A Brute Who Ought to be in the Peniten.
t"ry for Life.
A bury colored brute named Webb Fisher
was arrested by Capt. Clark yesterday morn
ing on the charge of disorderly conduct, bu,
subsequent proceedings developed that be
was guilty of conduct of far grsver snd
more heinous character. The complainant
Mrs. Mary Davis, came to the city hall yes.
terday morning and related the doings OF
the brute, which should have entitled him tc
ten years in the chain gang. Mrs. Davis
resides ON Fifth near Franklin street, anG
her husband is employed at Mckinney
livery stable as night Waterman
Mrs. Davis is small, wiry, middle-aged wo
man, whose appearance indicates the posses
sion of an unusual allowance, of what is
called grit OF sand. To the possession OF
this latter quality she is undoubtedly indebt.
ed for the preservation of her life and honor
one or both of which were impefiled by the
midnight visit of the defendant. The house
in whi,h they reside is email cottage, and
| the sleeping spartmen& is on the first o,
ground foor., Abons O'Clock Yesterday
morning Mrs. Davis, who was alone with hel
children, heard some one rafting at the
window blinds, which were partially open
the window being near the ground and
within few feet Of where she was lying.
Alarmed at what was evidently an ettemp.
to break into the room, Mrs. Davis arose and
enqnired what was wanted, in reply to which
q ooiored man replied that he wanted JEFF g, d
her husbands, coat. She ordered him to
leave, instead of which he commanded her to
open the window. The window was not se-
curely fastened, and Mrs. Davis knew tina.
in another instant he would be in the room.
Realizing the necessity of prompt action she
ran and got q corn knife, which she four
ished about the darkey's head, telling him
that if he dared to enter the roofn she would
cut his head OF.
The brute WAS not expecting such dis
play of courage, and as usual in such cases,
the wretch shrank back, partially cowsd.
He then went to the rear Of the house and
tried the doors, which were sec rely locked,
after which he laid down in the grass to
wait Developments. Mrs. Davis was also
awaiting developments with the trusty corn
knife, and the brave little woman kept up
her vigi! OF the window till daybreak, when
the wretch skulked off.
When arrested by Capt. Clark, he stated
that he and the family were old friends, aud
that ne had simply called on her husband.
Fisher was before Judge McGrorty yestef-
day afternoon, and the facts were brought
out as above related, the only difference
being that, owing to the desire entertained
by Mrs. Davis to not give the matter pub
liclty, the testimony did not fully develop
the circumstances. He vas sens up for eight
DAYS.

The controversy i'm the House Flee
ton Committee over the Washburne-
DOnnelly case, and the charge against
Mr.. Springer, the Chairman of that
Committee, preferred by a Democratic
associate, is one of those unfortunate
episodes the like of which will never
cease to occur i'm the affairs of men.
This contested seat is question of un-
usual Importance, not only on account
of the grave charges of bribery and inn
proper influences on the part of Mr..
Washburne, but also because seating
the contestant would give the Demo-
Gratis majority of the State delegation,
and the vote of the State i'm case of the
Presidential election had to be deter
mined by the House. But as these
questions, under Democratic Congress
are decided upon their merits, and not
upon party considerations as when the
Republicans run the House, there were
differences of opinion among the Dem
Ocratic members of the Committee.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Manning, who il an
honest, Jealous partisan, thought Mr..
Springer had been Influenced by inn

the anonymous letter sent to Mr..
Springer's house, and the previous mis-

Manning's temperament. But after

charge against him. He is earnest and
indefatigable in the service of his par
ty, or any cause he has espoused, but
lawyer and man capable of consider
ing any case wherein he sits as a judge,
with judicial fairness. The most |
could think, in explanation of Mr..
Manning's charge, is that Mr.. Springer,
knowing his associates strong cOnvic-
tiOns, may not have been very frank
in stating his own views. The virtue
of frankness in all things is one that

We venture the assertion that the
State of Kentucky pays no less than
sl5O,OOO upon fraudulent claims every
year. Heretofore we have called atten-
ton To the Legislature to this tremen-
dous leak in the State finances, and
have cited it as the chief point to be
considered by those who have real
motive in their attempts at .retrench-
ment and reform. IL the State can be
protected against the makers Of these
fraudlent claims, and payments can be
so regulated that they viii only follow
the just claims, the Legislature can well
afford to double the salaries of all its Of
ficers. Talking with the Auditor few
days ago, We heard him say that Of sew
eral large patches Of claims which were
then in his hands he did not believe
that One-fourth Of them were inst and
ought to be paid; but that he could see
no possible way Of avoiding their pay
ment. Every teehnicality of the law
has been fully complied with. Each
document was i'm perfect form, and yet
to hrs mind they bore the stamp of fraud
IN nine cases out of ten. He is compell-
ed, under the law, to pay them. He
has no alternative, and must draw his
warrant in spite Of a conviction that
claim is nothing more than q robbery.
Auditor Smith experienced the same
trouble. He was Obliged to pay claims
that he almost knew ought not to be
paid, simply because the requirements
OF the law under which he was acting
were in every respetc complied with.
General Hewitt cited a number of
cases where it was clear that fictitious
charges had been trumped up, parties
arrested, conveyed from one county tn
another by guards, tried, acquitted,
turned loose, arrested again, and the
same process gone through with i'm or
der to pile up costs and rob the State.
One man had been arrested no less than
seven times. He was tossed like trap
ball between two counties; arrested in
one county one week and in the other
county the next week, and each time
upon a charge which, it was apparent,
had no foundation i'm truth. This blisi-
ness plies the costs at fearful rate and
robs the treasury Of large sums
