sabbath schools

1t is noticeable and encouraging lea
iure in Ssbbath-school exercises that large
audiences of parents, children and friends
meet in nearly all our churches every
Sabbath evening to engage in singing,
speaking and discussing all those measures
that lend to promote the cause. Only a
few years ago this plan was adopted and it
has proved a decided success, augurng
much good in the future. Last Sabbath
eve our young and talented friend, ID. II.
Rains, made handsome and impressive
address before the McKendree Sabbath
school society He did himself much
credit, evincing deep thought, and vital
interest in the cause, and we predict for
him succsss in his new field Of labor. The
school is very prosperous AMI still alding
to its numbers. ....-fF H.
We had the pleasure, last Sunday even
ing, of hearing W. |. Arlington make a
good, sensible and very interesting speech
10 the Mcterrin Chapel Sabbath School
Society, which was listened to with mneh
interest, and will do good in the good
cause. The old and young seemed much
pleased; and the school will no doubt re-
double their already Jealous efforts. We
notice with much pleasure the evidences Of
improvement in many respects in this
beautiful villa, Lower Edge6eld, especial
Iy in schools and church facilities. May
lhey all work, and work together in
earnest.

A FORCED TONGUE

The Wig places the name Of Gov.
Senter at the head of its columns and
pretends to favor his nomination. 1t
proceeds to claim it on the ground that
East Tennessee is entitled to the Cow
ernor; knowing full we'll that that is the
surest way to defeat the object 1t pre-
tends to favor. Pearne knows, more
over, that the Omnibus Railroad Bill
has become exceedingly unpopular in
the State, yet he seeks to identify Sen
ter with that measure, or other meas
ures Of like character, and to base his
advocacy Of the nomination on that
ground. He knows that his reasons will
attract attention in Middle and West
Tennessee, and his calculation evidently
is that upon this issue Senter will have
no chance whatever in the convention.
Besides, he gives special prominence to
the idea that he will most cordially sup
port Stokes if he is nominated, hoping
thus to prepare the minds Of Senter and
his friends to swallow the Stokes ticket
without any show of resistance.
We are aware that there has been a
certain private pressure upon Pearne. for
some time, to hoist the name of Senter.
He has, at last, with an eye to business,
probably, been compelled to yield, but
in doing SO he has endeavOred to make
sure that while looking toward Senter he
will certainly be rowing toward Stokes

ATROCIOUs OUTRAGE
The Militia Shoot u citizen OI
ads I'D Humboldt.
The Attempted Murder OF Capt.
Richardson.
He Is Seriously But Not DAN
. sai gerOusly Wounded. ~

1t will be remembered by our
readers that we detailed some weeks
ago the particulars of an outrage
perpetrated at Humboldt, by Cling
mans militia, on Capt. Richardson.
The Captain, who is one Of the most
perfect gentlemen, beloved and
highly respected in Humboldt, in aft
of pleasantly, corrected the gam
mar of Maj. Clingman and altered
the phraseology of a published gen
eral orders of his, so as to make
them read rightly. This enraged
Clingman terribly, and being afraid
to demand personal satisfaction, the
Hero of Forked Deer caused the
defenseless citizen to be arrested
by the militia under his command
and tried by a court-martial on
charges of "mutilating general or
ders." OF course Richardson was
convicted, and sentenced to be tied
up by the thumbs for six hours.
We detailed how this gallant and
honorable gentlemen was punished
by the cut-thrOat thieves-how he
was strung up to lamp post and
guarded by relays of State guards,
and the blood of every decent man
in West Tennessee boiled at the re-
cital. 81 Hfil Be-
Having no other recourse, private
vengeance would only have cost
him his life in an inglorious strug-
gle, Capt. Richardson wisely deter
mined to make the law his instru-
ment of revenge and justice at the
same time. AS soon as possible he
entered suit against Clingman for
damages, physically and mentally,
that he had sustained by the i'm
prisonment and torture, and to
make sure of the result, Capt Rich
ardson, finding out that Clingma an
had two farms in East Tennessee,
attached them to answer the costs
of the suit.
This alarmed Clingman very
much, and of late ne has been try
ing in every possible manner to in
duce the attorneys of Capt. Rich
ardson to withdraw thesuit. Find
ing this impossible, the deep dyed
villain has resorted to the usual ex-
pedient of such scoundrels-assas-
sination-but we are glad to beable
to say unsuccessfully.
On Thursday night, or rather
yesterday morning, as Capt. Rich
ardson was going home from the
train, he was waylaid and shot atby
two militiamen, members of Cling
mans command. One Of the balls
missed him, but we are sorry to say
the other struck him in the thigh,
making a terrible but not a mortal
flesh wound-that is to say not
mortal unless more unfavorable
symptoms set in than had developed
themselves yesterday up to the time
when the train had passed down.
There is no possible doubt, we
are informed, that this deed was
done at the instigation, if not under
the very orders of Clingman. If
such is the case the citizens of
Humboldt would not only be justi-
fable in hanging the scoundrel, but
they would be derelict if they did
not do so.-Memphis Appeal, April
