w. D. SHIppEY, town marshal of
Kosciusko, who killed James Avery, an
inofending citizen of that place last
week, was brought to Jackson last Sun
day night by the deputy sheriff of
Attala, and placed in the penitentiary
for safe-keeping. A mob visited the
Jail after he left, for the purpose of
lynching him. The provocation for this
most atrocious crime was, it is said, of
the most trifing nature, and the peaceful
and law-abiding community in which il
occurred are Justly indignant.

SOME CHEERING INDICATIONS.
 The Democratic office seekers are really getting afraid that Civil Service reform is not myth, and that the President means to keep his promises in this matter. And there is good reason for their fear. By far the largest part of the ''patronage'' is in the hands of the Postmaster-General. He pos sesses the absolute power of appointing more than AS, 900 postmasters, the Presiden- tia1 nomination being required for only about g. 300 of the more important places, and his power of removal is equally absolute, only the Presidential postmasters having fixed term of four years. The attitude of MT. Villas toward Civil Service reform is therefore of the first importance, and he does not leave his sentiments in the slightest doubt. 'The programme of the whole Cabinet" he says, 'is to select officials for their worth and value to the government" and ''to bear out the Civil Service rules to the full extent" while he takes pains to add: 'I shall enforce the rules here" According to dispatch sent out from Washington yes terday Secretary Bayard, the head of the State department, has announced in very positive manner his intention to adhere to the strict letter of the civil service law. "He sent his messenger into each room of the State department with the proclamation to the clerks that they need have no fear of losing their positions through the mere change of administration, as he did not pro- pose dismissing Ianyone except for neglect of duty" Attorney General Garland, it is said, intends to retain in his department all save the personal favorites put in by Brewster.
 The reliable Washington correspondent Of the Boston Advertiser thinks he has found out how the President is going to deal with the office-seekers. He the co1respondent) says: He wants to be rid of the office-seekers once for all He has directed the Cabinet to let him know at once what places they think ought to be filled by Democrats in order for them to get on comfortably. Then they are to tell him whom they want in them. These men he will nominate, and then the imme- diate appointments are finished. He will make others as they suit him, but after those asked for by the Cabinet are sent in he wants it understood that he will take his own time
 All this is very encouraging. The Presi- dent cannot do better thing for his country, his party and his own fame than to be true Civil Service reformer. He will make great and irreparable mistake if he is not one.
