Cut.-The Harrisburg State Journal of

who was cut in a fight in that city, the
night previous. On Friday evening the

one of the hotels. The next day it was
found he had no money, and he was fur
nished quarters in the Jail, until he recov-
ers from the effects of the wound.

Dead Beats.-Every community is cur
sed with few dead BEATS" who make it
point to pay no debt except "the debt of
nature,' and they would if possible evade
that, and so cheat the devil out of his due. 1t
would be good idea if the store keepers
in the different localities would publish a
list of such chaps as warning to each
other Such persons are a nuisance, and
all nuisances ought to be abated. One
store in this town has list of the names of
some of these beats" hanging up for in

Local OptiOn.--On the third Friday of
March next, those opposed to license will
have chance to express their opinion at
the ballot box, and if majority of the
voters ofthe county are opposed to granting
any license, none can be granted for three
years. The temperance men are already
at work, organizing their forces, and we
hope when the time for vote arrives no
man will remain away from the poles. 1t
is really one of the most important ques-
tions ever left to the decision Of the ballot
box. We know of some hotel keepers who
win vote against any license being grant
ed but who make application for license
as they wish their hotels to be on the same
footing with others in'the county. At the
same time they will be better pleased to
have all refused. We have no doubt many
of our best landlords have dislike to sell
ling liquor and only do SO because it is Gus
tomary 1t now remains with the voters to
say whether or NOT, this custom shall con-
tinue.
In another column win be found a call
for convention to which we invite atten-
tion.

Ont In the Cold.-The Carlisle Herald
seems to appreciate the need of railroad
to Bloomfield, judging from the following ::
"New Bloomfield, Perry county, has a
literary society, If she has no railroad COM
munication. Keep up courage, there's a
good time coming for you, and we trust
it's almost here, for you have been left out
in the cold for many years"
How long will our citizens consent TO re-
main out in the cold? is the question which
now requires an answer.

Child Lost.

On Sunday evening last little Ger
man girl, four years of age, was stolen
from the residence of her parents at I,o-
retta, the German settlement near Law
renceburg. Her name is Anna Nelch-
er, daughter of Henry Melcher, was
dressed in blue hood, red shawl.
with white stripes, red and blue linsey
dress, white wooden stockings end
wooden shoes. The child had small
peaked nose, blue eyes, light hair, red
face, about az feet high and very fleshy.
She speaks German very readily, and
bat little English, and viii answer
readily to her name. The distressed
parents will pay reward of 100 dol
lars for any trace of their child.
Since the child disappeared, it has
been developed that mysterious look
ing stranger was seen in the vicinity,
but Notwithstanding search was com
menced In half an hour after the moth
er dressed her, no trace OF her whatev-
er has been found. Our exchrnges
win please make mention Of the occur
renee, describe the lost child, and do
the distressed parents favor that VIII
be properly appreciated.

The report Of the Poland Committee,
appointed to investigate the Credit Mo-
Aiicr scandal, is disgusting, and viii
entitle them TO rank with the swindlers
whom they attempt to whitewash.
They recommend the expulsion of Ames
and Brooks only, the first because he
was the arch conspirator, and the other
because he is q democrat,-thus attempt
ing to equaiize the shame between the
two parties. The report is an outrage
elua! TO the swmdle itself, and should
hand down the names of its perpetra-
tors TO posterity along with Ames, and
Colfax, and Brooks and the others. 1t
is remarkable that no mention is made
of ColfaX in this shameful report. His
villainy IS ignored altogether, when the
fact is he is the most wicked and con-
temptible of the whole crew, because
he has so often and so recllIessly lice in
attempting to excuse himself. A spe-
cial to the Courier-Journal says: 'The
fraud of the report will not be acqui-
csced In. 1t is possible that in the hur-
ly burly of discussion all motions to ex-
pei viii fail. The smart trick of pick
ing ont two seapegoats and washing all
the other sinners will be exposed. 1t
Is remarked to-day that not a word is
said in this report of ColGX's case,
which is, perhaps, the worst of all;
though if anything is TO be done, the
House of Representatives must impeach;
and 1t was the duty of the committee to
present his case. Members ask why
was all reference to him omitted.

A pike Wanted.

Each successive winter adds but an
other argument for a turnpike between
this place and Pulaski. 1t has become
n necessity. A journey over 20 Giles is
now as much dreaded, although it is
but eighteen miles, and really there is
more danger to life and limb in it, than
an overland trip to California. Even at
the entrance of the public square on
Pulaski street the mire is equal to the
worst "patches" of an Arkansas swamp.
1t would be paying Investment for
any mans money or any comyauy's
means to put it into pike road from
this pace TO Pulaski. The tolls in two
years would pay the cost Of construe-
ton. Let's ''agitate. r-LaloTeRce Jour
R0l.
We doubt not our citizens viii be Gag
itated" quite enough when they find out
that "Nyales Is going to build the pike,
and cut of from Pulaski all the Law
renee trade. Wen, we wish them luck.
We are glad TO see turnpikes bIilt, and
five can't get them to Pulaski, why,
we like to see other people building
them.

The Memphis Register, Feb. Is, says
We have received the annual report Of
the President and Directors of the Mem
phis and Knoxville Railroad Company.
The Presidents report shows the total
expenditures to date, for all purposes,
$4,720.70. The proposed line of the
road is from Memphis through Shelby,
Fayette and Hardeman county to Boil
var-this being the First Division. The
Second Division extends from Bolivar
to Henderson Station, crossing the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad twenty-five
miles from Bolivar. The Third Divis-
ion extends from Henderson Station,
distance of twenty-nine and three quar-
ter miles, to the Tennessee river.
East of the Tennessee river the con-
templated route is through the coun-
ties of Wayne, Lawrence and Giles to
Fayetteville, in Lincoln county, the
present terminus of the Winchester and
Alabama Railroad. The report Of MIR.
Mnlington, Chief Engineer, will be
found very interesting to the friends of
the enterprise.

The cotton tax amounts in the aggre-
gate to nearly seventy milliens. Of
this sum it is estimated that Tennessee
is entitled to about seven millions. The
accomplished EsTELLE VEHsE, in a let
ter to the Banner from Washington,
thinks that Congress favors a restora-
ton of this tax, if bill could be found
20 as 70 insure its return to the hands
of producers; but legislation is retard-
ed by the presence of Southern LOBBY
lists who expect to get one-hq0 Of the
sum for obtaining the passage of the
bill. She thinks these men are a nuis-
ance, and ought to be ordered home.
She is opposed to the Southern people
being robbed to enrich these sharpers,
and proposes that the whole seven mil
lions be given to the State of Tennessee
n a perpetual school fund. We think
with her that such bill would be of
incalculable benefit to Tennessee, as
well as other Southern States, and hear
tlly second her motion. We believe
furthermore that n large majority of
those who paid the tax will also agree
with her, and thank her for the sug-
gestiou.

The Credit 1Iobilier CulprIts.
The judiciary Committee of the lower
House of Congress have decided that the
House has no Jurisdiction whereby the
case of the Vice President could be
reached by impeachment. 1t has been
decided by the Senate that it had no ju-
risdietion over the alleged otfenses of
fits members not committed during their
connection with the Senate. They
think that like reasoning is applicable to
the case of the members Of the House.
The report Of the Judiciary Committee
on the Poland Report has been prepared
by General Butler. He thinks there is
not enough evidence and enough time
during this session to Justify any action.
1t is not thought that a majority of the
House will vote for the expulsion Of any
of the Credit Mobilier members. Mr..
Butloc will make defense OF Ames.-
Congress has no time to take action for
the impeachment of Colfax. The COM
mittee's report viii assail the Poland
report. Butler in seeking to save Ames
will give the Democrats a chance to at
tempt to save Brooks.

OF the Credit Moblicr Committees

a - =
OF the Credit Mobilicr Committees
Report, the New York Herald says:
The report is now the property of
Congress, and the House of Representa-
atives can do with 1t what they will.
But outside and beyond this incompe-
tent or unfnithful stand the jury of the
whole people of the United States, and
from them will come verdict different
90 that rendered by Judge Poland and
Ills associates. The verdict will aflix
the brand of guilt upon every man i'm
plicatcd In this iniamy, and the white
washing committeeman viii not escape
The punishment of Ames win be APP
proved by this higher court. The eN-
plilsion OF Brooks viii be endorsed. 1t
Is proper that both these dishonorad
hcads SHOULD be bowed i'm shame. But
the jury of the Nation will not suffer
The escape of ColGx, Dawes, Scofeld,
Bingham, Kelley. Garfield or any of
their fellows In corruption. They will
not permit such mockery Of Justice as
the conviction OF the highway robbers
OF the Credit Mobilier infamy and the
Justification of its sneak thieves. Nor
win they bo content with mere ten
days expulsion from a seat to be soon
resumed by those Of the offenders who
have unhappily been elected to the next
Congress. The people are just now
properly severe OK, murdcrers. In this
era OF rutlianism and assassination they
insist that the full penalty of the law
shall be inflicted on those WAC wilfully
{ axe human life. A conviction for
manslaughter will not satisfy the COM
munity. The Communication OF the death
sentence ola convicted murderer to in,-
prisonment for life would now be re-
gardod as an offence against society.
ON the same principle the people win
demand that the cutturosts of the coun-
try's honor, the mSn Who have muir
dcrcd the nations reputation and made
the highest positions in the Republic a
byword throughout the world, shall pay
the extreme penalty Of the law. tx
pulsion from the Offices they have de-
graded Is not enough. 1t is not sufll-
Client that the trusts they have betrayed
shall be taken out of their soiled and
Gishoaored hands. The law, which
should lie saercdly enforced, prescribes
e punishment for their crimes-a fine
Hot exceeding ten times the amount of
their bride ana imprisonment in PEN
i,entiaIy not exceeding ten years.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific cry
will so IN for the full measure Of jus
tice against the faithless public SER
wants, one and all, that they may be
made to disgorge their iH-gotten gains
anl put on the felon's garb, so that
all the world may know them for what
they are. No whitewashing report
from an unfaithful committee win be
permitted 70 shield the meanest of the
,ulprits from the public condemnation
