CHIEF JUsTIcECARTTER and Judges
Jones and Hagner, constituting the court in
banc, have rendered decision upon the last
motion filed by Reed in Guiteau's behalf.
The Chief Justice delivered the decision, as
follows: stIn the case of Guiteau, the
judges who listened to the argument have
come to the conclusion that they have ex-
hausted their powers upon it; that they
have heard it patiently, fully and fairly, and
that reargument would bring no other con-
clusion than that already referred to, and
they decline to reopen the case.

BRENNAN, Secretary of the Land
League, after his release, June 2, addressed
a large assemblage in Kilkenny. He said his
real jailers were Gladstone, Bright, Cham
berlin and the whole crowd of pseudo hui
manitarians and renegade republicans who
composed the British Cabinet. He hoped il
the 500 suspects were called upon for real
sacrifices they will be ready, if necessary,
to die for their country. They had seen the
government acknowledge Michael Davitt as
conqueror. Much remained to be done.
They must tear up the very roots Of land

Hon, b. A. Enloe, of jackson, i.

Hon. b. A. Enloe, of jackson, is
announced as candidate for congress
In the eighth district, and has good
prospects for securing the nomination.
If anybody should be rewarded for
faithful party service, he certainly
deserves it. Shortly after the war,
as soon as he became OF age, he was
elected to represent Carroll county in
the legislature, where he did good
work for his county and state. Since
then he has filed other positions of
honor with credit to himself and his
party. He has also for number of
years been editor of the leading dem>
ocratic paper of his district, and has
done more hard and effective work
for politicians than almost any other
man. Two years ago he had fiat
tering prospect for the nomination,
but periodically withdrew his name
in favor of the gallant Atkins, who
now declines TO again make the race.
Mr.. Enloe is a young, vigorous, tal>
ented man, and has no ante-war re.
cord to clog his usefulness in congress
if he should be sent there, and we be-
lieve he would make most excellent
member.

Discussion has been started in Wis
consin, Indiana and Michigan since
the great Prohibition victory in Iowa,
which seems likely to bring the ques-
ton to a vote at an early day in each
State named. Indiana seems to be
the next objective point of the Tenn
perance people, and they express
great confidence in their ability to
carry the measure there.

Uniform School Books.

At a meeting of the School Direc.
tors of this county, held in Trenton
on Tuesday, the Goth inst. the fol-
lowing books were adopted for uni.
form use in The county for five years:
McGuffey's Revised Primer.
McGuffey's Revised Speller.
McGuffey's Revised First Reader.
McGuffey's Revised Second Reader.
McGutfey's Revised Third Reader.
McGuffey's Revised Fourth Reader
McGuffey's Revised Fifth Reader.
McGuffey's Revised Sixth Reader.
Rays New Elementary and Practi.
cal Arithmetic.
Harvey's Revised Elementary and
English Grammar.
Eclectic Biographies, l, 2 and 8.
Eclectic Copy books.
Barnes U. S. History.
A guaranteed proposition was en-.
tered into by the publishers and di.
rectors that these books should be
furnished at certain exchange and
retail price, and that they are to be
placed on sale in different parts of the
county, when they can be sold at re.
duced rates. With the exception OF
the Histor +, these books are published
by Van Antwerp. Bragg u Co., of
Cincinnati. We are pleased with the
action of the directors, and believe
they have made the most Judicious
selection. This series of school books
is very popular all over the county,
and justly so, we think. Had the
choice been left to us, we should have
adopted this list almost entire.

Mr. Joshua Brown, of GAINESVILLE,
died in Lebanon, Ohio. on the Goth
ult., of paralysis, after a very short
Illness. He was in the SD year of
his age, was one of the oldest Masons
in the state and one of the purest
Christians. He leaves large and res
spected family of sons and one daugh,
ter to miss the wise counsel and mourn
the loss of one of the kindest fathers
we ever knew. The writer of this
was honored with the friendship of
this noble man, and sincerely mingles
a tear of coincidence with the grief
stricken family. His life was long
and-his walk holy and upright, and
we know of no man who was ripper
for heaven than he was.

prised some of the best and most faith.
full workers of the body, and the reg
ular business received careful atten-
ton.
Mr.. g. H. Baskette, of the MUIR
freesboro News was elected historian,
a capital selection. Four able gentle
men--Messrs. Slater, Purviance, Nc
Gowan and Lewis--were selected to
read essays at the next session.
Prof. Henry E. Cotton, State Geol-
ogist, delivered most interesting
short lecture on the resources of Ten.
nessee, especial y of the country i'm
mediately around Bon Aqua, which
abounds with most excellent ore. In
fact the hills.are full of it. Petrole-
um oil is also found there in paying
quantities. We regret that we have
not the notes of the lecture, so we
could publish it entire.
The Secretary and the Executive
Committee were instructed to consider
the subject of an excursion to Colo,a-
do next summer, sand make arrange-

Mr.. John Fl. McDowell--who, by
the way, is an old citizen of this coun-
ty, and has many warm friends among
our people--was untiring in his exer-
tions to make every guest comforta.
BILE. He is certainly the most genial,
polite and pleasant manager we have
ever met at a watering place. A
magnificent new hotel has just been
finished, and it is said to be the larg.
est frame in the state, being 240 feet
long and ninety feet wide. The
rooms are all plastered and furnished
with elegant new furniture. The din.
ing and ball rooms are each 40 by 80
feet, very high ceiling, with ventila.
ton and light perfect. Besides the
main building, there are about one
hundred cottage rooms scattered over
the grounds, SO all can be suited as to
location and quiet. A beautiful ar
tificial lake adorns the grounds and the
surrounding scenery is very romantic.

And in the winds from unsunned spaces DIoWh,

Thou who hast made my home of life so pleasant,
Leave not its tenant when ITS walls decay,
O Love divine. y Helper ever present,

Re near me when all else is from Inc drifting,
Earth sky homes pictures, days OF shade ana

And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
Ihaye bnt Thee. Father Let Thy spirit
BE with me then to comfort and uphold;
No gate of pearl no branch of palm, merit,
Nor street of shining gold.
Suffice it if-my good and i'll unreckoncd,,
And both forgiven through Thy abounding
grace -.
7 find myself by hands familiar beckoncd
Unto my fitting place:
Some humble door among Thy many mansions,
Some shelteIing shade where SIN ana surviving

And flows forever through heavens green expansions
The river OF Thy peace.
There. from the music round about me stealing,
/ fain would learn the new and holy song,
And find at last beneath Thy trees Ol healing,
