The VERMONT CENTRAL LITiGATIo-.
The hearing of the petitions of the
Vermont aud Canada railroad against
the Managers Of the Vermont Central
and Vermont and Canada railroad, for
the payment of $4,000 rent due last
December: also, their petition for the
summary removal of the managers, and
the petition Of the first mortgage bond
holders for the removal of the managers,
was terminated Friday by the with
drawal of all the petitions, the Court
ruling, as we intimated Saturday morn
ing, that the charges made against the
trustees were a matter of accounting. 1t
was ordered that the managers file their
accounts in court forthwith, when the
Vermont and Canada viii have the right
to object to any item and bring the mat
ter properly before the Court, and upon
proof of fraud or improper accounting,
a simple motion will be sufficient to have
the managers removed. The President
of the Vermont and Canada railroad
thereupon made a short speech in reply
to the ruling, rejecting somewhat upon
the Court and stating that an accounting
was not what they wanted. Whereupon
the Court withdrew the order for the
managers to file accounts. This makes
it apparent that the Vermont and Canada
railroad officers are satisfied that the ac-
counts Of the managers are all right,
and that they would not find anything
Objectionable to them, and shows that
they only hoped to carry their point and
GUST the trustees by the newspaper.
clamor they have raised against them,
The accounts having all been regularly
audited and approved by committee
elected annually by the bondholders
themselves for that purpose, they are
estopped from any further procedure at
present All the testimony introduced
by the petitioners failed entirely to sus-
tain any of the charges made against the
trustees and managers.

CONTEMPTIBLE.- The Courier of last
week contained a statement in regard to
the Rev. Mr.. Evans, (brother of Mrs
Ion Lippincott) which is contemptibly
mean and entirely false. Had the editor
of the Courier taken the trouble to in
vestigate the matter, as he should before
publishing such an article, he would
have found an entirely different state of
facts. The mental condition of the
mother of Mr.. Lippincott was such that
it was decided by physicians and friends
to be essential for the safety of the
widow, in her Frustrated condition, and
for the best good of all, that she be re-
moved from the rest of the family. She
was, accordingly, provided, after the
funeral, with good, comfortable place,
and provision was made for her support.
This explanation we make on the best
of authority, to relieve the parties from
the unjust charge made by the Courier.

Profess.

Hon. J. II. Magill, of McMinn, and
Hon. w. H. Eckle, of Jefferson, placed on
record the following protest against the
passge of the School bill:
The undersigned, in exercise of. their
Constitutional right, present the following
reasons for their voting against Senate
Bill No. 45, to establish and maintain a
uniform system of public schools.
1st. Said bill does not provide an ade-
quate tax for the support of the public
schools, and the undersigned are in favor
of public schools that can be kept open
five months every year, and the under
signed can not vote for abill that will keep
the doors of the school house closed ten
months i'm the year.
I'd. Said bill, while fair to look upon, is
really bitter to the taste, because, while
protesting to "establish and maintain !"
schools as matter of fact, it will neither
establish nor maintain schools.
Sd. Said bill provides that the tax levied
shall be paid over to the county trustee OF
the county wherein collected, which means,
in plain English, that the poor counties
shall have no schools and which, carried
to its logical result, further means that
poor children shall have no schools.
4th. Said bill shuts the doors of the
school house to the youths of the State
over eighteen years, whereas tie State is
full of youth over eighteen years who have
been waiting at the school house doors for
years, waiting for them to be opened, and
now they are told they can not enter.
And thus the State takes advantage of her
own wrongs.
5th Said bill violates the spirit of the
Constitution, in making an unjust and
disparaging discrimination against county
schools, by providing that higher branches
of learning may be taught in cities and
incorporated towns of two hundred in
habitants than in the country schools,
which is as much as to say that farmers
sons and daughters are not as deserving as
the sons and daughters of the cities and
incorporated towns. o.
9th. The undersigned have always been
in favor of liberal system of State edu-
cation, one that is based upon principle
of common right and equity.
7th. Said bin falling to do this, the un-
dersigned present these as some of the
reasons why they could not vote for the
bill. w. III. ECKEL,

MURDER IN POLK COUNTY.
One of the Most Wilful, Malicious and
COwardIy Murders ever Committed.
COrOner's Inquest.

-e.. COrOner's Inquest.
E. III. Stephenson, Coroner for Polk
county, Tenn, on the 4th day of March,
1878, at Wimberley's Cross Roads, with
J. DoWell, John Cate, G. w. Moore, T. B.
Cooper, J. T. Lawson, John Rush and j.
G. Duff, as jury, held an inquest upon
the body of Jacob Davis, there dead, and
their verdict was that deceased came to his
death from gun or pistol shots in the
hands and fired by Michael Roark and
others. .-.-
The facts are about these: Davis and
Joe Roark had difficulty last summer
some time, and in January last Alex. Ro-
ark and William Holden, brother-in-law
to Joe and Alex. Roark renewed the diff
Guilty with Davis, when Holden shot at
Davis, whereupOn Davis returned the fire
slightly wounding Holden in the shoulder.
Nothing more of interest occurred, until
the last day of February, when Davis and
Alex. Roark met at the Cross Roads and
made friends and Alex. insisted upon him
going home with him to stay all night,
but Davis refused to go. Roark insisted
on him coming soon in the morning for he
wanted to swap pistols with him. Alex.
Roark lived little less than half a mile
from the Cross Roads.
The next morning, the 1st of March,
Davis started over into Bradley county,
and as he passed A. Roark's house, Mike,
the father of Joe and Alex. was standing
in the door, and after Davis passed thirty
or forty yards, shot him in the back, which
seemed to be signal for the others. Da-
Wis being afraid they were before him also,
Immediately turned and ran back by the
house while they were shooting at him.
One ball striking him in the left side, one
glanced the top of his head, two others
through his coat, which did not take effect
i'm his body. The one that glanced mis-
head knocked him to his hands and knees,
when they set fierce dog upon him, but
he rose and kept the dog from biting him
and ran on about two or three hundred
yards farther, falling twice more, when he
was met by some men from the Cross
Roads, who heard the firing and saw Da-
Wis running.
Davis said he did not see any one but
Mike Roark. But Alex. and Holden are
both hiding out with the old man, and are
still at large.
Davis was helped to the house of Mr..
Graham, where he died about II o'clock,
A. NJ, the 4th day of this month.
