Mrs. Hunt, travelling lectures. in a
temperance address. delivered in Indiana
polls, last Sudday night, said: "A man
named Elliott. i'm Orio, cut his wife's
head off, with an AK. and the papers
scarcely mentioned the fact. while they
heralded the fact all over the land, that a
woman had struck a aloon-keeper. with

it rarely happens that woman strikes a

w The proposition of President
Grant that Congress should appropri-
ate n large area of the pnblic lands for
the purpose of establishing University
in Washington is not likely to COM
mend itself to public favor. Senator
Pratt of Indiana has introduced a bill
intended to give effect to the Presi-
dents suggestion; but in the present
temper of the people Congress will
hardly dare to vote away large area
of the public lands for a project which
receives no support from any one who
is regarded AS an authority on educa-
tiOnal matters, and the evident pnr-
pose of which is to benefit the rascally
real estate Ring which controls public
affairs in the District of Columbia ut
the expense of the people of the whole
country. The simple truth is that q
large proportion of the grants of pub
lie lands for educational purposes in
the past have been perverted to the
enrichment Of spectators, and it is
time that stop was put to the job
berry arising from such subsidies. In
Arkansas. for instance the trustees of
the Arkansas University have man
aged to grab the whole OF the endow-
ment fund arising from Congressional
laud grant, under the pretence that
the money is to be applied to the erec-
tion OF a magnificent edifice, not yet
built, and which it is not likely ever
will be. Bnt though this grard edifce
is not in existence, the University is
in operation, paying enormous salaries
to professors. The freshman class
numbers sixteen, eight of whom are
residents of Fayetteville, the site of
this pretentious University, which also
has a preparatory department where
the infants of Fayetteville are instruc-
ted in the mysteries of the alphabet.
Before any more public lands are Civ
en- away for educational purposes it
would be we'll for Congress to ascer-
tain how much of the money derived
from the grants hitherto made has
been used for the purposes it was in
tended to aid, and with what results.

1t is with a feeling of relief and
heartfelt thankfulness that we note the
brief dispatch announcing peace re-

some time past, the daily news has
been Of such character as 10 compel
attention to the incipient evils
which the mere hope of Civil
Rights has bred. We earnestly hope
other like disturbances are not brew
ing, SO that the people may be able to
turn their minds to other important
topics not so exciting. 1t is easy to
surmise. after the danger is passed.
that few determined men might have
bluffed the Austin negroes without IN
voking outside aid. 1t is easy to say
the peace might have been preserved
by barrisading the jail and imprisonlng
an innocent man indefinitely,
IN the face Of overwhelming
numbers thirsting for his blood. The
United States of 1870 reports only

70 this. we remember that the enraged
blacks defed the influence Of their
white leaders, to whom they are usual
gv so docile. and that women and chill
dren were in hourly danger of death
and worse. the presumption is reason
able that discretion was the better hall

THE jury in a recent trial at Nottingham,
England, showed an amusing degree Of
stupidity. The prisoner was charged with
obtaining money under false pretenses, and
very strong evidence was given against
him. The case having been summed up
to them the jury, after consideration, said:
ave find he has done wrong, but
we recommend him to mercy" The Judge
wished to know whether they found the
prisoner guilty or not guilty, and ''the jury
were understood TO say that they found
him not guilty, but recommended him TO
mercy" This verdict was, it appears, re-
ceived with ''some laughter" and his lord
ship having explained to the jury that a
recommendation 10 mercy was an unneces-
sary appendage to an acqGittal, they retired
from the cont to consider this explanation.
In an incredibly short time they had mas
tered it, and returned into court with
verdict of not guilty.

Wright, of Shelby, who has been favor

views on State matters. He declares
for uniform assessment, avoiding
double taxation. Land should not bear
the whole burden. The heavy penalties
incurred under the present assessment
law should be RENTED. State expen-
SEES can and should be reduced. He
favors maintaining the faith and credit
of the State, holding with us that this
can be done without any increase IN the
rate of taxation. He favors railroad
legislation by the State, wherever neces'
sary; opposes the national banking sys'
