INFAmY.

In spite of the disposition OF our polti-
cal enemies to denounce members of our
party and to take the conduct of some of
the bad men who are in it and make cap
ital against US, we are not disposed to be
governed by the lea tdleonis.
The fact which we desire to bring be-
fore the public, although occurring in
Democratic community and perpetuated
by body composed Of Democrats, is not
intended by us as reflection upon the par
ty. but to show the condition of section
of our enlightened State, which needs
something to deliver it from barbarism
and brutality. Certainly the "free school
system of the State will not fail to become
beneficial to community cursed by such
acts of barbarity.
Foreign missionaries could find at home
work worthy of their Christian efforts.
Russell county, In the southwestern por-
ton of our State, furnishes us with an &C.
currence disgraceful to civilization, and
which reflects upon the intelligence of that
section. Injustice against the majesty Of
the law deserves condemnation as well as
if inflicted upon an individual.
We copy from the Bristol Neacs Of last
week. The facts speak for themselves:
New METHOD BY WHICH JURORS AaRrE.--A
friend informs US that a jury was empanelled
in Russell county not long since to try case
of manslaughter. After hearing the testimony
of various witnesses and the argument of coun-
sell on both sides, the case was submitted to the
jury, who Immediately retired to their room
the vote being taken, resulted seven an favor 81
conviction and fve for acquittal. It was then
proposed and agreed by all the jurors that
straws should be drawn for the verdict. Ac-
cordingly, straws were prepared, drawn, and
resulted in favor of the five for acquittal; the
verdict was therefore prepared, signed and rem
dered by the jury in accordance with the de-
cision OF the straw drawing. This is fact,
we understand, as stated by one of the jurors
In the case. We are not advocates Of the Ku.
Klua 5iH," but think little reconstruction OF
such Jurors would not be amiss.

The women are too much for the Louis
vile Courier Journal. That paper having
said something "sassy" to Mesdames Wood
hull & Claflin, they retaliate by putting
this and that together, as follows: "On
Monday, April 10, five hundred barrels OF
Cincinnati whiskey were landed on the
levee In Louisville. On Wednesday, the
18th, the Louisville Ooavier-Journal APP
psared without line of editorial"

the above.l
Ruloff's head was cut off short time
after his execution, and given to surgeons
for examination. /. was found to contain
ten ounces more brain than usual, with a
skull thick enough to defy bullet. His
body was several times disinterred by diff
ferent parties, all anxious to obtain his
head, but were disappointed, it having
been taken off before burial.
James w. Hamilton, Of Missouri, was
struck by lightning last week and instant
ly killed. Lightning is hitter from Hit
tersville, and few men can stand blow
from it.
Nav York papers, eager for a sensation,
have reported that Mrs. Annie Claflin, is
missing" The old lady has probably
gone out to spend few days in the coun-
try and will return in time to spoil good
rItsm."

AN admirer of the Commune informs US
that the destruction Of the palaces of Par
Is, If 1t was done by. the orders OF the
Commune, was symbolic act, showing
that these radical republicans were deter
mined to destroy every prestige Of remaia-
ing royalty and Cesarism. This is but a
moor excuse for the vandalisn that would
destroy the Louvre Aud the Luxembourg
with all tter precious stores of French
a., ~would have been better to have
r..asecrated the Tuilleries, the Hotel de
Vile, and the Palais Royale to the pur-
poses of republicanism than to have de-
moished them.

STRANGE MAIL.-The Wheeling Lateai-

were on their way from Illinois to Chris

The highest premiums awarded ut the various fairs

attaches to any awards made late years. it is those
of the Exposition Universee, at Paris, 1867, where
all the principal Sewing Machines of the world were
in competition and where they were taken out into

teristc urbanity and fairness of the HOWE CON-

to the course pursued by some other companies.

The House passed the Southern Paclhc
,ailroad bill Tuesday, and though it was so
amended that it will have to 90 back to the
Senate, its final passage at this session
seems certain. The Senate COMMITTEE on
Territories have under consideration ann
repeating the act Of the Wyoming Leglsla-
tnrr. under which women are now voters
in that Territory. II is proposed to amend
1t 50 a. to make the provisions general,
and thus reach the voters of Utah.
The bill Tor establishinga territorial gov
cumcnt for the District of Columbia has
both Houses of Congress, and will un-
uuestonably he approved by the President.
1t has all the usual features of such bills;
provides for the appointment of a Govern
or, who shall have been fortwelve months,
4 resident of the District Tor Legislature
chosen by the people, and makes other
important notifications necessary to adapt
the laws of the district to its new condi-
ton. This change has long been needed.
1t is stated that the friends Of Judge
lloars Education hill do not expect that it
will pass now, but they are satisfied that
much has been accomplished in the right
direction by the attention that has been
given 10 the subject in Congress and by
the press, and they are confident that it
will result in the passage of some measure
toy the next Congress that will afford i'm
portant aid to the southern States in any
efforts they make to establish thorough
system Of common school education, and
will stimulate them TO make such efforts.
