DESPERATE AFFRAY.

From the Nashville Banner.l
G. w. Champ, Sheriff, and T. s. Ma
bern, Deputy Sheriff of Marshall county,
having in custody Mitch Pearson,
charged with the murder of an old man
named John Cheek, in that county, In
1885, passed through here yesterday for
Lewisburg. Mr.. Champ says that short
ly after PearSon's Incarceration to await
trial on the charge OF murder, Pearson
broke jail, and had until last Friday
night been going at large. Champ fol-
lowed Pearson through Tennessee, Hen
tucky, and Missouri. He found him at
last, living near Brownsport Furnace,
and went TO his house, situated in a rath-
er inaccessible locality at twelve O'Clock
last Friday night, awoke Pearson and
informed him that he (Champ) bad a
warrant against him, when Pearson
opened the door and shot Champ in the
heshy part of the shoulder. Champ
snapped his pistol three times in Pear.
sons face. At this juDcture young
man named Roane, who was with
Champ, finding that the latter could not
discharge bis pistol, fired upon Pearson,
who ahielded Aimself by ahuttinn the
door. The party remained about the
house until daylight, ct which tine they
made pretense Of burning the house,
when Pearson surrendered.

SNOW-BOUND.
Eight Freight Trains BlOckaded ard
Completely Buried in the Snow
SnOW-Sleds Sent to Their Relief.

MILWAUKEE, January IO.-Reports
from the Iowa division Of the Milwaukee
and ST. Paul railroad say that sleighs
have succeeded in reaching the train
wbound between Conover and
Ridgeway, and rescued the passengers.
Superintendent Prior telegraphs that
there are eight freight trains showed In
between McGregor and Austin, snow
packed so tight that snow-plows have
no effect upon it, and it will have to be
shOvelled out. All that can be seen of
some of the trains is here and there the
top Of brake just protruding above the
snow, and nothing but the smokestack
of an engine marks the whereabouts of
of some. The thermometer ranged
between twenty and twenty-five lie
grees below zero, and the wind blew a
perfect gale. The drivers of the teams
Of relief were badly frozen. The rail-
road company is doing all that is possi-
bic to relieve the delayed passengers
and reopen their road.

Special 10 the Appeal.
LITTLE Rock, January l0.-The Sem
storial contest intensifies, with results
to-day favorable to Dorsey The weak
ness Of Bowen's position was developed
this morning by the circulation Of a
paper signed by nineteen Republicans,
supposed TO be friendly to the election
of Bowen. 1t turns out, however, that
at least five of the names were used
without the knowledge or consent of
their owners. and the remaining sixteen
represent the full Republican strength Of
Bowen. The report telegraphed you on
Wednesday that Governor Baxter was
in favor of Dorsey is proved TO be true,
as the Governor to-day expressed him
self unqualifedly on tire subject, giving
az his reasons the ability and sagacity
displayed by Dorsey in aiding to secure
his Baxter's) nomination, which was the
forerunner of the Republican triumph In
this State. Dorsey's calm, quiet, self
satisfied demeanor to-day pOrtends no
good for Bowen or any other man who
feels disposed to make a tilt against him
for Senatorial honors. Dorsey moves
around as though already mas
ter of the situation. The De-
mocracy will probably concentrate on
some leading member of the party
whose name has not been mentioned.
1t may be that Garland or Pew will be
the man. a count-up to-day shows
that there are thirty-six Democrats in
the Legislature, all of whom stand
aloof except Il few who are for Bowen.
Dorsey has twenty-nine Republicans,
Hadley ten they will go to Dorsey after
Hadley is withdrawn), and Bowen
thirty-three. Bowen and Mcdonald are
said to cooperate, the latter to come in
If Bowen fails. Bowen thinks defeat
impossible.
The records in the office of Secretary
of State show that Bowen accounted
fairly for the State bonds Issued to him
for thirty miles of his road, which he
built and equipped. His business
and his character are not as has been
reported. Dorsey's personal fame is un-
sullied. He is a learned and tasteful
scholar, and Is most highly esteemed
where best known. The Gazette goes
for Bowen, and, as before stated, Gov
ernor Baxter favors Dorsey.
The legislative proceedings are unim-
portant.

THE HEBREWS.
Secretary Fish, Mr.. Jay and the Ans
triaH Minister ON the ROumanian
Prosecutions.

WASHINGTON, January l0.-Durinr
last summer Secretary Fish suggested
20 our Minister at Vienna that If the
sympathy which we entertain for the
inhumsnity to the prosecuted Hebrews
in the Principalities of Moldavia and
Wallachia were made known to Austria,
u might quicken and encourage that
Government TO discharge its duty as q
protecting power, pursuant to the obli-
cations OF treaty between certain Eu-
rOpean States.
MI. Jay subsequently, informed Secre-
tary Fish Of his interview with Uc Aus
TRAN Minister, the latter Informing
him that joint nste had been addressed
% the ROumanian Government on the
treatment Of the Hebrews, which Au-
stria had united with the other powers,
and that such an expression of opinion,
whether on the part Of Europe or Amer
lea, would be proper, and would
undoubtedly have an infiuenee, but in
view of the actual states of the Rou-
manian government, Of the attitude OF
the opposing parties, and OF the pre-
judices Of the people, which neutralized
in such cases the power OF the govern
ment by the right Of trial by jury. The
question Of the foreign Intervention was
one Of extreme delicacy, and so far from
accomplishing the desired object, an in
teryentiOn might result in diminishing
the ability Of the government, and In sub
JectiEg the Israe'ites 30 increased preiu-
dices and further persecution. The
Prince Of ROumania was known to be in
favor OF securing to them protection,
aud every effort OF his government in
that direction would be rather hampered
than assisted by foreign intervention,
Tor the reason that Intervention would
give new strength TO the opposition, and
enable them 10 say that the government
wac administered by foreign influence,
and ceased to deserve the confidence OF
the people, and while the government
was thus thwarted in its efforts to pro-
tect the Israelites, they would be more
than ever exposed to insult and abuse.
as an indirect result of foreign interfer-
ence Ia the affairs of the nation. such was
prejudiced against them, that the juries
would not convict the perpetrators Of the
outrages, however clear the evidences;
ana when the crimes were ignored bv
the jury, the government was pow
erless 10 punish. AT the present time it
was the disposition of the government
u deal justly with the Israelites as far
as II could, aud with the idea now be-
ginnin to prevail that the civilized
world was aroused, and recurrence
of nl-tTeatment 70 the Jews will
be viewed with displeasure, and might
resut ia foreign difficulties. There was
reason 10 hope they would not be re-
peated, and that there would be a grad
ual smeliOration Of their condition. Inl
addition 20 the good offices of the United
States 10 behalf of the Jews, our Minis |
ter at Constantinopie has Informed
our Government that he was assured at
the Turkish foreign Office, that on the |
first renoHstrenee made by the great
powers strong representations were made |
by thc Ottoman % tie Roumanians.

ANpYis INFLUENcR.


We print this as Republican view of
the situation in Tennessee: at must be
gratifying to Ex-President johnson to
realize that his extraordinary labOrs in
the canvass for Congress, although he
was defeated, have produced good fruit.
As be himself remarked, immediately
after the election, he broke up the party
crust under which the best interests OF
the State were hidden, and, as will be
seen in the organization of the Legisla-
ture, put it out Of the power Of any reac-
tionary . rty TO control or shape the
policy of the State in the regulation of
its domestic affairs or its relations to the
National Government. We shall now
look for such legislation as will promote
the best interests Of society, improve the
finances of the State, invite hundreds of
thousands Of people from other States
and foreign lands 10 make their homes
In our midst, and open 70 every child In
the State the doors Of q well kept and
efficient school. The prospect, at pres
ent, is inspiring. Let the Legislature
but discharge its duty firmly and un-
tiinchingly, and all will be well."-'

Union in the late war with unswerving
fidelity. He always commanded the

sense Of honor and fidelity to principle.
He has always ably, honestly and faith
fully represented whatever constituency

make one of the most useful members Of
the present egislature.-BdnneT.
The election Of Mr.. McGaughey, Of

rather unexpected, we presume. He is
a gentleman of honesty and integrity.
His popularity will be conceded. when

which would make certain the election

Private caucuses, under lock and key,

Mr. MlII.s ReligIous vlews.

Immediately after the death of Mr..
Mills the Rev. Stoopford Brooke, in the
pulpit, pronounced an eulegium upon
his character. Mr.. Mill was not a sub
scriber to the Thirty-nine Articles; did
not recite the dapnatory clause in the
Athanasian creedi did not even believe
in the Nicene Greed; was, in fact, what
is known as a philosopher" and as
such was untrammelled by any ancient
dogmas or articles of belief. The Chris
tian pulpit, therefore, seemed scarce
ly the place in which to sing his praises.
Mr. Abraham Hayward, Q. c., thought so,
and Wrote Mr.. Stamford Brooke to say
Sc, especially because Mr.. Brooke, in
his sermon, had spoken against a let
ter addressed to the Times by Mr..
The letter of Mr.. Hay
ward gave mortal otfense TO Mr.. Mills
friends, enc Of whom, Mr.. W. d. Chris
tie, took it up as Il personal natter, and
showed his sense Of the matter by adopt
ing such conduct at the Athen@um Club
as appears to have caused his being
shupRed By other members. In conse-
quence Of this he hss written a pam.
phlet, which AessTs. Henry s. King 4
Co. have published. In this letter
to NJ. Brooke, Mr.. Hayward severely
cenSured this gentleman for pressing
man who at one time fell under the no
tice Of the police for circulating q hlty
book, written by the notorious Richard
Carlisle, containing theories which he
retained daring his later years. Mr..
Mill, 1t seems, also feil ~ lnys with
married lady, and wrote succession Of
papers in the Examiner against the sa-
Of marriage, and in favor Of un-
limitsa liberty OF divorce. Naturally the
subject Of this discussion has excited
great deal Of interest. People who wor.
shipped Mill do not like to see their Da-
gon broken 70 pieces, their divinity
proved mortal, and very unsavory nor
iality too; but they haFe Only themselves
10 blame; their excessive laudstion pro-
iReei the paiursl result in the minds Of
',ss-sibie meH.

WI. OF a Celebrated woman.

Lady Ashburton, who died sixteen
years since, and has just been suitably
commemorated in Lord HaughtOns s
" Monographs" was an exceedingly
clever and remarkable woman, the soul
and center Of notable literary group,
in which Thomas Carlyle was a promi-
nent figure. She was a keen fresh lance"
in conversation, and people who retired
discounted from the sharp encounter
with her wit would say OF her: " do not
mind boing knocked down, but | cant
stand being danced upon afterwards. "
Thackeray was one Of the eminent men
OF letters whom she piqued by her too
brilliant rallyiug, and he left her parlors
at Bath House, resolved never TO return.
He declined Lady Ashburton's invita-
tons and spoke Of her with dislike and
discourtesy. Months after, when the
angry feeling had had time to die out, he
received from her one day an invitation
TO dinner. Thackeray returned il with
one Of his inimitable drawings on the
back, depicting himself kneeling at her
feet, with his hair all ahame from the
hot Goals she was energetically pouring
upon his head out Of an ornamental
brazier. This act Of contrition was fol.
lowed by complete reconciliation and
warm friendship to him and his family.
1t is said that more women are arrest
ed in San Francisco than in any other
city in the Union.

CHOLERA AND HoMEoPorHY.

Homeopathy gained its first triumphs and
secured public recognition by its signal cures
Of the Cholera in 1928. In every seceeding
invasion it has maintained its reputation,
preventing and saving even when other sys-
TENS failed. No ether treatment or system
can even approximate its splendid results.
Its mild doses seem TO act like magic, and
cure as no other medicine does. This is the
experience of more than forty years. DR..
