Peaceful Districts - Movements of
TrOOps'--A Conspiracy to Murder
the Whites.

HAVANA, January 21.-The dis
tricts Of Holguin and La Tunas arc
now entirely peaceful. General
BlancO has issued orders directing
that the jurisdiction of Bay Amo and
Manzaill be separated from the Prov
ince OF Santiago de Cuba, and incor-
porating them, Tor their easier pacif.
cation, with the district of Holguin,
under command of General Valera.
All available naval forces are still
being sent to the eastern coast of the
Island.
The Santiago de Cuba police are
reported to have discovered an associ-
alton of negroes called "Nanigoes, y
whose statutes oblige members to kill
white persons. The police have cap
tured 81 alleged members.

convicted him of the lower grade of
homicide.
1t is argued that the offense for
which the deceased was arrested was
in reality a feloniOus assault, and the
prisoner had the right to hold him in
custody for this grade of offense: but
1T clearly appears that the warrant
under which he was arrested charged
only an assault and battery, and the
judgment and mittimus of the Justice
only committed him in default of Sc
curity for fine and costs for a misde-
meanor. We see nothing to change
the principle in the fact that the de-
ceased had been adjudged to pay the
fine and costs by the justice of the
peace as to the duties of the officer.
His duties were the same, whether he
held the prisoner in custody after or
before the judgment Of the justice.
The prisoner, doubtless, acted under
the belief that enormously prevails as
to the rights ofa public officer, that is.
that he may lawfully kill prisoner if
he fails to obey his command to halt.
This is a very erroneous and very fatal
doctrine and must be corrected.
Officers should understand that it is
their duty to use such means to secure
their prisoners as will enable them to
hold them in custody, without resort
ing to the use of firearms or dangerous
weapons, and that they will not be ex-
cused for taking his life in any case
where with diligence and caution the
prisoner could be otherwise held.
While the prisoner in this case
seems to have honestly entertained
the opinion that his duty required
him to. DO what he did, and to have
acted entirely without malice. and
while he is entitled to strong sympa-
thy, still we are constrained to affirm
the judgment.

1T Is MANSLAUGHTER
For an Officer to Kill an Escaping Prls.
Oner Guilty only of RisdemeanOr.

The following important decision of
our Supreme court, recently rendered
at Knoxville, should be read by every
policeman, constable or other peace
officer of the State. We copy it in
full.
Hiram Reneau VS.. the State: The
prisoner appeals from conviction of
manslaughter for the killing of Vine
yard Thomas. The facts are that
Thomas, the deceased, was arrested
by the prisoner, who was a constable
under a warrant charging an assault
and battery. Before the Justice of
the peace Thomas pleaded guilty and
was adjudged to pay fine and costs.
and, in default of security, was com.
mitted to Jail; and, in the execution
of a mittimus issued by the Justice for
that purpose, the prisoner started
with Thomas to the county Jail, ac-
eompanied by another person as guard
On the route Thomas started to run
and make his escape. Neither the
prisoner nor his guard pursued, but
after commanding Thomas three times
to halt, and not being obeyed, the
prisoner fred two shots at Thomas
one Of which took effect, killing him
almost instantly.
The prisoner is shown to be a man
of good character, and he expressed
regret at the result, saying that he did
not intend to kill the deceased. The
latter was of bad character for vio-
lence, and had threatened that he
would not submit to arrest.
The law on this subject, as laid
down by Mr. Bishop, is, in substance,
that an officer having prisoner in
custody for felony who attempts es-
cape, will be excused for killing him.
if he cannot be otherwise retaken
but, if he can be otherwise retaken, in
any case, without resort to such harsh
measures, it will be at least man
slaughter to kill him. But, in cases
where the person slain is arrested or
held in custody for a misdemeanor
and he fly or attempt to escape, il will
be murder in the officer to kill him
although he cannot be otherwise over
taken yet, under some circumstances
it may be only manslaughter, as if it
appear death was not intended. 20
Bishop, Or. Law, sec. 64S-9.)
1t is considered better to allow one
guilty Of misdemeanor to escape al
together than to take his life. And
we may add that it may be question
worthy of consideration whether the
law ought to be modified in respect to
the lower grade of felonies, especially
in view Of the large number of crimes
Of this character created by compare.
lively recent legislation, whether as
to these even escape would not be
better than to take life.
The charge of the Judge in tho case
was in accord with the law as above
stated, and the jury have given The
prisoner the benefit ofsll doubts and

COLONEL Coles term as President
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis railroad does not expire until
next September, and of course he will
not step down and out before that
time, if at all. He will probably be
continued for the sake of his great in
fluence and splendid executive abili-
ties. He has ordered the work on the
Evansville and Owensboro' road to be
continued as before and intends to
push it to speedy completion. 1t is
claimed for him that he retains con-
troll of the st. Louis and Southeastern
road, extending from st. Louis to
Evansville, and that when the road to
Nashville is completed, he will have
southern connections which will give
him as complete a line as before the
Louisville and Nashville road pur-
chased the majority of the Nash

THE Democrats in congress are
greatly dissatisfied with the nomina-
tions which President Hayes sent in
for supervisors of the census. Over
two-thirds of the nominees are Re-
publicans and it is likely that a good
many will not be confirmed by the
senate. In view of the fact that this
is clerical and nom -partizan work, and
that both houses of congress are Dem
ocratic, it was expected that Mr.
Hayes would have the courtesy to
offer something like an even divide to
the Democrats.

GEN. TooMBs said in an interview
recently that Davis was made presi-
dent Of the G. S. A. by trickery, and
that majority of the secession con-
vention preferred several other men.
This created bad feeling among Davis
friends, and Walthall, of Mississippi,
replies, declaring Toombs' statement
without foundation. Alexander Ste
phens has taken hand in the fight,
and the Atlanta Constitution contains
a long letter, in which he reiterates
the charges of Toombs, and gives let
ters to prove his position. A reply
from some of Davis friends is certain,
and long and bitter controversy is
looked for.

Death of a Yenerable Lndr.

A dispatch received here yesterday
brought the news of the death of Mrs.
K. Mcleod, at the residence of her
son, John Mcleod, eight miles from
Brownsville. At eight o'clock in the
morning, January 20, 1880, she qui-
etly breathed her last. Her son and
Mrs. &. Whitmore, her only surviving
children, were present. She will be
buried this afternoon, by the side
of her husband, in the old
family burying ground at
Brownsville. In the absence of Mr..
and Mrs. Whitmore, who are attend
ing the funeral, we may speak briefly
of the life and characteristics of this
excellent and greatly beloved old lady.
Her maiden name was Potter, and
she was born and reared at or near
Raleigh, North Carolina. We do not
know the exact date Of her birth, but
it was few years before the close of
the last century AZ the time of her
death she was not far from eighty-fve
years old. When very young, she
married a Mr.. Brown, by whom she
had three sons. These grew up to
manhood, but are all dead. When
still quite a young widow, she was
married to Mr.. Donald Mcleod,
in Haywood county, Tenn, and they
lived happily together for over fifty
years. Their lives blended together
like two streams in one, which runs
through quiet meadows and cool
shades on its way to the sea. They
were devoted to their children and
greatly beloved by all who knew them.
One Of their sons, Donald, was killed
in the Confederate army, in Van
Dorns raid, in December, 1862. The
father and husband died December 10,
1878. Notwithstanding these misfort-
unes and her advanced age, Mrs. Nc
LOed, taking a philosophical and
Christian view of life and
death, continued to maintain
a cheerful disposition and to
enjoy good health until recently,
when she was taken with pneumonia,
her last and fatal illness. She was
calm and peaceful to the last; her
mind was unclouded and she sank to
her final rest as peacefully as a child.
For great many years she was a con-
sistent member of the Presbyterian
church, and in her last hours she was
sustained by faith and the hope of a
better world beyond. In many respects
she was a remarkable woman. She
vas always cheerful and full of life
and heart To her the world had
much of sunshinc and goodness in it,
and this feeling she always impaired
to Others around her. In heg
were united bright mind,
cheerful heart and generous nature
and she enjoyed to the last a rcmarka-
BILE immunity from the decrepitude or
appearance of great old age. Her
memory will ever be held sacred by
her family, and all who knew her in
timately. Besides her children she is
survived by an older brother, Mr..
John Potter, hearty old man near
ninety, who lives near Brownsville.
Mrs. Mcleod was doubtless the old
cs resident Of Brownsville. She had
Lived there over sixty years
