We may as we'll make up our minds to
see the "party'' go to the dogs if Hayes car
ries out his promises. Things will 60 along
quietly enough, perhaps, until the congress-
men get back here, with their crowds Of de-
pendents, and then will come the tug OF war.
They will demand places in the departments.
and Carl Schurz will either go out OF the
cabinet or they will not get them to any
great extent. Hayes will probably give
mortal offense To enough republicans to pre-
vent any new measures of policy that are
distinctively his own from going through
this congress. Washington cor. of Boston

An OH KENTUCKY TRAaEDY-The jew
EFT tragedy in New York recalls the only
parallel to it in this country, which occurred
in Hawesville, Ky, shortly after the war
A longtime feud existed between two
residents Of the town named Sterritt and
Davidson, and the latter finally devised a
terrible scheme of revenge. He made a
double tin cylinder, filled the inside one with
ten pounds Of powder and the outer with
several hundred bullets, packed in cotton.
He then started out for Sterritt aud found
him 10 a grocery store with several other
persons, lighted fuse which he had connec-
ted with tho powder and walked toward the
group. He had miscalculated the length oil
his fuse, however. and rs he stopped TO place
the can on the floor tho powder exploded
Kidding him with bullets aud killing him
instantly. Every person in the store was
more or less injured, Sterrilt quite seriously,
but no death ensued except that Of Davidson
himself The side wall Of the building was
blown down and the explosion was heard sew
eral miles away.

The governor Of Minnesota has set apart
the 10th of this month Us day of fasting
and prayer against grasshoppers. Hero is
an opportunity to prove the efficacy Of stated
duplication; but at the same time we can
hardly help rejecting sorrowfully upon the
remoteness Of the human race from the foun-
tain.head Of power and mercy at the present
day as compared with the state that ex.
listed three or four thousand years ago, &C.
cording to Bible narratives. Thus, when
"Old Pharosh"-as our colored brethren Of
the South call him-had endured the grass
hoppers as long as heithought necessary for a
proper maintenance Of his dignity, he sent
for Moses and agreed 10 his terms on condi-
ton that he would oall of his insects. But
Pharoah was worshipper OF strange gods,
and he camc 10 term with very bad grace.
He did not fast and he did not pray; he
merely made bargain. Now the governor
Of Minnesota rs a banisher of grasshoppers
docs not know what definite service to per-
form or what remissness tho grasshopper
scourge is a penalty for SO he chances it on
a proclamation which nominally prcscribes
fasting and prayer, but which virtually in.
auguratos base ball matches, horse races and
other diversions throughout the state. Sad
as it may seem, this porverse generation does
not set much store by.faith unless works &C.
company it, and even if the prayers of few
west wind that would loosen the grip Of the
modern grasshopper would be apt to take
half the state with it.-Boston Post.

EDrToR SILVER STATE;-Two weeks
ago a. man named Charles Hall was
arrested and lodged in Jail for assault
ing M. Oppenheim. Three days after
the affair he was taken to the Justices
Court and acquitted without trial. He
was then re.arrested for the same
offense under new name, that of dis
turbing the peace. Two days ago his
case was called in Justices Court and
Hall was again acquitted without trial.
In Paradise Valley similar occurrence
transpired. A man was arrested for
firing a pistol at another and dismissed
without trial. / have taken the trouble
to ascertain the probable cost of these ar.
rests to the county, and find that it will
not fall much short of 500. Now, as
taxpayer, l would respectfully ask the
authorities if some cheaper method of
disposing of cases. which, upon refec-
ton, they find do not reach the dignity
of an offense, and dismiss without
trial, than that now in vogue cannot be
adopted. INoJIRER.

The Act Exempting Huekstsra De.
claRed Unconstitutional.
In the Supreme Court at Knoxville on
Saturday last, the following opinion was
delivered by Judge Sneed in the case of
N. W. WoOdfn VS.. ]. F. J. Lewis, County
Court clerk, which is of general interest,
involving, as it does, the validity Of the
act exempting hucksters, butchers, etc.,
from payment Of a privilege tax. 1t will
be seen that the Law exempting them
from payment Of the same is declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court:
The plaintiff brought this action to re-
cover the amount of @ license tax paid
BY him under protest to the defendant as
clerk of the County Court of Knox
county for the exercise of the privilege
OF butcher and huckster in the county Of
Knox. Prior 10 the passage Of the
act of 1877, ch. Sc, this vocation
was one OF the taxable privileges under
the statutes Of this State. The plaintiff
claims that the act cited has exempted
said occupations from taxation as priv.
ileges. The defendant insists that the
act aforesaid is unconstitutional and
void and such was the Judgment
Of the court below. The constitu.
ton of this State provides that no
bill shall become q law which embraces
more than one subject and hat all acts
which repeal, revive or amend former
laws shall recite in their caption or 9TH
erwise the title or substance Of the law
repealed, revived or amended. Const.
Tenn, Article 2, section II. The act Of
1877, chapter Sc, referred TO, is entitled
an act to repeal ell laws requiring
a~uctioneers to pay a privilege tax" 1t
contains but one section which is in
the words following: BE it enacted,
etc, That all laws requiring ~auctioneers
to pay a privilege tax be, and the same
are hereby repealed; provided, that
the provisions Of this act shall apply
only to a%uctioneers of live stock, and
the productions of farms, and manufae-
tories located in this State. And all
butchers and hucksters who supply the
public with good or wholesome meat and
provisions shall be exempt from paying
any privilege tax as heretofore required.
And that this act shall take effect from
and after its passage, the public welfare
requiring it" 1t is manifest hat the
legislature intended the exemption in
behalf of the butchers and hueksters, but
it is quite clear that that intention must
fail because of the plain repugnance Of
the statute to the provisions of the or.
ganic law. Affirm the judgment.
