The case Of VI. T. Polk, the de-
Elultiug Treasurer, was taken up
in the criminal court ut Nashville,
last Friday. Judge Allen stated
that he had ordered the arrest OF
Polk on information received thro
one of the attorneys, and thought 1t
advisable that the bonds should be
increased. Polk was deeply affect
Cd and made a statement denying
that he intended To leave. His bond
was increased to $4,000, and the
sheriff was ordered 10 keep Polk in
custody until the proper security
was given. Polk made strong eff
forts TO induce some friends to give
the bond. but they refused, and he
was committed to the Jail to remain
until il Is given. Polk Is reported
rs very much depressed, and shed
tears freely at the thought Of being
Lrsertedsbv his friends.

4 WAGONLOAD OF DOLLARS.

The vaults of the sub are
over-stocked with silver, and Gen.
Edwards couple of days ago de-
termined to move a portion of his
stock to the Safe Deposit Company.
Accordingly. an express wagon, re-
Gently backed up in front of the
main entrance to the Insurance
building, and three officers, detailed
for the service, took position near it.
A gang of colored laborers with
handbarrows were then put into
service, and for half hour they
passed in and out, carrying at each
trip one or two white duck bags, on
whose surface were plainly outlined
the big silver dollars which formed
the contents. Each bag contained
about 1 900 of the coins, and two of
the bags were about as much as any
one man was capable of carrying.
The line of carriers were under sur
veillauce of detectives from the mo-
ment they took up their loads at
the door of the vaults on the main
floor, until they deposited them on
the rear end of the wagon, where
two clerks were keeping tally.
Quite crowd collected to witness
this great volume of precious metal,
and many of the expressions of the
darkies and of the passers-by were
amusing When ninety sacks had
been loaded into the wagon, repre-
senting $4,000, the big springs
were very much fattened and the
vehicle creaked.

cBFSUAU,S SUCCESSOR.

Hon. William S. Woods, of Cos
hen. now Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court ofthe State of Indiana,
has been appointed judge Of the
United States District Court Of In
diana. A Washington correspond
ent of the Cincinnati NelcS journal
gives an interesting account ofthe
details of this triumph Of Gresham,
further complicating as it does the
happiness of the "grand old party.
IL seems that Gresham was appoint
ed Postmaster General without con-
sultation with Senator Harrison by
the President, and Harrison knew
nothing of the appointment until 1t
had been made, and through the
generosity and courtesy of Gresham
who, made the suggestion, Harrison
was permitted to notify him of the
presidents choice. 1t would be
amusing, says the correspondent, to
the public to read <Harrison's tele-
gram to Gresham informing him Of
his appointment, for Harrison word
ed his telegram SO adroitly as to
suggest that he had been the noble
Warwick that had ennobled Ores
ham. Immediately after the APP
pointment of Gresham, applicants
for the vacant judgeship sent in
their testimonials to Harrison, and
an interview, published in one OF
the indianapolis papers, he said that
"No appointment would be made TO
fill the judicial vacancy until he had
held a conference with the presi-
dent, implying that the man he
recommended would receive the APP
pointment. Until that interview
appeared, Judge Gresham was in
ciined to concede the appointment
of his successor to Harrison. But
his personal friends advised him
that he could not afford to let Har-
rison, by indirectien, claim credit
for his appointment and for the
naming of his successor to the Judge
ship. They said to him, "lou have
only n year before the State con-
vention meets in which to make
your leadership in Indiana secure.
You can not afford to waste any
time. The thing for you to do is to
name your successor" Gresham
acted on this advice, and with great
practical sense determined to name
the man against whom Lobody
could say a word. Woods is judge
of the United States District Court,
and Gresham is the leader of the
Republican party in Indiana. III
tie Republican party chooses It's
candidate for president from lndi-
ana, il will be Gresham. John Z.
New was smart enough to acknowl-
edge the fact when he heard of
Gresham's appointment as Psstmas-
ter General. The Republican press
of the country have, with surPrIs-
ing unanimity, done the same. The
outlook for 1884 is that Mcdonald
and Gresham will be pitted against
each other, and as they are both
thoroughbreds we may look tor a
lively race.

80 sHOTGUN THEORY.

Sir. Watterson, in the Courier
Journal, makes the occasion OF the
killing of Davis by Thompson, at
Harrodsburg, Ky, the subject Of
one of his characteristic slObber-
ing aud emotional editorials appeal
ing for the sanctity of the " higher
law. and paying this beautiful and
business like tribute to the " higher
laws" favorite instrument of exc
cution
"The shotgun is mightier than the
courts. IL j. a universal leveler- IL
simpIifi,s and cheapens the law, and
brings IL To the door OF the poorest when
need is, and long may its policy pre-
vail"
To which rhapsody Doak, of the
the Cincinnati NelrS Journal, has
this to say: There are at least
two serious objections to this "un-
written code" which Mr.. Watterson
is so much in love with. The shot
gun is an unreasoning brute and
has an unfortunate habit of killing
innocent people. \ few years ago
IL invaded the temple of justice at
Princeton, Ky, and slaughtered
two defenseless prisoners whose IN
nocencc was demonstrated by the
lower law. Then, again, the worst
men are the most frequent ministers
ofthis higher law" Tom Buford
appealed to it when he reversed
n Judge of Kentucky's highest court
of the lower law. Tom Crittenden
appealed to il when he wanted TO
rc6ut the testimony of a negro wit
ness before "a magistrates court
This last mentioned case was an sX-
trcme application Of the Kentucky
higher law" right under the nose
OF the C0urier-JOWHdL To people
who are not enamored Of the lofty
tenrts of the higher law, 1t look
cd like case of cOwardly, cold
blooded. malicious murder. The
investigation made by the Courier
Journal and by the courts did not
lift il above this low level, but the
..hipher law was lowered TO meet
the emergency. One half of the
Jury justified the murder, and the
other half decided under the "high-
er Las" that il was manslaughter-
BY its silence the COHrtsr-.J0HTRat
would seem TO approve the finding.
Had Crittenden been the slain in
stead OF the slayer, the higher law
would have elevated the "nigger
to the cross-bar Of a telegraph pole.
Therefore, the higher law Is
partial law. The shotgun does not
administer equal aud exact justice
20 all men. That lit is a universal
leveler," and that il "cheapens the
law" is very doubtful praise. Upon
the whole we are hardly prepared
20 accept Mr.. WattersOn's code with
out revision. 1.-The will so amend it
that the lower law shall first ex--
anime into the facts and then turn
the guilty wretch over to the "hlgh-
er law" for execution, we shall not
object to its inauguration in Ken
tucky. and II it Is found TO work
well we might be induced 10 recon-
mend il to the Indians and Nor
mons.

PORK PROHIBITION.
WHY GERMANY INTERDICTs AMERICAN
HOG PRODUCTS.


New YORK, May 1.-The COM
mittee of importers of pork products
at Hamburg. writes the chamber OF
commerce here that a pamphlet by
T. Brette, of New York, is mainly
responsible for the prohibition of
the importation of American bacon,
and saws: The chamber should
make it publicly known that the
pamphlet must be considered mere
astroke of business enterprise, and
that no importance whatever must
be attributed to its remarks about
the quality of goods. The commit
tee add: Some remarks of the New
York Stats Zeitung, with some
other American papers, to the eff
feet that dead hogs are used for the
manufacture of lard, and that the
product of hogs used for mechanic
al purposes is called "Lard A l, "
have done the greatest harm, and
contributed toward establishing a
prejudice against American hog pro-
ducts with some members of our
government, who, without any ex-
perience of the matter, take the
oretical view of it, and seem to
think the public may be led to be-
lieve this lard is also fit for con-
sumption. Everybody acquainted
with the trade knows this is impos-
sible. Nevertheless we would rec
ommend that for this name be sub
stituted another, perhaps "Refuse A
l." which would render misunder
standing of that kind impossible.
ANY term that does not contain the
word "lard" would suit the purpose.
In order to secure the repeal OF
the prohibition it is of the greatest
importance that your government
should take the trouble Of making
the necessary Investigations which
would establish the following facts :
First, that no diseased hogs or
dead hogs are used for the export
trade.
Second, that the examination OF
goods when shipped is very strict
one, so much so that only fully cur
ed and wholesome meat can pass it.
When the opinion of our leading
men has changed again in favor OF
the importation such investigation
can only have beneficial influence
on the whole trade in American pro-
duets in general. At the same time
they will certainly prove the best
means of removing the existing pre-
JUDGES and securing the repeal OF
the prohibition lately issued. 1t is,
however, evident that such meas
ures, or, in fact, any effort in this
direction can be of avail only il
sanctioned and backed by your gov
eminent, and if upon such official
examidiations prohibition appears
to be based on misrepresentation
the repeal of the prohibition ought
to be obtained.

A special from the Government
works at Mussel Shoals, near Flor
ence, Ala April 80, gives an az
count of the lynching of George
Ware, colored, who murdered a
white boy, aged twelve years, to Sc
cure $12 which had just been paid
to the boy. After robbing the boy
he threw him eight times in the II
yer, but the boy swan back to the
shore. After amusing himself by
throwing the boy in the river, he
tied him and beat out his brains
with a stone and threw him in again.
A man on the opposite side witness
ed the murder, but the river was too
wide to make his presence known.
A description of the negro was CIV
en- and he was arrested the same
night and lodged in Jail. A large
crowd of workmen employed on the
river visited the Jail and demanded
the prisoner. Owing to the delicate
condition of the jailer's wife the mob
were persuaded to dispense. This
occurred on the Goth. On the night
of the 18th the mob again assembled
at the jail, carried the jailer's wife
to another house, and then took the
prisoner and hung him to a beam IN
the depot building, Kidding bis BODY
with bullets. The negro confessed
the murder.

Their personal presence was unneces-

Messy Creek. Much is due to his
vigorous and efficient work in pre-
venting a greater spread of the dis
ease. Not a single case now exists
in our town. Business each day is
assuming a more brisk and healthy
appearance. Refugees have gener-
ally returned to their homes, and
our streets are daily visited by clti-
zens of the county and from a dis
lance who we trust will scatter the
good news that our town is free from
any contagious disease. Sabbath
schools and religious exercises were

and good congregations were in at

visit our town or let us visit theirs.

DIVING FOR PHARAOR'S CHARL
FROM The St james Gazette.

Now that so many persons are
engaged in making what they can
out of Egypt it is interesting to find
one DISTINGUISHED person proposing
a speculation of which the object is
not to put money in the pockets of
the promoter, but to implant or to
confirm in the breasts of all men.
The Able Moigns has written pre-
face to nj. Lecontre's 'Campaigne de
Noise pour la sortle d Egypt, in
which he advocates thepromOtion of
a joint stock company, with the
view of exploring the bottom of the
Red sea, and especially the bitter
water lakes. In a German account
of the project it is justly described
as 'one of the boIdest.' 1T is moth
ing less, continued the writer, than
to search the bottom of the Red sea
to discover there the proof of that
great event narrated by Moses J, 1000
years ago. To provide needful
funds to carry on excavations which
would have for their result the re-
storation to light of the remains of
the Egyptian armies engulfedin the
Red sea, with the chariots, horses,
arms, treasures, archieves and per-
haps the King himself-that Phar-
aoh who was conquered by Moses
this will indeed be a noble enter
prise. Buried IN the masses of salt
of the Bitter lakes, concealed at diff
ferent places by thick beds of salt,
these historical remains are perhaps
in state of preservation unexpect-
ed by u.s. The Able estimates the
cost of the excavations at 100000
francs, and against expenditures he
places nothing in the way of posi-
BILE returns. 1t may be suggested
without irreverence, however, that
if the Able Moigno should succeed
in disinterring but one indubitable
wheel of Pharaoh's chariot he might
make no end of money.

One day last week Col. John I'll.
Savage, chairman of the railroad
commission, went to Gov. J. d. Por-
ter, President of the Chattanooga
railroad, and demanded passes for
the Commissioners stating that by
law they were entitled to them.
Gov. Porter said, IN reply to the de-
mand, that, as State officials, he
would give them the courtesy Of
free passes, but that the Legislature
could not so far override the rights
of property rs to enact that a rail
road should be compelled to carry
any one free. The Commissioners
did not take tire passes rendered by
President Porter, but left, stating
they would see him later. Good |!
Governor Porter is exactly right.
