Tn Cell with Mailman A Blgamist Near.
Nv Dour For.

William Brown, who Is In our county
Jail on charge Of aiding and abctting John
Baxter in the murderous assault on Denis
Flavin, Is placed in cell with a man
named Stephens, who Is awaiting his trial
on charge of being the unlawful possess
or of three wives.
Last evening, between and O'clock
Sheriff Grace, who was sitting i'm his office
writing, heard shouting and cries of muir
der, but could not Immediately determine
the locality. The cries evidently were in
the Immediately vicinity, and he supposed
ii was some parties who had got drunk
and were quarreling over the. election
Acting on this idea he proceeded to the
front door and found all there as quiet as
a meeting house. Recollecting that the
Deputy Sheriff had just gone out for few
moments, he concluded that the noise,
whatever it was, must be in the Jail. Quick
ly unlocking the doors he found that the
cries proceeded from the cell in which
Brown and Stephens were confined.
On opening the door of the cell the place
presented shocking appearance : both
prisoners We're covered with blood, and
every article in the room was smashed to
pieces.
AS soon as Stephens could speak--for he
was terribly Frightened as well as much
bruised and cut-he said that Brown, who
has been laboring under delirium since his
imprisonment, got furiously mad and COM
menced an indiscriminate onslaught on
him and all the furniture in the cell, and
would have undoubtedly killed him if it
had not been for the opportune arrival of
Mr.. Grace.
Brown also seriously injured himself by
dashing his head against the walls. He
was placed in irons and his injuries attend
ed to. Stephens proved to have been more
frightened than hurt. He received some
bruises and scratches but no serious injury,

PROTECTION TO ANIsiALs.-The Massa-
chusetts PtoughmdR calls attention to a
meeting soon TO be held i'm Boston TO de-
wise some means for the protection of dumb
animals from negligence or abuse in the
State of Massachusetts.
Nothing could be more timely; and IL is
a wonder that state SO renowned for its
devotion TO some phases OF human rights
has been indifferent so long TO animal
rights.
That there is widespread need all over
the country for the most stringent laws to
protect brutes from cruelty, especially
horses from the blows of drunken drivers,
Is fact most painfully evident.
We were recently the unwilling witness
of a half-hour's whipping received by two
team-horses, because they could not start a
loaded wagon out of ditch where 1t had
been guided by the senseless hand of the
half-drunken holder of the reins.
Such a man as that ought to be impris-
oned for six months, and the scoundrel that
sold him the rum at least four times as
long.

The readers of the Cincinnati Enquirer
have been RECALLED with new instance Of
the Presidents Ignorance, bad taste, ("
and dad manners." "Mack" writes a
long letter full Of indignant superlatives,
to the effect that party of gentlemen and
ladies of high character, including " Ex-
Governor Winthrop, of Massachusetts, and
lady," were forced to listen after dinner at
the White House TO reading of vulgar
jokes from 1.-THE political doggerel of
Hosea Bigelow, "-something "worse, If
possible, than Nasty" grossly villifying
the administration of President johnson. "
The writer further states that the Presi-
dent listened intently and laughed i'm
moderately" and that his venerable guests
listened in 1.-THE silence of suppressed dis
gust, and.consider themselves "insulted. %
When we consider that Ex-Governor Win
throp has been dead abobt two centuries,
and that Hosea Bigelow," the first hui
morist of his time, has not written line
since President johnson came into power,
il may be suspected that this energetic
writer does not know what he is talking
about, and that the allusion to ignorance
comes particularly well from him. 1t will
make very little difference TO the readers
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, but the New
York World, which copies the story, has
some patrons who know better.-Boston

Freedmen's Savings.

Ever since the colored people of the
South obtained their freedom, their enemies
have persisted in declaring that they were
shiftless, improvident and unable to take
care of themselves. The logic of events,
however, is fast disproving this assertion,
and showing that the freedmen can not
only earn their own living, but accumulate
property, and have the disposition to do
both. On the Sd of March, 1866, Abraham
Lincoln signed the charter of the National
Freedmen's Savings and Trust Company
of Washington, designed to afford freed
men the means of investing their savings,
and to encourage them in habits of pru-
dence. Since that date no less than TWEEN
ty-seven branches of the institution have
been opened at as many different places Mt
the South, and there is constant demand
for their extension to other places, so that
the work is really but just begun. The
success of this institution has been very
great, and proves that the negro can be
economical and saving as well as the white
man. At the end of the first year, on
March /, 1866, the deposits held by the
company and its branches amounted to
S199 1888; the second year, 1886, 1888; third
year, S63S ,299; fourth year, 81 ,073, 405; fifth
year, ending March l, 1870, 81 ,657 ,006. The
average increase of one year upon another
was 73 per cent. The above figures show
only the sums on hand at the close of each
year. The total amount of deposits each
year was vastly greater, but the sums with
drawn We're also very large. The total de-
posits for the first year Were 1906, 1877;
second, 81 1924, 1853; third, So, So, 1873; fourth,
81, 257, 70s; fifth, S12,605, 7Sl. The money
withdrawn was probably largely devoted
to the purchase of homesteads by the freed
men. The amount paid to them as interest
during the five years was SIS, 94S. This is
certainly good showing for people who
began life for themselves five years ago,
without cent in their pockets, and in a
country whose wealth had been eaten up
by long and disastrous war. The COM
pany is doing good work in taking care
of their savings

GOING HOME WITH THE GIRLs.-The
entrance into society may be said to take
place Immediately after boyhood has passed
away; yet multitude take their initiative
before their boards are presentable. 1t is q
great trial either for a tender or a ripper age.
For an overgrown boy to go to a door,
knowing well that there are dozen girls
inside, and knock or ring, with an absolute
certainty that in a few moments all eyes
will be upon him, is severe test of courage.
To go before these girls and make the tour
of the room without stepping on their toes,
and sit down and dispose of his hands with
out putting them in his pockets, is an
achievement which few boys can boast. If
a boy can go so far az to measure off ten
yards of tape with one of the girls, and cut
1t off at each end, he may stand a chance to
pass pleasant evening. Let him not fat
ter himself that the trials of the evening
are over. Then comes the breaking up
The dear girls don their hoods and put on
their shawls, and look so saucy and mis-
chievous, so unimpressible and independ-
ent, as If they did not wish anybody to go
home with them. Then comes the pinch,
and the boy who has the most pluck goes
up to the prettiest girl in the room, with
his tongue clinging to the roof Of his mouth,
and crooking out his elbow, stammers out
the words, "Shall / see you homer" She
touches her finger on his arm, and they
walk home, feeling as awkward as two Cos
lings.-NetO York Times.

s.UNMsTIGATED OUTRAGEs.,

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: A
friend of ours, who was member of the
last House of Representatives in this
State, was lately at Logansport, Ind,
and while there was an involuntary list
ener to very entertaining conversation
Ion politics between Senator Pratt, who
resides there, and young lawyerof that
place. The latter confessed . he knew
little about politics, but complimented
Pratt by declaring that he was the ablest
lawyer in the State. He then said:
''NIr. Pratt, l want to ask you a question,
which hope you Will answer frankly asa
lawyer. Do you, Mr.. Pratt, as law,
yer, think the Georgia bill, and several
other bills of q so-called reconstruction
character, are in accordance with the
Constitution of the United States?" Mr..
Pratt answered, frankly "NO, sir, they
are unmitigated- outrages on the Constitu-
ton and the people upon whom they are
infifcted?" These views are held by all
Republicans who have any legal discrim-
nation but, nevertheless, from party
bigotry and fanaticism, they continue to
support them Mr.. Pratt himself either
votes for them, or sits Idly by and allows
them to pass without his rebuke.

This august body met yesterday; august
in appearance, august IN character, august
in dignity, august in Wisdom, =aagust IN
the duties which it has to perform; The
presiding officer, Gen John C Brown, of
Giles, is a gentleman distinguished as a
soldier and distinguished as a civilian.
Although never before member of a
parliamentary assemblage, we are eonfi7
dent that Ire viii soon qualify himself for
prompt and efficient discharge Of
lis duties. The subordinate officers
are well chosen and will doubt
less give entirg satisfaction to the
members of the Convention. We are con
WINGED from the demeanor of the dele
gates, and what we can gather of their
individual views, that their deliberations
win be marked by wisdom, justice and
moderation. From the proceedings of
yesterday We see but one danger to appre5
bend, and that is that the line of den1ar-
cation may not be drawn with sufficient
distinctness in the minds of some OF, the
members between the duties of a conYen-
ton and those of Legislature. While we
by no means concur with Judge Jameson IN
many of the conclusions to which he
comes in his work on Constitutional Con
ventiens, yet we do agree with him, that
Constitutional Convention is zone OF
the most important and most character
isdc of the political institutions of the
United States"
The Legislature IS subordinate. 1t
simply enacts the ordinary statute law
under and by virtue of .he Constitution.
The Legislature frames laws for the gov
ernance of the individuals composing the
State. The Constitution is a system of
general rules orlaws for the direction, and
observance not only of the Legislature,
but of the other departments of govern
ment. These distinctions must necessa,
rily be borne in mind to prevent prolixity,
and to give dignity and pennanence tc

yFzE IMPEACHMENT TREl,,

We learn from Washington dispatch
to the New York World that the recent
publication resectiDg upon the motives of
the Republican Senators who voted against
impeachment and asserting that money
was uscd to procure acquittal, has aroused
a feeliu5 of indignation on the part of
those who thus voted These would be
glad 10 see a full revelation made Of all
the secret history of the impeachment
trial. II is said that such a disclosure
would disgust and starile The country far
more even than the known acts of the
impe-ohers at the time It may lie safely
predicted that if M Sumner and his as
socates shall ask for committee Of in
vestigatiOn, with the examination to be
conducted publicly the proposition will
be supported on the Democratic side and
by those Republicans who voted for &C
quittal; but no such proposition Is ex-
pocted from Mr. Sumner, or from Gen.
Butler, the latter of whom is said TO have
presented budget of garbled testimony
to Congress on this subject. The boot,
in case of an investigation, might be
found on the legs Of some Of the i'm
peachers themselves.

THE LAST RADICAL MOVE.

We print elsewhere to-day the remark
able memorial of Horace Maynard and
his co-memorialists TO Congress, praying
that body to upset the State government
in Tennessee. This modest prayer is
based upon the assumption that the
August election was carried by fraud /;
that men ineligible were allowed to vote ;
that youths under twenty-one years Of
age voted; that false and FRAUDULENT votes
were counted; and ''that the illegal votes
so cast were of such great numbers as to
be in excess of the majority lg which
said election was determined IN q majority
of the counties, so that by said illegal
votes the persons and character of the
majority of members of the General AS
sembly we're determined" This last
specification, which is the seventh, con-
tains the grayamen of the bill of indict-
ment against this State. Fortunately We
are not without the proof TO show that
this charge is utterly groundless. We
have procured from the Office of the Secre-
tary of State q transcript of the returns of
the number of votes registered by the
registrars of seventy counties in the State
under the BrownlOg regime, The regis
trars of the remaining fourteen counties
having made no return. These returns
embrace all the voters registered up TO
March /, 1863, and compare with the vote
for Governor in August last as follows
