z SHORTS DEFEATED,

THE JULY SHORTS DEFEATED,
Judge Gardner, of the superior court,
rendered a decision in the celebrated board
of trade cases to-day denying the relief of
the July shorts and dismissing the tempo
rary injunction granted by the circuit
court. The ground for the decision was a
want of jurisdiction to interfere with the
rules governing the operations of the
board of trade, and directing the petition
ers to court of law for their remedy, it
chancery. The court room was
filled with the elite of the bar
of the city and members of the board in
Guiding the defaultlng shorts, who looked
blue enough after the import of the ruling
of the court became evident. At the con-
clusion of the reading of the decision the
principal attorney for the. board, Judge
Lawrence, fled suggestions of damages,
stating that only lawyers fees would be
charged. These damages were fixed at
$1,000, and will be divided up among the
twenty three cases. Counsel for COM
plainants declined to amend, and
prayed an appeal. The question

that the fraudulent work was done at the
order of Councilman Rowan. The accused
were held in 81 GOO bail.

A MOE LITTLE SCHEME


New York, September 27.-The founda-
ton for the talk about W. II. Vanderbilts
advancing United States bonds to ease the
money market, is that bank offered to bor-
row from Vanderbilt S10,0O0,000 United
States four per cent. bonds which he holds,
advancing thereon the full market price OF
the bonds, or about $l2,000,000, and charg-
ing him for money so advanced low rate OF
interest. 1t is understood this offer OF the
bank was part OF a scheme to have United
States internal revenue receipts deposited / n
the bank, which would give bonds borrowed
from Vanderbilt to the government 80 secu-
rity for internal revenue receipts, or govern
ment money thus left with it. Two pur
poses would be served by the opera
lion; the first would be that money
instead OF being locked up in the treasury,
would be diverted from Its way TO the treas
ury to the national banks, WHARF 1t could be
lent in market; and the other, which would
concern the bank alone, would be the profits
which il could make BY lending government
deposits. The Erenin9 Post says: sour un-
derstanding is that Vanderbilt declined to
lend his bonds, which are ali registered in
his name, and that the scheme has been
abandoned" The following paragraph finds
publication: at isreporled Secretary Folger
stated this morning that the governments
would take such action would be necessary
to maintain ease in the money market
When he returns 10 Washington he intends
to look into the matter very thoroughly, and
if the law will permit he will recommend
that the government shall loan money 10
banks and take bonds Tor security.

NEWMAN sMYTHE
Triumphs over Dogma and sill As
serts MS Raiionalistic Faith.

The result of the examination of the Rev.
DIR. Newman Smythe by church council at
New Haven on Wednesday must have been
especially gratifying to liberal Christians.
Not very long ago DR.. Smythe failed OF se-
curing professorship in Andovsr Thsologl-
col Seminary, ostensibly, because of hiselceu-
tionary methods, but in reality on account OF
his progressive views. Now that he has, by
a vote OF thirty-three to one, passed the
council, those Of the Andover trustees who
voted for his appointment may justly con-
slider themselves fully vindicsted. There is
no Improbable difference between the views
which he now holds and those which he pro-
fe.sed at that time. He believes that The
nation is progressive" as we'll as the Church.
He affirms that Elm is alienation from God, !"
which statement marks his divergence from
the cid doctrine that God, not man, is the
alienated party. DIR. Smythe maintains that
Hthe sacred Scriptures are in part the record
and interpretation, in part the contents OF
the revelation from God, which Is fulfilled
in Christ" and it is evident that the theory
of verbal inspiration finds no adherent in
him. He holds his creed Subject al
ways 10 correction and expansion"
looks upon perfection IS a hum
bug" and utterly rejects "predestina-
lion in lis hi.h Calyinistic form" 1t would
be interesting to know how the present fac
ulty of Andover feel upon these questions.
Some OF the professors might prove as liber-
al as DR.. Smythe if an examination was
had. Certain it is that the cast-lron, rock
ribbed dogmas prescribed by the founders
are no longer taught at that seminary, and
ii is equally certain that the clergy, as well
as the laity, are better of, because OF the
change

..,o,EsomE,, SPEAKER.

How are the mighty falleni Two years
ago the Hon. John v. Wright was the Dem
ocratic nominee for governor, and favored "A
settlement of the State debt, individually,
on the basis proposed by the June Demo
cratic platform. He made a terrible war on
the boilers, and as he had often been nomi-
mated and elected to many offices as the NOM
inee of his party, he was a Democrat through
good and evil report, adhering to its princi-
pies, its organization and its ussges. When
two years ago he visited East Tennessee as
the nominee of his party, denouncing the
boilers and favoring settlement OF the
State debt on basis not higher than fifty
aud-four, he was Toasted, toasted and APP
plauded by large crowds of people. But

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS.
BY Universal Accord,

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
lions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant TO take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, viii
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic TO employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but effectual
cathartic is required.

shot. where il had been thrown by the sssss-

Leigh's wife, who came TO the assistance OF
her husband. She heard the report OF the
assassin's gun and her husbands call for
her TO bring him his pistol, which she
promptly did Leigh died shortly after be-
ing assassinated. Vernon White and his
father were arrested Saturday morning al

The two were permitted to go into the hotel
for the avowed purpose of getting their

GEN R.rE,a CANVASS.

When the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor refused to furnish the crowd for
Hawkins, Bessley and RUSSELL to address,
and TO engage in the unequal discussion, which
proposed TO array three against one, the
boilers and Republicans predicted that he
would have Lonesome" canvass, and that
the Hawkins combination would be greeted
by the popular masses and have jolly time
generally. But the canvass has been COM
pleted in East Tennessee, and the trio are
not satisfied with the cold reception they
have everywhere received. The combina-
ton consisted of three candidates for gov
ernor, but never in the political history OF
the State were three men greeted with such
freezing indifference. The people of East
Tennessee are proverbial for their hos
pitality, but they Jailed TO lavish it
upon a combination with which they
had no sympathy. Never did three
candidates for governor perform such clone
some" journey. On the contrary, Bate was
welcomed by the honest yeomanry OF the
hills and wales and the people Of every
village, town and city. Instead of being
lonesome" he had the company OF the pop
ular masses who were enthusiastic ia his
support. Gen. Bale has made brilliant
and effective canvass in East Tennessee
The tide in his favor in thst section of the
State is overwhelming. He has displayed
wonderful craftsmanship and ssgacity,
and is showing himself to be equal TO the
occasion. The enthusiasm which his can
vass inspires is not surprising, as his nomn-
alton was victory Of the people. In the
Convention that nominated him, the people,
for the first time in years, were there. man
aging their own affairs in person, unin-
fuenced by free passes and railroad at
torneys. They determined TO have platform
to suit themselves and to nominate can
didale worthy of the hearty support OF the
people, and they won the day, and they will
sweep the State on the 7th of November.
There mas never been a convention in this
State which was more thoroughly popular
in character, and more completely controlled
by the people than that which nominated
Gen. Bate for governor. He is a man Of the
people, and not the candidate of any ma
chine, faction or clique. He has the intel
lect to understand the duty OF the hour and
the independence and courage to perform it.
His nomination is the simple articulation OF
the peoples voice. 1t remains now for the
people, whose cause has been 30 wisely and
hopefully inaugurated, to organize for vic.
tory, and work until it is won.

CHARLESTON NEWS anu NOoA-cA@
The Republican policy in South Carohna
for the present campaign is now deveioPse.
1t is shrewdly conceived and will be boldly
carried ont. For the first time since their
overthrow in 1876 the party leaders turn 70
the beat account the political subserviency
of the negro and the unwilliugness OF Inc
white man to submit, for long together, 10
any sort of political constrain
There are probably 10000 more color
ed voters in South Carolina Than white
voters. The difference in the vote does not
exceed this, although large numbers OF
whites % we'll as of colored people nave
ab.tained from registering, and consequently
cannot vote at the approaching election
In two-thirds of the counties, we judge, there
lie a colored shortly. On the color line
which happily is not as broad and sharp a.
| formerly, the Republicans can com ana
powerful vote, and the whole OF this vote
| org auized by race, color and @deeF-dysf
| prejudice, they offer to any opponents OF tn'
| Democracy who will consent 10 receive II
| They expect 10 find among De.socratic mai
| coatents, whether styled Independents o.
| Grsenbackers, the qualities which they d.
not possess themselves. To divide IN
Democracy they can afford to surrende
nominally the political offices until the mex
election.
This is the explanation OF the indorsemen
of the Greenbsck candidates for State ottice
| BY the Republican Convention, and OF III
steadfast refusal 10 nominate any stralghou
Republican candidate for Congress excep
in the Black District, where the Democrat
| will make no nominations. 10 themselves
the Greenbackers count for little or nothing
1t is their jndorsement by the Republican
Convention which gives them importanc
and strength, while concealing from the DE
mocracy the magnitude of the danger. Vine
Republicans are pitted squarely a.gains
Democrats there is no doubt OF In
result. But there are no Republican
in the field, as such, in South Caro-
lima this year, and the Democrats be
have as though they expected TO have
walkov in November. The plain truth 4
that it will take hard work until the poll
close on election day to prevent the polItic'
miscegenationisis from electing three or lou
congressman, and, perhsps, majority OF In
members Of the Legislature.
The Democratic candidates for State ofhce
will be elected, we think, beyond douo
but there lie no certainty tb at the Democrac
will accomplish much more than this. Demo
cratic supremacy will not be maintained,
the magnitude of the opposition be unde
rated in the blissful fashion OF the times.
