it in 1881, and the court below charged that
they could not maintain the action be-
cause more than one year had interviewed
between the oecural of their exclusive right
and the bringing of the suit. Two of the
horses seized under the replevin writ had
been received by the widow in exchange
for two of those which came to her hands

The advertisement of the Mississippi CO.
operative Fire Insurance Association which
appears elsewhere, will attract general at
tention The Association is applying to the
protection OF property against loss or de-
struction by fire the plan upon which the
Benevolent Societies insure the lives of
their members, and which has been found
to work SO admirably in practice The high
character and social st lnding of its officers
affords safe guaranty that heafiairs of the
Association will be honestly, and economi-
cally administered, Judge Frederic Speed,
the President, has for many years been a
resident of this city, and no man stands
higher in the estimation of our citizens and
the fact that he is at the head Of the Masonic
fraternity in the State, demonstrates that his
worth and character are apprecia ted

prominence in Kinds county, and belongs

is an officer of the Grand Lodge Of knights
Of Pythies, and has consequently an init
mate knowledge of the plan Of insurance, in
the execution Of which he is engaged Mr..
JET. II. Gray, the Secretary, is justly one Of
the most popular young men of our city,
and Samuel NJ. Shelton, Esq. is and has
been for many years. one of the leading
members of the bar of this and Kinds

name to and is prominently identified with
the venture Is enough to establish conf
dence in the wide circle OF his acquaint.
ance, to say the least that he has full faith
in the merits and probabilities Of success Of
the Association, for wherever he is known
he enjoys the character OF cautious and
prudent man who would be last to engage in
any wildcat scheme The selection of Mr.
Eugene A. Shelton, as the General Manager
Of the Association, will inspire confidence il
it's merits among the wide circle Of his ac
auaintanee in Rankin county where he re
sides. We have been thus particular in re

this enterprise, because their unexcepton
able standing affords the best possible evi

SENATOR GEORGE says the Missis-

vote on the civil service bill.-Memphls
Appeal.
There must be mistake about this.
We have seen no abuse of Senator George
IN the Mississippi papers. Probably
some of these papers do not endorse his
vote on the civil service bill, but they
are not giving him hades on that &C
count. We do not believe the civil ser,
Vice bill is a measure in the direction Of
reform or that it will accomplish good
results. But still we have no criticisms

the trial of the replevin suit, the defendants

Hold
l. The judgment for damages against the
constable in the replevin suit did not pre-
elude recovery against the obligors on the
indemnifying bond, though actual payment
of such damage would have done so.
2. The constable might, in the replevin
suit have shielded himself from liability by
filing or pleading the bond under S45 Code
1871, but his failure to do this did not affect
the liability of those who by the bond had
expressly made themselves liable.
s. In replevin suits damages are recover.
able therefore if in such suit the jury re
fuse to award them, the verdict is bar to
any other proceedings which seek to recover
them; but if on the other hand they are not
awarded in the replevin suit. but are
collected under that judgment, the obligor'
on the indemnifying bond can be made t

The Advance on Sontay.

PARIS, December 20.-A Hong
Kong dispatch says the French
forces have captured the principal
outposts of Sontay, embracing five
strongly fortified villages. The ene-
my made stubborn resistance. The
French loss was two hundred men
and fifteen officers killed and
wounded. Admiral Courbet, who
commanded the expedition, had
1000 men, In which 1900 engaged
in the action, the rest being held IN
reserve. The Chinese still hold the
fortress OF Sontay, which is sur
rounded by French forces. The
French found the position reinforced
from Bac Mini, which was almost
deserted. The garrison OF Hal
Dzuong reconnoitered to within a
mile OF Bae Mini on the 9th, with
out opposition. Reinforcements OF
$500 troops will be sent to Tonquin
within the next fortnight.
Admiral Peyron, Minister of Ma
rlne, has received the following tele-
gram from Admiral Courbet, dated
before Sontay, December l6; The
expedition left Hanoi on the 11th
instant and captured Fort Phusa
and all the earthworks erected on
the bank of the Song Koi (Red Riv-
err opposite Sontay. The assault
was carried cut by the marine in
fsntry and Algerian sharpshooters
The flotilla rendered very efficient
assistance. The enemy were very
well armed and resisted desperately.

SPEAKING of President making
the Lancaster Inquirer well OBJ
serves;
ANYBODY who expects to secure
the nomination of a candidate at
the next Republican National Con-
vention by booming" him, will be
wofully disappointed. Such things
are too thin. The delegates who 90
to that convention will make up
their minds that the best and strong
est man is the only safe one TO nom
nate. 1t will not do to let personal
preferences rule, nor to allow boSms
got up by designing men to have
any weight in the decision. such
things might carry the day under
some circumstances, but the political
parties are Just now too evenly bal
arced for that kind of nonsense.
No faction in that convention can
make anything by forcing, or at
tempting to force the nomination OF
a favorite. The day for such things
has, for the present at least, gone by.
There must be real union, or else de-
feat"
There is another thing to be con-
sidered in regard to this matter, that
will, in large degree, prevent the
booming" of candidates into noml-
nation. Each Congressional district
is entitled to select its own delegates
to the National Convention, and as
these will be immediately RESPONSE
bic to their respective constituents,
and will scarcely dare violate the
sentiments or preferences of the Re-
publicans Of the district they repre-
sent. there is not much margin left
for booming an undesirable candi-
date

WASHINGTON, December 21.-The
grand jury of the District yesterday
handed to United States District
Attorney Corkhill a presentment
against n. w. Fitzgerald, S. c. Fitz-
gerald and A. B. Webb, for fraudu
lent use ofthe mails and for defraud-
ing claimants for pensions. Colonel
Corkhill is overwhelming with the
accumulation of evidence OF the wide
extent of pension frands. The atten-
ton given the matter by the press,
has put him in possession of several
thousand cases where petty frauds
have been committed upou the poor
and intirm.
Evidence has been discovered of a
persistent attempt to influence the
grand jury in the case of Fitzgerald.
Every number of The Critic, contain
ing an open letter from Fitzgerald,
attacking District Attorney Corkhill
and charging that he was pursuing
Fitzgerald on personal grounds.
The foreman of the grand jury re-
ceived twenty marked copies of this
paper. On being told of this Colo
mel Corkhill said he should call the
attention of the court to-day.

State prosecutions must be disposed
of before the trial in the Federal

he receives vast patches by every

Bold Burglars.

NoRR1sTowN, December 90
While the family of Joshua B. Heck
Ter, ieweler, and a few hired men
were seated at the supper table after
dark in Heckler's house, in Main
land, last Tuesday, three masked
men suddenly rushed into the room
and presented loaded revolvers at
their heads, threatening death should
any outcry be made. The evident
intention of the desperadoes was to
take possession of the jewelry store,
which contains a large stock of val
liable goods.
The masked burglars were well
provided with ropes, gags and other
paraphernalia to commit bold bur-
glary. Mr.. Heckler, however, made
a lucky escape from the room, but
outside encountered a fourth masked
burglar, with whom he had a des-
perate struggle, but by his loud
cries for assistance the bold quar-
tette were frightened off. In the
supper room, however, in the mean
while, there was a struggle with the
robbers, during which Mrs. Heckler
was knocked down with a chair.
