Suddenly Developed Insanity

Col. r. f. Johnston, of the 1st Infantry,
commandant at Fort Hale, has become sud-
denly and violently insane, and has been
taken 10 Ohio, where he will be placed I'M
der the care of relatives. He was brought
down from Fort Hale on the steamer Yves
tern, which arrived at Yankton this morn
ing, and Immediately transferred to the
Dakota Southern train, which was ready to
start when the boat arrived. DR.. Bergen
and a sergeant of the 1st Infantry accom-
panied the unfortunate officer, and will go
through with him to Ohio. At times the
Colonel is disposed to be violent, though
generally he submits under protest to the
dictation of those in charge of him. Yes
terday he attempted to throw DIR. Bergen
into the river, and being a large and pow
erful man, he would have succeeded had
not the Doctor clasped his hands about a
post and called loudly for help. Several
passengers rushed to the rescue, when Col.
Johnston desisted and retreated to his state
room. The cause of this unfortunate visi-
tation is not clearly defined. The Colonel
was first taken with symptoms of mental
alteration about week ago, and has since
been growing rapidly worse. During the
war he was severely wounded in the head
by bullet, and this injury may have been
the origin of his malady. Some two weeks
ago his official duties necessitated a long
ride over the prairies. The day was very
hot. and the Colonel was nearly overcome
by heat when he returned TO the garrison,
and one of his horses suffered a sunstroke.
1t is thought that the exposure may have
induced the condition under which he is
laboring. Col. Johnston is one of the most
popular officers in the always popular
First, and this sudden visitation viii evoke
the warmest sympathy from his many
friends.

by the Court to the facts, he showed per
/ feet familiarity with the testimony and con-
( fined himself entirely to 1t, never once de
parting therefrom his speech was listened
/ TO with great attention by the jury. When
/ Capt. Ford had concluded his argument a
/ death like silence prevailed all over the
/ Court room, all eyes were turned TO the
counsel for the defence, anxiously looking
to see who would open the case on that
side. The crowd did not have long to wait
In short while Capt. Thos. H Woods be-
gan IN calm manner TO review the facts
in the case and to rebuff few propositions
offered by the State; the jury gave him the
best attention and they were often moved
by his elOquence never in our lives did we
hear such speech as he made in the short
time allotted him by the Court; he seemed
TO have perfect control of his voice and his
positions We're maintained with force and
and ability, often during his speech, eyes
unused to weep, were filled with tears; his
speech surpassed the expectations OF his
friends and all conceded that it was the
best speech made on the occasion there
was no poetry or politics in it, but it was
dealing with stubborn facts. >Kemper
county may well be proud of her adopted
son, for he is now far ahead of any criminal
lawyer in East Mississippi, and at some
time IN the future he will take a position in
his profession second to no man in or out of
this State
Col ;. NJ. Meek followed Capt Woods in
q speech of an hours length, and when he
closed the continued illness of sick juror
necessitated an adjournment until Friday
morning, when Judge Morris closed the ar
gument for the State; the Judge fully sus-
tanned his reputation as q criminal lawyer
and did remarkably we'll for a lawyer hav- |
ing such a weak case, but he possesses the |
happy faculty of making the good bad |
and rice rersa when it is necessary.
After Judge Morris concluded his argu- |
gument, the jury retired and in twenty |
minutes returned the following verdict: |
1--WE the jury find the defendant not gully" |
The verdict was received by the friends Of |
Mr.. Gully with perfect silence, there was |
no shouting or applause all present showed |
by their looks and actions that while they |
rejoiced over the triumphant acquittal OF
their friend yet they sympathized with the |
idol of her heart.
The verdict of the jury of course pleased |
the friends of the prisoner, but there are |
some in our midst so anxious for the blood |
of this man that they expressed themselves |
ready to sell out at a sacrifice; well, we |
expected this and we are in hopes they will |
find purchasers it is but just to say, that |
the parties thus expressing themselves are
Of that class who stoutly maintain that the
affair of the 29th of April was purely pOlit-
zeal, notwithstanding the fact that violent
Republicans were permitted to leave the
Jail unmolested. We drop the curtain here,
but before doing so, we desire to say to the
Jury, that in this case they have responded
TO the wishes of the people of Kemper
county.

THE PILOT.


Onward my bark, drive through the black
storm
Cut sharply, my keel, through the surging
waves
The storm defy in its terrible form
Fearless my heart the tempest il braves.
. rosy dream Of youth, hast thou fed
Drives madly on through the angry blast2
o flower Of my hope, are thy sweet blossoms
shed2
Then on through the wild foam Iashing the
mast
What though the stormy wind shatter my PROV ?
hat though my trembling keel shivered be ?
The waves may dash high but no fear do /
know
As strive for my goal on Iife's wild tossing
seaE
Then when the winds in their fury cease
As the angry clouds hurry each other along
behold the bright rainbow, sweet emblem OF
peace,
And list to the music Of heavenly song.
There, just by the gIistening waters SO blue,
Is beck ming that blissfui haven Of rest,
o! fair land OF promise, how welcome thy
view
Hope oi the homeless, the poor and oppressed.
From the German Of Franz ' on HOlsten.

The spirit of liberty is not merely, as
multitudes imagine, jealousy of our own
particular rights, but a respect for the
rights of Others and an unwillingness that
any man, whether high or low, should be
wronged and trampled under foot.-Chan-

NJ Tl,e RoartIs 81 Ediucation.

Mr.. Editor: These bodies, in the
various Districts Of thecounty, have
more duties to perform than they are
aware Of. We take it, thatthe Board
is Tribunal for the settlement of
difficulties, arising betweensthe teach
er and his pupils. / referto the dis
obedience of what are known as
larger pupils, who are supposed to be
too large to be punished. In the
early days of our schools, no scholar
was ever supposed too large to be
whipped, for in those days, when
muscle was an important factor in
the make up of the tsacher to hest
tate, in visiting swift and severe
punishment upon the corpus Of the
big bully Of the school, was set down
as cowardice of the worst type.
And this feeling largely obtains
still, exceptin localities where Boards
Of Education become responsible
holding themselves tobe,a tribunal;
making Themselves known and felt
TO be a @Sgord behind Tie Throne
|sTberight arm of Pow to the
Ftsaehef. What tl1ens ne need?
Let the Boards of the several Dis
tricts throughout the county adopt a
code of rules, within the provisions
prescribed by Law and Precedent
Let such rules empower the Board to
visit sure punishment, in the shape
of suspension, or expulsion, upon
those larger scholars for persistent
disobedience.
Let the rules be adopted, and then,
let the Secretary of the Board see
that the same be posted in every
school-room, throughout the District.
Many cases of disobedience would
be obviated by the known existence
of abode of Rules" This is the re.
suit in all cases, in which such regu-
lations have been adopted.
In Waggener District we have a
live Board Of Education, and a live
President in the person of DR.. N. D..
Tobey, together with alive Secretary
in the person of Prof. II. G. Neasc.-
These gentlemen on coming into
Office, prepared a list of Rules for the
government of the schools of Wag.
gener District. 1t is needless to say
that they work like a charm. We
trust that the school officers in all
the Districts throughout the county
will do likewise. If any thing be
done, let it be done at an early date.

FIRE.-The Kline House caught
fire in one Of the rooms in the third
story, about noon Sunday, burning
through the floor to the second story,
and through the ceiling to the garnet,
and into the hall on the third floor.
The fire was arrested before q great
deal of damage was done. Fifty dol.
lars will probably cover the loss to
the building. AT the time the wind
was blowing almost a gale, and had
the fire had ten minutes more head
way it would have been beyond hui.
man power to have stopped it, and
q general conhugration would have
been the result. The room was &C.
cupied by one of the female helps
about the house. She is probably
the heaviest sufferer as all her clothes
were burned up. The fire was caus-
ed by lump Of coal falling from the
CRATE to the floor.
