Judge Wants His Full Salary,

Hon. +. o. Sykes, of Aberdeen, tho
circuit judge from whose salary the
auditor recently deducted $50, the
amount claimed by Hon. Newman Cayce
FOR services as special Judge during
the recent term of the Monroe County
Court objects very seriously to this cur
tailment OF his salary, and has instituted
proceedings by which he hopes to com
pei the State to pay Judge Cayce.
Messrs. Alexander Il Alexander. at.
torneys, have applied fora writ of man
damus to force the auditor to issue to
Judge Sykes warrant to cover the sum
deducted from his salary. Judge Skyes
not only claims that the act of the late
Legislature compelling regular Judges,
chancellors and district attorneys to
pay specials is unconstitutional. but
that in this particular case the special
judge had been employed prior to the
passage Of the law, that he (Sykes) wa
legally barred from trying the case
heard by Judge Cayce, having been the
attorney prior to his appointment to
the bench. and furthermore that he
(Sykes) had not lost a single day of
court. He says he proposes to put the
law to the test.

HONOR TO WALTHALL.
Senator Moneys Tribute to His
Late Colleague.
In the Death OF the Distinguished Missis.
sippian the Nation Lost n Patriot
and an Honest Man.

The eulogies upon the late Senator
Walthall, of Mississippi, pronounced re-
Gently in the United States senate,
have never been excelled in the cham
Der in extremity of language, and
never were eulogies spoken by men
more thoroughly confident that every
word was warranted. In delivering
eulogies it is necessary, of course, to
contine comment to only pfaiseworthy
phases of the subjects character Hence
it is that usually some features of the
late life is ignored when a speech of
eulogy is made. The strongest pos
sible evidence of Senator Walthall's no
BILE life, therefore, is to be found in the
fact that his character was treated in
every phase, public and private, and nc
feature of his life was overlooked or
neglected when those who knew him
best came to speak of him as they knew
him, and as he was. The speech OF
Senator Money, his colleague from Mis-.
sissippi was as follows:
Mr.. President, twice within twelve month
death has taken from the senate two ilustriOus
sons OF Missssippi; within eight years -four
great men from that commonwealth who were

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Ashley Cooke Free.

Ashley Cooke, who killed Sheriff
Bray, of Tate county, on March ~. was
tried and acquitted at fernando last
week. All of Northern Mississippi was
startled at the time Of the killing on ac-
count of the prominence of the parties
involved. Cookies trial lasted ten days,
and during that time 1873 witnesses on
both sides were examined. The case
attracted widespread attention in that
part OF the State. Cooke is prominent
man. and belongs to one of the best
families in Northern Mississippi. He
killed Bray Immediately after having
| exchanged shots with Holmer Gilmore,
in Senatobia. The State attempted to
prove that Bray was killed while en-
deavoring to perform his duty by ar
resting Cooke for having shot Gilmore.
The latter, according to the testimony,
shot at Cooke first. AS Cooke rode into
the town about noon Gilmore Is said to
have opened fire on him. GQcl<a inmped

He shot at Gilmore five times a& N IL !

came round corner and made for !.
Cooke to arrest him. The State claimed
that he was trying to peacefully per-
form his duty. The theory Of the de-
Tense was different. 1t was claimed
that Bray and Gilmore were in CON
spiracy to kill Cooke. and that Bray
came upon Cooke, demanding his sur
render with drawn pistol, and APP
plying vile language to him. 1t was
also claimed that Bray fired the first
shot that started the sequel shooting.
AT the first shot from Cookies pistol, it
is said, Bray fell. Cooke shot several
times at him while he was falling.

Tho Invest Was Legal.

j Badly vs. John Ii. Hunter, adloinis.
traitor, a1rming the validity of invest
ments in confederate bonds during the
civil war. In rendering the opinion OF
the court, Justice Harlan said:
The transactions between persons actually
residing within the territory dominated by ths
government of the confederate states were not
invalid, for the reason only that they occurred
under the sanction OF the laws OF that govern
henl or any local government recognizing ii
authority. The preservation OF order, the
mhin@nance OF police regulations, the pros
eention OF Grim IS, the protection OF prop
erty, the enforcement of contracts, the cele.
bra'ion OF marriages, the settlement OF es.
tates, the transfer and des ,ent OF property,
and similar or kindred subjects were during
the var undor the control OF the local govern.
nent constituting the s0-callel confederate
states. What occurred or was done in respect
10 such matters under the authority of the
laTs Of these local de facto governments
slould not be disregarded or held invalid mere
ly,sFcau,e the governments were organized in
HOSTILITY to the Union established by the Da-
tlonal constitution, because the existence OF
war did not relieve those within the insurrec-
tibnnry lines from the necessity of civil obedi-
ence nor destroy the bonds of society.
The case went to the supreme court
on writ of error from the supreme
court of Ge )rgia, and the opinion of
that court was affirmed.
