conspiracy that taeit approval he would
confer by voting for any man who con-

We have NO doubt many honest men,
very patriotic men, believe that
Gov. Hayes was really elected presi-

The Nashville American, OF the 4th,
contains the following item of news,
which will be of interest not only to
lager beer sellers Of Memphis, but also
to those who are in the habit Of playing
cards for beer:
A case Of considerable importance TO
lager beer s%aloons, and those who like to
sit down at a quiet game of casino in
those establishments, came up in the
Criminal Court yesterday. The witness,
upon whose testimony conviction was
reached, testified that defendant had paid
for beer on entering q beer saloon; that
they sat down at a table, played cards,
and drank beer at about the close Of
each game.
Judge Frazier charged the jury that
when persons played for beer it came
within the purview Of the law, although
the ssloon-keeper might be the recipient
Of the money and not the second party.
The case was appealed. 1t is a rather
novel one, aud the decision Of the Su-
prene Court on the subject will be
looked for with considerable interest.
Unless this tribunal should decide ad-
versely every mar who shall thereafter
play for the beer will be subject to a fine
and costs amounting 10 twenty-five dol.
lars in each and every case.
