We had two misfortunes last week,
and in consequence were compelled to
send our readers n n;serlble half aheet,
the first one We have ever published, eI
ceptin@ Christmas weeks, Stree We have
been catering 10 the reading pablo.
Monday the p~ress,nan broke the press
while working the outside pages Of III"
paper. and Wednesday eTcning We
made up the forms, properly boxed
them, and intended TO send the type
down and have the inside of :Ae paper
printed at the Summit Times Office.
The forms were taken to the depot and
deposited in the warehouse, but before
the train arrived the warehousomau
turned one Of them over or the floor,
aud scattered the Typ" in every dlrec
ton. That left rs with but one form
up, aud We could only PRINT one pnge
with it. We regretted to send ont =
half sheet, bat could do no better un
der the circumstances.
The broken part Of the press has beer
replaced with a new piece from Cincln
rati, the pi has about been cleaned up

All Over.

The fllihusters were not strong
enough to delay the electoral count, and
on Saturday morning the decision was
made that Hayes had received one hun
bred and eighty>fve votes; Tilden one
hundred and eighty>four. The joint
session of Congress proclaimed Hayes
and Wheeler elected President and Vice
President.
What a slight escape from defeat n
majority Of one vote, and that, too, with
the influence of al! the rasca!s in his
party thrown in his favor. With all
their tricks the scamps could only steal
enough votes to give Hayes the Pfssi-
dency by a majority Of one, and they
could not have done that much if they
had not had halters on Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida. Hayes is now
comforting himself with the ola saying
chat n miss is as good as a mile.

'E'sec SacritliaG & s.s0n Case.


February, 1876, the Phoenix Hotel, OF
Meridian, WAS burned, and C. II. VIII
iiams and I. S. Sanford were arrested,
upon suspicion, rs the in~cendiaries. Both
owned shares in the building and were
heavily insured. The insurance com
panies believed they burned the house
for tho insurance money: aud a prosecu-
ton WAS begun. The case has been
continued once or twice, but il was
called for trial in Meridian last Thurs
day, and all parties Interested announcel
themselves ready. Sanford turnad
States evidence and said he anl c. II.
Williams employed a negro named jack
Wyatt to burn the hotel.
Jack Wyatt snid Sanford gave him
lots valued at two hundred dollars TO
burn the hotel. He also duplicates
Williams in the case.
The Nercury reports the testimony
Of Sanford as follows:
Witness detailed cir2umstantially the
negotiations which led to a conspiracy
to burn the Phoenix Hotel. Williams
asked witness if he could employ some
! one to burn it. roldhow Williams had
asked him if he knew Jack Myatt. How
on Sunday. before the burning Of the
Phoenix, he and Williams went to Ny
! ats house, and how Mvatt was asked
aud agreed to come 10 his house next
morning Saw jack Wyatt that Sunday
nj his own house. 1t WIS Mr.. Williams
suggested Myatt's employment to burn
the hotel. Saw jack as he came down
from work at the hotel. Before Jack
came to m house on that morning, |
met Williams in the hotel aud we went
up into the hotel and selected the room
and place for setting the fire. After he
left Jack came and [ made the arrange
ment with him to burn the house and
fixed the ~placa4nnl put in the wood and
made all ready.
After the fire, OF. Tuesday, Williams
spoke to me. and told me there was talk
about town, and he said we had better
get Jack Away. He told me to keep Il
sharp lookout, and keep him posted.

jack and gave him fifty dollars. Myatt

BRINGING Them 10 FERNS.

Gov. Wade Hampton knows how to
bring men to terms. The Trustees OF
the Colored Orphan Asylum, Chamber
lain's appointees. requested money from
the old hero to carry on the institution,
but as they failed to address him
as Governor, he paid no at
tention to their appeal. The Off
GERS of the Asylum finding that fur
Their delay would necessitate the clos
ing Of the institution at an early day,
determined to change their tune, and
the Chairman Of the Board Of Trustees,
made n formal written application to
Gov. Hampton, addressing him as Gov
ernor, again soliciting aid. whieh was AT
once granted in the form of a check for
$1,000. which wifi be sufficient to meet
the necessary expenses of the insti.u-
ton for some time to come. The Gov
ernor understands his business.

tenay he has approved the r,scality Of
the Returning Rntls vf Louisiana,

's'hc Dead Democracy.

1t is not At all probable that Samuel
j. Tilden viii he the non2inee Of the
Democratic party in 1889 Long before
that time the party will be, not only
dead, but buried ont of sight, and Sam
nel win have retired from politics.
-,juchSoa Times.
4 party tisat has been ont OF power
for sixteen years. and that has held TO
gether with all the darts Of kadicalism
aimed at it, can certainly survive tour
more years of Radical rule and plun~
der, and that too when all the State
governments Of the South, and many
of those Of the North, are in the hands
Of and under the control OF Democrats.
The cry 0. the death of Democracy is
raised every few years by the ignoram
uses, but for the last three years the
dead Democracy has been the live!icst
corpse on record.
Lets see how the Democracy dies. In
1872 Grant, Republican, received three
hundred electoral votes; Greeley, Dem
oGrat, received onl, sixty-six, In 1876
Hayes wAs aiiotceH one hundred and
eighty five electoral votes (but he had
only received one hundred and sixty
Sky: Tilden was proclaimed to have
one hundred and eighty~four, (when III
reality he received two hundred ana
three. We like snch daath as this.
All this talk about the death of the
Democratic party is nonsense. It viii
never dia as long as the Republic lasts.
1880 will restore the Democracy to
power, and with It's aAeou5i~n the san
of Radicalism VIII go down never to
arise again to carse ana Cypress 4 free

1t is rumored that Hayes will appoint
Gen. Joseph Z. Johnston as Secretary
Of War, if the old Confederate will nc
cept. We can hardly believe the re
port. Doa Cameron, the present Secre-
tary of War, nominated Hayes III the
Cincinnati Convention, and were the
President disposed TO honor a Southron
with that position we do not see how he
could dispose Of Cameron. 4 late tele-
gram says the Cabinet will probably be
composed as follows: Secretary Of State
-Evarts, Of New York; Secretary of
the treasury John Sherman; Secre-
tary of War--Joseph e. Johnston; Sec
retary OF the Navy-John NJ. Forbes, of

A BAND of half civilized Indians called
on President Grant last week to extend
their good wishes on his retirement

be entirely without friends while it

Indians are incapable Of a high state Of
