one time, of standard silver coin in the
treasury in redemption, etc.
The ways and means amendment was
rejected.
The senate amendment (25th) was
then concurred in.
Conger's amendment to the 9th sec.
tion was defeated.
Carlisle moved to suspend the rules
and pass the bill amending the funding
bill just passed, SO as to make it con-
form with the amendments recon-
mended by the committee on ways and
means. Among the amendments is one
providing that nothing in the act shall
be construed to repeal, modify or affect
sections 5000, 2l, p, %, "a, of the re-
vised statutes.
Xeifer referred to the bill brought in
by Carlisle as confession that the
democratic party could not, after ten
months consideration, pass funding
bill that was fit to go to the country.
The gentleman from Kentucky (Carlisle)
confessed and admitted that the bill
just agreed to was vile and evil, and
that the whole country would be ruined
by it. He (Keiferl did not believe that
the national banks action of the past
few days had been actuated by any great
courage. But this was not question of
national banks, it was a question of
bread and prosperity. 1t was ques-
tion of cheap money. Money had been
cheap for few days, now it was dear
because the democratic party could not
pass law that would not ruin and un-
settle any great interests of the coun-
try.
Carlisle took the floor to close the de-
bate. He had not confessed that the
funding bill would ruin the business of
the country or injure them IN any re-
spect in all this discussion. No word
had fallen from his lips in denuncia-
tion of the national banks. He had
been only looking to the highest and
best interests of this great government
and the American people, and had con-
sidered the interests OF the national
banks insubordinate to them. If the
gentleman from Ohio thought, it more
important to preserve the franchises of
national banks, than to place the credit
of this great government on basis of
3 per cent. ,let.him act accordingly. He
took this occasion to say the national
banks by their conduct, by their action
of the past few days, and by their abuse
Of the power which the bill took away
from them, he hoped forever had done
more to raise the spirit of indignation
among the American people than all
the words Of denunciation ever uttered
by any democrat. He warned them
that when they had once satisfied the
American people that all the value
could be disturbed and all business de-
ranged at their sovereign will and plea
sure, the days of their lives were
numbered. He had taken the position
at the beginning OF this contest, that
congress would be faithless to its duties
If it failed to apply remedy for this
great evil which was threatening the
business interests of the country, and
would continue to do SO as long as the
banks had the power to control the cur
rency as they had done last week.
Inc rules were then suspended and
the Dill passed. No, division being

JAIL JUMPER.
Escape of a COlOred Individual Who
Answers to the Clas ic AppelIa-
lion Of John Henry
Biggers.

On Tuesday evening, the 26th inst,
there was quite stir upon our streets
for a short time, in consequence Of the
escape of colored man, John Henry
Biggers, from our Jail. On MONDAY
evening Mr.. Macon, the jailer, per-
mitted the prisoners to be let out of
their cells into the corridor, in order
that they might walk around and take
some recreation. Before dark he took
one of his sons up with him to return
them to their cells, and to lock them
up. He sent his son in, who ordered
the prisoners to go into their cells.
All, as he thought, obeyed promptly,
and he then went to each cell door
and called the names of the prisoners
belonging in each, all of whose names
were answered as usual; the young
man, thinking all right, locked up the
cells containing the prisoners. There
is one cell at present vacant, the door
to which is kept open in order to air it
well while unoccupied. The prisoner,
John Henry Biggers, concealed him
self in this cell, and his cell-mate
answered for him when lis name WAS
called, and also took his breakfast
into his cell for him the next morning.
When their dinners were taken up,
the young man discovered something
wrong, and not seeing John Henry in
the cell, asked his partner where he
was. He denied knowing. In the
meantime, john Henry, having pulled
off his shoes, slipped out of the cell in
which he had secreted himself, and, as
the young man passed around on one
side of the cell with their dinners, he
went on the other side and passed out
of the C 'rridor doer. Descending the
stairway, and going through the back
yard, ne made off, but was closely
pursued and captured, after an ex-
citing chase, before he had gotten out
of the town.

THE Courier-JonrnaI has a lengthy
article on the politics Of the day and
the tendency Of liberal views coming
to the front in the South, and gives
the democratic party some wholesome
advice, which, however, it should
heed. 1t cluses the article with the
following sensible remarks:
In word, the country cares more
for measures than for men, and will
follow those only who appeal to it,
confidence through its intelligence.
On the old sectional lines, the South
stood; as it must always stands at a
fatal disadvantage, the result Of the
dispute Ringing on the law Of force
against force. Hence we are indif-
ferent to considerations of solidity.
Let parties divide in the South al
much as they like; VIC shall side with
those who are right and against those
who are wrong. That side alone car
be right which stands by the public
credit, the public morality, the public
development and progress; which pro
poses tangible methods for making the
best of the gifts God has given us
which sets itself against ignorance and
prejudice and sIoth aud intolerance
and lawlessness. We would rather be
out of power forever than lower the
flag Of an enlightened truth and honor
to the jobbery of the present race o.
cross-road leaders who infest both the
democratic and republican parties.
But our notion is that venality anc
demagogism cannot last always, and
in spite Of many discouragements, ",
live in the sunshine of blessed hope
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1881-04-28

must be corrected at the very first op-
portunity.
8. But when it is proposed to take
another and needless aggressive step,
one entirely needless except to give
Malone his pay, and turn cut two ex-
cellent and acceptable officers simply
because they are democrats, the dem
ocratic Senators say no, you shall not
do it, ann we viii stop you 10y pre-
eisely the same means which you en-
pIoyed for eventeen days to stop US
from organizing the committees.
10. Whenever the republicans shall
have a majority even of one in the
Senate, no democrat will interpose a
single dilatory motion against the
election Of new officers, but so long as
the republican Senators, united with
Malone, have only one-half Of the
Senate, and the democrats have the
other half, the democrats will not aid,
directly or indirectly, in turning out
democratic officers.
II. TIE republican Senators may
make up their minds that neither at
this session nor at the next session
will they be able to turn Messrs.
Burch and Bright out of Office unless
by some means they first acquire q
majority of the Senate.
u. One word more: When com
mittees are to be appointed next De
cember, if the Senate continues evenly
divided as now, fair warning is given
to the republican Senators that the
democratic Senators viii insist on fan
and equitable division of the commit
tees and chairmanships There are
thirty-eight Senators on each side Of
the chamber, and common fuirnes:
demands an equal partition of commit
tees.
IS. For the republican Senators t.
demand all the committees, and al
the chairmanships by the casting vote
of the Vice-President, is simply IL
empower the Vice President to appoint
the committees. That has never been
consented to until this session, when
for the sake of peace, the democrat;
permitted it. 1t will never be per
mitted again, and due and fair warn
ing is now given to that effect.
1t is held by democratic Senator,
that these propositions present then
case in the clearest manner, and en-
tirely justify to anyone, evon but
slightly familiar with the rules of leg
islative proceedings, the course they
have adopted and which they persist
| in.

This is our first experience IN running
a newspaper. Little did we think that
when we placed our name in the columns
Of the Clarion, as the responsible person
for the matter that happened 70 find its
way into these columns, that anything
would ever happen that we would have
to take back or get whipped But such
Is the case. We have either got to give
up the freedom of the press or have
head put OF rs. The item which ap-
peared about one " Prof GerbeJt play
ing the " Arkansaw Traveller" around
the street corners of KearnGy for cold
biscuits and slack and sour barley water
has got to be apologized for. Last
/ Wednesday, when we were going along
one of the principal streets of the county
seat IN company with several friends,
/ there suddenly appeared before our gaze
! the sIandered q Professor" He com
menced the conversation by saying he
/ had not been given his dinner by a serv-
/ ant girl at the back door, and thought
/ he would make a lunch out of the writer.
! We entered protest, bat to no use. He
/ claimed he WAS 400 miles from home,
! both heels run over, and all wool and
! yard wide, warranted to neither rip nor
ravel, and had killed enough editors to
make Il corduroy road from Lookout
mountain to Puget sound. He unbut-
toned his coat and, gently putting his
hand in his hip pocket, he calmly gave
us our choice between retractiOn and
having our carcass shot all full of bullet
holes. As the thoughts rapidly ira
versed our mind about having our re-
mains shipped to an aged and loving
mother looking like the top sieve of a
tanning mill, and how our creditors
would mourn at our death, as we thought
of another person shat holds a warranty
deed of the four sections of our heart,
town 9, range ID, and the idea of being
shot by Il second-class, one-horse, cranky
fiddler was more than we could stand.
Hence the apology.-SIteIton (Nc6.) }

closing of the COIOrcd Public school

The colored public school, taught
by Rev. J. A. Jones, of Fisk Univer-
sity, closed on last Friday, having
been in session for FIVE months. An
examination was held, commencing
Wednesday, with the smallest classes,
and ending on Friday with the adj
vanced classes. Specimens of map
drawing and penmanship were exhib-
tied during the afternoon. Among
the best specimens of maps were those
of Misses Fannie Miller, Annie Young
and Alice McNeal, Messrs. Nelson
Anderson, Jno. Hazzlegrovc, Chas.
Davis and Early Roberts. Miss Alice
McNeal drew the premium map of
the United States, with all the States
and Territories. At night n school
exhibition was held that proved to be
a success, and reflected great credit on
many pupils who participated. The
house was thronged with spectators,
and a great many were unable to find
seats. The exhibition consisted of
recitations, declarations, dialogues,
singing and gymnastics. Prominent
