Lewis Vaughan to be Sent to Hell.
ena for Trial.
This forenoon Judge Flippin, of the
Criminal Court, rendered an deliberately
written opinion in the habeas corpus
case Of the State ex rel Lewis Vaughan,
on requisition Of the Governor of Ar
Kansas on the Governor of Tennessee
for the body of the prisoner. The case
was learnsdly argued before Judge Flip.
pin some days since by counsel of the
petitioner and counsel of the State
of Arkansas. The only questions
involved were legal ones, raised
on the legality Of the issuance of the
requisition of the Governor Of Arkansas
and the warrant Of tke Governor of Ten
nessee. Judge Flippin reviewed the
whole subject Of acquisitions from the
Governor of one State upon another and
the comfy which exists between States
upon this subject. He held that the pa

could not 60 behind them and inquire
into the facts or res gesta upon which
these documents we're based. Did not
the papers appear regular then the Court
would probably inquire into the
merits Of the case by hearing
testimony as to the abb and other
proof which might possibly be adduced
70 show that the relator was innocent Of
the crime alleged against him. In con.
clusion, the court held that the prisoner
must be handed over to the officer from
Arkansas, and remanded to Helena for
trial. These are the points made in the
exhaustive opinion, and are evidently
well taken, the legal precedeats being in
favor Of such positions. Vaughan will |
probably lea We this evening for Helena,
and the Memphis sensation will be trans
ferred to our sister State Of Ark ansas.

SEWING MACHINE.
A CHALLENGE
WILSON VS.. SINGER

| LOWING TO SEVERAL FALSE REPORTS
| ~ and statements being circulated concern
! ing the merits of the Wilson Sewing Machine,
| all of which have been traced to the office
where said Singer Sewing Machines are for
/ sale, and in some instances to the prOprietOrs
| direct; and in view Of the fact that people arc
being prejudiced, which is detrimental to the
interest Of our business, we therefore hereby
! Oter the following challenge, and invite the
proprietors of the Memphis Agency, or any
one representing them, to compete with the
Wilson Machine. in any public hall in the city,
on the following points Of merit, and the deci
sien to be left to eleven irst-elass mechanics
OF this city, six of whom may be selected by
opponents, and none to be selected who are
now or have heretofore been in the employ Of
either party.
We propose to demonstrate clearly that the
Wilson. Sewing. Machine is superior to the
Singer in the following points. viz:
FIRsT--That the Wilson machine has the
best feed. il being made 10 work on three sides
OF the needle. instead Of two. and has more
force and power.
SEcoSB-That the tension is not affected by
the size and smoOthness of the upper thread.
and that II retains it,, uniformity and adjust
ment after continued use much better than
the present tension used on Singer machines
THIRD-That the "take-up" movement Is
positive, and uses no spiral spring or other
kind. and not liable to delay by breakage.
FouRrH-That the three principal ,pov,.
ments Of the Wilson machine. viz. fse shuf-
tie, the feed and the needle. are all worked 10
one short shaft, instead Of two long onss
which cause extra friction.
FIFrH-That the balance wheel. beinr Ia
Gated il, front and on the brace, prevents n
from soilins the dress Of the operator.
sIxTH-That the adjustable cones on tho
balance wheel spindle prevent the rafting and
clicking noise 50 Objectionable.
sEvESrH-That the Wilson is much the
easiest aud hghtest running machine Of the
EIGRTH- That the wearing points in the
ilson machine, nine in number, are AM made
Ao1stable, 80 that play room or lost motion
ian be taken up when Necessary.

luaden breaking Of cog or gear wheel, caua-
ne aeiAy ana expensive repairs.
