BENJAMIN F. WADE died last Sat-
urday morning at his village home
at Jefferson, Ashtabula county, Ohio.
Mr.. Wade was in his seventy eighth
year. He was born at Springfield,
Massachusetts, October 81, 1900.
His parents were among the earliest
emigrants from the Connecticut val
lev to the Western Reserve. The boy
worked on a farm during summer
and attended district school during
winter, teaching as he grew older,
until 1926 he read law, aud two years
later he was admitted to the bar.
His progress as lawyer and politician
was rapid. He was elected County
Prosecuting Attorney in 1885, and
two years later went to the State
Senate, of which body he was twice
elected President. In 1847 he was
chosen as PFeNdipg Judge of bis
circuit, and in 1851 was elected as q
free-soiler to the United States Senate,
and again in 1857 and 1858, serving
continuously in that body for eighteen
years, amid the most exciting period
Of our political history.

STANFORD / co.'s BILL.

The Daily Exchange is making a
determioed fight against a bill
now being lobbied in the California
Legislature by Stanford, Croker q
Co., whereby they hope to open the
way to gobble the lots of private
owners around Mission Bay and Po-
trero under the right Of eminent do
MAN," and of course the operation
Of the law would apply in every part
of California where their railroads
extend. =
The Exchange says: "This precious
production provides that at any time
after service OF summons, before or
after judgment, or pending an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court, the court
from which the summons is issued,
or Judge thereof, at chambers, must
authorize Stanford, Croker & Co., to
take possession Of and use the prop
erty they want. But they must de.
post in the State Treasury such an
amount in ooin as may be required
by the court or judge thereof, at
chambers, as fund to pay for the
property they wish to take, out Of
which such an amount Is to be paid,
if it is large enough, as the owner
might finally recover, etc.
ITO sum up this iniquity, it simply
provides way Of taking, under the
guise of eminent domain any ones
property and giving it to Stanford 8
Co., provided they lodge in the State
Treasury such an amount as judge
in chambers may, on ex parte hearing,
think it worth. This railroad pet
bill, which makes the judge, in
chambers, the sole judge of the value
of mans property, does not men,
ton or provide for damages, and does
not even give the owner the benefit
of jury to fix the value and dam.

ARKANSAS POLITICS.
DIR. Grigsby Speaks for Himself in Cor
rectiOn OF Correspondence Hitler
to Published Concerning the
Senatorial Contest.

CRITTENDEN CoONTY, ARK, May 21.-ln

tics, and signed by numerous citizens of
Crittenden county, Arkansas, which appeared
in last Thursday AUalanche, l find the fol-
lowing: AFTER the result was known, DIR. A.
S. Grigsby and Jas. L. Barton, Esq the rec
ognized leaders of tine Earle party, were called
upon, and responded by declaring themselves
ready to support Major Cnttenden as the
choice of the Democracy of this county for
the senate. In the course of DIR. Grigsby's
remarks, referring to his opposition to Major
Crittenden, he said that after the convention
had gone into the yard he saw In the Critten-
Democrats to satisfy him that Major Critten-
den had majority in the convention" And
as this statement very materially misrepre-
sents me, both in language and sentiment,
feel it incumbent upon me, In justice to Ma
jor Earle and his friends, who will contest
Major Crittendens claims to nomination,
to publicly and emphatically deny that de-
clared myself ready to support Major Critten-
den as the choice of the Democracy of this
county, or that i admitted that Major Crit

JUDGE j. l.. Il. SNEED
The Choice of the Hardeman County
Democracy for Judge OF the Su-
preme Court Of the state
Proceedings of the Con-
VentiOn at Bolivar.

Saturday, May 18th, at Bolivar, Tennessee,
the convention met by call of the executive
committee, General r. P. Nicely, chairman,
and called the convention to order. On mo-
ton of A. T. M'Neal a committee was ap-
pointed on permanent organization, and
thereupon the committee reported Colonel ].
r. Rossen, of district No. 10, as permanent
chairman, and James Richardson, secretary.
The chairman, IN a brief speech, stated the
object OF the convention was to select dele
gates to represent Hardeman county in the
judicial convention at Nashville, May 20,
1878. On motion of James Fentress, jr., each
district was allowed to retire and select its
delegates to said convention, who reported
number from each of the nineteen districts
Colonel Edward Becton, of Grand Junction,
moved the following resolution, which was
adopted:
WHEREAS, We are assembled in county
convention for the purpose of appointing del
egates to represent Hardeman county in the
judicial convention to be held at Nashville
on the twenty ninth day of May, 1873, and
to express what we believe to be the choice of
our county for supreme judges; and whereas,
we have no wish to speak unkindly or dis
paraglngly of the claims of any other gentle
man, yet we know John l.. L. Sneed, son
of Hardeman county, to be the choice OF our
people, therefore, be it
Resolred, That they are hereby instructed
to cast the vote of Hardeman county solld for
John L. T. Sneed SO long as he may have
reasonable chance of election.
Res0lred, That, having full confidence In
the sound discretion of our delegates, we give
them no other instructions, but leave them
free to act for the best interest of the State,
according to the circumstances as they may
present themselves to the convection

doubtedly be thrown out, yet am also salts
fed, counting as well as l could by nv eve,
that Major Crlttenden had a small majority,
ranging from one to FIVE, of those whom |
should be compelled to recognize as Demo-
Gratis, and believing this l cannot, as an hon
orable man, fight him any longer" Which
analysed means simply this: That no ballot
was ever taken, and, consequently, that no
delegates were ever elected; that counting
the men admitted by resolution previously
passed, Major Crittenden had, in my opinion,
small majority; and that l, believing we
should respect SAID resolution, was I'M
willing to continue the wrangle. This
resolution permitted any man who would
pledge himself to vote the State and district
Democratic tickets In future to participate in
the convention, and, Notwithstanding my
suspicious of the bad faith of some admitted
under it, did not see how l could conscien-
hously, or even parliamentary, exclude
them. 1t was simply question for them to
decide. In conclusion, therefore, | suggest,
as an agreed statement of facts, that the
Earle men frankly admit the passage of the
above resolution, and that under its operation
Crittenden had majority, and that the Crit
tenden men as frankly admit that no vote was
ever taken, and that the majority claimed by
them was composed of men admitted under
said resolution. For, if the Crittenden men
insist upon the resolution admitting doubtful
Democrats and Republicans, they must also
abide the one requiring, most explicitly,
vote by ballot. They cannot rightfully insist
upon one and ignore the other.

In yesterday mornings APPEAL appeared

"MARIoN, ARK, May 20, 1873.
'EDIToRs Colonel Jesse S. Order,
sheriff of this county, took sick this morning
at half-past five o'clock and died at nine
clock tonight. His disease was pro-
nonnced by his attending physician as bilious
collie. c. L. LYLEs."
The death was so sudden and unexpected
that the friends and relatives of the deceased
suspected, or believed, that his death was
the result of foul play, and consequently it
was decided that post norton examination
of the body should be had in this city. The
remains of the deceased was placed In the
undertaker's establishment of Hoist & Bro,,
and the pOSt-ntortem examination was made
by DIR. Rogers and son, assisted by DR.. Heber
Jones. The stomach and contents were re-
moved, but nothing of a suspicious character
was discovered. The contents of the stomach
will undergo chemical analysis, and the re-
suit will be anxiously awaited. The physi-
clan who attended Sheriff Order at the time
of his death was not present to give detail
of the symptoms developed previous to death.
Yesterday afternoon the remains of Mr.. Girl
der were sent to Helena, Arkansas, for inter-
ment, uia the steamer Illinois. Sheriff Girl
der's wife and brother are buried at Helena.
HIS death is much regretted by host of
personal friends, residents of this city.
