The denial of Jude Sutton, who held court at Charlotte last w eek,' to the effect that he did not authorize the statement published over his signature ordering the sheriff to report delinquent tax payers by Saturday night, as giv en in yesterday's Sun, came in on slow time. The notice was pub lished in the-Charlotte papers on Monday and Tuesday, if we " mis take not, and the Judge waited until Sunday to deny it. This, at t, least, shows the Judge off very (' i , lame. He certainly knew of the published statement before that time.! In this connection thej Charlotte News says: . "If he advertisement niisrc prescntel the jmjLre's position why was it not corrected I jut once", as it could and-shouhl have been ? It can hardly be that he was igno r mt of a niatterj that created so muehtalk and excitement through out the city and the county." The Judge admits th it he spoke of the matter to ; the sheriff hut that he did it in L jocular mood. ' Of course hej Left it with the sheriff to decidei whether or not he was jesting. The News says: 4 The question then arises: 4 the sheriff expected to know when the judge is. in a jocular 'mood 2" To prove that the J udge maile the remark, whether jocular or earn estly, we copy the following from the Observer: , ' 4In a conversation between his honor and a representative .of the Observer, last evening J udge -a. -gr after tle grand jury had been charged, he asked the sheriff in open exiurt how he was getting along with his tax collections, and the sheriff answering that they were coming along rather .poorly, fie told him to have a list of the delinquentk furnished him by Sat urday and that he would then see what he could do for him," the sheriff." The Observer is cohceeded to be very fair and accurate by all par ties and as the word jocular does not appear in the 'quotation we take A t that the J udge has made out a pretty poor case. These facts were much like Judge Coble's case during Supe rior court here some weeks ago, only there was no published statement from him. It is clear the Judge's are conniving at the iJaw. They are! afraid to trust awn production to a test. Rather, it seems, they are trying to make the whole thing a Demo- cratid lie, but they will find this a cons'derable undertaking. J CJonorress has appropriated $200,000 for the relief of the desti tute mines of the Klondike gold regions, and the expedition con vey in supplies will be under the direction of the War Department. Early jin the summer, when the adventurous gold hunters were pouri ig into the Klondike by thous; mds. Secretary of War Alger officially warned ail who contem plated undertaking the journey against the dangers of the expedi tion, lit was pointed out by the Score ary that those who w ere fully quipped would suffer great hards lips, while the thousands who went without adequate sup plies would take their lives into their wn hands, with the prob- ahiliH of succumbing to death starvation and exposure. from The w arnlngf mav have been heed some, but thousands of men ed by who iad. neither supplies nor money to buy supplies to tide them over t 3 le winter months swarmed e gold country. While they into t! i - are to be blamed for t heir reck - lessness, the transportation com panies arc in part responsible Any man who could afford to pay for a ticket to the points at which the steam boat companies landed expeditions for the Klondike was take,n (along although he may not h ive had enough money to. purchase his dinner after he was put as lore in Alaska. The com petiticn among the railroad and steamboat companies led also to a reduction of rates, and the con sequer ce was that gold-seekers with only a few dollars were . able to buy transportation, i Although those to whom the government will now undertake to send distance are largely ; the victims of their own recklessness, the effort of the government to save them from starvation will meet with General approval. When a man is dying ior jacK oi ioou . or clothing it is not the part of hu manity! to consent to his death be- cause e was imprudent or obsti- nate a an J would not listen to sound advicel! Possibly it is not the it government's business to send jsup- plies t j those! who have deliberate ly brc light trouble upon them selves, but the. American people will v ink at the "paternalism" which relieves the distress in the ice-bound Klondike, and their best wishes will accompany the expeditions. A dispatch from Nashville he certainty that Governor I will call an extra session of states Taylbrf the Ed gislature about January 10 nas let to' the expected announce- ment that Re )resentative Benton McMillin will I' be a candidate foi the United States Senate to till out If ., ' ' ! . . , the unexpired term of the late Senate r Harris. Mr. McMillin annouiced last week thathe would be a. candidate in case, the extra session is called. The race be tween Mr. McMillin and Senator Turje who wras appointed by (jroveiiior Taylor, will be a very interesting one. Friends of both lave been at work some day. j P esident IJampson, of the Mexic , Cuernevaca & Pacific Railroad, with a small party, ac companied Mr. and Mrs. Bryan to Cuern 3raca, yesterday.

A special from BarboUrville, Ky.y says: Isoni Lawson, the 13-year-old boy who murdered his father, on Brush creek, in this county, was given a life; sentence in the penitentiary. According to the evidence, the crime was a brutal one, and it is probable that no effort will be made to secure a new trial. Lawson killed his par ent by striking him on the head with a hoe, because the father had corrected him for some misde meanor the lad had been guilty of. Lawlessness to be Put Down. ' The Mobile Register says: "The Florida. parishes of Louisiana have been filling up rapidly with AVes tern men during the past four years, but the assassinations going on oyer there will give that sort of thing a pause. The peculiar cir-, cum stance is that the Florida par ishes are noted for the simplicity of the lives of the people: there is seldom a robbery ancl people nevei lock their doors or windows at night except in the ! towns 'along the railroads. Nevertheless then have been more crimes of blood shed in those parishes than in any part of Louisiana, and general h the crimes are of the most terri ble character, assassination being frequently resorted to. The sher iff of Tangiphaor writes that tin parish was divided into two fac tions, and. that it is impossible foi him to arrest the men suspected ol the criniorf committed last Week, rhe' ; peoplo HUt aiiit)!! them selves and kill erch other off at night or on the lonely road, bin refuse to resort to legal .method, to apprehend even the men of the opposite faction.

Foster de clares that he is determined to put down the lawlessness if It requires the full military force of the Stale Another Artie Ezpeditio. Contemplation of the details of Lieutenant Perry's coming exj e dition to the north pole will doubt less give a deal of satisfaction to persons who find the present wealh er not sufficiently wintry.
