INVERTEBRATES AND BEN
NETT.

The Tusculum Record for Sep
TENDER says:
ave see in the Knoxville CHRoNI-
Gle communication from Mr.. Avery
Merriweather, over his own proper
signature, in defense of one D. NJ
Bennett, who is represented as an 'up
right, conscientious man. a particular
friend of Col. Robert I1gersoll, and
victim OF cruel, unjust persecution
by criminal named Anthony Conn
stock. Now this upright, conecen-
tious,' prosecuted Bennett, whose
morality is regarded as being
as pure and uDspotted rs that
of the best man in New
York, was lately brought before one
of the most honorable courts
in the land, aud after full and fair
trial he was found guilty of one of the
most iDhuman, degrading and lOaths
some crimes known to the law, that
of circulating through the mails ob~
scene literature. Papers and pictures
intended 10 polluie Innocent boys and
girls and prepare victims for beastIy
lust. Bennett being sentenced TO the
penitentiary, bis friends tried to turn
the world upside down With petitions
to President Hayes for executive
clemency. The petitions were accom-
panied with load threats of political
Reorganization aud vengeance in case
OF failure. After a patient inves iga-
ton, the Presiden. found 10 cause for
Interference, but has decide to let the
law take its just and reasonable course.
Anthony Comsiock, who is represent
ed as very bad man, is recognized by
| every respectable newspaper and
Christian minister acquainted with
him as good man and engaged in a
noble work.
We should like to recommend to our
young friend to be little more careful
for the sake Of his own reputation.
To Willy man as well known as An
thony Comstock, and laud and defend
another, the mention of whose name
in q respectable social company would
be a gross violation of com mon deem
cy, and will seriously en-.
danger the reputation of any
man..

THE POW-WOW OF SYRACUSE.

In the poW-wow at Syracuse,
there was an exhibition of living
power that has rarely been equalled
and never excelled in this country.
Democratic politicians may reason
ably claim superiority in the
strength of their lungs, which, like
their faces, appear to be made of
brass, but in the Syracuse circus
they have surpassed themselves
even, in the capacity for making a
great noise. Speech-making formed
very Insignificant part of the pro-
gramme, and what there was of
that, was so tame that while it was
going on, delegates took advantage
of the interval in the general up
roar to take quiet nap in their
seats. The principal speech was
made by Senator Herman, and dur
its delivery his friends who
remained awake looked bored
and felt a sense of relief
when he was through. Sun
set Cox, the funny man, made a
spread-eagle speech, which was
more acceptable than that Of the
Senator, because it displayed a
greater lung power.
When RUbiusUn's name was pre-
sented, it was received with ap-
plause, mingled with Kisses and cat
calls. His friends evinced a deters
mination to drown adverse express
sions Of contempt, to which the
Tammany gang responded with Wig
orous shouts, jeers and noisy
effort to bring the nominee into rid
icule. All through the speech made
by the delegate who presented bis
name, he was greeted with cheers
intermingled with Kisses, each fac
ton vieing with the other as Ito
which could make the loudest noise
and the most of it. ~
Then the name of General Slo.
cum was presented, and Tam
many made wild demon
stration, and succeeded sc
well in demonstrating their OWL
strength that they rose in a body.
throwing up their hats in the air
and fourishing them on their cane
Then delegate followed with q
speech bitterly abusive of Robinson.
during the delivery of which he
was laughed at by one side ale
cheered by the other. Governor
Dorsheimer then declared that il
Robinson were elected seventy-twe
delegates would leave the hall.
A few moments later, an Alban,
man, on harmony intent, presented
the name of Mr.. Jacobs for Cover
nor, and moved that he be nomi
mated by reclamation, at which
general tunult followed, when tht
Secretary of the Convention put thu
question and declared it carried. A
dozen men moved to take recess
but they could not have been heard
had they spoken with voice o
thunder. t G
After order was restored, MI
Jacobs, who was in the chair, de
clared that in putting the question
of his nomination by exclamation
the Secretary was out Of order
Another scene of great confusion
followed, and was kept up until
roll>caH was ordered, and after i
was commenced the Tammany dele
gates withdrew in body.
Robinson was then easily nomi
mated. The Tammany folks nomi
mated their leader, John Kelly, a
has been announced. Thus ende,
one of the noisiest, most disgrace

been known in this country. Den
mis- Kearney,with his ragamuffins o

could not have acted worse. It wa
a remarkable exhibition of lun
lower and brute force without
4ptible trace of decency, com
,se or patriotism.

Education In France.

The reason that NJ. Jules Ferry's
educational bills makes so much
excitement is, because it prohibits
the religious orders teaching alto
geiher. If it is asked why such an
apparently inyidious prohibition
should be proposed for enactment
into law in France. Gambetta has
repeatedly answered the question
in speeches delivered at various
points. He affirms that the relig-
ious orders teach a hatred of mod
ern civilization also. This is the
main allegation in his indictment
Of the religious orders as ipstruc-
tors of the youth in France. Their
pupils enter life not only with a
distrust and hatred of the new
social and political order, but with
longing Tor the restoration of the
old political regime. The effect of
their instruction, it is alleged, is TO
devide France into hostile camps
OF liberals on the one hand and
reactlonists on the other, which
keep the perpetual menace Of civil
war hanging over her, and a final
and permanent adjustment Of the
French Government on the basis of
modern ideas an impossibiIiiy.

pressure Of blood in the vessels
where stasis has already taken

this account, when we wish TO re-

ought to make our poultices in a
