They do things queerly down in Ala
bama. Instead OF sending convicted
criminals to prison, they sentence them
70 "labor for the county" for certain
specified term, and then the county hires
them out to farmers. contractors, etc.
Here is the way the thing works: Some
months ago man named Kimbrell kill
ed another man in Walker county. He
had his trial last week, was found guilty
of manslaughter end vas sentenced to
."labor for the county one year," where
upon his brothers Clipped in and hired
him of the county for $50 and took him
home. This is new way of whipping
the devil around the stump" but it is by
no means the first nor even the most
striking instance of the mockery of law
and justice in that section of this free
country.-Learen,corth Times.

Gathering Chips and Getting Into a Row.
The banks that skirt the progenitor of
rivers in the vicinity of the transfer house
were the scene of ludicrous battle yester-
day afternoon between the Gardner and
Prelat families, the latter coming out second
best. About noon yesterday Mrs. Prelat
sauntered along the banks of the murmuring
river to muse on the feeting shows of life
and gather chips. 1t was good day for
chips and the thrifty housewife was collect
ing considerable fuel when her attention was
attracted by the appearance of Mrs. Gardner,
who sought to engage in the same laudable
undertaking. ..-.....
Possession is nine, tenths of the law, and
Mrs. Prelat gave her neighbor to understand
that she didn't propose to be supplanted;
she had pre-empted the chip layout and
was going to hold the fort if she remained
till snow flew. The conversation became
lively and ripened into shuttlecock buzz of
recrimination. Finally Mrs. Gardner is said
to have hit Mrs. Prelat with billet of wood.
The music commenced in dead earnest and
was becoming interesting when Mr.. Gardner
dawned on the scene and is said to have set
tied the row by dumping Mrs. Prelat in the
river.
A warrant was issued for the arrest of Mr.
and Mrs. Gardner on complaint of Mrs. Pre-
lat yesterday afternoon and the examination
will take place this morning. ~ ..a+

THE NEXT PRESI

There are few doubling Thomases
among the Democrats of this vicinity who
seem to regard the loss of Ohio by the Dem
ocracy on Tuesday as fatal to tho prospects
of that party in the Presidential contest of
next year. Such men have evidently paid
but little attention to the aspect of affairs as
presented by the latest elections held in the
North and West. careful survey of the
field shows that the Democrats are not as
liable to defeat as would appear at first
glance, but stand more than an even chance
of success. In the North the Democracy
can safely lay claim to the States Of Con-
necticut, Indiana, New Jersey and New
York. There may be some who will dispute
the possibility of carrying New York. The
present split in the Democratic ranks may
lose the State for the Democrats at the elec-
ton next month. But year hence this dis
sension will be healed, and the Democrats
will present solid front. With united
Democracy the State is certain to cast it's
electoral vote for the candidate of the party,
whoever he may be.

"PERSONAL ATTACKS ,,

We should infer from the MINNEAPOLIS
Tribune that Gov. Pillsbury was some sacred
creature who should not be criticised. It is
whimpering and whining about the "per-
sonal attacks" of the GLOBE upon his dis
tinguished excellency, and declaring that
everybody is going to vote for .Pillsbury
in order to resent them. Now let Us see
about this: The GLOBE states that
Gov. Pillsbury is endeavoring to secure a
THIRD term. -.....
Gov. Pillsbury accepted $500 house rent
per annum from the State when living in his
own house at Minneapolis, and not even
having rooms at St. Paul ....
Gov. Pillsbury has given less time to the
discharge of the duties of his Office than
any preceding Governor. ID
Gov. Pillsbury aided in securing the pas
sage of the Stacy bill, which inaicts the
swlndling brass kettle on the farmer, and
vetoed the Campbell bill, which abolished
the swindle. This was in the interest of the
wheat and millers ring, and he is one of the
leading millers of the State.
On the strength of Gen. Jennison's state
ments, one of the leading Republicans of
the State, the GLOBE has accused Gov. Pills
bury of resorting to bargains and sales,
trades and betrayals to secure the nomi-
nation. ..ss

THE Ohio election, say some, means Grant
as the Republican candidate for President
next year. We fail to see how this can be a
natural sequence of the misfortune of the
Democratic ticket, but If it should prove to
be the case there need be no fear that Grant
will be elected. Grant would be strong
candidate in some localities, but in others
would be the weakest man in the country.
