AN APPALLING SITUATION.
Not a single one of the delegates
who spoke ia favor of this appropria-
tIon at the late annual session: not a
single member who has spoken or
written, to my knowledge, in favor of
that appropriation since the annual
session, and not a single newspaper
endorsement of the action of the dele
gates In voting this large sum, has Civ
en- any good, honorable business rea-
son for II.
Not single one of these speakers,
writer's or editors has shown that he
had any knowledge of what we bought
or whether we were able to buy it
Perhaps the most ridiculous defender
that Mr.. Browne has is MIR. John III
Smyth who argues that If those dele
gates voted MIR. Browne $780, 600, cit is
nobody's business" and when it comes
to the financial condition of the Order,
he is astounded that anybody could
have the effrintery to say that the
amount paid out is not sufficient evil
dence of healthy condition of the es-
tabiishment. Then there is Mr.. Oliver,
Held lecturer, who is devoting his
voice to vindication Of Mr.. Browne,
saying whatever comes his way with
out any reference whatever to its rele-
vancy. Mr.. divers use of figures in a
recent issue of the half-monthly Re-
former WAS as poor piece of work in
business mathematics as / ever saw.
but Mr.. Smyth. and presumely, Mr..
Browne headed the thing Convincing
argument"
ANOTHER POINTED QUERY.
Mr.. Browne. Mr.. Burrell and Mr..
Hill comprise the Executive Board of
the Order and Mr.. John III. Smyth is
the Chief of the Bureau of Informa-
ton" Cannot these four combine
and give us a statement that will prove
that John Mitchell's statement that
the ORDERS financial condition is not
sound )" is false
Their mere assertion that things are
solid" is not enough. Proof, order
by proof is the only Convincing Ar
0ument" that is wanted. That with
held will breed suspicion continually,
and it ought to.
beg these gentlemen to show IL
there is a surplus and so settle the
question raised by Mr.. Isaac II. Smith

PETITION GRANTED

The facts in this case not showing
probable cause, it is insisted that the
action OF the Judge Of the Circuit
Court was without Jurisdiction, and
therefore, void, and shows no cause
why the mandamus prayed for should
not be awarded.
Whilst the allegations of the petit
tion did not warrant the Judge of the
Circuit Court in granting the writ of
habeas corpus, yet having done so, his
act was not void.
When a court has general iurisdic-
tion over cases of that class to which
the one in controversy belongs, al
though the facts in the case may not
have been sufficient to authorize the
court to take Jurisdiction yet, if it did
so, the question of Jurisdiction having
been decided by it's Judgment, cannot
be raised again, except by a proceed
ing in error. Fisher VS. Bassett, 8

coon GAUSS SHOWN.

And it appearing from the respond
ent's answer and the order of the
Judge of the Circuit Court that the
prisoners are now held under that or
der, good cause is shown why the
mandamus prayed for should not be
awarded.
1t is hardly necessary te say that we
have no doubt that the Governor and
all the other officials connected with
or involved in this most unfortunate
and unseemly controversy have been
governed by the utmost good faith in
the performance Of their duties. and
in the assertion of their rights as they
understood them. An order will be
entered refusing the mandamas. and
dismissing the petition.

ion: concur in the opinion lust de-

that it is by no means clear to me that

TIE LUNEsBURa ooURr's ORDER

On the llth day of this month the
County Court of Lunenburg county
directed the Sheriff to proceed at once
to Richmond and require of such Jail
er the bodies of said Marable, Barnes
and Abernathy, and in the same order
directed the keeper of the Jail to de-
liver the bodies of the prisoners to the
Sheriff The Sheriff, in obedience to
that order, demanded the bodies OF
the prisoners of the respondent, the
keeper of the Jail, who refused to de-
liver them to him
The respondent in his answer to the
rule TO show cause why the mandamus
prayed for should not be awarded
against him places his refusal to obey
the order of the County Court and the
demand of the Sheriff upon three
grounds:
Richmond planet., 1895-11-30
SERGEANT EPPs REASONS STATED.

The first of these grounds is that the
Governor of the Commonwealth Or
dered him not to deliver the prisoners
to the Sheriff as direc ed by the Coun-
ty Court
The functions of the various parts OF
our government are thoroughly sepa-
rated and distinctly assigned to the
principal branches of it-viz., the leg
islative, the executive, and the Judi
ciary. which, within their respective
departments, are equal and co-ordi-
nate If any thing is self-evident in
the structure and organization of our
government. it is that the Executive
has no power to interfere with the iu-
dietary in the performance of its du-
ties. II the County Court of Lunen-
burg county, or it's Judge, committed
error in making the order in question
the remedy was in the courts
THE GOVERNORS AUTHORITY.
We find nothing in the Constitution
or laws of the State which authorized
the Governor TO direct the keeper of
the jail to disobey the order OF the
County Court. and his act being with
out authority furnishes no legal an
swer to the rule, and shows no cause
why the mandamus prayed for should
not be awarded
The respondent assigns as further
reason for his action in refusing to
Richmond planet., 1895-11-30

the record ere it was considered bv
the Supreme Court. He, therefore
asked that the writ of habeas corpus
be dismissed.
JUDGR FLoURNoY's TELLING RESPONSE
Judge Flournoy replied to Mr.. South
all, and said IF there is one thing a
couri ought not to be in hurry about
il is to send prisoners to their death
and dismissal of the writ giving the
prisoners into the custody of the Sher-
if of Lunenburg would mean death to
them. The status of the case is iden-
tically the same as when the writ was
first enlarged If the gentlemen are
entitled to have their records amend
ed they can delay the proceedings in
the supreme Court OF appeals, but
they should not ask this court to dis
miss its writ"
JUDGE wELLFoRD's DECISION.
Judge Wexford announced his de-
cision without a moments delay Said
he 'As far as the effect of continu-
ing the case is concerned, the difficult
ties Mr.. Southall cited need not be
considered here The court of An
peals may be relied upon to indulge
the commonwealth, if it deems it nee
essary, and will most assuredly pro-
tect its interest. AS far as the aues-
tion of power is concerned, l see no
difficulty.
TIE COURT is COMPETENT
A court is competent to do any hing
it may see fit to do that is practical.
1t is necessary in every habeas corpus
case that the facts be inquired into.
and the Court should have full pre-
sentation of the case made by counsel.
But whether the case shall be contin-
ued from day TO day is entirely discre-
tiOnary with the Court. IF | were to
decide the case while the Supreme
Court of Appeals is considering it. /
would clearly be subject to reproach
for acting in contempt OF it
THE PETITION GRANTED.
The prisoners are in the custody of
the Supreme Court OF Appeals, and ].
therefore, will enlarge the writ, as re-
quested, and order the prisoners
brought here on Saturday"
Mr. Southsll stated % the Court that
the November term of the Lunenburp
Court adjourned by Limitation Satur-
day night, and insisted that the writ
be made returnable to-day. Judge
Wexford decided to comply with the
request Of Mr. Southall. and ordered
the prisoners back into his court that
afternoon at 4 o'clock
p The Supreme Court handed down
the decision in the Lunenburg case
upon the application of Sheriff N. @
Cardoza through his counsel, Judge
w. II Mann for a writ of mandamus
compelling City Sergeant Charles II
Epps to deliver Solomon Marable, Ma
ry Alternately and Pokey Barnes to
him The writ was denied, but the
result of other statements was of such
nature as to be virtual victory for
the Lunenburg authorities
The opinion was read by Judge
Buchanan, and all the other members
of the court united in it, except Judge
Keith, who, while concuIring in the
conclusion reached, submitted short
individual opinion, explaining his
position. The opinion of the court is

1t can be said at once that Mr.. Pade-
rewski has made progress in his art He
is greater pianist today than he was two
years ago. He has gained in finger
strength very much and this enables him
to impart not only more briliancy to his
scale work, but to widen the dynamic range
of those infinite gradations of shading
which he knows so well how to use.
Furthermore it assists him In the assump-
ton of broader and more commanding
style Availability, loneliness, tenderness
were the familiar elements of Mr. Padc-
rewskis style To these he has added &C
cents of high dignity, and there are mo-
ments now when his playing becomes
majestic in Its proclamation of feeling.

A TANGLE OF TEAMS.
Horse Starts at Passing Electric Car and
Makes Trouble.

Tuesday morning, one Of the NEST de-
mure looking little horses in the State of
Maine behaved in a most unssemly fash.
ion on Water street, disgracing himself
and his owner, Mr.. Gardner of North
Augusta.
Mr.. Gardner had just driven in from
his farm and had backed up to the store
of The J. E. Fuller Co. on Water street, to
unload huge hog. The unloading had
been safely made, and Mr.. Gardner was
inside, making some arrangements when
an electric car happened to pass by This
alarmed the horse, evidently unaccustomed
to such a sight, and with jump he
started down Water street. On the left of
him was J. <. Fuller team, on the right,
one Belonging to Thomas Howard, and all
these in some way became joined one with
another so that when the horse started
away, he had more than he bargained for.
The whole outfit made move for the
middle of the street. where the horse that
was making all the trouble broke loose,
knocked over the street cleaner, and
was getting right into the game
when Mr.. Gardner, hearing the COM
motion from the inside, made dash,
grabbed the horse by the neck, and
brought him to standstill His team
had one shaft broken the other teams be-
ing more or less banged and scratched.
