THE deadlock at Albany still
continues. No election has been
had and there seems to be no pros
pect of any. Conkling positively
refuses to agree to any compromise
by which he and any other man
than Plat shall be chosen. We
think he is right about it from his
standpoint. 1t would be inexcusa-
bly, base for him to desert little
Platt and let him go down while he
swan ashore and saved himself.
The Half Breeds and Stalwarts
have been engaged for tho last week
or two in investigating each others
rascality. Let the investigation
proceed. Let the hair-pulling and
eye-gouging go on. Lay on Nancy,
lay on bear. We never felt more
resigned to stand still and see a
fair fight proceed.

The uayes-ConkIing interview,

Don Piatt, in a letter published
in the Washington Capital, estab-
fishes beyond question the truthful
ness of the Bellefontaine interview
with eX-President Hayes, wherein
Hayes bore down rather hard on
Conkling and Blaine. The expires
ident, it will be remembered, de-
MED the utterances attributed to
him. These Piatt seems to eStab-
hsh. He says: "In private let
ter before me, which / have no
right to quote, but will "allee
samee," the President says: 'Of
course, Ididn't expect to be report
cd about Conkling, or would have
kept a close mouth. Not that the
reporter blundered to any great ex-
tent, but i don't like to seem even.
to strike a man who is the under
dog in the fight, even if he is my
enemy.'n The quotation from the
letter of the ex President seems to
raise a question of veracity some
where.

Protect the Fish.
Cheathem County New Era


Some time since we called atten-
ton to the fact, that a fish associa-
ton had been formed in Montgom-
cry county, for the protection OF fish
in that county, and urged the inn
portance ola similar organization
in this county. We think the inn
portance of the subject will excuse
us for again calling attention to the
matter. Those who willfully,
knowingly and presistently violate
the law ought to be taught, that it
can not be done with impunity,
and if they do SO there are those
who will see to it that they will
have to answer for every violation.
When this is understood then it
will be that the law will be obsery-
ed, and the object of the legislature
in passing the law will be carried
out.

THE JULY NUMBER or THE
NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.

This spirited periodical as usual
gives usa considerable variety of pa
pers on variety of subjects its
contributions are most OF them emf
nent and all of them valuable.
Carl Schurz gives us well con
sidered paper on the Indian ques-
ton which is, for us what the Irish
question is for England. So long as
the Indians are treated as tribes
rather than us individuals, 50
long as they are dealt with as for
eigners rather than as citizens, so
long as they receive from the gov
eminent wholesale grants of land
which do nothing for them but serve
as temptationto INSCRIPTIONS white
men who settle round them, so long
in short as the old routine ofiiheral-
ity, aggression, resistance, war and
subjugation is kept up, he sees no
hope for the Indian, but predicts
his progress from bad to worse I'M
til he is removed off the face of the
earth. We must take occasion
here TO congratulate Mr.. Schurz
upon his sequestration from party
conflict and the devotion of his eff
forts to a calmer treatment of politi-
cal topics than can be INDUCED in
by one engaged, in interlecine con-
fiict for the spoils.
Talking of spoils brings US to Mr..
Parton's paper on the Poaoea' Of Pub
Tic pt,aaoEe1. 1t needs only be said
that Mr.. Parton has a familiarity
beyond that of any other living
man with the intricate mysteries of
New York politics; and when he
writes of public plumber may fairly
say CT write of that which / do
know"
The celebrated humanitarian, Mr..
Henry Bergh gives US a paper ON
the COST Of Cruelty and shows that
the terrible sufTerings of animals dur
ing their progress to the great food
markets are not only shocking to
humanity but extravagantly waste
full, causing losses to be estimated
by millions,
Mr.. Richard Stoddard knows well
what he is doing when he writes
abobt poetry and his IStudy of Ten
,yson at once appreciative and dis
eliminating will be welcome NOR
ce0u to all genuine lovers of litera-
ture.
Mr.. Henry George writes on the
Common Sense Of Iaration. We
have not yet read his paper but if
he can say anything new and salts
factory on that vexed question, we
will agree to put him first on the
list of reviewers.
Finally a Yankee Farmer dispOs-
es with ease of some of the profOun-
dest and most difficult questions
which are now agitating the moral,
religious and intellectual faculties
of our greatest men. The title of
his paper is The Religious Conflicts
of the Age, and we doubt not but
his solution of these problems will
be found highly satisfactory-at
least to his brother farmers.
The N. A. R. is always welcom g
and even where we do not agree
with the conclusions of its writers,
we always find ample suggestions
for profitable thought-may we new
er miss it from our table.

"A SPECIAL to the Courier-JOur-
nal from Edyville KY, says that
about two weeks ago n couple of
fishermen, James Lambart and Bud
Knight, started from Kuttawa to
GAINESVILLE in canoe together, and
after passing Rockcastle, Knight
murdered and robbed Lambart and
abandoning the canoe started up
the country on foot. Lambart's
body was found in the river with
the skull badly crushed, and strip
ped of money and valuables, and
in a few days Knight was captured
and put in Jail at Dover, he had
$500 in money when arrested.
Lambart had a considerable amount
Of money when he lett Kuttawa,

Both parties were well known to

Jennie CrnMer's Murder.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, September g.
DR.. Durrel Shepherd, of New Haven,
testified in the Malley case this morn-
ing tha, the appearance of Jennie Cra-
mer's body showed it had been in the
water from three to six hours. II was
not much water-soaked or bic ated The
inside of the hands were withered and
soaked Three hours in the sea water
would produce this result. "A bloody
looking fluid came from the mouth, and
perhaps nose. Tie doctor thought the
girl was not drowned and was virtuous
up to a few days of her death,
not to exceed three. On the cross-ex
animation he insisted that an outrage
bad been committed, great violence
being used. There was no decomposi-
ton; the body did not hoat by reason of
gases, but because of air in the lungs.
Juror Henry w. Painter, NJ. D., of
West Haven, corroborated DIR. Shep-
herd as to the unusual violence. He
thought the body was dead when placed
in the water. The witness said on cross
examination that he had not written a
letter to..Blanche Douglass while at the
Fl. .ttman Ho. .se in which he promised
not to use the evidence he might pro-
cure from her in Il court of law. He
had all interview with Blanche Doug
lass''at the house of Lizzy Bundy in New
York. He made Miss Douglass no
promises nor paid her any money. On
the redirect examination the witness
identified the letters which were pro
duc-d before the Coroner's jury written
by James Malley to Jennie Cramer.

pleasure in telling you how glad | am
to meet my comrades in the late war,
but it is impossible for me to make this
vast out.of-door audience hear the
sound of my voice. l wish simply to
say that it affords me great pleasure to
meet and great the Veterans of the late
conflict. | hone these annual meetings
will continue to take place. | see no
indications of animesluy at these meet
ings towards those who fought on the
other side. We would rather invite
them to join with us in honoring the
flag of our common country. 1t can be
said Of the veteran that he would not
ask anything of his Government that
he would deny to any citizen except
his pension, and he expects that to be
given to Union soldiers only.

Calvin &. Bliss, q brother of DR.. Bliss
of this city, has written to his brother
here from his home at North Brooktield,
Massachusetts, under date of the strange
atmospherical pheuomena which has
caused remarks and alarm to many.
Mr.. Bliss says "We have had won

chickens went to roost, and the people
had to have lights burning in their
houses. The big shop (tLe largest shoe
