Last week, at Knoxville, w. f.
Yardley, Esq, whose fame as a col
ored Republican politician is not al
together confined to the limits of
that city. was accused of stealing a
watch from a DIR. G. T. Lour, late
of Illinois, while attending an exhi-
ton at the Opera house. Lour was
indicted by Yardley for assault, and
Yardley was indicted by Lour for
stealing. Yardley was acquitted by
the magistrate and then sued Lour
for damages, attaching his horses,
buggy and jewelry, to await the re-
suit. Before proceeding with the
trial, Yardley presented some sort
of a written statement to Lour for
signature. Upon Lour's refusal to
sign the paper Yardley went for him
vigorously with big stick. Lour is
represented as presenting pitiable
specimen of Illinois Stalwar tism as
he stood reciting the unkind treat
ment he had received at the
hands of the most distinguished col
ored Republican Of the State after
he had fought four years to give
freedom to his race. No wonder he
was not happy

Feeble Ladies',

Those languid, tiresome sensations.
causing you to feel scarcely able to be

full can easily be removed by the use
of that marvellous remedy Hop Bitters.
Irregularities and distractions Of your

The Chattanooga Times in noting the
return of number of parties who Jess
than year ago went to the West and
Southwest to better their fortunes, says:
Returning emigrants are becoming num-
erous. They come back in every man
ner, by railroad, ia wagons and Rfoet.
AS rule they wear a woe-begone eK-
preston which cOnvinces one that the
land "fows not in milk and honey" for
them. The only reason that more do
not return, is that they do not have the
means. Their sad experience is teach
ing them that there Is no better climate,
soil and society under the sun than in
the homes they left. The farmers in
this country are now beginning TO 6nd
this out, and the oftener they are re-
minded of it, the better of they will be.

TIE COUNT OUT IN MITNE

The COUNT OUT IN MAINE.
Governor Garcelon and his coun-
ell have given the election returns
a general overhauling and have
thrown out both Democratic and
Republican returns on the ground
of legal informalities and technical
ties. The result counts the Repub-
lican members from ninty down to
fifty-eight and the Democratic mem
bers from sixty-one up to seventy
eight. This gives the Democrats
majority in both branches OF the
Legislature. The Republicans in
Louisiana and Florida taught Gov.
Garcelon how to do it. Tit for
tat" is a very exciting game among
children, but it often winds up in
bloody noses, bit ears and scratched
faces. 1t is a dangerous game for
children. When men get to playing
at it in election matters in country
like this, where the freedom of fifty
millions of people depend on the
fairness and purity of the elections
It becomes a matter of very serious
import. If Returning Boards OF
Councils of State can reverse the
returns OF an election, why, ther

our government is a failure with it
The ballot box must be untrammel
ed and free and the voice of ma
jority of the people as expressed

time for conservative. thoughtful
good men, of all parties, in this
Union, to stop and think; to take
our reckonings, as it were, and see
whittier we are drifting. Party
spirit has Deen running too high
lately. There is too much selfish
ness. too much corruption, too much
baseness on the part of some of our
public men. We are in great peril

At Bristol, last Tuesday, a fatal rem
counter, between Mr. W. T. Thomas, a
clerk in Mr.. j. NJ. Barker's store, and
w. H. RAIDER, a young lawyer, occurred
at the store of Mr.. Barker, in which Mr..
Thomas was fatally stabbed in the neck,
and died in few minutes, the jugular
vein and carotid artery on the left side
being cut in two by the stroke of the
knife. The homicide it is said, grew out
of the refusal of Thomas to credit RAIDER
for box of collars. Mr.. Thomas was an
upright, highly esteemed young gentle
man, and stood well in the community.
RAIDER was taken Wednesday, under a
strong guard, to Blountville, to be con-
fined in Jail until his case comes before
Court. The excitement over the affair,
and Indignation towards the murderer,
continued at d high ehb, but no violence
was offered.

TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette:
On last Sabbath evening, at the NJ. E.
Church in this place, it was our good
fortune to listen to one of the ablest and
most exhaustive temperance lectures we
have ever heard. The lecturer was our
tOWnsman, Rev. T. p. Summers. His
address was delivered at the request OF
the Lodge of Good Templars at this
place. At the commencement, he an.
nOunced that it was not his purpose to
preach a sermon, and yet he proposed
to read text of scripture as the foun-
dation of his remarks. He read from
the book of Judges, CHI. 5, v. 90: Course
We MerOZ," &c. He showed from sta.
tistics the enormous hold that intemper.
ance has on all parts of the countryside
incalculable harm it Is doing and has
done to all classes, financially, morally
and in every other way. Then as a coun-
terpart to the dark picture, he showed
the rapid strides that are being made by
temperance organizations toward the
emancipation of the race from its bond
age to this blighting, rse-bearing ty-
rant But we cannot give an adequate
idea of the lecture, unless we could re-
port it in full. And, even then, no one
who did not hear it could form any just
conception of its force and effect, for
the earnest zeal evinced by the speaker
had much to do in giving effect to his
lecture. His audience was large and
gave the most profou1d attention to the
ecture.
