state of Arksnsaw. Judge L. NJ.
Harris, of the circuit court of Pope
county, some fifty miles west of Little
Rock, has prudently left his judicial
bench and sought protection from the
governor at Little Rock. Judge Har-

sheriffs to square up arrears. He began
to receive illiterate scrawls through the

country or suffer death at the hands Of

Perryville published the court pro-
ceediDgS against the delinquents. The
latter, or their friends attempted 10

observed in the act of kindling the
FIRE, were much surprised at being dis
covered, and slid off quietly into the
woods without being arrested or iden-
tilted. Judge Harris undertook to
enforce a respect for the majestic
laws, land offered a reward for
the parties who had written to him,
and given him fifteen days notice to
leave. When, however, half a. dozen

The atrocities Of White, and the
blOodthirsty disposition he exhibited
while committing them, caused him
to be regarded with terror wherever
his presence became known, and many
timid people did not feel safe even
after he was manacled and
under guard. A strong popular
sentiment prevailed after the man
was taken, and many believed he
would never reach the Jail at Marion
alive. He did, however, law abid-

pie, strengthened by the prospect that

and conviction, seven colorel and
five white men serving as
jury in his condemnation. The
judge in passing sentence gave him
five weeks term of life to prepare for
the other world. His time expired
to-day and yesterday he bade a lasting
earthly farewell to his kindred. His
wife, six year old son, three year old
daughter, his aged father and his
brother all paid a farewell visit to him
yesterday. He told them he would
be put to death by his friends, that
they could kill his body but not his
soul, that he had often said
he would not die natural
death, but had no idea he would
ever kill any one, that it was terrible
for man to be hung by the neck until
he was dead, that he never believed
he was to 90 that way, but his race
was run, aud he bade all farewell for
ever, asking them to try and meet him
in heaven. He denied having broken
into Trexler's store. Perhaps, the
man who actually did break into it,
merely looked like White, but his sub
sequent conduct is Of a so grevious a
nature that the chances are he did not
tell the truth.

LITTLE ROCK.
A Man Shot Down in His Own
Door for Reporting
Bee Gum Thieves to the Grand
Jury.

LITTLE Rock, June 10.-Particu-
lars Of the murder of Louis Sweeton
In Van Buren county, last Wednesday,
have just been received. Last winter
six men in that neighborhood were
arrested for stealing bee gums, tried
before the justice of the peace and
acquitted. Louis Sweeton said the
matter should he presented to the
next grand jury. The fellows then
threatened to kill SweetoD if he re-
ported them. Notwithstanding this
threat, Sweeton reported them to the
grand jury, which indicted them.
Last Wednesday the six men went to
Sweeton'S house, and stopping at the
front gate, called him. Sweeton at
the time was Dursing the baby and
reading the bible. When he heard
the call, be laid the child and book on
the floor and stepped to the door. As
soon as be made his appearance the
murderers fired, hitting him in several
places. He turned, ran through three
rooms, ard fell dead. The neighbor-

New York SUM-
Beneath a tree on the northern
border of Central park lake, yesterday
afternoon, an old man sat fishing. His
hole was slender bough from the tree
overhead. Suddenly the splinter Of
wood which answered the purpose of
bob went under. The old man gave
the pole an upward jerk, and a catfish
about two inches long dangled in tn
air. Just as the fisherman was aboul
to take it from the hook a hand was
laid on his shoulder, and Park Police
man Mernaugh marched him off to the
Fifty-ninth street station, where he
said be was Peter Skell, GA years old,
and that he lived at Ninety eighth
street and Madison avenue. Later he
was arraigned before Justice Wandell,
in the Yorkville police court. The
fishing pole and catfish were produced
in evidence. The old man appeared
very simple minded.
What we're you fishing for? ?" JUS
tice Wandell asked.
To-day is Friday" replied Skelly,
"and my father, who is l03 years old,
said he would like some fish for his
supper, and went to the lake to catch
some.
Did you have any success ?"
II caught a catfish"
What kind of a hook did you
have2" asked the justice, looking at
the fishing pole.
"a iisbhOok, replied the old man.
What bait did you use ?"
Worms"
II have gained some valuable in
formation concerning catfishi ig," said
the Justice. "You have violated an
ordinance, and | am compslled to

as can, and fine you one dollar"

he was committed for one day,

The victory Of Iroquols.

London Special.l
When Count Lagrange great horse
Gladiateur won the Derby in 1865, the
French rejoiced that Waterloo had
been avenged, and the Americans are
ready just now, in the exuberance
OF their enthusiasm over Mr.. Loril-
lard's triumph, to wipe all the ira IL
tional grievances against Britain of
the slate. The oldest frequenters OF
the Downs declare they never heari
such cheering as greeted Archer and
Iroquois wien the latters number
went up. The average Englishmen
looked on without dismay at Ameri
can competition in manufactures aud
trade, and until IrOquois passed the
post on Wednesday, he laughed at the
idea of America trying TO conquer
England at EPSON. The Sporting
life says: "Iroquoise, Archer and
America were applauded all in one. "
The English betting public have lost
heavily on Peregrine. The Americans
did not make much, most of them
having put up their money on Barrett
during the winter. Archer has re
ceived many valuable presents from
the American contingent for the mar
vellous skill he showed throughout
the race.

The Republique Franchise, Gam

Scrutin de Liste in the senate ycster-
day to the revolutionary proceedings
of the 10th of May, 1877. The rela-
tions between the senate and cham
Der Of deputies, it says, will now be-
come greatly strained. The general
election, preceded as it will be by
strong agitation, will be adverse to
to the senate if the people pronounce
in favor of the Scrutin de Liste. The
article concludes as follows: I'VE are
not discouraged. We shall regain our
liberty of action and shall use it."

The irreconcilable and monarchist
papers profess to regard the vote as
putting an end TO Gambettas s dictator
ship. There are rumors current that
Constlno, minister Of the interior;
Cazat, minister of justice, and Gen.
Farrea, minister of war, will tender
their designations, and that Gambetta
will resign the presidency Of the cham

Six weeks agothe sheriff OF Crltten-
den county, Ark, Mr.. w. F. Beattie,
was foully murdered by tbieving
darky named Hays White, and to- day
White was swung into eternity from
the end Of rope, con6dentH in his
mind the hangman was only bur>
rying his soul to heaven. That
White richly deserved his
iate, no one will doubt. The
murdered sheriff was popular
young gentleman, reared in Virginia,
hnd the favorite nephew of the late
Andrew J. Cunningham, a well-to do
and thrifty cotton planter Of Critten-
den county. Mr.. Cunningham be-
queathed his foe cotton plantation to
Captain Beattie, and half dozen
years or so back the latter came out
here to live. He was a young man Of
excellent manners, honest deahngs,
courageous and able, and soon acquired
a leading position among the lead
ing people of the county. He
was chosen sheriff when tie fnan-
cial affairs of the county were in a
critical condition, and the people
were much disturbed. He made an
excellent and most faithful efficer,
administering his office in way to
bring order out Of chaos, appreciate
the county credit, and satisfy all
parties. Hays White was caught in
the act Of opening Trexler & Co. s safe
at Charlottesville, small village Lear
where he worked on the Goodlett
farm. Various acts of houSebreakiDg
had stirred up the people Of the
vicinity, and led to a suspicion against
White. He was watched and caught
as mentioned. Upon being commit
ted by magistrate, in default OF
$500 bail, he started on horseback,
under escort Of two deputies, one
white and the other colored, for the
county Jail at Marion, four miles away.
A comrade had quietly handed him a
pistol before the ride began. He
watched his chance, drew his weapon
and opened on the officers. Wounding
one, he drove the other, cowardly
fellow, before him, shooting a bullet
into tho back of the neck Of
the wounded deputy as he
passed by him, lying behind
log and leaving him for dead. The
white deputy was driven onward and
compelled to tell plausible tale to a
citizen to the effect that the shooting
he heard was themselves popping at a
few snakes in the overflow. White
left the deputy and took to the woods.
Next morning when Sheriff Beatty
and his deputy (Maddox) undertook
"a arrest White in his cabin the
