cutOr and the prosecuted, fact which
may have partly suggested the defense
set up at the trial, where it was sought
to be shown that the prisoner believed
himself to be getting into his own
house without a latchkey. His sister
deposed that her brother lived with
herself and her mother when he was
at Luton, and quiet, as she iudici-
ously added. He was in the habit of
coming home late, and getting through
the window, though she did not say
that he came in shoeless on those
occasions. She also declared that he
was queer at times" and stared
yacaBtly about him, but local police
man, being appealed to for corrobora-
tion of the staring, declared that, in
his experience, the prisoner only
stared until he could find public
house, after which he ceased to stare,
being probably otherwise engaged.
The shoes, however, were too much for
the jury, and four months hard labor
will doubtless impress upon the bur
glariOus Samuel Taylor the import
ance of mentally distinguishing be-
tween the houses of Luton.

Upon the authority Of the Knox
Vile Tribune, we deny that Andrew
johnson ever said that not more than
$5OO,OOO of the outstanding bonds
were voted, but were fraudulent and
void. He could not have said so with
out stultifying himself, since So, 900, ,OOO
of the outstanding bonds were issued
by him, and since, in his speeches at
Shelbyville in October, 1874, and at
Nashville in May, 1874, he advocated
paying $75O,OOO per annum interest
which was three per cent. on the en-

A Curious OIdDarIxy.

0glethorpe (Ga.) Echol
There died last Friday evening at
Pleasant Hill mulatto named Henry
Thornton, who was noted throughout
the county for his industry and relia-
bility. He had accumulated some
property and owned fifty acres of land,
which, at the time of his death, was
brought up to high state of cultiva-
ton. Henry had always been a stanch
Democrat, and voted with his white
friends to help throw off the Radical
yoke. He was an important figure
with his race, and his voice was ever
raised in favor of peace and order.
He had been with Mr.. James NJ.
Smith since that gentleman first be-
gan to farm, and to show his re-
gard for the deceased he, at the an
nouncement of the old mans death,
went to the humble home to superin-
tend his interment. But the most
remarkable part of Henry's history is
that he was for years an avowed and
outspoken Mormon and openly prac-
ticed polygamy. In the same house
he had living two wives, and each had
blessed their husband with a large
family of children, and what was
more surprising the two women had
ever lived on the best Of terms and
were said to be sincerely attached to
each other. They worked for the
common good of the household and
appeared to treat their rival s offspring
as their own. Both, at the time O.
the husbands death, had young babie,
and appeared to nourish them il
common. Not being acquainted will

taneous response. Before his death
the deceased had made a will, be-
queathing his property jointly to the
tive women, with a codicil that they
must always hold it in common. He
had also requested that a post NOR
tenn to be held over his body, in order
that the cause Of his death might be
ascertajped. This was done by DR.,
W. NJ. Willingham, who found, as he
had predicted, that the deceased had
died from a ruptured tumor within
him. We learn that polygamy is
openly and generally practiped by the
negroes in this county, some of them
having as many as five wives living
under the same roof,

HERETOFORE in Great Britain the
liability of shareholders has been un-

GENERAL EWING had a splendid

eight handsome young ladies dressed

the name of the States inscribed

ment as used in his Lancaster effort.

THOSE DEPUTY MARSHALS


If Senator Wallace was wiifirg Ia
stop the investigation of the Philadel.
phia Deputy Marshals, the first man
who should have given cordial assent
TO it is Marshal Kerns. 1t required no
investigation by Senate committee
to satisfy the public of Philadelphia
that the list Of Deputy Marshals con
tained such well.known names in GRIM
inal circles as Dan Reading Joe Sinex,
James Brown, Rodney Stringfeld,
Frank McNapee, Michael slavin and
Philip Maddent and others who are
known to be keepers Of brothels or
gambling houses and yet many more
who were but drunken bullies at the
polls; and OF the nearly eight hundred
deputies appointed by Marshal Kerns
there were few names Of citizens whose
intelligence and reputation gave any
assurance of the protection OF the puri
ty of the ballot. And the defense Of
fercd by Marshal Kerns in the supple
ment of an organ with very small
circle of readers, was wisely given as
little publicity as possible, as it proves
nothing that is material beyond gen.
eral confession of the utter unftness Of
the appointments. Doubtless the par
tisan evidence taken before the Senate
committee was erroneous in some ol
its details, but the denial by convicts
and FOUNDERS, even under oath, is not
the best way to correct such errors, il
there are any. II any reputable Depu
ty Marshals have been falsely accused
there must be known reputable citizen:
who could and would promptly vindl
cate them; but that is done in the sin.
gle case of Mr.. Stringfeld.
The plain English of the whole bust
ness is that the party leaders put upor
Marshal Kerns the ungracions task o
putting party FOUNDERS just where thC
party needed FOUNDERS, and Of taking
care OF all the party bummers at the
cost of the government, to secure theil
services for election day. The party
chestnuts had to be pulled ont of tht
fire at the risk OF getting somebody
fingers badly singed, and as Marsha
Kerns had the authority and had grea
party expectations and party devotion
and great party elasticity and uncom
mon party smiability, he was given th'
hot end Of the party tongs to do thu
hot party work and take the racke
after election. He was well assured
that tho civil service reform policy o
the civil service reform administration
wouldn't endanger his Office by sucl
political variations, and the Sheriff
commission loomed up dimly in th,
misty distance as possible crown of hi
martyrdom. Howas for the party, tn,
party needed the FOUNDERS and crimi
mails, he thought that he might neec
them himself at the primaries one o
these days, and be amiably acccpte,
the hot end of the party poker because
there was nobody else who wanted u
burn his fingers for the sake OF gettinI
well hammered alter he had done il
Having done it, Marshal Kerns shoul,
devote himself to the study of silence
and, if Wallace will drop out of tho oplay
the best thing the Marshal can do ]
to ring down tho curtain and let it b
