MESSAGE OF GOV. CHENEY.

CONCORD, June 1O.-Gov. Cheney's mes
sage, submitted to the Legislature ct noon,
fixes the State debt at $3,74l, $50, having
been reduced $85. 259 during the year. The
revenue of the State has been $505, 654, and
current expenses $42O, 1874 Ga. He alludes
to the necessity of Constitutional Conven-
ton during the current year, and favors
abolishing the religious test.
He favors the maintenance of the present
liquor law. He says the educational policy
of the State has not been as broad and liberal
as it should have been, and urges the found
ing of more advanced educational institu-
tons than at present exist. He invites the
attention Of the Legislature to an earnest
inquiry whether by legislation the purity Of
elections can be more effectually protected,
and condemns the system Of over represent
alton.
It may be we'll to inquire, he says, whether
the statute requiring the full christian name
of candidates lor Office to be written or printed
upon ali ballots, is not liable to be 80 con-
strued as to defeat rather than accomplish the
purpose of its trainers. The message closes
with hearty commentator Of the approach

A sKIRM1sH AT THE COURTHOUSE

It is difficult to say why 80 many practical
iokers have from time immemorial been con-
nected with the clerks offices at the Court
House. There may be something in the air
about Jackson Square which has the effect Of
producing this trait of character, or it may
be by opposition the long days labors
amongst the dingy records tend to create a
love for the laughable. However the cause
may be, those who habituate the building can
recall long roll Of dry humorists, noted for
their mirth- provoking pranks.
It was not long since, whilst the jovial Col.
|P. occupied thu position Of Clerk Of the Fifth
District Court, that laughabls little incident
hapr ened, and will be recalled by many. The
summer vacation had commenced, and the
silent corridors seldom echoed to lawyers
footstep, and the clerks were suffering consid-
erably from ennui. Anything that brought a
change was pleasurable. A sad wsg, named
Philip. purchased long glass tube and a
paper of peas. and, thus amused, began q
fusilade, shooting loungers in the square, and
passing cartmen.
OQ0 HItcIuOOu s1AAs OA0"Ay COAA "a A~AAAA
was leisurely cleaning out the cutters oppo-
site the courts when an Indian bearing
basket of herbs and sassafras passed along,
and being fatigued, laid down his burden
near the step where the corporation man was
at work. Phil took the situation in at q
glance. Fitting . pea in his bio w-gun, he
sent it on it's errand, and it struck the laborer
on the cheek. He glanced ct the Indian near
him, but said nothing Another shot with
like accuracy, and he broke out:
eyer cowardly Indian spalpeen. Of the
likes Of yer thry that agen, bedad I'll MUIR
Their ye." ;.
The Indian in his innocence thought this
an opportunity to make trade, and taking
from his basket bunch of sassafras root,
offered it to his friend. Another pea from the
court house told the tale. It took Michael
| full between the eyes. This was too much.
he let 90 . tremendous blow that overturned
the Indian, roots and all and then they went
at it on the banquette, sometimes the roots.
sometimes the Indian, but generally Michael
on top.
At last the passers-by interfered and separ.
sted them. Mike got up, wiped the perspir'
alton from his face and gave one long whistle
as he glanced up at the window. All, the
Young devil r. said he, ."its thss broth of q
boy, Phil, in the Court House that's the cause
Of it all, Eff he hadn't naturalized me, I'd
give him q touch, too. Mr.. Indian, I'll take q
dimes worth of those red sticks for the
dressing give you, and well call it square.
And both walked of.

Who had committed suicide by jumping into

followed the matter up. and, going to the
Fifth Precinct Station, Capt. Rey detailed
Special Reidan to accompany the reporter.
Accordingly, they proceeded to the corner OF
Montegut and Greatmen streets and inter-
viewed Mrs. Cooney, who states:
have known Mr.. B0len for long time.
He has been taking his meals at my house.
At o'clock on Wednesday afternoon he
was here. but seemed rather Tightly, and
had peculiar wild and unsettled stare about
his eyes and complained of suffering from
severe headache.
When dinner was over he bid us good
bye, and said ''You may not see me again.
When I missed him yesterday and heard
of his clutches and hat having been found. l
remembered that about three weeks ago he
came into the house and said: "Well, am
going where none Of you will ever hear Of
me will drown myself.
Whereupon he went out Of the house and
started for the river. dispatched two men
after him who prevented his committing the
act. He said: ''This time you have prevented
me, but next time will accomplish my end. :"
Mrs. c. Henderson,, residing at 7lO Ram
part street, was then interviewed, who stated
that she had adopted Mr. Bolen when his
parents died; that when he was q baby he
fell down flight of stairs, which crippled
him for life.
He has for some time past been very much
in love with q young lady who refused him on
account of his misfortune. He then went to
Mrs. Henderson and said:
81 am q miserable man and will kill my
self; yes, will drown myself in the river;
you will never find me, but I will leave my
crutches where they can be found, and then
you will know my fate"
BE then went to his sisters house and bid
her farewell, saying, "You will find every

At the house, No. no, was found his last will,
in which he bequeathed few articles of jew

He has, it is stated, always lead q sober life
until very recently when he began to drink to

lection by the lady of his affections. His
