Mr.. Thomas had concluded his argu-
ment, a motion was made to allow DR..
Tolles to make a speech. This was
promptly nipped in the bud by several
gentlemen present. who understood
the object of the movement, and DIR.
Tolles was not allowed to speak. Ed.

that he could not break up the meet

present were determined, and meant
business, withdrew his thieves, and
the meeting from that time went on

THE Democrats Of the Ohio Legis-
lature, on the proposition to make
eight hours legal days work, voted
solidly against it. The eight hour
system was a prominent plank in
their platform, and as they have vic
lated that pledge to the laboring class
es, is it not fair to presume that they
will disregard all other interests of
that class. What do you think of it,
mechanics? Democracy is the same
in Indiana that it is in Ohio.

The Louisville Courier wants John
son to fight. Well, we do not know
that the Courier is freshly to blame
for this. 1t was in favor of secession
in 1860, and fought it out bravely on
that line.-Ldfayette Journal.
The Louisville Courier was in favor
of secession in 1860, but it didu't
fight it out brayely on that line. The
Courier was more noted for running
than fighting. 1t was always urging
somebody else to fight, and talked
loud and long about shedding the last
drop of blood and dying in the last
ditch, but, when it came to the test,
its discretion always supplanted its
courage, and there was another foot
race. OF course it wants JOHNSON to
fight. 1t would rejoice in seeing the
country plunged into another civil
war, if it was assured that its proprie-
tor could be kept out of harms way.

THE rallying cry of ANDY JOHN
SON, during the campaign of 1864,
that loyal men alone should recon
struct the South, and that traitors
should take back seats, - is at last
about to be realized in his impeach-
men5. It's consummation was, per-
haps, unwillingly effected upon his
part, but is none the less gratifying to
the friends of the Union.

If we have a few jokes, people say we

If we omit them, they say we are old

Here's Your Mule.
From tAo Atlanta CA Int.Iligaaeet.l

From the Atlanta CGa-) InteIlissneer.
A certain newly appointed solicitor gen
eral of the most freely lOi KNIT, but who
Is as ignorant Of law as he is destitute of
self respect was recently attending court at
"a town not Thousand Iailes from EIbeFtOn
He reached the town on the outside Of a
sixteen hand gray mule of remarkable shay
giness, high in bone and low in flesh, which
nc had purchased expressly to ride the
circuit
While he was attending court, and pris-
oners were escaping the penalties of their
crimes through the solicitors innocence as
to the mOde of drawing indictments and
ether legal forms of process, some Of his
friends, who knew how warmly he had ad-
Vocated the cause of the niger, and espec-
iallv the niggers right to forty acres of
land and a mule, carefully and closely
shaved the solicitors quadruped from the
tip of his nose to the end of his tail; then
improved his appearance by painting him a
beautiful sky blue, aud put the Finishing
touch to their work by making the mule dis
play in large white letters on one flank,
" Forty Acres Of Land" and on the other,
q" Here's Your Mule" The solicitor APP
proved the sentiment, but not the mode of
expressing it. and as it was impossible to re-
store the mule to its original shagginess and
natural color he was compelled to ride " the
mule in blue" or walk to his home. He
mounted and rode off amid the cheers and
shouts Of an admiring crowd. He made his
exit after sunset and poet named Hyper
ion Fatfellow, who happened to be present,
celebrated the solicitors departure in a
'pome, from which we quote the following
lines:
The shades Of night falling fast
As through Georgia village passed
