There is not much OF interest to
be said from this place. Everybody
seems to feel the hard times. Many
persons are cut of employment and
cannot get work. Cash for labor is
out of the question. and seldom can
the necessaries OF life be had for
work. Hence the suffering.
The financial question receives a
great deal OF attention, and many can
trace the scarcity of money to class
legislation and the plumbers of Con-
gress. OF one thing all are certain
these are, emphatically, hard times.
But We live in the hope OF change
for the better.
In some localities the people are
turning their attention to religion. II
is the best thing they can do; it is
commendable. At BARRIERS school
house, four miles east, rousing re-
vival is in progress. There has also
been revival on the island, three
miles from this town, and thirty have
united with the M. E. Church here
Greenbackers are increasing in
numbers, but many of them don't
seem to have confidence in the Dem
ocrat platform,-are a little suspic-
ious that there is a cat in that buncq
OF meal.

A prominent Washington lawyer,
who is not easily betrayed into pan

friends in the army, informs The
Tribune that there Is something the
proposition to reduce and consoli-
date the army embodied in the bill
recently reported by the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs. The Mil
itary propose to cut down the rank
and file to 10000 mon. and to consol-
idate them into fifteen regiments of

regiments OF cavalry and three of ar
tillery-in alltwo hundred compan.

Every contested election case
brought before the House Of Repre-

OF the Democratic claimant. In some
instances Democrats were entitled to
the seats; but in two or three cases,

were utterly disregarded. The Indi-

On Monday evening, Coroner G.. w.

Medaryville, that man had been found
dead in the woods near that place. Later
in the evening he received another dis
patch stating who the man was and that
his death was clearly the result of an &C
cident.
From what we can gather the person
was Mr.. Abe Hathaway, living near Me-
daryville, and known to g good many of
our citizens. 1t appears that he and one
ofhis sons was in the field gathering corn,
when pheasant flew up and went towards
the timber. He sent his boy to the house
for gun, and getting IL went to look for
the bird. This was the last seen of him
alive. His son waited for his return, and

A charge of shot had entered his right
temple, and it is supposed his death was
almost instantaneous. 1t is presumed he
was carrying the gun in sueh position
that the hammer catching on a bush, dis
charged the gun. There is no SUPPOSE
zion, 50 far as we can learn, of suicide.

The New York Times publishes
letter of considerable length from ex-
Governor Wells, of Louisiana, re-
lative to the returning board prose-
cutions in that State, which throws
considerable light on the proceeding.
Governor Wells begins by remarking
that "when it is known that five sue
csssive grand juries have firmly re-
fused to find true bill against me
at the high behest OF the attorney
general, and the prosecution against
me and my associates is based upon
information, some public interest
will attach to the personal character
Of the informer." He then proceeds
to show up the characters Of the
leading spirits in the prosecutions.
Judge Whitaker, before whom
General Anderson was tried, stands
indicted for conspiracy to defraud
the government out of 100000, as
former assistant treasurer at New
Orleans. He is bitter Democratic
partisan. Nine of the juros in the
Anderson case, says Governor Wells,
swore that they were prejudiced
against the prisoner, yet they were
made to serve. Two of them had
declared openly that Anderson ought
to be hanged. During the greater
part Of the trial Judge Whitaker was
in beastly state OF intoxication.
The attorney general, Ogden, is
another bitter partisan. He aided
in packing the jury which convicted
Anderson, and before the case was
called said he intended to force the
trial because he had his jury pre-
pared for conviction" The assist
ant attorney general is under indict-
ment for the murder Of brother
lawyer. The leading witness against
Anderson is a man whom Governor
Wells says hundreds OF persons in
New Orleans would swear they would
not believe under oath, The names
of the jury impaneled for the trial OF
Anderson and Wells were furnished
by the Democratic executive CON-
mittee, and the political views of
every member Of the jury were
canvassed by the Judge, attorney
general and the committee before the
panel was made up. Governor
Wells says that the judge, the attor-
ney- general, the assistant attorney
general and the district attorney
have thrown every obstacle in the
way. and used every exertion to pre-
vent him and General Anderson from
producing or having their witnesses,
in urging a speedy trial, and has de-
MED every legal right claimed by
their attorneys. And this Is the sort
of thing called justice in Louisiana
and which Governor Hendricks in
dorses.

By invitation of some of our good
citizens, Messrs. H. B. Pershing and
w. Kelley. Of Plymouth. began Muir
ply temperance meeting here Sat-
urday evening Feb. 8. A large number
attended at the commencement, and
about score signed the pledge.
On Sunday, at 10 o'clock, the num-
Der increased, and was addressed by
Messrs. Pershing, Kelley, Easton and
Murphy, all of Plymouth. At the
close of the addresses about twenty
others signed the pledge.
At night the large audience was
addressed by Messrs. Persbing, Kelly,
N. Sherman, Shuss and NJ Cummings.
The best of feeling prevailed, and
about score more signed the pledge,
making sixty in all.
We then organized by electing G.
Shuss, president; w. M. Brown, vice.
president; S. Wiltfong, sec'y, and nj.
Cummings, treasurer. We think they
are the right men in the right place.
The best of order prevailed during all
OF the meetings, and We think the
movement will result in great good to
our community.
On next Saturday evening we ex-
pect to be addressed by Hon. ii. G..
Thayer and others, OF Plymouth.
The Murphy movement is very pop
ular in this part of the county, and
at almost every school house the peo-
pie are asking for speakers to ad-
dress them and organize societies.

who have seen so many men III their
own city reformed. in the past seven
months. 60 out, five or six together,
and help these men inaugurate the
temperance reform, and help save our
young men and old men from falling

drink.

He says that the Southern brigadiers
deemed it wiser to obtain that favor
now, when it seems to be one Of the
good natured things this easy-going

from colonies down to second lieu

diers will see to it that the officers to

the States so as to equalize the rep

In this way, the correspondent con-
cludes, those who fought against the
flag will be recommissioned to fight
under it; and moreover, as soon as
they get back into the army they will
clamor for back pay. This CORES
pendent is thoroughly in earnest in
sounding a warning. but there are

be prepared to share his apprehen-
sions. Being @easy-going" Ameri-
