Lao ON the Turning or : Card.


A friend narrated to us day or two since an
anecdote or early times in West Tennessee which
we will attempt to repeat even at the risk of losing
the graphic simplicity of his conversational narra-
tive.
Some eighteen or twenty years since we'll
known resident of Upton county was put on his
trial. charged with the murder of his wife. As
usual, in such cases, popular feeling was largely
against him, and all the eloquence and ingenuity OF
his counsel were required to make any impression
in his favor upon jury, which. however impartial
it might desire to be In the consciousness OF sworn
duty, conld not but see the waves of popular pre-
judice surging in upon II.
The case was ably argued. The counsel for the
defense made most vigorous aud impassioned ap-
peals. The case was submitted to the jury, and
they retired to make up their verdict. Time passed,
and as the setting warned all Of the approach
ing night, the large throng in attendance, the
Judge, counsel, etc, retired, all anxious, the ac
cused not the least so to learn the verdict of the
jury, and some wondering that the jury hesitated
for one moment to bring in verdict of guilty.
In the meantime the jury bad come 70 point be-
yond which they could progress no further. The
appeals of the counsel of he defense had not been
without their influence, ano the jury stood nm
changeahe, six for conviction sud six for aeqnit
tai. Something had to be done. IN those days
twelve good fellows gould not be got together for
4 pight and sleep. Cards appeared mysteriously

game on which was staked human life.
Col. P. played to save the accused. His oppo.

conviction. The hackers, five and Ave. stood be-
hind them, encouraging the champions and watch
ing the game, dimly seen BY the light sftwo tallow
candles. with the most interest.
The game proceeded with very equal fortune,
till both parties stood at six and six. It was Col.
P.'s deal; he dealt, and turned Jack. The prison.
er was acquitted, and every member in the jury
joined in the shout, which startled the whole vii

The Natchez Courier of Wednesday has the fol-
lowing:
The spell that for nearly three months has seem
ed to brood over this city and It's vicinity, has at
last broken. About O'Clock a gust from tine
northwest passed over the city, enveloping every
thing for half an hour in clouds of dust. gentle
shower-the remnants of severe storm that ap-
parenty spent itself upon the opposite parish OF
sConcordia, and apparently crossed the river few
miles above NatcheZ-succeeded,b being just suffi.
cient to lay the dust, to wash off in part the dirty
roofs, and decidedly cool the atmosphere, which
before had been exceedingly sultry. From 90 de-
grees the thermometer fell in about an hour to 76,
giving our citizens the first really pleasant evening
as far as temperature was concerned, they have
had in some weeks.

says:

The Brandon Republican of Thursday says:
After drouth of six weeks we had a fine shower
of rain on Tuesday evening last, though not
enough to do the parched up corn much good.
Unless we have a good soaking rain within the
next week there will not be half a crop of corn
made in this region. The cotton crop is doing
very well so far, but needs more rain.
The oxford Mercury OF thursday has the follow
ing:
New apples have made their appearance. We
have seen none Of good quality yet. The crop of
both apples and peaches will undoubtedly be a
very large and fine one. We notice trees bending
already under their weight.
If the rust and the boil worm will only spare the
cotton the yield will be extraordinary-which will
bring plenty of money into the country, and its
couconlitants. The corn crop may be considered
safe; the recent rains were only necessary to
make it good.
The Paulding Clarion Of Wednesday last has the
following .-s.=
After most injurious drouth of about five weeks
duration we had, in this immediate neighborhood,
fine rain last Sunday evening. We regret to learn,
however that it was not general throughout the
county, and that there neighborhoods only a
few miles from us in which they are suffering ter
ribly from hot sun and dry weather. Sunday fore
noon the thermometer in this place stood in the
shade at 100.
But notwithstanding that some neighborhoods
suffering greatly, in most portions of the
try there have been good rains, and the crops are
promising. A good deal of corn was planted this
year, and the prospect is now that enough will be
made to supply the home demand without having
to import it, as formerly from the West, via Mobile
and New Orleans.

This country is suffering dreadfully from want of
protection. Yesterday the Indians killed five men
and took one boy prisoner, and have stolen great
quantities Of horses from both sides of the Rio

county. They took man named Juan Escoba
prisoner yesterday. He lived with these Indians
aboutten years, and only escaped from them about
three years ago. q He knew the Indians well, as
they belonged to the Indian village he lived in so

come from their encampment in New Mexico; that
a large party passed through Texas and intended

BLACK RBPvBIICAN TACrICs.-The votes re-
turned for Judge Dixon, in Wisconsin, show a
clear popular majority Of upwards Of two thou
sand over his black republican opponent, Judge
Sloan. But it appears that the Immaculate
leaders of the notification forces In that State
are determined that the expressed will of
majority of the people shall be thwarted. They
first threw ont large number of votes in
Grant county, which were cast for Luther B.
Dixon, instead of, as they should have been,
for Luther s. Dixon; but it has been ascertained
that they cannot find sufficient number con-
tanning this slight error to defeat Dixon, and
they have now hit upon q new plan, which is
to throw out the entire vote Of some Of the
counties which went largely for the democratic
candidate, on the ground that the returns are
dated on the 1lth instead Of the 10th Of April,
as the law requires; but it appears that the
canvassers in those counties had not sufficient
force to count the whole vote on the 10th, and
before their work was completed the succeed
ing day had dawned upon them. This, to all
honorable men, would appear to be very
mean advantage to be taken In order to defeat
the wishes Of the people; but we have lived
long enough to learn that politicians will re-
sort to almost anything, however mean aud
despicable, to gain the prestige Of success. Ia
this affair. however, they cannot close the eyes
of the public to the simple fact that the black
republicans were defeated in the recent cleo
tion In Wisconsin BY over two thousand of the
pnnuiar vote.
