THE SOUTH CAROLINA MUIR
DER CASE.

In the trial of Col. Cash, of South
Carolina, who killed a fellow man
in a duel, Judge Pressly charged
that the offense with which the
prisoner was charged was murder in
the first degree. "No man." said
he, 'could voluntarily place himself
in post of danger and then claim
that be killed his antagonist in self
defense" This appears to us a
very clear statement of the common
sense, if not the law, in the case.
But the charge of the court had lit
tie effect upon the jury. The proof
was plain and positive. The defense
introduced no evidence. The fact
of the killing was not disputed. But
in the face of all this, and notwith-
standing the charge Of the Judge
that killing under such cireum-
stances was murder in the first de-
gree, the jury stood eight for ac-
quittal and four for conviction. So
q mistrial was entered and the highs
toned murderer vas turned loose
upon the community.
Of course it was q farce. The
jurors perjured themselves as con-
cession to digraceful and cswardly
custom. And when scme hot-head
feels that his so-called " honor has
eenimpugned, and that it is SO weak
and frail that it can be defended in
no other way, he will resort to the
barbarons code and shoot his saneied
assailant. Away with such false
notions of honor! They are incom-
patible with true courage, common
humanity or ordinary decency. The
judge who tried this case, from all
that we have seen, did his duty, hut
the verdict of the jury is enough to
shake ones faith in the system of
trial by iury,

GibsOn's Coarse Indecency.


Mr.. EDITOR: I notice that YOU
speak of Henry r. Gibson's indecen
cy while not content with traducing
Colonel Thurnburgh in the canvass
of 1916, he also, in a speech at
Staub's opera house spoke of the
colonels estimable wife. He talks
about coarse language. This re-
minds nae of one of his harrangues
at the courthouse in Knoxville durS
ing the last canvass, in which he
alluded, in the coarsest and vilest
and most indecent language, to
Southern women Those who heard
him were Disguised st his low,
vulgar allusious. He probably
thought he was addressing an ignc-
rant audience that would indors q his
disgusting vulgarity. In this he
was mistaken. His best friends
were ashamed of him, and a majority
Of those who heard him were dis
gusted beyond expression. The people
of East Tennessee have too high a
conception of what is decent and
right to hear patiently low, coarse
SANDER upon the women of this
country, even when it comes from so
contemplate a source. A man who
has SO outraged every principle OF
common decency and good taste as
Gibson has, is the last man on earth
to lecture other people about being

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a, 1881.
The latest from the foutain head
is, that after all, the South is to have
a representative in Garfeld's Cabi-
net, and although Tennessee has en-
joyed that distinction for four years,
she is to be favored in the same
manner for the next four. To. be
more definite, East Tennessee con-
tains the fortunate individual and,
to be still more definite, he is one of
Knoxville's honored sons. I refer
to Judge John Baxter and the
Attorney Generalship. The Judge,
who has proved himself to be
a meter-out of justice alike to rich
and poor, white and black, will, of a
certainty, see to it that federal laws
shall be obeyed alike in the North
and South.
Ex-senator Dorsey and another
member of the Republican national
committee are authorities for the
statement that Judge Baxter's name
is being gravely considered. The
former informed a prominent gov
ernment official, and a Tennesseean,
who has just returned from New
York, who told me, that in his opin~
ion the judges chances are excellent.
While speaking of officers it might
not be amiss to state that Maj. E. G.

The Veterans, and one or two
other organizations, continue to
manufacture campaign material for
the Democrats by refusing to JON
in the Inauguration procession
because General Sherman has
appointed Gen. Fields, an ex.Con-
federate, one of the commanders of
divisions. Considering that General
Garfield is popularly supposed to he
the President of the whole people,
and that organizations from all over
the South have been invited and
urged to be present, and that Gen.
Hancock is to be central figure, the
actions Of the veterans looks little
bit like bid for Office on account Of
the intensity of their partissnship.
There is no doubt that it is partisan

SHERMAN AND THE NATIONAL BANKS.
There is strong probability that the
national banks, who are all troubled
over the passage of the funding bill
with its 10 per cent. interest, will
unite to prevent the carrying out of
it's provisions. Already some dozen or
so of these institutions have depos-
tied bonds with the Secretary of the
Treasury to call in their circulation.
This, of course, will seriously con-
tract the currency. To offset this,
Secretary Sherman has issued call
for $25,O00,O00 of 5 per cents. This
will initiate the currency just that
much.
There is no doubt but that the 3
per cent. provision is an experiment
and a rather risky one, too. Indeed,
with the exception of Secretary
Sherman, the Treasury officials are
unanimous in the belief that it will
result in injury to the funding of the
debt. The President is said to be
of the same opinion. However, Mr..
Sherman's course is to be COM
mended for the national banks,
although they have been of much
service to the government are not its
rulers, by any means.

selves as to compel recognition. If

PENNSYLVANIA S SENATOR.
l had a good lood at the new Sena-
tor from Pennsylvania yesterday,
and, unless he bellies his ap~
pearance, he will take rank with
the ornamental members Of
that body-certainly not with the
useful He is about five feet nine
inches tall, and rather heavy. He
has q round, rudy, good -humored
Dutch face, but his forehead does
not lead one to suppose that he has
more brains in his skull than the law
allows He wears chin whiskers, and
about them is mouth good-looking
enough for any woman. He has a
slight limp caused by wound re-
ceived in the late war. His friends
think he is an able man, and one
point in favor of this belief is that
he is from Wilmot's (author of the
famous Wilmot proviso, which was
the indirect cause of the late war;
district-one that bears about the
same relation to Pennsylvania that
Garfeld's does to Ohio.
1t is great mistake to say that his
election is an anti Cameron victory.
Inasmuch as the Grow men defeated
Oliver they gained an advantage,
but when they united on Mitchell
this machine was victorious. For
two or three days before his nomi-
nation the Pennsylvania esboss was
discovered in close and frequent con
versations with him in odd hooks Of
the capitol, and there is but little
doubt that he was arranging things
then. Mr.. Mitchell has been IN
Congress two terms, but has made
no reputation for himself.
THE SENATOR FROM WISCONSIN.
The report has just reached me
that Senator Carpenter has gone on
his long journey. For two or three
weeks he has been confined to his
bed with Bright's disease, and sew
eral times recently he has been at the
point of death, but rallied. Matt,
II. Carpenter was as brilliant O man
as any in the Senate, and on law
points, with the exception of Ed
munds and Thurman, lowered
head and shoulders above them
all. Even since his first ap-
pearance in public life, he has oc-
cupied most prominent position.
He is Vermont man, having been
born in Moretown, in 1924 When he
was seventeen, he entered West Point,
but only remained there two years.
Immediately afterwards, he resided
in Baltimore. While there, he was
attacked by disease of the eyes, and
his slender stock of money being
exhausted, he was ON the point of
entering the poor-house hospital, but
succoE came just in time.
He was a law student under Rufus
Choate, and won that great man S
heart by his splendid intellect. In
1S48 he removed to Wisconsin, and
began to practice his profession.
From this time his successes at the
bar were continuous and wonderful.
He entered politics after the war,
and his maiden speech was made at

Coroner Smith yesterday held an in
quest ON the remains Of Thomas Shelby,
who died suddenly at Roberts wood ranch
on Sunday evening. The following gen.
tlemen formed the jury: James Hayes.
VIM. H. Collins, Frank Peed, A. G.. Clark,
E. s. Weber and E. s. Clifford. About
the same state OF facts were ELECTED as
given in the SENTINEL yesterday morning,
the only material difference being in the
name, which we gave as Shalary instead OF
Shelby. The jury found that he died
from natural causes, hemorrhage OF the
lungs being the immediate cause. The
deceased owned q cabin, some cooking
utensils, etc., in the northern part OF
town. He was an old Pacific Coaster and
had been quite well of in Idaho and
Montana. Uncle Jimmy Hayes knew him
as early as 1854 in Yreka, California. He
also knew him later at Lin ,oln Gulch,
Montana, where he constructed a fine
hotel. 1t is thought that he has . married
sister living at Butte City, Montana. He
was q quiet, inoffensive man, and uni
versally liked by all who knew him. In
consequence of the storm his funeral did
not take place yesterday, as was announced.
He will be buried from Schwamb's at
P. M. to-day. Friends and acquaintance
are invited.

more than a passing notice. For months
the members have labored and studied
hard 10 tender one OF their number q bene-
fit, and now feel prepared to appear before
the public. The cast was published in

ray OF talent that ensures a successful en-
tertainment. The piece was not written
to give all the good points to one. but each
shares In the dialogue and situations in
a name to give them all ample scope to
| show their abilities. Mrs. f. W. Cole,

Miss Daisy Wendell have the leading fem
inine parts. Mrs. Coles Comtesse Zicka
Is an extremely difficult role. 1t is a star

in turn every passion in a woman's nature
love, hatred and revenge. Mrs. Cole will
present these with great power, and give
| q piece OF acting hardly expected from one
not drilled In q histrionic school.
Mrs. Chase is a natural Dora. She has all
the requisites Of an actress-a voice whose
purity and fiexibility permit Of a wide
range OF tmotlOnhl EXPRESSION, q hand-
some face full OF meaning, q 1.-THE and
graceful figure, and q large measure Of
dramatic force and suppressed intensity.
The lady can scarcely fail OF becoming a
f~avorite with the public, who have looked
upon the quiet, pale woman for years with
admiration. Her numerous friends will
find that it is another illustration OF still
waters. Mrs. Haskell will make an excel
lent Lady Henry, not only in person but
in speech. The lady has a bright, cheer
full disposition and an active mind. The

THE sHOULDER.HITTERs.
Serious Trouble Ahead for the Light
Weight Champions.


This is to be a field day in Judge
Harmon's Court. Skinner and Mann,
the champion light weights Of the Base
Range, are to appear and answer TO the
charge Of prize fighting. Under the law
they are liable to a term OF not less than
two nor more than five years in the State
Prison. The absence of prize money does
not lessen the offense. The fact that they
met by agreement establishes their guilt.
II is charitable to believe that these men
were ignorant Of the law. But ignorance
cannot be pleaded in mitigation of the Of
Tense. District Attorney Daven-
port will appear for the State,
and Baker Il Wines for the
light weights. Sheriff Kyle yesterday sub
penaed as witnesses a goodly number Of
those who were present on Sunday. Others
will be served to-day. 1t seems quite
probable, therefore, that a very entertain
ing matinee may be anticipated in Judge
Harmon's Court.
There can be no doubt that a case sufi-
GENTLY strong can be made out to hold the
offenders to answe before the next Grand
Jury. 1t is equally certain that a
Grand Jury would be compelled to indict
thClH III puIsuduCo VI Tie Jaw. Dubd trldl
jury might not be found that would con-
Wet them indeed, it is more than likely
that the average trial jury would
set them free. 1t would be urged
before the jury, and doubtless with success,
that it was a trifing affair, in which no
n was injured. In this view of the case,
District Attorney Davenport may possibly
consent to allow them to plead guilty of a
simple assault, and thus escape with the
usual fine imposed in such cases. If he
does, these aspiring light weights will owe
him q debt Of gratitude which they cannot
readily repay, for he has it in his power to
put them to a world Of trouble. Ali things
considered, 1t may perhaps be as we'll to
let them of this one time on the battery
basis.
