Taking his scarlet cloak, he flung it over his
shoulders, and left the hall amid profound
siience-a silence which continued after he had
Quilted the courtyard, and begun to descend
from Mount Zion to the labyrinth of streets
branching downward to the Tyropeon Valley.
In one of these, under bright moonlight, he
met again that same bean tifui youth whom he
had seen in the morning when he was descend
| ing the Mount of Olives.
"Stay!' cried Paulus, suddenly stopping ir
his own rapid walk. Said you not this
morning, that he who was called John the
Baptist was more than prophet Herod
has this moment slain him, to please q vile
woman. The tyrant has sent the holy prophet
out of life"
".Nay; into life" replied the other John:
"but, brave and noble Romau-for 1 see you
are both-the Master, who knows all things,
and rejoices that John has begun to live,

"Why grievesp' inquired Paulus, musing.

"What, then, is he 7" asked Paulus with a
look of awe.
:" He is the Christ, whom John the Prophet

Hereupon the two went their several ways

But, really, he had ceased to care for minor
condolences in huge mass of convergent
proofs all gaining possession of his soul, and
taking alike his will and his understanding

CHAPTER XIV,

That night the palace of Herod the tetrarch
resounded with music, and all the persons of
rank or distinction in Jerusalem were among
the guests. The entertainment would have
been remembered for years on account of it's
brilliancy it was destined to be remembered
for all ages, even till the day of doom, on ac-
count of it's catastrophe, chronicled in the
books of God, and Craven in the horror of
men.
Paulus, unusually grave, because experience
ing un~onted sensations, and anxious calmly
to analyse them, was assaulted for the first time
in bis life by a feeling of nervous irritability,
which originated (though he knew it not) in
his having suppressed the natural desire to
chsstise the insolence of Caiaphas that morn
ing. he sat distracted and silent, not far
from the semi-royal chair of Herod the
tetrarch His magnificent dress, well.earned
military fame, and manly and grave beauty

period of life, though the gloss of youth was
past) had drawn toward him during the even
ing an unusual amount of attention, of which
he was unconscious, and to which he would
have been Indifferent.

A Columbia correspondent of the
Union and American gives a very ex-
travagant account of little affair that
occurred here last Tuesday night. BE
tried to make riot out of the affair.
Says this Munchausen: "At this writing,
ll:30, every man and boy who is able to
shoulder gun is looking out for the
would-be murderers, and mounted men
are coming in from the country every
minute" This highly colored story was
not sent by Mr.. Yoest, the regular cor
respondent of the Union and american,
but was sent from the Depot There was
no attempt at instruction, nor were our
people SO foolishly alarmed as they are
represented in the telegram. Mr.. Ed.
Wilson came across some negroes steal
ing corn and was badly used up by them,
but that it is about all there is of it.
Correspondents should not send off such
startling runners, without ascertaining
their truthfulnsss.

Our Candidate for FIoatcr.

The paragraph below in regard to the
candidate Williamson has put out for US
for Floater is from the Franklin ReUietC.
We are glad our contemporary is able TO
say so much in his behalf We have
hoisted Mr.. Toon name to our mast
head, but in doing so we have exercised
faith-trusting that he is sound on all the
points, and can stand fat-footed on the
platform erected at Nashville last week
especially on the fourth plank. The
Revie10 says:
Mr.. B. B. Toon, the nominee for Float
er from this county and Maury, is one o.
our oldest and best Justices of the Peace.
For years he has been leading member
of the Quarterly Court. In the Legisla-
ture he will make glorious worker in
the committee room, where the most of
the work of legislation is done He lives
near MillVue, and is a farmer. In his
young days he was a frst-class school
teacher To the county of Maury we can
say, that although he is not a brilliant
orator, there is not in the two counties, a
cleverer, purer, or more laborious and
palns-taking gentleman.

Ok Wednesday, August 10Th, the Dem
ocratic State Convention met at Nash
vile. There was a full representation OF
the Democrats and Conservatives of the
State. 1t was an enthusiastic and har-
monious convention. The platform is
truly and purely democratic, as the prop
er work of Democratic convention.
The platform was constructed without
regard to individuals; the convention
stuck to the democratic motto, "Princi
pies, not Men, The platform has no
claptrap about it; was not made to en-
dorse any particular name or man S
views; nor for the purpose OF excluding
any particular man, or attacking any par
ticular mans views. 1t is simply dem
ocratic platform, on which every demo
crat can stand. There can be but two
parties in this State. The line is very
distinct every man take his stand on
one or the other side of the line. Out on
every man who tries to straddle the line,
Those who are not for us we want to take
their stand against us. We want to know
where they are. We want to know
whether or not a man is in favor of negro
social equality and civil superiority. If
he is in favor of the negro ruling, let
him say so. We are bound to have par
ties. and party organization; and the peo-
pie of this country are arrayed in two
grand parties. Every man zho takes
any effective part in politics, must stand
with the one that best suits him. And
every man of decided character will take
sides, The mao Who attempts to play the
Independent is simply waiting or the
fence to see on which side the bull comes
up. To make the canvass effective and
successful, the party in every county
must be thoroughly organized. The effect
of party organization is shown by the
August triumph of the Democracy in
Shelby county. In January :5e mo par
ty" man was badly beaten for Mayor by q
Radical In August the democratic par
ty was thoroughly organized, and carried
the election by majority of over four
thousand. Let the Democratic executive
committee appoint subcommittee for
every district in the county. Let us, as
in old times make straight party fight.
If we do this all over the State, we will not
only carry the State election, but Tennes-
see viii be represented in the next Cor
gress by Democrats.

Hon. Gustavus A. Henry, chairman of
the Democratic State Convention last
week, spoke but the words of truth and
soberness when he said State could get
no lower in shame and ruin after it re-
pudiates its honest debts. That dis
tinguished gentleman also spoke wisely
when he said that if the entire burden of the
State and county tax was lifted from the
shoulders of the people of Tennessee, the
diminution of weight would scarcely be
felt. By an accurate calculation, it is
ascertained that every average man pays
for himself and family 1927 government
tax on $500 worth Of articles they are
compelled to use, such as clothes, drugs,
etc. Our State tax on the same amount,
$500, is only $l4.9O. Two hundred and
twenty-five dollars and fourteen dollars
and eighty cents-what a differences
And yet Our people fuss about the $l4.8O,
and never say a word about the $4,000.
There is no escaping the U. S. tax, as it
is so searching that the very poorest man
in the country pays bis part while the
State tax falls mainly on the rich class,
those ablest to bear it, The Cincinnati
Commercial suggests that if the govern
ment tax we're imposed only on such arti-
cles as the wealthy use, or can afford to use
it would cease TO burden the poor classes
as it now does. Or if We had nc tariff,
and direct tax levied on the support
of the government, and this tax levied
on no one who has not two thousand
dollars income, the poor people who
would escape, and thus the tax would
cease to be great burden to US. But
being a tax upon the necessaries of life,
there is no way in which the citizen,
though never so poor, can avoid or escape
payingit. No man can do without hats
and coats, boots and shoes, blankets and
sheets, sugar or salt And the worst of ii
is, that the more of a family he has to
support, the heavier is the tax the Gov
eminent imposes upon him. Every ad-
ditional child to feed and eiothe adds to
his expenditure, and in direct proportion
to his expenditure Is his taxation in
creased. Thus it comes to pass that 8
laboring man with family of six children
will actually be compelled to pay for the
support of Government from five to ten
times as much as the wealthiest bachelor
millionaire, vino Las only himself to sup
port.

Nowhere have we seen more truth In
the same number of words than in the
sententious utterances of ]. B. Killebrew
at Bellbuckle last week. he said that many
people ascribe our depressed condition
to the State taxes. We pay the general
government ten times as much money
as we pay our State. Nepay five times
as much for the whisky we drink, seven
times as much as profits to the Northern
manufacturer, and five times as much for
the luxury of keeping dogs. The State
tax is a mere bagatelle. Remit it all,
and the relief would scarcely be percep-
tible. The State debt amounts to only
one.nineteenth of our real and personal
property, or $50 for every thousand we
own, while we have forty years to pay a
large portion of it. Reputation would
be moral death and financial ruin. 1t is
to the commercial what infdelity is to
the Christian world. 70 violate the
plighted faith of the State would throw
US back half century, and deter men
from investing capital in our midst. 1t
would prove more disastrous in the end
than all the drouths, hurricanes, inunda.
tions and earthquakes, that ever swept
over the State.

JUDGE GUILD, of the Sumner {

JUDGE GUILD, of the Sumner circuit
court, has just decided that railroad
property is not exempt from taxation in
Tennessee. His points are:
First-That the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad company, by its charter,
was not exempt from taxation.
Secop{-That it was subject to taxa.
ton under the revenue law of 1873
Third-That the shareholders might be
taxed, and that did not exempt the CAPT
tai or road-bed fixtures and rolling-stock
from taxation.
Fourth-That the question of the va
lidity Of the subscription to the Cumber-
land and Chic RAILROAD company, or the
validity of the bonds issued, could not
be raised in this cause; that the question
was not one in teri, but was not one al
ready passed upon by the county authori-
ties, and could not be raised in such a
cause.
In conclusion, be dismisses the entire
proceedings, and the petitioners appealed
to the supreme curt.
