Lawrenceburg.

Easter Sunday, 18th inst, found
us at 8 Am. pleasantly situated in
the presence of the G. z. Sabbath
school at Lawrenceburg. The int
rior of the church presented an at
tractiye appearance. Suspended
from the gallery was an arch of &c
dar bearing upon its centre the
beautiful devise of a star-repre-
senting the Star of Bethlehem
surrounded by the appropriate
words, "Glory to God in the high
est peace ON earth, good will to
ward men," Nearly over the cen
ter of each aisle were hanging
wreaths Of evergreen. We thought
of the immortal wreaths that shall
deck the brows OF the victOrs in the
Sabbath school army. Above the
middle pews, Immediately in front
OF the pulpit, was a depending arch
of cedar with a device bearing the
motto: "God bless our Sabbath
school" Our hearts were filed
with deepest and tenderest emo
ions as we silently and involunta
rily repeated the prayer, God bless
our Sabbath school" 1t was re-
freshing to fluid embraced in the
tender fold of this school the old,
middle aged and young-the silver
headed grand sire and the bright,
beautiful grandchildren-an ideal
school Mr.. Joseph Parkes, a vet
eran soldier in the 5 5. Army, with
deep and tender pathos, repeated
ono of Watts hymns which he
learned 60 years ago. This scene
impressed us with the incalculable
Importance of tracing the deep and
glowing lines of light, love and
truth upon the impressible hearts
of the young. The music was live
Iy. The beautiful River" we had
often heard before. but it seemed as
fresh and thrilling as when first its
inexpressible sweetness filed our
soul. We remembered and ielt the
truthfulness of what DIR. Talmage
had said: "If we had as much life
in our church music as in the ). )
songs, it would not be long before
the earth would quake with the
coming OF God" fCfU L-.Ts
Vespers at the Catholic church
held us entraDced from "a to 4 P. n,
having never before Witnessed the
ceremonies. Vain would be an 81
tempt to describe what we saw and
heard, the sprinkling of the sacred
water; the varied genuaections; the
signs of the cross; the magnificent
decorations of the church and altar
place; the beautiful bouquets and
wreathes of flowers ard evergreens;
the varied crucifixion scenes; the
splendor of the priestly robe, the
solemn litany; the uniformly mu
steal and prompt responses; the
chanting OF the choir; the organ
tones rolling in sweet diapason TO /,

the burning of tapeTs; the waving
of the censor; the rising of incense;

We desire TO further impress
upon our people the importance Of
sustaining the Stock Sales that are
to take place annually at the Fair
Grounds, and especially urge that
the people turn out en- masse at the
first sale. Everything points to a
grand success, but more is depend
ent upon the first sale than may be
imagined. Much of the stock en-
tered for the sale are thoroughbred :
and cost their owners much more
than they expect TO realize. Con
sequently this will afford the people
q chance to improve their breeds at
scrub prices. But the profit will
come in To stock men by creating a
demand for these finer breeds, which
viii in the end make the sales 90
OF at fancy prices. These men who
are Offering their stock have put 10
their very BEST and are to that ex-
tent benefactors. The profit that
will accrue to Giles county from a
success of the sales is incalculable.
We have the men with the money.

We think Major Sykes is right
when he says the discussion OF the
State debt question and the main
tenance of the high character of the
State should be left "to men who
hold high positions, and who owe a
duty to the State that has again
and again honored them" The
people have shown that they have
confidence in their Judgment and
patriotism, and they should not hes
itate to confer freely with the PEG
pie in their hour of trouble. Read
the Interview. We regret that we
had to omit a portion which re
ferred TO our paralyzed industries,
the freeing of the slaves and the va
lidity of the debt.

! On Sunday night of last week the
/ Circuit Clerks office was entered by
breaking through window and all
the indictments Tor misdemeanors
found by the late grand jury were
taken away, numbering seventy-sev-
en-. The indictments for felonies
had been recorded end were in q
separate place and were not found
bv the burglars. A table top was
priced of to get the papers, but
nothing else disturbed. The fad
ing OF these indictments cost the
county some 81 800. Atty Gen'l
Russell came down to investigate,
hut left without Eeing able to OBJ
tain a clue. The theft is a matter
To be severely condemned, for it is
an irreparable damage to the coun-
W and precedent that may bring
further trouble. The peace of the
community must be preserved at all
hazards and law-breakers must be
punished, and it is a great outrage
upon justice that such a batch of
criminals should thus make their
escape. We do not suppose it will
ever be ferreted out, but precau
tions will prevent it's repetition.

There is one feature of the story
that Mrs. Spoftord bought votes in
the Louisiana Legislature and
thereby elected Judge Spofford to
the United States Senate, which
makes it ludicrous. 1t is said that
the witness can shoY her checks
COR $4,000. How did he get them
Did you think of the fact that when
checks are paid by the bank they
are charged up to the depositor and
returned to him? If Mrs. Spofford
gave her check, it was surrendered
to the bank when paid land passed
back into her possession. So you
see the story bears an absurditS
upon its very face. Judge Spofforc
was elected upon his merits. an(
this ridiculous story will have nc
weight whatever with those who
know the parties.
