The Murderer OF Cooper Ac-
OUIlfad

Hut. Amarino has been acquitted,
at Maryville, Of the murder Of JoEa
Cooper, ION of Joseph A. Cooper.
The MaryEil!e correspondent Of the
Knoxville Tribune saya:
The people Of Dlount county have
taken great interest in the trial, and
opinion has been divided rs to the re-
suit. but the majority Of people have
believed from the first that A.nariac
would be- acquitted. ii is generally
believed that If the State had had
the testimony Of Burnett and Owens.
two Of the posse that were with w.
r. Cooper when John Cooper was
killed, the defendant would have been
convicted. This left a link ont Of the
testimony, or rather appeared to, and
hence the acquiltal. Tho friends of
Amarine are jubilant over the acquit
tai, but dread the trial that lie 10 come
before the Federal Court. The de-
fendlnts were remandcd to Jail, as
they are indicted for shooting Snyder
Mt the same place on the day before
John Cooper was killed. J he verdict
of a great many people is Of the

Most Too Hard on TeIns.

The following purportS to be from
the Dallas correspondent Of the Cat
zette, published at Elmira, New York:
"a Sunday in the city OF Dallas will
convert n man quicker than seventeen
ermons on hellfire. There is 4 fine Of
one hundred dollars for carrying re-
volver in some parts Of the State, but
in 4 crowd of 4 hundred men you'll
find ninety-nine revOlyers, and the
other fellow will either have a knife in
his boot or a shotgun on his shoulder.
| don't wonder that Northern farmers
return Disguised with the prospect Of
living in such communities as are
found here. A farmer in New York
State comes to town in Il respectable
rig; he has a team of horses, a Jackson
wagon, u leather harness. lie makes
his purchase, goes home to a comfort
able house, eats u nutritious supper
and sleeps on a clean bed. a Texas
farmer straddlcs a half-starved mule
and rides forty miles before reaching Il
place big enough to purchase a porous
plaster or Il wooden tooth-pick. They
are a hungry looking set. They live
because they have to, not because they
want to particularly; and when they
die, no one misses them except their

Der Of each year the County Trustee
is required to report to the County
| Superintendent the amount of school
money received and disbursed by him

force prompt returns of scholastic
and statistical reports from the clerks
and teachers. and of financial reports
from the clerks and teachers, and of
| financial reports from the Trustee.
Another important duty imposed
upon the County Supenntendents is

their hands to the Trustee, to be
placed on the credit Of their respec-
tive districts.
The District Directors are author

Another NJ urder.

From the Nash lille American we
learn Of the killing Of 10. G. French,
formerly Of this city, by a man named
Beaver, at Johnsonville, Tenn. The
following are the particulars
A man named Wash Beaver shot
and killed Joseph G. French, an m
ploye of the Chattanooga and Saint
Louis Railway, at Johnsonvillc, early
Thursday morning last. 1t is said
that on the night previous they quar-
relied over a game Of cards, in which
French won Beavers money. Heated
words were followed by a fight, and
French whipped Beaver. On getting
up yesterday morning, with the loss
of his money and the beating on the
night before fresh in his mind, he
swore he would kill French before the
sun went down. When French arose
he went with a friend in a saloon to
get u drink. They had scarcely en-
tered the saloon till they were follow
cd by Beaver, who was armed with a
stick, and at once attacked French,
striking him over the head with it..
Both then drew revolvers and simil-
tancously snapped a cap at each 9th.
or, neither weapon having been dis
charged. Beaver recocked his wea.
pom and fred, the ball passing though
French's right breast neal the nipple,
and ranging in the direction of bis
heart. When shot French exclaimed,
"Oh, Lordy and fell back dead.
They we're in q few feet Of each other
when the affray occurred. Beaver
walked out of the saloon, bareheaded,
with his cooked pistol in his hand,
and went down toward the Tennessee
river unmolested.

No Alliance with the Old PAT

Essex County (N. j. Express: The
abominable treachory or hopeless i'd
iocy which has led some Of the Green
hackers to fuse with the Democratic
party, and in other cases with the
Republicans, has had the effect OF
opening the eyes Of honest men who
are not very well up in the political
trickery of the old parties. Any ALI
ance with either the Democratic or
Republican parties, for any purpose
whatever, present or prospective, is
like the lying down together of the
lion and the lamb, with the lamb in.
side of the lion.
There is but one party that will Oh
can carry out honestly and fully the
principles of the Greonback party
and that is the party
that was organized to do it. VIZ are
glad, if the fusionists must be shown
the folly by Witnessing its results
that in Michigan, Ohio, and Other
places they have recently had a
chanco to see its operations and ef-
fects. In every instance it was dis
astrous to the Greenback party. On.
Iy where they fought under their OWL
flag did they win. Fusion not only
defeated them, but it annihilated the
party also. Our Greenback exchan.

sett, who murdered his five year old
child on Thursday, was arraigned ut

posture, and insisted that God would
fully justify their action, and relieve
them from all human punishment.
Quite "a number of adventist neigh
bors Of Freeman sustain him in his
course, many of them being well-to-
do farmers. Efforts will at once be
made to arrest some Of those who

Educational Meeting.

In response to a call OF County Sa~
p~crintendcnt S. w. Tindcll, n number
OF the Directors and Teachers of Brad
lev county met at the Masonic lnsti-
tute, in Cleveland, on Saturday, May
ID, at / o'clock p. N.
Superintendent Tiudeu having called
the house to order, was elected tempo
rarv chairman. lie then stated the
object of the meeting, viz: tc confer
with the Directors and teachers in re-
gard to the proprioty of establishing a
Normal School in this county during
the coming vacation, said school to
continue n month or six weeks. Prof.
b. T.. Atkins was then elected chair
man and Will. A. Cate, secretary.
Supt. Tindell said he had written to
State Supt. Trouslale to ascertain II
there could be any aid procured from
the Peabody Fund. The State Supt,
replied that there were no funds now
at his command, but recommended
that we help ourselves as the teachers
of Knox county helped themselves last
year.
Being acquainted with the manner
of obtaining funds for defraying the
expenses of the Knox county Normal
School, Supt. Tfndell stated that the
District Directors made a small appro-
priation from each district, which in
the aggregate was sufficient TO meet the
expenses of the school, and that there
was no charge for the teachers who at
tended. lie stated further that the
teachers Of the county were so well
pleased with their success that they
agreed to make up the time that was
lost to the district schools on account
of making the appropriation for the
support of the Normal School. In re-
Spouse to the question by the chairman,
"what have you to say in regard to n
similar movement in this county ?" the
replies showed that all were in faver OF
1t. Nearly all the teachers present ex-
pressed themselves as anxious that the
school should be taught. Some Of the
advantages such n school would be to
the schools of the county were pointed
out, and all the Directors present said
that they would favor making the mp
preparation.
g. As it Is necessary that there BIO as
many of the Directors as possible to-
gethcr, It was moved and carried that
another meeting be held at the Ma
sonic Institute in Cleveland, Saturday,
May 18th, at 10 Il. M, and that ever di-
rector and tcacher'in the county BIZ
earnestly requested to be present. Let
there be u full attendance. The move
ment is certainly worthy Of the con-
sideratlon Of every friend of education.
IL was also moved and carried that a
copy of the proceedings Of this meeting
be furnished to each of the county pa
'pcrs with the request thai the same be
published.
Adjourned to meet at the time and

She STOPPED to Conquer.

A temperance lecturer who has been
ut work In tho towns up 10 the Hudson
has been giving u reporter Of the kbsg-
sioa Courier page from his early ex-
psrisncs at Michigan. Previous to his
arrival In . small town whero he
intended TO do some work. the boys had
agreed among themselves to 90 to the
meeting but no. to sign the pledge. He
appealed in vain for recruits in the
Temperance cause. Not q man would
move. At this stage OF the proceedings
the belle OF the town sprang to her feet
and cried out: "Boys. this Is really too
bad. Won't you sign the pledgel" Not
= soul moved from his feet. Again the
fair belle appealed to the mems better
nature, but Il was Of no avail; they had
promised they wouldn't sign. Finally
the lady said: "Boys. I'll kiss the first
man who signs the pledge" At this
juncturs up jumped q tall backwoods-
man and dravinRly exclaimed: "Siss.
I'm yer huckleberry. Where's yer
pledgel" The brave girl kissed the fel-
low. and the cheering which followed
made the building rattle. This incident
broke the ice. and before the reformer
had left the town nearly every one had
donnsd the ribbon.
