Resignation Of Judge Mackey.

that number of the circuit judges Of this

Mackey, of this circuit, rendered bis resigna-
tion in the following characteristic style:
COLUMBIA. January %, 1878.
HI, Ezcellency Wade Hampton, Governor:
DEAR S1R-The Supreme Court having de-
cided in the case of the State Us. A. j. Shaw,
Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit, that his
election in 1876 by piua voce vote was un-
constitutional, and, therefore, void; and as
was elected in the same mode, l hereby re-
spectfully tender my resignation of the Office
of Circuit Judge. While am aware that
am not included by the judgment rendered
in the case stated, not having been party to
tho record, yet deem it proper that should
thus relieve the General Assembly of any en-
barrassment in the premises. There are cir
cumstances which, transpiring Immediately
before the decision of the Court was rendered,
NAV furnish pretext abroad to give this
impartial judgment of the highest tribunal
of the State political significance, and L,
therefore, express my earnest conviction that
this decision reflects the conscientious judg-
ment of the Court, rendered without respect
to persons or political parties, in accordance
with its highest convictions of duty. l have
the honor to be, very respectfully, your obs-
dent servant, T. j. MACKEY.
Judge of the Sixth Circuit.

Fire Last Night.

About 10 o'clock last night fire broke out
in barn belonging to Mrs. Bridget WEIGH,
on Fuller street, little west of Western
avenue. The place was remote from the
WAFER supply, and although an engine was
shortly on the ground it could do nothing
towards extinguishing the flames, and the
barn was totally consumed, together with
Its contents. A horse valued at 1925, COW
worth $40, set of harness, buggy and
sleigh, besides ton of hay and a quantity of
feed, we're burned. The loss on the barn
will reach 5000; on the contents about $780,
There is an insurance of $500 on the prop
erty. The loss falls heavily on Mrs. WEIGH
and her son, who is the only support of q
large family, and by his industry and frugal
ity had accumulated sufficient to build the
barn and purchase the horse and COW. The
cause of the fire is unknown.

The Circus.

The performances at Coles circus seemed to
give complete satisfaction to the immense
audiences gathered to witness them The per-
formances in the ring were unusually good and
the specialties were all that was claimed for
them. Conklin's performance with the lions
and leopard was bold and daring one. and
yet appeared from the power he had over
the brutes to be no more risky
than fondling pet kittens. Mr. and
Mrs. Bates attracted immense attention from
their colossal size and sssendid proportions
as well as from their affability and courteous
demeanor. 1t was picture to see these tower
ing forms stoop and shaking hands with little
children talk with them affectionately. The
animals in the Menagerie were in good condi.
ton, and the $50 horses were splendid creatures
and we'll cared for. The circus visits Saltwater

day; st. Cloud. Friday; Anoka, Saturday, and

Boston Globe.
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll was registered at
the Parker house yesterday, and representa-
tive of the Globe, noticing his name on the
register, called upon him at his room to get
his opinions on the Potter resolution and its
possible effect.

cess. Mr.. Hayes occupies the Presidential
chair, and, as natural consequence, re-
spect him; but have nothing to say about
the matter. l think as much now as ever
| did about Hayes. Do you understand me? He
was not my choice. Blaine, of Maine, was,
is, and shall always be my candidate.
Hayes is weak man. He placed himself in
antagonism to his party. I don't mind so
much his treatment of Southern Repub-
licans, but he has proved unfaithful to his
Northern constituents. To tell you the
truth am Republican. and l believe in
Republican doctrines l am with Conkling,
Blaine, and Edmunds against this
shilly-shally display of Southern ameliora-
ton tell you he has gone back upon his
real friends. believe that Hayes was hon
estly elected, but also honestly believe that
the electoral commission was unconstitution-
al. Now you see am out of politics, and
expect to be until the next election, ana
perhaps even then I won't have q
hand in the matter. Now, in regard
to the Potter resolution of investigation. 1

Southern men. They neglected national poll
tics for State affairs. In regard to the cleo
ton of David Davis as Senator, that was
an accident; don't think that either party
intended that he should be elected. The
electoral commission of course was partisan.
No one can gainsay tie fact. There were
eight Republican members against seven
Democrats: the Democrats voted solidly in
favor of Tilden, and what could the Repub-
licans do but vote for Hayes? If they did
so conscientiously, I can not de-
termine; that is an affair of their own. Had
l been Tilden, would not have given up SC
easily. In the next campaign the
Democrats will have solid South.

stock is increasing in importance. I really
believe that Grant will be the next Presi

The Florida Frauds.

JACKSONVILLE, Florida, June 10.-The inves-

ing, and will close its labors tonight, leaving
for Washington tomorrow. The testimony of
McLin was continued. Witness detailed his
appointment associate justice of the SUI
preme court, New Mexico, the Office for which
his letter to Governor Hayes, put in evidence
on Saturday, had been written. Previous to
his appointment he had been informed at the
instance of the President by Cowgirl, of the
returning board, that he would be appointed.
His rejection by the Senate he at
tributed to the personal i'll will of
Senator Conover. His subsequent failure to
get the vacant justiceship in New Mexico
promised him by the President was due to the
lukewarmness of Conover. The President
would have made the appointment if Conover
had been in earnest, the President having told
Cowgirl that he was under both political
and personal obligations to Cowgirl and
witness. Cowgirl was appointed to an
! agency in the treasury, but declined tt
