SCHEDULE.
What Will the Democrats Do?

Notwithstanding the expectation
that the President would approve
the bill to prohibit the use of
troops at the polls, after it had
been remodeled so as to conform to
his opinions as laid down in the
first veto, and introduced as a sep
arate measure, he has utterly disre
garded consistency, patriotism and
everything but partisan fealty, and
sent in another veto. IL was read
at $3.50 p. IN. on Tuesday. The
next question is, "What will the
democrats doT' Dispatches say
the veto created very little excite
ment. The democrats are cool and
determined, but not reckless. They
will do nothing rash, but they do
not intend to be bulldozed by the
President and his advisors. One
despatch says the probable course
of democrats was clearly mapped
out by a leading democratic Sena
tor who said, "Of course / can not
foretell what the caucus may deter
mine, but judging by what | know
of the general sentiment among us,
l think we shall take about this
course. We will first go through
the form of passing the army bill
over the veto. Then we shall pass
the Legislative bill, which l think
we will send to the President the
last of this week. If he vetoes it,
as he doubtless will, then we shall
send him a separate bill, embody
ing repeal of the test oath and a
modification of the supervisors and
marshals laws. If these are vetoed,
we shall pass specific appToprla-
tions for the Executive Depart
ments and the committees, but not
one dollar which can be used for
eithe- marshals or supervisors or
the army bill. We shall let that
sweat, unless, perhaps, we may at
tach the Ladd anti bayonet bill IN
place of the sixth section and send
it in that shape TO the President
and let him sign or veto 1T as he
pleases, and il he vetoes it, then
there will be no army. Have you
heard anything" he added, "of a
movement TO reduce the armyr
"No, is there such n movement"
Yes" he replied, "and | should
not be surprised if before this
thing is ended the office of General
CT the army was abolished and the
army itself reduced TO ten thou
sand men,"

Sentenced for Life.

Cox. the murderer of Aston at
Atlanta, was sentenced on Tuesday
last to Imprisonment for life. A
motion for new trial was entered.
A dlspath says Cox received the
verdict with calmness, having evil
IDENTIFY nerved himself for the worst.
His wife, on hearing the words so
fatal to her hopes. sat for Y mo-
ment trembling with emotion, and
then rushed for the open window
to throw herself to the ground be-
low. She was wild with grief. As
she reached the window she was
caught by Cox. who held her fast.
She threw her arms around his
neck and chung to him. wildly ex-
claiming ''Oh, my Godi Oh nv
poor darliRgis Her shrieks were
very heartrending and the occu
pants of the crowded courtroom
could not restrain tears of pity
Judge Hillyer sentenced Cox To
be confined in such a place as the
Governor may direct for his natural
life.

The Price Of Passion.

When we read the description of
the court scene at the conclusion of
the trial of Capt. Cox for the kill
ing of Col. Aston, it made our
heart bleed with sympathy for the
poor distracted woman. When the
verdict was rendered she seemed
to be deranged with grief. Screams
and cries of despair filed the court
room, and stern, strong men. who
had just indicated the majesty of
the law, found tears running down
their cheeks. But such is the mex
orable decree of justice. The sen
tence bears hard upon the poor in
nocent woman and fatherless babes,
to find their protector and compan-
ion torn from their arms TO suffer
the penalty, for what? For simply
giving a loose rein TO passion, and
doing that which is forbid by the
laws of God and man. Society
must protect itself. or every mans
throat would be at the mercy of the
knife. Our times are filled with
outrageous murders. No respect
is felt for the divinity OF life. A
slight misunderstanding and out
comes the pistol, and some poor
woman is made a desolate widow,
some household has its charm for
ever broken. 1t bears hard on Mrs.
Cox, a woman of culture and refine
ment, full Of love and affection, but
it also bears hard upon the wife of
Col. Aston. who awaited the COM
ing of her kind husband, who was
never more to give her kiss of love,
who would never more dandle the
little prattler upon his knee. We
congratulate Georgia on being able
in these dissolute times to do jus
tice. Would to God that Tennes-
see could do the same. Until she
does, no mans life is safe tor one
moment. AS long as the hip-pock-
ct carries a threatening, deadly
weapon, ever ready to pource upon
Its victim, so long will law and or
der be bid defiance That is the
first move TO make society feel that
the arms of the law are ever around
him, ready to protect him from the
rufiian and assassin. The South
has gained a most unenviable roto-
riety in bHtchery, and this it is
that has retarded our progress, and
until a salutary change takes place
in this regard we may expect to
sleep ON while the world moves
In England a man would not dare
to be caught with concealed weap
ons. He would not only be pun
ished severely by law, but he would
be banished from society," Ban'r. |

John Lngan's Patriotism

Not long since Hon. VIM. NJ.
Lowe. of Alabama, stated in con
versation with a reporter IN Wash
ington that Senator John A. Lo-
gan, now a stalwart Republican,
had raised three regiments for ser,
vice in the Confederate army at
the outbreak of the rebellion. In
card recently published Logan
denounced the report as a mali
clous lie. The card of the patriot
ic orator from Illinois has provok
ed reply from persons who knew
all about the circumstances, and
Logan appears in no enviable light.
The following card appeard in the
last issue of the Washington Ga
zette,
One hundred OF QHr best citizens
of Jonesburg, Illinois, will testify
that John A. Logan did raise reg
iment for the Confederate army !;
that he afterwards come to Wash
ington and sold out to Secretary
Stanton and returning TO Illinois
with a commission in the Federal
army, he, by means of threats of
arrest for treason" forced most of
these men to enlist in the Federal
ranks. j. i. MCALENNY.

H. Cunningham, company G, of
the Fifteenth regiment, Tennessee

A. Logan, who then represented
the district in Congress, was the
chief person who raised said army
and persuaded me to join the same;
that Logan accompanied Us labout,
seventy in number) in the night,
part of the way from Williamson
county, to Paducah according to j.
A. Logan's instructions, to evade
Union troops, which, he stated,
were stationed at Cairo. When
Logan left he agreed TO meet US as
soon as possible, and assigned as a
reason for no. accompanying us
then, that he wanted to settle up
his affairs at home and raise more
troops. Logan when he left prom
ised faithfully to join us soon and
command our regiment in the con-
federate service, but the next time
we met him was at Belmont in the
Federal service. and in the fight

ETERNITY.
Thoughts Brought to the Surface by
Rev. Mr.. Longs Sermon.


Eternity! how the thought vi
brates through the heart and throbs
in the pulses, Endless eternity
So fraught with mystery, who can
comprehend and grasp with puny
mind lis wonders, its stupendous

Upon earth and all her fair bean
ty is written decay, corruption and
dust. The hours of man, his yes
terday, to day and to morrow, Will
pass into darkness and oblivion.
Never ending eternity viii roll on
through countless ages. Earth's
magnificence dwindles into petit
ness. Human pride and worldly
ambitions are but the sunshine of
the hour, and will scarce illumine
the void into which they crumble
down into the sleeps of forgetful-
ness!
Eternity! without beginning,
withoat end, Interchangeable, ever
lasting, infinite. Its splendors
knowing no gloom, no night, no
decay. Its pure river of life, its
fadeless flowers, its waving palms,
it's never failing fountains, and
eternal mansions not made with
human hands" Its countless
throngs of white-robed angels with
harps whose glad music fills the
holy calm, circling, like the sun
"Beited with light and brighter than al

who stitch thereon, and the end

it would be impossible for us to
give a report of the proceedings of
the late colored convention at
Nashville. They were too volumi-
IVus. Besides we doubt If it could
be called in any proper sense a rep
resentative body. The delegates
were not chosen UuB lu.s>-I.-- srisaz
could not represent anything but
their own opinions, and these were
very crude and conflicting. There
were however many able, conserya-
tive and representative men there,
among whom we do not hesitate to
class II. Harris and II. y. Boyd of
this place. They are both honora-
bic and worthy representatives of
their race, in whose hands the rela-
tons between the races could be
safely trusted. IL such men
were entrusted with the solution of
the problem which now distracts
their people and disturbs the labor
question of the South, it would not
be done rashly nor ignorantiy. but
with discretion, patriotism and jus
tice; and Notwithstanding his reso
lutions, we believe Nixon would
help them to an equitable and fair
adjustment.
