THE STATE OF KENTUCKY comes promptly
TO the front and gives the democracy model
to follow in their coming canvass. Her Demo
cratic Convention, which represents nearly all
the people in the State, has nominated +.
II. Leslie for Governor and adopted deca-
ration OF principles, which declares, among
other greatly modified democratic doctrines,
that the democratic party Of the State pledges
Itself to put down all infractions Of the law,
whether Ku Klux or otherwise, by the power
OF the State courts and the stern administra-
ton OF the State laws. Here is good ex-
ample, alike for Northern and Southern demo-
Gratis. II there are Ku Klux in your States
put them down yourselves. Kentucky gives
the democracy keynote, and we hold 1t best
for their own harmony that the democracy Of
oil sections sttune themselves TO it.

THE BEER QUESTION IN MASSACHUSETTS. -
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, has just
taken vote upon the question whether the
sale Of beer shall be allowed in the several
cities, towns and villages. In the larger cities,
such as Worcester, Lynn, Lawrence, Spring
field and some others of lesser note, the beer
vote prevailed. In Salem, New Bedford, Cam
bridge and some others the sale of beer was
disallowed by the popular vote. 1t is notice.
able that in all places where the German ele-
ment prevailed the vote was in favor OF the
sale Of beer. The next election will probably
bring some prominent Massachusetts politi-
Clans 10 the bier.

influence the public mind and to assist the
party in its designs. And is another civil war
to be the consequence of these political
intrigues9 Are the radicals, with the aid Of
the wretched scalawags and carpet-baggers in
the South, going to follow the example of the
Southern fre-eaters and plunge the country
into another fratricidal WARP Are we to have
military despotism fastened upon us through
tho conduct of knavish politicians? These
are serious questions suggested by the exist
ing state of things which every good citizen
should ponder over.
We have advised over and over again the
Southern white people to submit to the laws
and the existing state of things, unpalatable
as they may be, and to throw overheard their
impracticable old secessionists, for the sake of
peace and our common country. It is better
to bear the ills they have than to fly to others
they know not Of. Their condition can only be
made worse by resistance to the laws and the
power of the federal government. At the
same time it must be admitted that in some
parts of the South, particularly in South

great deal As the old saying goes, worm
when tread upon will turn. A people, how
ever well or peaceably disposed, may be
goaded to desperation. In many parts Of
the South, and especially in South Carolina,
as our correspondent reports, the ruling
power is absolutely in the hands of brutal and
ignorant negroes, who cannot read or write
and who have no conception of government,
or, what is something worse, these negroes are
under the control of corrupt and vile men,
strangers to the soil and having no interest in
common with the people-men, in fact, who
are only there to plumber the people and to
foment disorder for political ends. Let us
imagine if we can the situation of Intelligent
white people-people of our own race and
blood-under the state of things thus
described by our correspondent and well
known to exist Still, we earnestly advise the
Southerners, as we have advised them before,
to obey the laws and patiently bear these evils
till that brighter day shall dawn, which will
surely come, when the country will be
restored to peace, prosperity and better
government.

The War Against tho Commupe-Progress
Of the Siege Of Paris.

The War Against tho Commupe-PrOgres
Of the Siege Of Paris.
Our latest dispatches from the seat of war
around Paris, while they contain nothing of
startling character, are in measure signif-
cant. We are at loss to understand why the
movement of Marshal MacMahon with a corps
Of thirty thousand men against the Western
eaceinh of Paris was abandoned. Was it
feint to draw the attention of the insurgents
on the south of the city from the attack upon
the forts, in order to render an assault upon
them successful, or was it given up for the
reason that the general commanding had no
faith in his men? We can hardly believe the
latter, because in all the fighting that has
taken place the government troops have
shown the greatest animosity to the men
OF the insurgent army, and have fought
with resolute determination and bravery.
II it was feint we can only surmise
that it was abandoned because the insur-
gent positions were discovered not yet in
Git condition for assault. The siege drags;
it is becoming monotonous; day after day
passes without change Of any great
Importance. A position is stormed, carried
and then abandoned because it is found to be
untenable. An advance is made and then
comes the halt; and SO it goes slowly on
There may be, and doubtless are, very good
reasons for all the delay, or else it would not
occur. But we are at a loss to understand
them. The reds are offering q most stubborn
resistance md ficbtin0 with on onorrv opd
determination worthy of better cause but
by SO doing they are only prolonging the
misery of the inhabitants Of Paris and adding
to the distressed condition of France. They
will have to be brought to submission by the
Theirs government or else by the Germans;
and If they are wise they will not allow The
latter to settle the disturbance.

CLOSING SCENES OF MRS. FAIRS TRIAL
We give to-day an account of the closing
scenes in the trial of Mrs. Laura D. Fair for
the murder of A. p, Crittenden. At the
close of the argument the charge, which was
specially telegraphcd to the HERALD was de-
livered by the Judge in the most impressive
manner During all the last hours of the trial
the prisoner did not appear to be the least
nervous or anxious her behaviour was as
calm as possible, and even when the terrible
verdict was announced that proclaimed her
life forfeited to the offended laws Of her
country, scarcely change in her appearances
or manner was visible. She remained passive
through all and received without emotion the
words that moved Judge and jury. If there 10
one thing more than another that proves tho
criminal to be one of the worst of women,
utterly lost to all sensibility or feeling, 1t Ia
the fact that the verdict of murder In the first
degree failed to produce an emotion which
would lead us to suppose that the prisoner In
any manner appreciated her true position.

pronounces the late decision Of our Supreme
Court establishing The constitutionality of the

perhaps, that this decision applies to our

A Terrible Death.

Mrs. SARAH n. HIGGINs, eldest
daughter of Mr.. A. L. Crow, of this
place, was killed at Athens, Ala, on
last Saturday morning by falling
into a we'll She had for many
years been the victim of a very pain
full female disease and while suffer
ing intensely she became addicted
to the use of morphine. Seeking
even temporary relief from physi-
cal agonies that were almost I'M
bearable, she gradually increased
the quantity of the narcotic until
its frequent and immoderate use
grew into habit which she had no
power to abandon. Of late her
mind became unsettled and at times
she was entirely deranged. The
disease with which she was afliet-
ed, together with the fatal effects of
the inordinate doses of morphine
which acute suffering led her to
take, finally resulted in insanity
At about day-break last Saturday
morning she was seen by a negro
boy leaning over the well in her
husbands yard and a short time af-
forwards, being missed by the fam
lily, instant search was instituted,
which resulted in the discovery of
her body at the potion Of the well,
where the water was ten feet deep.
1t was generally supposed that she
committed suicide, but it's reason
able to conclude that while leaning
over the we'll she became dizzy, lost
her balance and fell in. The life
of Mrs. FfIeeINs for several years
past has been one of great physical
suffering, but in her lucid intervals
she blessed the hand of Him whose
pleasure it was to infict it upon her,
believing with true Christian resig-
nation that ''whom the Lord Ioveth
he chasteneth." She leaves a be-
reayed husband and three children,
the latter of whom even in the
spring-time of youth are called up
on to forego that sweetest Of all
blessings, a mothers love. airs.
HIeGISs was buried at this place
last Sunday afternoon and her body
was attended to the grave by large
concourse of sorowing friends,

County Court.

The following order relating to
public roads was made by County
Court at its quarterly term, upon
motion of Justice J. p. G, REED:
It's ordered that the Magistrates
in each distsict be appointed COM
mittee on public roads, for the pur-
pose of apportioning the hands on
the several roads in the different
districts of the county; and appoint
ing overseers on all roads that have
no overseers on them. And that
said Committee meet in the County
ty Court room IN Pulaski on the
End Monday in June, and continue
in session from day to day until
they shall have apportioned the
hands on all the roads in the coun-
ty. And that they will, if necessa-
~, summons overseers of roads and
other persons before them for the
purpose of carrying this order into
effect.

of Mr.. WILEY HIcKERsoN, who re-

That gentleman at once came to the
door and on doing SO was fired up
on by the party outside, who dis
charged the contents of a shot gun
at his person, the load tearing off
his shirt bosom and grazing the
skin without inficting any serious
injury. DR.. ARMSTRONG returned
the fire but without effect, and the

1 Move in the Right Direction.

A Move in the Right Direction.
A portion of the Stockholders of
the Pulaski and Pisgah Turnpike
Company have relinquished all of
their interest and stock in said road
to Mr.. G.. A. HOPKINS, on the con
dition that he viii Immediately put
the road in good travelling condi-
zion from the corporate line of this
place to a distance of four miles
The County Court has sanctioned
the contract and decreed that Mr..
HofK1Ns shall have control of that
part Of the road for term Of thirty
years, and be allowed to erect a toll
gate one mile from town and collect
toll agreeable to the provisions of
the charter, provided he keeps it in
good condition and observes the
width, grade, and other require
ments of law. This is certainly a
move in the right direction and we
experience delightful sensations at
being assured that the work Of i'm
proving theroad will begin imme-
diately and East Hill be shorn of
its terrors as thoroughfare. Too
much credit cannot be awarded the
Stockholders to whose enterprise
and liberality we are indebted for
this progressive movement. 1t is
understood that DR.. WILSON, living
near Pisgah, will make proposals in
which he will agree to improve the
road on similar conditions for the
distance off four miles further. This
proposition only requires the form
of a decree at the next term of the
Court, which viii of course be made
to render the good work more com
plete. We hope the County Court
(Which we know is DESTROYS of pro
noting the public welfare, will see
if other roads cannot be similarly
improved.
