Robbery Of the Express Car on
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad.

We learn that daring express rob-
berry occurred on the Mobile and Ohio
road in Hickman county, Saturday night
last. 1t appears that three men, who
purchased tickets at Union City, 7 en-
nessee, for Clinton, kentucky, got on the
train When the train halted at Mos
COW two of the robbers got off and their
confederate remained on the platform of
the car. Observing no one but the
messenger in the express car as the train
moved out from the depot, the two jump
ed into it aud resented revolvers at the
head of the messenger. They forced him
to hand over the key Of the safe, which
one ramsacked while the other stood
guard over the expressman. After tax
ing out all the money, supposed to be
about twenty thousand dollars one of
the thieves placed it and the key in his
pocket. The robbers then pulled the
bell cord, and when the train Stacked
up, jumped out and took the woods
where they escaped under cover of the
darkness. The train backed down to
Moscow, where description of the rob
bers was sent by telegraph. The citi-
zens of the place armed themselves, and
to the number of twenty five turned out
to hunt in the woods, but when the train
renewed its course the thieves had not
been secured. As they took the key of
the safe with them, it could not be open
ed so as to ascertain the exact loss.

The An,ende Honorable.

Last week the Columbus Dispatch
charged that We exhibited Inconsistency
in supporting Col. Holt and opposing
Maj. Hale, who it said, occupied similar
positions. Now, it says:
eve will concede that Holt does not
occupy the same position as Maj Hale.
We mention the matter here simply as a
matter of courtesy to the Courier, and
not because it has any bearing on the
questions under discussion"
This is the amende honorable, and we
thank the Dispatch for it; but if it has
no bearing on the question, and it has
none earthly, why did you ever men
ton it?

Death of a wonderful Child.

FROM the Bostou POST July ~
We mentioned in our columns yester-
day the presence in Boston of most re-
markable child, the offspring of Joseph
and Ann Il. Finley. 1t presented the re-
markable as we'll as unprecedented phe-
nomenon of two heads, four arms, and
two legs, and all upon single body.
The girl-for such was its sex-died last
evening at No. 6 Bowdoin street. The
first half, or head, breathed its last at
5, and the second shortly after s o'clock.
The many thousand in the Western and
Middle States who have seen this marvel
lous eccentricity of nature will learn of
its early death with regret. The child
or children as it would almost seem
proper to allude to the phenomenon
had enjoyed excellent health from
birth, nine months ago, until within two
weeks, at which time one exhibited signs
of illness. This, however, was but tenn
porary. 1t recovered and was bright
and playful. Since reaching Boston,
few days since, the other-or the other
half-was taken sick and died yester-
day afternoon, as already stated
The Hickman courier., 1871-07-29
rhe Jefr. Davis sIander.

Mr.. Davis having published card of
denial of the vile slander which has been
in circulation in regard to his association
with certain lady, the Louisville Com
nercial, in whose columns the story first
obtained publication, retracts the charge.
The Commercial thus gallantly speaks
of Mr.. Davis:
Gas Mr.. Davis passed through Knox
Vile on the 18th inst, on his way to
Memphis, he has taken the earliest op
portunity to make the denial which he
found upon his arrival there was "deem-
ed necessary" As he has met the ques-
ton like the gallant gentleman which we
have never doubted him to be, and has
given the story, as promptly as he could,
a denial in the most emphatic and judi
cious language, we hope the scandal will
be consigned henceforth to that limbo
reserved for such stories upon men who
are called on to bear the burden oil un-
enviable conspicuity. No feeling which
we have toward Mr.. Jefferson Davis is
tinged with any shade of malice and it
was no disposition to do him injustice
which led US to publish an item of un-
pleasant news about him, which came to
US apparently well authenticated. If the
story is founded in malice, as he asserts,
we have no part either in the fabrication
or the spirit which prompted it,"
The Hickman courier., 1871-07-29

PEsTILENCE IN THE EAsT.-The ca
bic telegraph system, which was not
in existance when this country was
last visited by Asiatic cholera, to
give US timely warning of its first ap-
appearance in the East, brings intelli-
gence that that devastating pestilence has
just broken out in Poland, on its way
westward. On former occasions we
received the warning and the pesti-
lence at the same time, and the oppor-
tunities to establish proper sanitary
protection against its anticipated incur
sions were not afforded. Now we can be
warned in time; and having discovered
agents of prophylactic virtue greater than
were known at any previous irruption of
the terrible plague, it is hoped that we
have the means to avert it, and ample
time for their effective employment.
The Hickman courier., 1871-07-29
Democratic PROSPECTS.

John Quincy Adams is represented as
saying that the "tug of war" in l 872 will
be in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
AS to Virginia there is not particle of
doubt. She will give any Presidential
candidate against Gen. Grant not less
than 10000 majority. We doubt, with
the exception of South Carolina, whether
a single one of the old slave States, from
Delaware to Texas inclusive, will vote
against the Democratic Presidential can
didate. This, with New York, New
Jersey, Indiana, California and Oregon,
we believe will elect. Pennsylvania and
Ohio can be carried by the nomination
of the right man, and the conducting of
the canvass upon the right issues. AL
together, it looks as if we were to have
the old contest of 1856 over again, then,
as now, with the chances in our favor
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Mr. Arnold, Democratic candidate fOl
the Legislature, tavors.
Mr.. Gleeson, Democratic candidate fol
the Legislature, .farors.
Capt. Clark, Democratic candidate fol
the Senate. .tdrors.
Maj. Hale, Democratic candidate fol
the Senate, OPPOSES.
| Now, we want harmony on this ques-
ton, and submit to any reasonable, in
telligent man, how it shall be obtained
Shall Leslie and Carlisle, our chosen and
accepted chiefs, and our regularly de.
clared nominees, yield to Major Hale, or
should the Major yield to them? All
cur other local candidates, Clark, Ar
mold and Gleeson, occupy precisely the
same position with the regular State
ticket, and Hale solitary and alone oe-
cupies different position on this ones
tion but is in exact harmony on all other
issues.
But, again, the Major charges that the
editor of the Hickman COURIER was
member of the Committee on Resolutions
which framed the Democratic State plat
form, aud says if we desired to make the
question an issue, it should have been
incorporated in the party platform. In
the first place we have never desired to
make the question party issue, but have
argued it as a question of policy invol-
wing no party principle. Nevertheless,
the editor of the COURIER did have the
honor of representing the First Con-
gressional District on the Committee Of
Resolutions in our State Convention, and
insists that our State platform contains
an implied promise to amend our laws of
evidence in this regard. Now, let us
see:
The 4th resolution endorses the Demo
cratic Congressional address, which ad
dress exhorts obedience to the laws, in
Guiding the amendments, civil rights bill,
etc. The 9th pledges the party to have
enacted such laws as experience may
demonstrate to be necessary to secure to
every person ample protection, of life,
liberty and property under laws enacted
5y oar o,en Legislature, and administered
by o1tr arm courts.
Judge Hallem, the member from the
Covington District, offered a resolution
which was drawn by Lit. Gov. Carlisle,
pledging directly our next Legislature TO
so amend our laws of evidence, but with
drew his resolution when it was explain
ed that the present platform covered the
same ground. Col. Breckinridge, of
Lexington, was the author of the plat
form, and he, Judge Phi7ter, and Mr.
Isaac Caldwell, all, so explained it. The
Democratic platform means this, or it
carries a falsehood in its tone, spirit aud
face.
We have never made such argument in
his senatorial contest, only because we
know, there are good and tue democrats
N both sides of this question, yet as they
attack US on this point, they can now
lave the full benefit Of it. And to sub
tantiate our understanding and con
itruction, we refer to the position taken
IN the question by the head and whole
# our State ticket.
The Hickman courier., 1871-07-29
.sCllmbIpg tI,e Fence.,

The effort of the COURIER to make it
appear that we are joining issue with it
on the negro testimony question will
prove a failure. We believe it to be
both right and polite ColunaJus Dis
patch.
The Dispateh's position and ezplana-
ton is like the boy who went in swim
ming, and was caught by having his shirt
turned
"Where were you Robert?"
"In the garden, ma"
"No-you have been swimming; you
know l cautioned you about going to the
creek. 1 will have to correct you. Look
at your hair, how wet it is"
"Oh, no, ma, this is not water-it is
sweat"
"Ah, Robert, 1 have caught you fb-
bing; your shirt is wrong side out"
Boy, triumphantly-"Oh, did that
just now, ma, climbing the fence"
We caught our neighbor with his shirt
turned, but for courtesy, will allow he did
it, climbing The fence.
