bers will proceed with business with
out fear or favor; daring to make such
changes in the law as are necessary,
and leaving on the statute book what
the public good requires. a step to-
wards Acknowledgement is indispensa-
bIe and should be prompt. We hope
the Senatorial election will not con-

AuOus offices will be abolished, and
fees and salaries so altered and regula-
ted so that it shall be impossible for
officers to steal, in a legal and honest

system of taxation will be wholly
changed and equalised, and, if posi-,

that the enormous penalties put On

THE following shocking accident
occurred last week about forty miles
south Of Pittsburg, by which a young
lady, the wife of a Mr.. DERANGO

1t appears that Mrs. Wilgus had occa-

near the tumbling shaft, which connects
the horsepower and the cylinder, accident
ally stepped backward, and her clothes
am in contact with the shaft, and they

ing her almost instant death. She was
carried around the shaft at a frightfHl
speed, portions OF her body striking the
ground with each revolution, literally

stopped, but the shaft, as is well known
to farmers, continued its revolutions for
nearly a minute a~fterward, and when 1t
was finally stopped, the life of the unfor-
tunate lady vas found to be nearly ex-

To Mr.. ETHERIDGE's speech al
Nashville, which appears in our col
umns to-day, we e no special reason
to take exception. 1t is fair to infer
from it that he will be governed in
his legislative action by what may be
for the good of Tennessee, rather than
by any whims of fancy as TO the suf
frage, to which some of his professed
friends have made an effort to pledge
him. When circumstances cannot be
made to suit the law, the law must be
changed to suit them; for there must
be but one old fogy" rule in legisla-
ton, and that is the attainment of the
greatest good consistent with justice to
all. The late tinkering with the Con-
stitution has been all mischievOus
botch work. What is to be zen now,
is whether we are to have more patch
ing, or steps taken in a statesmanlike
manner to adapt the law to the
changed condition of things, and that
in conformity TO vital principles which
must live forever. When Mr.. ETH
FRIDGE tells US that past issues have
become obsolete, he is right in adj
wishing to leave them as "by-gOnes."
But in saying that "Old fogy ideas are
dead" he would do well to define
what he means by old fogy ideas, in
asmuch as he has a like interest with
a majority of his f~ell0w-citizens in pre-
serving that respect which has hith-
erto been entertained for the opinions
of sires, some think equal to their
sons. Whether mind has much adj
vanced from SoLOMoN's time to ETH
RRIDGE's may be doubted, as well as
whether Young America, born of the

shoulders" is wiser than other Peg
