KULLMAN, who attempted to assassin
ate Prince Bismarck, has been convicted
and sentenced to fourteen ye RS impris-
onment. From the beginning of his
trial it was clear that nothing else was
possible or proper. His confession was
made with every appearance of cool cal
culation, and it is not difficult to imagine
that he planned the murder with equal
deliberation. He showed singular abb
sence of moral restraint, while the medi-
cal testimony is startling proof of the
pernicious influence which religious i'm
pulses may sometimes have upon NOR
bid character.

NJ LAW.
From the Pulaski Citizen, April 2

TTOA Ine HulaSkl Cltzen, Apru u
Apropos of the recent insinuation of
the NASHVILLE UNION AND AMERICAN
that Lebanon, Tenn, took the lead of
Tennessee towns In allowing crime to 60
UNPUBLISHED, and the subsequent ac-
acknowledgement of the Lebanon Herald
that such was indeed the case, we think
it proper to call the attention of our
people, and people of other sections of
the country, to the mode and manner
of the enforcement of law In Pulaski
and Giles county. We do not know Of
an instance in the post-bellum history
of Pulaski where the majesty of the
law has not been upheld, or where a
public officer neglected his official duty
to the detriment of the community.
Although Pulaski has the credit of
originating the Kuklux Khan; and de-
servedly, if there is any credit in it; yet
when that organization assumed law
less attitude it was no longer known IN
our midst. We are awar that some
instances Of fragrant violations of law
have occurred In Giles county that have
gone UNPUBLISHED, but we have yet to
hear of a law-breaker escaping punish
ment through any neglect of pub lie Of
icers, on the other hand always escap-
ing.by yrecipitate flight or throughlaw
techniealities. Especially has this law
abiding spirit prevailed with our peo-
pie and this efficiency of public officers
been peculiar to ofice-holders during
the term of the corps of gentlemen who
now occupy public places of trust, and
this fact speaks volumes not only for
our people as a community and our Of
fcers, but it is a mighty inducement
to persons seeking homes In Tennessee
to select Giles county on account
of this p~eaceable state of things. TIE
officers who now hold IN Giles county
are all, so far as we know, gentlemen of
strict standing in their communities
and are noted for efficiency. But in
speaking thus of them we do not wish
to be understood as advocating their
reelection in the next August cleo
ton, for while we accord to them a
willingness and ability to execute the
laws and perform the the various duties
pertaining to their offices seyerally, yet
there are others In our midst equally
as reliable and competent, and who
will give satisfaction if elevated to
Office. Neither do we wish to be un-
derstoood as advocating a complete or
partial displacement of those holding
Office, nor classed with those who blind
ly hold to the opinion of "rotati on in
Offices" but what we are in favor
of, and what we insist upon, and what
must be brought about by our people,
is, we must either retain those now in
Office or make a united effort to fill
their places by others equally as eff
Gent.

LAND MASKING

One of the greatest objections to our
farming operations in this country is
the tendency of our rich soil to wash
off and rapidly deteriorate IN fertility.
Another misfortune is the indifference
with which many farmers treat this i'm
pOrtant subject. 1t is plain to any OBJ
serving mind that a field of rich, fer
tile soil will yield double the amount of
one that has been thus neglected, and
suffered other m~alpractices. l have in
my mind now the case of a so-c1lled
farmer who allowed an old roadway, a
quarter of a mile in length, to wash SO
deep that a plough could hardly cross
1t, when ten minutes work with a spade
would have prevented 1t. And often
We so large, impossible bitches form
through valuable land, with no effort
to stay the fearful waste. This, with
fearful voice, verifes the old saying, ga
stitch in time saves nine.
A few hints in regard to remedies
are In order. First. the land can be
plowed so as to help the ease by run
ming the burrows c~rosswise of the rills.
L prefer ito have the water flow in
straight rills at regular intervals, and
to prevent these from washing deeper,
back corn-stalks, large green weeds,
fine straight brush, etc, in the bottom,
and allow the grass and weeds to grow
in these bitches. Thus the water has
something to wear on, and with a little
care much soil can thus be saved. But
the best manner to preserve the fertili-
ty of the soil is, as any intelligent
farmer knows, TO seed down to grass,
especially %clOvers, not forgetting the
Importance of the proper use of ma
nure.-COr. Western Fdrmer.

A WAR CASE.
A Radical Judge, a Radical Jury, and
a Radical Verdict.

shuhCN
From the Bristol News, April q.
On Friday of last week, the case OF
Peter Yoakley VS.. John Hawley, Geo.
Galloway, Adam Bowery and F. NJ.
Wolfe, came up for trial at Jonesboro,
before Judge Gillenwaters, and a jury
of Washington county, Tenn. The
suit was for 40 boxes of tobacco, taken
from Yoakley's store house six miles
South of Blountville, by w. p. Hunt,
chief enrolling officer of Sullivan coun-
ty, and a squad of men under order of
Col. John T. Terry. commanding post
at Bristol in October, 1864. Yoakley
had left home and joined the Federal
army-at least he so admitted in the
pleadings. After the tobacco was
taken, the parties taking it sent an
officer and two men to John Hawley's
house, three miles from Yoakley's, and
impressed his wagon and team, and
driver, a negro boy. After they had
taken his wagon, team and driver,
John Hawley followed on to look after
his wagon, team and driver. His
9 was loaded With Yoakley's to-
bacco, John Hawley putting n box
into the wagon, by order of w. P.
Hunt, and the next day driven bylaw
ley himself to Bristol, and, under Or
der of Hunt, turned over to the Con-
federate States authorities-and Haw-
ley returned home with his wagon and
team. The proof showed that John
Hawley went along to take care of his
$500 o~1 foam nz 1,1 To rrf1-J t.,
and others, whose wagons and teams
were impressed by the same parties,
and for the same purpose.
There was no proof connecting Jno.
Hawley with the taking, beyond that
above stated. He vas a private in the
Home Guards at the time, and all the
other defendants were in the Confeder-
ate service.
The proof showed that Hunt went to
Yoakley's, acting under the order
above mentioned. The order itself was
produced on the trial, identified by Col.
Terry, who stated that he issued it
that the tobacco was taken, Carried to
Bristol, turned over to @. S. authori-
ties, and destroyed in December follow
ing, by Stoneman's raid.
John Hawley was the responsible de-
fendant-and strange to say the Jury
returned a verdict, acquitting Bowery.
Galloway and Wolfe, who were along
with Hurt all the time, but finding
John Hawley guilty, and assessed dam
ages against him for $4,000.
This a only be accounted for, upon
the hypothesis that the war is still pro-
crossing IN Washington county, Tenn,
and they are operating upon the Andy
Johnson rownlow programme of 'ma-
king treason odious and impoverishing
rebels"
The case had been twice removed
from Sullivan to Garter county by
change of venue and last to Washing
ton county where it was finally tried.

TREATNfENr OF MANrRE

have read the articles appearing
lately on the manur question, and will
give my method of caring for it. The
stables are cleaned out every morning,
the manur being thrown out and scat
tered along the front of the stable,
which Is so feet front, with three doors
from the stabhng; as the caves are fur
nlshed with cutters, no water falls on
the manure, except the direct rainfall,
nor does any water run to it from land
above the cattle tramp it, and / find it
requires the direct rainfall and tramp
ing to keep it from firing and to de-
compose it. 1t is hauled to the fields
any time during the winter, and scat
tered on grass land. l have no trouble
at all with it. There is plenty of straw
and fodder, and a liberal quantity finds
its way out with the manure, which
keeps the out cattle busy picking and
tramping-COuRtry Gentleman.
