GBO. L. PATRICK.
Hon.
•rd p»errepo»tfcAtto^
1, has issued a ciltular to
uit and District Judges, the
Marshall or
THE 0ES8MET ON JUSTICE.,
The News recently stated that the
Supreme Chuff of this State had de
cided that an officer was not justifi-
able in shooting down a man who
has not been convicted of crime,
simply because be as attempting to
escape, and *h«t an officer who kills
a man sunder such circumstanoes is
liable to .indictment for murder,
whereupon the Cresset attempts to
make it appear that the News teach-
es the doctrine that officers are not
permitted to use force in arresting a
man who offers forcible ^resistance.
The Cresset in its aea3 to defend
somebody mistakes the position of
the News, and when our evening co-
temporary fries to make it appear
that we hold that an officer would
not be justified in opposing force to
force especially in arresting malefac-
tors, caught in the act of theft or
burgalry, it is setting up a man of
straw for its own amusement. If a
man is caught with stolen property
in his possession or in the act of
committing a crime and he resists
the officer who attempts his arrest,
then the officer is justified in using
sufficent force, and no more to over-
power the culprit.
If the thief is armed and attempts
or makes demonstrations threatening
the life of the officer he may be justi
Red in killing the accused—not be-
cause he is a thief or murderer but
on the plea of self protection.
In the case referred to, however,
and which brought out this contro-
versy, the man who was shot had
not been in charge of the officer not
was he caught by that functionery in
the act of theft, nor yet did he offer
any resistance until after the officer
fired the first shot. It mattered not
if the shot was fired into the ground,
the accused had good reasons to be-
lieve that it was fired at him and
that he was to be slain as an outlaw,
and therefore concluded to defend
his own life. He was running from
the officer, and had not even made a
threatening gesture or spoken an op-
posing word. The offense with
which he was charged was not one
for which the law could possibly ex-
act his life, hence the officer coulc
not be justified in taking or threaten-
ing it, so long as no forcible resis-
tance was made. There is no “fear,
ful odds” against the officer in th
discharge of his duty. The law per
mits him to use force and means
commensurate to the crime and char-
acter of the accused, in making ar-
rests, and he will be justified in kill-
ing a man to save his own life, but
not when the man is fleeing to avoid
arrest for a misdemeanor or for lar-
ceny.
let Attorney! and
the United Mates, in which he says
“That in some ofthe judicial dis-
tricts the expenses have' bee if extrav-
agant, without neceasTty aintfwithout
honesty,” and notifies them that se-
verer economy and stricter account-
ability must be enforced at all haz-
ard. He says:
“In many instances a large num-
ber of witnesses have been, kept for
many days in attendance, whose tes-
timony was nett ofthe slightest value,
and who, in many cases, did not tes-
tify at all, but were mere lazy loung-
ers about the court for the sake of
the fees; that exhorbitant and unnec-
essary charges for the arrest, trans-
portation and keeping of prisoners
and jurors, and for mileage, have
frequently been made, and that in
other respects extravagance has pre-
vailed which can not be tolerated.
Hereafter the district attorneys will
3e held responsible for the number
of witnesses who attend the courts,
and marshals will subpoena such
witnesses only as the district attorney
may in writing direct.
We hope that Ex-President Davis
will accept the position of president
of the Agricultural College at Bryan,
which was tendered to him unani
mously by the Board of Regents.
His acceptance would be hailed with
pleasure by the citizens of Texas,
and the position would no doubt be
an agreeable one to him.—Bryan

Crosby, the negro sheriff of Vicks-
burg, was mysteriously shot in the
face, while in a saloon drinking with
his deputy, Gilmer, a white man.
Crosby, who is in a critical position,
made affidavit charging Gilmer with
the act, but an examination before a
magistrate resulted in the discharge
of Gilmer.
The weather continues dry. In
portions of Harrison and Marion
counties there has been do rain of
any account for about five weeks.
Vegetation looks dry , and crops are
burning up. Cotton is small, and
the corn is wilting. It looks to us as
if we were in the midst of a protract-
ed drouth, but a friend who profrsses
to know, says there will be an abun-
dance of rain in a few days.—Mar-
shal Herald.
