Capt. w. w. Harrison, an old and
honored citizen of Santa Rosa county,
died at his home in Milton on the 18th,
aged seventy-three years. Capt. Harri-
son was twice sheriff of his county, and
represented it in the Legislature before and
since the war. The Milton Nesos says
truly:
Capt. Harrison was one of our oldest and best
citizens, and bis character has stood the test of
time and after the vicissitudes of forty years,
through peace and war, thro' good and evil
times he has stood the firm and un6inching ad-
vocate of truth, justice and right In character
he was firm, without obstinacy, gentle, without
weakness, generous, without extravaganza, and
pIous, without bigotry-a man whom all might
initiate. but whom few could hope To equal.

Since writing the foregoing we see that the
Times Union, 10 an able editorial, takes the same
position that we do, and lawyer of this place of
splendid talents and information, informs us
that when Mr.. Westcott quilted his seat in the
Senate and took up his abode Ia Canada, the
then Governor of this State declared his once
vacant and appointed Mr.. Yulee his successor,
and the appointment was promptly accepted BY
the Senate.-Ocola Banner, 191.
This is incorrect. Senator Westcott
served out his term, and engaged in jour-
nalism in New York after its expiration.
When the war began he was so outspoken
for the South that it became expedient
for him to leave the North and he found
refuge in Canada, where he was one of
many who worked outside Of the lines
for the Confederacy during the war Of
the States.

Michael Kurtz. Plaintiff in Error, vs. The State
of Florida, Defendant in Error-Appeal from
Duval county.
McWHoRTER, G. j.
l. The act of the Legislature of the State of
Florida, of February 18th, 1881, providing for
the arrest and detention of fugtives from justice
from other States, is not in conflict with section
2, article 4, of the Constitution Of the United
States, or section 5278 and 5279 of the Revised
Statutes passed in pursuance thereof
Q. 1t lie not necessary to consider the gu esti0n
us to the right of the Governor of this State to
withhold the papers upon which he based his
warrant for the arrest OF an accused fugitive from
justice when the record shows that the recuislss
ton and accompanying papers from the Cover
nor OF the State where the crime was committed,
constituted the evidence UPON which he acted,
and were submitted to the court to which the
writ of hG6eds corpus was returned.
8. 1t is immaterial whether the warrant of the
Governor of this State for the arrest of fugitive
from Justice from another State is based on an
original affidavit or copy thereof, when either
one presented to the resident Governor Is certi-
fed to by the Governor of The State where the
crime was committed as being authentic.
4. The fugitive from justice can not on habcas
corpus impeach the validity of the affidavit upon
which the requisition was founded, If 1t distinct
" charge the commission Of crime.
g. A police magistrate Of city in the State Of
New York is Q magistrate within the meaning
of section 5278 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States.
g. The principle of res Gdjudicat0 can not be
applied to case where fugitive from justice Is
arrested o second time on q second warrant Is
sued by the Governor Of this State, though the
ofFense charged in each warrant is the same.
Judgment affirmed.

State authorities and others interested.
M. Rochefort proposes to put them up for
lottery for 100000. The idea, says a
Paris contemporary, is novel, and if car
ried into effect, it is highly probable that
the tickets could be readily disposed of
in all civilized countries, and excite much
singular rivalry, especially among the fe-
male sex, as to who should hold the larg-
est number of tickets to gain either a
brooch or . bracelet which might have
been worn in the time by Maria Leckins-
ka. Marie Antoinette and other court fe-
male celebrities.

STEEL FOB MODERN ORDNANCE. The Problem Which Senator HawIey
 is Given to Solve.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The Senate Con- nittee on Coast Defenses to-day took up for consideration MT. Cameron's two bills pro- viding for the encouragement and manufac- ture of steel for modern naval ordnance, ar nor, shafting and other purposes.

The bills authorize the Secreta- ry of War and the Secretary of the Navy to make contracts after suitable advertisement for the supply of rough bored, rough turned and tempered steel for the fabrication of heavy ordnance adapted to modern warfare and steel for armor and other army and navy purposes in quantities not to exceed ten thousand gross tons, in quality and dimen- sions conforming to specifications and in- cluding all the parts of each calibre speci- fed. The Secretary of War is authorized to erect at the Watervliet arsenal, West Troy, an army gun factory for the fabrication of the heaviest guns adapted to modern war fare, the manufacture of gun carriages and ordnance and equipment for the army at a cost not to exceed S1 COG, 1000, while the Sec retary of the Navy is authorized to erect at the navy yard in Washington 8 naval gun factory for the equipment of the navy

RULES IN RHYME,

Policeman orr Hears a Suggestion al Drill and Makes UP Rhyme Con. cerning It.
 Company B of the police force had their regular monthly drill at headquarters yester- day afternoon, according to Upton tactics The men were also instructed in regard to the military salute, and it was suggested that it would look well and be but simple act of courtesy on the part of the officers to salute each other in passing on the street. After Police Officer Orr, who is the poet of the force, had gone onto his beat in the eve ming he fell musing and the following stanza, somewhat suggestive of Poe's Raven, was perpetrated by him concerning the sa- lute:
 Patrolmen, if you chance to meet
 Upon the confines of your beat,
 Remember motions one to four.
 And then salute and nothing more.

4 Novel Excitement on Chapel Street.
 People passing up Chapel street between and o'clock last night were treated to a rare phenomenon. Between the entrance to Lincoln rink and the corner of Chapel and College streets the conflicting currents of wind caused whirlwind. A pillar of sand measuring about two feet in diameter and fully thirty feet in height was formed and moved slowly along for about half block when it suddenly stopped. The few people who witnessed it were greatly amazed and say they never say anything like it before.

A GREAT STORM IN ENGLAND.

An Unknown steamer Lost in the
 English Channel.
 LONDON Jan. 8.-The storm of wind and snow which has been ciroling around the British islands for the past eight days is un- abated Railroad traffic is interrupted in every direction. In many parts of Scotland it is at standstill. Enormous drifts of snow blockade the tracks and in some cases the engineers have had great difficulty in back ing their trains out of the drifts to prevent being showed under and suffocated. All trains sent out now have locomotives and snow ploughs at both ends. The gale off the southern and western coasts of England seems to be increasing. An unknown steam CT has foundered in the English Channel and a mass of wreckage has foated ashore. There is nothing to indicate the fate of the passen- gers and crew. The French bark Reni was wrecked to-day in Bristol channel. Four of her seamen were drowned.
