M We have more unpala-
table results Of the action of the
Supreme Court in the Jordan
Holt case. Jesse Woodson,
Icolored, who was accused Of
killing Mrs. William Jarratt, a
popular and amiable lady of
Rutherford county, on the 10Th
of June last, was taken from
the Murfrecsboro Jail last Thurs
day night by about fifty noun
ted men, and hanged. This
mob spirit must be stamped out.
The character for lawlessncss--
! the bad name-that almost in
variably follows the commission
of such popular deeds of blood,
is not confined to the locality
where the outrage is committed
the whole State suffers. In
this case, the ''bloody shirt" will
not be shaken alone over Ruth
CT ford county--peaceable, law
abiding communities like Lin
coin county Will feel thepressurc.
Woodson, probably, was guilty.
although the proof made pub
lie was not conclusive. If he
acas guilty, the fact would have
been shown on the trial, and
there would then have been am
pie time for public interference,
if an effort were made by high
dignitaries to thwart the de-
mands of justice.

The Cost of Living.

The New York Times, which
devotes special attention TO so.
cial topics, has been making i
careful review of the cost Of
living at present as compared
with two years ago. The results
Of its Investigations are as fol-
lows: "Since the panic of 1873
the cost of living in New York
has undoubtedly decreased, the
various essentials of housekeep-
ing and of the family now be-
ing considerably less in value
than then. To show exactly
what change has been made in
this particular, various facts
have been collected and are
given below. They indicate,
what perhaps is apparent that
the average Of people are living
moro economically than former
ly, that business is moro careful
ly conducted, and that the ten
dency is towards cheaper scnsi-
BILE habits of life. In the matter
Of rents there has been on the
whole a marked reduction, al
though certain localities have
held their own. The demand
has increased for middle-class
houses, while first-class only
have suffered, the rent having
fallen about twenty-five per
cent. In the matter of clothing
there is something Of a differ
cnt showing. The reduction
has been not upon high priced
goods, of which the importation
has decreased, but upon the me-
dunn and poorer qualities.
as much is paid for food
as two years ago. Taking
these several branches of ex-
penditures into account, the
net reduction of family expen-
ses is about one-fifth, provided
the standard of living remains
the same as two years ago.

Life rose SO high in some lives, we must
not say that in other lives they are even at

mark and its tidal wave in every human
