FAYETTEVILLE, TENNESSEE:
Thursday wernIng, March 6, 1878

w. The mills of the gods
grind slowly, but they grind
exceedingly small; and in no in
stance has this adage been more
strikingly verified than in the
case of Senator Pomeroy. One
ofthe original freedom Shrek
ers" of Bleeding Kansas, his
services were rewarded by the
Republican party in that State
with q seat in the L. S Senate
IN 1851, which position he will
hold until the 18th of March next.
Having enjoyed the pleasures
of sin" for so long a season, in
the delectable company of SINH
lar patriots at Washington, he
thought he had a prescriptive
right to a lifelong seat in the
Senate. Some opposition, how
ever, having been manifested in
the Kansas Legislature to his
reelection to the next Congress,
heundertookto "buy in, "by brib-
ing one of the members with
$1,000. The money was accept
ed, and the deluded old man rest
ed confident in the assurance of
his reelection. Unfortunately
for him, however, the acceptance
Of the bride was merely a trap
to ensure his downfall, and an
exposure of the whole proceed
ing was made before the aston
ished and indignant Legislature,
who Immediately elected anoth-
or in the place OF Pomeroy, the
competitor of the latter, Mr.. In
gals, receiving 118 votes out of
1872 cast. Thus ends the career
of another distinguished Repub-
lican leader-in infamy and dis
grace.

"a The Shelbyville Com
nlerciaL is surprised because Meth
er Of the Nashville papers, the
proud representatives of Ten
nessee journalism, has written
one single word of comment upon"
the attempt of Maj. Wicks to re.
store the barbarous and well-nlgh
dead practice OF dueIing. Pos
sibly they are waiting, as the
Union and american did during
the Cheatham and Johnson cam
vass, to learn which is the popu-
lar side before taking position.
A contemporary who is not a.
fraid to speak boldly, and without
hesitation, for the right, well says:
The day has passed when the
practised duelist can intlmldate
better and Drawer men than him
self. A more enlightened public
opinion has laid down the law that
the dueliet is q murderer in the
sight of God and man. The late
war demonstrated the fact that
courage was not confined to the
small class of those who hdbitual-
IL carried pistols and whipped
them out on all occasions. The
men who stormed forts, and led
forlorD hopes, were the quiet peace
able citizens at home, and not
those who were DULLES in time of
peace. There were several mil
lions of people who did not scc@,.re
worth a cent at minnies or big
guns, who held the "Code" in pro.
found contempt, and do still"

1 The press almost unan-
imously approves the course of
Mr.. William Rule, of the Knox
vile Chronicle, in having re-
fused to fight a duel with a man
who thinks he was insulted by
something published in that
paper. He tells Maj. Wicks
that he will not seek an oppor-
tunity to murder or be murdered
on account of statements the
truth of which he can prove and
the falsity of which his challen-
ger does not offer to show; but
that he shall continue to pursue
his legitimate business, and
certainly shall not hesitate to
defend himself as promptly and
effectually as necessity NAV
seem to require.

Legislative Summary.


The General Assembly has
done very little in the way Of
legislation, but "a there were
very few laws needed, it is perhaps
wisest that it should have done
little.
Quite a large number of bills Of
general character, but enacted
for local and special purposes, have
passed both branches of the Leg.
isIature. The inevitable dog law
has met its usual tate-and the
various breeds Of CANNES, bulls,
hounds, terriers and "curs of low
degree may continue their Gus
tumary rounds without lear of
the tax gatherer.
The retailing liquor bill, (Which
passed the House, leaving the
question of selling 10 the people
of each civil district, and requir-
ing bond of the seller to indemni,
fly any party damaged l,y the par
/ ty to whom sold, was defeated in
the Senate, but stands as a mo-
ton to reconsider, and may yet
become the law.
A school bill has passed the
Senate, creating the office Of State
Superintendent, levying a tax of
ten cents for school purposes to be
distributed in the county where
collected, and requiring the dit
ferent counties to levy an add
ii, nal tax if necessary, sufficient
to keep schools three months in
the year.
The general features of the bill
are not materially different from
the present law.
Mr.. Wi son introduced a bill to
abolish the Office of County Judge
for this county.
None of the funding bills have
yet been reached, and the ques
ton of the passage of such 4 law
remains in some doubt.
The Senate determined ID per
feet first law to arrive at greater
uniformity in the rate of assess
ments, and worked all of last
week on the assessment bill, which
! is a sort of codifcation of all the
laws in relation to the mode end
manner Of assessment.
We understand that a majority
of the Legislature favor a low
tax on privileges, believing that
more revenue will be obtained from
a low than high rate. When
the assessment bill is pleted.
it will be followed by a bill fixing
the rate of taxation.
