THE Chicago Tribune aud the Cincinnati
Commercial a.e anxious to put premium on
assassination and the violation of the plain
est and simplest duties Of the soldier. They
want the President to release Sergeant Ma
son, who tried to kill the murderer Guiteau,
aud have encouraged the raising of fund
for his support. The Tribune says there was
no malice in Mason's act. Mason. admitted
ia court that he shot at Guiteau aSd in
tended to kill hun. Ii that does not consti-
tute msliee will our cotemporary inform us
what does constitute ii? But the Tribune
and the Commercial are, we are glad to be
able TO say, almost alone in this crusade
against Law and justice. A majority OF the
press is opposed to it. The Boston 1idHs-
c,spt remarks that "Mason, the sergesnt of
the guard over Guitesu, who proved recreant
to his trust aud attempted to kill the man
he was set to watch, was guilty of the worst
OF crimes a soldier or citizen could COM
init, aud the President canno. recoguizs the
foolish petitions sent in his behalf without
inhictiug serious injury upon pub
lie morals" Speaking in the same
spirit the New York Epeniag Pos. says;
"If there be any value in faithiulness
to trusts, in the sanctity of an OATH in the
obligation OF service voluntarily undertaken,
Mason dill a far worse thing than man in
the streets who tried to lynch Guiteau would
have done. He did nearly the basest thing
a soldier can do. Once propagate The Mason
way Of looking al duty, and We shall have
an army Of oranks, who will not always
shoot at the man who deserves death, or
proves false to obligations which are Of but
little Importance to the community" The
resolutions of State legislatures in Mason's
behalf are an insult to the spirit of law and
order under which civilized communities
agree to abide, disgrace to the country
aud warning of dangerously low and Whit
fling ideals of morality among us. The
effects Of all this are already seen in the ia
natical spirit they have encouraged in some
parts Of the West, where whole communities
are signing petitions for the ardon of Ma
son, and where, because the Rev. S S. Nc
Mahon, of Rising Sun, Ind. was the only
man in the place VI no refused 10 sign, the
sentiment against him IL 30 strong that lie
may have to give up his church.

TENNESSEE POLITICS.

The Banner is using all its power and
strength to keep up the split in the Demo-
cratic party. Only let the conservative and
progressive Democracy meet and adopt a
platform, and we propose to wager a ginger
cake that the Banner viii hop on to that
platform and declare it has been there for
several months past.-Nashuiae World.
The American waits until "the old re-
liable" Memphis APFEAL speaks on the
olive branch, and then republishes its opin-
lens of the hypocritical tender Of harmony
made by the low-tax committee, and falls
into line with leader. Verify, this is doing a
great deal for harmony. Is the APPEAL TO
be the guide? Is Memphis to run Tennessee
politics-into the ground.-Nashuile Banner.
The Huntington Republican understands
that there will be three aspirants for the
nomination for governor by the Republican
State convention-'R. r. Butler, of East
Tennessee; II. II. Harrison, Of Middle Ten
nessee; aud his excellency, Alvin Hawkins,
of West Tennessee" The Republican says ii
is 'ot the opinion that Governor Hawkins
would receive at least 10000 votes more than
either Mr.. Harrison or Mr.. Butler"
The Tennessee Republican, patent inside
sheet, has made its appearance at Nashville
as the official organ OF the State Its editor
modestly apologies as follows: "The
imperative necessity for a Republi-
can organ at the capital Of Tennessee is
patent TO every one. Ne party, however
noble and jealous its advocates and follow
ers, can successfully diffuse knowledge Of
those principles, without the aid of the press
devoted exclusively to that purpose and OBJ
ject. In this day of enlightenment and
progress, the press is the great Archimed dian
lever that moves the world
The party that fixes its basis of settlement
in the next campaign in plain and unequivo-
cal terms, is the party that will win, and
that will be the Democratic party. Gov
ernor Marks wanted in his platform "tqui-
table adjustment" and this suited every
body, because every man had his notions as
to the meaning of equitable adjustment.
Under this platform nothing was ever done,
and a few Democrats who advocated this
platform are now clamorous for settlement
which shall come as result OF negotiation
This is evually uncertain, and Tennesseeans
debt-paying Tennesseean are tired of this
namby- bamby business, and they want, moi
to waive or postpone the payment of the
state debt, but to pay such portion as they
can, and this will be the sentiment of the
next Democratic convention. = NashUiH

MULLER SAYS:

/ came down the river in a skiff' last night
from Strattman's plantation; his place is
above here, fifteen or sixteen miles, between
Harris and Bradley; he has wood and coal
yard here in town; left because / had TO
sleep since Monday in the same room with
dead man; his name was Otto; l don't know
his last name; lie was a German; he has
been on the place for four or five months;
think Strattmsn owed him money; know
that Otto had some live stock on the place
some cattle and hogs; Sunday a negro, sent
by Strattman, came to the place, suppose
to work; Monday evening Otto died he was
sick only few hours think he had con-
gestive chill, but am not doctor enough to
know; l started the negro to town to tell
Strattman to send coffin and provide for
the burial of the dead man, as there is no
land out near us, except ridge, the owner
of which refused permission to inter the body
there, as, the field being a part of
the farm, he did not wish to desc
crate grave by blowing over it;
Strait man sent word to "pick up
some lumber, make a box and bury him
up, and no place to bury the body. | stood
it until Wednesday; slept, or stayed, two
nights and days with the dead body; / then
came to Memphis; got here last night, as
have told you. / had to remain in the same
room with poor dead Otto, because we had
only the one apartment fit for any one to
stay in.
MULLER's STORY,
though told in broken English, appeared to
be made up of facts. Asked if he had any
ill-will toward Strattman, he answered no;
that the relations between them were
friendly. If Mr.. Strattman, who is well
known in the city, has been willfully guilty
of such an outrage as this, the sooner he
commits to memory the golden rule the bet
ter it will be for his conscience. Muller is at
present stopping at Mr.. Lindeman's Hotel, on
Washington street.
