OHEERFUL READING.

For years we have read the New
a York Tribune. At times we have
WINGED under the whitening sarcasm
of the editor, especially when some
of the leaders Of our party had COM
mitted grave plumbers. At other
times it was very amusing to rea
the bloody shirt articles which were
written to keep in party training the
thousands of honest Republican vo-
tiers who had no means of knowing
the real condition of affairs in the
South. Other phases of politics
were developed in the great organ
which were not palatable to a Dem
oerat But since the Senatorial dead
lock at Albany the Tribune contains
much good reading. We have be-
lieved that the leaders of the Repub-
ican party were dishonest, selfish
and designing. We now know it, if
we are to believe this trusted party
organ Harder things have never
- been written against the Democratic
- party. Grayer charges have never
been made than are now daily made
against the machine Republicans of
New York We cannot doubt the
truth of any of the charges. We
sincerely hope the contest now wag-
ing in the party of great moral ideas
will open the eyes of all honest men,
and that the country will realize that
the only hope for just government is
in the Democratic party. The Star
Route swindles, the Malone bargain
and the Conkling fight bring to the
surface only small part of the fes-
tering corruption that is undermin-
b 3 ing the government 1t is hoped
the truth will all come out, that the
people will wake up and act before
we are bound hand and foot by the
corrupt demagogues who have con-
trolled affairs for almost twenty
years,

DIR. Editor, such occasions are no I'M

fostered; the heroic actions of our fore
fathers are kept before the mind of the
young; the people can be more thor

ignorance is the twin sister to Vtce; that
no free government ever has or ever

to respect that Being who has guided

TIE INJHN01I0N DISMISSED.

Contrary to the expectations ex-
pressed in our last issue, Chancellor
Merritt rendered a decision on last
Wednesday dismissing TIE bill and
dissolving the Injunction granted by
Judge Williams The injunction was
to restrain the Secretary Of State,
Comptroller and Treasurer, who con-
stitutc the funding board, from re-
funding the present debt eff Tennes-
see into bonds for the full face value
of the debt, and bearing coupons re-
ceivable for taxes and other dues to
the Stats. The bill claimed that the
act creating the board and authoriz-
ing the refunding of the debt was
passed through bribery, and by eff
forts on the part of certain railroad
companies that were interested in
having the State debt question set
tied, in order to relieve them from
certain suits The Chancellor, in the
able and well considered opinion re-
ferred to, comes in brief to the fol
lowing conclusions;
.--. l. That had the bill been presented to
him originally he would not Fve grant
ed the injunction.
2. The act of the Legislature in ques
ton is constitutional and valid
8. The motive of the Legislature on
the corrupt practices of some members
thereof cannot be inquired into by the
courts, though they might be indicted
and punished criminally.
4. Thesact in question does not inter-
fere with the collection of taxes fol-
publie schools.
o. That the cOmplainauts have not
such an interest in the matter diffe rent
from all the citizens of the state AS will
authorize them to maintain the suit.
g. That there are no merits or equit-
les in the bill therefore dissolves the in
- junction and dismisses the entire bill.
On the rendition of this opinion
the compliments prayed for and
were granted an appeal to the Su-
preme Court of the State The in
junction will therefore remain in full
force until the case can come up be-
fore the Supreme Court this fall for
final decision.

A SIGNIFICANT CIRCUMSTANCE.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-UpOn re-
ceiving the assurances of the Presi
dents physicians this morning that
his recovery could be looked for,
Vice President Arthur returned to
New York to dispOse of some private
business. He consulted with the
cabinet and Mrs. Garfield on the
matter last evening; and on being
thoroughly convinced that he Is not
running any risk by so doing decided
upon leaving the city. Since the
Vice President has been in the city.
having come it will be remembered,
on Sunday, July 3, the day after
the President was shot, he has left
his rooms at Senator Jones house
but few times, and at each of those
times called at the Executive Man
sion to see Mrs. Garfield. He did
not see the President during any Of
his visits.
VISITORS EXCLUDED.
No one outside Of Col. Rockwell
and Major Swain, excepting Mrs.
Garfield, some of the children, and
the physicians and nurses, have
been admitted to the Presidents
room for nearly a week, and none
will be until he has reached a con-
dition when it will not do him any
harm to talk. Although everything
has been the Presidents way to-day,
he has by no means recovered his
strength. He is still weak, very
weak in fact.

WASHINGTON, July 12.- Charles
J. Guiteau complains of the restrict

Jail. The District Attorney told
him in that case he woul3 propably
be annoyed by persons looking at
him through the bars. Guiteau
said he wasn't afraid to be looked
at and he needed more exercise
Colonel Corkhill then sarcastically
told him his health was very seri-
GUS matter to the general public,
and that he would bring his carriage
down occasionally and take him
for a ride over the hills in the
vicinity. Guiteau took the PROPOSE
ton seriously, and said he must de-
cline it as he would not feel his life
safe outside the jail. 'sThe truth is.
said Col. Corkhill, snow that the
Presidents recovery is almost as
sured, and the Penitentiary is
looming up before him, Guiteau has
but small chance of passing be-

martyr to his cause, and he is prov

A Fiery Grave.

The Westphalia papers give an ac-
count of terrible catastrophe which oc-
CURED in the northwestern part of that
province on the 18th inst. There has
been for some time in operation in the
neighborhood of Solingen, not far from
Barmen, a strange phenomenon. A
part of the soil of hilly heath became
excessively hot, so much so that some
people living close by availed themselves
of the heat for domestic purposes. The
explanation suggested was that some in
tammable subterranean gas, or perhaps
petroleum, had been accidentally set on
fire. Some water had been brought to
the spot by an artificial channel; but its
contact with the burning soil had onlv
produced violent explosions, which SEEM
ed to shatter all the ground around.
Yesterday week some persons drove out
in carriage from Remscheid to INSPECT
the spot. When arrived at distance of
about quarter of an English mile. thew
heard a strange rumbling noise, which
so terrified the horses that they had to
alight and send the carriage back some
distance. They walked on, discussing
the likelihood of any danger, when sud.
denly space of the hillside, about one
hundred meters square, opened, dis
closing gulf of liquid fire and throw
ing up flames The house where the
family mentioned above lived was at
once surrounded by the flames, and
was, before their eyes, swallowed up in
the liquid fiery caldron at their feet, APP
parently feeding the flames. 1t is known
that several persons were in the house;
none were saved, but it has not been as
certained how many perished.

THE WILLIAMS MURDER CASE.
Statements OF the Accused Daugh-
ter@s

DANvILLE, VA, Sept 12.-The New
York Herald correspondent at Danville.
Va, had an interview on the 18th with
the Williams girls, who are charged
with killing their father on the 8th,
near Whitnell. The eldest, in re-
ply to question put to her as to
the perpetrator of the crime, made q
statement that on the evening preceding
the murder her father sent her to Whit
nell to purchase whisky with money she
had earned with her own hands by dry
ing fruit, and that she procured the
quantity of whisky desired and invested
the remainder of the money in.
a few yards of calico. When she
returned home her father became
enraged about the purchase of the
calico, and, having tied her to a tree,
beat her nearly to death; that he then
choked her mother till she was black in
the face; that her mother as soon as she
was released went for the warrant, and
that she and her sister, fearing for their
lives, took both of the axes and hid
them; but their father demanded them,
saying that he intended to kill his entire
family and burn them up afterwards.
She denied emphatically all knowledge
Of the murder. Their story, however, is
utterly discredited. At the time of the
discovery of Williams body the calico
referred to by the girl was found by his
side, and it is believed that he took it
away from the girls, and that they
waited until he was asleep and killed
him as already reported. There were
two axes used, instead of one, and so
deeply were they imbedded that in
drawing them out the head and shoul-
ders were lifted from the ground. One
of the girls, who appears half idiotic,
would make no statement, but indorsed
that of her sister.
No one, in looking at the prisoners,
would judge them capable of commit
ting such an unnatural CRIME. They are
both destitute of education, and have
picked up living by gathering berries,
Chestnuts, ETC., which they generally ex.
changed for whisky for their father. A
horrible story is circulated here to the ef-
feet that Williams, few days before the
murder, had instructed two of his
daughters to earn money by leading a
vicious life, and said that after killing
his wife he would take the third daugh-
b6I III uSI Sttdu duu JucI6 10 suEuls6
that the murder originated in an attempt
on his part to carry out this purpose.
Though Williams was bad man in all
the relations of life, public sentiment is
aroused against his unnatural children.
When arrested the girls had two of Will
liams' grandchildren with them, and, as
they were present when the tragedy oc-
CURED, it is believed they will in time
give the facts in the case.

This is pretty good fish story. and
what is better a true story. The SeGen-
ttfSc american says: ''In our paper for
December %, 1873, we gave an engrav-
ing of curious mode of catching turtles
practiced in the West Indies. which con.
sisted in attaching ring and line to the
tail of species of sucker fish known as
the remora. The live fish is then thrown
overheard, and Immediately makes for
the first turtle he can spy, to which he
attaches himself firmly by means of a
sucking apparatus arranged on the top
of its head. Once attached to the turtle,
SO firm is his gripe that the fisherman
on drawing the line brings home both
turtle and the sucker. The latter is then
ready for new excursion. The account
we published stated that the white-tailed
species OF remoFa (EchenesSs GI6icGttdG,
Mitch.) frequents our North Atlantic
coast, and is sometimes taken in Long
Island Sound, where it is known % the
shark sucker"
