musicians played What are the Wild
Waves Saying?" and kitty answered in
her sweetest soprano, "Meyow, meyow,
meyow" The cat made its entrance
almost unnoticsd, but its exit was
conspicuous because Brindy carried
him out by the nape ofhis neck. The
scene over, the little actress ap-
preached Millard Hedrick, the janitor,
who was the first person she saw, and
in all the glory Of flushed cheeks and
flushed hair, asked him why he
allowed kitty to follow her upon the

TIE RUSSELL BOOM.
Punctured by n Statement or
the Actual Facts.
Chattanooga Democrat Of Saturday, IA

OhAttanOoga Democrat Of Saturday, IA.
A Democrat representative visited
Captain j. Harvey Mathes, editor Of
the Memphis LEDGER, who stopped iD
this city on his way home from a visit
to New York, last night, and found
him in excellent health and spirits. In
reply to the question, has that boom
for RUSSELL, advertised by the Nash
vile Banner to start from Memphis,
ever materialized?" the Captain
laughingly responded.
"Doak never intended that yarn TO
be belieyed-Fussell has not a strong.
hold in West Tennessee. He will get
his largest vote in Shelby county, and
the largest number claimed for him
there is 1000, though he will not get
that many. In Weakley, 0biOn, Har-
demaR and Dyer he will not get more
than 900 votes in the four counties.
Careful estimates giving Russell all that
he can fairly claim, give him not more
than 25OO votes in West Tennessee
The election in Ohio will chill even
what few friends he has there, and it
is very doubtful whether he will get
the vote that is conceded to him. All
this talk about a boom from West
Tennessee is silly nonsense and no
foundation whatever in fact. In West
Tennessee they talk of boom from
East Tennessee, and those who are
acquainted with that section say
authOritatively, that he will not exceed
three hundred votes in the whole sec,
ton"
After talking over the political out
look Of the country, which the Captain
felt assured was never brighter fol
Democracy, he bade the reporter good
night and retired.

paper as a blackmailing sheet which
provoked fierce retort, then rushed
up to the Office and gave Cockerill a
chance to kill him legally. 1t was no
doubt clear case Of self-defense in
the eyes Of the law. Society is to
blame for this as we'll as the princi-
pals. Sensational papers are always
well patronized, their editors are en-
couraged to 20 to the utmo strange Of
decency and prOpriety, and those who
happen to go beyond still have admir-
ing followers. Now that poor Slay-
back is in his grave there is a great
revolution Of popular feeling. He
had the largest funeral that has been
seen in st. Louis since that of Frank
Blair in 1875. The paper is denounced
in unmeasured terms and the mer-
chants threaten to start another after
noon paper. sPublic favor is tickle
and those who bask in its balmiest
sunshine are often in deadliest peril.
When Slayback denounced the Post
Dispatch before vast crowd he was
applauded vociferously by the very
men who patronized the paper and had
chuckled a thousand times over its
audacious intermeddling in private
affairs. He felt that the vox populi
was on his side and felt called
upon to do something. He did do
something very indiscreet and foolish.
His death lies at the door Of the pub
lie, which is ever ready to encourage
strife without assuming any of the
consequences, as well as at Colonel
Cockerill's door. The press is a power
for evil as we'll as good. 1t should be
in the hands of conscientious, fair
minded, level headed men, who dare
to do right regardless of Aattery or
intimidation.

Iris stated upon good home author
ity that Fussell will not carry single
civil district in Maury county, where
he lives 1t is asserted that he will
not carry single civil district in the
State, and it is certain that he will not
carry a single county. Yet his sup
porters assert that he represents the
Democratic party, which has a clear
majority Of 10000 votes in this State.
There must be some misunderstanding
about all this. The more the Fussell
orators try to throw light on the sub
ject the darker it gets, especially for
them.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

PoRT SAID, October 17.-It is re-

prohibited the employment of any one
who worked for or assisted the British
forces, consequently many are unem-

DUBLIN, October 1.-THE Irish
National Conference opened to-day,
Parnell presiding. A letter from
Eagan, dated Paris, rendering his
resignation as Treasurer of the Land
League, and giving a statement of the
funds of the League, was read. The
report shows total Of e244. 500 has
passed through his hands. OF this
sum there was distributed in relieving
distress, in 1880, e5OOOO; in defense
at State trials over 9l5,0O0 and in ex-
penditures through General Land
Leaugue and Ladies' League, ,el49, 600,
leaving balance Of nearly $4,000.
Egan specifies purposes to which
the 9l4S,OOO expended through the
General Land League and Ladies
League were applied, as follows: Sup
port Of eyicted tenants, erection Of
Land League huts, payment of law
costs and general expenses of the
organization. For his own protection
IS well as for satisfaction of members
Of the League he asks that two mem
bers of the Executive Committee be
deputsd TO examine his accounts.

to and continued confidence in Egan,
which was passed.
Parnell and Dillon were received
with tremendous cheering by the del.
egates, Nearly all the extreme Irish
members of Parliament are present
The attendance of delegates is large.
At the time fixed for opening
Conference very few delegates were
present, but in about an hour there
were between seven hundred anC
eight hundred in the hall. On the
platform were Lord Mayor Dawson
and Mes,rs. Healy, Thomas, Powell
0'Oonner, Corbett, Gill, Sexton
O'Sullivan and Brennan. Egan
in his letter Of resignation says
I'm view of the fact that a new ma
tional organization is likely to sprinl
from this conference, and as it is i'm
possible for me to longer absent mysel
from my own business in Dublin,
most earnestly beg my friends in th
Land League to relieve me Of tn
treasurership."
Esgan then submitted the 6nancia
statement mentioned in the precedin
dispatch. He gives only round figures

THE omission OF the counties Meigs
Rhea and Cumberland from the Re
districting Bill may have been mere
clerical error, or it may have beer
done from a sinister motive. 1t is
the duty Of the committee on enrolled
bills to see that the final copies arc
correct. The chairman or member
designated usually reads the engrosseG
bills, word by word, while the engross
ing clerk holds the original copy, Oh
vice versa. The Speakers sign the
bills when placed before them as a
mere matter of form and routine duty
without any examination. The Gov.
ernor, if he approves, signs his name
without searching for such minor err
rors as the omission of a word or let
ter. In the haste of rushing bills
through near the end Of a session
especially, it is wonder there are moi
more errors Of a serious nature
In 1879 there was a grave
mistake in the Appropriation
Bill which had to be- corrected
by succeeding Legislature. A com
mittee ofinvestigation was appointed
but the affair was never entirely
cleared up. There was reason to be-
lieve that the omission was caused by
the manipulation of an interested
person, but the fact was not proved.
The Redistricting Billwas agreed upon
bya coalition of 80 called Democrats
and the Republicans. The districts
were arranged with view to sustain
the infamous 100 3 act. 1t was done
boldly and unblushingly. Then favors
were distributed around the board to
men who had political aspirations and
dull axes to grind. The East Ten
nessee Democrats, always the truest Of
the true, they who had saved thc
State to the party time and again, were
given the snub and cut direct. The
Republicans up there, headed by the
Senator from Sewer county, were
allowed to map out East Tennessee as
they wished, and SO the bill wai
passed. These facts are known and
keenly felt by the East Tennessee
Democrats, but were partially
Obscured by the greater issu,
of the State debt. They consti-
tute a part Of the history of an iDglo-
riOus attempt to sell out the
Democratic party and the State to the
Republicans by few misled fanatic
of extreme bourbon antecedents, who
call themselves Democrats. They
have the hands Of Esau but the voice
Of Jacob. 1t has been very ably
argued in the Nashville American that
the failure to include the three
counties in the Redistricting Bill
renders it null and void, and it has
been stated that Attorney Genera
Lea has so advised Governor Hawkins
1t creates considerable doubt and
anxiety at heart. Possibly another
extra session will be necessary. We
have only had three, and perhaps the
State can stand another.
