Some Of our readers who are sup
piled with the LEDGER by carriers
have requested that the second edition
be sent to them. This they will un-
derstand is not practicable, as the last
edition comes out at4 o'clock, and the
carriersxwould not reach the end of
their routes until between and Z
O'Clock, when many places of business
would be shut up and others would
have been supplied by news boys. The
first edition contains all the news that
can be gathered up to 2 o'clock, which
is as late as afternoon papers are gen
orally kept open in other cities. Tel
egraphic matter, however, usually
continues to be received until after 3
o'clock, and by issuing later edition
We can give the cream of the news
from the great news centers of the
world. The first edition contains as
much as can be secured up to or
little later by wire or otherwise.
Those who choose to buy tickets and
take the paper across the counter can
get either edition at the triHing price
of two cents a copy, at which no one
can complain. In Northern cities the
afternoon papers often issue three or
four editions, in order to get in the
latest special or regular telegraphic
dispatches. The experiment has not
been tried here before, but it works
admirably and gives general satisfac-
tion. No complaint has reached us
from our readers, and no others have
been consulted.

1T is announced that two-thirds Of
the holders Of Tennessee bonds have
assented to the proposition of the
legislature to settle at fifty cents on
the dollar with four per cent. interest,
and that Governor Marks will shortly
issue proclamation ordering an cleo
tion to take the sense of the people on
the proposed adjustment. The bond
holders would certainly lessen their
chances Of getting anything in the next
decade by refusing to agree to the very
liberal offer made with some heSitency,
and after much discussion by the
legislature. There are many people
in the State who will vote for fifty
cents. settlement, and yet believe it is
more than VIC ought to pay. There
are good reasons for calling this a
liberal proposition. These we are pre-
pared to give. Yet if the people
decide to assume the perpetual
burdens of taxation consequent upon
this settlement, we shall cheorfully
bear our portion of the obligation.

DisgraceruI Performances.

UTICA, N. Y, April 28.-Rev. G.. B.
r. Clarke, pastor Of the Universalist
Church at Rome, N. Y, was recently
accused of immoral conduct, and dis
missed from his charge. Clarke
pleaded insanity as an excuse, and
underwent a treatment for lunaoy.
The claim of insanity is understood to
be a subterfuge to escape punishment.
He is now in a sound condition of
mind, and having, as is alleged, again
allowed his wicked passion to run away
with him, trustee of the church has
preferred charges against the accused
preacher before the committee of the
Oniversalist State convention. The
case will be held in this city during
the third week in May.
The charges are elaborate, and cover
about every imaginable grade of moral
rottenness. Clarke is young, and a
great favorite with the ladies. He
boarded at the best hotel in Rome,
and, not content with making love to
the servant girls, it is said, carried his
deyiltry to the extent of eorrupting
children in the hotel.
One specification is that the clergy
man secreted himself in a room lead
ing off the bridal chamber of the ho-
tel, and subsequently made improper
advances to bride, and betrayed the
fact of his guilty eavesdropping. Not
withstanding the fact that the main
charges against him are known to his
parishioners, many assert his inno-
cence. Clarke carries himself brazen
~, and says this is a conspiracy as
damnable as the one against Henry

Verdict Of the Coroners Jury in the
Case Of Rev Mr., Todd.
The People Of Brinkley Exonerated
"A Malicious Canard Dis
-a posed Of.

LITTLE Rock, May After a six
days session the jury of inquest re-
assembled upon order of the coroner
to hear additional evidence, and after
considering all the testimony in the
case of Rev. Mr.. Todd,
Resolved, That We reaflirm our for
mer verdict as such jury, rendered by
us on the 9th ultimo and hereto at
tached, that no reproach should be
applied to the people of Brinkley for
the unfortunate event which we find
to be deplored by all good citizens of
that place.
Resolved, That Jerry Kelly, city
marshal, and his assistant, Samuel A.
Hoskins, in making the arrest, be
held subject to a judicial investigation.
Verdict: THAT the said w. NJ.
Todd came to his death by septiceania,
as deposed by Dr. w. A. Cantrell, from
post mortem held this day, and we
believe, from the evidence, that the
septiceania was caused by gun or
pistol shot wound, fired at Brinkley,
Ark, March 26, 1879, by Jerry Kelly,
city marshal, and his deputy, Samuel
A. Hoskius, who shot him while run
ming from arrest, and we believe the
subsequent exposure in Cache Bottom,
wi thout food or medical attention,
caused his wound to assume such a
fatal character.

REPUBLICAN INsINGFR1rY

The Democratic congress will make
some provision for feeding the army;
the Republican President, who was
declared elected and counted in by the
use Of the army, would let the troops
starve rather than yield the last rem
nant of despotic power by which his
party has so long terrorized the coun-
try and held on to office. The veto
was altogether weak document, al
though it is said to have been prepared
by Secretary Eyarts. The President
affects to believe that the house has
threatened to invade the prerogative
of the executive, and yet the house
has done nothing more than has been
done by every house since the Repub-
licans have been in power. In truth,
net so much, for this congress only
sought to repeal clause of certain
statute, while former congresses have
grated on very important legislation.
This bill merely proposed to take away
the unconstitutional authority of the
President over the army. Congress is
clearly within the limits of its author
ity. 1t is the President who defes
another branch of the government and
the whole American people. Let us
only suppose for moment that Mr..
Tilden were President, and it was
charged that he intended to use the
army in some States to secure a
Democratic victory in 1880. All
of Mr.. Conkling's magnificent elo-
quence would be then transferred to
the other side of the question, and
there would be constitutional revival
in the Republican party, 1t de-
pends very much who is to be
President whether they want troops
around the polls or not. The. Demo-
Gratis, however, are committed to free
elections, and will guarantee every
voter in the United States, regardless
of color or previous condition, birth
place, religion or politics, an unintimi-
dated ballot at every election. This
the Republicans will never do. They
draw line between the Irishman or
German and the New Englander be-.
tween the ex-Confederate and the
Union soldier; between the Democrat,
North or South, and the so-called
truly loyal Republican. They say that
the Union is restored and all are free
and equal, and yet in the next breath
express doubt as to the honesty and
patriotism of the Southern man. A
restored Union to their minds means
Northern ascendancy and Southern
thraldom. To them the Republican
party Is the government, ana all OUT
siders, whether they fought in the
Union army or not, are traitors and
rebels. Upon this idea they have
fought every Presidential election
since the war, and upon this same
line they propose to fight it out. The
Democratic party is the real constitu-
tional and Union party of the country,
and in the end will control its desti-
MES. We have gained much ground
in the last ten years, and can stand
even another defeat. Success is sure
in the end. We can afford to wait.
The next Presidential election can be
easily carried if we are united and de-
termined.
