The following is told by the Hickman

A chap named Jonathan Mullins was
arraigned at the last term Of the Graves

arguments concluded. the jury retired to
their room to consult on the verdict
Some difficulty was experienced by the
Jury in arriving at d conclusion, and for a
long time it was supposed 1.-The jury were

The call was made. Dead silence

POLITICAL OPPOSITION.-The Baltimore
american says: The quiet citizen who
has his own business to attend TO. & who
does not apprchcnd that the country will
be ruined Immediately. would be surprised
to observe the virulence ana the bitterness
with which General Taylor's administra-
ton is attacked by adversarics who do not
seem capable of viewing anything except
through the medium Of party preiudices.
MIR. Jefferson had a similar opposition TO
encounter. The very first acts Of the
administration he says in a letter to Gid
con Granger in 1901. the nominations,
have accordingly furnished something to
ycIp on. and all our subsequent acts will
furnish them fresh matter because there is
nothing against which human ingenuity
will not be able to find something to say.
There is nothing. indeed, against which
human ingenuity will not be able to find
something TO say: and it would be very
weak for an Administration to expect or
to endeavor TO please every one. 1t has
It's duties to the country to perform. and it
will be Judged by It's own standard OF
honesty. capacity and fidelity. The spir-
i, OF lis acts, the scope and character OF
its policy. lis tone and demeanor, will give
shape and force to the impression it is to
leave finally upon the public mind. as they
will fix the place ii IS TO occupy in history.
But the attacks Of the violent, the com
plants of the querulous, the demands OF
the asonable-these may be left to
perish by the force of their own reaction.
