Cutting a Mans Throat Because
he WOuldn't Drink or Fight.

A correspondent writes US from Hall
fax. Va, that on Friday before last three
men from the Forks" in that county
attacked Lindsay Boyd, near Mt. Carmel,
while he was in his field blowing, and
came near killing him, because he refused
to drink with them or fight them. They
were all in liquor. and seeing Mr.. Boyd
at work in the field they called him to
the road to take drink, and upon his
refusal to do so they challenged him to
fight them. Boyd declined. They then
went for him" with knife and cut his
throat badly-almost severing the. jugu
lar vein, and the man must have died but
for the timely care of two ladies who
dressed his wound before DR.. Palmer
could get to him. What is the world
coming to.-HillsJoro Recorder.

A New Railroad.

Hickman proposes to build railroad
South through Obion and Dyer counties,
to iBtersect with any road that may be
located through those counties. The
City Council of Hickman, have appoint
ed committee of interview aud cores
pondeuce. From the proceedings of the
Board as published in the COURIER, we
infer that the citizens are keenly alive TO
the importance of the project. L would
be of great advantage to the people
along the proposed liue of the road and
we doubt not they will respond literally,
in subscriptions to the enterprise. The
COURIER is earnest and enthusiastic in
favor of the road Union City Courier.

The NEW POSTAL TELEGRAPH SCHEME
"A $50. 900, 600 CoMPANY.-Of the new
postal telegraph scheme the Express, in
its money article this afternoon, says:
'It will be revived. but in a shape
somewhat different from that presented
during the previous session. The new
scheme will be a company with $40, ,000-
600 capital, to construct an entire new
line throughout the United States. 1t
is stated that this company will ask the
right of way from Congress. agreeing in
return to connect all the postofices of
the country by wires. transact all Gov
ernment business at half the rates
charged for private messages and final
ly divide with the Postofice Department
one-half the annual profits. The COM
pany will also ask from the Government
Accommodations, rent free in the differ
ent postoffices. The projectors of this
enterprise will claim for it the advanta-
ges of a postal telegraph without any
expenditures by the Government. This
scheme is now being matured, and is
backed by a prominent New England
member of the House of Representa-
tives. It is reported in financial circle
that ii was originally intended to ma Q
the capital $1O,0OO,OO0. but after COR
sultation and deliberation, it has been
decided to increase it to 500, 600, 600 in
order to cover contingencies. ."-Cincin-

The SUPREME CoURT.-The first week
OF the annual term of the Supreme Courl
has been mainly occupied in hearing
cases from Judge Lewis District. The
time of holding this Court should be
changed from December to July, in or
der to accommodate the Judge and Ban
residing east Of the mountains. As it il
now the annual freezing of the Colum-
bia river and the consequent cessation
of navigation may at any time render a
toilsome and dangerous overland TRIP
necessary in order to reach Walla Walla
The change to July would, We are quit,
sure, be entirely agreeable to the people
of Western Washington, and we hope
the next Legislature will make the
change.
The Court, we hear from all sides, is
working harmoniously and effectively,
and growing day by day in the confidence
and respect of the Bar.
We have arranged for copies Of all the
opinions of the term, which will ap-
pear in the DISPATCH.

How GENERAL GRANT WR1rEs HIS MEs
sAGEs.-The President in preparing his
annual messages to Congress, usually
commences about ten days before the
opening of the session, and devotes
abont two hours each day, in the fore
noon, to the work. He writes r,pidly,
AMI with no reference to notes, further
than to orefresh his memory as to subjects
which he proposes to write about. De-
voting two hours each day to it, he usu-
alp completes 1t in about four days, or
eight hours work. He examines thor
oughly the various departmental reports,
statistics included, before he begins work,
and carefully stores his mind with the
contents. After he prepares the docu-
ment, he reads it to the cabinet, and re-
quests the members to IN, ke such sug-
gestion as they desire concerning their
respective Departments. If such sug-
gestion meet his approval they are in
corporated in the message, and the doc
ument is then handed to Messrs. Luckey
and Sniffen, who prepare two perfect
copies for the Senate and House, after
which they manifold six or eight copies

New YORK Fashions IN HArR.-The
number of our prematurely gray young
women ou the streets dressed in the
height of fashion, and stylish, attracts
attention. The hair is not powdered or
frosted. but is really gray. One would
hardly credit the fact. but fact it is,
that chemical process is resorted to
bleach the hair white. The reign of the
olOnd is over, and the old term "tow
head" passes from room to room. Col.
den locks are at discount. Raven
sresses are vulgar. and snowy hair is the
style. The highest priced wigs are gray,
md not black or auburn. Such is the
fashion that young girls with black and
luburn hair ere crazy to have bleached
head.

Supreme Court Decision.

Below We publish an opinion, deliver
ed by Chief Justice Jacobs and con-
CURED in by Greene and Lewis, j. j., in
the cases of Sohockly v. Brown ct al,
which settles an important point Of prac-
tice in appeals in equity suits. The ap-
pellees filed motions to dismiss, because
the appeals had not been taken within
the GO days prescribed by rule first OF
the Supreme Court adopted A. D. 1871.
The Court decides that rule to be
imperative as far as time for taking an
appeal is concerned. Here is the opin-
ion:
81 In each of these cases there has
been motion fled by the appellees, to
dismiss the appeals taken herein
We are of the opinion that rule first
in Equity, adopted by the Supreme
Court Of this Territory at its December
term, A. D. 1871. has nothing to do with
the question involved in these motions.
Because, although said rule might, in
the absence OF any Territorial Legislation
on the subject, have been operative as a
rule of practice Ill taking appeals to this
Court in suits in equity. yet the second
section Of the amendments to the prac-
tice act, passed by the Legislature of A.
D. 1871, repealed by the adoption OF
the laws of the United States on the
subject of appeals in suits in equity
practice, whatever operative effect the
rule might have had as limiting the time
in which appeals may be taken. Wheth-
ee the Legislature intended to adopt The
laws as to time. regulating appeals from
the Court to the Supreme Court cf the
United States; or whether they intended
by analogy ouly to adopt the laws as to
time regulating appeals from the Dis
trict TO the Circnit Courts of the United
States, we do not deem it necessary to
express an opinion.
In the first case the time was five
years, now two. In the other the time
was that intervening between the ses-
sion OF the District and Circuit Courts.
In either case this appeal would be in
time.
1t is but justice to say that at the time
of the adoption of the rule in question.
that the laws were unpublished and even
no authoritative evidence of what was the
fall text OF section 2, of the Laws of A.
D. 1871.
AS both motions stand on precisely
the same grounds and been argued and
considered together, the order of the
Court is. that they both be overruled.

There is rumor that open war h,
broken out between MIR. Frederick Doug
lass and Mr.. John NJ. Langston, the lat
ter of whom made an application for
the Office of Solicitor General before the
election returns got cool. The cause of
the trouble we do not know, but the an
linus of it may be inferred from the fact
that Douglass Says Langston is " an inn
pudent. Drained chap, who is
always anxious topush himself forward
and Langston retorts that Douglass is a
8 conceited, overestimated fellow, who
looks upon the Advancement of any
other cClored man as a slight to him.

there may be color of truth in both
these estimates; but VIC hope, for the
sake of our newly-made citizens in gen.
eral, that neither is as black as the 9th

Jud ye Wyche found himself unable to

forced to turn back, reaching Portland

The Boston Globe says: I'VE say to
the self-constituted solicitors of charity
for Boston that they have grossly mis-
represented the public sentiment of the
city; and if they doubt it let them ask
their neighbors, or the first man they
meet upon the street. Boston has no
such grovellng disposition to shift her
burdens upon the shoulders of other
communities, and she is not content TO
rest under SO false an impntation. The
press and the public abroad should
understand that the committees action
is nos and will not be sustained by the
public sentiment here, and that it will
be repudiate-i by the almost unanimous
voices of our citizens. The help which
Boston needs is the good will, forbear-
ance, encouragement and generous
patronage of those who sympathize with
her in her great calamity. and Lot pe-
cuniary aid in relieving her destitute

m CONNIE ndation of our onslaughts uron
the strong holds of vice, which had be-
come such a power in the community as
to dominate public sentiment, defy the
laws and intimidate the law-abiding, the
following is peculiarly gratifying as
coming from one with whom we have
been in lifelong antagonism in matters
OF politics and religion, and . strong
personal prejudice existing between us
founded upon the popular estimate of
each others character. 1t comes to us
in private letter, chiefly ON other mat
ters. and is as follows:
GA word abort your paper: pray
you stand by your flag. i will do what
l can to help your subscription list
You ought to and must be sustained in
the brave stand you have taken; more
brave than to stand in the face of an
iron-clad battery. Truth is powerful
and must prevail. God is on your side
now, surely, and all good men ought to
ally round you."
That we shall stand by our flag so
l:ng as we can stand at ALL. there need
be no fear. We had learned from long
experience the full consequences of our
undertaking in advance, and have not
been disappointed in onr expectations.
The l. IAN who leads the attack upon o
power full public enemy. must expect to
| bear the brunt of the battle and be the
chief s,lfferer in the conflict; he arouses
hosts Of active, vigilant and unscrupu-
lous en- emies. who will use every means
to cripple and destroy him, while his
friends and sympathizers are mostly
timid and inactive, hoping for the sue
cess of the right without their material
aid, and. fearing to embroil themselves
in the fight, whereby their business and
material interests may suffer, and thus
they tacltly, md in many instances prac-
tically aid the enemy. by giving their
support where it will propitiate- rather
than incite his wrath. In this respect,
we practically have the opposition of
p>any who earnestly desire the success
of our cause. while not willing to make
any personal sacrifice to help us achieve
it. We shall go right on, nevertheless,
with full faith in the ultimate triumph
of our cause. The fruits of our efforts
are already manifest to all.

VS..
E. A. Nichols, Impleaded &C.,
Appellant.
The libellant below, appellee here,
moves to exclude James McNaught,
a Counsellor of this Court and proc
tor of record in this cause from ap-
pearing proctor or advocate, for the
appellant in this Court, for the reason
that Mr.. Mcknight has so far been at
torney and Of council for appellee here
tofore, as to have professionally become
possessed of facts material to appellee S
rights in the caus, before this Court.
That such confidence was obtained be-
tween him and appellee appears to us
sufficiently evident from the atfidavits
filed in support of this motion, and the
pleadings certified to by as i'll this tran
script.
Council claims, that he was retained
by appellee specially for a particular
purpose; that he performed his profess
sional duty for the accomplishment OF
that purpose ; that he was thenceforth
at liberty to accept a retainer Ia this
cause adverse to his former client that
not until he was so at liberty did he act
as proctor or advocate for appellant
and that throughout the conduct of this
cause in the Court below, he has been
suffered SO to act without objection. But
we are all Of one mind, that the right Of
the appellee to make this objection has
not lapsed 10y reason of failure to make
it sooner that professional confidence
once reposed, can never be diverted by
expiration Of professional employment
aud that it is an abuse of trust not to b.
tolerated, for counsel to take the pc
sition that Mr.. McNaught has taken il
| this cause.
Let rule be entered excluding Mr.
Mcknight from further appearing il
this cause. ROGER S. GREENE,

tanned.
As all dispensations are issued BY
the National Grange, those Oranges
that are aggrieved by the location Of
Oranges near them, should, whenever
that fact is ascertained, inform the
Secretary Of the National Gange,

North Carolina Elections.

The State and Congressional Elec-
ton which occurred on the 1st inst. in
North Carolina, has already been made
the cause of loud and long rejoicing
and graduation by the Greeleymocrat-
ic press all over the North. While it
is now extremely doubtful If the DEM
ocrats have the State at all. and very
certain that If they did carry it, it was
by only handful, we may just as well
look for moment at the claims of
grand victory for Liberal Democracy,
in which they have been gloryins.
In the first place, the political contest
in North Carolina had none of the
+" LiberaP' features whatever. 1t was
a straight contest between the Repub-
licans and Conservatives, into which
the Dolly Warden element has never
entered. In the second place the
1896 majority and it will be difficult
to see how they can extract much COM
fort from between one and two thous-
and majority in the present election
which is the most they now claim.
In the third place, however the OFF,
cial count may prove the election to
have gone, the assertions of such third
rate political speakers as the Hon. Mr..
Cloud, that the ballot boxes of the
South are corruptly controlled by the
President with the bayonet under the
Infamous ku-Klux Act, may here
after be sufficiently answered by point
ing to this election.
