Sheep Killing Dogs.

The author of the above, in q pri.
vate letter to his friend referred to
above, states: "In the State OF
Georgia, DIR. James, the commission
or rofagriculture, addressed by print
ed circulars, a number of questions
to about 100 of the most intelligent
and reliable sheep raisers in,nearly
every county in the State, in regard
to;sheep husbandry. Their answers
concurred remarkably in represent
ing the climate, soil, and herbage
of that State as admirably adapted
to sheep raising, and that the busi-
nes would be very profitable were
it not for the only obstacle in the
way-the ravages of dogs.
From information carefully OBJ
tanned, he estimated the number of
dogs in Georgia at $4,000; nearly
one dog to every three sheep-and
that in one year they had destroyed
2S,625 sheep, valued at S73,S52. He
estimates the loss per annum at Is
per cent; so that if there were 1000.
900 sheep in Georgia, as there would
be if properly protected, it would be
equal to loss of 100000 per an
mum for wool alone, ::one clip, and
for sheep, at 90 head, $500, 600,
making a loss together of $500, 900
annually.
The destruction of sheepin all of
the States and Territories by bad
dogs is immense, and yet no legis-
lature dares enact laws that will
protect the sheep against the dogs.
Dogs have more weight than sheep

Not q Candidate.

The name of jefferson Davis will be
presented TO the Mississippi legislature as
a candidate for United States senator.
The recent speech made at the Press meet
ing is the opening shot. Memphis 4ra-
lanohe.
That's all you know about it..
The name of Jefferson Davis will
not be presented to the Mississippi
legislature with his consent, and
there are fully ninety-nine chances
in hundred that it will not be
presented at all. In the first place,
jefferson Davis does not want the
position. Any Office the people
could give him would be for him q

throne he now holds, without a
rival, in the hearts Of Mississip.

ed no other man, and to-day they
revere him as they revere no other
man. 1t is not necessary for them
to send him to the United States
senate to prove their appreciation.
That stands confessed. They would
prefer not to sully the proud record
and grand fame OF their heroic ex-
chief, by subjecting him again to
the treadmill of politics. And he
would himself shrink from this
descent as foreign to his wishes or
tastes.
In the second place, Mr.. Davis
disabilities have not been removed,
and it requires a two.thirds vote of
congress to remove them. If re.
publicans in the senate aud house
of representatives in congress have
nursed their animOsity and hate so
we'll as to enable them to vote for
the exclusion of Mr.. Davis from
the pension accorded to Mexican
veterans, it is hardly reasonable to
suppose that they could afford to
vote for the removal of his disabili.
ties SO that he could take his seat
in the senate. His election, there.
fore, would result in no good to him,
and only serve to deprive the State
of a senator.
Mr.. Davis understands these
points, and don't even consider the
possibility of the legislature put
ting him forward for that Office.
He is outspoken In favor of anoth-
er man who is a candidate. His
best friends are not pressing his
name before the country in cOnnec-
tion with the senatorship, and he
would not desire the post even if
all difficulties were removed.

Some people, ignorant of what
good editing is, imagine the getting
up Of selected matter to he the
easiest work in the world TO do,
whereas it is the incest work that
is done on paper. If they find
the editor with scissors in his haLd,
they are sure to say, " Eli that's
the way you get up original matter,
ell 7" accompanying their. new and
witty question with all idiotic wink
or smile. The facts are, that the
interest, the morality, the variety
and usefulness of paper depends,
in no small degree, upon its select
ed matter, and few men are capable
of the position who would not
themselves be able to Write many
of the articles they select. A SELL
sible editor desires considerable
selected matter, because he knows
that one mind cannot make so good
paper as five or six.

Ex parte Robert c. Pstty-No. 1859.
Error to the Chancery court of Noxubee
county, Hon. l.. Brsme, chancellor.
RObt. q. Patty, as the clerk OF
the chaneery court OF NOxubee coun-
ty moved in said court for an al
lowance to himself of one hundred
dollars for er-o6iciO services for two
years at fifty dollars per year. The
motion was overruled BY the chan
cellor, and the said clerk prOsecut-
ed a writ of error to this court.
CHALMERS, D.,
l. By the fee bill of the Code of
1867, the circuit courts were author
lied to make such allowance to the
circuit courts upon the presentation
of detailed fee bills approved by
the district attorney, but although
the clerks of the chancery courts
were declared entitled ftor all
other services (after the specification
of some of their duties) to the same
fees AZ are allowed clerks of circuit
courts for similar services, this did
not entitle them to the er-O1sct0 al
lowance Of fifty dollars per annum.
The two courts were vt that time
blended into one, with bat one
clerk and one judge. Because the
State paid no costs in State cases
there WAS allowed the clerk in the
circuit court, upon the approval
of the district attorney, this extra
sum Of fifty dollars per annum, to
recOmpeDse, to that ottent, his
services In such cases.
2. The law given, enumerated
few only of the duties and fees
prescribed for chancery clerks, and
referred as to all others, to those
provided for circuit clerks, This
did not embrace the extra allowance
of fifty dollars per anuum to be
granted on the approval of the dis
trict attorney in the circuit court.
8. By 1851 of the Code of 1871,
the several boards of supervisors
were authorized to make to the
ohancery clerks, an annual allow.
ance of fifty dollars, and also the
compensation of three dollars per
day for their services in those tri-
bunals.
4. In the act of March 6, 1875.
by which the tees Of all officers were
revised and established, this au.
thorization to the boards Of super.
visors to make such allowance was
omitted; but by the act of July
81, 1876, it was declared that
"clerks of the chancery courts, and
sheriffs, shall receive the same CON.
persatiOn for er oEoo services, as
was allowed prior to 1st of January,
1876" So far as chancery clerks
are concerned, this revived only
their right to receive allowances
from the boards of supervisors,
since this was the only cOmpensa-
ton for er oticio services to which
they were entitled by law prior to
January l, 1876.
Judgment affirmed.
