Execution of Franklin Scott at Mem

MEMPHIS, January Frank Scott,
co!ored, who murdered Ransom Phipps,
an old negro on Wolf river bridge, on
Christmas eve, 1874, about ninety cents
which the latter owed him, expiated his
crime on the gallows in the Jail yard to-

he killed Pnipps in self defense He
slept soundly last night. ate hearty
breakfast, expressed his readiness to die
and appeared quito jovial. He
was attended to the scatfold by
Friar Aloysius, who,had administered the
last rites of the church to him. Some
5000 people, mostly negroes, were con-
presated in the streets and on the house
tons to witness the execution. He made
a short speech on the scatlold, saying he
was convicted on fa:se oaths. In conclu-
sior he said the cords were cutting his
arms and he would rather be hanged at
las. Sheriff Anderson pulled the lever
and he le.l. His neck was broken and
be died almost without a struggle,
Bill Williams, colored, was hanged at
Bartlett at one o'clock by Deputy Sheriff
TAYLOR. He denied killing Joe Fields to
the last. Both these men had three trials,
the last being before the Supreme Court,
and the evidence against them was very
strong.

The Romance OF Charley Ross.

From the New York Herald.
The latest developments in the Ross
abduction case are not less remarkable
than the story of the abduction itself. 1t
Is now nearly two years since the child
was stolen, In the beginning, so far as
the public knew, the whole case was
shrouded in impenetrable mystery, and
in spite of those marvellous letters, OF
which Mr.. Ross was the recipient-mar-
vellous alike for the audacIty anc. brutal
ity-the police were in as great ignorance
as the public. 1t seems incredible that
this should have been the case, but at no
time has ordinary sagacity been shown
by the detectives in following up the
ciews in their hands. Had there been
any such thing as police efficiency In this
country, the romance of Charlie Ross
would not need to be written, for then
Mosher and Douglass would have been
arrested and the lost child recovered long
before the two burglars met their late at
the Van Burnt mansion at Bay Ridge.
1t is owing entirely to the imbecility
of the police, especially of this city
and of Philadelphia, that the search
for the boy has become hopeless.
and it is not surprising, under
all the circumstances, that even children
practise on the creduality of American
policemen. We may regard the boy
Blanchard, who undertook to personate
Charley Ross, as wonderful specimen
OF the youthful and precocious liar; but
his fairy tales would never have been
told il a want of ssgacity had not char
acterized the infringement OF the search
after the lost child from the
very outset. Even the lads fool
ish story, full as it was of unblush'ng
falsehoods, left days OF doubt AS
to young Blanchard's identity, and his
fabrications found many believers In
spite OF their improbability. For this
reason the St. Albans episode is Won
derful addition TO the romance OF the
Ross mystery. In itself the abduction
was heartrenderiDg, and the letters OF
the kidnappers made it even more ter,
rible. The tragic death OF Mosher ana
his companion and the subsequent convlc-
ton of Westervelt added to the interest as
we'll as the terror of the romance. All
the feelings of grief and fear which had
been excited in the beginning and were
kept alive by means of these unexpected
events were revived by the frequent
stories of the finding of Charley Ross
The latest story, and we trust the last
the fabrications of the Milford Lads
worse than any that preceded II, mostly
because of the universal belief in it and
the unjust reflections which grew out OF
it. Let US hope that the romance OF
Charley Ross is ended, unless, indeed
the police can clear up the mystery.

Mining Operation. stopped.

MUsKEJo, l. T., January The re-
cent decision Of the Secretary Of the In
terror peremptorily closes all mining
operations in the Choctaw Nation for the
present. The principal sufferers are the
Usage Coal and Houston, Dallas and
Texas Coal Companies, employing two
hundred hands, who are thrown out OF
work and must seek the States for work,
as there Is no labor for them in Indian
Territory at present. The decision Of
the Secretary is based on the undecided
interest of the Chicassw nation in the
minerals and timber of the Choctaws
and the joint action of the two national
councils is required to legalize contracts
of agents of either nation for the sale Of
coal and timber. This dec sion reverses
the approval of the late U. 5. Indien

made. A special session OF the Chlcasaw
Legislature will probably be asked for by

Installation OF Michigan State OH

ST. PAUL, January The State Off
GERS elected last Fall, took the oath OF
office to, day, in the presence of both
Houses of the Legislature. In accord
anee with the absurd custom Of previous
years, two messages were read to the
Legislature, one from the outgoing Gov
ernor, Davis, and one from the incoming
Governor, Pillsbury. The messages are
of the average length OF the Presidents
message. Matters discussed are exclu-
sively local. The finances Of the State
are in good condition. The balance in
the hands OF the Treasurer on the lst OF
December was sl30,245. Both messages
recommend liberal appropriation 10 on
able the State to make q creditable ap-
pearance at the Centennial show at
Philadelphia. The most important
recommendation of general inter-
est is also made by both Of the
Governors, namely, that immediate
steps be taken to bring about an honora-
BILE adjustment and the eventual pay
ment of the obligations of the State in
volved in the old repudiated State rail-
road bonds.
Gov. Pillsbury says: 81 am profound
ly impressed with the conviction that the
longer postponement of action looking to
the honost and full adjustment OF this
long-deterred Indebtedness, which must
inhict upon the fair name of the State
the inetiaceous stain of Reputation, and
l venture with the beginning of my Off
cial duties to commend this subject to
your serious and favorable action"
Gov. Davis, argues in favor Of arbi-
tration to determine the amount equits-
bly, due by the State to the holders Of the
bonds, as to the portion which we wrong
fully refuse to pay. The world will hold
that We repudiste as long as we deny
jurisdiction to any tribunal TO entertain
the question involved. l suppose that
when the claims of this Government
against Great Britain were first advanced,
on account of damages done by Confed-
crate cruisers, the English people were as
firmly resolved to pay nothing as any Of
our people to day are. But no man
and no nation ought to be the judge
in its own cases, and accordingly those
great governments constituted court at
Geneva and submitted to its jurisdiction
and abided by the judgment OF that
forum; an example worthy of the imitia-
ton of the Board. Commissioners COM
posed Of men eminent for their integrity
and judicial wisdom, could be invested
VITA jurisdiction to hear and deter
mine questions involved by consideration
of every equity, legal or moral, existing
on either side OF the controversy. 1t
can not be presumed that our people

their bonds were void in their inception
for any reason, or if they were procured
by fraudulent representation or unfaith.
