CANNES CAEsE CASH
To the Amount Of SIS 30 10 Leave N
Yousg Mans Peeket.

Before Justice Chidsey, on last Satur-
day, young gentleman Of Scranton ap.
peared 10 show cause why he should not
be held liable in damages for staying an
aged canine, the same being the prop
erty of another citizen of our city. In
answer to the query Of the Squire: ''Did
you shoot the doe?" the defendant. in
the language OF our Teutonic friends,
exclaimed "N,xi but l furnished the
ammunition which did cause the death
of the aforesaid purp, besides divers
and suudry other snar.ing ours which
nightly infest our quiet and lovely vii
lage." Afts r able argument on the side
of the defendant, whereby was por-
trsyed in the most pathetic manner the
annoyance and loss of sleep occasioned
by "Ioose" CANNES of the town, the
m after was amioabDy adjusted by the
defendant paying over to complainant
the sum of $l5. and settling the costs Of
the Case.

From the Mississippi Times We learn
that OH Tuesday night of last week
negro by the name Of Esstc Qninn en-
tered the room of Mr.. E. NJ. Yates
daughter. at Spring Valley. sumner
county, for the purpose of committing
the most heinous or me known. His
entrance awakened the young lady and
some children who were sleeping in the
room, and their cries aroused the father,
who, with several neighbors, pursued
the villain, but were unsuccessful in
capturing him. MFR. Yates offers q
handsome reward for his capture. The
negro is described as being OF medium
height, black, weighs 175 pounds, ana
is y yeals old.
Mississippi Times: There was sad
occurrer CO last Saturday at Wetsser, in
Winston county, the main features of
which we give below as detailed by an
eye witness; Is was court day, magic
irate's court, an Messrs. Hamp Turner
and Rob Patten ere there, opposing
counsel in case tEen on trial. A ques-
ton of law arose aud there was some
little alteration b. tween these gentle-
men which then and there resulted IN
little ii t-to-fst fight, but both parties
being unarmed they were separated un-
hurt and the affair regarded as without
any significance. But after the court ad-
lourn, d D. ch, as il anticipating the
other, armed himself with a pistol, and
as the crowd which bad been attending
court we're about dispensing they came
to-, ether, when severe, argry aud
threatening words we're passed, and is
seems a proposition was made to Tur-
ner by Patten to shoot it out, whereupon
bo,n parties drew pistols, and Turner
getting the first shot. owing to an in-
effectual attempt of Patten to prepare
his pistol, killed him instantly. Turner
was immedi itely srraigned before Jus
tices Metts and Tate, ami upon exami-
nation acquitted. one or both OF whom
witnessed the whole affair.

The Finn Judge.

The five Democratic Senators and Repre-
sentatives on the mixed tribunal will vote to
receive and count the certificates of the TIL
den electors, and the five Republicans to re-
ceiye and count those Of the Hayes electors.
This reposes the determination Of the
case with the Supreme Judges. Justice
Field, OF California, and Justice Clifford, OF
Maine, are both Democrats and can be relied
upon in the question of acting with their Con-
gressional confreres. Justice Miller, of Iowa, ,
and Strong, of Pennsylvania, are Republicans,
and the same mutdtis mutdndis may be pre-
dicted of them. This narrows the decision
tot the fifth Judge, and in reality
destroys the usefulness of the other fourteen
functionaries, whose opinions arc known b y
the whole world before they act. From this
1t will be seen at once that the mixed
tribunal is simply a high joint circumlo-
cution. Through this high joint contrivanco
they are to get the opinion of one of the Su-
preme Judges, and that opinion is to be
equivalent to a majority OF forty millions of
people. The matter could have been settled
on the Sth of November by simply requesting
the "Fifth Judge"-thc now great unknown
TO mention the person whom he would like TO
see President, and all this trouble would have
been settled. The Democrats would have
saved the six millions they spent in the can
yass, the negroes of the South would not have
been murdered and Cronin's nose would have
remained In comparative obscurity.

The subcommittee Of the Senate investigat-
ing the Mississippi election are unearthing
Hhsmeless monster Of crime In the shape Of
Democratic party In that State. Testimony
has already been taken of sufficient weight to
sink that party into oblivion at the hands Of
justice and law.
This testimony proves that the Democratic
party Of Mississippi not only broke down the
constitutional safeguards of the citizens, but
destroyed their lives and starved their families,
and outraged their wives, and raped their
little ones, and burned their homes, and stole
their property, and robbed the Commonwealth
by these means of q aforty-thousand Republican
notwithstanding the State, legislative branch
and gubernatorial root, without respect to law ,
common decency or humanity.
The committee are doing effective work in the
interest of an outraged race and against the
lawlessness and crimes of party which boasts
Of its popular majority and ability to bull ldoze
itself into national supremacy. Their report
will be interesting reading to those who have
been willing to accept compromise through
the threats and hostile attitude Of clustering
demagogues.
