GOOD CASES FOR HANGING.

The man Cox, who murdered Col.
Aston in Atlanta, few weeks ago,
and BufOrd, who killed the Judge
in Frankfort, Kentucky, last week,
are two excellent cases out of which
to make examples at the gallows.
If they are not hung, that is of
coruse if the facts have been cor
rectly reported, then capital punish
ment should be abolished. Their
crimes were dark and unprovoked,
and their social position furnishes
no excuse why they should
pull hemp" The hanging of one
or two enlightened" murderers,
who wear good clothes and pass
muster in first class society, will do
more to deter others from taking
the lives of their fellows without
provocation, than the hanging of a
whole brigade of poor ignorant ne
groes or white men. We insist that
Cox and Buford are good cases to
make examples of, and money nor
influential friends should prevent it.

THE impunity with which some
itenerant vendors of so~called med.
icines, take advantage of the good
names of standard proprietary med
icines, is simply disgusting. Hence
the necessity of cautioning the pub
lie on purchasing DR.. G. McLane's
Celebrated Liver Pills, which have
served the public with unlimited
satisfaction for nearly half cen.
fury. These invaluable pills are
prepared only by L" Fleming Bros,
Pittsburgh" whose signature is on
every box. Without which all sim
liar packages are fraud.

ing" the debt. Ask one of them
what he meant by ''sifting," and he
would give you about as intelligent
an answer as you would expect
from Guinea negro. With these
indefinite ideas running through
their narrow minds, came Governor
Marks most extraordinary message,
document which he himself doubt
less wishes now that he had never
heard of, and then came that extra
ordinary committee to investi-
gate the State debt. The history
of that committee is well
known. Its leading spirits were
Senator Wilson and one DIR. Jno.
NJ. Driver. Wilson is a clever gen.
tleman, but a bigot, and Driver is a
bag of gas. The majority report
was bubble, and was pricked by
Senator Clapp, who left nothing of
it. The object of a majority of the
committee was to throw a cloud
over the validity of State bonds,
and foster a spirit of reputation.
The report was made and
! the final action of ma
iority of both Houses of
the Legislature in recognizing the
validity of the whole debt, shows
how it was received. Its false con-
illusions, reached by tortuous ways,
were understood and taken for all
that they were worth. The action
of the Legislature is humiliating to
the committee, if they have enough
human sensibility to feel humilia-
ton at anything.
But they died very hard. On the
last day but one of the session,
twenty-three Representatives and SIX
Senators Joined in protest, in which
they arraigned those who voted for
the fifty cents four per cent. PROPOSE
ton, and charge that they were
moved by "undue influences" On
the floor of House, while the bill
was being discussed, Mr.. Beasley,
the Representative from Gov.
Marks own county, charged that
the bill was the offspring of an
unholy alliance between Democrats
and Republicans. A number of the
Repudiationists went home from
Nashville, we are told, swear
ing that if the bond
holders do accept this fifty cent
proposition, they will take the
stump and do all in their power to
defeat it at the ballot-box. Well,
we trust they will. In that event
they would have a fine opportunity
to look at themselves in the mirror
of public opinion. The people of
Tennessee are not repudiationists.

STIFF-NECKED REPUTATION
ISTS.

The repudiationists of the Ten
nessee Legislature, which has just
adjourned, are about as blind, deaf
and stiff-necked specimens of hui
manity as ever broke bread. They
went to Nashville last January,
with their minds made up to resist
everything that is fair, honorable or
Just to the bondholders. They did
not agree upon any particular basis
upon which they were willing to
settle, but borrowing a vague idea
from Governor Marks, whom they
looked upon as their leader,
they talked indefinitely about "sift-

tie medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
lhev stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than 4 quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several aSsimilative organs of the
body. and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or cyadc them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffied the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not innamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
