TO DO away with crime it must be
promptly punished. The laws delay
and the many loopholes Of escape for
the guilty, encourage the commission
Of crime. The escape Of one murder
er from the hands Of justice raises up
two others, and so Of every other yio-
latiou Of criminal law. If courts are
so trlmmelled by technicalities and
special pleadings that they can not
punish the guilty, the hand of reform
must be laid upon them.

STEALING A DRAMATIC COMPANY
We have been for nearly twenty years
a wanderer, having in that time made
two voyages to the Coast of Africa,
travelled over Northern, Central and
South America, served four years and
4 half under Juarez in Mexico, was
for time Chief of staff for Guzman
Blanco and afterward commanded a
brigade of cavalry under Lopez in
Paraguay, S. A. Once worked our way
from Liverpool to the U. S. on board
packet ship, and, in all that time
while we have heard of horse stealing,
bank robbery, highway robbery and
almost every form of stealing, it has
been reserved for Mr. Geo. II. Ring to
give US the first example of stealing a
dramatic company. Not content with
this be committed wilful perjury in
swearing out warrant for our arrest
and then on our return, conscious that
he could not support one single charge
that he had made, clandestinely left
town. OF this CT deUaRt Yankee Quar-
tcrmaster and whiom cobbler we have
nothing mote to say. We would sim
ply advise him after getting through
with our dramatic company (Which as
we before remarked he stole from us)
to secure the services ofsome first class
washerwOman to cleanse, as far as may
lay 10 his power, his character, and
then returning to the classic shades of
Bellefontaine, Ohio, resume his cob
bler's bench. With this our parting
wish We add a Jos Ring.

IT is evident from the tone Of lead
ing bard money organs that tney de-
rive little hope from their triumph in
Ohio, aud that there is, underlying all
their comments, lurking conviction
that the people are fast seizing upon
the Democratic idea OF the currency
question. They read in the signs of
the times the growing determination
Of the producing and laboring masses
to wipe out the national banks, as cost
ly middlemen between the Treasury
aud the people, to substitute green
backs for their notes and to postpone
resumption until government and peo-
plea ready for the change. Perhaps it
was unwise in the Ohio canvassers to
stretch the platform so as to make 1t
cover any other issues connected with
the currency. The gold basis, SO
strenuously insisted upon by the hard
money advocates, should have no pres
ent connection with the three issues
just indicated, because resumption,
without ruin, will be utterly impracti-
cable for years to come, and, in the
meantime, it can do no harm to await
the developments of time and expert
ence. What good can it do to argue
whether the future currency shall be
based upon gold or the faith of the
country? Neither question can be
settled until honest aud wise govern
ment shall have restored general pros
perity. The Radicals can not, without
ruin to the party and country, resume
in 1879, and the Democrats can reform
nothing until they get into power, aud
during the struggle it may not be true
policy to reach too far into the future
when present wrongs are awaiting APP
propriate redress. No matter which
theory may be the true one, the ques-
ton must remain an open one until OPP
portunity is given to try it by the test
of experiment.

A Tennesseean Under the Khedive.


We learn on good authority that DR..
T. D., johnson, of Clar ksville, whose
appointment to position as surgeon
in the army of Egypt we noticed some
time ago, has arrived in the land of
pyramids, and gone at once on duty.
DIR. johnson is a son of that rigid old
Democratic statesman, Hon. Cave
johnson. He served for four years in
the Confederate army, and, returning
with the rank of a private soldier and
the record Of a gallant man; always at
his post, he devoted himself assiduOus-
ly TO the study Of his profes ion, first
at the University of Virginia, and af=
forwards at Baltimore and New York.
He was Just beginning to reap the
fruits of his labor, at GAINESVILLE, when
be received his appointment. On his
arrival in Egypt he was almost at once
placed on duty as Surgeon General pro
TEN, in the absence of DR.. Warren,
who is absent in Paris on account OF
his health, This brings DIR. johnson,
on the staff of the Khedive and places
him in the very best position for future
advancement. As man of most seru-
pulous honor, high attainments and
culture, and uudapntcd courage, we
shall expect that he will be heard of
hereafter, and that he will honor his
native State as well as serve well his
adopted country. We may say for the
benefit of those who desire service in
the Egyptian army, that it took DR..

LETTER FROM McALLISTERS.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The wolves made
night hideous with their howlings last
Saturday night. About half past eight
o'clock, while / was reading the
CHRONICLE, was disturbed by their
noise and went to the door. | think
from their noise, there must have been
four or five of them, and they were IN
three or four hundred yards of the
house. Sunday night they were howl
ing around Thomas Batson's house.
We are fearful that they will soon be-
gin to attack our fattening hogs in the
pens, and with view of getting rid of
them, we are getting up "WolfClub. "
The articles OF the Club are such that
only members thereof will receive
compensation for wolf scalps, and the
wolf must be killed within the territory
living on the Southside of Cumberland
river, the line running from point on
said river east of Charlotte to point
on Yellow Creek, then down said creek
to its mouth. Any member of the
Club killing a wolf must present the
scalp at J. n. Blackford's store, to-
gether with certificate that the wolf
was killed within the above boundaries,
and will then receive compensation,
which will be determined by the num-
Der of members, probably between
twenty-five and fifty dollars. This ar
rangement goes into effect November
18th and will remain in force for SIX
mouths, or until ten wolves are killed.
Since writing the above, Mr.. james
X. Raimey killed black female wolf
The wolves made raid on his sheep
killed one and wounded another. Mr.
Raimey went out to his sheep lot and
shot the wolf, wounding him, when the
wolf ran off. This was bout II clock
at night. The next morning he track
ed the wolf by his blood, got his dog.
on the trail, and ran it about sever
miles. The hounds caught the wolf
when Mr.. Raimey came up to assist il
killing him. He paid no attention tC
the dogs, but made at him. Havin!
emptied his gun, he had to defenG
himself with the breech. when he sue.
ceeded in killing the wolf.
