This, VIC believe, sets a dangerous precedent. one that will cause plenty of trouble in the fight game in this state. We should think that the draw decision would have stood but at the same time. we admire the courage of the referee in braving the storm of criticism that is bound to follow his announcement.

Start the hemstitching on the wrong
side by inserting the needle under the
rolled corner and bringing il out on
the line where the work begins. Slip
the needle under four threads and
draw needles and thread through. In.
sert needle under these same four
threads and this time thrust the tip
OF the needle into the rolled hem and
make the stitch catching up as little
of the goods as will serve to hold the
stitch. Repeat around the hem in this
same manner. This is the usual hem
stitching preparatory 10 the drawn
work.
AT a distance Of about one quarter
inch below the last thread drawn for
the hemstitching make another hand
OF two or more drawn threads. Draw
ing two threads is only advisable when
work is coarse. Four or five threads
gives an average depth that is attrac

stitching. Working on the right side
OF the goods, insert the needle at top
OF plain hand that comes between
rows OF drawn threads Run the
needle under four threads and take
the back stitch. Bring the needle
down over the top of the goods and
under the next four threads. take a
back stitch. bringing the needle out
AT top OF plain band and one group of
threads ahead. Take a back stitch
and bring needle down over top as
before. Repeat around the work On

Washington History
ny DONALD A. CRAIG.

January .. 1861.--It was learned to.
day that the reason given by Jacob
Thompson. Secretary OF the Interior.
for his resignation from President
Ruchanan's cabinet yesterday was
that troops were sent by the SeCre-
tary of War to reinforce Fort Sumter,
s. c., without his knowledge. or his
having been consulted In any way.
He takes the position that as mem.
her OF the cabinet he should be con.
suited in advance concerning what
ever any other member OF the cabinet
may do in the discharge OF the bust
ness intrusted to nina doctrine
which many persons regard as absurd.
1t is generally believed that the real
reason for Mr.. Thompson's resigna.
ton Is simply that he found 1t no
longer possible to use his position in
the cabinet to embarrass the Govern
ment's measures To preserve the
Union intact. Mr.. Thompson is a
Mississippian and his sympathies
with the slave holding States are we'll
known.
A letter received here today from
Charleston. s. C.. says that the condi.
ton OF affairs in that city is heart.

ever. and the merchants anticipate
general bankruptcy. Sickness is said
To prevail to an alarming extent
among the armed bands which con.
troll the city, and beef sells at 81 cents

hausied
The Treasury Department has re-
ceived a report from the Government
disbursing agent at Charleston. say
ing that the Governor of South Caro-
lima has interfered to prevent him
from discharginG his duties, and the
Assistant Treasurer stationed there
has refused to notice his requisition
for money. thereby preventing pay
