thought it necessary to explain his
position On the State debt at all,
was not more explicit. There
is nothing in what he says
that is at all inconsistent
with his support of Mr.. Wilson.
" I am not repudiationist he says,
"nor savoring of those upon the
other hand who parade as mere
empty terms the honor and integrity
of our State to cloak political fraud. :"
This is precisely the attitude of
Wilson, Savage and Marks. They
deny that they are repudiati onists,
but they assail those who oppose
them as using the honor and integ-
rity OF the State as mere empty
terms "to cloak political fraud.
They charge all State credit men
with being political wire-pullers,
and all that. Again disclaiming any
desire to return to discussion which
we were willing should be considered
as closed with MIR. Paynes election,
until subsequent events should make
it pertinent and profitable, we are
forced to the conclusion that if his
remarks above quoted mean anything
at all, they prove the correctness Of
what we said in the canvass. That
he voted for Wilson he does not deny
and he has not since changed his
mind on the question of the State
| debt.

MAYOR PAYNE ON THE STATE DEBT

During the municipal contest in
this city we opposed the election of
MIR. Payne, and gave as one of the
reasons why he should not be elected,
that he is in favor of repudiating
large proportion OF the State debt,
as evidenced by his support of
s. F. Wilson in the last Guber-
material election. We have not
changed our mind On the SUBJ
ject. We believed and still be
lieve, that his election will encour-
age the reputation sentiment in
this section. Future events will
prove whether we are correct in our
belief. But for the present we have
no desire to continue this discussion,
and would say nothing now, had not
mayor Payne alluded to it in his
message to the board of aldermen
last Saturday, which message ap.
peared in full In our last issue.
His object in abiding to it was
to reply to or explain away
our charges made during the munich
pal canvass. After admitting thathe
voted for Wilson and explaining that
he is not in favor of repudiating any
part of the city debt, charge which,
by the way, was not made against
him, he goes on to say:
I am not a repudiat;onist, there's
fore, nor savoring of those upon the
other hand who parade as mere empty
terms the honor and integrity of our
State to cloak political fraud. This
charge-my low tax issue, they callit
consists solely in my right to believe
as I do to-day, without the stain of
reputation, upon the conviction that
political wire-pullers have used and
abused great financial question, res

weighed and pondered without pre-
cipitation and indecent haste, would

ment he was nosing about the rooms
in the National Hotel occupied by
the jury, and happend to find news
paper lying on table. He jumped
to the conclusion that the
jurors were guilty of reading the
papers, and determined that it was
his duty, in the interest OF justice, to
expose them. So, creeping in when
no one else was present, he secured
his prize and hied him away to in
form Scoville and Jno. W. Guiteau.
The trial of Guiteau has thus far cost
the government about thirty thou
sand dollars, besides immense
worry and excitement to the peo-
pie throughout the country. If the
performance has to be repeated mere
ly because little evening newspaper
happened to be found in the room
occupied by the jurors, it would be
an outrage, and Mr.. Snyder would
stand before the country in an un-
enviable attitude.
It appears from our dispatches
this morning that he has already
been indicted for perjury. Accor-
ding to the statement of the jurors
he has lied. 1t would be strange
and novel phase of justice to put the
jurors who rendered the righteous
verdict, on trial as Scoville proposes.
The chances for a new trial do not
seem to be very encouraging to the
friends of Guiteau.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

A very important decision was rem
dered in the United States District
Court by Judge Hammond last
Friday. Lauderdale County, in this
State, issued bonds to aid in the con-
struction of the Paducah and Mems
phis Railroad. The county defaulted
in the payment of the interest on
these bonds. In January of last year
Lucinda Watts, one of the holders
of the bonds, recovered judgment
against the county for $4,000 on
unpaid coupons, which was affirmed
by the Supreme Court of the United
States. A peremptory writ of man-
damus was issued, requiring the
court to levy tax sufficient
to meet the judgment. About
twenty of the justices of
the county, to evade obedience
to the writ, resigned their offices.
Their designations were accepted by
the County Court, which left the
county without a court to make this
levy or for any other purpose. The
law requires the sheriff to hold an
election to fill such vacancies, but
this he failed to do, because pub
lie sentiment in the county de-
mands that all county officers
shall do whatever they can to eyade
the payment of this debt. The
plaintiff sued out a rule on the re-
signing justices, to show cause why
they should not be punished for con
tempt of the process of the court,
claiming that the act of resignation
was contempt, and that the con-
stltution continued the resigning
officers in Office until their successors
were qualified. The justices APP
peared and plead their right to res
sign. The court sustained the plea
of the plaintiff and rendering his
decision said:
The whole case shows q deliberate
intention on the part of these officers,
no doubt in obedience to popular
sentiment, circumvent the obligation
imposed by law to levy the tax to pay
these bonds. l have been inclined to
at once impose, as penalty for this
contempt OF the Judgment as fine
distributing the sum among the re-
spondents according to their re-
spective abilities to pay, and to com.
NIT them until the fines and costs
were paid and the writ obeyed; but
on reflection, I have concluded to
afford another opportunity for ODE
dlence to the writ of mandumus,
having received assurances that il
the court decides the designations
Intellectual, no further resistance will
be made to the process. The court
therefore adiudges respondents in
contempt of its process, but for the
present withholds sentence and di
reefs en- alias mandamus 10 issue re-
curing these resp ondents and their
successors in Office to levy the tax at
its next regular levy in April, as
other taxes are levied, and to collect
the same as required by law; and
until it shall be made known to the
court how the writ has been obeyec
all other matters are reserved.

Horrible Murder,

WHEEL NG, WA, October "A special
to the Intetiigeneer says a most bloodhound
ling homicide occurred about fourteen miles
from Clarksburg Sunday morning, about /
O'Clock. John Bogges, jr, killed his wife
and daughter, aged thirteen, while in a fit OF
mental arrangement, induced from strong
drink. He attacked his wife while in bed
She called her daughter, who came and as
sisted her mother to get loose from the grasp
of her father. They then fled through the
house, and he grabbed large iron poker
and followed. Overtaking his wife he hit
her two blows, the last of which proved fatal.
1t seems that the daughter killed had come
up 10 help save her mother, and with one
blow he killed her also. The other children
fled. When found the mother and daughter
were found lying together in the road near
the house dead. Bogges was found in the
houss in a state Of intoxication. He denied
the Killing, or knowing anything about it.
He vas well-to-do farmer, living on Rock
camp, Harrison county, and of an old and
respected family. The occurrence created
great excitement, and is without parallel in
this section.
