A Cunning Rascal.

- A baker in Quincy employed young
man to drive a bake-cart, and though
doubts had been previously entertained
of his honesty, his accounts Of Of ss:.:..cs s..cs O.
ways tailed with the amount taken out.
After being employed for several months,
the young man decided to change his
employment, and in settling accounts
there was q balance of FIVE hundred dol
lars which was due from parties to whom,
as the nice young man said, he had Civ
en- credit; but as they all lived in one
village, and never " dobbed around, he
he assured his employer that the collec-
ton of the bills would be at easy matter,
and they could easily be found, as'their
names were inscribed on the doors of
their residences. A few weeks after he
had left the baker sailed out with his
batch of bills, all Of which he supposed
to be "gilt-edged," but to his astonish-
ment, the answer to his inquiries in each
case proved that,the debtor had been an
inhabitant of the graveyard for num-
Der Of years. Y The cunning rascal had
sold his bread to cash customers, and
balanced the account by copying names
from the tombstones. FrETf

Three Men Burnea 20 Death.

From the Sweetwater Enterprise, Jan. Ill
A gentleman of undoubted veracity,
and citizen Of our county, informs us
that a man by the name of Miles
Leatherwood, a citizen of Polk county,
Tenn, and known by many as the muir
derer Of Gen. John H. Morgan, the par
ticulars OF whose capture and death we
published some weeks since, was re-
Gently employed by the Ducktown Min
ing Company as wood-chopper. Some
two others named Walton and Leather
wood, tie latter brother Of Miles
Leatherwood, built camp of heavy
slabs to shelter them from the weather
while they were engaged in filing their
wood contract for the company, when,
one night not long since, the camp took
fire, fell in upon and crushed them to
death. The camp was consumed and
the men burned terribly before any one
came to their assistance. Miles Leath-
erwood. who had often boasted of being
the murderer of Gen. John H. Morgan,
aud which fact was well known BY his
comrades and others, had both his legs
burned off above the knees. ss

ANOTHER COMMUNIST HEROINE
Lonise Michel's Pierce Defiance OF

ALn,iiaa aMinhAl another Of the noted

Communist women of Paris, has been
Il tried by s,court-martial at Versailles,
found guilty, and sentenced to trans

Further than this, again. Louise de-
cIared that she urged Ferre TO invade the
Assembly at Versailles, and regretted
he did not consent. But she desired
only two victims-M. Theirs and herself.
She was willing to die for the Commune;
she, herself would have undertaken 10
kill NJ. Theirs, and to take the conse-
auences. She denied that she had pro-
posed to shoot one Of the hostages every
twenty-four hours; what she did was to
propose to threaten = that action; a
very different thing. Having said thus
much, this daring woman, again disclalm-
ing intent to defend herself, wound up
her speech as follows;
Your faces are uncovered, so is
mine, and lean look at you steadfastlJ7'
You are men, and / am a woman de-
voted to the cause Of social revolution.
OF what use to defend myself 1t would
not influence your sentence; am here

person; do with me as you please. But
before sitting down / desire to glorify the
memory of those who have just been

her voice rang forth ike trumpet and
That She looked the very image Of an in

Whatever private griets or public regrets
Mr. Trumbull, or Mr.. Sumner, or any other
Republican Senator may have respecting GER
tain features of the Presidential policy-and
they are to be respected for any honest and
manly criticism they may make respecting
tit is not conceivable that either of them

furtherance of the Vaccinations of the willy
leaders of party rendered desperate by the
political signs of the times. To learn from
the enemy is true wisdom; what they coun.
sci it is safe to reject; what they desire to
possess must not be conceded.
The latest device is to insist only upon one
term in the Presidential office, in order to put
stop to political corruption and official
bribery! This has vrtuous aspect; but it
means nothing more than turning out Grant,
and leaving his successful rival and the party
electing him to find plenty of reason hereaf.

Grafton; but it is to be questioned whether
the American people will ever so tie their
hands and stultify their judgments as to make
it unconstitutional for them to choose the one
they deem the best to fill the highest office in
their gift. Is it not reflection alike upon
their intelligence and patriotism to say that
they may not be trusted with the right to elect
as often as they will, whomsoever they will
to act as their Chief Magistrate? If he abuses
his trust, or proves himself unqualified tor
the station, the remedy is in their hands.
This freedom they have enjoyed and exer-
Extraordinarily to themselves, at least
from the formation of the Federal Govern

mere dodge to meet factious eYigency.
