William Li to be found in our telegraphic columns this morning, will send a thrill of pain to the hearts of the people of Mississippi that has rarely been equalled. This melancholy event occurred at the Imperial Hotel in the now Imperial city of Washington, at an early hour yesterday morning.

A reputation for selling goods LOWER than auy other house here, has long been conceded them (when competition is carried on legitimately) hence, the reason of their doing the Lion's share of the Dry Goods trade here, both at wholesale and Retail.

When theSenato refused Judge SLsrkey his seat as a Representative of the once sovereign State of Mississippi, his official career came to a final conclusion, as he was never again a candidate for, or the incumbent of, official station. We have neither the space nor the leisure to do such justice to the character of Judge Sharkey, as is its due. His fame as a jurist is as pure and unstained as the ermine itself, and his name will go down to future years side by side with those of Marshall, Kent, Story, and the other great lights of the legal firmament who have made he annals of jurisprudence illustrious.

In all the bright array there will be no brighter, prouder name on fame's eternal roster than that of William Lewis Sharkey.

Field, Attorney General of Louisiana: Sib I desire to call your attention to the fact that John McEnery, of the parish of Ouachita, in this State, but now professedly residing in the city of New Orleans, has been for several weeks past, continually violating the provisions of section 1 of act No. 24, session of 1873, approved March 5, 1873, and entitled "An act declaring it a crime to usurp a public office, and providing for the punishment of such offence," etc. He has openly declared himself the Governor of the State in various publications, called by him Proclamations, and he has thus interfered with the Executive Department of the government by advising and inciting resistance to the laws, and to the officers charged with the collection of the revenue of the State. Furthermore, I have information that he has assumed to Issue several commissions to persons as public officers, and in order to do so has forged the seal of the State. In one case, at least, he has thus organized and planned an active interference with the public officers of the State in the discharge of their duties.

Instance the revolutionary acts of the persons so appointed by him, in temporarily seizing and holding the public records of the parish of Livingston. I therefore request you to institute a prosecution of the said Jno. McEnery before the proper tribunal, in accordance with law and the section of the statute abovo recited. Very respectfully, Signed W. P.

Kellogg. April 22, 1873. Hon. A. P.

Field, Attorney -General of Louisiana: bir Many citizens of the State having complained to me of the failure of the Government to prosecute the persons who, on the 5th day of March, 1873, organized an armed resistance to, and perpetrated an attack upon, the con stituted and legal authorities of the State, whereby of several citizens were sacrificed; and, as I am advised, that the persons who committed that outrage are guilty of the capital crime of treason, and having information in ray possession which implicates John McEnery, to whom I referred in my letter to you of this date, in the crime aforesaid; and believing the State can establish that he aud bis aiders and abettors have, continued to maintain their treasonable or ganization, and are still project ing and levying a war against the Commonwealth, and that the re cent massacre in the parish of Grant, if not ditectly planned and ordered by this man and his associates was the result of their treasonable acts against the State Government, I therefore request you to lay before the Grand Jury of this parish such proof as may be furnished to you looking to the indictment of the said John McEnery, and any other implicated with him, for treason. You will spare no effort in this prosecution. If you meet with any illegal or unwarranted obstacle, you will report the same to me. I inclose herewith certain papers, signed by the same Johu McEnery, assuming to be Governor of this State. Other papci'3 and proofs will be furnished you, together with names of witnesses.

Very respectfully, Signed f. P. Kellogg. Diego and IhcTeiat Pacific Railroad. A speciai dispatch to the New York Daily Bulletin fiotj the editor of the Daily Union, San tyiego, Cat-, announces the commencement, on Monday last, of work on the Texas Pacific Railroad at that place.

This news is of considerable importance as settling once for all, and in favor of San Dego. tfte question of the Western route and terminus of the new Southern Trans-Continental Railroad, upon which work is now vigorously prosecuted at both ends of the line, under the auspices of Col.

In his sermon last Sunday evening, enforcing lbs idea that men might bo -heroin even in a bad cause, Ittv. II. W. Beecher said He did not know on earth a more pitiable sight than South Carolina. It was at one time the Lewis Sharkey, Mississippi surfers a loss that is irreparable.

In all ber borders she has no son to take the place of him who but yesterday ceased to live, and many long years may come and go ere we again look upon his equal. Though born in the close of the last century, Judge Sharkey was so thoroughly a Mlssissippian that he has long been regarded as one "native here and to the manner born." Coming to the State in 1S03, when their son William was a mere child, his parents settled in this county, near Warrenton. Young Shar key, after obtaining such an edu- I cation as the country then afforded, studied law with an eminent legal firm in Natchez, and upon receiving his license in 1822, commenced the practice of his profession at Warrenton, then the county seat of this county. Three years later the Courthouse was removed to this city, and with it came the young aspirant for legal honors, and here he continued to reside for a quarter of a century. The 'house in which he dwelt for years, is still standing at the corner of Cherry and Jackson streets.

It has recently been greatly improved and modernized. After a residence of two years in this city, Mr. Sharkey was elected to the Legislature, and on his first appearance in the House of Representatives, was elected Speaker of that body. How he performed his duties it is needless to enquire. Few deliberative bodies here ever had a presiding officer of equal ability, dignity and integrity.

Under the Constitution of the State, adopted in 1832, Mr. Sharkey, was, the same year, elected one of the three Judges of the High Court of Errors and Appeals, and by his colleagues on the bench, he was at once made Chief-Justice. Judge Sharkey was elected for four con secutive terms ol six years each, and after having held the office of Chief-Justice for nearly nineteen years, he resigned that honorable position in the fall of 1850, to accept, at the hand of President Fillmore, the office of American Consul at Havana. His learning and dignity, his inflexible honesty and firmness, combined with his thorough knowledge of the principles of international law, made his appointment as the American Representative in the Island of Cuba, a singularly proper one at a time when the peace of the country was threatened by the complications arising out of certain filibustering expeditions against the ever faithful Isle. Having discharged the special mission for which he was appointed, and not finding his position an attractive one.

Judge Sharkey resigned, came home, and returned to the practice of his profession. Of his labors and his triumphs in the field of his choice, we need not speak These form a portion of the history of the country, and we are admonished by our limited space to hasten to a conclusion. When the bloody civil strife, which commenced at Fort Sump-ter in 18C1, and culminated at Appomattox in 1865, had closed, and the Government of the United States commenced the work of re constructing the State Govern ments of the South, President Johnson conferred upon Judge Sharkey the office of Provisional Governor of Mississippi. He accepted the position and devoted himself with characteristic energy to his new and arduous duties. How those duties were performed the people of Mississippi know.

The State having been reconstructed la accordance with the plan favored by President Johnston, the people found themselves once more under the rule of officers of their own choice. With Gen. B. G. Humphreys as Governor, there came up to the capitel a Legislature chosen by the people, and this Legislature, seeking to restore the State to harmonious relations with the government of the United States, elected William IT.

Sharkey, and James L. Alcorn, to represent Mississippi In the Senate of the United Stales. As is well known, those gentlemen were refused their seats, and Mis-sissi'Jpr remained unrepresented until little Adalbert Ames, knock ed, with the butt of a musket at the door ofthe benate Chamber, and on SHAD I State was strong and unchangea ble. Men differed with him politically, but his legal learning, his Roman firmness, his inflexible honesty, and that innate dignity of character which enveloped his whole life, gave him a place in the affections of the people which defied all change. When the grave closes over the mortal remains of Judge.

Sharkey, the world will have looked its last upon the line of great lawyers who commenced their career contemporaneously with him in Mississippi. Winchester, Walker, Prentiss, Gnion, Boyd, Quitman, McMurren, and a host of brilliant men who started in the race of life with him, all preceded him to the grave. Of all who sat on the Bench of the High Court with two remain. Turner, Trotter, Smith, Yerger, Thacher, are all gone; and Clayton and Handy alone remain to remind us of the High Court of Errors and Appeals of Mississippi ia that Augustan era of learning, intellect, eloquence and integrity. To think of what the Bench of Mississippi was in the years that arc to know what it is to day, saddens heart and soul, and we turn from the splendors of the past, to the mental poverty and moral squalidity of the present, with a sensation of disgust and loathing beyond our power to repress.

In closing this brief and imper fect sketch of the life and services of Judge Sharkey, all unworthy as we feel it to be, we cannot permit the occasion to pass without a suggestion to the distinguished profession which his life honored and ornamented. It is not proper that the Bar of Mississippi should allow the name of Judge Sharkey to pass out of men's minds without a formal recognition by his professional brethren, the moral and intellectual worth which adorned his long and useful career. Let the Bar make arrangements lor a grand gathering of the profession nest winter, to do honor to the memory of Suakkey. Let an orator be chosen who can recount, in "thoughts that breathe and words that burn," the simple story of a life full of encouragement, crowded with instruction, and redolent of honor. Let it be an occasion worth7 of the fame of our great Jurist, worthy of Mississippi, and worthy also tf the men who seek to emulate the glory, whi.cn, like a halo, encircles his name.

And now, farewell, old friend. Day by day the grave closes upon the few remaining actors of a past age. Pay by day they cast off the burden of life and lie down to pleasant dreams. In a few brief years those you have left behind will join you, to commence the race of life eternal in a world where care and sorrow are unknown. While they yetremain on the earth they will bear cheerful and faithful testimony to the virtues of William L.

Sharkey. To the illustrious jurist, the unswerving patriot, the honest man, th firm friend, we bid a last farewell. Peaceful be his slumbers, and sweet the powers that bloom above his grave. The wife of Judge Sharkey, Ids cherished friend and companion for half a century, survives, to share ith the people of Mississippi the great loss they have sustained. He died childless, and leaves no descendent to wear his name, or iuherit the bright and enduring renown with which it is forever enshrined.

Judge Sharkey had lived beyond the years allotted to man by the Psalmist, and had nearly reached bis eightieth year, when the inexorable messenger called him "home." The St. Paul Press thinks that "what the Indian most needs is to get rid of the idea that he is a licensed blackmailer," Such aa Real Human Hair Switches, Plaits, Cliatalaius, Full Sets of Natural Curls, Single and Double Curls, Crown Pompadours for Ihe front of the Hair, Chignons, etc. LADIES' READY-MADE UNDERGARMENTS, And all other articles for a complete outfit tif I.UVS lilt DAL TROUSSIUHX example of Longstreet and went over to the enemy. He served as a delegate to Grant's Philadelphia Nominating Convention, and is now receiving his reward for the abandonment of section, people and principle. Thrift, at last, baa followed fawning.

The Chicago Journal warns tax payers that unless they keep i strict watch they are going to be robbed of a million of dollars or so in the building of the new county courthouse. Here in the South, no matter how vigilant the tax-payers may be the army of leeches sent down by the Journal and other kindred prints.stcal millions and then ask the Government to Grant them a new lease of power, and Grant generously and promptly complies with the party demands. Gen. Butler, of Massachusetts, a pre-eminently representative man of the Administration, is likely to be a candidate for Governor of his State, and the New York Sun hopes nothing will be done to prevent his nomination. Let him rnn as the orthodox Grant Republican, Credit-Mobilier, backpay candidate; and if there is any doubt as to the proper device for his banners, let them bear a bun-die of spoons on one side and a sack of back pay on the other.

One of Kellogg's official robbers in Carroll parish, forcibly broke open the store of Gen. W. L. Mc-Millen last week and carried off two dray loads of meat, tobacco, whisky, to pay the State license, the payment of which McMillen resists. The gentleman in charge made a manly resistance, but was overpowered by the plunderers' it is much to be regretted that Gen.

McMillen was not present to check this lawlessness in a manner that would prevent a repetition of the outrage, at least by the recent participants iu the robbery. "Where law ends," says Chatham, "tyranny It is announced from Washington that there is argent demand for a few companies of United States cavalry on the Texan border. The neighboring Mexican States appear to be in a very disturbed condition, which, in itself, would, be a sufficient reason for precautionary measures, but for the fact that the attention of the administration is now engaged in the disgraceful work of endeavor ing to fasten upon a liberty-loving people chains of 'servitude. For years bands of Mexicans have constantly been making forays across the border, murdering American 4 citizens and stealing their property, but the govern ment was always too busy recon structing rebels and making the Republican party master or the situation in the South to spare any troops to protect the citizens living along the border. And so it is and Wilt be the party of "great fmoral ideas" remains in power.
