KENTUCKY has congressman by
the name of Thompson. lie has killed
six men since the war, always shoot
ing them in the head with bis ever
convenient pop. His last victim was
prominent merchant, Mr.. Walter
Davis, who was killed on the 27th ult.,
at Harrodsburg Junction. The expla-
tion given by Mr.. Thompsonisi that
his wife had a weakness for strong
drink which she could not resist;
Davis knew this weakness and on one
occasion had Piled her with drink at
a hotel in Cincinnati, during Thomp-
sons absence, took her to his room,
and later in the night cast her out i'll
the hallway where she was discovered
by the servants, in an insensiblc con
dition. After the killing, Thompson
went before the nearest district judge,
stated his case, and was released on a
$4,000 bond. Public opinion seems
to Justify the killing.

Nearly every one of our exchanges
contained, in their last issue, short
paragraph denouncing Mr., G. b, Shaw,
sheriff of Vermilion parish, as de-
falter in the sum of about $4,000, As
much as we desire to see the faults Of
public men disclosed before the peo-
pie, we cannot sanction a course
wherein haste is the ruling motive.
We have not been instructed by Mr..
Shaw, or anybody else, to refute the
charge made against him, nor will we
do it, but it is our purpose to state
clearly how and why the defalcation,
has been made, as given to us by
gentleman of high standing among
the people of Ncrmilion, in which
parish he resides and holds u proml"
nent position. Mr.. Shaw's over-in-
diligence of heart has, unfortunately
for him in that case, obscured his
duty as an officer, and when the time
came for the friends whom he had
benefited to reimburse him, they turn
ed their backs upon him, regardless of
the grave position into which, he was
left. Our Informant also stated that
Mr. Shaw does not deny the charge,
but that on the contrary he asserts
his intention to adjust the whole mat
ter if due respite is allowed him,
Every man in this section knows that
the parish of Vefmllion, several years
ago, was infested vii with h 4 H,ngrccnary
s5aRiu df robbers, Williams and miscre'
ants of every kind, and it is also gen
orally known that it is due to Mr.,
Shaw's efficiency and just rigor as
sheriff that these outlaws have long
since been almost completely extir-
pated, cliastised, or driven away,
Give him due credit, then, though the
heavens should fall. II ho Is guilty
of a little waywardness, wo feel con
fident that he will return to the path
from which he has erred, and that
the accusation Of having defaHlted his
constituents will not have tile slightest
effect of diminishing their appreca-
tion and support for him, There are
certainly greater dafanlters than him
in almost every parish Of the state,
known as snch, and still they are left
alone.

Recent improvements in the max.
ing of stylographic pens have made
them a very serviceable and almost
indispensable instrument for those
having occasion to do much writing
and who desire a convenient pen al
hand wherever they may be. They
have come into such general use that
it is rather late to recommend them
to anybody, but there have been
some imp ovements in the manufac.
ture of the Livermore Stylographic
Pen relating to the fastening of the
needle and the ease with which it can
be cleaned and repaired, which have
occasioned much favorable comment.
There are now over 500, 900 of these
pens in use, to say nothing of numer-
GUS inferior limitations. They make
not only very handsome but very
useful implement. The manufac-
turers have cut down the price of
their short plain pens to 50, and
short gold mounted to $3.50 each.
BY renting the amount to Louis E.
Dunlap, Manager Stylographic Pen
Company, $50 Washington Street,
Boston, the pen. together with a
package of superior INK, will be sent
by return mail, and the money will
be at once refunded if they do not
prove to be perfect and satisfactory

ten years. The increase i'll the num-
Der of messages sent is remarkable.
In lS7O-7l the total nun Der of dis.
patches was only $3.50 1T; in 1881
80 it had risen to 81 ,345, S6l. After
deducting about 5000 900 press and

the average number of private dis

Not Enough to Pay the Lawyers.

The end of the famous Hallet Kilbourn case
is not yet. Judge Cox In the circuit court at
Washington yesterday set aside the last verdict for
100000 the ground that It was excessive. 1t was
in 1876 that Kllbourn was locked up forty Ave days
for refusing to answer the questions Of commit
tee of the house Representatives concerning the
transactions of certain real estate pool in the
district After being released he brought suit
against the ex- sergeant-Rtarms of the house, Mr.,
Thompson, and others, asking damages for false
imprisonment After many delays he obtained q
verdict in April, 1882, for 100000 new trial was
granted and the verdict in that is now set aside.
The judge intimRted that $4,000 would be enough,
That amount probably will not pay tho Kilbourn
laMyers.
National Republican., 1883-11-19

The second verdict in the Kilbourn case
has been set aside as excessive. The inquiry
naturally arises, What is a jury to decide? +?
as the judge would find if on the jury, what
need of a jury at all? The case of Mr.. Kill
bourn is that of every citizen who desires to
be secure in his personal liberty against arbi-
trary power. 1t is probable that a new trial
will be had at once, and that a third assess.
ment of damages made by tho jury will be q
fnality.

THIS is not white mans government II
claims to be a government by the people. All
native born Americans and all naturalized
citizens are "people," without any color line
about it. If the Anglo-Saxon race maintains
supremacy it must be by the power Of reason
and moral forces, and not by the shotgun and
pistol. Bourbon democracy calls on the
white men of tho south to abandon the repub-
