it will be fourd that the
quarantine regulations have
not been violated and that
no fever exists or has eX-
listed in either Of those

doubtless infested with
ticks, as nearly all tile cattle

they are not fever ticks;
at least no fever ever de-

II HE RECORD
BY COGER G WILkEPSON.

Jerry South was king
for a day. The Democrat
congratulates the common
wealth that It was Only
for a day. If Jerry had
reigned for a week there
is no telling what might
have happened. He might
have declared the independ-
cnce of Cuba and called
out The militia. Or he
might have reconvened the
general assembly. In fact,
Jerry as acting governor
might have performed many
strange and unaccountable
deeds if he had been granted
the opportunity. But he
had only a day, and that
day was devoted to Judge
Hudoins. With a boldness
characteristic of himself
he RENTED fnes imposed
by a judicial officer" and
stigmatized the acts of the
officer as those Of a tyrant.
No governor or acting gov
ernor has ever presumed
to 60 so far, and it is for
this reason that the Demo
crat hopes that Mr.. South
may not again be called
t. occupy the chair of state
Surely it is no part of the
business Of a governor or an
acting governor to cast
unmerited reflection upou a
coordinate branch of the
government. "A r k. Demo

PIECE OF WORK.
Horsemen and horseowners in this section are
much Interested in the inquiries which are being
made to discover. II possible, who 1t was that In
jured the weil-known housekeeping gelding Coxcy,
the property Of Charles +. Bates, OF this city. Last
Thursday Mr.. Bates took forty-eight horses to
Long Branch, intending to exhibit many OF them at
the horse show which opens at Hollywood, y. j..
to-day The horses stabbed Ryerson &
Browns which is close the West End Hotel.
Among the animals Coxey, and. In accordance
with the orders OF Mr. Bates. the geding was TO be
watched without intermissOn by men employed
for that purpose. on Friday evening. II Is pre-
sumed. the man who was in charge OF the animal
stepped out of the stable for few minutes, and
during his absence some person entered the stable
and stabbed Coxey in the right sthe point innict-
ing a cean-cut and painful wound, with knife.
Later Friday evening. when the gelding was led
out he lame. and this was the first ntmatton
the groom had that anything had happened.
II was first supposed that the wound was
caused by the horse rolling on nall but close ex-
animation OF the injured part showed that this was
the case. Mr.. Bates wired 10 this city for two
veterinary surgeons TO hasten 10 Long Branch.
Both agreed thai the horse was wounded mali
ciously and If the knife had gone little deeper the
animal would have been ruined.
Last year CoXey won In every class that he was
shown In. Every one Interested Is satisfied tina, the
manning was the work OF some mscreant, but 80
of the person who did the mischief else he does

such cowardly act
Coxey is recovering slowly under the constant
OF the surgeons, and IL Is hoped that he will
have recovered sufficiently to be exhibited In some
OF the classes in which he has been entered.
