@ Gov. Brown has foun

@ Gov. Brown has found
it necessary to adopt series Of
,rules.to govern applicants for
pardons in cases where persons
have been convicted Of crimes
against the laws of the State.
There are now over seven hun
dred and fifty convicts in the
pcnitentiary and its branches,
and the applications for pardon
on file in the Governors office
amount to over five hundred,
A large number of persons go to
Nashville at considerable incon-
venience and expense to make
personal appeals 10 the Cover
nor in behalf Of convicts. -
This is time and money thrown
away, for the Governor cannot
act from the promptings of sym
pathy, else he would turn every
convict out Of the prison. ID
must have a clear case within
the law to justify his exercise
Of the pardOning power, an6
this must be shown him by the
production of the facts he calls
Tor in these rules. Parties in
tending to make applications
for pardoning, or having such
applications pending, should
study these rules carefully, anC
act upon the suggestions they
contain.

The Financial Scare.

Although the late failures
have occasioned great excite
ment throughout this country
and part of Europe, still we
are not of those who believe
that the people at large will be
seriously affected by them
The affair is a local one, and its
effects cannot have any great in
fiuence beyond the streets in
which it originated. The hap
Ipiness Of a great people is al
bove and beyond the fortunes
of spectators.
The following paragraph from
the EUening Post seemsIto rep
resent the general views Of The
New York press:
The trouble is confined thus
far to the railroad houses, anC
there, probably, it will remain
or where it extends beyond then
lit will be to the houses or com
panies SO weak intrinsicall,
that any unusual condition OF
things would be likely to brinE
them into difficulty. 1t is Ger
tain that the fall trade has open
ed with unusual promise; Their
are certain articles of merchan
disc which went up in price yes
terday, in face of the excite
Iment and disaster in Wal
street; the country has bee
blessed with bounti1ul crops
for which there will ineyitabl,
be a large demand in Othe
countries; our foreign indebted
ness for the last nine month
has been paid by exports an
not by paper promises, and a
these facts show that the com
mercial community general
is in a healthy and vigorou
condition.

IL While thousands Of poor
working men of the country
have been reduced to the star
walton point by panic brought
on by incompetency Of the adj
ministration, there are no hard
times atthe Presidentialm mansion
While taxpayers are grooming
under the weight of increased
salary for gambling Congress
men and pleasure seekingPres-
ident, it is refreshing to read
that the executive mansion has
been deliberately repaired in ev-
cry particular. The reception
hall has been gloriously decora-
ted, and so arranged that it can
be thrown open to the conser-
vatory. Carpets and new fur
niture have been going on for
some time. All this has cost
thousands Of dollars, and every
cent of it comes out of the
pockets of the people. 1t is
thought that with everything
supplied him by the tax-pay-
ers, and a double salary, the
President will be able to drag
out a miserable existence for a
few years, pretty comfortably.

RY The advertising columns
of a newspaper are the best mir.
ror known of the enterprise and
business of a place. Winchester
is tadly lacking in the energy that
always indicates the wide-awake
town. Only one store, we believe,
advertises in the Home Journal.
Capital seeking investment never
stops in sleepy places.

RS% In New York Stokes,
the murderer of Fisk, has been
found guilty in the third degree,
and sentenced to the penitentia-
ry for four years. Human life
is cheap, nowadays, tits true,
but as a punishment for willful-
ly taking it, this appears to be
drawing it very mild indeed.

any Democrat voting a mon

Conference in Tullahoma, was,
we are told, put to the test, and
"found wanting" A preacher
who happened to have a negro
wife applied for membership in
the Conference, and Of the large
number of delegates in atten-

4 VIII and Away.

Miss Blackenship, ofPlatte County, Mo-,
seventeen years old, farmers daughter,
and the sister of three extremely offcous
brothers, has lately demonstrated to her
long-suferng sex the practicability of fem
mine revolt from III asculinc domination,
and its inadequate conclusion. About n
month ago the family of this rustic damsel,
after tolerating in the fatuous manner of
their kind, an intimacy pointing to but one
result, Suddenly decided that such result
would not be to their fancy, summarily no
tilted the sentimental young gentleman in
the case that his further addresses were not
desired. Upon learning that such action
had been taken, the farmers daughter in
dgnantly refused to abide by it, and inn
proved the first opportunity to send word to
her discounted cavalier that he need pay no
attention to the imperious notification, as
she was old enough to select her own soci-
ETY. and did not propose to bear dictation in
that matter from anybody. Hearing CT this
message, its recipient was inclined to
take courage from it, the three sturdy broth
ers of the fair rebel fastened to assure the
unpopular young man that, if he ever did
resume his suit they would take the re-
sponsiblity of causing it to end in a funeral.

held forth in the old express Office, Bagg's
square, was arrested yesterday. on COM
plant of one whose purchase did not yield
satisfactorily, and arranged before Justice
Gilmore, who held him to bail in 5000.
The complaint is that on the "27' race, Mr..
Dempsey represented that "Neliie" was in
the ''tield," and the complainant purchased
on that representation. The statue under
which action is brought, is very strict, and
leaves the defendant little chance for cs-
