MCKINNEY, July 12-Judge DeArmond
passed the death sentence on Shack Cald-
well yesterday evening. The execution
will take place on Friday, August 18th.
When the prisoner was told to stand up
and asked the question If he knew any
reason why sentence should not be passed
on him, he seemed a little excited and
nervous. The court put the question the
ST cor d time, when the prisoner answered
not unless be could get up a petition to the
governor Tor words to that effect, and told
the court to ~ ahead with The sentence.
Some weeks since Sheriff " ordin went to
the Jail and, in a very sympathetic manner,
Informed Shack that the court of appeals
had confirmed the action of the lower
court and he guessed he would have TO
hang. Shack quickly replied, "Well, Mr..
Worlin. ii YOU can stand TO hang me /
guess / can stand TO be hung" This
declaration convinced the sheriff that any
further remarks OF sympathy and con-
ISOLATION were altogether unnecessary.
As our iail is not so con-
structed as TO permit the execution within
the walls, it is probable the execution Will
be public.
A mad dog passed through the square
this morning early, biting several dogs. lie
was followed by Andrew Lewis and Cen
eral Howell TO the northern part Of town.
The dog turned on Mr.. Lewis and he had
considerable trouble 70 avoid being bit, and
only succeeded in killing the dog after
shooting him fourteen times in the most
vital narts, during which time the dog did
not even whine. Steps will be taken TO
kill or dispose Of those dogs bitten. The
mad dog looked as though be had Travelled
a long distance.

TYLER, July 1.-THE democratic county
convention Of Smith county met in Tyler
yesterday The convention was held urSer
call by the chairman OF the executive
committee to elect delegates to the state
convention only. The delegates are divided
in their choice for congress between Hub
bard and Chiffon, with the Chiffon dele
gates IN the majority. Many of the. Chill
ton delegates had been selected by primary
meetings of the clubs called without proper
notice, and manipulated to secure the
whole delegation from particular club for
Chiffon without respect to the rights or de-
mand of the Hubbard members The con-
vention, by stretch OF power, gave the
Chiffon men minority representation
from Tyler of seven delegates, although the
Tyler precinct was overwhelmingly for
Hubbard The Hubbard delegates denied
the right of the convention to elect dele
gates to the congressional convention, be-
cause the county convention, under its pub
lished call, was limited to the election OF
delegates to the state convention. The
Chiffon men being in the majority, deter
mined to proceed to the election of dele
gates to the congressional convention. The
Hubbard men then respectfully asked that
they be allowed to select delegates for Hub
bard in proportion to his strength in the
convention. This was refused. The
Hubbard men then asked the con-
vention to adjourn for a short
time, that they might have few minutes
for consultation. This was refused, where
upon the Hubbard delegates withdrew
from the convention and met at the court
house. A large assemblage of democrats
from the town and county met with them
at the courthouse, and amid the greatest
enthusiasm they passed resolutions protest
ing against the action of the majority in
giving the Chiffon men minority represen-
tation from the Hubbard clubs and then
denying the Hubbard men minority
representation in the congressional
convention. The chairman of the demo-
cratic executive committee has called
convention to meet in Tyler July 10th,
which should send up full delegation to
the congressional convention. Governor
Hubbard has over thousand democratic
supporters in Smith county, including
such men as ]. II. Brown, w. Il. Herndon,
J. 7. Douglas. l.. r. Bonner, Il. @. Will
liams, Judge Reaves, and nearly all prom.
inent business men in Tyler and many OF
the most prominent men in the county.
Tyler is overwhelmingly for him, and many
true democrats here are determined no
longer to submit to the manipulations OF
political wire-workers and have men thrust
upon them who are unacceptable.

The Press Convention.

The annual meeting of the Georgia
Press Association will take place in
Augusta on Wednesday, the 10th inst. a,
and viii be held in the Hall Of the
Richmond Hussars." Hon. Pat.
Walsh, of the Chronicle and C0nstitu-
ti0naltst, has arranged to make the stay
of the representatives an enjoyable one.
Arrangements have also been made
for an excursion to Jacksonville,
Florida, via Savannah, the Central
and the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railroads having rendered the
courtesies of their lines to the edi-
tors and publishers Of this State. The
trip will probably extend to South
Florida, though of this it is not certain,
as owing to the shortness of the notice it
Is not known whether the members can
leave their business for the length of
time sufficient to make so long trip.
The excursion train will leave Augusta
on Thursday night, and the delegates will
breakfast in Savannah and take supper
in Jacksonville on Friday.

Iron is declining in price in the British
market as well as in the American. Fa-
vored also by the decline in freights,
Scotch pig can be imported for about g
q ton less now than at the opening of
1882. The break on English Bessemer
pig iron is still greater. The decline of
81 shillings marks a fall of Q shillings
since January 1. English Bessemer is
offered in our own markets." says the
New York Bulletin, cat $24 for future
shipment; at the opening of the year it
sold fof scr so. Steel rails have fallen
about 10 shillings per ton in England and
So per ton in the United States. Owing
to the duty of $2S per ton. or 10 per
cent. tax.on American consumers, for
eign rails cannot at present be placed in
this market in competition with the home
manufactured article. Exclusive of duty,
they can be laid down here at $32 or less
as against $50, the lowest price accepted
this year by American makers"

KoOpmanschap, the Chinese immigra-
ton agent, lately returned to California
after a six months sojourn in China, for
the purpose of engaging coolies for Ger.
tain corporations on the Pacific coast
and plantations in Brazil. He engaged
3, 800, 1900 of whom will be divided be-
tween California and Oregon. He was
in China when the Chinese restriction
bill was passed, and saw the sensation it
made among the coolies. He left before
the bill was vetoed. and imagine the
lively reaction which the news of the
veto would cause. Koopmanschap
thinks the Chinese viii want to rush
over now, before any restriction of i'm
migration can take place. Competition
In steamship lines has reduced the fare
to $50 and $35. The coolie wages in the
rice fields is from So to 81 per month.
In California and Oregon they get $25
and $50 a month as laborers, and in
Brazil so month and board.

1t is stated that there are symptoms of
a slight feeling of uneasiness among the
protectiouists with regard to the forma-
ton of the tariff commission under the
pending bill. when it shall have become
a law. 1t was assumed for time that
the President would appoint none but
''safe" men, this term being interpreted
to mean men who would continue in
force the existing protective system. OF
late, however, an impression has OBJ
tanned that the President may see fit to
give the free trade sentiment liberal
representation upon the commission.
What this impression is based upon has
not developed. Whether it grew out of
any expressions of the President, or was
mere speculation, has not been stated.
The information is gaining ground, how
ever. that the President will carry ont
the law, not according to the desires of
any interested class, but in accordance
with its legitimate Interpretation. with
the view Of accomplishing the objects for
which the act was ostensibly framed.

During the recent trial before the Grim
inal branch of the Court of Common
Plvas in Oiuoin-Ot of Cherries Word for
grand larceny on board Of the steamer
John Gilbert, a nice point of law arose
as to whether this court had jurisdiction
in the case. Itappears that crime COM
mitted on the river under the iurisdic-
ton Of Indiana. and the criminal arrest
ed when landing in Ohio, is punishable
in either State. The defendant, through
counsel, claimed that Kentucky was the
State in which he was arrested, since the
Ohio shore was the boundary line, Ward
having been arrested on the boat. Prose
cutting Attorney Outcall contended that
the boundary line was low-water mark,
which proves to be the case, and since
the prisoner was arrested during high
water he was in the State of Ohio, and
that his court had jurisdiction. Judge
Conner held this to be the law, and the
trial proceeded.

From present appearances the surplus
revenue for the fiscal year ending June
80. 1882, will reach the enormous sum
of $3.50, 900, 900 or nearly that, an amount
two and half times greater than the
entire expenses of the government in
1860. Where is the authority to impose
snch a burden of taxation upon the peo
ple5 What constitutional provision ex
lists allowing the collection of so much
more money than is necessary to pay the
expenses Of our government Two years
ago the surplus was sos. 000, coo; last year
it reached 100000. 900; nobody knows
how much it will be next year.
Commenting on these figures the
Washington Post well says. "Increas-
ing so rapidly as does the country in
wealth and population, the revenue of
the government constantly grows larger
even under the same laws, necessitating
for that reason alone an occasional re-
vision and overhauling. Yet Congress,
the body IN which legislation is supposed
to be vested, contents itself by referring
to an outside aud irresponsible commits
sion the whole question of the tariff, and
will neither touch nor let anybody else
handle the subject of revision of inter
nal revenue. In the meantime this enor-
nous surplus is constantly going into the
Treasury, where Il lies exposed to all
sorts of attacks in the interest of every
possible scheme"

Under the heading ''The Sorry sr

Under the heading "The Sorry Speeta-
Gle in Charleston" the Baltimore Sun
says:
"a witness of the proceedings of the
Circuit Court at Charleston, S. c., pre-
sided over by Judges Bond and Bryan,
would perhaps be at loss for awhile to
remember in what county he was and
in what ceatury he lived. He would
most probably conclude, on observing
how both Judge and prosecuting counsel
cooperate to select partisan witnesses
pledged to convict, that the country
was England, and the date of the ruth
less proceedings about the year 1885,
when Jeffreys was on his famous judicial
Campaign" and the courts worked
SO much to the satisfaction of the Gen.
trail authority to whom the Judge proved
bis gratitude for his appointment: 1t is
q sorry spectacle to see Justice dragged
in the dirt, not only in the narrower
sense that individual defendants are
given no fair chance of acquittal, but in
the wider and more important one that
in South Carolina alone offenses are
prosecuted which in other States of the
Union the government neglects. JUS
tice to persons and justice TO States is
hardly secured by the inyidious pro.
ceedings at Charleston"

The New York Railroad Commission
bill was ordered to third reading in the
Senate of that State last Thursday. As
it now stands it gives the power of
appointing the Commissioners to the
Governor, but restricts its exercise by
providing that he shall name one ReDub
lican, one Democrat and one on the
nomination of the Presidents and EXecu
tive Committees of the Chamber of Com
merce, the New York Board of Trade
and Transportation, and the National
Autobiography League of New York.
The Assembly. before passing the bill,
amended it so as to provide that the
Commissioners should be elected by the
people. Whether the two Houses can
agree is yet to be tested.

In the course of his patient examins-

claims amounting to 81, 200, OOO,O OO The
New York World remarks, however,
that "Shipherd and his Peruvian Com

tain claims against Peru is indeed estsb-
lished. But as to the estimated value Of
those claims the country is still in fog.
Dir Blame plainly and positively put the
estimated value of the Landreau claim at

this very precise estimate nobody seems

Says the New York Sun: AN apprO
priation OF quarter of million dollars
for American forts causes grumbling in
Congress, while one of half a million
might create a riot. But Russia is order
ing forty-fve million dollars to be ex
pended on forts at Warsaw, Konow and
Gonionds. This lavishness eclipses even
our annual river and harbor jobs, and is
only surpassed when we devote half a
billion to pension swindles."

There is scarcely a doubt that the non
appearance Of Dorsey, the notorious star
route ringster, before the courts in
Washington, notwithstanding the pledge
given by his counsel that he should be
on hand promptly, is a part of the tao
tics which have been resOrted to all
along to delay the prosecution. This
must be very carefully limited at, how
ever, for Col. Bob Ingersoll, counsel for
the star reuters. and who has no fear of
the devil before his eyes, gets very angry
at such an insinuation, and calls people
liars in open court when they presume to
express it.
