The Grand Jury, OF Birmingham, Ala,
after three weeks investigation and the
examination of over 200 witnesses, re-
fused to indict Sheriff Joe Smith and his
posse, for the Jail shooting on the nighG
Of December s, in which it is we'll re.
membered, thirteen persons lost their
lives and twenty-five were badly woun>
ded. The jury however, says, that the
sheriff did not evince that diligence,
judgement and coolness always desira-
BILE in an officer Of the law in position
the authority Of which clothes him with
so much power. Had he displayed these
qualifications, combined with the brave
determination to defend the life of his
prisoner, all loss Of life might have been
prevented and the necessity to resort tc
shooting avoided. The sheriff was un.
der bond Of 100000, in four warrants OF
$25, 900 each, charging him with murder
This refusal or failure Of the grand jury
to indict him doubtless does away with
all prosecution forever.

We deprecate crime in all Of its bear
ings, and as far as our influence goes,
stand out against it. But the idea of
holding whole community responsible
for the fragrant sins Of one or more bad
men is not giving the South any show
ing for morality and decency. We are
thrown together as a band Of evil doers,
cut throats and assassins, by some Of the
papers of the North and West. This
wholesale denunciation and prescription
Tor the murder OF John M, Clayton is
unwise, unjust and unrighteous. The
State of Arkansas has spoken through
her Legislature,-her press and public
opinion, and every where else through
the South, the vile, cowardly deed has
been ever held up to the scorn and con-
demnation of the people. We can but
hope that the murderer will be pursued
with whip Of scorpions until found,
and then expiate his crime on the gal
lows in behalf OF law and order.

Death of Willie Newburger, of Coffee
VILE.

Special Dispatch to the Appeal.
Coffeeville, Miss. Feb. 12.--Mr. Willie
Newburger, very popular young man of
this place, was found dead in his bed this
morning at o'clock. He appeared TO be
in perfect health yesterday and spent a
portion of the day hunting. On his return
in the evening he seemed even more lively
than usual ,sand before retiring devoted an
hour or TWO to music. At about 10 o'clock
he complained of severe pains in his left
side and physician was summoned, who
soon relieved him by administering a
medicine which seemed to have soothing
effect upon his nerves. When the doctor
departed the young man was sleeping
quietly, and no one dreamed Of danger un-
til the servant ATTEMPTED to arouse him for
breakfast this morning, when it was dis
covered that he was dead. The body was
quite warm, and he evidently died with
out struggle at about O'Clock. The
physicians pronounced it heart disease.
The young man, who had been absent for
several years, returned home just prior to
the holidays, and entered the store with
his brothers, who are among the leading
merchants of this place.

Assassination of II Memphis Priest.

In all the doleiul records of crime and
insanity there is nothing more horrify-
ing than the savage murder OF the good
and pious Catholic Priest, Father E. A.
Ashfeld, by the lunatic Alfred Reeves,
in Memphis, about five O'Clock last Mon
day morning in the Priests own room
Young Reeves walked into Father Ash
fields room while in bed and stabbed
him twice to the heart, killing him in
stantly, and without any provocation
whatever, as the dead priest had been
the best and warmest friend Reeves ever
had. Reeves killed him because he says
God told him to do it, and because he
loved him" The affair naturally crea-
ted sensation in Memphis among all
classes and all denominations. Young
Reeves was formerly drug clerk and
about 25 years of age. He is now in
jail, and SO far seems to express no re-
morse for the infamous deed.

The Manufacturers Record is inform
ed that the British & American Timber
Co.. ., Nimited,) which has capital of
ea,OO0,OO0 or $10,OOO,0O0, is in the mar
ket for 1000, 900 acres of Southern tim
ber land. Mr.. Preston Ashbridge, the
agent of the company, has already pur-
chased, through W. II. Howcott, of New
Orleans, 50O,OOo,0OO feet of standing tim-
ber, inclu14ng white pine, poplar. cherry,
SC. in West Virginia and 20O,o00,0oo feet
of yellow pine in Florida, Georgia and
Mississippi. The demand for Southern
timber lands is rapidly increasing, as the
enormous purchases that are being made
by Western and foreign capitalists indiS
cate, which is we'll illustrated by the
proposed purchase of 100000 acres Of
land by this big English company

The "Memphis Sunday Times" devotes
a column and a half to the Overton-Hill
Wedding, which took place in that city
on Tuesday the 9Th, inst. The descrip-
ton of the dresses OF the bridal party
and guests, and OF the decoration of the
parlor and dining-rooms reads like a
page from a fairy tale, Or from a Court
Gazette giving the details Of a royal
marriage. As both families are among
the wealthiest in Tennessee it is not
surprising that everything connected
WITH the affair vas on the most brilli-
ant scale.

The Kosciusko Star says, "this prom,
ises to be an unusually lively year lin the
race for Governor of Mississippi, The
candidates are abundant and strong
from among them tue people should
make good selection. Most of the as
pirants are men of known ability and in
tegrity and if the people will not study
the interests of the State in filling this
first office, they will deserve little syms
pathy if they select the wrong man.
Through the press, and by inquiry, the
fitness of each aspirant can be ascertain
ed and by these means the people should
make a selection that will rebound beth
to their honor and good, Too little con-
cern, on the part of the people, has
hitherto manifested itself in the selection
of men to stand at the head of State and
Federal affairs, but it is hoped that while
they are being educated in other respects,
that they will not neglect an inquiry
into the qualifications of those who
aspire to govern them."

WATER VALLEY.
A Murder and RObbery-A Narrow Es
cape From Lynching.

WATER VALLEY, Miss, Feb. l3.--This morn
ing about 2 o'clock, one OF the foulest mur.
ders occurred that ever disgraccd our town
On the sidewalk of the main street was found
the body of Mr.. Jamrs Jenkins, with his
throat cut from ear to ear. viii Harris, who
keeps sort of saloon, was the last party
seen in his company late last night, and at
once suspicion attached to him. He was ar.
rested by the sheriff and searched when q
bloody knife was found concealed in his shoe
and watch belonging to the murdered man,
with some money.
This morning the sheriff started with the
prisoner for the depot to convey him TO the
Jail at Coffeeville, when he was met by an
infuriated mob and overpowered and the pris.
oner taken from him. The mob forthwith be-
gan preparations to hang Harris, but the
more conservative people of our town i'm
plored them not to act so hasty, and the mob
became easier and said they would await his
trial. Our town was one seething mass Of
excitement, and during the struggle to take
the prisoner several shots were fired but no
one was hurt.

PelerkiM cotton.

A correspondent Of Home and Farm
writes: want to say to my brother
farmers that tried two of the finest
kinds Of cotton last year: had twelve
acres of the Allen, and made four bales,
and eight acres of the Peterkin, and
made q fraction over five bales. Weight
in one lot of Peterkin 16.4l pounds OF
seed cotton, and made 500 pounds oi
lint, and am going to try for one bale to
every acre next year. l never expect to
plant anything but the Peterkin, as the
Allen is too late to mature, and our buy
ers do not class it close enough to make
it pay.

Among the names of Southern Re-
publicans being doomed for Cabinet po-
sitlons those Of Longstreet and Malone
are mentioned most prominently. They
each claim to represent majority OF
Southern Republicans, and the stock
in-trade OF each is his reconstructed
rebeldom." 1t is hardly probable that
the claims of either will be recognized by
the new administration. Harrison does
not want the cry Of Southern Brigadier'
thrown in his teeth, as it was in those
OF Cleveland.

The murder Of Col. John NJ. Clayton is
now the much discussed theme in all the
leading newspapers. The Governor OF
Arkansas has offered large reward for
the apprehension OF the murderers, and
the State Legislature has offered an ad-
ditional amount. While the crime is
said to have been for political causes,
the deceased having been Republican,
it is nowhere more deeply deplored than
among Southern Democrats.
