SON Of an EIIu~sriOH~ sire.

Recent advces from Texas give the
/ particulars Of terrible crime committed
III that State by a young Tenuessceau.
Among the passengers on the stage run
ming between Fort Worth and Jacksboro,
few days ago, We're Charles Gentry a
son of the Hon Meredith p. Gentry.
and a wealthy Missourian named Shire.
Gentry evinced considerable anxiety 10
establish intimate relations with Shire.
but his advances were in every instance
repulsed. BY sudden change of tactics,
Gentry attempted to bring about an al
tercation, but failed also in this, as the
other party seemed determined to avoid
trouble. Finally, an insulting cpithet
and a blow in the mouth brought the
Missourian to his feet, with the remark
that if Gentry wa spelling for a fight he
could step out on the road The driver
was ordered to stop, and the two dropped
and the team dashed off at full speed
One Of the passengers looked back and
saw Gentry, pistol in hand, bending over
Shire, who was stretched upon his back in
the road. When the team had run about
half mile, the passenger drew a bead on
the driver and threatened ID shoot him
through the hcaI unless he turned and
went back 10 Shires assistance When
they reached Shire he was breathing his

His pocket-book which was known to
have contained So, 800 in currency, and
his traveling-satchel were not to be found
Gentry had fed, after having robbed
the person ofhis victim. Though pursuit
was made soon afterward, the young
murderer succeeded in escaping into Mex

Gentry was born and reared on Stone
river, about nine miles from Nashville.
He went to Texas about year ago, and |
has been leading a wild, desperate life
a statement similar to that given
above, was made ts the (rexas) Com

the tragedy. lie expresses the opinion
that Gentry knew Shire had large

double crime was planned before the

The Revised Code Of 1857, and a spe-
cial Act of the Legislature of same year,
fixed the price :. for publishing in news
paper any advertisement, notice or cita
ton required by law to be published in
newspaper, sixty ceats per squire Of
twelve lines, for the first insertion, and
thirty cents per square for each succeed
ing insertion" This was very generally
objected to by the press OF the State );
and by an Act approved Nov 30, 1898,
the compensation was increased TO one
dollar per square for first Insertion, and
fifty cents for each subsequent insertion.
BY the same Act the = spur. was re-
duced to ten lines, instead Of twelve
The Code of 1857 allowed tbs publisher
fifty cents for making proof, and the otf-
Ger for administering oath and comparing
advertisement with files OF paper, fifty
cents. There has been 10 legislation
since 1858 affecting the rate fixed by
the Legislature Of that year, 50 that the
rates which a publisher can legally
charge, are as follows:
One square, first insertion -. .....S1.O0
Each subsequent insertion............. 30
Making proof Of pubheation......... 100
The Conservative Press Association,
a few years since, fixed the price Of legal
advertising, as follows:
One square, first inserton,...-......-Sl.5 80
Each additional insertion ............. 70
Many publishers have charged accord
ingly, but tits questionable whether attor
neys aud clients can be forced to pay
more than the price fixed by law. Pub
fishers have the privilege, Of course, Of
refusing to insert except upon such terms
as each may deem remunerative, but re-
ceiving the advertisement for insertion
commits them 10 an acceptance Of the
rate established by law in such cases
When journal IS designated 'by law" to
do the advertising for a certain county or
district, and the proprietor accepts the
Commission as Public Printer for such
county or counties, he thereby assents
to the rate Of compensation established
by law, and cannot legally charge ahigher
rate

The Position of the Western DE
mocFacy--Ehe New Departure.

Our readers will remember that in a
recent paper, we published a report OF a
conversation with a Norther Nisitor-a
gentleman from Wisconsin-wh dropped
in to see us while on a tour through the
Southern States The Racine Wisconsin,
Argus, "A Democratic paper, copies our
report, with this preface:
The Northern Visitor alluded to by
THE CLARION, is Ir. G.. j. True, of our
city, who has been on a tour of observa-
ton in the Southern States. Mr.. True,
in his conversation with the editors Of
THE CLARION, correctly defined the posi-
tons OF the members Of the Democratic
Party in the Western States
Now in order to show ''the position
which was endorsed as correctly defined
we will re-publish the following extract
from the original report:
He says the political situation in the
West is undergoing a complete revolution.
The masses are bent on reform. He point
ed to the election in his own State Of Wis
consin, a. an example. Il had come like
an 6arbDq 10 DOiD % int 'l'l tAl>ttt4E
orders The Reformers went into the con
test without the prestige Of a single victo-
ry, and scarcely the forms Of organization,
and in disregard Of the wishes of party
leaders on both sides, and had swept the
State like Il prairie on fire. He said that
Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Indi-
ana, etc, ETC. would follow the example
of Wisconsin, in the coming Congression
al elections for which the M0nop0-
lists are already marshalling their forces.
Speaking as former Douglas Democrat,
he has become convinced that in all this
vast section Of country, the masses were
intent upon a change of administration,
but they were not willing to effect the
object by throwing one old party aside to
pat in It's place another which had lest its
popularity, and for many reasons had
become Objectionable. The Democrats,
he said, would not insist on keeping their
etfete organization in the way Of the new
movement of deliverance, and the Repub-
lican advocates of Reform would fall IN
with it, 1t was a peoples movement
which could not be resisted because it had
originated from the necessities of the
times and the requirements of the country
He asked Us to look out for the fall cleo
tons and see what we could see, and We
promised him we would.

1t has been published far and wide that
Judge Brown, of this Circuit Court Dis
trict, discharged the grand jury Of War
rem county recently, because it had been
corrupted A similar case has occurred
in the 9th District, Judge Orr
from the West Point Times.
District Attorney Whitfield, moved
the Court to discharge the gran.l jury i'm
panneled by the Board OF Supervisors
and summoned by the Sheriff, for the fol-
lowing reasons, which we find IN the Ma
con Beacon:
First: Because two of the persons sum
moned were directly related u persons
against whom serious charges we're to be
preferred before the Grand jury, the one
being the father Of man who was recog-
nized in heavy bond to appear 10 an
swer a charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill; the father, also, being his
surity, and a man over sixty years Of age,
and not liable to jury service. The other,
a cousin Of a man against whom charge
! of murder was to be investigated by the
Grand jury.
Secondly, Because two other persons
50 summoned, were public officers of the
county, one being an acting Justice Of the
Peace. and the other, uperindtendent Of
Public Roads and Bridges, and ex-mem-
/ Der Of the Board of Supervisors.
Thirdly, Because it appeared from the
I face Of the summons, and records of the
Board of Supervisors, the selection OF
/ Grand Jurors bad not been made accord
/ ing 10 law.
After hearing the evidence and argu-
ments Of members Of the bar, Judge Orr
sustained the motion, ordered the venlre
70 be squashed, and directed the Sheriff
to summon twenty good and lawful men
! 10 serve as Grand Jurors, to appear on
/ Tuesday morning at o'clolk.

The CfaaucelIOrship OF the Enter
prise EIected-.EudGe Evans

We thought all classes of our people,
Republicans and Democrats, had fixed
eyes upon Judge Evans, of Enterprise,
whose fame as a lawyer has travelled the
bounds of Mississippi, as their mex. Chan
ceIl0r.
While Judge Evans is not an avowed
Republican, it is well known that he, in
company with hundreds of the best men
of the country, the writer not excepted,
preferred Ames. for Governor, to Alcorn.
And according to the construction of a
portion of the Democratic press-in re-
fusing to support Alcorn, supported
Ames.
Hence, with the Democratic collar ia
ken off at Meridian, it may be as the
Gazette" says, the Ames Republicans
claim Judge Evans.
As matters now stand our people will
not look 50 much to the party as to the
man. -Shubuta Times.

Gen. Hood

During a recent interview with thi.
distinguished Confederate, Mai. Engle-
hard of the Wilmington, North Carolina,
journal, obtained the following informa
ton:
He is preparing a reply to such portions
of General Johnston's narrative as re-
fleets upon his conduct of the campaign.
The reply will be published first as a Sc
ries of newspaper articles in the New Or
leans papers, and afterwards in pamphlet
form. There was no braye r man nor more
gallant soldier in the Confederate army
than General Hood, and his vindication of
himself will be read with great interest
throughout the country.
1t is not probable that Gen Johnston,
after getting up this scandalous contro-
versy over the grave of the Confederaey,
among its chiefs, to the infinite regret of
the people whose dearest hopes were bur
led with it, will come out of the controversy
with laurels as fresh as when he commenced
it.

The Southern Pacific Railroad.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The Southern Pacific Railroad, of
which Col Thomas A. Scott is the Pre-
si1ent, proters to Congress and the gov
eminent infinitely more advantages and
securities than were offered by the Union
and Central Pacific His line crosses a
more fertile and populous region. His
intermediate connections touch a differ
ent and not less interesting section. The
State of Texas, lying between the Mis-
sissippi river and the territories, is itself
a vast treasure house of cotton and min
erals, and after he passes the Texas boun-
Diary there is no such desert as that which
lay between Omaha and San Francisco

projected. Texas itself is an empire
nearly nine hundred miles long from
