Our success exceeds our expectations.
The utmost good order has prevailed
throughout, with the exception of one
fight aud some drunkenness, though
there was not drukpn man seen on
the grounds during the fair.
About O'clock, IA Prof Seymour

cipitating him about % feet to the
ground. His right ankle aud foot are
seriously injured aud the back Of his
head badly cut. When we left he was

4 Suggestion for the County COUr, 80
Act Upon.

ACT upon.
Everybody knows that since the
adjustment Of the work house, our
officers, both State and municipal, are
sorely veXed what to do with offenders
against the law. The Recorder can
only impose a fine, and if the parties
thus fined can not pay or secure it,
they are let loose to prey again on our
community. The Justices Of the Peace
can send the offenders to Jail, where
they rest ten days, get well fed, and
come out and the county pays for the
fiddling.
Efforts have been made TO revive the
work house, but rs far as we know,
without success. There the matter
rests. 1t strikes us that an arrange
meut could be made which would save
the expense Of building a work house,
and still answer the same purpose.
The county is now repairing the Jail,
at a cost, as we understand, Of about
50 600. Very little more outlay would
put an additional story on the
building. The county still has the
cages of the old jail, which could be
made use Of, and that upper story
would answer for work house. Let
the sheriff, or jailor, get up a chain
gang, and put them to work on the
streets, or on the roads leading %
Knoxville. The expense of running
an iudeTendeul work house would be
saved thereby, and flour street loafers
and other offenders only would find
out that they are put in the chain
gang and set to work, they would grow
beautifully less, and our city
treasury would get more fines paid.

The total Liberal vote In Great Brit

The total Liberal vote In Great Brit
ain in 1868 was 718,3 1886. The total
conservative vote in that years was
63l, ,648. The total vote of the king
dom, therefore, was 1859, 9,9S4. The
Liberal majority was 96,688. In 1874
the Liberal vote was 756, 1856. The
Conservative vote was 690,732. The
total vote this year, therefore, was l.
447 ,I1S; and the Liberal majority
65, ,654. The population of Great Brit
ain in 1861 was 29,334,7i0. Assu-
ming that the present population of
Great Britain in 1861 was 20. .334, ITO
Assuming that the present population
of Great Britain is 35,000,000, which
is probably rot far out of the way, the
voters are one to every 25 Of population.
At the last Presidential election IN this
country TIE whole number of votes
cast was 6,43l, ,143. The total popula
ton being about 40 900, 900, the voters
are about one to every 6 of population
This comparison shows how large a
portion of British population is shut
out from the ballot.

Coal IN OHIo.-The coal area oi
Ohio equals that Of Great Britain, and
is six times greater than that Of Franco
Prussia or Austria, and about fou:
greater than that Of Spain. which has
a greater extent of coal territory than
any other nation on the continent.
Great Britain owes her greatness as a
commercial and manufacturing nation
10 this source of sTealsh aad power
though her minds are many hundred
fee. deep, and are worked with great
labor aud risk Of life.
At the rate the mines Of the state
now yield, the coal would not be ex
hausted in $1,000 years, or would
stand the present draft on all the
mines of United States fJr 4 $50
years or with yearly product equal
to that of the mines of Great Britain,
it would last 1000
These facts show that there is plenty
of coal in Ohio for some time to come,
waste it as We may and notwithstand-
ing the rapid increase in the consump-
tion.- Cincinnati Gazette.

and on the others, "Patriot and Ora
tor" The column was composed OF

while the top of the brokeo shaft bore
the initials, &C. S" This was the
gilt OF the Haytien Minister. Oppo-
site it was a magnificent cross, the
contribution of Mr.. Thomas Mack.
The whole structure was seven feet
high, the upper half being a heavy
cross of English ivy, the dark green
leaves set off with wreath and en-
twined cord Of variegated flowers
The lower half, which forms the base
is mass of ferns, intermingled with

Mr.. Sumners's Will.

A Washington telegram to the Phil
adelphia Press says that, in September
1872, just before Senator Sumner lef
for Europe, he wrote in his own hanc
his will. by which he bequeathed al
his papers, manuscripts and letter-books
to Henry W. Longfellow, Francis E.
Balch, and Edward l.. Pierce, as Trus.
tees; all his books and autographs to
the library of Harvard College; bis
bronzes to his friends of many years,
Henry W. Longfellow and DR.. Samuel
G.Howe. He gives to the City of Bos-
ton, for the Museum, his pictures and
engravings, except the picture Of the
Miracle of the Slave" which he be,
queathes to his friend, Joshua B.sSmith
of Boston. To Mrs Hannah Richmond
Jacobs, the on ly surviving sister of his
mother, he gives an annuity of $500.
There is a bequest of $4,000 to the
daughter Of DR.. Samuel G.. Howe, and
$4,000 to the daughter of James Fur

II ask them to accept this in token of

adds: "This bequest is made in flial

evening, to look over some old books

The New York Tribune alludes to
the defeat Of the Republican party in
New Hampshire in this wise: "Wes-
ton. the Opposition candidate for Gov
ernor, lacks a few hundred votes of a
majority over all, but will be elected
by the Legislature, the lower branch
of which is Democratic and Liberal by
a fair majority" etc. This is expand
ing the mantle of Liberalism to de.
gree Of thinness never before attained.
In the national campaign Of 1872 the
Liberal party did indeed attempt to
absorb the Democratic party, but was
itself absorbed The attempt, very
naturally was not renewed in New Hamp-
shire this yea. There were no
liberal voters, and consequently no
Liberal ticket. Nobody was voted for
as Liberal candidate for Governor,
or Senator, or Representative. Liber-
alism was not thought Of, or consider
ed, or talked about. Hence reference
to the Legislature of New Hampshire,
which will choose Weston for Governor,
as "Democratic and LiJeral," is an
exceedingly lame attempt to revive d
party which, if it ever lived, died on
the 4th Of November, 1872. There
are two parties in this country-she
Democratic party and the Republican
party. 1t always has been almost as
strong as the Republican party; but
it is, nevertheless, still: numerically
less than the Republican party, not
withstanding it has just achieved a
victory. Enough Republicans voted

A DESPERATE FIGHT WITH THE
Iowa TRAIN ROBBERS ST. LOUIS,
Mo, March 18.-The Democrat has
a special from Sedalia, Mo-, which says
reports have reached there that the
notorious Younger brothers, who are
supposed to have been engaged in the
Iowa railroad-sraln robbery some
months ago, were attacked yesterday
at Monaga Springs, St. Clair County,
this State, by party OF detectives,
and desperate conflict ensued, in
which one of the Younger brothers and
two detectives were killed.
Thomas Allen, President Of the Iron
Mountain Railroad, has received a
dispatch corroborating the Democrats
special regarding the fight between the
detectives and Younger brothers at
Wanagan Springs. The dispatches do
not state what detectives were engaged
in the affair, but it is supposed that
they were in the employ of Pinkerton,
of Chicago.
