big transactions he has been shrewd
enough to enlist considerable weight of
public opinion on his side, while, strange
to say, he has had the Jealous, effective
and constant cooperation Of the Tribune,
majority of whose stock he is believed
to hold as collateral, and Of the Times,
which he ence tried to bay for million,
but was refused. Probably so extensive
a stock operator was never before seen in
any country, and his success has equalled
his talent and his sudacity; and yet,
Judging from the fate Of other great men
who have trod the same path before him
if he lives long enough, he is pretty sure
| to die poor.

A Jury AbscOnds.

A Willmar, Num-, dispatch, last week,
says that the "bulwark of our American
liberties. " the jury system, was badly
shattered at that place Friday, in a suit
before the justice court relative to the
ownership Of bucksaw. The jury, COM
posed of six Of our prominent merchants,
were out four hours and reported to the
court twice their inability to agree. The
justice refused to release or give them re-
freshment, and ordered them to be locked
up until they agreed. 1t being midnight
and having had nothing to drink or eat for
twelve hours. the jury, instead Of debat-
ing evidence, '1olded their tents like the
Arabs and silently stole away"-throueh
a window, leaving the court in the arms
Of Morpheus waiting decision. Next
day they were arrested and fined from
IS to SIS, according ITO the amount of
contempt expressed by each individual
in his explanatory remarks. The justice
Is still without decision and the Jury
are out more ways than one.

speaker BIaine's Closing Address.

Speaker Blaine's yaledlctory. delivered
at the close Of the House proceedings on
Tuesday, is as follows:
GENTLEMEN: | close with this hour a
six years service as Speaker Of the House
of representatives, period surpassed in
length by but two ofmy predecessors, and
equaled by only two others. The rapid
mutations of personal and political for.
tune IN this country have limited the
great majority Of those who have occu.
pied this chair to shorter terms Of office.
II would be the grayest insensibility to
the honors and responsibilities of life not
TO be deeply touched by so sigma a mark
Of public esteem as that whivn | have
thrice received at the hands Of my politi.
cal associates. desire ina this last mo-
melt to renew to them, one and all. my
thanks and my gratitude.
The Speakership Of the American
House Of Representatives is post Of
honor, of dignity, Of power, Of reSponsi.
bility. Is duties are at once complex
nd continuous, they are both onerouS
and delicate; they are performed in the
broad light Of day, under the eye uf the
whole people, subject at all times TO the
closest observation, and always attended
with the sharpest criticism. | think no
other official is held TO such instant and
such rigid accountability. Parliamentary
rulings in their very nature are peremp.
tory almost absolute in authority and
instantaneous in effect. They cannot
always be enforced in such way as TO
win applause or secure popularity; but |
am sure that no man of any party who is
worthy TO ill this chair will ever see a
dividing line between duty and policy.
Thanking you once more, and thank.
ing you most cordially for the honorable
testimonial you have placed ON record to
my credit, perform my only remaining
duty in declaring that the Forty.thrd
Congress has reached its constitutional
limit, and that the House Of Representa-.
tiycs stands adjourned without day.

THE CHURCH ACCIDENT IN NEW YORK.


The pressure Of other matter has pre-
vented the publication Of any detailed ac-
count Of the terrible chu, ch accident in
New York, which the telegraph briefly
chronicled. We take the following from
the New York Sun Of the 26th of Feb.
ruary:
At half past s o'clock last evening
while Father Carroll Of st. Stephens was
in the midst Of an eloquent and impress.
i've Lenten sermon in St. Andrews church
in Duane street, the wall Of a building
adjoining the church was blown down by
the wind, heavy masses Of brick forcing
their way through the eastern side Of the
church roof. Immediately below the hole
in the roof, which was almost round, and
fully thirty feet in diameter, was the
eastern gallery. This was crowded with
worshippers, most Of whom were women.
The brick from the fallen wall, with
masses Of plaster from the church
ceiling and heavy timbers from the roof,
came crashing down upon these unfortu-
mates with crash like bolt Of thunder,
and with the suddenness Of fash OF
lightning. Several women, and more
than one man were crushed beneath the
debris, few being instantly killed, and
all receiving gsshes and bruises more or
less serious.
In an instant che whole congregation
up stairs and down we're on their feet,
and scene Of panic seldom equalled in

minutes--a period which seemed like an
age to most Of the participants. Fear

from the wounded, the cries Of hysteric

stood on the outskirts Of the surging
crowd, imploring mercy AZ the hands OF
the Almighty. Added to these noises
were the appeals Of the pastor and other

slowly Frozen % Death.

The Baltimore San gives the following
account of the man who was recently
found frozen TO death at Jones' Falls !:
''The footprints Of the unfortunate man,
as he walked to his death, were yesterday
thrillingly distinct, He must have been
on his way up town by the way Of Stiles
street after the snow had ceased to fall
which was at Sunday midnight. Stiles
street is the first street south Of Pratt
street, and begins at Jones Falls. At
the Falls are several piles Of boards along
tho brink and facing Stiles street.
Through an opening between these boards
the man walked to the edge and lost his
footing and Tell over upon the Recovered
water, twelve feet below. At the time
there was soft covering over the hard
ice and from the spot where he fell his
tracks could be followed as he endeav-
ored to find spot where the wall could
be scaled. Directly opposite Stiles
street, on the west side Of the falls, there
are several steps in the wall leading down
to the water. The man reached these
steps, placed one foot upon the lower one,
and by ascending the other two he would
have escaped. But, as if by some faulty,
he faltered, turned away, returned again,
and then started in zigzag course down
the stream, first crossing to one side and
then to the other, all the while evidently
seeking a place Of egress. If he called
for aid, no one heard his cries in that
lonely section. He passed a number Of
places where the ice was very thin, and
the wonder is he went so far
before the fatal spot was reached.
When 30 feet north of the Canton
avenue bridge, and Is from the eastern
wall, the ice broke. and he was plunged
into the water, which is there much be-
yond mans depth. Then began des-
perate struggle for life, for the ice was
broken for several feet around him on
every side. lie doubtless grasped the
edges Of the ice with his hands, and as
fragment after fragment gave way and
was broken off in his futile efforts to
draw himself out by its aid, he returned
again and again to the struggle, until,
overcome by the bitter cold, exhausted
nature succombed When life was ex.
tinct the ice formed so rapidly that it i'm.
prisoned the body before II could sink to
the bottom, and it was thus found yes
terday morning. The mans hat was
found six feet from the body, it, too,
firmly imbedded in the ice. After view
Of the spot where the unknown man met
his death it needed no stretch of the i'm
agination to depict the intensity Of his
suffering before relieved by death Z"

throughout the country is thu. Mr..
Bcecher is guilty. We cannot now think
Of 3 newspaper anywhere, Of any consid.
cradle importance, which maintains his
innocence. Until the beginning of the
present trial there were several that we're
on his side, but now they are either silent
or are outright against him. The follow.
ing extract from an elaborate article Of
the Courier-JoUrRdl expresses the pre-.
yailing opinion, though few state their
views in such broad language:
Really, there is little more to be said
either for cr against Mr.. Beecher. That
he is guilty is proven by mountain Of
evidence that he is innocent rests upon

1t seems to be inevitable that
a number of clerks, mechanics
and day laborers will be thrown
ont Unemployment before very
long. Added to the pecuniary
distress of the masses, we have
the much greater hardship OF
an unusual timidity on the
part of monied men, causing a
looking-up of capital, a general
stagnation in improvements
and a total absence of any
kind of speculation. The cir>
culating surplus of money has
gone either into the hands OF
official plnnderers, or into the
vaults Of soulless monopolies,
and in either case is beyond
the reach of ordinary industry.
