THE SrGNIFIcANcEo or JEFFERSON DAVIS
TRIAL-The approaching trial Of Mr.. JET
FERsON DAVIS will test the validity Of State
rights in a manner worthy Of the immense
importance Of the principle. A great de-
PENDANT and great cause viii compel great
verdict. The Southern theory, and 1t
used to be the Northern theory until the
European element became predominant in
the Puritanic aud desPotic section Of the
Union, is that the first allegiance Of a citizen
is due to his own State. When the State Of
Mississippi seeded from the Union by the
legitimate action Of its Legislature, Mr..
DAVIS would have been a traitor to Missis-
sippi if he had refused his adhesion. Upon
that issue his trial viii depend It will be
a great cause in America and throughout the
world but greatest in America, because the
verdict will help to determine the question
that lies at the root Of American liberty. If
the first allegiance is due to the Federal
power la eases not external 10 the Union,
American Democracy is as dead as Ameri-
can slavery, and the future dictator has but
% sharpen his sword and bide his time, for
his inevitable triumph.-BiOctaoOofs Maga-

DR.. L. L. COLEMAN

AMONGST the many complimentary no
tees given us by the press of this city, we
know of none which we deem as coming
with so much heartfelt sincerity, as the fol-
owing from the Nashville Daily Union
AT period like the present, when our city is
filled to overlooking with transient popua-
ton, and diseases prevail to an extent hitherto
undreamt OF, it is proper that the means Of cure
should be Of ready access, and that those imme-
diatey interested should have information which
will lead them to avail themselves of competent
medical advice. Men who have been educated in
the best schools Of the profession of medicine and
been successful in practice of many years. are
surely worthy of confidence; if they have given
their attention exclusively to one branch Of the
profession. and made themselves masters of it.
they have still more right te expect support more
particularly if they have afforded proof of their
ability to cure. To this latter class belongs DR.
L; i. COLEMAN, who. in his speciality, has been
benefactOr to the afflicted, and may ever be re-
lied on as a safe and sure physician"
We respectfully inform our friends that
we may still be found at our office, reliev-

Terrible Murder.

A most iendish murder was oommited
in Germantown, Philadelphia, Saturday
morning exceeding in atrocity any which
have preceded it Tor long time. The
victim was women of such advanced
age as to be incapable Of making resistance
one who had lived to the allotted period
of threesooro and ten and whose gray
hairs and feebleness ought to. have saved
her from violence Of any kind, She was
a maiden lady named Mary Watt who
occupied a-two.and. d.a-half-stored stone
cottage with roughcast front on the low
er side of Queen Street between German
town avenue and Green street. There she
had lived in quiet and repose for many
yeas, and there hoped to die, as in the
course of nature she soon would have
done. But litto was known of her cir
cumstauces though she was believed to be
well off and as is often the case, stories
we're in circulation to the effect that she
had specie about the house. AT one timo
Miss Watt had living with her widowed
sister, and after her death she for several
years lived alone. Robbers, however
getting at one time into the house she be.
came frightened aud made arrangements
to have a sleeping companion and for
year or two she has had as such Miss
Elizabeth Lippincot, also of advanced
age. This lady did no more than sleep at
the house, leaving it early every morn
ing.
Yesterday she left is at very early
bour-- about hall past six o'clock aud at
seven o'clock Miss Watt was discovered
to have been murdered. Th ere can be
little doubt but that the murder was COM
nitted by Que who had full Knowledge
ofthc mode Of life of Miss Wait, aud who
had waited a short distance from the house
for the departure Of Miss Lippincott.
The murder was discovered through the
son Of Mr.. Smith Hughes, whose place of
business is short distance off. The boy
went to the cottage on an errsnd and not
being able TO get in by the usual way, he
returned to his residence aud communica-
ted the fact to his mother. She went
to the cottage aud finding the door lock-
ed looked through the window aud seeing
Miss Walt Is ing on the floor supposed her
to be sick. Mr Hughes was then sum
moned and he entered by the back door
which was ajar. AS soon as be reached the
PROSTATE form of Miss Wait he was hori-
fed TO discover that she ha been murder
cd. Her throat was cut from ear 10 ear
and there was bruise over the right eye,
evidently caused by blow that must have
stunned her
The policed at once commenced thor
ough search Of the premises but no trace
of the mnrderers could be found.
Mayor MeMichael has offered a reward
of five hundred dollars for the arrest and
conviction Of the murder he highest amount
he is permitted 10 offer under the ordn.
anre giving him that authority. No doubt
the citizans oil Germantown will increase
the reward.
