reason of such non-residence, and by
absence from his district.
Second, That he had appointed and
maintained as commissioner of his
court, one B. C. Tunison, man of
bad reputation, and has so conducted
himself as to create, at least, general
impression that his court is dominated
by said Tunison in administration or
justice therein.
Third. Maladministration of bank
ruptey matters before him, whereby
the assets of bankrupts were absorb
ed in costs and expenses.
Fourth, That he has been guilty OF
corruption in his office and oppres-
sion in the following instances: w.
H. Hoskins, against whom involuntary
proceedings we're brought; against
Samuel Belden and E. T. Davis, who
were most wrongfully and unjustly
punished for alleged contempt; against
w. C. O'Neal, upon a charge of con-
tempt and against one G. D. Hoskins
the two latter having died with such
proceedings pending.
Fifth, That he corruptly purchased a
lot of land in litigation before Rim
and afterwards tried another case, be-
tween practically the same parties, in
voIving the same lands, and directing
the jury to bring in a verdict in favor
of the title which he had purchased.
Sixth, He has appointed as court COM
missioner, one John Thomas Porter,
who maintains an office at Marianna
while his residence is at Grand Ridge,
fourteen miles distant, thereby caus-
ing great expense and inconvenience
to parties before his court and to the
government.
Seventh, That he corruptly lobbied
with j. NJ. Barrs to prevent the re-
distrieting of the state.

QUIET IN COAL FIELDS.
Martial Law Thus Far Has Kept All
Serene,

Martial Law Thus Far Has Kept All
Serene.
Denver, Col. March 24.-Martial law
is in operation to-day in two Colorado
counties-San Miguel and Las Animas.
Reports from both districts are to the
effect that conditions at present are
peaceful.
At Telluride, San Miguel county,
press censorship is exercised, and no
news is sent out except such as ap-
proved by the authorities. No press
censorship has yet been established at
Trinidad or other towns in the coal
fields.
At the Capitol no secret is made of
the fact that the purpose in declaring
martial law in San Miguel county is to
prevent the return to Telluride of the
union men, who were expelled from
the camp by an organization of armed
business men and who have an
nounced their intention to go back un-
der protection of an injunction grant
ed by District Judge Theron Stevens.
Cant. BuIkeley Wells, whom Gov.
Peabody has appointed military COM
mander of the district, was one OF the
leaders of the party that drove the
union men and their sympathizers out
Of the camp He said that If the
exiles should attempt to return they
would be regarded as characters likely
70 create disorder in the district and
would be dealt with accordingly.
GOV. Peabody to-day ordered AdJt.
Gen. Bell to send 300 more soldiers to
Telluride. No trouble is reported

the present President to say that he
had asked him (Mr. Bacon) to inform
him in case he knew of anything detri-
mental to an appointed but that he
had not been able to do so, as he
knew absolutely nothing about intend
ed appointments until names were sent
in. Mr.. Bacon disclaimed any desire
to control appointments because of the
patronage itself, but said that his only
interest was that of securing compe-
tent officials.
In illustration of his point that the
South is practically disfranchised in
federal appointments, Mr. Bacon said
that only one of the Isthmian Canal
Commissioners is from the South and
that of nine members of the Supreme
Court only two men are of Southern
birth.
Mr.. Hoar said that New England is
unrepresented on the Canal Commits
sion, and Mr.. Bacon replied that if
that was the case 1t was worth noting,
for it was very rarely that New Eng
land is overlooked in such matters.
Mr.. Bacon also said that notwith-
standing the South pays it's share of
the taxes, practically all the money ex-
pended on account of pensions is dis
tributed in the. Northern states.
Mr.. Hopkins asserted that Illinois
pays as much internal revenue taxes
as any seven or eight of the Southern
states, but Mr.. Bacon replied that it
is a fallacy to say that the money is
entirely collected in the state in which
1t is paid in the way of taxes.
Early in the day Mr.. Gibson spoke
in support of his bill for the repeal
of the desert land, the timber and
stone laws and of the commutation
clause of the homestead law.
The Senate adjourned until to-mor-
row

TEN HORSES STARTED
AND THEY ALL FELL

London, March 24.-An extraordinary
series of mishaps occurred during the
Stanley steeplechase at Liverpool to-
day. Ten horses started and they fell
They began tumbling at the first fence
and continued so doing until only one,
Glenmore, was left. Glenmore fell
twice, but was pluckily remounted and
finished alone. His rider came in COW
cred with blood and most of the other
Jockeys sustained injuries, some re-
quiring stitches. Half the fences were
demolished and must be rebuilt for the
grand national tomorrow.
King Edward, who is the guest of the
Earl of Derby at Knowsley Park, Pres
colt, will attend the grand national to

Upon the white Book.

London, March 25.--The Toxic COR
respondent of the Times, commenting
on the white book recently issued. says
that the signal concession in Japans
last note during the negotiations with
Russia. offering to recognize Manchu-
ria as outside Japan's political sphere,
instead of placating the Russians
seemed to lead them to imagine that
Japan would sacrifice anything rather
than fight. The entire correspondence,
according to the representative of the
Times, shows that Russia was invent
ing frivolous pretexts for delay and
that the government at st. Petersburg
subordinated itself to Viceroy Alexieff
throughout the negotiations.
