From the Lebanon AaUertiser of Yesterday.
we extract:
THE ELECTIoN.-The total vote in VIII
son county stands, for Clarke, (Conserya-
tiye) 49l, for Robertson (Radical,) 1917.
leaving Clarke majority Of 294. DeKaIb
county gives Robertson a majority Of 268.
1t viii be seen from this that Clarke is
elected on the whole vote, by the small ma
jority Of 81. ...---
The late election has settled two points:
LIST. That the Radical vote in this county
does not greatly exceed two hundred, for
every Radical vote in the whole county was
polled. I'd. That Clarke could have been
elected by several hundred majority had the
whole number Of registered Conservative
votes been pOlled.
The small majority by which Mr.. Clarke
is elected should be a warning to our voters,
and hereafter not single Conservative vote
should be lost,
We learn that the Sheriff of DeKalb coun.
ty refused to meet the Sheriff OF our county,
as the law directs, at Alexandria, and that
he has given Robertson the certificate Of
election. However, as the Radicals live on
corruption, we are not surprised.
AIR LINE TO NAsHvILLE.-We learn
from good authority, that the-road between
Nashville and Lebanon can be built on a
route on which the grade will not amount to
more than twelve feet to the mile, over the
worst portions of it. The line will also be
shorter by several miles than any other
route. We call the attention of the survey
ing party to it, and will take pleasure, If
called on, to give them the facts.
SNAIL Pox.-During the past week there
have been three deaths from small pox in
bur town. Mr.. w. s. Falkner, proprietor
Of the Lebanon Hotel, died on Yesterday
morning. after an illness Of about one week.
ANOTHER JAN DELIYERY-FIyE Pas
DINERS EscAPED.-On Tuesday night last,
between midnight and day, party Of Eve
II six persons, headed by man called by
hem Jack Hays, all Of whom are supposed
% be from Kentucky, effected by their help
he escape Of Eve Of the prisoners from our
all. 1t seems, from what we can learn Of
he particularly that two Of the prisoners
confined in the jail charged with grand lar
'eny, were members Of a clan Of horse
hieves and land pirates, whose beadquar-
ers are somewhere in Kentucky. The
members Of the clan outside, hearing of the
of their comrades, determined
o effect their rescue. Having arrived at
his determination, they procured the neces-
airy implements to break through the walls
4 the Jail, and, on Tuesday night, at the
ime stated above, they repaired to the build
ng and went to work. The prisoners were
lso supplied with tools, and selecting spot
Thich had formerly been opened, they were
My short time in making an aperture
lrge enough to crawl through. ..
Two prisoners conf1ed in the Jail refused
D take advantage Of the opportunity to es-
ape; and we learn that it was only through
heir entreaties that the outside party we're
reyented from killing the jailor, Mr.. John
Hem, and taking the keys Of the Jail in
he first instance.
