Is 1T TRUE
As ". X. Moore Says, that Democrats
Propose 10 60 Over 10 the
Republicans.

CINCINNATI, January l0-The Commercial
published yesterday the following special
from Washington:
Representative Moore, of Tennessee, said
to night: "We shall make considerable in
roads into the Democratic half of our dele
cations il We do not carry every district in
the State next election. The liberal move
ment is groming in Tennessee, as in all
Southern States, and will soon make its
strength known. We have received PROPOSE
tons recently from the State-credit Demo-
Gratis, which we shall probably accept. They
offer TO join US, TO vote the Republican
ticket, and do not ask anything from us ez-
cept decent treatment. With their assist
ance, think We shall carry nearly every
district in the State, as Tennessee is, you
know, naturally Republican State. The
r -cognition and support which l feel
sure this administration will give
the Republican party will win every time.
That is what is wanted in every Southern
State, the assurance that the administration
will encourage liberal movement. The ten
Republican members from the South tell me
that that is exactly the position i'll
which the administration stands, and that as
soon as the liberal men of the South get to
understand this they will be ready to join the
liberal movement. The whole South is ripe
for it to day. In some States, in Alabama,
the people are waiting for leader. In others
they are waiting for a declaration from the
President. In others, as in Tennessee, they
are organizing for victory"

GOV. CORNELL's MESSAGE.
The Canal Problem, as Affected by Mis-
sIssippi River Improvement.

ALBANY, January 1.-THE senate met at
noon and Governor Cornell sent in his mes
sage. 1t opens with an allusion TO the ma
tional grief at the wicked assassination of
the president and the universal expression OF
sympathy from every quarter. The finances
are in prospering condition. Under the
head of canals the governor says: THE
completion of railways, the enlargement of
the Canadian canals and the development of
the Mississippi river route are important
considerations with reference to the future
capacity of the canals to earn the necessary
revenue for their maintenance. If, added to
these, there should be smaller foreign de-
mand tor breadstuffs, or a reduced produc-
ton in the Western States, it is plain to be
seen that, under the present constitutional
amendment on canal expenditures, the use
fulness OF the canals may be seriously i'm
periled, if not entirely suspended, until re-
lief be secured through the amendment of
the constitution. In view of the time re-
quired for this process, your consideration of
an amendment is respectfully suggested"
The other points touched upon are, in
substance, follows: All sales of
oleomargaripe as butter should be prevented;
there should be fair and just regulation of
freight traffic, and some measure devised
which shall afford needed relief to the
patrons of railroads, and at the same time
not impose unreasonable burdens on corpora
tions. A careful amendment of the laws
now in force concerning imprisonment for
debt is suggested. Attention is called to the
inadequacy of the excise laws and the neces-
sity of effective amendments thereto. The
governor hopes the consideration of the sub
ject of an International exposition will be
renewed for later date. The modification
of the usury laws of the State, at least SO far
as relates to demands, is referred to as a
means of preventing unusual commission
for money in addition to legal interest.
The bribery of voters is sternly rebuked, and
biennial sessions of the Legislature advc-
Gated.
The House only cast one vote for speaker,
with the following result: Patterson So,
Alvord 5S, CASTILLO 5; necessary TO choice,
81. The Tammany delegates cast Castello's
vote. Adjourned until tomorrow.

Southern Trade in Cincinnatf.

CINCINNATI, January 1.-THE merchants
of this city are finding collections slow in
certain portions of the South, and some OF
the travelling statesmen who were assigned to
that region will be Withdrawn. A larger
trade has been done by Cincinnati in the
Southern States during the past few months
than ever before, and there was a DISPOSE
ton to push it to the furthest limit. The
entire South has been considered as tribu-
tary to this market, and the ambition has
b,en nursed OF making the trade of several
States the possession of Cincinnati to a de-
gree which, if realized, would excite mach
jealousy in all the cities aspiring TO do bust
mass in that region. 1t is just possible that
the work of pushing Cincinnati goods
through the South has been a little
overdone. No firms have been en-
barrassed on account of it. There
are houses which hold great
deal of Southern paper that they would like
to get cashed. ave prefer TO cry over our
goods while lying on our shelves" said a
merchant to-day, than to have them scat
tered over Texas and unpaid for" The hol-
iday season is the settling time for the year
in the South, and to find collections difficult
Just now means that money is scarce in
the region, and creditors must wait
for most of their money longer
than was their expectation. Prominent
business men say that the present trouble
will not deter Cincinnati from capturing the
Southern trade but more caution will be ex-
ercised in the future, and for time some
statesmen travelling in that region will be
Withdrawn. The States in which collections
are reported as the hardest to make are
Georgia and Texas.

A STORMY SCENE.
Exciting Riot in a Kentucky Court.
ROOm-BloOdshed Only Arerted
by The Personal
Bravery OF the Judge. Who Leaves the
Bench and Assists in Quelling
the Disturbance.

LOUISVILLE, January IA special to the
C0urier-JoUnai from Mount Vernon, Ken
lucky, says: This little village, u-ually so
quiet, was to-day the scene of wild and
tumultuous, but bloodless riot The Circuit
Court was in session, 4. o. Bradley sitting as
special Judge. The cause OF the common
wealth against Robert Randall, for murder,
was on trial, and witnesses were testifying.
John Mullins, witness in the case, who had
been placed under rule, came into the court
room in an intoxicated condition, and was
leaning against the bar. Judge Bradley
spoke to him, asking him if he was not a
witness, and upon his reply in the afirma-
tive, asked him what he was doing in the
courtroom. Mullins responded that he was
standing here" he reckoned. "Fine him
SO, Mr.. Clerk" said the Judge. Mullins
made another insulting remark, and another
fine of SO was entered against him; another
insulting remark was followed by an order
from the Court to the jailer to take Mullins
into custody. Mullins then ran out
of the court room, followed by the taller and
two deputy sheriff., who pursued him some
little distance out of town, when he turned
and fired several shots at them. The two
sheritfs fired, but no one was hit. After
short chase Mullins was captured and
brought to the courtroom by a posse. He
was accompanied by his father, Champ Null
Inns, who was also intoxicated. John Null
lins was ordered to Jail by Judge Bradley.
whereupon he and his father both arose and
declared he should not be taken to jail,
Champ is one OF the most powerful men,
physically, in the county, and it takes half a
dozen ordinary men to hold HIM. When the
jailor and posse started with John to Jail, the
prisoner and his father resisted. The large
crowd in the courtroom broke into
the widest disorder. Men were knocked
down, pistols drawn, guards rushed
in with shotguns, and the rush for doors and
windows was tremendous The Mullinses and
the officers fought their way out of the court
room and down stairs into the street. When
they reached the street some one gave John
Mullins pistol with which he fired two
shots, in what direction is not known. Both
men were finally arrested and placed in Jail,
where they now are. The excitement was at
fever heat for a while, and everybody
breahed freely when quiet was restored
The closest search failed to discover any
corpse. As soon as the disorder began Judge
Bradley left the bench and shouted: Il call
on every man in this house to help arrest
these men, and | will assist myself" and he
did lend such assistance as he could. The
jury in the Randall case were scattered in
the confused crowd, and after the restoration
of quiet, by agreement of both sides, they
were discharged from further consideration
of the case, and the trial was continued till
the rext term. The day was the most dis
graceful in our county's history, and good
citizens should now rally to the support of
law, and see that nothing like il occurs
again.

ANENT the general grumbling by the Dem
ocrats of the House as to the makeup of the
standing committees appointed by Speaker
Keller, the Washington Capital reminds us
that "the Democratic party has been organ
izing the House to suit itself for several
years, and all the d. ID. S. distinguished
Democratic statesmen were pleased. Else,
had the American people been pleased, why
did it happen that the Democratic majority
of seventy in 1874 became of fifteen in 1876,
of seven in 1873, and no majority at all-but
quite the reverse-in 1880. This is a conun-
drum. We have heard it before, but it is
still good. We commend the thought to the.
d. ID. S. who walls in the He, aid, and to all
other d. d. S. who may be waillng elsewhere.
As we understand it, they are all in state

PINERo's comedy, The Squire, is the mos;
successful play produced in London this year
and is increasing in public favor, notwith-
standing the charge that it is an adaptation
of Hardy's Madding CroWd. The Aheneun
declares, if evidence of Pinero's borrowings
from Hardy be rejected, no charge of pla-
giarism in any case can ever be substan.
tiated. The matter is made worse for
Pinero, says the London correspondent OF
the New York Tribune, and the managers OF
the st. james theater, by the tact that a
previous dramatization of the novel by
Hardy and Comyns Carr was accepted a year
ago by Mr.. Hare, and then declined on ac-
count of personal differences. 1t was in
tended to produce Hardy's play at the Court
theater, but the m anager now says it is i'm
possible to do so because Pinero's play re-
ssmbles Hardy's so closely. Hardy and Carr
are arranging for the produeaion of the gen.
uine play in New York.

AT the July meeting of the board of
directors of the American Agricultural
Association a resolution was unani-
nlously adopted in favor of holding ma
tional agricultural fair during the year 1882
at some central point in the United State 5.
A selection has not yet been made, as the
association is still waiting to ascertain which
city will do the most for the encouragement
of fair. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincin-
natl, Chicago and New York are each of
them DESTROYS of having it held within
their limits. Thus far Baltimore
has offered the best Inducements New
York is suggested because of its
connections with the Old World, and ought
to be the place. The Royal Agricultural
Society of England holds annual fairs at
different points, and they are recognized as
the most interesting and valuable of her
public enterprises. The St. Louis fair in
this country is largely patronized, and is a
great success. 1t is believed that even better
results might be secured by National Ag-
ricultural Fair, held at the metropolis of the
country. 1t is hoped that the experiment
may be tried.
