very smart, vas industriously trying
to persuade the store keeper-who is
an uncompromising Democrat that

admircr OF Hays became SO very
earnest thai he called to his aid sew

a remarkable trial, involving a
curious question, has Just been con.
cludc:l in Bowling Green, Ky. The
code ducllo, although still occasionally
rcsortcd to by some fiery spirits in
the South, is nevertheless fast gong
out of use even OIL Kcntncky's dark

more extraordinary to find clergy
man attempting to test its stern pro-
visions. 1t appears that the Rev.
DR.. Smoot, pastor Of the Presbyterian
church, Bowling Green, was charged
with violation Of law-to say nothing
of ministerial proprieties- chal-
longing q man with whom he had
quarrcled to fight duel. This w,,s
the Interpretation put by the prosecu-
ton OIL very fiery letter sent by the
clergyman. The defense claimed
that such was not its meaning. Both
sides argued SO well that the jury
could not agree, standing seven for
conviction and five for acquittal, and
there the case stands Mt present,
though it is expected that the presby-
terry will next take up the case and
decide whether or not The reverend

s,onlition Of the Iron Trade.

| Pittsburgh Ahnuiactutero Of Yostrrday.l
A correspondent who writes us from
Illinois speaks AZ Il the American iron
trade were in the most hourishing condi-
ton and having nothing TO wish for.
Throughout The entire country the
condition OF the iron trade remains about
as during the past two years. The ma.
jority are treading the narrow path that
forms the dividing line between profit
and loss, the balance are to be found on
both sides as circumstances may favor or
compel. How long this condition may
continue no Que can say, but certain II il,
nothing at present gives sure token OF an
early change. OF the two branches, the
producers Of pig and the manufacturers
Of finished iron. we believe that in the
South and Southwest the producers may
be the better oil il the advantage Is with
either. In the finished iron trade, should
any considerable order be booked, il is At
a price that wins il from number oi
bidders and leaves nothing for thewinner
to boast OF. Even the correspondence OF
trade has taken to itself new form. Let
ters from customers who generally began
with, "PleaSe furnish u.s." etc, now
write, "At what price can You furnish
etc.
We know that certain works aud even
localities within the past two years, have
been more busy than the average, but nc
general change rendering the situation q
subject for congratulation, has taken
place. Should an establishment secure
one large order or a few average onea, BY
the time they are through with those
they become anxious about something
else TO follow up with, and this We believe
is the general condition.

New YoRK, December 2l.-The Times
Tallahassee special says: A special dis.
patch from this place purports to give
an interview with Attorney General
Cocke,in which an imputation i made that
he used heated and undignified language
concerning other members Of the State
Canvassers in connection with their recent
action and the accuracy of their minutes.
The dispatch is, 10 speak very mildly,
highly colored.
The Attorney General in his testimony
before the Senate Committee fully sus.
tanned the Board in Its exercise oi
judicial functions, and stated that he
agreed with them in many cases on the
application OF the law to the facts, but
differed in some instances. In two cases
the memory OF the Attorney General
differed from the record and from his as.
socrates and clerk, but he did not assume
the others we're moi fully as conscientious
as likely TO remember what transpired
as himself, especially as daily minutes
were kept which sustain the recol!eec
tions Of his associates. Bat il Is hardly q
matter OF interest how Cooke voted or
Hamilton at precinct IS in Leon, the
only ones where difference Of recollec
ton exists, as majority OF the BoSrd
had right to decide all cases. II The
Board had any power, that power in tht
Board was and 10 strenuously insistet
upon by the Attorney General. ..
