THE Enquirer-Snn, published in
Columbus, Ga, and which is, as a mat
ter of course, Bourbon among Bour,
bons, has the following comparison to
make between Jay Gould and Sam
Tilden:
"Gould is regarded as heartless
speculatOr. He is the owner OF the
New York Tribune, the most stalwarI
and radical of Republican papers. TC
the appeal of the Howard Associate q
at Memphis he sent check of S5 600
In addition he tells the acting Presi-
dent TO go on with the work aud he
will foot the bills. Jay Gould professe Q
no friendship for our people. His
money is sent for their deliverance
from suffering, disease, and death
Gould has family. The whole Sonth
voted for Tilden for the hiy hest office
in the land. He is worth millions and
is a bachelor. Last year the aff1isted
yellow fever sufferers appealed TO the
world for aid. Mr.. Tilden subscribed
$3.50. Toes anybody want to vote for
such boodless fossil again? What a
contrast exists between the speculatOr
and the selfish, bloodIess politician. !"
Sammy's "bariP' has been employed
lately among the poor and needy in
the New York wards, but may be he
will come to time now.

burial of John W. Gulley the even

together with the declarations made
by the defendants and others on
that day. The defense, up to this
hour, has been forcibly presented.
The case has not yet been given to
the jury. Cole Meeks is now
speaking for the fence. It has
always been a practice in this dis
trict for the District Attorney to
close for the State, but he has in
this instance left the closing argu-
ment to Judge Morris. This de-
parture from the usual practice has
created some comment among those
attending the trial. The jury will
retire shortly.

The Chisholm Tlial,

DEKALB, MISS, supt. 11.-At
four o'clock p. m. yesterday, the
sick .juryman in the Gully murder
case, expressed himself as feeling
well enough to listen to the evidence
for an hour an hour or two. The
defense introduced a number of
witnesses to prove the character of
the defendant. The defense closed
its case at $50 yesterday afternoon.
This morning the jury retired for a
short time to make an examination
of the Jail in which the murder was
committed. Upon their return the
prosecution introduced one witness
in rebuttal F. L. Lincoln, former
Sheriff J to prove that the lock on
the door, at the head of
the stairway in the Jail,
had been changed since the
shooting occurred. At 10 a. NJ,
the evidence was all in. Argument
was opened for the prosecution by
District Attorney Ford, who was
followed by Thomas H. Woods, of
Meridian, and L. M. Moeks, of
Columbus, Miss, for the defense,
and by Judge Joshua S. Morris, of
Vicksburg, who made the closing
argument for the prosecution.
Counsel 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 evi,
dence going to show conspiracy on
the part of the defendant and
others to murder Chisholm, as q
result. of which Cornelia CHS
holm was killed. These facts
consisted principally Of the actions

slowly dispersed.

approached him with the question. "Ah,

this morning. Did you get my cardH"
ayes" said the Senator dryly, II go:
the card; but what did You mean by writ

"Ob, that" said the young gentleman,
evidently delighted at being able to give
information, that, you know, means
'en personne;' in other words, left in

"Yes. yes" said the Senator medita-
lively, II see."
The next day Mr.. McCreery again met
the young man, and this time going up
to him, said, '"Ah, by the way, called
on you this morning; did you get my
card?"
"Yes, sir; yes" was the reply, II got
it; but, say Senator, what in the world
did you mean by writing IS. b. A. NJ
in the corner Of it?'
