ROAR's NOMINATION TABLED.
The United States Senate has
at last performed one meritorious
act. 1T has refused to confirm the
nomination OF Attorney General
Hoar when recommended By the
President for appointment to a
seat upon the Supreme Court
bench Mr.. Hoar has shown him
self a partisan in the strictest and
severest definition of the term. He
has abused in the most shameful
manner his official position, and
in every instance when called up
on by the President for his legal
opinion upon questions of sufr.
rage and of reconstruction, he has
given opinions that bore palpably
upon their, face the sign manual of
his partisan bias. He has given
the most extraordinary opinions.
He seems to conceive that his duty
is not to instruct the President as
to what is the law upon
questions referred to him,
but that it is his duty to
create, ind or define law in such a
manner, that any and all positions
of the President and dominant
party, shall be sustained. 1t is a
merited rebuke which he has re-
ceived. We only regret that the
members Of the Senate who op-
posed his nomination, should have
consented to the compromise by
which his nomination was tabled,
instead of being rejected. 1t
is a rebuke not alone to Mr.. Hoar,
but to the President. Besides his
nomination was gross injustice to
the South. He was nominated 10

HE'LL To RE ENLARGED.

The Corinth Republican in 4
sensational story represents
that in Hamburg, Tenn. a few
days since, a negro named Ann
died, was placed in \ coffin, the
coffin in grave, and when the
earth was about being shovc!ed
in the attendants were arrested In
their labor by a most unear;hly
groan which came from the grave.
The most courageous amoug't them
Immediately set about lifting up
and,opening the coffin, when It was
discovered that the dead negro
was neither dead nor a negro.
She was alive and white. She
represented that after dying she
went to Hell, which she describes
as being exceedingly crowded,
and, while waiting for some one
10 show her to her quarters, she
war aCcosted by a frightful look
ing object having horns on his
head and a forked tail, who told
her that she must return to the
earth, that there was no room for
her, but that as soon as the place
could be enlarged he would call
for her. This announcement, she
says, so frightened her that she
turned perfectly white, and was so
when taken from the coffin.
