OF INTEREST TO LAWYERS
 AND OFFICE SEEKERS.

Lucinda Wa.b, recovered judgement
 in the United States circuit court at
 Memphis, Tenn, for $2S.000 against
 Lauderdale county, on bonds issued by
 the county in aid of the Memphis and
 Paducah railroad. The case was car .
 ried to the supreme court. and judgment affirmed. Plaintiff applied to the court
 for mandamus. Judge Shelby Ham
 mond presiding, on the 27th of Janua-
 ry, the court issued peremptory man damus requiring the county court to levy tax to pay the judgement. To evade obeyance to the writ, all the members of the county court resigned. The court had them brought before him for contempt, upon the ground that they were still officers notwithstanding their resignations.
 The constitution of Tenn, provides that all officers, &c., shall hold their respective offices until their successors are elected or appointed and qualified. The court held that under the constitu- ton of Tenn. no officer could abandon his office until his successor was quali- fed. That he might resign so as to cre- ate vacancy sub modo, so as to author ize the appointing power or electors to supply the succession, but that he must discharge the duties of his office until his successor is qualified. That this was a rule of common law restored in Tenn, by the constitution to prevent paralysis of governmental agencies. The justices were fined in the full amount of the judgment, but withholds the sentence until a given time, to af- ford opportunity for chem to levy the tax. We have substantially the same law in this state. Our constitution also provides that members of the general assembly shall not hold any other office for and during the term for and to which they were elected, &c. Now the question is, can n member of the gen eral assembly be elected to any other office during his term, until his success or is elected and qualified, notwith- standing his resignation and would not his additional election to some other office be void?
 Their term of office does not expire 1t the same time other terms do.

Mir. Tilden has beenmucl

Recently Mir. Tilden has beenmuch talked of in reference to being the Dem- ocratic nominee of 1884.
 Some rumors have it that he desires the honor of renomination, that he be- lieves he can be elected, that he will remain in the office long enough to in- augurate one or two great reforms and then give place to the second man on the ticket by resigning. Thus he de- sires to be vindicated ia history, so that Mir. Tilden is reeled with age, broken down in health, unable to feed himself and almost entirely helpless. That he is unable to eat solid foods, and ly with him, and that his mind is seri- Ously affected.
 These rumors al belle the Sage of Gramercy Park.
 The editer of the Courier Journal, who Is the intimate friend of Mir. TiI- den, and knows whereof he speaks. fiatlY denies the current rumors of him. But says Mr. Tllden is in good health. He enjoys society, his books, his pie lures and paintings. Is thoroughly immersed in his own private business. He has more business than any man in N. Y, and superyises il all. That his counsel and his purse arc open 10 his party. He loves his country, is loyal to his party, and takes live interest in current affairs. But that un Ter no cir cumstances could he be induced to ac- cept the nomination Of 1884, or any other public position. Mir. Tilden is the greatest living statesman of to-day, and the only living man that would honor the presidency. He would be an honor to the office, and not the office an honor to him.

A tariff for revenue only has always
 been one Of the articles of faith in the
 democratic party. Practice has proven
 that tariff levied for revenue only, yields greater revenue from customs
 than high protective rates. The reve- nue derived from customs when our government levied for revenue only,
 was from 40 to GO per cent greater than
 when she levied protective rates. The Republican policy is tariff highly protective. This is but an ex- tortion on the poor, and extremely op- pressive too, for it is an exemption of capital and a tax levied on labor in fa- vor Of capital. 1t builds up a kind of s priviIiged class, sacred aristocracy detsstible to those who make preten- sions to be free. Here again put us dswn AS a democrat.
 To speak generally, every patriot ought to be a democrat. It is the friend of the poor and the oppressed, the only refuge of enlightened patriotism. Un- der democratic rule, this government moved on with such rapid strides of progression that the world locked on and wondered, she grew and flourished as no nation ever did before. Her mor- al and intellectual progress was no less perceptible than her material. The greatest statesmen and intellectual lights of the world were democrats. No legislation then that paralized in- dustries or discriminated in favor of classes. We had no millionaires. Now man is hardly considered wealthy unless he Is millionaire. This all re- suits from unwholesome and discrimi. hating legislation.
 It is job put up by the republican party. Under wholesome legislation men would not suddenly spring from paupers to millionaires. The repubi- can party has corrupted the morals of the country, stifled intellectual growth, has plundered the poor, enriched the rich He has betrayed the trust of the people, subverted liberty, and dishon- ored our national character. Has given away eur public domain to wealthy corporations, built up monopolies that defy the government itself. All his legislation ha, been to the favor of capitalists. monopolists, and railroad kings. In conclusion we would say, "He never robs from the loose super fuity of standing greatness; he de- yours the fallen, the indignant, the ne- ccssitous. His extortion is not like the generous rapacity of the princely eagle. who snatches away the living strug- gling prey; he is a vulture who feeds upon the prostrate, the dying. and tho dead !"

NEW CLASSIFICATION OF
 STATES.

"Old things have past away, and all things have become new" Henry Gannett, geographer of the tenth csn- sus, has revised the classification of states, dividing them into three great geographical divisions-the Atlantic, the Great Valley, and the Cordiileron regions. The states are classified by sections, naming the first Atlantic, sec ond Central, and third, the Western section. The Atlantic and Central sections are each subdivided, the first on Mason and Dixon's line, and the latter on the Ohio rive- and the south ern boundary of Missouri and Kansas. We are again put to our wits to know what part of the globe we occupy.

SMALL POX CURES.
RUssELLvILLE, ARK.

KUSSELLvILLE, ARK. Editor Russeliville Democrat:
 Please publish these cures as think they may prove valuable:
 CURES FOR SMALL Pox.
 A physlclan has recently in the course of his practice, come upon what he believes an1 uses as a spe. cific remedy for small pox. The rem edy is the bitartrate of potash, the common cream of tartar, two ounces desolved In boiling water, with juice of lemon and sugar added. Let the patient drink as much as he likes, but not less than a wine glass full every hour. twill purge but as it is perfectly harmless this will not matter, the remedy acting spe- officially on the virus the postules collapsing, leaving no pit, and per. feet cure following in short time.
 The following was sent to the Liv- erpool Mercury by Edward Aime: "I am willing to rish my reputation as a public man if the worst case of small pox cannot be cured in three days by the simple use of cream tar ter. One ounce of cream of tartar dissolved in pint of water drank at intervals when cold, is a certain, never failing remedy. It has cured hundreds, never leaves a mark never causes blindness, and avoids

MALT LIQUOR LICENSE.

The Attorney General, c. B, Moore, differs with us in the opinion expressed in our last issue, that the prolibtory V act of March 2lst 1881, did not inter- fere with the sale of malt liquors with with in prohibited limits. and that the pow CT of the County court to grant malt liquor license remained the same as ever. In response to an inquiry made by the Recorder of Russellville. for hls opinion with reference to the forcgo- ing, the attorney general writes as follows:
 In answer to your letter of .hs 22th inst, have to say: that where, under the act of March lst 1881, known as the "Three Mile Prolibitory Law" petition of majority of the adult in- babitants has been presented and the county Court has made the requisite order prohibiting the vending or giv- ing away of "spirituous or intoxica- ting liquors" within any prescribed Three mile limits" thereafter 1t shall be unwlawful for any person to vend or give away any spurious or in- toxicating liquors within the. limits aforesaid" These are the words of the act, and in my opinion they i'm clude in the prohibition ALL AND EVERY KIND OF "spirituous or intoxicating liq quors"-beer and every other kInd.
 The 9th section of the act repeals "all laws in conflict with the provisions of this act" Respectfully,
 c. B. MooRE,
 Atty General.
 The attorney general is a good law yer, and his opinion is worthy of res- pect; but still in due respect, we are inclined to think the courts will not adopt his views on this subject.

GENEALOGYO OF THE GREEN
 BACK PARTY.

In the zenith of power the republi- can party became extrayagant and cor rupt. Its organism thus constituted, naturally enough became pregnant with methods aiId schemes. During it's pregnancy continually had gnaw- ing aud insatiate craving for office and gain. In the fullness of time, in an attempted deliver, brought forth the first of the family of monstrosities of winch we are to speak.
 This little progeny was very dimin- utive in size, warped limbs and upon closeinspection was aseertained to be of the feminine gender and little crazed on finances.
 It come with its tongue lolled as if 1t wanted something. and the first time 1t was ever heard to cry, it cried for OFFICE. That it's tribe might be sug- gested by it's name, the republicans called this little darling-Silly. Silly was the mother of Folly, who was brought to bed of a sen called Heresy, who married one of the daughters of Disappointment, by whom he had issue, and they called his name Green packer, afterwards ehristened Greenback Party. With vain aspirations this heretc youth has twice run for the presidency, but each time the people have looked into his percentage, and promptly rejected him. With all the vices without any of the virtues of his first ancestor, he vies with prodigality in extravaganza.
 He contracts debts and pledges his honor to pay. At the appointed time his creditors seek him. He tenders them, and insists that it is payment in full and receivable for all demands, the following, we'll he calls it green back or fiat, which reads as follows:
