Miss Gertrude Pillow, daughter Of General
Gideon Pillow, of Memphis, shot a bear near
Old Town landing, Arkansas, last week. The
young lady was attended by youth named
Charles Mitchell, brother Of Captain John IL.
Mitchell. Bruin received two loads from a
double bsrreled shotgun, and, turning over
with a sigh, somewhat akin to a growl, quietly
breathed his last. He was Of very large size,
and the steaks were juicy and nice.
On wednesday evening terrible accident
occurred from the reckless use of firearms, re-
sulting in the death of Miss Molie Jones, of
Milan, Tennessee. Her brother William, on
coming into the house the same morning, took
derringer pistol from his pocket, and, in
presence of his sisters, MoIlie and Fannie,
drew the charge from the pistol and retired to
bed, having been up all the night previous at
ball. His sisters in playful manner pro
cured some percussion caps and commenced
swapping them with the weapon. After some
time a younger prOther came in, and seeing
the pistol proceeded to load it with ball and
cartridge with the expectation of riding out
some short distance after night fall. He mad
vertantly left the loaded pistol on bureau in
ono Of the rooms Of the heuse, and the youug
ladies, seeing the weapon apparently in the
same condition as they had left it while anus
ing themselves, thought that the swapping of
caps would give additional enjoyment. Miss
Fannie Jones, therefore, all unconscious, picked
up the pistol, pulled the trigger while the muz-
zle was in close proximity to her sisters left
temple, and fired. The bullet penetrated the
brain of the unfortunate young lady, and she
fell to the floor, dying instantly.

loud-swearing, vanity-pufed, shallow
Drained, lOng-tOngued, blatant, bully
ing demagogues. They are men who
have no "claims" upon the party.
Your genuine statesmen, your heroes
CT the Senate where ideas are as can
non balls and speech a saber keen, are
not the ones to buttOn-hOle you on
every corner and annoy you with their
'claims" upon the party. They are
not the men to travel the length and
breadth of the State, like believing
bulls of Bashan, proclaiming that they,
and only they, are the chosen vessels
to restore the ancient grandeur and
glory and honor of the party. These
roaring beggars after Office, these polit-
ical IazzarOni, are the very ignorant
and conceited incompetents that
brought the party into disgrace afore-
time. They are but croaking frogs,
whose mission it is to sit upon the banks
of their native ponds, suck in the air,
swell out their sides, and brighten tim
id tadpOles with their noise. These
impudent incompetents must be put
down. We, the people, the rank and
file of the party, must brush them
aside as OdiOus vermin,. and call out
our best and truest men-Our men of
BRAIN and ability-onr men of stamina
and character-Our men of genius
and patriOtism-our Democratic Jewels
of purest ray serene, and put them in
the crown of American craftsmanship,
where their radience may enlighten and
their brilliance guide. Too long have
we permitted them to rust in obscurity.
Too long have We coveed them over
with the dust of impudent political ad-
venturers, fellows who resemble states
men about as much as the stripes of a
rag-carpet resemble a rainbow. We
cannot begin the good work of purify
ing the temple of Democracy one day
too soon. 1t has been used as a stable
for jackasses too long already. With
the broom of THOs. JEFFERSON, our
great Democratic HERCULEs-''Let
the office seek the man"-let's sweep
the Augean stable clean.

We are of the opinion that our old
friend, Judge McMANAMA, knows a
little more law than is healthy for the
continued existence of the Court of APP
peals. 1t locks as if he labors under
the impression that he has been award
ed the contract for performing all the
work which properly falls to the share
of Appellate Judges. When the no.
ton takes him, he pounces on decision
of the Court of Appeals, like jay-bird
on a June-bug, and reverses it before
one can say Jack Robinson" And
he makes no more ado about declaring
q constitutional provision unconstitu-
tional than CROCKETT SAVERS does
about pulling the beam at three hun
dred pounds. We pray Nc, to stay
his rash, innoyating hand. The Court
of Appeals and the State constitution
are relics that have so far bid defiance
to the corroding tooth of time, and we
would be grieved to see them stricken
down by the all-conquering arm of the
CID CAMPEADoR of the Kentucky jul
dietary.

GEN. GoRDoN's advice to the people
Of Louisiana is good. The Administra-
ton is endeavoring to goad them into
armed resistance to its odiOus tyranny.
A dignifed submission to the wrongs
it is heapiug upon them will prove a
defeat more sore to the Preslden. and
his co-conspirators against the politi-
cal life of a sovereign State, than would
fifty reverses on the fOughten field.
Their hope Is to bring about an armed
conflict, and then, under the cry of a
revival of the rebellion, enlist the Sec
tionaI sympathies of the NOrth-nOw
being estranged from them-again on
their side, and thus perpetuate them
selves in power. This is their game.
This alone they are striving for.
Quiet submission to any and every
outrage that may be heaped upon them
by the people Of Louisiana will defeat
it. Let there be no resistance.

There is no good reason why read

well in country village as in city,
while there are many good reasons
in favor of the project. If the editor
is lazy or incompetent, then it will be
impossible for him to get up paper
worthy of support anywhere. We do
not claim for ourself any particular adj
vantage over our cOnreTes of the cOun-

Gus grades of compositor, pressman,

leading dailies. Our experience at
the business began prior to the day
when the telegraph became the serv-

WHEN Texas doctors disagree, they
sharpen their bowie knives, meander
to the edge of town, and fight it out on
that line. As they know exactly where
to carve the human anatomy without
producing fatal results, they hew away
like sixty for awhile, and then, covered
with blood and gaping wounds, they
make the quarrel up, shake hands,
walk arm-in-arm to the nearest dOggery
and take a drink, dress each others
wounds, and ever after enjoy the repu-
tatiOn of being two of the gamest men
between the sulphur factory and the
iron works.

OUR SPIRITUAL NEEDS

What the world wants is not a new re-
ligiOn but a return to the old religion
the one our SAVIOUR preached and died
for-the one that is ultimately to bring
salvation to the peoples-the one that
has been abandoned of men almost
since the moment of the foul and cruel
murder of CuEIsT on Mount Calvary.
We have too many religions now
such as they are. There is not one in
the whole long catalogue Of religious
beliefs that will stand the crucial test
Of the Bible. They are, one and all,
more or less of the earth earthly. Their
principles, or doctrines, are the crea-
ton of men-smart and pious men
they be-but still men. preaching
CHRIST and Him crucifed" is an Incl
dental instead of an essential of our
modern religions. What does a dying
soul care for sprinkling Or immersion
or pouring, for infant baptism, for
works and faith, for creeds and discip-
lines OF catechisms, for sectarlan names
and quarrels? He wants the mamma
direct from heaven, that will feed and
keep life in his soul forever.
We are not a scOffer at and despiser
of the religions of the world. There
is much good in all of them; and also
much of evil. They befog and bewil-
der, by their eternal clashing of doc
trines, where they should all be light
houses to guide to Ravens of safety.
We never knew of a protracted debate
between ministers of opposing sects on
the doctrinal difference between their
respective churches, that did not work
devilish evil in the community. where
it occurred. Both sides would claim
the victory. The adherents of the
several debaters would zealously stand
by their champion, arrangements and
quarrels and heart-burnings would
spring up between friends and neigh.
bors, and we have known even the
members of the same family divided
among themselves. The victory in ell
such contests really belongs to the
| Devil.
CHRIST blazed the path to heaven, ant
he made it narrow. DoctrH,aires hay.
endeavored to macadamise the road

requires a chart and compass to trave-
it with safety. There would be ne

OUR PNLITfC1L CREED.

OUR PCLII1C1L CREED.
We are not of the latter-day, new
light Democracy. With us principles
areprinciplcs, and expediency as value
less as the dust beneath cur feet.
When principles are to be sacrificed
for the sake Of victory; when immoral,
drunken and otherwise Objectionable
men are to be selected for places of
profit and trust, and men of character,
standing and ability are showed aside,
because Of the supposed or actual popu-
larity of the former among the rag-tag-
and-bob-tails; when whisky and money
has to be used to achieve success at the
polls; when all or any of these things
occur, ,ce step DOM and oct Of tie omrass.
Neither our voice, vote or paper can
be used in such warfare. With us,
our political faith is religion, and
we will always endeavOr to guard it
from impurity as we guard the faith
upon which rests the salvation of our
soul from the contamination of infdeli-
ty. That is the reason why we disdain
to publish strict party paper. We
have no idea in advance of the course
our party leaders will pursue. They
are not to 6s trusted. They are all
cxpcdiency people. They have gone
into the very heart of the enemy's
camp and taken their "chief among
ten thousand" their SAUL, the lifelong
and unrelenting enemy of our party
and its principles, and foisted him
upon us as a Democratic candidate
for the Presidency. And now they
are endeavoring to steal from the Re
publicans their principal gun, and
adroitly seeking to indoctrinate us with
the UirUs of imitation. Well have.none
Of this. We would just as soon call
ourself a Republican, and advocate Re
publican principles and support Repub-
lican candidates, as continue holding
OH to the name ofDemOcrat and advo-
cate principles and support candidates
that are Republican in reality, only
adopted for the nonce, and used in the
hope that the enemy may be deceived
and victory won before they discover
the ruse-use them as hunters use
wooden ducks to decoy the real fowl.
We believe in the principles taught
by JEFFERSON and MADISON and Mon.
ROE, and practiced by JACKSON. They
embrace the true theory Of republican
democracy. They are as immutable
as the laws Of nature. They are worth
living for and dying by. Ever since
the moment the Democracy began tC
cut loose from them its fortunes began
to wane. We have tried the dodge Of
expediency often enough and long
enough. We have suffered by on!
folly as much as we ought to suffer. We
cannot afford to continue Il losing
game. The time has arrived for re,
turn to first principles, And unless
we do return to them let's have as lit
tie as possible to say about Demo
cratic principles" Such talk, the way
things are going, is worse than mock,
cry. 1t is rs if BRUTUs, with his foot
upon the bleeding body Of CESAR, were
to pronounce IN eulogy upon the viz.
tues of the man he had just murdered.
Whatever we be, o Democrats, let Us
not become hypocrites as well as trai
torstO our principles.
