NE CASE or sERGI. MASON.

The following manly article, by
Praf George Beck, III the Platteville
Witness, il III refreshing contrast to
tie usual outpourings Of iiendish
slndictiveness on the same subject
with which the country is now SO
generally afflicted
There is just at present over the
country a great overflow of senti-
mental gush III regard TO Mason, the
would-hc assassin If Guiteau.
Petitions praying for his pardon
are receiving signatures ~ thous-
ands and there Il !, disposition to
regard him II i great hero
With at If this We cannot SYM
pathize w haze heretofore ex-
pressed or sentiments il regard to
tie assassin Of the President and
have nothing to retract
W regard the act of Mason as
elnally unlawful and cowardly with
his.
.;uiteau was IN the power of the
Inv, helpless Of himself, and no

titled ii the forms Of fair trial.

hand the execution Of vengeance.
Notwithstanding the indignation
Of Guiteau nothing can 50 fully
satisfy tile sense of Justice rs his
trial, conviction and punishment,
according to law, and we would
apply the same remark in regard to
Mason, and III view If all the cir
eumstances IT the case, We do not
consider his sentence undescrved.
There are some crimes for which
laws Ire wholly inadequate, and
great lerity has been shown in many
such eases where individuals have
gone beyond the law or III advance
81 il, and also in cases where the
execution Of the law has been re-
gar,ied as uncertain, but not even
these very poor excuses can be
pleaded III justification of this act.
He had no more right to shoot at
Guiteau than the latter had 10 shoot
It the President, or than he had to
shoot 1T any other person. 1t was 4
willful and deliberate violation Of
law and hrcech If military disci-
pine, which we do not wish to see
encouraged Human life i already
held too cheap in this country, more
s. than in any other civilized coun-
try in the world, and we shall re
ioiee at any thing tending to make
il more sacred.
We learn while writing that the
Judge-Advoeate Gen. has decided
that the trial of Mason was illegal.
None will insist more strongly than
We that he may have all the advsn-
,tages which proper construction OF
the law will allow, nor be more
pleased to know that the civil Law
has triumphed over the military in
time Of peace. What we desire is
that popular feeling shall not inter-
fere with the just execution of the
law.

IL She q Fraud2

A BAzoo reporter learned, yesterday,
that woman named Mrs. Charles Lewis,
living in Ritchey's addition, was canvass
ing the city, representing that she and her
family are in destitute circumstances and
greatly in need of assistance.
1t is claimed that such is not the case.
as Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis own the property
where Trey reside and have all the COM
forts of home.
They removed here from Petersburg, ILL.,,
some months ago, where. it is said, they
still have some property. A BAzoO re-
porter was informed that Mrs. Lewis had
quite a number of donations on
the representations she made, to which she
was not in the least entitled.
The BAzoo believes in extending chart
whe ever it is really needed, but while the
city has SO many worthy applicants ON its
hands, it might be good idea 10 investi-
gate Mrs. Lewis claim before further as
'istance is rendered.

At Rest.

Yesterday afternoon, at o'clock, Eliza,
wife of Mr.. AL. Smith, ex-marshal of this
city, died at her late residence on West
Pettis street. Mrs. Smith has been a sui
feTer for more than three wears from
dropsy, and for a year previous to her
death had been confined to her bed. All
that love could do Or skill accomplish was
done to relieve Der OF her suffer, ags, but
only death did that. She had been, for
many ye-rs, loving wife and mother,
and she leaves husband and three chill
dren, two boys, aged respectively eight and
twelve years, and daughter aged eighteen
years, to mourn her death. She was forty
miro years old, and for many years had
been devoted christian
Her funeral takes place tomorrow at
2:30 O'Clock p m, from the house, to which
all friends of the family are invited. In
this bereavement, Mr.. Smith and his
motherless children have the symdsthy of
a large circle of friends.

Oh, IT'S PITIFUL,
That in q Whole City Full, Friends
He Had None.

One of the saddest sights which can ever
be presented, is that of life, after years
of struggle, and toll, and poverty, to be
compelled to round up the race alone,
homeless and penniless. And yet, right in
this city of wealth, culture, generosity and
plenty, there is an old man whose life is
slowly pulssting away, who hasn't friend
in the world other than the kind marshal
and police officers. This old man has
been permitted To stay I'm the station house
for some two weeks, as he has nowhere else
TO stay, except it be under the bending sky
and Oh the unfeeling ground.
His is, indeed, pitiful case, and the
story he tells but illustrates the oft-repeat-
ed assertion that We are largely the "chil-
dren of circumstances" Years agone life
for him gave promise of fair success and
peaceful ending Little did he think
that for him there would be such stony
path as his feet have trod in the past few
years and that at last, uncared for. he
would lie down To die the death of "A pau
per.
But so it is with him, and i'm but shor,
time he will slip into grave over which
not one tear will be shed And vet, could
not something he done TO give this old
man a momentary glimpse of that charity
which is the boast OF civilization and out
of which springs the truth of the words
NJ the Bard of AVIAN that zone touch of
nature makes the whole world kim" A

For some time a sensational case, from
the neighborhood of Lamonte, has been
hanging fire in Squire Fishers court.
The BAzoo has already given an account
of the arrest al Adam Harris and his wife.

charged with cruelty To boy, the son OF
Adam by his first wife, mot Eve, however,.
Yesterday morning the case was brought
TO trial and nearly all day the battle
ragged with considerable vigor. for Prosecu-
ting Attorney Heard was on one side and
Col. Snoddy was leading the hosts on the
other, and the colored troops under these
able captains fought nobly.
There was "a cloud of witnesses" as
some one has remarked, and they blocked
the passage way to the 'squire's seat of
justice with 3 persistency which showed
their determination to git on dat STAN an
tell all / knowed oh de trubble." The d.
rect, cross and redirect examinations of
these dusky children of the prairie were
most amusing at times, and the spectators
felt that it was good to be there
One old darkey was especially funny,
and some of his replies to the gallant
colonel brought down the house, the court
even relaxing its wonted dignity.
At last, like all things terrestrial, this
trial came to q close The husband was
discharged, but his better half was fined
i've dollars, which, with the costs, footed
up some thirty dollars. The money was
raised and the black cloud lifted itself and
'ailed away towards Lamonte

Without Judge or Jury.

Yesterday, Mrs. Belle CARRIER, who is
not unknown to fame, but who is rather
well-known rs of litigious nature, caused
the arrest of little colo ed boy by the
name of Jimmie Sears. charging him with
the theft of q silk handkerchief. Prior to
this procedure Mrs. CARRIER had sworn out
a search warrant for the purpose of having
the Sears domicile ransacked by an ennis
sary of the law for the missing "vipe." As
it was NON est comeatible, the lady was
piqued and the arrest resulted.
When Constable r. w. Barnett took
charge of the boy, Mn. CARRIER forgot that
the law in this county is not administered
like il is in China, where they behead q
fellow and then try him Afterwards to see
if he is guilty, but that here the trial
usually occurs before the hanging bee.
She insisted that the officer take his
prisoner At once to the Jail and lock him
up for . few days, "iust to punish him .
little, anyhow"
OF course, as gallant . man and Is
obliging an officer Is the constable, he
could not comply with the request, and rs
Jimmie gave bond before Square Fisher,
his trial will take place tomorrow.

His Case Continued

On Thursday, +. ID Gallivan, a Young
man well-known in this city, was arraign-
ell IN the police court, at the instance of
one Babe" Hunt, woman who resides on
Main street, charged with disturbing the
peace. Gallivan, it seems, i'm company
with pal, called at the woman's room, a
few nights ago. and endeavored to effect an
entrance, and during the subsequent
trouble, drew pistol on "Babe" For this
ne was tined S25. He claimed that some
OF his witnesses were not present at the
trial, which was the cause of his convic-
tion, So a new trial was granted him and
set for yesterday. Again some of the wit
nesses for both state and defendant were
absent, and the trial was postponed until
Monday.
1t is expected some tall swearing will be
done, and Gallivan's friends claim to have
no fear of the result.

Bounce Them.

A stranger stopping at the Garrison
house. yesterday, remarked that Sedalia
had more indOlent negroes than any city
OF its size in the country, and he stated
nothing but the truth At the time there
were no less than twelve or fifteen Of these
worthless vagabonds standing around in
front OF the house, indulging i'm profanity.
obscene language, and otherwise deporting
themselves in anything but decorous
manner. But few feet distant were sew
eral ladies and children, who were com
PEELED to hear all that was said and all
that was done.
Mr.. Brown, proprietor of the Garrison
house, has used every effort to have these
scalawags kept from in front of his premises,
but to no purpose. They are disgrace to
the city. and some means should be intro
duced TO get rid of them. And there are
a number OF white loafers who should also
be bounced.

Geary DISCHARGED.

Will Geary, who was arrested some days
ago at the instance of Josh. Iredale. agent
for Barkalow Bros, news agents on the X
4 T., charged with embezzlement. had an
examination before Squire Fisher yester-
day afternoon and was discharged.
Geary was acting as peanut" for Ire
dale and came in SIP short on one trip, and
claimed to have lost the money. This
proved to be the case, but it was while en-
gagged in bucking the tiger in a Texas
gambling hell
The court held that as the money was
taken in Texas, no jurisdiction could be
had here, hence the prisoners discharge.
Iredale is not inclined to let the matter
drop, and Geary may yet have some
trouble over il.

At the Rink.

Yesterday afternoon witnessed a large
and merry assembly at the skating rink
While the sport of itself is fascinating,
there was an additional attraction in the
nature of prize TO the best girl skater.
About two o'clock the crowd commenced
gathering at the rink, mostly little misses,
to determine which was the best skater. The
prize was beautiful morocco work box,
lined with satin, and contained aticles
used insewing. A committee was appoint
ed, consisting Of Misses Carrie Wiler, Ella
Porter and Jessie AinswOrth, to determine
who was the most graceful girl skater
present, and they decided that Miss Emma
LYON was entitled to the prize. She was
tie best, without any exception, and
deserved all the praise accorded her.
Last night another large gathering
assembled at the park, on the occasion Of
the awarding of the prize to the most ac-
lady skater. The Sedalia
silver cornet band furnished some excellent
music, and it was . merry thing indeed.
The prize was q handsome glove box
and handkerchief box, lined with white
and red satin, valued at S., and both we're
beautiful. Messrs. w. F. Ilgenfritz, B. F.
Hickman and Theo. Lennon were ap-
pointed committee to look after the bal
lOting and at the conclusion the following
vote was announced: Miss Eva johnson,
IS; Miss Carrie Weller, SO; Miss Van
Camp, IL. Mrs. Highleyman, 10; Miss
Porter 4; Miss Simonds, 4; Mrs. Lyon,
1. 1t was universally conceded that Miss
Johnson was entitled to the prize.
The rink will be opened on Tuesday,
and Friday, and matinee each
afternoon. On mex. Saturday afternoon a
prize will be awarded to the bes, bow
skater.

He Had Wealth.

Last night as . BAzOO reporter was go
ing up Main street he saw some one fall
from the sidewalk into the mud Of the gut
ter. Going up to the person, the reporter
found him to be an old man, we'll dressed
and well drunk. Assisting The old man to
his feet the twain started for the depot, as
the old gentleman said he wanted to go to
Kansas City. On the way they were met
by another newspaper man who also
kindly lent helping hand. At the depot
Officer Whelan took charge of the man and
secured him a room at the Pacific house
On his person was found S3l6, mostly i'm
twenty dollar gold pieces, a gold watch and
chain and Masonic pin. He is physi-
clan, and was ON his way to visit his son.
1t was lucky that he fell into the hands of
rich reporters
