Sheriff Moon Resigns.

Captain Marion Moon presented his resig-
nation to the county commissioners court,
Saturday evening, as sheriff of Dallas county.
The commissioners got his consent to have
until yesterday to consider his resignation
which they claim to regret. 1t read as fol-
lows:
DALLAS, Tex. Aug %, 1850.
Hon. r. L. Burke, County Judge of Dallas
County:
DEAR SIR: Pecuniary embarrassments and
other circumstances over which l can exer-
else no control, make it necessary that l
should resign the Office of sheriff of Dallas
county. therefore tender to you this my
resignation and ask that you appoint my
successor at once, as am absolute without
money to run the office any further, and any
attempt to do so on my part would be wrong,
as it would involve me in debts that l know
| will never be able to pay. Hoping that
YOU will accept this at once, and appoint my
successor Immediately, l remain, as ever,
your obedent rvant,
w. M. Moon,
Sheriff of Dallas County.
Sheriff Moon was induced, he says, to
take this step because the commissioners
court refused to pay interest on scrip issued
to him. and which he had been compelled to
discount in order to raise funds to perform
the functions of his office, while he has
claims of long standing against the county
which the commissioners refused to allow.
he borrowed $4,000 from the Exchange
bank. or rather, he had discounted over
Sl2,00O.in county scrip for that amount, and
he asked the commissioners court to redeem
the scrip or pay the interest on it, which is
about 500 per month, until said scrip was
paid up as It appeared on the register
in the clerks office. He says that
he could not stand the expense of
feeding the Jail prisoners any longer under
the circumstances. Sheriff Moon says that he
has made nothing out of the Office, while in
the capture of criminals, he has expended
out of his own private means hundreds and
hundreds of dollers, and that he was getting
deeper and deeper in debt each day that he
remained in office.
The county commissioners court stated
that they were forbidden by
law to accent such PROPOSE
ton. They agreed to pay the warrants or
S4,144 Is, a part ofthe $4,000 script which
stands first on tue register. Iney slateu tnat
they we're willing to advance money to feed
the Jail prisoners.
The court acted on the resignation yesterday,
accepting it, and appointing Deputy Sheriff
B. F. Jones, the Democratic nominee
for that Office in his stead, as will be seen by
the following order:
Ordered by the court that the resignation
of w. Nj. Moon, sheriff of Dallas county, be,
and the same is hereby accepted, and B. +.
Jones be, and he is hereby appointed sheriff
ofDallss county, to fill the uuexpired term,
this appointment being in force FROM and
after his giving bond of $4,000 and taking
the oath prescribed by law.
Deputy Sh. riff Jones will execute bond to-
dsy. The resignation Of Sheriff Moon seems
to be matter Of very general regret.

10 : $50 from her pocket On North Gay street.
near Dallas street, about 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. The money, somewhat scattered
about. was picked up by Mr. John Myers. He
remembered that it was the day OF the grand
procession, and looked upon the shower of
SreenDackS as sham Of some advertising de-
fusion, he resolved at once to make It com
plete give way, and handed around the money
to all who desired 1t with an abandon beau
t1ful TO behold. Scenes that We're ludIcrouS In
the extreme enSued, though their ending was
serious. The idea of Mr, Myers took readily
and five cent cigars were coolly lighted with
twenty dollar notes, near'y all the money
being in notes OF that denomination. Street
gamins pasted few around On awning posts
TO deceive unsuspecting strangers. A boy sold
one $50 for Is cents, and it is said $500 adj
dit1onal were sold for the same amount, A
lady residing not far away, got a 500 note,
Which she said she would keep In memory of

lady gave 1t TO her. Mrs. SImms meanwhile in
