The Princess Louise at the military II

The Princess Louise at the military re-
view in Toronto was, says a correspon-
dent, ''the plainest dressed woman in
sight. She wore short riding habit, de
cidedly the worse for wear, hole in it
being conspicuous. There was not a bit
of trimming on it anywhere; the only
piece of color was buttonhole bouquet
Of bleeding hearts on green leaf. She
wore plain linen roll collar, fastened
with a stoneless gold brooch. Her ear
ring were large pearl drops. Her face
was shielded by black veil, with large
black spots, and her gloves were OF dog
skin"

NOT GUILTY
Was the Verdict Rendered by the
Jury in the Gully--Chishoim
Trial.

DeKalb, Miss, September H.
At four o'clock yesterday afternoon
the sick juryman in the Gully muir
der case expressed himself as feel
ing well enough to listen to EVIL
dence for an hour or two. The de
Tense introduced a number sof wit,
nesses toprove the character OF de,
PENDANT.
The defense closed its case at 5:35
yesterday afternoon.
This morning the jury retired for
a short time TO make an examina-
ton of the Jail in which the murder
was committed. Upon their return
the prosecution introduced one wit
ness in rebuttal, +. L. Lincoln, for
mer sheriff, to prove that the lock
on the door at the head of the stair
way in the Jail had been changed
since the shooting occurred. At
ten o'clock a.. M, the evidence was
all in, and argument opened for the
prosecution by District Attorney
Ford, who was followed by Thomas
II. Woods, of Meridian, and l.. NJ.
Meeks, of Columbus, Miss, for the
defense, and by Judge Joshua S.
Morris, of Vicksburg, who made
the closing argument for the prose
cution. Council were limited to two
hours on each side.
In outlining the case for the
State, the district attorney summed
up all the facts in the evidence go
ing to show conspiracy Oh the part
of defendant aud others to murder
Chisholm, as q result of which Cor
nelia Chisholm was killed. These
facts consisted principally of the
actions on the part of citizens at
the burial of John w. Cdulley the
evening before the killing of CHS
holm, together with the declara-
tons made by defendant and others
on that day.
DeKalb, Miss, Sept. 12.--When
the court convened this morning
for q continuation of the Gully
murder trial, the juryman who had
been sick was provided with a bed,
upon which he lay during the con
Guiding argument Of Judge Morris
for the prosecution. The latter
maintained that Il conspiracy was
formed to kill Chisholm and Gil
mer, and that their arrest on the
charge of murder vas a step taken
for the purpose of disarming them
and getting them into u situation
where they could not defend them
selves, nor be defended, and where
they could be killed with less dan
ger to their ASSISTANTS.
Judge Morris closed his argu-
ment at 1890 o'clock, and the case
was then given to the jury, who in
less than half an hour returned with
a verdict OF not guilty.

Up in the office holding and
Huyesized State of Ohio u great
political war is raging, and one
that is drawing out all the men Of
ability of both the democratic aud
republican parties. The radicals
are making II DEATH like struggle to
maintain the supremacy of the
State, and az she has furnished u
greater number of Office. holders for
the fraudulent administration than
any other commonwealth III the
Union it is natural to suppose the
administration will throw all the
weight possible in the contest, and
the radicals are spending thon.
sands OF dollars in cndeavoring to
carry the State tor the stalwartS.
So tor the democrats seem to have
n decided advantage, and intend
to push their enemies 10 the wall.
The republicans were unfortunate
in selecting Foster as their can
didate for governor, while the dem.
ocrats were extremely fortunate in
selecting General Ewing as their
standard bearer,
The democrats have many able
speakers upon the hustings, but
none more sc than Hon. a. e.
Thurman, who opened out upon the
stalwarts of Ohio last week. In
his opening speech he thus clearly
aud truthfully states what radical
ism wants and why it wants it.
Said he in his speech:
alt is not, therefore, Il fear of
secession, or Of the re-estabIish-
mcnt of slavery, that prompts the
radical leaders to degrade and de-
base the States. The cause lies far
deeper than that. 1t grows out of
the long and never-ending effort of
consolidated capital, seeking spe-
cial privileges by means Of legisla-
ton; privileges that the mass of
people do not eujoy. The holder of
government bonds desires a strong
national government, in the belief
that such a government would give
greater security and value to his
bonds. The mammoth railroad
corporation, running through many
States feels FESTIVE under what it
considers the annoyances or State
legislation. 1t would greatly pre-
fer to State charters, or State licen-
SEES, a national charter rendering it
independent of the States. The
national bank interest, with its two
thousand and odd banks, destined,
if the system continue, to be tripled
or quadrupled in number in no long
period of time, looks with compla-
ccncy on the legislation of congress
that has destroyed the banking in
situations of the States and given
to the national system a monopoly
OF the issue and profits of bank
paper money. The high tariff pro
tectionists aud the seekers of sub
alike desire a government of
almost unlimited power to crafty
their wishes and foster their
schemes. In n word, almost or
quite every form of concentrated
wealth, except real estate, desires,
by construction or otherwise, to
add icy power to the already ire
.endous powers possessed by the
national government"
