T’ e Mills Bill has passed the
House by a majority of 13 votes.
The carpet-bag negro is now seen
in Indiana and Ohio. He is trying
to stuff tlie negro vote for Harrison
in November.
The editors of the Carnesville
Register speak of receiving some
fine apples from a tree over sixty
two years old.
Gen. Sheridan is dead. Thus an
army's leader is laid to rest. Peace
go with his soul to a haven of rest
in 11n realms above!
The Gainesville Eagle and Jack

The 6th inst., Alabama’s state
election came off. The democrats
carried the state by 100.Q00 majori
ty. The city of Montgomery g ive
a hi democratic vote.
A few days go an engine ex
ploded in Franklin county, near
y ow’s store, killing a young man
named Smith, and scalding a ne
gro. The negro is not expected to
live.
The She (field (Ala.) Land, Iron
<fe Coal Company, have sold out
for $2,000,000. The purchasers
are Northern men. Who says North
ern capital is not beginning to
come South?
Few people have the least idea
how hard it is to publish a newspa
per, During the excessive heat
and dull times, is the very time
people expect a newspaper to be
bright and newsy,
Sen. Thuim in does not need a
platform. Ilis record is sufficient,
ho says some of the exchanges.
This may be true, but Mr. Thur
man stands on the democratic plat
form immovable.
The Warren County Clipper
says, that county was a Whig coun
ty before the war; that there is a
number of old men in the county
who voted the Harrison ticket in
1840. It is said wise men change,
but fools never. It is to be hoped
they are with the former.

Hugh Maxwell,
! who ki 1 C'K\ 6 yWl us in St. Louis,
several r ago] and put his body
in a.trunk, was to hang this month,
but through the influence of his
father with Lord Salisbury, be will
get a respite on the grounds that
both he and Cluverius were for
eigners.
Nashville papers say that city is
over run with the professional bum
and dead-beat. They are known
from i heir dress —a red bandana
adorns the neck, while a red-flan
nel shirt of six weeks wear, looks
through Iwo half moons in the seat
of their pantaloons, worn from the
effects of a dry-goods box in the
shade of some alley of a beer saloon
and free lunch house.
Ike Vincent, Alabama’s default
ing treasurer of $22,000, of 4 years
ago, and, wdio has since been con
fined in the state’s prison to serve
a sentence of fifteen years, has be
come morose and dissatisfied, A
few days ago he sent for one of the
state inspectators, and told him he
was going to make a full confes
sion, and tell all the names con
nected with the steal. This will,
no doubt, connect prominent men,
whom the people little expect.

He hopes to get the republican vote,
and all the so called democrats who
will be dissatisfied with the nomime
of the Gainesville Convention. Mr.
Pickett will no doult get a good vote,
bi t if ibe organized democrats will on.

The 3AI inst., at the voting pre
cinct in the 10th district of Clai
borne county, Tenn., Burnside
Yoakrm shot and killed James
Smith, the independent republican
candidate for coun’y trustee
Smith and Yoakum's brother were
engaged in a hot discussion over
the election, when Yoakum walk
ed up and shot Smith through
the temple, killing him instantly.
Yoakum escaped. All the parties
to the dispite are republicans.
A great many of the papers if
the state are scorng Jo Brown and
his betterments. If the state owes
Mr. Brown she should pay him. If
t e road ha l not been leased to
Sen. Brown twenty years ago, per
haps some oil er state would now
be its owner. If Mr. Brown has
made money out of the road, it. is
more than tlie state was doing
when the road was lea od. His
large speculative brain, indomit
able energy, and unflinching cour
age, made the money. Mr. Brown
deserves credit.

In the meantime, however, the mo
nopolies and tiusts which are made
pof-s ble by the high protective tariff
fix the prices which the farmers pay for
their farming implements and maoh : n
ery, and their clothes, blankets and
other necessaries of life. The farmers
have to take what they can get for
what they produce, and pay the prices
which the monopolies and trnsts fix for
what they need. The home market is
a delusion so far as they are
cd. It is a one-sided affair, all the
benefits of it being on the side of those
who are the beneficiaries of the protec
tive system.
