to them again. by hearing the tuse of loud
profane language coming from that direction
Then we saw Rehm gong from his stock
yard to his house, rather faster than usual.
We listened a few moments, then we heard
the report of a revolver and saw the smoke
risin. from near the stoek-yard; immediately
we heard the report Of another revolver. and
saw the smoke rising from the same place

followed the rev OF the shots, amounting to
seven or eight in all, GehgR. making only one
more fire, however Rehm had Nolan ar
rested and examined before Rev. Burnette,
at Center,iIle, who bound him over in the
sum OF $1,000, to keep the peace Nolan
said he could give the bonds, and walked
out of court, accompanied by officer Davis
and Welts Coil. They walked up the side

AGAIN to the courtroom then they turned
about and walked up the sidewalk again.
Then my attention was drawn to something
else, and saw Nolan no more, bu: in short

The returns are all in, and there re-
mains no. doubt but that, unless the
alleged fraads in the state of New York
are proved to have transpired, but that
Garfield is elected president of the
United States and dsulocrats must
wait for. another long four years before
they receive chance to govern the coun-
Try. We do not endorse the cry of
fraud" 1t is hard 10 acknowledge being
beaten, but beaten we are most decidedly
in he nation al large, and we hare only
the hope that henceforth our leaders. viii
gain 2aowledse and experience by the
past, and finSlIy lead the democratic hosts
to lang deferred victory. But few
week. ago and HaDcock's election was
looked upon as sure, but the mistakes,
feasinf blundess and perhaps treaehery on
the tart OF the campaign MANAGERS liter
ally slaughtered him when his chances
wers highest. Too much faith wasplaced
in both Tiiden and John Kelly No man
u common sense will think for moment
that efter TiIden was defrauded ont Of his
just rights for four years, and then refused
the ponination by the Cincinnatieenven-
tion, that he was going to work very hard
to assure the success of aEoiher, when, by
everf right he should have been the man
in his place. The democrats will repent
this hunder in sack cloth and ashes, for
the next four years. John Kelly, by his
actions in electing Cornell, directly placed
the whole state machinery in the hands Of
the enemy. Heis traitor no matter in
Whist light he is seen. The democrats as
q patty have no further hope in the terri
tory; previous to the election it was said
thatthe Sound would elect any man from
that section; the reverse has proved to be
the case, for Brents will receive over the
democratic candidate at least 1000 majur-
ity.s Even our oWncounty, once the strong
bold'Of democracy, has leaning the
other way, and the principal cause Of our
recent success was the purity and high
character of the men. Yet, while hope
exists all is not lost; new ISSUES will
spring up, new measures be advocated,
and new men are continually arising, and
the people eventually see good where
everything they imagine is bad. But We
still have faith in the old democratic craft;
it is true the rigging is somewhat DANA
ged through bad management, but the
hub remains intact, and We have no fears
Of its going under. So long as it remains
above water the STArEsMAN will stay with
it, bat at the same time earnestly pray for
mOrr Iskllful captains.

For every advantage Tennessee offers
for colonization purposes Washington ter
ritory can offer twenty. There is no coun-
try in the world which can give SO many
inducements or is SO wealthy in all that
goes to make eountry-rich as this. The
natural fertility Of the soil, the equable
climate, the almost illimitable grazing
lands would make an energetic and indus
trious colony wealthy and comfortable
almost in spite Of themselves. There are
now two colonies fairly under way already;
one on the Sound. under the auspices Of
Gov. Newell, and the Washington colony,
who will settle probably some~here in the

is always doing good in his solid, practical

undeveloped resources of this and our
neighboring territory were placed before
him. We feel assured that if he could
be induced to pay us visit it would be
very beneficial What, but two years
