The Eight to Seven" Parallel.

Some profoundly astute re-
publican philosopher has dis
covered and printed a suppos-
ably servicable simile, a porten-
tiously prophetic parallel based
upon the fraud-founded fact of
our present alleged president
having been seated by a dex-
ferrous vancouver of the 8 VS.. Z
manipulation.
He fortunately finds that while
the name of Hancock is compos-
ed Of but seven letters, the mi
nority numeral, that of his OPP
ponent proudly boasts the meri-
torious eight, the number which
means majority.
OfcOurse, that settles it. Fate
forbids further futile effort. The
weird sisters and the seven star:
smile sweetly on the hero of
j Credit MobiIier fame. Even had
We an oracle of our own anC
Icould grind it to order, it were
all in vain against the arithmet
lical odds adduced above. w,

1t proves that the Hancock
boom was not merely for the
day. 1t is a laster. 1t has come
to stay. Looking back on the
work Of the convention; noting
the mistakes it might have made
the blunders it might have COM
mitted and didn't commit, it al
most seems real that the hand
of Providence guided the action
Of the delegates. What strong
or nominations could have been
made? What better? What
are better calculated to unite the
Democracy Of the country and
call to It's triumphant standard
the young men Of Americat
Winfield Scott Hancock! Read
his record to be proud of. II
proves the craftsmanship of the
man above the highest glories
Of the soldier. The civil above
the military power. The rights
and the duties Of the citizen.
The freedom of speech and of the
press. In these and more than
these are shown the statesman
like qualities Of the man, and on
these he was nominated and
will be elected!

HE'LL HOUNDS.
Quick Work With a Negro Rapist
in Bedford County.

SHELBYvILLE, July 22-This
community is greatly excited
over a lynching affair that &C.
cured here last night. John
Cannon, .r., lives not far from
here on the Lewisburg pike.
Yesterday afternoon his little
six-year-old daughter went to
the house of a negro woman, the
mother of John Houston, situa-
ted about one hundred and fifty
yards from Cannon's residence.
No one was III the house but
Houston, who seized the little
girl and attempted to outrage
her. The child struggled and
screamed without avail, but ow-
ing to her extreme immaturity
the brute could not accomplish
his purpose. The mother Of the
child becoming alarmed at her
long delay, FASTENED to the Hous-
ton cabin, and just as she APP
preached it the little one stag
gered out Of the door, looking
deathly pale, and upon cxamina-
ton, was found to be badly
bruised. She told her mother
all that had happened, and the
news spread rapidly through the
neighborhood. Soon friends were
| in pursuit OF the villain, headed
by the father. After some search
he was captured not far from the
scene Of the attempted outrage
and brought back to the Cannon
place to be identified by the vic.
tim of his assault. The little
girl fully recognized him, and ht
was placed III the hands of sew.
eral men. 1t was decided to re-
main at Cannon's house till NOR
ming, when Houston could b.
placed in the County Jail. A
II o'clock last night, twenty
two men, armed and masked
rode up to Cannon's house anC
demanded Houston. The guarC
gave up their prisoner, and will
him the disguised men hurriedly
took their departure down tin
Lewisburg pike. This morning
Houston's dead body was fount
hanging to a tree half Il mile
from Cannon's house. The cor
oner's jury failed to elicit any
information as to who the lynch
ers were. Some evidence wa,
given, however, that the negro
who had been in the penitentiary
for stealing, had expressed hii
intention to do something to ge
back. An examination Of thu
little girl showed that she was
considerably injured. The ne
gro since his release from prison
has been loafing around hi
mothers place, and was regar
ded in the neighborhood as
suspicious character.

Probably the most useless
and profitless lie which the cam
paign has thus far incubated is
that one that Indiana is doubtful
to the Democrats. The Hoosier
State will vote nearly a month
before others, except Ohio and
West Virginia, and while it is
not necessary to Democratic
success, it is as certain to 60
Democratic as Tennessee is.

Washington Letter.

Special Correspondence Of fhe OBSERVER
WAsHINGToK, d. C., July %, 1880.
So far Republicans thoroughly
liked the Chicago platform, or
were pleased with the evasion
Of Garfeld's letter, that the more
manly and straightforward ac-
ceptance of Arthur, weak as it
was in some respects, was a re-
lief to them. Much as the
goody-goody Republicans had
said and done against him, and
uncomfortable as his talents APP
pear to be, it is likely that his
full, free and clear expressions
ON the one subject of Civil Ser
vice Reform, viii retain more
votes in the Republican party
than all that Gen. Garfield can
say during the campaign. He
got above the position of a can
didate begging fer votcs-a po-
sition to which Garfield, in his
letter OF acceptance, studiQusly
confined himself-and expressed
an honest opinion, and an honest
opinion always commands re-
spect. But this letter of Ar
thur. on a whole, is a poor pro-
duction. 1t repeats the ISLANDERS
upon the Southern people, mis-
represents the contest in Con-
eress over a free and fair ballot,
and ignores several questions Of
importance as fully as Garfield
did. Taking the platform, Gar
fields letter and Arthur's letter
as indications of what the Radi-
Gals are fighting for, and / think
it will require great carelessness
on the part of Gen. Hancock Il

A Four Years Cid Girl Ravished.

MURFREEsBoRo, July Odd
News from Gainesville, Wilson
County, reports that a negro
brute ravishcd a little fom-year-
cid daughter Of a man by the
name Of Patterson, who lives
near GAINESVILLE and ten miles
northeast Of this place. 1t
seems that Mr.. Patterson had
gone to Nashville, leaving his
wife and little girl at home. The
wife sent the child 10 tell the ne
gro who lived on the place to
get some wood, and while she
was there he outraged her. The
child is terribly laceratcd and
horribly torn, and it is doubtful
whether she will recover. The
negro made no effort to escape,
but was found lying on the
ground a short distance from
Mr.. Pattcrson's house asleep.

The trial of George Jennings, before

occurred at Rockville, in the latter
part OF last April, was concluded last
Wednesday evening and resulted in
the acquittsl Of Jennings, no evil
dence, except that which Jared
Dalton gave, being brought against
him. Dalton's story is that be snd
Jennings were drinking together
on the day OF the murder, and
that, seeing Mrs. Parker, Jennings
remarked to him: There is an old
rip who ought to be got away With"
After alluring the old woman to the
foothills with the deceiving promise
that her son Samuel was there wait
ing to see her, Dalton says Jennings
knocked her over, and taking knife
from his pocket cut her throat from
ear to ear; they then together packed
the body away and placed it among
some rocks. covering it with brush.
Jennings stIenuously denied any
K knowledge of the horribls crime, and
as no corroborstive evidence in sup

Her Fanchon last evening, was q

from the wild, capricious, uneducated

meet with deserved approval. It il
in such characters that she appears

has been successful, and the atten.
