HOWARD HAPPENINGS.
The Smith Lewis Affair Corrected
Religious Interest.

HOWARD, February 8, 1885.
EDITOR RECORD:
We understand between thirty-five and
forty scholars attend the day school,
Rev. Mr.. Jester has concluded to make
his home with us. A movement is on foot
to build him parsonage, and we trust the
sociable and supper to be given tomorrow
night will prove n success in that direction.
We had the pleasure of hearing Rev. d.
L. Raider, ID. d., preach on Sunday night,
january %, in the new school house. He
is an able preacher, and it is real pleasure
to listen to him-both in preaching and
private conversation.
Revs. Amsbury and Jester held interest
ing meetings every night last week and
Sunday. They succeeded in organizing n
Sunday school, with w. II. Lathim as su-
perintendent and Bible teacher. If the pa
rents will lay aside their petty gossip, and
have little charity for their neighbors'
wrongs-real or imaginary, rs they may
be; in short, have some regard for the
Golden Rule, !" and unite in a strong eff
fort to make this new and commendable
project successive will soon have n
good school, one that we will all enjoy
attending, and from which receive benefit.
Referring to the Smith-Lewis affair in
my last, Mr.. Smith desires me to say that
he was not arrested and bound over to
keep the peace, but that the justice very
unjustly required him to sign bond not
to break the peace with Lewis. 1t seems
Lewis cndeayored to get out warrant for
his arrest, but failed to show any grounds
for such proceeding. / gladly make the
above correction. The case will go to
court. While our thoughts are upon mat
tiers of this kind, we would like to ask I:
Can anyone tell us why our newly elected
justice and constables have not had their
bonds and other papers approved? As it
is, none of our precinct officers are qualified
to perform any duty, should they be called
upon to do so. Were it not that we have
a notary public we would have to go eight
or twelve miles to sign legal documents.

Grand Army Ball ut MaysviIIe.
MAYsvLLLE, Colorado, February g.

MAYsvILLE, Colorado, February g.
EDITOR RECORD:
Tuesday evening witnessed what was
decidedly the grandest affair of the season
in the way of ball, which was given by
Torbert Post, No. IL, of the Grand Army
of the Republic.
At about $50 the guests began to arrive.
and ere $50 about seventy-fve couples of
merry dancers were tripping the light fan
tastic, to the delightful music furnished
by Professor Ozmonis Orchestra of this
city. The curtain was raised, showing on
the stage an army camp, consisting of n
tent, in front of which was burning
campfire and stack of arms, tho whole
mantled with the stars and stripes. Many
of the heroes of the great strife were seen
to brush away tear after gazing on this,
to them, familiar scene. Valiant soldiers,
from both sides of the cause, were to be
seen mingling in brotherly manner, all i'm
tent upon enjoying themselves to the utter
most. Confederate officers, Union priyates,
Union officers, Confederate priyates-all
mingling in one common throng, was in
deed touching and gratifying scene. And
the ladies-may they ever enjoy perpetual
sun.hine-exerted themselves TO the ut
did they fail in a single instance. Dancing
was indulgcd in with vigor until 1920
when supper WAS announced. We found,
at the room lately occupied by J. Degena.
clothing establishment tables laden with
regular army rations-cofIee, hard tack,
pork, beans, pickles, etc, which the ladies
had prepared in apple-pie order. After
eating until they ran over, the dancers re-
turned to the hall, and resumed the Terpsi-
bated life until $50, when they wended
their way to their respective homes, tired
and happy.
To attempt to describe the toilets of the
| fair ones would be folly, but suffice to say
| that all were elegantly dressed The man
agcment, under the efficient supervision OF
Messrs. Kendall, Willis, Jasper, Stinson
and Altman, could not have been better
The farmers, their wives and daughters
from below, turned out well.

about $50. JOHNNY JuMPuP,

Governor Grants selection of B. +. Mont
gomcry for judge of the criminal court of
Arapahoe county was generally regarded as
an insult to the bar of the state, and it was
no doubt owing to the positive expressions
of sentiment on every hand that the nomi-
nation was Withdrawn, and the name of
Platt Rogers, of Denver, substituted.

PoLK-S DEFALCAT TON.


Never before in the history OF any
State officer has a more startling
sensation astOnished the people of
Tennessee than that of Friday last,
when the fact was made public that
State Treasurer, Marsh. t. Polk,
was a defaulter to the extent, prob
, ably, of 100000, and a fugitive in
foreign lands. We have no connec-
ton with that numerous class who
are always ready, whatever happens,
To cry out, Il told you so nor are
We prone 10 mOralize and sermoniZe
about the irreparable-but in this
particular instance il clearly appears
that extreme carelessness or gross
derelictiOn in duty lies at the door
of the Executive and legislative de-
partments Of the State government
upon whom, only in n less degree
than Treasurer Polk, lies the fault
of the loss to the State, if not the
criminality Of the defalcation. That
any officer. hOwsOever reputable and
IA onest he might be, could at one
time have in his possession State
funds to the amount of 5000, 600 Sc
cured only by bond OF 100000
exhibits n carlessnesS concerning the
protection of public funds that no
competent business man would toll
crate in the management of his pri-
waite affairs. This neglect is made
the more culpable when the fact -
considered that the strenuous Oppo-
sition to any investigation Of the
condition of the Treasury made by
certain parties in the last Legislature,
and the mysterious disappearance,
not to say larceny, of bill TO secure
the funds of the State in the hands
of the Treasurer when on the point
of its passage, sounded the warning
signal of danger The law author-
ICES the Governor, when occasion
demands, to require OF the Treasur-
er an increase in the amount of his
bond. When the legislature failed
to protect the tax payers OF the
State then Governor Hawkins, with
this authority vested in him and
these signs of the coming storm be-
fore his eyes, should have interPos-
cd for their protection, as it was
clearly his duty to do. Why it was
not done, Gov. Hawkins will, per-
haps, explain. We hope, however,
that one good will result from this
miserable, scandalous affair. That
this present experience will induce
the legislature now in session to
make impossible repetition ofsuch
a disaster. BY all means, now that
the horse is gone, tho stable should
be securely locked.

DEATH OF GAMBETTA

LONDON, January IN. Gambet-
Ia died at his residence at Vile
d'Avray, at midnight, in state OF
Inconsistencies. The death agony
lasted two hours, but he finally died
quite peacefully. Messrs. Spuller,
Etienne, Armand, Pronst, Hecht,
and DIR. FienEal were present at tho
last moment. The physicians in at
tendance say that his death was due
to pyamia caused by suppressed
erysipelas. A clot of blood which
had formed in the heart suffocated
him.
The death of Gambetta was an
nounced to Emperor William before
the New Years reception of the
Generals and Ministers, Prince
Bismarck was present. The Empe
ror expressed the opinion that peace
would be the lot of Germany for
long time to come.

Gen. Samuel II. Anderson, one OF
the most distinguished citizens OF
the State, died at his residence in
Nashville last Wednesday, in the
18th year of his age. He was a ma,
tive of Bedford county, Va, but re
moved 10 Tennessee with his par
ents when youth. lie was lieu
tenant colonel of the First Tennes
see Regiment in the Mexican war
and greatly distinguished himself
for cool courage and good judgment
Returning from that war, he was
elected cashier of the Bank OF Ten
nessee, in which capacity he served
until 1853, when he retired 10 ac-
cept the position of postmaster at
Nashville, which he held until the
breaking out of the civil war. Be
ing a man of decided convictions, hC
volunteered his services to the State
and was appointed by Gov. lsham
G.. Harris major general In the >tatc
forces. When these forces were
turned over to the COnfcderacy, he
was appointed brigadier general by
President Davis. His first service
to the Confcderacy was under Stone

part in a great many battles during
that long war, always acquitUing
himself with distinction and credit.

LATER POL h ARRESTED
But Escapes to MeXicO!

A special dispatch from San An
tonic, Texas, dated a. m, Jan. s,
says that Polk had been arrested
there that night. He was pr9par-
ing to cross the Rio Grande to enter
Mexico. He is dreadfully detected,
p. S.-A later special from Nash
Vile to the Tribune says that tele-
gram to Gov. Hawkins from San
Antonio announces the release of
Polk on habeas corpus and his es-
cape to Mexico. 1t is said that all
of Folks warrants were improperly
issued, and the question is sprung
that the banks are liable for a large
share of the defllcation. A resolu-
ton was adopted by both houses of
the legislature on the Sth directing
the Governor to offer a reward OF
$4,000 for the delivery of Polk to
the Tennessee authorities.
