From a reliable source, wc learn
that tho wonted quiet OF one OF Muh-
len5erg's villages was disturbed, last
week, and for while excitement ran
mountain high. The facts as we can
gather them are abont as follows: A
handsome young saddler had been
visiting ladyof the neighborhood,
and to a dozen or two Of confidential
friends had made known the fact that
his pretty face, eloquent tongue and
winning ways generally, had been too
much for the lady, and she had sue
cumbed to his Establishments. Hear
ing of this, the girl determined 10

Ed. South Kentuckian:
The stalwart Republicans are in an
uneasy state Of mind because Of the
general impression that MIR. Hayes
will sign the bill to prevent inter-
ference with elections at the polls.
The acting President has committed
himself so often to the grounds Of this
bill that there does not appear to be
any loophole through which to escape.
however much party necessities de-
mand different course. In fact, MIR.
Hayes hes said as much to several
persons since the bill was introduced
in the. House. Had it been acted upon
in the Senate as promptly as it was
in the House, no doubt it would now
be law; but tie old die.hards in that
body have fought for time to enable
them to brace up Hayes Chandler,
Logan, Edmunds, and others of that
ilk, visit the White House daily and
spend hours in the work, the result oil
which it would be unsafe 20 predict.
The old Miclig gander declined to say
this morning whether ho thought
Hayes had changed his mind; but.
after he had applied bis persuasive elo-
queuce to the dc .facto's ear, he simply

your newspapers that the President
will approve that bill, had better 60

the White House callers. and his
latest opinion is that the bill will
be signed. -Certainly there is much :
uneasiness all along the Radical line.

occupant OF the presidential mansion. J

all one and the same thing, as some
people think-occupy good deal Of
attention hereabouts just now. John
Sherman's trip west "to look after his
fences" gave fresh start to the
speculations that have been rife for
some time, and renews the talk Of his
candidacy for Governor. There Is no
sort OF doubt that John is the Admin
istration candidate for President in
1880, and failingin that, lie wants to
succeed Judge Thurman in the Senate.
If he believes that his chances OF sue

Governor Of Ohio, he will be the man.

strongly in that direction at present.

favor, knowing ones admit that tho
present Secretary ofthe Treasury will
make stronger showing, when the
time comes, than has been gene ally
suspected. The South has been
counted solid for Grant, but when it il
known that all Federal appointments
in that section are held for Sherman's
approval, and made strictly in his in
terests, experienced politicians will
not be surprised to find the willy John

lie proceeds to prove it false. How?
Not By comparing the purchases of
the leadiug buyers there with the
purchases of the other buyers in that
market, but switches off as It will be
seen, by referring to the purchases of
buyers in the Louisville market, when
he says he will show from the past
season, "ien buyers accounts, each of
which bought more dark, rich,
Clarksville styles ofTobacco than the
same number of buyers in Louisville
at any one house, and will show less
difference in the number bought bv

Even presuIning he is correct IN
his statement (Which we do not adj

buyers purchased in Louisville. Our
statement was made plainly, and re-

HERsDOs's TANGIBLE ILLUSTRATIONS.


Mr.. Herndon's tangible illustra-
tions, which he quotes, are only good
as far as they 60, and are true, Of
which we have doubts regarding
some of them But even ifall are
correct, we can furnish any quantity
of similar illustrations as an Offset
for all he can produce moro too.
. Unless, however, we afforded him
the opportunity Of studying few, he
would not credit our statements,
although we are not in the habit of
making any unless we have the proofs
always at hand to substantiate them.
The number Of illustrations Of this
character as an offset TO the six or
eight cases he refers to, we could
furnish ten for liis one, were II neccs-
eary-but a few at present will sfllce.
First of all. however, we will refer
to the case Of Mr.. q. A. Stark OF
Simpson county. Of whom Mr.. Hern-
! don unblushing states as follows:

county. informed me last season by
letter that he made a test by shipping

HIS LAST PRODUCTION.

I..|I-.f nio lsAci ihODSNiiONs
Mr.. I. Herhdon's latest exploit,
taken as a whole, is nothing short OF
a most unbusiness-like attempt to try
10 damage the fame Of rival market,
which he knows is growing In i'm
portance every year, in the hope by
such scurvy strategy 10 build up his
own house and market. Fortunately
the laws of trade, the power OF cap
ital, the growing popularity of any
one market over another which has a
good basis for that popularity, will
concentrate either Clarksville or any
other type of Tobacco to its legitimate
focus or market, irrespective of what
any blower may say to the contrary
about any other market.
AFAREwELL PARTING
In conclusion, we beg it 10 be dis
tinctly understood that this is no
fight of ours or of Louisvillc against
Clarksville and its market, where the
trade here, as we'll as the Tobacco
Neics, has many warm friends; but
this vindcation Of this and other mar
kets is made-imperfectly as 1t may
be lin the interest OF equity and fair,
against an indecent and slandcrous
assault which has been made against
this market moro particularly, BY a
man who is evidently spelling for a
fight, II for no other purpose than TO
advertise himself and his house at our
expense. Ifthere was any hope OF
doirg him q service by letting him

any method by which he could be
made TO understand what business

sy and truthfulness, means; or in
short, II he was worthy of further no.
tice in any way, we should make the
attempt to improve him generally.
But as II is. we must leave him to con-

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The
Senate Judiciary Committee, at o
special meeting this morning, took
action upon the bill introduced by
Mr.. Eaton yesterday, "To prohibit
military interference at elections"
and by a party vote decided to

STRATFoUD, ONT. May 5.-This
morning the whole town was shaken
as if by the shock of an earthquake.
Windows were blown in and every
side walk upon which people were
walking was shaken so as to cause
pedestrians to fall. The cause was
soon made apparent. A car Ia
den with Dynamite had ex-
ploded at the Grand Trunk
freight yard. The wreck made by
the explosion beggars description.
Underneath the dynamite car hole
several feet deep had been scooped
out. The ends Of the brick freight
shed and a portion of its roof were
blown down. Several frame build
ings were leveled to the ground, and
long lines of freight cars lying in
the yard were utterly wrecked. The
business part of the town
is nearly mile from the
scene Of the explosion, but it
shared in the disaster. Valuable
plate glass windows were blown in,
frames and all. The damage done
to property is estimated at many
thousand dollars. Two railway
employees were working in the
yard, Frank Lemoine, of Montreal,
and Thos. Dolan, Of Stratford, were
blown into fragments, the foot of
one of them being found two hun
dred yards off. Others were in
iured, but the whole extent Of the
disaster can not be known for some
time yet.
The damage done by the explo,
sion is much greater than was ex-
pected. The houses around the
freight shed were nearly all wooden
buildings, and several were blown
into minute fragments. Some fifty
were blown up into splinters, and
as many more were damaged. Mr..
Flynn, the checker, is among the
badly injured. A fragment of iron
weighing over a pound was driven
through the window Of the Crown
Hotel, half mile distant. The
shock was felt in all the surround
ing towns, and it was supposed to
be an earthquke.
The car upon which the explosion
occurred was freighted at Montreal
for Amherstburg, and contained 30
packages which were entered as
blasting powder. They were shipped
on account of Vanderbilt, to be used
in blasting at the Detroit Tunnel.
When the explosion occurred the
cae were being shunted in the yard
The damage will exceed $4,000.
Geo. Hawkins, a car dealer, had
both his eyes put out by splinters,
and is not expected to live. James
Humphrey is badly cut about the
head and face, but may recover.
Alfred Lamb was badly injured,
