PRESIDENT HADDEN ought to make it a
point to suggest speedy legislation by our
Taxing District Council to secure the con-
struction of workhouse and house of cor
rection as suggested by the chief of police
in his annual report which we print this
morning. A new stationhouse on the
most approved sanitary plans, something
after the county Jail, should also be erect
ed without delay. The statements made
by Chief Davis touching the present tum-
ble-down rookery, mere makeshift, will
doubtless move Commissioner Montgom-
cry to prompt action at the next meeting
of the Council. new sidewalk ordi-
nance, more stringent in its penalties than
the existing one, is also Chief Davis sug-
gests. very much needed. This will be
readily indorsed by all classes OF the
people. The city has outgrown the viii
lage plank walks and the time has
come when on Front, Main and Second
streets at least stone payements should De
put down and brick on every other street
under the supervision of the city engineer
In order TO insure uniformity. As TO the in
crease OF the police force, that has long been
recognized as a necessity by the APPEAL.
When the next Legislature meets an
amendment 10 the act organizing the Dis
trict should be introduced to empower
the employment Of l25 men, seventv-fye
for night and hfty for day service. Chief
pavis's report is worthy Of careful consid-
Grafton.

OBITUARY.
Death of Judge H. p. Reid, of Friars

Point.
We regret to learn of the death of Judge
H. P. Reid, of Friars Point, Miss, which
occurred at his home in that place,
yesterday. Although fine-looking man,
and apparently of enviable health, he
was for some years troubled with neu
ralgia, which was greatly aggravated a
few days ago by an injury he sustained
while lifting a log into a position on
the levee, near his residence, where it
could be used to keep out the high water.
This, of which he complained at the time,
no doubt accelerated his death, which to
his wife and children was as sudden as a
breath. Judge Reid was self-made man,
and he owed his popularity and position
in life to sober, industrious habits, sec
onded by sterling integrity. He was a
printer before he became a lawyer, and in
early life before the war worked on the
Bulletin and other Memphis papers.
When war was declared between the
States, he promptly entered the Confed-
crate service and served throughout the
struggle creditably as brave, obedient
soldier. After the war he entered the
political field for time and served in the
Legislature and in party conventions, and
was the means of accomplishing grea.
deal OF good for the Democratic party and
for Mississippi. lie was very conserva-
tive, and by his course set good example
in the community by which he was hon
ored as public servant and esteemed as
citizen. Judge Reid was good, brave
man. His funeral will take place from
Holst's this morning at II O'Clock.

Position Growing Weaker Every
BAY.


A Rad Day for the ES1ssseaher.His
Day.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Keifer-
boynton committee continued its investi-
CATION this afternoon. Keifer denied that
he was in Boynton's Office on the night of
March lst, or had spoken half a dozen
words to him since the attempted bribery
until the present investigation, and re-
peated his foriner statement and denied
all of Boyntons allegations.
A witness named Gardner, OF Balti
more, who described himself as claim
agent, was called. He stated that he had
been subpenaed for Keller. He didn't
know anything about the interview be-
tween Keifer and Boynton, didn't know
that Boynton was connected with the
McGarrahan bill, or any other bill. The
witness, Elder, had come to see him be-
fore he was subpenaed, and said Gen.
Keifer desired to see him. Witness said
he didn't know Boynton from Keifer, and
refused to go to see Keifer.
Gen. Boynton, recalled, related the story
of the press gallery trouble, and stated
that the trouble between Gen. keifer and
himself dated from that tirue. He reiter-
ated his statement tnat Gen. keifer was
in his office on the night of March LIST, and
detailed the conversation which took place
on that occasion. Adjourned.

The telegraph brings us news OF the
death of the Hon. Kenneth Raynor, So
licitor OF the Treasury. Mr.. Raynor en-
tered the political arena very early in life,
and served in Congress from North Caro-
lima, where for many years he occupied a
high position as a speaker and party lead
er. He was at one time identified with the
native American movement in that State,
and was always prominent Whig. He
could not and did not after the war affili-
ate with the Democratic party, and accept
ed office first, we believe, under President
johnson, and afterward under President
Grant. He was continued in the office Of
Solicitor of the Treasury by Presidents
Hayes, Garfield and Arthur. Mr.. Raynor
was a man of very decided opinions and
views, always had the courage of his con-
victions, and though advanced in years
was hard worker and conscientious in
the discharge of his duties. He married
when quite young a sister of the late
Bishop Leonidas Polk, OF Louisiana, a
lady Of rare gifts and great dignity of
manner

this objected to present consideration, and
it went over. Senator Butler said the
condition was one the House had no right
to make.
Senator Cockrell introduced bill Ito
amend the Revised Statutes so as to give
to processes of the United States Court

esses of the several States have in their
respective States.
After further debate or the ~peadieton
bill the Senate went Into executive ses-
sion and soon adjourned.

Ok Sunday last Fathers Down and
Larkin, OF the Roman Catholic Church of
the Holy Innocents, New York City, de-
nounced Boucicault's play of The Shaugh-
roun from the altar as a disgrace to the
Irish race, and called upon the members
of their flock not to visit the theaters
where it is played. Mr.. Boucicault has
appealed to Cardinal McCloskey for re-
dress, stating that Fathers Down and
Larkin shave not witnessed the play they
denounce, as the scenes they stigmatize do
not exist and have never existed in the
work They have, unfortunately, been
misinformed, and if satisfied they have
done any wrong, feel sure they will be
glad to amend it, The crusade thus be
gun, after the play has been twelve years
upon the stage, has made great sensa-
ton, and has given theatrical managers a
severe scare. 1t is feared that the coming
engagement OF Boucicault in New York
may be greatly damaged by it.

the Potter bill, and saying that the Ian

of Its provisions. 1t is certainly open to

THE London Times describes the late
Mr.. Cheney, renowned Oriental scholar,
professor OF Arabic and editor of that
paper for many years, succeeding to the
position on the death of Mr.. Delaney, as
"a man of wide knowledge, sound judg-
ment and great capacity; an accomplished
publicist and an experienced man of
affairs" He filed all the requisites of
the ideal editor, as described by the
Times, who must move and work not
merely in great affairs. Humdni nihl sc
alienum putdt; whatever concerns man
kind for the moment, from a war to a
whim, from a passing fancy or transient
fashion to the great secular movements of
humanity, from great crime to a great
catastrophe, the tragedy of life and its
comedy, the victories of science and the
achievements OF literature, the vicissi-
tudes of circumstances and the memorable
harvest of death-these, and much more
than these, are threads in the web of
which an editors life is woven, and they
belong as much to his personal life as
they do to the general history of his time"

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Secretary Fol-

the department, says that after making
all deductions for special funds, ETC., and
providing for reserve fund,
there remains as final result $7,534 ,281,

purpose, and that the best answer of what
he conceives may be done in the way of
liquidation without embarrassment, is,
perhaps, what he, in the use of his best
judgment, did on the 2lst OF February
last, when he called for the redemption OF
