The ''reform" legislature of this state are
contemplating the adjustment Of the sixty
day limit, and also increasing their present
pay, which is S. per day. In case they sue
coed in effectiug these changes, 1t may be
necessary for the governor to call out the
militia 10 disperse and run them out of
the capitol building. The people manage 10
stand sixty days every two years, but in the
present state of the public pulse IT would not
be wisdom to ask any more Of them.

proper administration Of justice that men
charged with crime shall be tried and sen

also important that the sentence should be
carried out with nothing more than natural
or reasonable delay. The bad effects of q
failure to enforce this policy are very evident
all over the country.

THE AMUSEMENT RECORD.
Sensational Melodrama at the Grand-A
Concert In ParlOr.

Sensational Melodrama at the Grand-A
Concert In ParlOr.
in several notable respects the melodrama
of ''Siberia'' produced at the Grand last
night is the most interesting of the many
productions from the fertile pen aud fancy
Of its author, BARLEY Campbell. 1t pos
sesses strong dramatic interest, a
tolerably coherent plot, startling situa-
tions and sensational climaXes, which are
moreover, within the range of probability, an
element which does not always predominant
In the plays of this versatile writer. The
scenery, too, is admirable, and realistic
enough to suit the most fastidious stickler
for theatrical effects. The story
deals with the atrocities per-
petrated by the Russian government
on the Jews, and, as the title Of the play
suggests, the auditor is made to wildly real
lie the fragrant prosecutions done In the
name OF justice on an oppressed and suffer
ing people. The horrors OF exile In the bleak
and frozen regions of Siberia are graphically
portrayed, while, as said, the pictorial effect
of the scenery is in some respects extremely
iife-like.
There is an abundance Of effective by-play
in the action. The drama is almost as SEN
sational as the works of Jules Verne or
Eugene Sue, but for all this the episodes are
not grossly improbable. There is dash of
true comedy in the play which relieves the
gloom and is enacted in tine spirit by Mr..
NJ. C. DAILY.
The cast embraces nearly thirty speaking
parts with accessories of hamlat armies,
mohs, miners, nihilists, etc. The roles i'm
persuuated by Mr.. Lawrence, Mr.. Norcross,
Mr.. Eddnger, M. Vernon and Mr.. Waite,
were capitally enacted, the general support
being fairly good. Mention should be made
of the drum corps under the lead Of Eden
Oakts, who last night maue his first APP
pearance on any stage.n
Miss Belgrade did some spirited acting as
Sora. and the Marie Of Emma Vaders capti-
waited the audience, her mad scene being
very dramatic. The flower girl Of Miss
Mcclellan was also well enacted, aud Miss
Cook was arch and wiusome as Drovna. A
detailed criticism of the acting is at this hour
impossible. The Same play will be repeated
to- hight, and the house should be crowded,
the audience last night being tribe top
heavy.

The death of Col. Joseph G. Harlan, on
the morning of the 30th was not an uneX-

throughout the county. A colonel OF militia
and captain of company in the seventh

WHERE LIES THE BLAME J

On the day before Christmas, in the town
of Abbeville, Arthur M. Benedict, clerk
in store in that town, was shot down by
John G.. Ferguson, while the latter was
crazed with drink. An account of the af-
fair we published last week. 1t possesses
several sad features. The slayer is young
man, highly respected, ofa respectable fami-
ly, and has u young wife and one child.
His one fault was love of whisky. The
victim was quiet, inoffensive young man,
a native of Austria, and had been living in
Abbeville but few years. The killing
was done with what is called a "bull dog"
pistol of 3S calibre, with which Ferguson
was armed when he entered the store.
Closing lengthy account of the occurrence,
the Press and Banner INDUCES the follow
ing reflections which are applicable in too
many places besides Abbeville, and may
prove q profitable admonition to other COM
munites:
In meditating ON this scene of blood,
which has saddened so many hearts at home
and abroad, would it not be we'll for each
and all of us to inquire how much of this
blood may be properly chargeable to US in
dividually? 1t might be we'll for us to in
quire to what extent we are individually to
blame for this homicide, and it might be
we'll for us to ask ourselves, if we, as peO-
pie, are not more to blame than the mis-
guided neighbor who has slain the Jew
and the stranger.
If we as citizens, witnesses, jurors, and
court officers, as a whole, had done our full
duty in the years that are past, would this
homicide have been probability: If VIC
had given moral support to the law against
carrying concealed weapons, it is not pOssi-
BILE that Ferguson could not have slain Ben
edict. If those who knew that Ferguson
was carrying that pistol had used proper
effort to prevent it, Benedict would have
been live man to-day, and Ferguson
would have been happy with his family,
and as hopeful as the best of our youths.
The court being the exponent, not only
of the law, but also of public opinion, has
that tribunal and that public opinion, up
held the sacredness of human life, and
visited just punishment to those who would
deprive the citizen of his richest estate?
We leave it for others to say if public senti-
ment is not almost wholly responsible for
the recent killing.
We made no protest against his violation
of the law in carrying the pistol, and, we
objected not to the legaliZing of the sale OF
the whisky which crazed his brain.
While these facts are no excuse for Fer
gusA&s yet, are our own. skirts clear: we

throwing out a sufficient number of alleged
illegal ballots as to change the vote in favor
of the license side. Immediately after the
result was made known, the town council
granted license to several barrooms, to take
effect on January 1st, 1885. Then the no.

leave it for others to say whether we exert
ed a proper effort to prevent Benedict's
death, and we leave it for others to say if
there are not to-day many noble young
men, violating the law in reference to pis-
tolls, and who are only waiting for the
proper moment to arrive, when they may
plunge themselves and families into sea
of trouble, where sighs and tears will be
unavailing?
Besides good, healthy moral sentiment,
we need Court which is organized and
maintained for higher purpose than OF
cleansing guilty stains from the red hands
of the citizens who may choose to Undue
them in his neighbours blood.
In the name Of peace and good order, have
we not had enough Of bloodshed? Then
will not our young men lay aside their pis-
tolls, and meet their grievances in more
courageous way than that of the use of the
murderOuS pistol?

DEATH OF GEN. HANCOCK'S son.

Russell Hancock, the only son of Major
General Winfield S. Hancock, died on Tues
day, of last week, at his plantation, near
Clarkesdale, Miss. Mr.. Hancock was thirty
four years of age. He has been engaged in
business in Clarkesdale for many years, in
addition to carrying on large plantation.
Young Hancock was the only surviving
child of the General. He had a daughter,
who died in 1875 while on visit to General
Hancock on Governors Island, of typhoid fe-
yer, just after leaving school, aged eighteen.
Russell has long been located in Mississippi
and was but twenty years old when he et-
fected runaway marriage with Miss May
Quinn, one of the bellies of Louisville.
Miss Guinn's father, an eX-Confederate, op-
posed the marriage on the ground that
young Hancock was the son of Yankee
General. Russell ferried his bride across
the Ohio at night, and they were married
on the Indiana shore. The stern old father
gave in after the elopement. Neither Gen.
eral nor Mrs. Hancock knew of the affair
for several months. The Generals father
and mother have both died within few
wears. He has twin brother, named Hill
larry, who is lawyer in Minneapolis, and
another brother, John, is connected with
the Pennsylvania railroad in Washington.

CONGRESS-.

Congress re-assembled last Monday, after
the holiday recess. The usual Monday call
of the States and Territories was made IN
the House for the introduction of bills.
It is understood that the consideration of
the Bankruptcy bill will be urged this
week, and that Representative Matson, of
Indiana, will ask for the passage of the bill
reported from the committee on invalid
pensions, providing for an increase of the
pensions of the widows of Union soldiers
from IS to $l2 per month, and Representa-
tive Payson, of Illinois, will ask for the
passage of q bill restoring to public entry
lands held within the indemnity limits for
the benefit of railroad and wagon road COM
panies.
The consideration of bills reported from
the committee on military affairs will also
claim the attention of the House this week,
with the understanding, however, that
appropriation bills shall have preference.
Among the last named bills is the pension
appropriation bill and the Indian appropri-
alton bill.
At the first opportunity, and when its
discussion will not interfere with appropri-
alton bills, Representative Reagan will ask
that the consideration of the interstate
commerce bill be resumed. If that meas
ure is disposed of before the end of the week
Representative Willis will endeavor to Sc
cure the consideration of the educational
BILL 1t is his purpose to call up his own
bill and move that the Blair bill, which has
passed the Senate, be substituted for it.
In the Senate the Interstate commerce
bill has the first right of consideration, and
it's supporters express the opinion that it
will not be set aside for anything but appro-
priation bills. Its consideration is likely
to consume great part and possibly all of
the week. At least one of the pending
treaties is expected to be reported from the
foreign relations committee, and consider
able portion of the time OF the Senate may
| be spent in executive session.
