without the presence of any Of
the counsel for the State, Judge
Mayors told the jury that he
would keep them till August un-
less they agreed. Shortly after a
knock was heard at the door and
1t was announced that the jury
was ready. The verdict was read
by the Clerk and a shout was
raised in the Hamilton side. Then
followed hands shaking, hugging,
etc. John Fitzhugh negro
juror said IN the hearing of the
Sheriff, Clerk and bailiff, "This
is what | como for" ST Robinson
a col man said that the day
after the Jury was enpannelIsd,
Fitzhugh told mm he was gong
for Hamilton aud his board was
TO be paid. Robinson, also, said
that 1t was not his verdict; thar
he believed Hamilton guilty., but
he was forced to yield. The old
man wept over what he believed
a great wrong done the country
and himself.
The result Of the trial proves
what has so often been asserted,
i. e., that no man with money
and influence can be convicted III
this county for any crime what
ever. We have taken long step
toward anarchy in Mississippi,
but much can De done in another
way to right the great wrong. All
the moral forces OF society should
be exerted on the side Of Justice,
and to the discouragsmsnt OF
crlminality. The frie9ds Of law,
Of honesty in public hfe, Of
morality should make distine-
ton between those who arc true
and good and the opposite. If
this IS done the effect will be
powerful Baptist Record.

ment before his death that he
knew six of the parties who Were
Instrumental in causing his death,
four Of whom reside IN Louisiana
and two in this State, who ap to
this time have not been arrested
or moested. From the best in
formatlOn we can obtain the
Coroner's jury did not charge the
twcLty-four white men with the
murder Of Joa Prescott; if so what
authority did those men have in
releasing those six men charged
with the crime without any ux-
animation whatever, as such was
the case? Wo have always
understood that whete a Coroner S
jury charged a man or a set Of
men with a crime Especially
murder) that they were compelled
to stand an examination before
they could be released. There
was u young man fourteen or
fifteen years of age arrested
charged with the murder, who il
not of sound mind and understands
ing. What the object was for
having this young man arrested
we do not know, unless they
thought he could give some IN
formation. AS was previously
stated the inquest was held strictly
secret no Information whatever
being givel to the public. In
face OF the facts we can not see
The necessity Of putting a man on
horseback and sending him toMag-
nolia after Capt. Boyd, sheriff -
and several volunteered their
services, together with their shot
guns-to go at the hour of mid,
night to arrest a lot Of mon inno-
cont Of the existence Of warrants
for their arrest. We cannot give
any reason why they preferred to
go at night unless they knew II
would be more pleasant travelling
and wished to avoid the hot, cruel
rays Of old Phmbus.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Fron our Regular correYpondesi.)

(Fr7n our Regular correspondeHi.)
WAsnINGToN, May /, 1888.
Complaints against the present
methods of dong business in the
United States Patent Office are
becoming loud and frequent. 1t is
charged that the examiners in the
Office are extremely careless, some
say criminal, in their examination
of applications for patents; that
they throw out many applica-
lions without properly examining
them to discover whether they
are patentable or not; that other
applications are rejected which
the examiner knows should be
allowed.
These are serious chatges against
an important branch Of the Gov
ernment. | have thoroughly
Investigated the matter in order
to discover what, if any, founda-
ton there is for the chaig ges and
who is 10 blame. | soon discov-
cred that the charges we're all too
true, or rather that many Of them
were. l also discovered that the
parties who were responsible for
this, might almost say disgrace
iul, state of affairs, were the re-
publican examiners who have been
allowed to continue IN office under
the present Administration. And
that is not all. | am firmly con-
vinced that these holi-over repub-
iican examiners have consplred
together to bring the Office into
bad repute, IN oIder 20 help the
republican party in the PresIden-
tlal campaign this year.
In order to get some idea Of the
political effect IF a conspiracy
among these republican exami-
ners, just think for moment OF
the great numbe, of people who
are either directly or indirectly
interested IN the business of this
Office. Suppose you notice foI
one day, everything you sec, ana
you will find how many of them
are patented or are the product
OF patented mach,ue or process
You will be surprised. for yor
| will discover that about niDC
tenths Of all the things eithcI
manufactured or produced II
this country are connected il
some way with a United States
patent.
After this discovery you will
not be surprised to learn that this
! Government issues more patents
every year than all the rest Of
the world combined. Nov yor
'cas more readily understand ths
lamoant Of damage that can be

done the Administration by the
conspirators. Every man whose
patent is disallowed without u
good and sufficient season there
for, becomes deadly enemy,
not of the Examiner but of the
democratic Administration, which
he believes has mIstreated him,
ard his idea of getting even is.
nIne times out OF ten, to work
like blazes for the republican
party. This fellow is not alone,
there arc, SO to speak, thousands
Of him, and the republican ex-
amners of the Patent Office are
TO blame for ali his troubles.
In no branch OF the Govern
ment is the head Of Depart
mant SO dependent on his sub
bordinaues as in The Patent
Office. In 1885 President Cleve-
land appointed Mr.. Montgomery,
a Michigan lawyer, Commissioner
Of Patents. AT the time that was
considered an excellent appoints
ment. But owing to lack of
familiarity on the part Of Mr..
Montgomery with tho extremely
complicated practice of the
Office, his republican subordinate
virtually ran it for him. The
natural result was neglect and
idlenoss on the part Of the en-
ployeS and complaints on the part
Of the representatives Of the
patentees Of the country,
am informed by d gentleman
who is in a position to know
whereof he speaks that there are
quite a number Of ox-examiners
of the Patent Office now engaged
in business here as patent at
torneys, whose sole capital with
which to begin business We're
long lists of the names and adj
dresses Of applicants tor patents
whose applications they had un-
justly rejected for the sole purpose
OF afterwards getting fee as an
attorney for procuring the patent
tbey had as an examiner Of the
United States Patent Office re-
| jected These men apa reDut1li-
cans.
Iu order to break up this
practice, bills have been INTRO
duced in Congress several times to
make Examiners Of the Patent
Office Ineligible to act as patent
attorneys for two years from the
date Of their designations or dis
missals from Office. SO far in.
tesgsted parties have in some way
been able to prevent such bills
from becoming laws.
Last year Mr.. Montgomery
was succeeded by ex-Reprosepta'
tive Hall, of Iowa, as Commis
sioner of Patents. Mr.. Hall is al
able and honest man, but like hi
predecessor, he too was unfamlia
with the workings of She Office
and the republican examiner
succeeded ia getting him to maxi
a series of rulings which hav
produced much trouble and litiga
tiOn, In the mean uime the re
publican examiners are enjoying
the situation and working mar
for the success Of their party mex
fall.

A STATEMENT

DILLON, MISS, ~ Jfll Io,, 90,
EDmoR GAzETrE-We, the IN

eastern portion this county, wish
to correct statement IN yonr
paper Of April II, hcaded, "Bull-
Dozing--Two Negroes Whipped

our community and those who are
accused, we think 1t just and
proper, that the true facts in the
case should be stated. The
parties accused, 80 far as we can
ascertain, were not, and never
