UNITED STATES DEPUTY MARSHALS.
q. WNNsBoRo, S. c., October 2, 1876.

Editors Columbia Register Il see from an
interview bad with the q. States Marshal, that
be contemplates appointing deputiea all over
the State to assist the supervisors and infiu.
ence the election. have waited until could
receive copy of the act passed by the last
Congress before giving what is the law on the
subject now can say that the United States
Marshal can appoint no such deputies except
in the city of Charleston. If any law giving
such authority exists, it has not been publish:
ed, or is not indicated properly in any index.
The law prior to June 10, 1872, allowed
supervisors and deputy marshals to be ap'
pointed for towns having above 10000 inhab.
itants only. On that date an act was passed
allowing supervisors to be appointed without
this restriction (17 United States Statutes,
34S, but enacted, nar "That nothing in this
section shall be so construed as to authorize
the appointment of any marshals or deputy
marshals in addition to those heretofore au.
tborized by law" The authority in this re.
spect is found in 16 United States Statutes,
The laws on this subject are compiled in the
United States Revised States in 1875, and are
to the same effect See page 357, section
2,O21, and page 35s, section 2,030, the latter
of which reads "Nothing in this title shall be
construed to authorize the appointment of any
marshels or deputy marshals ip addition to
those authorized by law prior to 10th Of June,
1852"
Taft's partisan order virtually admits this
to be the law but he calls the attention of
marshals to acts prior to June 10th, 1872, un'
der which they can appoint deputies. In
other words, he tells marshals that they may
pretend to appoint for one purpose and employ
for another purpose! A nice legal PROPOSE
ton for the Attorney General of great
nation
It must however, be borne in mind that law
must be found not only for the power of ap.
pointment, but likewise for the power of en-
ployment Now deputies appointed under any
United States statutes, are of two classes
general deputies" and "special deputies" "
The first are the ordinary and usual deputies
in regular app intment and employment by
the marshal. / suppose there are about four
such in South Carolina now. These have the
same powers as to the laws of the United
States, as deputy sherifs have to State laws
(see 1888 United States Revised Statutes }
Especial deputies" are those appointed under
any special act, for instance that of February
%, 1871. Taft himself points out this dis
tinction, and it is taken in words in section
2,022, referred to by him.
The special deputies, under the act OF Feb

Is THE Moon INHABITED i-This question
has long puzzled the human mind, but
French astronomer claims to have discovered
that it certainly is It was thought at one
time, that this question would besolved BY the
aid Of powerful telescopes, but it was ascer.
tanned that there was limit to their penetra.
ton, and that the interesting matter was still
in doubt. The most powerful telescope will
reveal no object on the surface Of the moon
that is less than sixty feet square, but some
one imagined that these objects might be pho
tographed and then magni6ed BY the micro
scope, and this was attempted. 1t was found,
however, that where this was done, all objects
were entirely effaced by the irregularities Of
the Photographic material, ,and nothing but
meaningless blank was left. 1t was necessary
to find medium or groundwork for the pic
ture so absolutely textureless that even the
most powerful magni6er could not unduly ex-
aeeernte it. The French gentleman above al
luded to claims to have found this naterialin
the ibres of the milk weed. Out Of these
fbres he has constructed kind Of paper
which defes the power of the microscope, and
he has succeeded in transferring to this paper,
pictures, which, under the magni6er, proves
the existence of animal life in the moon. Two
human beings, it is said, al, o be seen in this
picture, walking about, though from the fact
that their heads are pointing toward us, dis
tinct view is only to be obtained of their hats,
or that place where their hats ought to be.

DoN'T WORRY ABOUT YoURsELF.-To
regain or recover health, persons should be
relieved from all anxiety concerning dis
eases. The mind has power over the body.
For person to think he has disease, will
often produce that disease. This we see ct.
fected when the mind is intensely concentrated
upon the disease of another. It is found that
surgeons and physicians, who make aspeciality
of certain diseases, are liable to die of it
themselves and the mental power is so great
that sometimes people die Of disease which
they only have in Imagination. We have
seen q person sea-sick, in anticipation OF
voyage, before reaching the vessel. We have
known person to die Of cancer in the stom-
ach, when he had no cancer or any other
mortal disease. A blindfolded man, slightly
pricked in the arm, has tainted and died from
believing that he was bleeding to DEATH
Therefore, well persons, to remain we'll,
should be cheerful and happy /; and sick persons
should have their attention drawn as much as
possible from themselves. It is by their faith
that men are saved, and it is by their
faith that men die. If he wills not to die, he
can often live in spite Of disease; and if he
has little or no attachment to life, ne will
slip away as easily as child will fall asleep.
Men live BY their souls and not by their bo.
dies. Their bodies have no life, of them
selves they are only resources Of life-tene-
ments of their souls. They will have much
to do in containing the physical occupancy
or giving it up.-Journal Of Heath.

not aware of it" So the soldier came duly
to his post as captain Of Napoleon's Guard.

SHOT BY HORSE THIEVES.

A special to the Dubuque Herald
from Ackley says: For the last two
or three days (. farmer named John
Fahey living two miles north of
Ackley has had suspicious of
two men who have been lurking
about his premises, and had his
son man % years of age, sleep in the
barn to protect his horses. About
1 O'Clock last night the young man
was awakened, and upon going outside
discovered two men with their horses
about to leave. He ran to the house
and awakened his father, and then
went back to the barn, procured his
gun and fred at the thieves, without
serious effect. He then mounted
another horse, started for neighbor
and revolver, and then started down
the road to head them off. He noticed
two men on the road, but supposing
them to be his friends paid no atten-
ton to them and rode up to them, but
as soon as he was up within close dis
lance Of the thieves, one of them
jumped off and engaged hand to hand
with Fahey, soon Overpowering him.
The other then came on him placing
his revolver close to Fahey's heart and
fired, the ball passing through the
left lung. He Immediately fell, but
being full of pluck regained his feet.
One of the thieves told the other he
was shot, and to hurry up and get out.
Fahey then fired five shots at them as
they were going, with 10 effect, and
then fell where he was found by his
father in great distress, and taken to
his home. The country is wild with
excitement about the matter. It is
very doubtful whether Fahey will re-
cover, the doctor having no hopes for
him. The thieves have so far ESCAPED.
but if captured no mercy will be
shown to them. The horses have been
found.

A favorite way of bleeding the

from the quarterly ''license, which
he is obliged to ray by way Of forced

some petty violation of the law and
give him the alternative of paying an
enormous fine or going to the county
Jail. If he goes to Jail his pigtail is
cut off, which is to every chinaman a
terrible social and moral degradtion.
Rather than lose his pigtail the
