The Supreme Court Of Appeals OF
Virginia on Thursday last rendered
a decision in the case Of 7. j. Clu-
Yerius, convicted in Richmond OF
the murder of Fannie Lillian Maai-
son, and fully sustained the iudg-
ment OF the lower Court, overriding
every exception taken by the defen.
dant. This case was one Of the most
interesting that can be found in
criminal jurisprudence. Only exec
utive clemency can now save Culver
ius from hanging.

a Desperate Jail Brake.

WINFIELD, KAs., May 4.-The
prisoners confined in the Cowley
county Jail made desperate at
tempt to escape last night about
$40 o'clock. Deputy Sheriff Tom
Herrod opened the jail door to lock
the prisoners in their cells when
they made a dash at him armed
with stove legs, Jumps of coal and
every available object that was port
able. A blow on the head knocked
Herrod down. Henry Champion,
one of the guards, fired at the crowd,
and instantly killed w. p. Bennett,
who was in Jail for counterfeiting.
Champion received severe blow on
the head which rendered him insen-
sible and four prisoner succeeded in
making their escape. Their names
are as follows: Charles Swift, gull
ty of forgery; James Whitehead,
who was found guilty ofhorse steal
ing; David Virgins, guilty of coun-
terfeiting, and Bill Mattney, charg-
ed with horse stealing.

The New York Tribune remarks !:
When Mr.. Blaine said the Republi
cans were robbed of the trust of Gov
eminent by Bourbon outrages in the
South, he was waving the bloody
Shirt but when JEFF. Davis talked
rank treason the other day at Mont
gomery he was merely wrapped in
the mantle Of regret" The Demo
Gratis and their allies have convenient
eyes and can cross them al will.

"Some Northern papers and politi
clans are trying to lash themselves,
and their people into fury, because
poor old Mr.. Jefferson Davis has been
indulging in some harmless talk i'll
Montgomery, Alabama, touching the
lost cause and the dead Confederate
Soldiers who went down with it. Let
the old gentleman talk ."-StateSmon.
We desire to make one correction,
and thati is, change the last remark to
'Let the old woman talk" Hunt up
the old skirt and trot the old lady all
over the South as a sickening phan-
tom of what should be dead past,
Was it for this that poor old Horace
Greeley preserved the relic?

COZ. RLLSONS ORDER.

We commend Gov. Wilson for his
independent action in instructing
the assessors to conform to the law
in the matter of exemption until the
law was either repealed or legally
declared a nullity by the proper trib-
unal. True, such action was ia the
teeth Of the record of his party 50 far
as it's conventions are concerned,
and is in harmony with republican
doctrine. But the fact that this is
rue,only makes his act in endeavor-
ing to do right the more creditable
and praiseworthy. 1t must be said
for. Gov. Wilson that the finances
Of the Treasury, the collection of
taxes and the enforcement of the
statutes have been rather benefited
than otherwise.

BLOODY 1N1RCRT8TS.

The outcrop Of the labor agitation
has at last reaped the whirlwind and
sacrificed precious lives Not that
the respectable laborers ever intend
ed any such thing, but that the non
workers, the tramps, the mendieants,
and the men who see, with the 81
am blind" placards in their pockets,
rally with their socialistic and com.
munistic ideas and turn property
getting into blood letting. Thirty
of Chieago's police have fallen vic
Tins to the accursed anarchists, and
probably more of their worthless
hulls paid the penalty for their
crime. The leaders are in arrest,
May they be well and speedily pun
isbcd.

The decision of the Supreme Court
Of the United States is likely to re-
duce the treasury of Virginia to
bankruptcy. The liquor dealers of
Fredericksburg sent to Richmond
for coupons with which to pay their
taxes, and the merchants of the ci-
ties are likewise paying their taxes
with counons. With this bonded
debt hanging over the State, and SO
many unpaid coupons outstanding,
the only remedy will be either very
large increase of taxotion, oranother
debt created, by which to obtain
funds with which to carry on the
State government.
