The Conviction Of Robert L, Case.
s;5ha4 seisa e---
As we read the reports of Robert L.
Cases conviction yesterday on q charge
Of perjury, and see him in imagina-
ton as he enters the City Prison to
await his sentence, an old man. long
an honored merchant of this city, now
bowed and broken under his crime and
his conviction-as we see him thus our
hearts are moved to pity, and truly
we may give him some part of our
pity as his dessert. We pity his condi-
ton and his sorrowfu1 future; still
more we pity him for his guilt, which
is heavier burden than any load of
punishment can be. He is a wrecked
life, and worse still, it is life wrecked
in port after the voyage has been sue
.cessfully made. 1t is a sad spectacle
which we see, in whatever way we may
look at it. It is sad to think that so
old and SO long honored man must
20 to prison and wear the livery of
proved guilt, but it is infinitely sadder
to know that this old man, after lead
ing an honorable business life, passing
safely through all the temptations
which beset men in mid-career, and
arriving at time of life when the Sc
renee contemplation of the past ought
to have brought the richest content
ment, has deliberately fallen into sin
and made himself a felon for gain
which he did not need.
His case is tragical one, and we can
well afford to pity him, but it will not
do to forget that some pity is due also
to the victims of his crime. It will not
do to forget that to the sin of false
swearing he has added an attempt, by
false swearing, to delude men to the
ruin of their wives and children, to in
duce men to place the money that they
can lay aside for the support of their
widows and orphan children in the keep
ing of rotten and dishonesty managed
corporation.

THOMAS BRANNoN, an attorney at Missouri
Valley junction, recently committed suicide
by shooting Whisky and domestic troubles
got the better of him. About noon, on the

wife, which resulted in his ignominious de-
feat. Soon afterward he entered the tele-
graph office, bade the operator farewell,
stepped outside, and deliberately shot himself,
the ball taking effect In the side Of his head,
near the ear. He died in the evening.

~ Leon Trousdale, State Super.
intendent of Public Instruction,
writes a sharp and timely letter to
County superintendent. He re.
minds these officers that the late
Legislature abolished them in toto,
and that their lives were only saved
by the veto of the Governor, and he
tells them plainly if they do not use
more energy in the future the next
session will finish them up forever.
Says Mr.. Trousdale,
At all events, must frankly say
to them. that, if they continue in
many of the counties TO slur and
neglect their important duties, rs
in many cases as they have hereto
fore done, the next General Assem-
bly, will, in my opinion, abolish the
Office, as the present would have
done had not the Executive sanction
been withheld, and thus the act failed
TO become a law. The Governor be-
lieves, as | do, that the office of
County Superintendent is necessity
to the efficiency of any sound pub
lie school system. and herce with
held his sanction and saved the
office, for the present. To avoid its
abolitioa hereafter and thus vindi-
cate the wisdom of the Executive,
give this timely warning, and earn
estly exhort all County Superinten-
dents now holding the Office, to
scrupulously and intelligently dis
charge all their duties, and, by their
zeal and efficiency, convince their
fellow citizens of the necessity ofre-
tanning an officer who is the right arm
of the free school system, where
ever and whenever his office is wisely
and vigorously administered.

Let man start out with determine.
ton TO make living without work,
and nine times out of ten he will
bring up in Jail. The Abingdon, Va,
Standard of last week tells us how a
scoundrel was getting in the green
backs in that region.
Mr.. j. R. Francis, who came to Alb
ingden from Montgomery county last
fall and opened Hotel. was arrested
on Tuesday last by Mr.. j. D. MINIS,
Special Agent of the Post Office
Department. on charge of using the
U. S. Mails for the purpose of swind-
ling. Mr.. Francis has, for several
months, been writing to parties
throughout the country, under the
assumed names of G. G.. Barr, and
Col. j. G. Cone. stating that he was
in confidence with the Post Office
officials, and could secure appoint
ments of agents, detectives, &C.,
which he would do for the sum Of
1920, the money to be used in pur-
chasing books, papers, &C., for the
business. He proposed that the one
appointed, should receive So per
day and expenses. OF course he
kept the 81 20, and that was the end
of it. MIR. MINIS mailed him an
application at Christiansburg. and
and at Osceola, containing marked
money, and upon detecting the re-
cipient of them, arrested him. Mr..
NJ. informs us that the game has
been going on for some time, and
that there are victims to the swindle
all through Southwest Virginia. The
case was set for hearing next Tues
day before Commissioner Glider

els was confined in Jail.

After sketching the course taken
by the Nichols Government and its
supporters, the Legislature alludes
to them and Hayes's negotiations as
follows:
We condemn such conduct, and
will never countenance or encourage
it. They are already prosecuting

soUTH CAROLLNA IS FREE

A letter dated Columbia. April 10
gives up the following brief account
of the evacuation:
Promptly at II O'Clock. noon, the
troops occupying the State House
were drawn up in ranks in the CORR
doris of the Capitol, and at the word
of command were marched out of the
south door of the buildings, and
thence to their barracks, distant half
a mile from the State House. About
one hundred spectators witnessed the
evacuation, the majority of whom
were colored. The utmost quiet and
order prevailed throughout. The
crowd quietly dispersed after the
departure of the troops.
