the Exhibition Last Night.

The Sunday School exhibition at the
Linden street Christian church last
night was largely attended, sitting room
being at premium, and a great many
persons having left, unable to obtain
seats. The programme was varied
one, but rather too long, carrying the
exercises late into the evening. Taken
all in all, however, they were extremely
interesting and creditable to all parties
engaged. The exercises commenced
with chorus, then prayer, then beati-
tudes, Bible questions, instrumental
Duet solos, Duets, quartettes, octettes,
choruses, Rotations, declarations, and
benediction. Where all performed their
parts SO well, it would be invidious to
make any distinction as to performances
by the older members; but we cannot
refrain from commenting on the excel
lency Of the parts assigned or chosen by
the little ones. The declarations or re-
citations Of Masters Brown and Edwards
and Miss Addie May Gale; the Duets
between Master Brown and Miss Brown;
the Quaker Counting of Master Wright
and Miss Wright; and the Maniac, . re
cited by Miss Wright, were all exeellently
rendered, and would have been credit
able to older persons. The gem Of the
evening however, was the song When
/ was Maiden" by Miss Attic Little
ton, received with rapturous and thun-
dering applause by the large and de-
lighted audience, who, in this case at
least, would not rest satisfied until they
had called Miss Attic back again, who
then gave in such affecting style the bal
lad Of Father, Dear Father, Come
Home with Ne Now" that at its conclu-
sion there we're many wet cheeks among
the audience, from sympathy with the
little singer. Miss Attic certainly pos
sesses more than ordinary talent as q
young vocalist. The superintendent,
teachers and scholars Of the Sunday
School may well be proud Of their an
nual exhibition, and deserve great credit
for their very interesting performances.

4 The trial of Frank Graves, Samue
Poslon and Henry Wisener, progressing
in the Criminal Court, developed on yes
terday a state of society in Shelby
county that would disgrace the savag,
inhabitants of Genital Africa. On the
18th of July last there was a barbecue
given at Cuba, about sixteen miles FROM
this city, which was attended by all the
citizens Of the village above mentioned
the defendants included. During the
afternoon some persons informed Frank
Graves, who kept little store at Cuba,
that they saw his clerk, John Schofeld,
taking money out Of the till in the
store. The amount said to have
been taken was about two dollars.
Scho6eld was arrested by the defend
ants, placed in an ice-house for safe
keeping, and negro guard placed over
him until morning. From the testimony
of one of the lynchers, Mr.. Hines, who
has turned States evidence, We are in
formed that Graves, Poston, Wisener,
Geary, and the witness Hines, took young
Schofeld out of the ice-house and hung
him TO a tree until he was dead. Even
the hanging was savagely performed.
Scho6eld was drawn up and then let
down in few minutes. and then
jerked up again and left suspended
until his spirit fled far beyond the
reach of his brutal murderers. Be
fore being hung young Schofeld begged
for mercy, and implored his prosecutors
not to hang him; and when he saw that
they intended numbering him he plead
ingly prayed that his captors would per-
nit him to see his mother ere he died.
But these men, who had no feeling Of
mercy in their bosoms, placed a rope
around the neck of the poor, helpless
victim and strangled him to death. The
are residents Of this county,
and are farmers by vocation. The wit
ness, VIM. J. Hines, is the son of Col.
Hines, an old resident of this county.
The deed was so atrocious and cruel
that the human mind reyolts from con-
the incidents connected with |
the occurrence. 1t is even said that the
stealing was all sham, and that the real
cause of the murder was that other out
rageous crimes had been committed by
these parties, and young Schofeld was
cognizant of their guilt. Take it all in
all, it was the most vile and brutal crime
that has been committed in Shelby coun-
y for many years. Let the guilty par
lies, whomsoever they may be, receive
he punishment prescribed by the law for
crimes of this magnitude.

Russian Concert Troupe.

Our musie-loying community, which
includes almost the entire population, are
to have rare treat Monday and Tues
day next at the Memphis Theater, where
this troupe will give two grand concerts.
As the visits Of musical birds of passage
this season have been unusually rare
with us, we have no doubt the Russian
troupe viii do rushing business. The
Louisville Courier-Journa Of yesterday,
in noticing the first appearance of the
troupe, says;
We may give 1t as a critical opinion
that the Russian Concert Troupe, whose
first appearance was made at Weisiger
Hall last night, is of the best of its sort
that has ever visited this city. There
was room for fear that the company, an
unusual combination, relied on no more
than the singulArity of its composition
for any success that it might have. We
find the troupe admirably blended in its
seven voices, and, in its generate, far
above the ordinary. The voice of the
tenor, NJ. Raindi, is clear, full with much
sweetness and hexibility and fine
compass. The chorus of six is exceed
ingly well arranged, the bass, in particu
lar, having a remarkable character in its
depth and power The programme con-
sists entirely of Russian and German
music, and is better rendered than we
have ever heard the same or parallel Sc
lections by company of like size. To
conclude, the entertainment that this
company offers is surprisingly chaste and
excellent, and it is to be hoped that in
its further appearances, tonight, to-mor-
row afternoon and again tomorrow eve
ming, it viii be greeted with large houses.
1t certainly is not often that Louisville is
afforded rarer treat

!" QUO WARRANTOn CASES

The Nashville Banner Of yesterday
says:
A well known legal gentleman re-
ceived a letter from Washington, yester-
day, stating that a motion had been
made in the Supreme Court ITO advance
the ouo ,oarrdntO cases, and the court
refused to do it. The court state that
the cases were not of sufficient public
Importance to justify such q course.
This will put off the trial for year.
The public is familiar with the history
of these cases. Writs were issued
against parties in Tennessee, who were
under Or supposed to be Apolitical
disabilities. By agreement the cases
were referred to the Supreme Court of
the United States forits decision. The
question is as to whether officials elected
last fall, and now holding Office, are
eligible thereto under the Fourteenth
Amendment. The effect of the Amend
ment, and the law enacted in pursuance
of it, is to deprive a certain class Of
people Of their rights as citizens. 1t
raises the question, whether under our
free institutions founded on the will Of
the people as citizens and freemen, one
part of them may be outlawed while
they are taxed, and another part en-
dowed with exclusive privileges with
out taxation. And yet, the Supreme
Court of the United States, a tribunal
supposed to be composed of the most
learned and virtuous men of the nation,
and to be especially jealous Of whatever
may assail the great principle of constr
tutional liberty, does not think a class of
cases involving it of enough Importance
to be advanced on the docket. Cases
involving dollars and cents are thought
to be of more importance. Issues that
do not affect the public, but relate only
to controversies between individuals, and
involving only small sum of money, or
title to property, are preferred. The
people had . right TO expect different ae-
ton by the highest tribunal to which |
they can appeal. They think the ques-
ton of the political and civil rights Of
themselves of greater consequence than
questions of mere dollars and cents.
But the learned Judges at Washington
seem to think otherwise. Perhaps good |
may result from the adjournment of the
cases. The status of our officers is fixed |
for twelve months, but the suspense in
the meantime will be harassing. "a

A smuggIer Of silks.

The West Virginia Legislature has
just elected Mr.. Henry G. Davis, Dem
oerat, to the United States Senate.
Concerning the antecedents and qualih-
cations of the new Senator, the Wheeling
Register has this to say:
Mr.. Davis is a clear thinker" man
Of strong common sense, and possesses
an indomitable energy There are very
few public men indeed, even in, the
country, who have surmounted as many
obstacles and achieved as many success
es as has Mr.. Davis. Commencing life
in subordinate position in the employ
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, he has risen by successive
and rapid gradations to wealth and great
political influence. He has been a mem
Der of the State Legislature during the
past FIVE years, and was reelected tothe
State Senate last fall. His having at
tanned his present position, notwith-
standing the adverse circumstances Of
his early life, is proof of his unusual
ability.

Tur Washinrton Patriot, Of January

On.the contrary, His Excellency has
had very plainly signifed to the Admiral
that their intercourse hereafter must be

ments In view of these facts, it would
have been far better for the Admiral not
to have written the humiliation contained
in the memorable second letter, since il
