that Major John n. Edwards, the vivid ed

self as possible candidate for the next
Governorship of Missouri. We desire to
put ourself on record early in the action in

and this not because he would make q bet

in Tennessee, to prevent paralysis of
the governmental agent. He with.
holds the sentence Of the fine to the
fall amount of the JUDGMENT, distrib.

be passed, if there is any further DISC
Incidence of the writ by the justices for
their successors. This is a test case,
and there are other judgements to a

A SENSATIONAL STORY.
Kidnapped in Nashville and Taken TO
New Mexico.

The following very improbable sto>
ry we fad as special to the Nash
vile American. 1t is basely possible
that it is true; but thinking men will
believe that the Reverend Mr.. Oliver
was crazy, or worse. We hope he
was not worse.
Columbia, Jan. 26.-Rev. r. B.
Oliver, the Cumberland Presbyterian
preacher and member of the firm of
Oliver d Goodloe, of Mount Pleasant,
who mysteriously disappeared from
there Dec. Is, and was believed by
his wife to be dead, has at last heen
heard from. | learn he writes from
New Mexico to this effect, that he
was knocked down in Nashville in the
rear of the Cumberland Publishing
house and dragged to the river by two
men, placed in skitf, and taken thus
through the waters of the Cumber>
land, Ohio and across the Mississippi,
and from thence by a covered Exs
press wagon into new Mexico, addi-
tions on the route being made to the
gang. When about fifty miles beyond
Sante Fe, he was surrounded by u
gang, and his death momentarily ex-
pected. One of the gang remarked,
This is not the man." He was then
given IA pistol, but no cartridges, and
the driver of the wagon was ordered
to take him back to Sante Fe; but
they failed to give him back the S120
taken from him. On the way back
horseman, acting as guard, decided to
ride to Sante Fem advance. BY him
Oliver sends his letter to his friends
here, asking for money to help him
home. The money was forwarded to
him by telegraph yesterday. His let
ter creates the impression here that if
there is any truth in the statement
that the parties were portion of the
James gang, and that their supposed
victim was w. j. Overton, deputy
United States marshal, who was press.
ing the outlaws so closely. Many
discredit the affair, the final result Of
which l will give you due and timely
notice
In an interview later with Deputy
Marshal Overton learn Oliver left
here with between $500 and $3.50 in
money belonging to other parties.
This is further substantiated by rel
alive Of Oliver. Overton says the
James gang don't work for such small
amounts.

The United States circuit court in
Memphis, last Friday, rendered
very important decision in the case of
the United States on relation of Lu-
cinda Webb VS. the justices of Lauder
dale county, Judge Shelby Hammond
delivering the opinion. The plaintiff
received a judgment against the coun-
ty for S28, 1000 on bonds issued In aid
of the old Memphis IL Paducah rail-
way, which was affirmed by the SUI.
preme court of the United States. A
peremptory mandamus was issued, re.
curing the county court to levy tax
to pay it, and the justices all resigned
to evade obedience to the writ. They
were arraigned for contempt, on the
ground that, Notwithstanding the
designations, they were still in office,
and bound to obey, because the cons
stltutlon OF tennessee provides that
every officer shall hold his office until
his successor is elected or appointed
and qualified. The statutes require
that the sheriff, when Justice of the
peace resigns, shall hold an election
TO fill the vacancy in ten days, and
the sheriff has never held the election
because the people of the county de.
termlned not to pay the subscription,
claiming that the bonds are void, as
the railway did not build the road.
Judge Hammond decides that under
the constitution no officer in Tennes>
see can abandon his office until his sues
cessor is qualified. He may resign so
as 10 create vacancy, but until his
successor is qualified, the resigning
officer must continue in the discharge
of his duties. This was the rule of

rhe Nashville Banner unfinished

The Nashville Banner published
last week an editorial which, if prin.
ted several weeks sooner, would have
done much more good Speaking of
the smallpox scare, it says: 1T exists
at three or four points in Tennessee.
but is not spreading at all. In each
case 1t was communicated by the ir>
represslble tramp. One, negro,
gave it to the Milan country. An.
other from Nevada gave it to the peo-
pie of Graveston, while still another
brought it TO Chattanooga. But he
was cut off in his mad career without
spreading it. Ii we could keep out
tramps, we never more would hear of
it in Tennessee. In fact, we do not
believe it is the thing it is cracked up
to be anyhow. The papers like sensa,
tionalism, and it suits them to spread
it. Since Gar6eld's death the agents
of the Western Union Press Ass0cia-
are put to it for something to write
about, so they take up smallpox. The
National Board of Hea th has declar-
ed it epidemic, and, while we do not
charge them with any selfish purpose
in the matter, 1T suits them admirably
now, while Congress is in session, to
secure continuance of their existence
and a handsome appropriation. The
Secretary of the State Board has been
so impressed with the belief that it is
overrated in other States, he has adj
dressed letter to the Secretaries of
every State Board of Health in the
Union to ascertain the true state of
the case. We believe he will find
out it is more Cf panic than fact.
Indeed, if it was as bad us represen,
ted, it could be completely checked
with the death OF the cranks who now
have it, for no one else than crank
will allow himself to contract such a
horrible disorder when it can he, pre-
vented by such simple precaution as
vaccination. Even if there were no
smallpox in thousand miles, this is
no excuse for failing to vaccinate,
for no one knows in these days of rap.
id transit when we may push up
against tramp with it. Then let
each and every person vaccinate and
all danger is at an end" We are glad
to see the Banner coming around to
our way of thinking, and hope the
managing editor will keep an eye on
the headline crank of that paper i'll
future, go that the editorial page and
news department will "Jingle."

Merit Rewarded,

The ladies of st. Andrews church realized
about 5000 from their recent fair and lunch at
Willard hall. This result was only6 accom-!
plished by the indefatigabe energy of the
ladies who undertook the enterprise. 1t is no
wonder that the Rev. j. B. Perry rector, has
been so remarkably successful in building up
st. Andrews parish with so efficient and
praiseworthy a corps of ladies to aid him. The
congregation hope they will soon see their
way clear to provide larger accommodations
for the public to hear their deservedly-popu-
lar rector. The hosts of friends who voted
for the award of the silver tea service to Mrs.
George f. Davis had the great pleasure of con-
graduating her upon getting more votes than
all other candidates combined.

The Work to Commence soon-Question M
to Continuation OF the Seventeenth Street
Sewer.
The work of driving the piles for the rail-
way on which the eXcavated material from
the Potomac flats is to be removed did not
commence yesterday as was anticipated, ow-
ing TO the non-arrival of the piles Mr.. San
ford, the representative of Contractor Ross,
says they have quantity of them in the
lower part of the river, and that they will
probably ship them here by rail without wait
ing for water transportation. As soon as they
arrive the work of driving will commence
and if the weather holds good it can be COM
pleted in thirty days. About half mile
Of railway will be built at the foot of
Seventeenth street, and about the same
length below the Long bridge, but this
can be finished in about q month.
Until this railway is built and the cars placed
thereon no actual dredging operations can be
undertaken. Dredging machines are being
fitted up in jersey City, and when finished
will be brought here. 1t is the belief of Mai
Hains that when the work is once commenced
it will be vigorously prosecuted by the con-
tractor. When the filling of the flats COM
menccs, the outlet of the Seventeenth street
sewer will become choked, unless the arch is
continued to the channel or some other out
let is provided and the question as to
whether the United States is wholly respon-
sible for continuing this sewer or whether
the district is TO pay one-half the expense has
been submitted to the chief engineer by Mai.
