"Bald Hornet" has gone TO the
Legislature, and while the veneer
able old gentlemen is absent beg
leave to give the people of his
county a few items from District
No. 8, through the columns of your
friendly paper. In the first place,
how came Hon. t. M. Reynolds to
the appellation of "Bald Hornet ?h
There are several reports circulating
concerning it, but it seems that the
most reliable one is that the old
gentleman is frightfully bald head
ed, and he has IA peculiar way of
singing all unworthy hands from
off his farm, hence the name Bald
Hornet, which was given to our
Post Office, located at G. G. Lyle's
store near the centre of the District.
On Wednesday, Jan 8th, the
quiet citizens of Sugar Creek were
stricken with horror at the scene
of a fatal combat between Ben
Morrow and Thomas Sleigh. 1t
seems that the three Morrow broth
ers, and two Sleigh brothers, early
in the morning of that day, had
gone down to Golfers store to
sti ,nulate. Being neighbor boys,
fro n Blooming Grove creek, they
were friendly enough until they
touched the fatal cup, when they
became frenzied, and began to quar-
rel among themselves, but finally
left for home. They had proceeded
about a mile when they separated.
Bill Morrow and Tom Sleigh going
through a field and the others taking
the road. They had not gone far
when Ben Morrow, a stalwart
young man, began beating Jake
| Slei gh, lad not more than fourteen
years of age. His cries reached the
ears of the two in the field and
soon brought them to the scene.
Seeing his little brother severely
beaten Tom Sleigh ran out of his
coat, and struck Ben Morrow two
or three times with his fist, when
Bill Morrow came up and pushed
them apart. Then Tom Sleigh
seized his knife and swore that he
would cut Ben's heart out, where
upon Ben wrenched a shot gun
from his little brother, and turning
said: '"Tom Sleigh, you are dead
man !" and fired instantly, the
load entering Sleigh's right temple.
This was about 3 o'clock p. M.
Sleigh fingered until five O'Clock
and died. The above facts were
furnished by one of the coroner's
Ijurymen. Morrow, it is supposed,
has decamped. How long will the
hand of Satan reign supreme? How
long will the hand of the inebriate
wretch be not stayed? But justice,
be it ever SO slow, will surely come,
and woe to those who have offend

Senate joint resolution requesting
Representative and instructing
Senators in Congress to make all
legal and proper exertions to have
repealed the ten per cent. restric-

regular order. A majority report
from the Committee on Banks and
Banking recommended its adoption.
A minority report from Mr.. Sam
sell, of the same committee, recon-
mended its rejection, on the ground
that it would destroy one of the
material sources Of revenue, to the
extent of some thirty-eight millions
of dollars, and revive the fossilized
system of wildcat and State banks.
After a long debate the whole
matter was happily tabled. Wild
cat banks not wanted.

Fourteen new bills. The few that
come to anything will be noticed at
the proper time.
On motion Of Mr.. Ewing, House
joint resolution for joint commit
tee to conduct the Inauguration GER
eInOnies was taken up and the blank
filled by 1.-TWO from the Senate"
Mr.. Roberts offered an amend
ment so as to read, provided the
Inauguration of the Governor shall
not take place until the Goth of jan
uary." He saidd a bill passed by
both Houses, reducing the salary of
the Governor, was now in the hands
of the present incumbent. AS he
understood it, five days after the
enactment of a bill was required
before it became a law, unless re-
turned by the Governor, approved
or disapproved, within that time.
PrOtracted discussion ensued as to
the constitutional effect Of q law
passed by the Legislature and re-
tn ned to the House in which it
originated by the Governor within
the time prescribed by the COnsti-
tuition, participated in by Messrs.
Roberts, Ewing, CIapp, Beckerdite,
Savage, Morris, TOiley, Hanson,
Lands, Wilson and Brandon.
Mr.. Smith, of Meigs, called the
previous question on the adoption
of the resolution, and it was adopt
ed. The Speaker appointed Messrs.
Ewing and Byrd on the committee
from the Senate.
Mr.. TOlley, under suspension OF
the rules, offered a resolution fixing
the time for the Inauguration of the
Governor at Y N. on the 18th of
January. In this connection he
read the following dispatch:
WINCHESTER, Jan. IA, 1879.-TO

18th instant. Either day will suit
me. Will reach Nashville this even

Mr.. Savage moved to strike out
10th and insert 18th, which motion
failed.
The resolution was then adopted
and ordered transmitted to the
House.
