THE TAYLOR label CASE.

-H. ..a.r .Er. - -.-rm LHr
On Saturday last at ten o'clock Hon. S. L.
Sphinx presented his motion in the district
court for a new trial in the case of the Ter
ritory VS. Maris Taylor and James Taylor.
The motion was supported BY the afidavits
Of j. c. English and w. H. Dales, two Of
the jurynen who tried the case, setting out
the facts that while the jury was DELHI
Grating the tailiff was present and talked
with them ; also that some Of the jurymen,
while in the court room, on Sunday the 2Sd
Of December, read the Law Of libel from law
books found in the room. The prosecution
objected to these afidavits, on the ground
that the afidavits of jurymen are inadmissi-
bic to impeach their verdict. Upon this il
sue the motion was then argued by Mr..
Sphinx until after four o'clock p. IN. He
cited numerous authorities going to show
that such afidavits we're admissible, refer
ring to decisions in Iowa, Vermont, Massa-
chusetts, Tennessee and Indiana. Judge l.
E. West followed Mr.. Sphinx upon the ques-
ton of the admissibility Of the afidavits. He
also referred to Texas, New York and Cali
fornia cases holding a contrary doctrine to
that advanced by Mr.. Sphinx. Owing to the
fact that Mr.. Sphinx cannot be in court to-day
the future consideration is postponed until
Tuesday the 18th inst. j. r. Gamble,
Judge l. Z. Wet and District Attorney
Phil X. Faulk, appear for the prosecution.
and Hon. S. L. Sphinx and Judge E. G,
Wheeler, for defendants.

sPUDK1Ns As A R

1t was recently reported that a number Of
deer had been seen in the Jim river timber
below town. Spudkins' ears took in the
report. Business was dull, and he would
have some sport just to break the monotony
Of his street and saloon loa6ng. With him
to resolve was to act. He Immediately laid
in his supplies, consisting of a nine dollar
shot gun, which his neighbor spriggs lent
him, a flask of powder, flask of benzine and
one pound of goose shot With the ASST
rance and confidence which is begotten Of
selfreliance spudkins told his wife he in
tended to bring home some v%enison, and
proceeded to the locality designated as the
haunts of animals terra natura. In one coat
tail pocket was the flask Of powder. in the
other was the benzine, and in his brooches
pocket was the pound of shot All this by
way of ballast. Arriving in the plum
brush his GOODNESS and courage began to
forsake him. He heard a rustic in the
underbrush and Immediately an attack of
"buck fever seized him. His coat tails
vibrated like the lpcndulums of a Yankee
clock, loosening the corks in the TASKS in
said coat tail pockets. At this juncture he
observed an animal browsing in the long
grass some distance off. Surely it was a
deer-it was red and had four legs. In the
midst of his perturbation he banged away
with both barrels, and the animal leaped
off in wild alright on three legs, with Spud-
kins in excited pursuit. As he ran a stream
Of Bourbon sprinkled from one coat tail
pocket and spurts of. powder issued from
the other. The paper in which the shot
in his pantloons pocket, was wrapped
became united and the shot commenced
dropping down through a hole in his pock-
ct into his boots. What havoc they played
with his bunions, chilblains and corns !!
Spudkins gave way to imprecations, and as
his foot struck a tangled root, tripping him
up, so that he fell sprawling into a thorn
bush, breaking his nose and borrowed shot
gun, his language was reduced to the very
science of profanity. Picking himself up
he encountered IN irate SCANDINAVIAN, who
accused him of shooting the tail and one
hind leg ::off Of n of his yearling calves.
spudkins realized his great mistake and paid
the Scandinavian ten dollars for the calf,
and waiting until after dark reached his
home by the back streets. In the morning
he went to the butcher shop for beefsteak'
but the honest dealer in sausage induced him
to purchase four pounds of nice fresh veal
After breakfast he learned that he had been
partaking of the same veal which he had
mistaken for a deer. He says he was after
deer meat, and was successful in obtaining
dear meat. He has paid for the broken shot
gun, the doctor has dug the thorns out Of
him, and his wife good soul) has mended
his torn raiment, spudkins is now studying
"smith's Wild and Domestic Animals,'
with the view of discriminating more cor
rectly hereafter.

FRIDAY MORNING. NOV. Is, 1878.

The visits of Zach Chandler and others
of that stripe to President Hayes since the
congressional elections have brought forth
fruit. Blaine. Conkling aud the rest have
raised the cry of s'Solid South and Mr..
Hayes proposes to aid them by bringing
to justice, all who ''interfered with the
freedom of the ballot in the South at the
last election. In an interview Tuesday
with reporter of the Washington ''Re-
publican Mr.. Hayes said ''tEe time for
discussion has passed." We copy the fol-
lowing from the interview:
Interviewer-Then the officers of the
Department of Justice have been instr uc-
ted to carry out the proceedings already
begun against the depredators?
The President-Not only against those
who have already been arrested but against
others who will soon be arrested. 1t is
proposed to make clean sweep of the bus
mess and exhaust every legal resource In
the execution Of justice. The integrity OF
American citizenship has been grossly vlo-
lated in widespread localities. 1t must
and shall be indicated.
Interyiewer-Wll it be necessary to
make any removals or changes among the
District Attorneys in the Southern States!
The President hope not, and believe
not; but if it is discovered thai any officer
of the class you refer to is not earnestly
endeavoring to do his whole duty i'll the
matter, there will be no hesitation in tax
ing proper steps to replace him, and to Sc
cure vigorous prosecution of these cases
In connection with this may be mention.
ed the fact that President Hayes has just
finished pardoning every member of thu
ballot stuffing gang sentenced to the peni
Tertiary at Cincinnati.

recent Congressional contest. When thi,
canvass opened l was comparative
stranger in the greater part of the District
but l was met every where by brave and
true friends, VIII se usIselti,h devotion,
though answered by defeat, merited the
reward If success. To all of these, for
their sincere attachment, l pledge anew
my best Efforts III positions perh,p-
humber than that to which you would
have elevated me.
The splendhi majority given me by my
county of r. ckifghan. Snail he my pride
through life Defeat, with this. high en-
dorsemenl. is preferable to victory with al
adverse verdict from my OWL people.
Toward those who opposed me. save in
the .Stances where truth was sacrificed t

We have read the reply of DIR. Ruffner,
Superintendent Of Public instruction, to
Auditor Taylor's pamphlet. He differs
with tho Auditor on the amount due the
schools, and insists that it is 81, ll3,O52.
We grant DIR. RS figures in full. Now
let him go to work and vary his work OF
publishing pamphlets about the diver
sion'' of the school fund, by addressing
himself to solving the question, how, when
taxpayer pays his a0hole tax in coupons
under the decision of the highest court OF
the State) the Auditor can set apart IN
a,,ouey the dollar capitation tax and the
ten cents in the hundred dollars the
schools are entitled to? That is cunum-
drum for the Doctor to hammer over, the
long evenings of the coming winter.
