THE Democratic leaders Of the State
of New York did not hesitate as to
what was their duty when the frauds of
Tweed G. Co. came TO the surface. They
at once commenced prosecution against
them for malfeasanco in office. In
strange contrast with this is the conduct
of the leaders of the Radical party.
With astounding frauds turning up
every day, they form closer alliance
with the plunderers, and if they do not
actually assist them in their specula.
tions, shield them from punishment.

STARTLING ITEMs.-Some Of our
taxation items are startling. For in.
stance, the taxes collected for the year
1871 from whiskey and tobacco amount
ed TO SSG,OO0,000. In 1860, before The
war, under Democratic Administra-
tion, this would have paid the whole
expenses Of the Government. What n
beautiful little legacy, in the way OF
debt, will not Grant leave us-osrecially
if he SHOULD succeed in a re election?

strong cry for martial law coming up
from Georgia. The necessity for it will
be fully appreciated when we say that
it comes exclusively from the Bullock

civil courts closed they will feel perfect.

will soothe their perturbed souls by

Now, although this computation OF
successive majoities is not actually

Under the old plan Of voting in the first
case above, 300 voters would be unrep.

case 300 instead of SO.
Those people then, who say "thc ma

A Heavy Rain storm.

Thus far in the season this part of the
country has not been visited by the usual
amount of rain, and, in fact, the spring has
been noticeably dry, and has been the sub
iect of general remark IS a dry season.
But the promise that Rain shall fall on
the Just and on the unjust, has been liter
ally fulfilled within the past twenty-four
hours. At about midnight on Tuesday
night, or yesterday morning, the windows
of heaven were opened, and from that
time till late yesterday morning it almost
poured, nearly all the time, and was fol-
lowed throughout the day by frequent and
heavy showers. A light wind, only, ac-
companied the storm until last evening
about dark, when the rain Stacked up and the
wind rose, for time, to nearly hurricane.
During the first six hours heavy peals Of
thunder and sharp lightning accompanied
the storm, sometimes making the houses
tremble by its force. The storm travelled
from southwest to northeast. As might
be presumed, the country was all afoat,
and the gullies, brooks and rivulets were
bank-fulI, and miniature lakes spread out
on every hand. The general remark yes
terday was, ''Well, we needed rain, and We
have got rain-but it comes faster than
the country can accommodate il" It was
feared for a time that serious damage
might be sustained by the crops, the rail-
roads, the property on low lands, etc., but
nothing very serious came of it, that we
could learn, and what damage was done in
this vicinity will be found recorded else
where. It was welcome rain, however,
and will do the country and crops an i'm
mense deal of good.

RAILROAD MENTION.

Last Monday, as the evening train from
Louisville was coming down the steep
grade above Gallstin, horse was seen
ahead of the train, on the track. The
whistle was at once blown, and every effort
made to stop the train, but without sue
cess, and the horse was thrown about ff-
teen feet from the track, and died almost
instantly. Fortunately, no damage was
done to the train or passengers.
TIE man who was recently run over In
the tunnel through Muldrough's Hill, on
the line of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, is, as we are informed, native
of Limerick, Ireland He had been only
short time in this country, and was look
ing for work. Becoming tired, he sat
down under the shaft in the tunnel to rest.
Without intending it, he fell asleep, and
the first train that came along took off his
legs Just below the knees. He was taken
on board the train, and lived only about
thirty minutes, though he retained his
senses to the last. He was out of money,
and had been looking for employment.
Last Saturday the No. l train, bound
for Nashville, on the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad, ran over a spotted heifer,
and threw her about thirty yards from the
track. No damage was done to the train.
The Trenton Gazette of the 22d says:
''On last Saturday night section hand Of
the Mobile and Ohio road was cut or struck
on the head in several places with a
hatchet, and died from the wounds on
Monday. A couple of men (section hands,
have been arrested, who are CHI arged with
having committed the murder. The two
men had been seen quarrelling with the
deceased a short time before he was at
tackled. The deceased was IN Irishman,

THE CITY.
Masonic HALL LAST NIGHT.

Bunyan's Pilgrims PrOgress-A
Magnificent and Instructive Work
of Art.
The extremely Indictment state of the
weather yesterday and last night deferred
our good people from visiting the panor-
anna of the Pilgrim a. Masonic Hall in such
numbers as the merits of the exhibition
would seem to warrant. We had the
pleasure of being one among the number
who Witnessed it, and most cheerfully do
we recommend it to the best eonsidera-
ton of all those who are lovers of the fine
art in its most pleasing and interesting
form, and to all those who have an appre-
citation of the story of the Pilgrim and
feel sympathy for him in the terrible
vicissitudes, temptations and faithful trials
with which his rugged path, from the City
of Destruction to the Celestial City, is
beset. The story is most faithfully and
naturally portrayed, in the design, the con-
ception Of the highest order, and the
paintings touched by the skill of mas
terri hand. The audience were more than
pleased-they were delighted. All the
children who have arrived at the years of
understanding, all Christians, and all men
and women of the world should visit this
fine exhibition-its moral influence is most
healthful, and its artistic merits are among
the very best, ranking by the side Of
Paradise Lost" and other first class
paintings of the kind. 1t will be exhibit
ed the remainder of the week, also on
Friday and Saturday afternoons, for the
benefit of families who cannot go at night
A large LOT of very beautiful and useful
gifts are given away at the conclusion of
each performance.
