Mrs. Fairs Doom.

The higher courts of San Francisco have
finally, and it is beloved unalterably, re-
fused the application for a new trial of
Mrs. Fair, and there seems to be no further
resource upon which stay of the dread
sentence can be based. In all human
probability she will have to meet her fate
on the gallows just as though she were q
man. a severe and awful penalty, but
nevertheless Just.

charge, and are of opinion it should have been
disallowed.
And we might go on and call the attention of
the General Assembly 20 other portions of the
accounts of Jones' Purvis & Co, but we do not
feel authorized so to do, when we consider the
ruling of the Committee and the action of the
General Assembly in declining to grant this
general authority. We call the attention OF the
General Assembly, however, TO the fact that we
have examined but small portion, of the nc
counts of Jones, Purvis IL Co., and the minority
deplore the action of the General Assembly in
refusing to authorize the Committee to investi-
gate all of the said accounts. 1t IS true some
members of the Committee thought the Com
mittee had power to investigate all of said ac-
counts but the ruling of the Committee was to
the contrary. Hence the introduction of the
Senate Joint Resolution to extend the powers of
the Committee.
The undersigned would further state,that Col.
John Baxter, the author of the charges investi-
gated, promptly responded to the summons of
the committee in furnishing proof and eXamin-
ing witnesses, until called away by imperative
business demands at Knoxville And in regard
to the premature publication of portion of the
testimony in the Knoxville CHRONICLE, the un-
designed are of opinion that no censure IS
justly attachable to Col. Baxter or the CHRoNI-
Gle Therefore the sessions of the committee be-
ing open, and strangers present part of the time,
and no rule of secresy enforced or communica-
ted to Col. Baxter
In conclusion, the minority present the fol-
lowing recapitulation of their findings
1st They find Jones, Purvs 6 Co. paid $500
to Sam. p. Wins, of the Athens Post, and $500
to Heating, of the Memphis appeal, to secure
their election as Public Printers.

predecessors. Whether there are fraud and
corruption in this long continued system of
overcharging makes but little difference to the
Taxpayers Of Tennessee as long as q single over

Hard Times and What Causes Them.

We are fast becoming nation Of
schcmers to live without genuine work.
Our boys arc not learning trades our
farmer. sons are crowding into cities,
looking for clerhships and Post Offices !;
hardly one American girl in each hun
dred will do housework for WAGES, how.
ever urgent her need SO we are sending
to Europe for worklnen and buying of
her artisans millions worth OF products
that We ought to make for ourselves.
Though orr crop OF rascals is heavy we
do not grow our own hemp though we
are ovcrrun with lads who deserve flag.
COLLATION., we import our willows. Our
women (unless deceived) shine in Euro
pean fabrics our men dress in foreign
clothes the toys which amuse our
younger children have generally reached
us over the sea. We are like the farmer
who hires his neighbours son to chop
his wood, feed his stock, and run his er-
rands, while his own boys lounge at the
grog-shop, playing billiards, and then
wonders why, in spite of his best efforts,
Le sinks annually deeper and deeper In
to debt, till the Sheriff cleans him out,
and he starts West to begin again.
We must turn over new leaf. Our
boys and girls must be taught to love
laber by qualifying themselves to do it
efficiently. We must turn out fewer
professionals and more skilled artisans,
as well as food-growers. We must grow
and fabricate two hundred millions
worth per annum, that We now import,
and SO reduce the foreign debt that We
have so long and SO successfully aug
mcnted year by year. We must qualify
our clever boys to erect and run factories,
furnaces, rolling-milIs, tanneries, ma
chine shops, etc. to open and work
mines, improve and fashion implements,
and double the present product OF their
fathers farm. So shall we stem the tide
of debt that sets steadily against our
shores, and cease to be visited and an
noyed by hard times. --Erchange.

Doctrines About Marriages.

Rev. Mr.. Conkling Of New York do
livered discourse on marriage, in which
he said Marriage is honorable to all.
God sanctioned the holy rite of mar.
riage in tho very beginning. Ere sin
to be wife unto Adam. 1t has always
been the strength Of country aud n
great and necessary preventive against
sin. And when the laws which regulate
marriage, which loosen its ties which
grant divorces for mere trivial things,
which delay Gods commandments nnc
shock the common sense Of mankind
when these laws, say, are altered,
modified and overthrow, SO soon does
that nation SO doing commence the
downward path to utter ruin. Let but
the theories Of Robert Dale Owen, Of the
community and the like prevail, and
government should put down the Utah
polygamists. Talk about its being
founded on "religiop," and thus shield
ell from assault why, some thieves
might as well club together and declare
robbery religious" No 1t will be
the crswning act OF this administration il
they grapplo with this outrage on com
mon sens, Nld consign il to oblivion. II
will be ere, no doubt, on TIE wives
and children, but the former knew what
they were doing
Families are tho grand safeguard Of
the nation. When Adam WAS created
but one wife was created for him and
Jesus Christ says "Thy train shall be
one tiesh" Jesus sanctioned marriage,
he performing his first miracle at a mar
riage feast.
Where there are families there are
generally children. But one of two
things prevent children. Eitherphysical
disability or sin on the part of the moth
er. Aud am glad have an opportuni-
ty to speak on the latter point The
small number of children in American
families has but one cause fer it. 1t has
become more and more fashionable to
regard children as cumbrauces, as
pleasure. And this has indeed deferred
many from entering marriage bonds.
But many of those who have, have com
mitted wholesale murder (for it is moth
ing else), running themselves physically
aud morally. / cry out against this and
say, They that do these things shall
,.ot enter into the Kingdom of God. "
A hell is prepared for them.
! advise all young men to marry. !
can conceive nothing more abject, more
lonely, unhappy md selfish than OH old
bachelor. Young men, refuse no good
opportunity to marriage and the grand
preventive of sin.
A won, MS love is deep in the aifec-
faithful or drunkard, or cold, she loves
him still through it all. But let n wo-
man be untrue and she is denounced.
spurned, thrown off by her husband.
Hence it is that when woman does fall
she is far worse than man in like CIR

4 Theory Of the Deiuge.

The author of work entitled "Cycli-
ca! Deluge,' recently published by APP
pleton & Co, argues that tho ocean has
grand secular tides or deluges, which
occurs every tyn thousand five hundred
years, two in each cycle of tho equinoo-
tial expression. The last dalugc was
that TO which the traditions of many
languages rsfer--tho great deluge 7"

dred years ago i; when the suns heat
having sufficiently softened tho vast ac-
cumulatiou Of ice around tho North
Pole, the fragments OF the ice mountains
rushed in body to the South, causing
sudden displacement in the earth's CEN
tre OF gravity, and carrying with them
the gigantic crratic boulders, whose pre-
sence in northern attitudes still puzzles
geologists. According to Mr.. Walker,
the author OF the work, the next grand
breakup will occur about six thousand
years hence, when counter oscillation

southern waters will be rushed down
upon the northern hemisphere, which
