The Frankfort Yeomon, u paper
that always knows whereof it afirms,
has. among many other good things,
the following of our friend Logan,
which all honest men will appreciate:
BESIDES the service which Emmett Lo-
gan has done to the State in showing up
the rottenness Of men who pretend TO be
retrenchers and reformers, it may be set
down to his credit that in sixty days he
saved to the Treasury . present sum little
short Of $1,000, and perhaps 500, 900 in the
future. But for this exposure there is no
telling how far these abuses Of public trust
would have gone. He not only checked
the overcharge in the lratter Of mileage,
hut he reduced the expenses Of asylum
committees, river viewers, and every COM
mission sent out by the State. He elimi-
mated from all accounts that pregnant and
indefinite character, "&c," He brought
the question Of expenses down, to items
showing actual outlay, and put an end 10
the easy mode Of guessing ten dollars
where one dollar only was involved"

LOUISVILLE must be a hot house
for defaulters and forgers, judging
from the number shown up there in
the last few years. John S. Cain,
Clerk of the Circuit Court and Trus-

brought to notice. His ENLIGHTENMENT
amounts to between $4,000 and $780,

DID YOU EVER SEE Such TINES?
The hard times have produced languor
in all our Commercial and Mechanical in
terests, and even the Doctors complain that
the country is distressingly healthy.
SKELETON FOUND.
The clothing and portion Of skull Of .
man was found in an unfrequented hollow
near Paint Lick depot a few days ago.
The indications are that the man, whoever
he was, was foully dealt with. There is no
clue to his identity, nor have We heard
that any one is suspected as the perpetra-
tors.
RELIGIOUS.
The Methodist brotherhood are in the
midst Of a protracted meeting at the
Union church. The congregations are gen
orally good for the busy season, evincing
considerable interest. But as get there
have been but three confessions. The SER
vices are unusually free from sectarian
bias, and the discourses in the main, are
endorsed by all denominations.
PERSONAL.
Miss Sallie Bates, the accomplished prin-
cipal of the Paint Lick Seminary, honored
our village with her presence on Sunday
last. Mr. Josiah =. Simmons, lady and
daughters, OF Richmond, have been visit
ing friends here. Mr.. W. P. Prewitt re-
turned Saturday, from the cities, where he
had been absent purchasing Spring goods.
Mr.. II. T. Jones, ST., and Messrs. A. d.
Jones 4 Son, have just opened their new
stocks.
LET I'm ALONE THEY'LL. GET OVER IT.
We notice that we have subjected our
self to acriticism by the sapient East End
correspondent Of the Richmond Register, in
consequence Of a paragraph in our last re-
port relative to some contemplated mar
riages in this county. He intimafes that
we had better defer such publications I'M
Ill authorized to make them. The truth
Is, We were laboring under a misappre hen
sion as to the dates Of the weddings. But
we regard any we'll authenticated rumor as
sufficient authority, and legitimate sub
iects of newspaper paragraphs.
DEATH.
Mr.. +. II. Beazley, who lived in an adj.
joining neighborhood in Garrard county.
died on Friday night last, after a painful
illness Of several years. The case, as am
informed, was an anomalous one, the
Of which, had bafiied the skill Of
a number of able physicians. Nor did
any treatment to which he was subjected,
afford any permanent relief. We learn
that he requested that his body be submit
ted to post norton examination in order
to ascertain, II possible. the nature OF his
disease. We have not heard Of the result.
VISIT TO STANFORD.
We made hasty visit by private con-
yeyaDee to your city last week. The far
mers every where along the route were bu-
lily engaged planting corn. We noticed
that fully as much, II not larger acreage
will be devoted to that crop this year than
usual. Wheat Is looking extremely we'll.
and grass Is further advanced than ordina-
~ AT this season. The outlook is indeed
promising for another bountiful harvest.
While at Stanford, we enjoyed the hospi-
'alities Of Mr.. a Mrs. Ramsey, the excel
len, Propsis,oss Of the Commercial Hotel.

A DISASTROUS FIRE, supposed to be
the work of an incendiary, ragged in
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, on Sunday night.
Fifty-seven business and dwellinghous.
es were burned, and the loss is esti-
mated at 100000. A negro mob,in
fnriated at the killing Of one of their
number by a policeman, who was at.
tempting his arrest, retarded the work
at the Ere and made the loss much
greater. It is supposed by some, as
the negroes refused to assist in putting
out the FIRE, that they kindled it
through motives of revenge.

THERE l. considerable indignation

THERE is considerable indignation
among the officers here at the refusal
Of Governor McCrcary to furnish Q
company of Militia, when he was re-
qucsted to do 80 by them. His re-
Spouse that he would send troops II
any emergency should arise did not
help the case much, ne after the emer.
gency had arisen there would be no
time TO wait for them TO come from
Frankfort and do any good here. There
were much better grounds for the Mi.
litia to be sent here than there were
in the Grove Kennedy case. There
then was only one man to try, against
whom public sentiment was strong
here we have six murder cases. All
have friends, and ithappens that all who
were friends Of Kennedy; besides, le.
gions of others, are interested in these
cases. A negro, for the murder Of
Mr.. John Engleman, wealthy and
influential citizen, and related TO a ma
jority Of the people in the county, is
on trial. His sons. relatives and friends
feel very rightly serious indignation
against him, and there is considers
bile fear ielt for his safety. A conn
bination of the friends of the prison.
ers could be formed that would he q
most formidable one, and one that
strangers and well-drilled men could
resist much better than men who know
all the parties in the various cases.
Besides the prisoners, the witnesses in
some Of the cases express great fears
of their own safety, and q number Of
them are kept constantly under guard.
We are not prepared to say that there
will be any outburst, but there are
sufficient grounds for the cautious to
believe so, and, should any occur, and
the majesty Of the law overthrown,
Governor McCreary will stand in a
most unenviable attitude. If troops
were needed to guard Grove Kennedy,
with one-tenth the number Of friends
md supporters that the prisoners here
nave, the Governor can give no reason
whatever for not answering the call
Tor assistance. iHi4f ifiilil,l

THE Boss rs DEAD.-Wm. M.

several years ago, and for which he

in Ludlow Street Jail last Friday.
Among his last words were, II guess

he was going "where the wicked cease

a great many worse men than Tweed

Il Is not likely they will die in Jail.
