Mr.. BuRcHARD, Of Illinois, has
presented a bill in Congress, providing
for the issue of $40, 100000 Of bonds
for the payment of the Arrears CT
Pensions, and there is but little doubt
of its passage. Under the bill it is
said that every pensioner of the Uni
ted States will get an average of $3.50
each. Commissioner Bently says that
1t will take twenty-five additional
clerks and many months to prepare
the claims for settlement. Let it be
understood here, that $4,000, 600 is
but a fourth OF the sum necessary to
pay the pensioners.

FRANK Turner, the man who so
cruelty murdered William Judd, near
Williamstown, an account of which We
published at the time, and who was sent
for safe keeping to the CovingtOn Jail,
made bis escape Sunday night, by
means of a false key. This makes
about a dozen prisoners held for muir
der that have broken jails within the
last few months, and the blame should
in nine cases out Of ten, be charged
to the jailer, who should be held per-
soually responsible For the escapes.

bingham and Hon. +. W. Turner, are
men of experience in the line, and
we are sure that they will make the

ANOTHER effort is beng made to
increase the army. and, as heretofore,
Judge Durham is active in its opposi-
tiOn. If Hayes assertion in his mes
sage that we are in peaceful relations
with all the world, approaches any
where near the truth, there are many
people in this country who are anxious
to be convinced that 10000 men are
not enough and to spare, for standing
army.

We are glad to see that the editors
of some Of our exchanges have the
manhood and good sense to object to
the silly TRADE made on DIR. Hender-
son. We admit that there is no end
to his vanity, which is a serious fault,
but he has managed the trust imposed
on him with decided ability and salts
faction. Let up on him, gentlemen,
unless you wish your persecution to
rebound to his benefit. The masses
love fair play, and will not stand to
see man needlessly assailed.

The Mountain Echo learns from let
ter received from Williamsburg, Whit
ley county, that Rogers and Haywood,
the fends who tortured the negro, Ed.
jackson, to death; have been released
on 5000 bail, each. If all the cir
cumstances connected with their cruel
murder are as reported, they should
hardly have been allowed trial, much
less bail. But such is the way Of Ken
lucky courts-a murderer is gwen far
more rights than any other class of
criminals.

at Alexandria, Va, has decided the

who will now be content to sell the

against Randall is strong enough to defeat him
IT 1t could bo united. It ID not yet certain that
It can be upon Blackburn. The earnest advo-
cacy Of Blackburn BY Morrison aids the former,
but Morrson's zeal Is known to be stimulated
by the fact that ho was badly treated by Randall
IN the organization of the committees, atnt that
his opposition to Randall js perhaps as much
due to spite ne to preference. for the Southern
candidate. Randall opcus bis canvass With tho

Randall does not ndmit mora thnn

before tho contest Ia ended. The struggle is
largely Ecctional The supporters of Blackburn
arc not TO be deferred by my cry Of Solid
South. That sl1bbototh is rather their rallying

opposed to Randall who arc not inclIncu to vote
for Blackburn. Thcro nre noisy threats On both

show that sos1eshtng quite tie contrary is tho
case. Astounding as tho statement may
appear to tl,oso uhose only fnforma-
tlon Is tho argument Of tho Southern
Hotspurs In Congress, 1t nevertheless
IS n fact that = comparatively small number Of
Supervisors and Aarshals bave been employed
In the Southern States. An examination Of the
tables which follow will show this. In South

elections, thcre were employed 38 Deputy
Mnrshals. who were paid 1906. III }iassachu-
