small corner of the Enclosure. What
do YOU want TO raiser Cucumbers,

the other prisoners would steal them.

will not steal one Of them. Well, go
ahead. !" said the warden; ifany ofyour
cucumbers are stolen, don't come to me
with your complaints. You will never
hear from me on that score, sir. The
eucumbers were planted, watered'
trained and cultivated, and an immense
crop was the result. As fast, however,
as the fruit ripened it disappeared, and
the warden became convinced that the
owner sold it for liquor, produce, or some
other csntrabaDd article. He directed
that the man be watched, and finally be
was detected in the act Of carrying his
cueumbers to the hospital and giving
them to the poor fellows who in their
sickness crayed them. Not one had been
stolen.

THE PoOR-HoUsE.

We are glad for the sake OF humanity
and the name of our county that the
committee appointed by the Quarterly
Court 10 investigate the affairs OF the
noor.house was able to make rather
favorable report. The place has only
been occupied a little over year, and
has been repaired and improved in that
time to an extent that, with proper
management, will make it COM
Portable for the inmates, panpers as
well as lunatics. The commissioners
who have just retired, Esquires
Henry T. Jones, Sneed and Hoegel'
while not living on the ground, have spent
much of their time there, and by their
energy aud ;watchful care have done
mueh toward enlarglng and improving
the place. so as to render it commensu-
rate with the necessities of such large
and populous county as Shelby. They
nre gentlemen of integrity and high
standing, and we can not think they
were conscious of any abuses such as
recently charged. Other commissioners
have been elected; General Wallace,
we believe, is the chairman, and as be
lives in the immediate neighborhood he
viii doubtless give the institution large
share of personal attention. For the
future.we can say, without referring to
the past in any way, that the poor-house
will be well managed, and that no cause
Of complaint will be found.

Special Telegraphic Correspondence OF the
Courier-J Ournal.l
WASHINGTON, January l5.-The sub
ieet of the Chief Justiceship continues
TO be the engrossing topic among Sena-
tors. The unworthy feeling of malignity
AGAINST Cushing for his alleged ante
bellum Southern and Democratic pro.
clivities has not abated, and the talk OF
Senate Radicals is that they have put
stigma upon him which precludes his
going as Minister to SPAN.
COLONEL BRIsTOw's CHANCES.
MANY names have been spoken of for
Chief Justice since Cushings with
drawal, the most probable ones being
BristoW Curtis and Conkling. The
President showed his regard for General
Bristow by making him Attorney Cen
eral and would naturally like 20 give
him good position.
MOST PEoMIxENT LAWYERS CONSERVATIVE.
Judge Curtis pre-eminent ability is
undisputed, but he is too conservative
10 suit ultra Radicals, and It is generally
understood that the President means to
eonfne the appointment to his own party
friends. Mr.. Evarts does not seem promi-
nent because of his.conservative tenden-
cies and his connection with the impeach-
ment trial as defender of Andrew john
son, and it is doubtful if he or Mr.. Cur
tis could be confirmed. 1t is certain
that Mr.. Morton coald be confirmed,
and Mr.. Conkling and others are under
stood to have favored this appointment,
but the President declined to favor the
idea. The result Of the whole matter is
TO disclose the fact, stated some time ago
byone Of the Supreme Court Justices to
your correspondent, that there is hardly
any irstclass legal ability in the coun-
trv that is not Democratic, OF imbued
with conservative tendencies.
Mr.. coNKLNG.
In this strait, and resolved to have
some one who can pass an ordeal OF the
Senate, the President is believed to have
gone back to his first love, Mr.. Conkling,
Of New York. This gentleman was orig
inally rendered the position, but he de-
clined, as he preferred the Senate. II Is
believed by knowing ones that there Is
perfect understanding between Mr.. Conk-
ling and the President in regard 70 the
Presidential succession. Mr.. Conkhng
has gone to New York to consult, as
some say, relative to his acceptance OF
the place; and it is surmised that no
name will 90 into the Senate for Chief
Justice until Mr.. Conkling returns.
THE SPLIT IL THE RADICAL RANKS.
The present rebellion Of the Republi-
can Senators against Grant was not
wholly unexpected. Il has been brew
ing for some time, and is clearly the re-
me of dynastic aspirations. Il is be-
lieged that the quarrel was onl y preeipi-
tsfed BIZ these appointments Of Williams
snd Gushing. the Radical aspirants not

When a resolute spinster, possessing
taxable property, arises and demands
that she shall have something to say IN
local administration, it is rather embar-
RAISING to the persons Of whom she re-
quests that privilege. In a little Con-
necticut town, the other day, not one
but two Observation-Disclosures to the
annual town-mee ting at which the iarm-
ers of the neightornood were assembled,
and there requested to be heard con-
corning their farm, which they conduct
themselves. Permission was OF course
given, when one of them administered
to the gentleman present an exceeding
" bitter and indignant lecture. Sne
charged probably with truth, that their
property was taxed out of all proportion
to adjoining property, and that the road
in front Of their farm was left in a
shameful condition. There is not much
reason to doubt this angry womans
story. since even New Englanders are
possibly not free from an old tendency
among mankind to treat unjustly those
who have apparently no means OF re-
dress
