The printing steal was perhaps the
most glazing in its raids on the
funds Of the. state. 1t was known
as the Republican Printing Company"
and the principal men in the company
were the clerk of the house and the clerk
of the senate. The state paid these
men the fabulous sum of
S2,0C0.0OO OF the public money tor print

shows that four prices was paid for al

poured out like water, and the pun

paid large sums of money for their vote
In securing contracts. The actions c

vestigated, and rich developments ma
be expected.

The Eastern war Must Result i'm Good
TO America.

WHAT CALEB CUSHING THINKS.
WASHINGTON, May Caleb Cushings
opinion as to the effects of the war in
this country is substantially, In his own
language, that the war must result In
great good to this country. There Is,
no necessity for the large advance on
flour; that is speculative. If the fight
should be confined to Russia and Turkey
the demand tor breadstuffs would even
then be heavy, for the Russians will not
allow their cereals to be exported While
they are at war. Besides, the producing
classes will have to join the army: IL
threatens to be great war II England
gets into it. Then will come our oppor-
tunity to recuperate our commerce. we
will have to provide some way by whlci
we can gather in the English commercial
marine under our flag. 1t is destined tc
be Americas chance, and we must avail
ourselves of it. Russia and Turkey were
never better prepared for large struggle
so far IS men, arms and provisions are
concerned.

When Peter Crosby was sheriff of this
county. he could not give good bono.
and this caused a great deal Of turmoil
and strife. This lasted for long time,
and until J. T.. Gilmer. OF kcmper county,
came here and patched up sort Of bond
and took possession OF the negro
sherin's Office, as deputy. Before
he did this, he made contract
with Crosby, 30 that he lGllmerl
could secure the lions share OF
the emoluments Of the Office. In
q short time the two quarrelled, and the
negro Crosby wished to discharge his
deputy, Gilmer. Gilmer refused to be
discharged. and held his office by force.
This bad feeling was kept up, and eros
by worried Gilmer so much that he de.
termined to kill him. In pursuance OF
this cold-blooded design, he was enticcd
into the saloon opposite the court house.
While nc was standing at the bar taking
| a drink, with one or two others, Glimer,
who was behind the screen, shot nun
| lust under the eye. 1t was always
mystery to the public as to who dld the
| shooting. as Gilmer carefully
concealed his treacherous aud cowardly
act by causing all those in the saloon to be
| promptly arrested for the deed which Inc
himself had done. Crosby felt confident
that Gilmer did the shooting and said sc
when he thought his death was certain
but on finding out that he would recover
he let the charge against Gilmer drop. a.
| he was informed that If he persisted il
| it that his life would be the forfeit.
We are not in position to comment
on the horrible tragedy in kempeI
county OF Monday, because Of all the
actors we were only acquainted with
Gilmer. We know that he was cold
blooded assassin, and persons who know
his friends in that county tell us thai
they were his tit associates, II we ARE
correctly informed, there will be few re-
grets at their violent taking of.

AT LAST there seems to be a fair posi-
biity that the United States government
| will take etops that VIII afford An1ericar
citizens residing in Mexico that pretec-
ton which they have the right to demand
from it. During the last few weeks the
attention of the state department has been
called to the fact of continued and aggra-
waited outrages on Americans in Mexico.
Testimony of these outrages is given by
Americans Just returned from Mexico,
and when this testimony is reduced to
writing, As it will be Immediately, it will
be filed with the government as q part OF
"the case" which is accommodating against
the lawless Mexicans. The outrage upon
our consul at Acapulco stirred up the
government to send q gunboat to demand
his release. This stiffening of Uncle
Sans back bone Is hailed with delight
as a sign that a different policy will
shape his future relations with Mex
leo. There is considerable gossip
floating about Washington to the effect
that the present administration is de-
termined to take effective measures for
the protection of its citizeus everywhere,
and more particularly those whose lot
has been cast in Mexico. Just what
course will be taken Is not know. but
that something will be done that will
secure to Americans in Mexico that pro
lection to which they are entitled seem:
| to be certain.
