A CURIOUS LEGAL QUESTION.

GFrom the st. Joe, Mo. Gazette !.

[From the st. Joe, Mo. ,Gazette.l -
A curious legal question has been
sprung in the state Of Kentucky , It will
be: remembered that Thes. Bntcrii, the
man who killed Judge Mliot. one. .ot the
judges of the court ei. appeals in that
state, had q trial in the .0wen criminal
court and was convicted OF murders and
sentenced to the penitentiary for lie.
Buford appealed from the verdict of the
Owen court to the court of appeals,
and the matter is now, pending before
that tribunal. Some time Since the
members OF the courtota appeals decided
that they were not competent to hear
the appeal, because the law isays' they
| shall not consider any CASE in (which
they may be more or less Interested.
Considering that Judge Elliott was a
brother member and that -Buford Tex-'
pressed q regret alter killing Elliott
that he did no. kill Judge Cofer, they
concluded that they ought not 20 have
anything to do with the case one way or
the other, and asked the governor to
appoint three special Judges to- sic ain
their places tor. the purpose of deter
mining the disputed question in the Bu-
ford appeal. The governors .geanted
their petition, and appointed three dis
tinguished gentleman, for the purposes
mentioned. Now come the attorneys
tor BufOrd and tiie their briefs, in hieh
they claim that the governor has no au-
thority to appoint special judges OF the
court of appeals.s They present SOME
strong law points TO sustain their thed-
ry, and what will be the outcome of it
al remains to be seen. They also clain
that the regular Judges have ne sigttko
sit in the case, .and-~if their position
! proves to be a correct one, BufWdfwill
yet escape punishment. .aIfstha sgeY-
ernor cannot appoint, special judges.
and if the regular Judges cannot act, the
sentence Of sthe slower court cannet be
enforced, It is z, peculiar question, and
is creating much excltement and COM

Borrowed from less azure skies
And charm the Rose, that softly glows,

Sherman and Resumption.

1t has been so persistently claim
ed that the revival of trade and the
promise of good time-for as yet it
is only promise-is due to the wise
craftsmanship of Mr., Sherman, and
has been so little to concede it to
him. OF course it is TO his interest
it should seem so, and the one fol-
lowing the other does to the casual
observer. have this appearance. But
is it so? Is Mr.. Sherman's policy
of resumption the thing that
brought about the reaction?
In answering these questions we
must say no, most emphGti-
cally. If Mr.. Sherman's poll
cy had been carried out the coun-
try would now have a currency of
nothing but gold and National hank
notes, and such a state of bank
ruptcy would have ensued that
twenty-five, instead of three, good
crops would not have been suffi-
cient to have restored it to prosper
ity. But everyone knows that
while Mr.. Sherman was drawing,
and contracting the cur
rency he was baked in his mad ca
reer. Congress, under Democratic
rule, stopped the contraction, and
even succeeded in reissuing some
of the greenbaclIs that he had de-
voted to the auto dG fe. Then, too,
the reconciliation of silver added
another bulk to the circulation of
money. Both of these, in accor-
dance with his contraction policy,
would have been taken up and de-
stroyed to the uses of the people.
No, whatever of prosperity we
now have or are to gain, is the re-
suit of a higher power than Mr..
Sherman or any other statesman.
1t was the effect of several good
crops in succession, made available
by the unexpected and remarkable
of bad European crops.
Had Mr.. Sherman's policy been
carried out no advantage could |
have been taken of the short Euro
pean crops. Our wheat would now
be standing in the shocks, for there |
would have been no money to move
It. As it is, it is a rough and in
media of exchange.
The only place that gold should |
is in the vaults of the Uni
ed States treasury and its represen.
,ative would then be quite as good
Ind far more useful Banner.

Family Correspondence

Senator Tolley writes an open
letter to Senator Wilson of several
columns in length. There is a
bushel of chaff to every grain OF
wheat in it. 1t affects a gravity OF
craftsmanship which is ludicrous.
1t will be remembered that FOLEY
was one of the fathers of repudia
ton then he supported the 5O-4
adju straent. This failing, he seeks
to recover ground with mis- old as
sociates, and is for letting the ques
ton alone very severely until after
the Presidential election. Its agi-
tation might hurt the party. Heis
for a sneak policy a while longer.
We have only to say that we favor
no such notions of dishonest deal
ing. The democratic party until
recently was party of honesty,
and when it leaves that platform it
will go TO the dogs. If the next
State Convention again panders to
reputation 1t will be smashed into
ssmithereens."-T Gallatin Exam'r.

Another Indian War.

New York Times: Patriotic prac
tical men, who despise the senti
mental philanthropy which pre-
tends that the Indian is a human
being, will he glad to know that
we have a new Indian war on oul
hands. The Utes, who have hith.
erto been an unusually peaceful
tribe, have at last taken up arms
and given US an opportunity to ex'
terminate them and seize theiI
lands. The war has begun in 6
most hopeful manner, the Utes hav'
ing defeated a detachment Of troops
and thus opened the way for effec-
tive denunciations of their brutal
barbarity. 1t may take some little
time and trouble to kill the entire
tribe, but there can be but little
doubt that in the course of one OF
two campaigns the Utes will be i'm
proved off the face of the earth and
the Ute reservation will be parcel
ed out among the hardy miners OF
Colorado.

Afoat.

Floating beehives are a success,
as is proved by the experiment of
an American honey dealer, who
constructed a vessel to contain two
thousand hives, which he moved
gradually up the Mississippi river
from Louisiana to Minnesota during
the spring and summer mouths, and
back again as the autumn advanced
and thus keeping pace with the
blossoming of the flowers, and Sc
curing therefrom a good success
sion of blossoms at the height of
the season all along the coast. The
longest stay was made in the neigh
borhood of st. Louis. Skilled at
tendants accompanied the vessel,
and the honey was periodically ex-
tracted from the hives in & manner
now largely adopted in America
by centrifugal force. The actual
yield of this gigantic apiary has
not been stated, but it is said to
have been enormous, some hives
producing as much as two hundred
weight of honey.

Memphis Ledger: The present
waRm dry spell Is doing wonders
for the cotton crop. News from
the valleys is to the effect that the
Weld will be large. Every field is
white with open bolls, and pickers
are working with great industry to
save every lock that can be gath
cred during the present propitious
period. That portion of the growth
known as the top crop,which reach
es maturity the latest is vigorous
and unusually promising. The
staple was never better, and a fine
out-turn is anticipated throughout
the Mississippi valley. In the hills
the same cheering accounts are re
ported. With the exception of To-
calities in Texas injured by
drouth and some damage done in
Alabama and Louisiana by storms
and heavy rains during August, the
General reports are exceedingly
promising. Picking in the South
ern and central portion of the cot
ton belt Is already far advanced,
and as no worms, rust or early
frosts are likely to shorten the
yield, we may look for at least,
100000 more bales of cotton this
year in the Mississippi valley than
was marketed last season.

TO MAKE MONEY
Cholera.

The telegraph informs US that
the cholera has again broken out
afresh among the English troops in
Afghanistan. 1t has been prevail
ing in India, Burmah and China
| for a year or more, but it is en-
demic in those countries, and never
excites fear unless it takes up its
line of march to the West. Then it
pursues remorselessly its track
with the line of travel, and takes
about from one to two years to ar
rive in America.
The first epidemic made its APP
pearance In America in 1888, hav
ing devastated England, France and
Spain (since 1929 before it crossed
the ocean. Before railroads were
used, it required six years to come
from India here; but when once
started 10 never stopped until it got
here. japan had established q
strict quarantine against India this
year, but. Dutch vessel found
means to evade it, and it has de
stroyed thousands of lives since.
Should il be carried to the great
commercial cities by the English
troops, we msy look for it here in
1850, or 1881.
The great impl ovement, however,
in sanitary science will render this
fearful scourge innocuous, il taken
in time. 1t does not spread, like
some other plaques, by valves, but
is only transmitted by human inter
course. This is well established
fact. Another condition is neces-
sary to its. propagation, and that is
filth. Even if carried to locality,
if there is want of its proper food,
it will cease to exist with the par
ties carrying it. In 1866, negro
man visited Nashville while it pre-
vailed here, and returning to vii
lage in an adjoining county, took
the disease and died. Though
there were numerous dwellings
near him. the residents did not suf-
fer: hut at least quarter of q mile |
across the vIn@%4, II atsacAeu
dwelling that was VIGOROUSLY IN :
healthy, and several of its inhabi-
tants died. This has been repeat
ed everywhere, and it is now well |
that if place is per
tectly clean there will be no dan
ger of Its being propagated. There
fore, it should be the care of every
town and city to put itself in SAM
tary condition, and then, by the aid
of a strictly enforced quarantine,
we may bid defiance to its en-
croachments. OF course, this OBJ
servance will entail great losses to
commerce; but what is that COM
pared with the destruction of life?
