McGhee, tlie Murderer.
MoGhee, was last Wednesday escorted
to Joliet and there lodged in the peniten
tiary by bherifl ilills, ol Lee county, to
scrye out his Bentenoe of fourteen years
imprisonment Tbe sheriff kept the time
of his departure as secretly as possible, as
some fears were entertained that tbe in
dignant people of Ashton would mob the
train and lynch the prisoner. Oq arriviog
at Joliet, McGhee entered his name on tbe
prison record as a Methodist minister of
18 years standing; thereby practicing a
fraud which could serve him no good pur
pose, and ia this' sustaining his previous
reputation of habitually lying when the
truth would have served his purpose
better, and of committing crime without
an apparently reasonably motive. When
shaven and arrayed in prison garb, he was
unrecognizable by the sheriff who accom
panied him there. There being no call for
undertakers and but an indifferent field for
his miuisterial labors, he was immediately
set to work at the harness business. If
on his bckt behavior during his residence
in Joliet, he will receive a reduction of one
mouths lime on his first year, two on his
second, aud so on in like ratio to the sixth,
after which each year will be reduced six
months. Thus he may in eight years and
three months, be again a free man, still in
the prime of life about 45 years of age,
and possibly a more than ever dangerous
member of society. The boys who were
1m companions in jail here suy that on
their release they can divulge things per
taining to his conduct while there that will
be astonishing.
The Dixon bun says:
Sheriff Hill informs cs that the appear
ance of Elder McGhee was very mueh
altered after the penitentiary authorities
cut those long, silky, black whiskers from
his chin, and the hair from his head.
Neither did the Zebra clothing in which
he wat dressed become the elder, or im
press the beholder that such was a suita
ble suit for a man accustomed to running
camp meetings and "sich."
That the jury did not do its duty ia the
McGhee case, is the all but universal com
plaint of the press. Ho was either inno
cent or guilty; if innocent, be should have
gone free; if guilty, h9 should be hanged,
or at leaat imprisoaed for life.
Republican Judicial Convention.
W. C. Bennett, chairman of the Repub
lican county committee, aot'iLg under the
pressure of party influence or perhaps "at
tho request of two or Ihree friends." has
called a county convention to be held at the
court house in this city, at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon of July 16th, to choose delegates

elect a third candidate for circuit judge.
The basis of representation will be one

Outside ot the more pronounced and
zealous radical Republicans there appears
to be a desire among the people of both
parties to call a convention without regard
to politics. If a mere party convention is
held it is probable that some person more
noted for his love of party than for his
qualifications for judgeship would be likely
to be selected for the position. We would
therefore suggest to all such people as
desire to have a judge elected without
regard to his political opinions to refuse to
have anything to do with the Republican
convention iust called bv Mr. Bennett.

Taxsa Paid on tbe P. & R. I. EL. R.
Yesterday afternoon. R. R. Cable, Esq.,
President of the Peoria & Rock Island
Railway, paid County Treasurer Porter
$7,543 35 being theamonut of delinquent
taxes of that road due this county for the
years 1873-4 -5, except the capital stock
tax of 1373 This amount also includes
the interest due for the years 1874-5-6.
Mr. Porter is the first officer, for the
counties through which the roads run, to
get his money from the road and the
promptness of Mr. Cable in settling with
him shows that he intends to manage the
road in a straight-forward and business
like manner.
The taxes due the other counties on the
line of the road will be paid in a few days.
