SENATOR CLAPP'S GREAT
SPEECH.

We have read in the Nashville
American a comparatively brief
synopsis of Senator Clapp's great
speech on the State debt question,
one of the ablest and most states
manlike ever delivered in the State
Capitol. It was able, convincing,
thorough, and covered all the
ground. Its delivery occupied
about FIVE hours, during which time
the Senate chamber, Hobbies and
galleries were crowded with specta-
tors, anxious to hear what the Sen
stor had to say and to show their
sympathy for his cause by their
presence. He handled his subject
with all the skill Of a master, and
swept away the sophistry advanced
by the advocates of reputation as
SO many Insignificant cobwebs, to
be seen through at a glance. He
noticed the arguments of Sen
stors Wilson and Savage, and
showed their utter nothingness.
After he was through, the repudia-
tiOnists had absolutely no ground
to stand upon. He challenged the
proof that Of all the $22,000,000
of bonds constituting our State
debt, there was a single bond that
had been fraudulently issued. In
fact he left nothing for the repudia-
tiOnists to say in justification of
their disgraceful policy. We are
not surprised to hear that Gov
ernor Marks, after this great speech
and the manner of its reception,
contemplates sending in a special
message, recommending a settle
ment of the debt at fifty cents on the
dollar ana four per cent. interest,"
point far in advance of his original
position. In the light of Senator
Clapp's exposure, the Governor
sees that he has invoked a spirit of
dishonor, destruction and degrada-
ton, which he would feign control if
he can. We give him credit for
opening his eyes, even at this late
day, and under the operation of so
powerful q stimulus, but he is yet
partially blind. Would to God tina:
he might have his full sight re-
stored.
Senator Clspp deserves the
thanks of every State credit man
in the State, and of every friend of
Tennessee, in or out of the State.
His speech may prove the turning
point in our history as State,-the
rock upon which the piratical vessel
of reputation is to break and 60
down to ruin, to be heard of no
more, we trust.

TILDEN'S MORTGAGE.

The New York Tribune says that
Mr.. Tilden's ability as a drainer of
railroad mortgages has been admit
ted long ago, but thinks his ability
as holder of mortgages on polit-
zeal party is just beginning to be
understood. 1t says:

Another Terrible Case.

For several years past we have been
collecting incidents of men, wrongly
convicted, after apparently fair trials,
and sentenced /; but eventually discov-
cred to he Innocent, after having been
hanged, or forced to undergo years of
disgraceful punishment. We may.
perhaps, one day publish these cases
in order to caution the public, and
especially the courts, to be very care
full in making up judgments against
accused persons, where the evidence be
not full and explicit. Here is the most
recent case of acquittal after twice
seeing the day of execution dawn
DONALDsvILLE, March 1S.-l suppose
that most of your readers nave heard of
the cold blOoded murder which took
place IN this county on the Goth of
December, 1877, and which is well
known IN thlsu country as the Frank
lin murder. jeff David was convicted
at Abbeville as the perpetrator of this
horrible crime, and sentenced to be
hanged. The Governor gave him sev>
Aiol lSopltIo, iIld Tx iIdl SCLt "
the Penitentiary for safe keeping.
This morning it appears that Joe
Arnold is the murderer, and not jeff
David. A Mr.. Pleasant Sullivan, of
Laurens, has been working patiently
at the case for some time. Sullivan
suspected that Joe Arnold was guilty
of the murder, and SO directed special
attention to developing evidence to
confirm his suspicious. Some time af.
ter the murder he hired the wonlan
who was living with Joe Arnold as his
wife, at the time of the murder, to
cook foc him. lie succeeded in gain
ing her confidence, and few days ago
she came out and told the whole story,
duplicating herself, Joe Arnold and
another negro man, named Fisher.
A warrant was obtained for Arnold
and Fisher, who were IN Anderson.
They were digging a we'll when the
posse came to arrest them. Fisher was
drawing out the dirt and Arnold was
down in the well the former made
his escape after being pursued for a
mile or so. The well proved a safe
prison for the latter, whence he vas
taken and lodged in the Jail at Ander-
son G.. III.
Mr.. Sullivan went home, informed
the woman of the arrest of Arnold and
secured her by giving her lodgings in
the same house with her former hus-
band.
Every one must certainly commend
he wisdom of the Governor in this
case. Had jeff David been hanged all
would have regretted it.

Blue Eyes Dark Hair
and VS.. and
Flax leads Brown Skins.

The gold-spectacIed Philosopher of
| the Richmond State falls into the fol-
lowing fearful fallacy ::
The most complete victory ever
won in the wars of fashion has just
been scored for the brunettes against
the blondes. The fiaxen-haircd tyrants
are at last driven to the wall, and the
dark-tressed sisterhood, which has so
long waited hopefully and patiently
for its day, steps forward and Il
the throne. No more yellow or red
hair, no more coloring, bleaching, or
''wigging." Black now is your only
wear, and the golden fleece is nowhere.
Nor do these proud blonde queens who
have SO suddenly come to grief deserve
one tear of pity. They were cruel and
relentless t%yrants, the greatest des-
pots the world has ever seen,
and while they ruled were absolute
and merciless. In vain did
their d~ark-haired and black-eyed
and Drowned sisters appeal to them for
justice. 1t was not awarded. With
naughty mien and proud disdain they
arrOgated to themselves the admiration
of the world, made a corner in tops
and dandies, and monopOlized the
whole male race, including even the
bald old bachelors, who slavishly
crOuched at their feet and submitted
to their yoke, bound and fetterId by
their golden tresses and auburn curls.
But now their reign is over; the fiat of
fashion has gone forth and cannot be
changed. The law is absolute, and the
blonde must give way to the brunette,
the yellow and auburn to the brown
and black. "Io Triomphe y But
it only serves them right and now
perhaps these naughty blondes will be
glad to have the admiration even of
some Of these triangular and plain
young men they SO mercilessly spubbed
in the height of their power and pros
perity, and as for the triumphant bru-
n~ettes, like our friends the Democrats,
they should wear their new honors
with becoming modesty and rule in
gentlcness."

ces are very numer-

other like excressences are very numer-
Gus, and vary IN almost every country.
One mode of charming them away is
to take an elder shoot and rub it on
he part; then cut as many notches on
the twig as you nave warts. bury it in
a place where it will soon decay: and
as ii rOts away, the warts VIII disap-
pear. This Is a Southern charm. In
Yorkshire and throughout the North
generally, the cure for warts is to take
Il black snail and rub the excressences
with it then impale it on a thorn, and
leave it to perish. As it dries up and
disappears, the warts will vanish. Ac-
cording to another form of the charm,
the warts must be rubbed with a fresh
snail for nine successive nights. Still
another wart charm is TO take the shell
of a broad bean, and rub the affected
part with the inside thereof; bury the
shell and tell no one about it; and as it
withers away, so will the warts.
Charms are still worn. The "lucky
BONE" for instance, is calculated to
protect against all sorts of adverse in
%t1uences. 1t is a bone taken from the
head of a sheep; and is that of a T
cross, may, perhaps have something to
do with the talismanic virtue with
which it is indued. This form of sa-
cred symbol is frequently found on
Druidical monuments. II North
a~mptonshire, and also in Yorkshire,
the fore foot of a hare, worn constantly
in the pocket, is considered a fine
charm against ''rhcumatiZ." Scot. in
his dictionary Of WitchcrQtt, mentions
the bone of a hare's foot, which he says
''mitigateth the cramp.' Another
charm for rhematism. which, however,
the writer has not only met with in one
part, that is in Birmingham, is the po-
tato. So long as it is carried in the
pocket, the bearer will never suffer
from malady. Probatum est ! is the
conclusive dictum of two old ladies.
One of the same DANES communicated
the following spell to prevent a thorn
from fostering, which she said, she had
been taught as a child
..Our Saviour was of a virgin born.
His head was Crowned with a crown of
thorn
1t never cankered nor festered at all.
As / hope in Christ this never shall"
Similar rhymes may still occasional ly
be heard in the country parts !; but
they seem generally to be giving place
to more dismal superstitions. 1t would
take too much space in this article to
90 into the virtue of written talismans
for causing of curing love for healing
diseases, and procuring luck but the
reader may take it tor granted that
there are plelty of professors of this
great art ready to impose on the credu-
lous, and still greater numbers ever
ready to be duped by them.-Hdrpe,'s

he says that another bill upon the sub
ject was passed, but this one was never
acted upon by either House, and en-
rolled and ratified by mistake while

"A G E HARvEsT.-Col. Eshbaugh,
Grandmaster of Missouri Grange.
writes of the western part of that
State -
There seems to be a kind of pigeon
harvest IN this part Of the State. The
Wild pigeons have pre-empted or
squatted upon a few sections of land
some ten or twelve miles west of Poplar
Bluff, and that locality is now known
as pigeon roost. This army of pigeons
roost there regularly every night, and
as regularly in the morning leave camp
about sun rise, or a little before, and
daylight is somewhat darkened by the
thousands of these birds, as they fly
over the country foraging, but never
all return at night, as nearly every
shooting iron in the whole country is
brought into use as a pigeon-killer.
We even saw a lady standing in her
dOOr-yard with a dOuble-barrelled shot
gun, blazing away at a flock as they
flew over, and she got the drop on a
sufficient number to make a respectable
size pot-pie.
Large numbers are shipped daily to
different markets, and those that es
cape the marksman's shot will prOba-
bly, remain here during the Matching
season, and if their numbers were not
reduced they would doubtless reduce
the yield of wheat to some extent.
