TIE FARMERS

The farmers Of West Tennessee met
yesterday in convention at Humboldt,
and organized as promptly as men
usually do who have business to trans
act and are pressed for time. The syn
Opsis Of the resolutions passed, which
we publish by special dispatch else
wheIe, show that the farmers under
stand the power and scope of the
oranges quite as well as their brethren
Of the northwest, and are quite as deter
mined to make a right use of them.
The mOnOpolies are to feel the weight
OF that power first, and no doubt the
next legislature of Tennessee will be
elected on a platform in which the es-
seutial plank viii be relief for the
planter. The farm eTs have at last hit
upon feasible plan OF relief. They
have only to keep it out of the hands of
the hungry politicians and they will
succeed. Theirs is the paramount inter
est IN the State, and it should receive
the consideration due its importance
and their numbers. Let them see to If
that they make no entangling alliances,
and they cannot only elect their candi-
{ oates, but control the State. The
oranges will continue to find in the AP-
PEAL warm friend and advocate.

TIE wALwoETH TRIAL.

The jury have decided the case OF
young WalwOrth, on trial in New York
for the murder of his father. The YER
dict is murder in the second degree, en-
falling, we believe, the sentence Of i'm
pIisonment in the penitentiary for life.
This viii be a disappointment on all
sides. The friends of the muir
dered father looked for verdict
that would bring the patricide
10 the gallows, while those who allowed
theirjudgment to be overridden by their
sympathies, had made up their minds
to an acquittal and release. We be-
heve the jury have done well.
They could not overlook the
accumulating provocation afforded by
the father, nor the enormity of the deed
OF the avenging son. The verdict is
just, and we hope the sentence will be as
severe as the law allows. If the young
man is subject to epneptic fits, or to
dangerous MOODS, the penitentiary is a
good place to indulge both without iniu-
~ to his neighbors, and without excit-
ing their spprehensions. Then, too.
something is due the society whose
most sacred laws he violated. The
manner Of his taking of is to be re-
gretted, otherwise the demise of the vel
low-cOvered Walworth is a blessing.
The imprisonment for life of his equally
crazy son viii very properly supplement-
the tragedy, which is the most shock
ing crime Of the year, viewed in any
light.
