NO SCRATCHING.

There should be no scratching, no barter
ing or trading, and no swapping of votes
on Tuesday next. The coalition organized
against the sixty-and-six settlement will
sweep the county, and there should be a
solid vote cast for Bate, Young, Porter, Gal
lowsy, Patterson, Kelly, Wendell, Price and
Norris. Every man will be elected if their
friends remain steadfast and true. Every
candidate is entitled to the party vote. To
barter and tide is folly when the entire
ticket can be easily elected by a faithful
adherence 10 the same. 1t should be
made an especial point to see that the two
colored candidates poll the entire strength OF
The party. It is better for them to run
ahead than behind the ticket, for if they
should be sacrificed, the whites would be
charged with treachery, and he result
would intensity instead of obliterating race
prejudices, as intended. We have nothing to
gain, much to lose, by swapping, bartering
and trading. 1t is the sheerest folly for
the party certain of victory to barter and
trade. We have the majority, we nave the
best ticket, and we have the right, and let
US stand square aud vote solid for every
man ON the ticket. Let all work from now
until the closing of the polls for the success
of the whole ticket. The victory must not
be marred by the defeat of a single man.

WASHINGTON, November SIN the So
teldo CAGE to-day the defense offered to show
by Gen. Eoynton that Barton was not the OBJ
iect of A. NJ. Soteldo's animosity, but that as
Soteldo was the FIRST to make public the Star
route matter, which reflected on the person
who controlled the Republican, the publica.
ton rejecting on Soteldo came out as q mat
ter of retribuIion.
The Court declined 10 admit the evidence,
and the defense announced their case closed.
The government called several witnesses in
rebuttal, but nothing of importance was
ELECTED.
John Lyons, the partner OF Soteldo in the
Lyon Heuse, testified to the business relations
with the deceased.
The government closed its case here, and
the prosecution offered the usual prayers.
Mr.. Taggart opened for the government,
claiming that q clear case of guilt against A.
C. Soteldo had been proven.
Upon the reconvening OF the court at the
expiration of the recess, Mitchell, of counsel
for the defense, addressed the jury on behalf
of the prisoner.
Upon the conclusion of Mitchell's address
there was . slight demonstration of applause,
aud Mr.. James A. Burdette, one of the
audience, being brought before the bar, adj
mitted that he had participated in the
demonstration. Judge Wylie thereupon Sc
verely reprimanded Burdette, andfordered
him confined until 10 O'Clock tomorrow. The

marked that if the parties INDUCING therein
could be produced and identified they would
be visited by q severer penalty than that

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
BORROWING A CANDIDATE.

The boilers of Shelby county are 20 pressed
for material out Of which TO make Sky-blue
candidates for the Legislature, that they are
compelled to borrow a citizen of Dyer
county to complete their legislative ticket,
as will be seen from the following commune
cation:
DYERsBURG, November ], 1882.
EDITORs APFEAL-DOubtless your attention has
been called TO the fact that Col. T. Z. Riehardson,
who is a candidate for the Legislature on the Fus-
sell ticket 10 your county, is not a citizen OF Shelby
but a citizen of Dyer. His name is the second
recorded in the pOn-books at THIS precinct last
August at the county election. The 9Th section
OF the constitution requires that a representative
TO he eligible to office must be a citizen OF the
county he represents twelve months Immediately
preceding the time of his election. UPTON
In a law suit about the borrowed kettle
the plan was: First, the kettle was never
borrowed; second, it was cracked when Dor
rowed; third, it was perfectly sound when
returned. II the Democracy Of Dyer should
cue for the damage done the borrowed can
didate the boilers would no doubt put in a
similar plea. II does not conosrn the peo-
pie of Shelby county in the least whether
Col. T. E. Richardson is a citizen OF Dyer,
Shelby or Kantschatka, as there is not a re-
mote possibility OF anybody contesting his
seat in the next Legislature. The boilers
seem to take a delicious delight in wasting
their sweetness on the desert air. They
throw their votes away on RUSSELL and then
throw away another by voting for an hon.
ored citizen of Dyer county TO represent
Shelby In The next State Legislature. All this
Is done for ~pe-rin-ci-ple and State honah.

REVISION THAT WILL o REVISE.
People are beginning TO ask what will be
the outcome from the Tariff Commission that
has been travelling around the country and dis
covering how many that are protected" are
crying out in eager tones for more, more
The commission was got up, not for what it
could do, but as a means of delaying tariff
changes that the people require. Delay has
been gained, but the very fact of the commits
sion going from city to city has helped to
draw greater attention to the tariff and in
crease the demand for its revision. The mo-
%nopolists i~mpudentlY claim more taxes and
heavier duties. The people require that the
great cutting down that has TO be accom-
plished shall begin al once. Little has been
heard as to the course The commission
will recommend to Congress, and that little
ID to the effect that few changes will
be advocated except an abandonment OF the
compound system of laying on duties. The
commissioner appear, on the whole, to find
the tariff as it stands we'll enough, and TO be
willing 'to let we'll enough alone" Such is
certainly not the view of those whose agita-
ton of the question caused the appointment
of the commission. If the commission think
the people will be satisfied with changing a
little of the burden lhat is on the right
shoulder to the left, and a little on the left
to the right, they will find they are mis-
taken, for such manipulation would end in
the burden still lying as heavy and injurious
as before. No radical or important changes,
We are told, will be Recommendations a
little increase here and q slight de-
crease there. Some changes in method,
in invoices, clearing, and SO on, will
be proposed as a show, but no relief to |
The people, no cessation OF the policy that !
makes "the rich richer and the poor poorer"
The commission was appointed for the pur-
pose OF putting off what the m~onopolists |
call the evil day, and it appears they intend
TO discharge that part of their apportioned |
task. There is one consolation in this, and |
That is that delay, or changes that bring no |
relief, will be as dams raising high the !

AYERS AGUE CURE.

Only used in AYERS AGUE CURE, has
proven itself a never failing and rapid
cure for every form of Malarial Dis
order, Fever and Ague, or Chills and

its effects are permanent. 1t rouses
the system to a condition of vigorous
health, cleanses the blood of malarial
poison, and imparts a feeling of COM
fort and security most desirable in
Ague districts. 1t is an excellent tonic
and preventative, as well as cure, of
all complaints peculiar to m~alarious,
marshy and miasmatic regions. The
great superiority of AYERS AGUE CURE
over any other compound is that it
contains no Quinine, Arsenic, or min
eral; consequently it produces no
quinism or injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had
never had the disease.

New YORK, November 3 = Inspector
Jewett, of the Brooklyn police force, has
been engaged on a murder Gaze which
was rather mysterious. John Leonard, a
GARDINER, WAS killed, and John Kenny,
a bill-poster, was suspected of the crime.
Kenny's pistol could not be found. This,
says the New York Star, worried Inspec-
tor JeWett so much that when be went to
bed on Tuesday night he fell asleep and
dreamed of the weapon. SiDgularly enough
he dreamed that the pistol was con-
cealed in a closet in Bernard McGrath's
saloon, at the corner of Fulton street and
Fslton Place, which Kenny is known 10
have frequented. The dream had such an
impression on the inspector that on Wednes-
day afternoon he vent with two of his officers
and a plumber to search in the pace. Kenny
had been known to have been In McGrath's
between l and 1:30 O'Clock on Tuesday
morning. The plumber was set to work
to ascertain if the pistol had been thrown
into the sewer, and he was engaged in
tearing up the plumbing while the Inspector
and his men were searching in the hooks
and ~crannies Of the woodwork in the saloon.
The closet was ventilated by a fanlight over
the doorway, and this had been partially
tipped back. The inspector felt carefully
back of the fanlight, and his fingers came in
contact with something that seemed to feel
like a pistol. He drew the object out and
found that it was a four-bsrreled pistol, the
same weapon for which he had been 80 anx-
iousiy searching.

A Shocking Case of Rape, Incest and
Suicide

McKEEsPoRT, PA, November S.-A most
shocking case OF rape, incest and suicide has
been developed here. In August last Ed
ward Coulson married a Miss Jenkins, and
shortly afterward Julia CrAwford made a
charge against him of rape. Coulson sue
ceeded in persuading her TO let the matter
drop. LAST Saturday Coulson's sister, aged
twenty years, preferred a charge against him
OF fornication and bastardy. When Couison
heard OF this he was shaving himself, and
when, in answer to his query, his wife told
him Whist was the matter, he grabbed his
razor and ran out Of the house, ard was
never again seen alive. His body WAS found
fosting in the river this morning. To day
his sister gave birth 10 a child. The desola-
ton which the villain has caused cannot be
computed, but the hate OF relatives and ac-
%quaintances can be imagined from the fact
that ten hours at least since the body was
found it sill lies uncared for in the mud at
the rivers edge, the sun beating upon the
loathsome and di.colored form, and the
waves washing about his feet.
