JUDGE CHISHOLM, of South Caro-
lima, has decided that a man may
legally whip his wife, provided he
does so without anger, aud for the
purpose of salutary discipline. Judge
Chisholm is an old bachelor, or he
would never have rendered such a
decision as that. If he had been
married TO red-headed woman, with
a sharp nose and thin lips, he would
have stuck his right hand in the fire
before he would have allowed it to
write the decision. "Salutary dis
cipline," indeedl It's the better
half that does up the discipline in
the household OF the average hus-
band in this Christian world. Judge
Chisholm il a humbug. He may be

THE correspondent of West Ten

Memphis to purchase ten thousand
BilIy-goats and turn them loose in
the city. He says the peculiar odor
emitted by the William goats will
purify the atmosphere, drive away
the fever and render the city healthy.
There is as much sense in this as in
any of the theories we have seen pro-

WE think our people made a mis-
take in having the charter of incor.
poration of the town of Rogersville
repealed. The streets are going to
the bad. Drunken men and worth
less boys are prowling around loose,
doing all the devilment they can in
vent. The upper part of the court
house is being converted into a
gambling hell. the lower halls smell
bad and the glass is being broken
out OF the windows by drunken men
and bad boys. When sensible men
make a mistake they ought to be in
a hurry to correct it. Let us re-
charter the town and have a town
constable-one that will arrest every
man that has a pistol, every one that
CANDLES. every one that is noisy on
the streets; one that will enforce
the laws without favor or affection
toward any one. Let US have the
town incorporated.

The people of Tennessee voted
the 50.4 compromise down. Now
what? Are we out of debt? The
vote means reputation. 1t means
that majority of the people are not
willing to pay any portion of the
bonded debt of the State. 1t is
true there was a very light vote
cast. but our notion is, if there had
been a heavier vote, the majority
against Accepted" would have been
.proportionally increased. The sem
timent in favor of repudiating the
debt has been steadily growing for
several years, and the more the ques-
ton is discussed the more that senti-
ment will grow. The fact is the
people have got it into their heads
that this debt has been fastened up.
on them by corrupt politicians. and |
there is no earthly way to get that
notion out of their heads. The lead
ing men of the State are in favor of
paying the debt. The common peo-
pie, who have the taxes to pay. are
opposed to it. That is where the
,rouble comes from. The best thing
hat can be done now is to let this
question rest for a year or two-Iet
he people have time to think coo lily
