The Supreme Court Of Tennessee has set

singular manner. The marks Of peculiarly
formed naked foot were found near the
body OF the murdered man. At the thai 4
pan Of mud was brought into court and the
prisoner was ordered 20 put his foot into II.
Very naturally he declined to do 30 and
eliminate himself, and the jury accepting
his refusal as a proof Of guilt, convicted
him. The Boston T'rdUelLer suggests thatthis
is perhaps the first instance on record In
which man has put his foot into it" by

Ton SCOTT and Jay Gould are bitterly
hostile to Tilden, and Gould is for Blaine
and runs the New York Tribune in this
groove. Scott knows that Tilden would
never assent to his proposed steal OF
$50, OOO, 900. Gould's man, Blaine, is done
for, and it remains to be seen whether Tom
Scott's ring can defeat Tilden. Hunting
ton is said to be for Tilden or Bristow. He
asks for no subsidy except the usual alter.
nate sections and right of way through the
public lands.

A THOUGHTFUL and wise correspondent
of the Dallas Commercial inveighs against
the divestiture of the State of its ulti-
mate title to school and university lands.
5 ates never die, aud are always young.
individuals are content with titles for ten,
twenty and fifty years. Then the States
right of possession revIving when these
grants expire, the children of ten or twenty
millions of people may be educated, and
the worlds wisdom may be gathered here

older the world the greater the necessity for
universities, for the greater has become the
grand sum total of human knowledge.

The Democratic nominations in New
York, Connecticut and Massachusetts
have added greatly to the strength of
the cause. Hubbard is admittedly the
the strongest man in Connecticut; the
name of Charles Francis Adams is a
tower OF strength, not merely in the
State of Massachusetts, but in the
whole country, while Lucius Robinson
has polled the largest majority ever
given in New York, and is pre- eminent
in the application of the principles Of
sound finance and wise economy to
public affairs.

A WORD TO WORKINGMEN.

The Republican party has controlled
the affairs of the nation for the last
sixteen years. 1t has levied and collected
enormous taxes. The clothing you wear,
the coffee and tea you drink, the tobacco
you smoke, and the match you light
your fires with are only a few of the
articles for which you pay two prices
because of this taxation. 1t has given
away to corporations millions of acres
of land, and now that there is no moro
to bestow on its pets, reiterates' In
its platform its opposition to land grants.
1t has squandered the revenues of the
country, paralyzed our industries, and
closed our miues by its refusal to restore
silver to its old standard, thereby caus-
ing ruinous discount on silver bullion,
the great product of Nevada. Through
its tricks in the interest of untaxed
bondholders thousands of honest men
have been thrown out of employment
and are Obliged to tramp on every
thoroughfare in search of work. Shall
we give this party, which is found to
be corrupt at every point touched by
the probe Of investigation, new lease
of power? Shall we vote for Hayes
and Wheeler and thus perpetuate the
reign of Grantism ? There is but one
escape from our present difficulty; there
is but one road which will lead US out
of our fearful condition; but one course
left for US to pursue, and that is to vote
for the party that has endeavored to
help US, and in the event of its success
is committed to restore silver to its old
standard, and restore prosperity to the
State. Business and workingmen, shall
we do this and achieve a decisive and
complete victory.

IGNORANCE OR EALSEHOCD
WHICHt

The wicked partners charge the
Democratic House of Representatives
with reducing the army, and assert that
the reduction will necessitate the aban-
donment of Camp McDermit. 1t is
difficult to determine whether this
statement is to be attributed to ignor-
ance, or an indulgence of lying pro-
psnsities.: 1t is fact generally known
to the people, and one which the re-
cord substantiates, that Congress, at its
last session passed bill to increase
the army to 90, 900, or $500 more than
the force authorised by the preceding
Republican Congress. Instead of
organizing two or three new regiments
the War Department Ordered that
cavalry companies be increased to 100
men each. The Democratic House of
Representatives also passed bill to
authorize tho President to call out
5000 volunteers. How, in the face OF
these facts. can the wicked partners
assert that the House of Representa-
tives reduced the army Is it posi-
BILE that the truly good deacon has
not enlightened them on this point,
nor cautioned them against making
fools as we'll as liars of themselves !?
