His ca reer is ended for this life. It has been touched in these 14 years by ho stain, by no reproach, by no fault or failintr, either official or personal. Upright, brave, even-minded, impar tial, patient, kindly, as a citizen and in every walk of private life, he has filled his career with honor, freat honor to himself and with in nile benefit to his country.

By Telegraph to the If ews and Observer. Locisville: Ky. March 23 This morning the two houses of the Ken tucky Legislature suspended the rules and passed resolutions agreed upon by a Democratic caucus calling for an immediate and full investiga tion of all tho State officers. At a secret caucus tf the Demo cratic members of the two houses resolution was adopted directing a committee to call upon uovernor Buckner and aek of him that he stop Auditor Hewitt from taking further part in the investigation of Treasurer Tate s affairs and the status of the State treasury. This was done and the Governor promised the commit tee that Auditor Hewitt should be kept from the treasurer's office. At the caucus mentioned those who at tended made no effort to conceal the fact that a great deal of feeling has been aroused against the State Audi tor. There is every indication that trouble is brewing, but no one ven tures to make specific charges against any one but Tate. There was no hesi tation on the part of the assembled legislators that Hewitt's actions had impeded the investigation of Treas urer Tate's accounts. This was the sense of the meeting, and each movement of the Auditor in the affair was discussed at length. An expressed opinion that the exami nation of the defaulting treasurer's accounts had been purposely retarded by Auditor Hewitt was not contra dicted, and some went bo far as to im plicate the Auditor in the defalcation. It was almost the unanimous opinion of the caucus that an investigation will develop more rottenness than has yet seen the light. ntsaaaamie Mi . . . .. . By Telegraph to the News ana Observer.

By the News and Observer. Buchanan vs. Buchanan. The will of Henry Buchanan was proved in 1845. In it he gave the land sued for to iQ son' Richmond "and should Richmond die without a bodi ly heir, it is mv will that my son Andrew should have it alL" Andrew died in 1847. Richmond survived him and his will was proved in 1876; in it he devised this land to his wife, who brings this action against the defendants, the children of Andrew, who are now in possession. The Judge of the Supreme Court held that a proper construction of the will required that Richmond should die without issue in Jthe life time of the testator in order for the limita tion over to Andrew to take effect. Held, That the true principle is to ascertain the intent of the testator and to give tho instrument such an interpretation as Hill "effectuate that intent. Jeld, That the intent of the testa tor in the will is to devise the prop erty to one ton upon the death of the other without issue; and no sufficient reason exists to construe the will as requiring the death of the first de visee in the lifetime of the devisor, in" ordor to vest an estate in the other devisee. Held, That the will construed in light of the Statute of 1827 (Sec 1327 Code), which annexes to the de vise the words "living at the time of his death," makes a good limitation over to the he;rs of Andrew. McDaniel vs. Allen & Parker. Allen, being a tenant of Parker, made an agricultural lien to Mc Daniel to secure advances, and Par ker, in writing, promised to release three bales of the cot1 on crop for Allen to pay to McDaniel. McDaniel brought claim and delivery for the cotton. Held, That whatever tight the lien may have given as against Allen, it gave none against Parker. Held, That any promise made by Parker to release three bales of cot ton generally gave no title to any specific bales that would sustain an action for claim and delivery. Held, That while plaintiff might recover dsmigeF, he could not re cover any specific bales of cotton. THE EDO fc r.AlUK GUARDS. FLOOD FOLLOWING THE ICE GORGES IN THE NORTH.
