but gave the school fund her non-negotia-
bic bonds for it. Republican orators and re-
publican papers have boosted much of this
stroke OF financial wisdom but the people
have never been able to see it in the rosy
light of these political economists It was
simply robbing Peter to pay Paul-chang-
ing one obligation for another
Governor Hendricks makes some startling
statements about the cost OF conducting the
benevolent institutions of the state. They
are worthy of the gravest consideration and
no doubt will receive it at the hands
of the legislature. 1t is evident that
great saving can be made in
their management, and 1t is the duty
Of the representatives OF the people to cur
tail expenses in every way it can be done
without impairing the efficiency of the
public service. There is no more reason
why the state should support the families of
the officers OF these institutions than that
she should feed and clothe those of her
other officials.
Governor Hendricks quotes from his In
augural address in reference to his views in
regard to a change in our election laws so as
to make fraud upon the ballot-box more
difficult. The legislature will do we'll 10 adopt
his suggestions for they cover the whole
ground. If they are accepted and become
the law of the state. our ballot-boxes will be
as carefully guarded as it will be in the
power of legislation TO do il.
Governor Hendricks closes his message by
denouncing the interference with the South
Carolina legislature by the soldiers of the
United States. This is the only part of il
which will be criticised By the republican
press, but he tells such wholesome truths in
so forcible way that what republicans
may say can not brake their force 1t is
dangerous, and the people know it, for
corporal Of the guard to determine the quail
itications OF the members of the
legislature OF sovereign state.
Were the thing attempted in Indi-
ana, we believe that even republicans would
protest against it. but being done in South
Carolina, they seem indifferent about it.
No patriot can read what Governor Hen
bricks says upon this subject without feel
ing that great crime has been committed
against republican government. We need
hardly commend the message 10 the careful
consideration OF our readers, for, like every
thing that comes from it's distinguished
author, it will not be necessary for the press
to commend it 10 ensure its careful consid-
erauon by the people.

Cucidity the Motive for a Doable
Tragedy I'm Georgia.

IAtlants Dispatch-t to the New York Herald.I
A double tragedy in the adjoining county
to this created good deal of excitement
here on last Wednesday night. Jim Jack
son, of Decatur. went to Jack Thompsons
house at Stone Mountain, and at O'clock in
the morning decoyed Thompson from the
house on the plea that a friend of his who
intended leaving for Texas early in the
morning, wanted 10 exchange 500 in gold
for greenbacks at par. The next morning
Thompson was missing, and on Friday Jack
son was arrested. Thompson's pistol and
about $50 in money, $50 bill which was
identified, were found on Jackson's person.
On Saturday $3.50 of Thompson's money
was fund concealed in Jackson's house, and
yesterday Thompson's body was found
buried near Jecxson's house, and il was
proved that Jackson had dug the grave the
evening before the murder was committed.
Last night mob was collecteds for the pur-
pose of lynching and the sheriff made pre-
partitions to defend the Jail with a posse OF
sixty men. jackson, fearing the mob or the
consequences of the law, committed suicide
in the early part of the night by choking
himself with pocket handkerchief. Hear
ing of Jsckson's suicide the mob dispersed,
grumbling at being cheated out of the death
sport Much excitement still prevails
Thompson was highly respected and much
loved By all who knew him.

DETAILS OP THE FRAUD.
How the Florida Canvassing Board Man
aged 10 Count the state for Hayes.

lTallabasse Special 10 the Cincinnati En-
quirer.l
McIin and Cowgirl finally thought il best
to make show OF compliance with the or
ders Of the court, and about p. m. notified
the attorney general 10 meet them at the
office of the secretary of state at O'Clock.
They met after o'clock and have just con-
Guided another canvass but arrived at a most
unsatisfactory and tortured result In Baker
county they have taken the false return
made by the county judge, wherein
two prcin.ts were omitted, when they
had the true and full return be-
fore them made by the county clerk, and
this last return the board counted as the
true one in the canvass made by them on
the 9th inst In Clay county the board has
been guilty of disregard of the order Of
the court which that body will hardly over
look. In this county the county canvassers
excluded from their county returns one pre-
cinct because the election officers did not ap-
pear TO have been sworn. but the county can
vas~ers had accompanied their return with
the vote from this precinct for the informsr
ton of the state board with all the
facts. The state board, in their pre-
yious canvass, added the vote Of this pre-
einct TO the returns, and counted il.
This addition the court told them
they had no right TO make. but must count
the return before them. They have. In the
canvass to-day: thrown out the entire return.
The result of the canvass this evening is le5
majority for Drew and 206 majority fog
Hayes, whereas a proper canvass. under the
order OF the court, would give 497 for Drew
and 81 for Tilden. Attorney General Cooke
files his protest against the action of the
board in Baker and Clay. and against count
ing the return from Duval, because this last
was in precisely the same fix as the return
which they counted from Baker.
The court reassembles tomorrow, when
We will know how far il considers the action
of the board IS in compliance with its plain
mandates. The Facilitating conduct of the
majority of the board shows that there haA
been immense outside pressure for count
for the Hayes electors. Attorney General
Cvcke, again being notified this morning
that the board would not recanyass, made a
canvass from the returns in the secretary of
states Office himself, as ordered by the
court, and his canvass shows the figures as
given above, All for Drew and 81 tor Tilden
-maiorties. This canvass he filed in the
clerks office as an answer to the court be-
fore the board finally agreed TO recanvass,
and this gives the only correct canvass that
can be made from the returns inside the
courts Instructions

The Evening Post says OF the Castellani
collection of antiques, now on exhibition ia
New York: Most of the works were taken
from excavations made in Italy. Among
the marbles are heads OF Apollo, Perseusy
Euripides, Alexander, Psyche, Sappho and
Cupid, some of them in the style OF Phidias
and Praxiteles. Among the bronzes are
caskets and toilet articles used by the ancient
Etruscan women, who. il seems. knew what
rouge boxes are. The ancient Greek and
Italian gold ornaments are valuable for the
excellence of their workmanship even more
than for their intrinsic worth; but the large
number and the scholarly arrangement Of
them enables the spectator to read a con-
secutive history OF the goldsrnith's art from
prehistoric times TO the thirteenth century.
Sienor Castelhni's collection contains
twenty cases OF these personal ornaments,
comprising prehistoric, bronze and amber
ornaments from Preneste, very early silver
and glass ornaments from Tarquinia. print
tive EtrUscan and Phenician ornaments, the
twentieth case containing thirty-one decora--
tons, orders, clasps, fibuln, etc, of the mid
die ages

GOVERNOR HESDRIcKs' MESSAGE

The message of Governor Hendricks. which
we publish to-day, is worthy Of the distin-
guished man who wrote it Its style is plain
and simple, but it is forcible. Its sentences
are smoothly written and constructed with
the care Of one who measures well what he
says. As literary production it is entitled
to high rank, but it isof its substance and
not of its form that we propose to speak.
Governor Hendricks treats the subjects
with which he deals in an eminently prac-
teal manner. He makes his points with the
precision of lawyer and the simplicity Of q
man of business. His statements are 50 made
that there is no mistaking his meanings He
gives clear and full exposition of the state
debt, and shows how the republican officials
paid off the old debt few years ago. 1t rs
true that he does not tell, in 50 many words,
bow IL was done, but he tells the Legislature
4aat the state owes the school fund nearly
four millions OF dollars. The state took the
