Jones and Cochran surrendered, Sharp

but was also arrested. Subsequent

released. The prisoners, accompanied
by the posse, were brought to Tomlinson

The Brotherhood of Tramps.

The Massachusetts authorities are in
vestigating the tramp from an inside
point Of view, and the result is interest
Ing. They send ont detectives in the
gulsc of tramps to travel with them and
learn heir habits and aims. and it is said
that these detectives find that the Mass
achHseits tramps are an organized broth
erhood, acting under the directions of a
chief and having regular duties assigned
them-some to beg and some to sea-.
1t is even said that they arc instructed
what to steal and whom to steal it from.
They 60 in gangs and are obedient to
the orders of their chief
AS an addition to our stock of knowl-
edge, this is valuable; but what are the
Massachusetts authorities going to do
with itY If they deal with tramps as
thieves they will have to imprison them,
and this will require five times as much
prison room rs the state now possesses.
A tramp's supreme ambition is to live
without work-to eat victuals earned by
somebody else's labor, without subject
ing his owe muscles to strain-and this
be would accomplish by getting inside
comfortable jail as well as by begging or
stealing from house.
Gen. Forrest, who owns a large plant
alton on Presidents island few miles
below Memphis, contracts with the au-
thorittes OF that city to take all those
Migrants and other offenders usually
punished by sentence to the workhouse,
or chain-gang, at ten cents day, and
he manages to get good deal OF work
out of them by treating them kindly,
but keeping them under strict discipline.
Some general application of this plan
would diminish the supply of Migrants.
increase the productions of the country,
and solve the tramp question at the
same time.--St. Louis Republican.

From the Finance Board.

LITTLE Rock, Arm, August IL, 1877.
Mr.. EDITOR Some misrepresentation
appearing to exist regarding the failure
of the State to make an annual loan, as
was expected, we deem it proper to say
word to the public on that subject.
We have used every effort in our power
to obtain loan, as contemplated by the
several acts of the Legislature, and on
the terms therein prescribed but so far
in vain. 1t is not true, as seems to have
been supposed, that the Board Of FL
nance sent Maj. John ID. Adams to New
York On mission OF that kind but the
Board has correspondent diret thy with
brokers and other large capitalists in
our large cities on that subject. Nari-
GUS reasons have been given Tor declining
the loan. 1t has been uniformly said that
the money market Was unusually strln-
gent. We have not known any one to
say positively that the security offered
was not good; indeed, we do not sec
how that could be said with any truth or
propriety. 1t has been sometimes said
that the act OF the last Legislature, low
ering the scrip tax, Imperfect the value
OF the security offered, but we do not
regard this suggestion as being based on
any good or sufficient reason. For,
While the Legislature lowered the scrip
tax, it increased the currency tax, aud
and thus increased the fund specifically
devoted to the payment of any money
borrowed for carrying on the State gov
ernment, n fund which cannot be divert
ed to any other purpose.
Whatever, then, may have been the
OF the act lessening the scrip
tax, 1t could not, in our opinion, in any
way tend to render the repayment OF
any money borrowed more precarous.
Respectfully, w. X. MILLER,
U. M. ROSE,

MURDER IN ARKANSAS COUNTY,
The Guilty Parties Lynched.

The following particulars of the MUIR
der of young Stockley and the arrest
and lynching Of the perpetrators, we
find in the Lonoke Democrat, of the 23
From Mr.. Lee, who is Just in from
Arkansas county, we learn of horrible
murder and the lynching OF the guilty
parties in that county a few days ago.
The victim being young Mr.. Stockley,
formerly of Memphis, but who for some
time past has been clerking for DR..
Chlldress, at Willamette, postotlice on
the Arkansas river, about twenty five
miles from Dewitt. Stockley was muir
dered on the night Of the l5th inst, and
when found next morning was in the
store-room in his night clothes with his
throat cut from ear to ear and Il shot
through the head and arm. The muir.
dercrs had aroused him alter he had
retired for the night, to get hat, and
while he was getting the box containing
the hats the shot was fired, the same ball
passing through bis head and arm, their
object of course being robbery. A thor
ough investigation was made in regard
to the perpetrators, and suspicion tell
upon two negroes, one Of whom CON
tessed the crime and implicated his com
panion and three other negroes, whose
names were given, and from many other
circumstances the statement was believ-
cd, and party at once got together,
hunted up the three accomplices, and
with the five started for Dewitt, but
only got as far as Pecan Point, about
hall way, when the five were hung by
the mob. We are informed by Mr.. Lee
that no officer was along with the posse,
but that the negroes were all arrested by
parties residing in the neighborhood
where the murder was committed. No
doubt the officers will take PROMPT
measures to arrest the mob who took
the law into their own hands, and ifneed
be, we feel sure Gov. Miller will offer II
reward for their arrest. Mob violence
must be put down and the ends OF JUS
tice reached through the proper chan
nels.
The Van Buren press. [volume] (Van Buren, Ark.) 1859-1914, 1877-08-28

An old man named Lebow, villain,
murderer and horse thief, was hung by q
party of men last week in Polk county.
for foully numbering two men, who were
travelling in the direction Of Hot Springs.
Lebow has been q terror to the citizens
of Polk county for number Of years
Living on the public highway, many
travellers have lost their horses and
who has been employing his time for
years in murder and highway robbery.
Travellers have been warned to shun his
house and avoid him in every way, and
now that he has departed for that undis-
covered country, the citizens Of Polk
are at rest.-F. s. Independent.
From Judge Huckleberry, who has
Just returned from Scott county, we
learn that it is all mistake about Lebow
having been hung: and although he
does not bear very good name, he is
not as bad rs represented. Judge
Wheeler must have been wofully misin-
formed.
