The RE suit IN OHIO.

Ohio has gone Democratic by
twenty-five thousand majority. Out
of twenty-one Congressman, the
Democrats have fifteen, a g,in of
ten. The victory was overwhelm-
ing and sweeping and infuses new
life and spirits into the Democracy
of the north. The defeat of the Re-
publican party in d State where it
has long been conceded the ascen-
dency is a significant result and
must needs give great encourage
ment to the National Democracy
for the coming great struggle in
1884. The Enquirer says OF the re-
suit: at is a popular protest against
bad government; against misappro-
priatiOn and extravaganza in the
use OF public funds; against a per-
nicious system of perpetuating Of
fice-hOlders in office; against in
tolerance and demagogy.

THE FUNDING OPERATIONS.

The Nashville American says,
Col. NJ. Il. Polk, State Treasurer,
received telegram from COmptrol-
Ter Nolan last Monday stating that
six hundred and seventy thousand
dollars were funded last week, max
ing in all nearly eleven millions of
the old bonds.
This rapid funding of the old
bonds does not exactly cOmpOrt
with the arguments of the readjuster
leaders, that the settlement is i'm
practicable and will never be car
ried out on the part of the bond
holders. On the contrary, the
settlement is cheerfully accepted as
good and final by our creditors, as
is fully demonstrated by the readi-
ness and willingness with which
they are converting their old bonds
into the new 60-3-4-5-6 issue. There
is now no doubt in the world that
the bonds will all be funded by
January LIST next. This is a fair
and honorable settlement of this
vexed question and if you want it
to remain settled, vote for no man
for the Legislature who is in favor
of breaking it up.

Vernon White EKOnerated.

The Memphis Ledger has the fol-
lowing information concerning the
trial of young Vernon White,
charged with the assassination of
Mr.. Macon Leigh, a merchant at
Charleston, Miss, few weeks ago.
The friends of the young man in
this city will be pleased to hear
that he is not guilty of the heinous
crime of which he has been charged:
The mystery surrounding the
killing of Macon Leigh, the mer-
chant at Charleston, Miss, on
Thursday night of week before last,
grows more mysterious as time
passes. The unfortunate victim,
Mr.. Leigh, lived until Sunday eve-
ming, more than forty-eight hours
after being shot, and during the
time had not the slightest suspicion
that Vernon White, the son of the
Rev. Thomas Ward White, COM
mitted the deed. AT the prelimina-
ry examination, now going on at
Charleston, it appears that young
White could not have anything to
do with the tragedy. Three attOr-
neys were employed by the friends
of Mr.. Leigh to prosecute his assas-
sin. A man named Davis, who
was arrested, has been honorably
dismissed, and after weeks ex-
no proof has been dis
covered to implicate Mr.. Vernon
White. On the contrary, the at
torneys express themselves satisfied
of the entire innocence of the young
man, and declined most positively
to prosecute him further. In fact,
they have rendered their gratuitous
service in his defense. The coun-
sci for Mr.. White have sought to
place no obstacle in the way of
full investigation, as they feel as
sured of the entire innocence of
their client. The death of Mr..
Leigh is universally lamented, and
the friends of the deceased are do
ing their utmost to ascertain the
cause of his taking off and the par
ty or parties who did it. Mr.. Leigh
has relatives in this city.

EX-SENATOR BAILEY.
HIS Able Speech at Lebanon.

To the Banner.
LEBANON, October THE Hon.
Jas. E. Bailey spoke here to-day.
His audience, though not large,
was composed mainly of men of
high intelligence, who remained
quiet and attentive during his adj
dress. We seldom see as good at
tention paid a political speaker as
was given this noble expOunder of
Democratic principles. Feeling
that it would be impossible to do
the honorable gentleman anything
like justice by mere synopsis, and
being unable to give full report
from a lack OF time, we will only
say, the address was one of the
plainest and at the same time, most
profound that the people of Leba-
non have had the fortune to hear
for many day. Bate men with
whom 1 have since spoken on the
SUBJECT frankly admit it to be the
finest heard since the canvass OPEN
ed, and by directing his appeal sole
ly to reason and TO conscience, not
condescending to excite passion
and prejudice, / dare say he pro-
duced an impression at least which
they will not soon forget. Even
his enemies, after this exposition,
will find it difficult to muster
enough half-breed courage to immo-
late conscience and the eternal
principle of justice, honor and hon
esty for the paltry return of two
years. spells of Office and control of
In all, by his candid and outspo-
ken manner, he showed himself to
be man devoid of demagoguery, a
pure and honest statesman. Would

such meE. B. M. Y.

proud old State OF Tennessee, a

The policy of the Readjusters is
full of peril to the best interests of
Tennessee. They are fighting to
break up the present settlement,
with no idea or belief that their 5O-3
tender will be accepted. The whole
head and front of the movement is
a rapid, reckless stride towards re-
pudiatIon. The fatal heresy must
be scotched and killed at the ballot
box on the 18th of next month. Let
all Democrats work TO this end and
Tennessee will be saved.

JEALoUsY's VICTIMS.
The Green Eyed Monster the Cause of an At
tempted Murder and Suicide
From the Freeport Bulletin,


Sunday afternoon, August 30, James
Bird, of Warren, 10 Dayiess county,
prepared himself with revolver, and, in
company with another man whose name
we have not learned, proceeded to the res
idence of Mr.. Rufus Welty, who resides
three miles north of that town, to have an
interview with his unfaithful wife who
left his bed and board some three months
ago and is now making her home with the
family of Mr.. Welty. When the parties
met at about p. m. Bird extended his
hand to Mrs. B. who offered her left hand
in return, which treatment Bird considered
too cool, and Immediately drew his revolv
er, placing it at Mrs. BIS breast. but be
fore the discharge occurred the latter
struck the weapon so that the contents
took effect in the right shoulder instead
of the vital organ, at which he aimed.
Again the brutal husband fired, taking aim
as before, but the wife displaced the re-
volver so that it merely graZed her right
cheek. A third shot was made with like
intent, but was warded off somewhat by
Mrs. B. so that the contents took effect in
the left shoulder.
The bloody villain, finding that his at
tempts to take his wife's life had all prov
ed futile, then aimed at his own heart. but
Mrs. B. interfered again, striking the
weapon so that the contents entered the
abdomen above the umbilicus, passing
down the back through the intestines and
lodging in or near the renal space. This
ended the affray. for the would-be murder
er was completely Frustrated, and unable
TO continue his bloody intentions. The
parties were at once taken in charge and a
physician sent for, who probed for the
balls but with what success, we have not
learned The wounds of the woman how
ever are not considered fatal, but no hopes
are entertained for the recovery of Bird.
This (Monday) morning Bird was inter
viewed in gard to the matter. and ex =
pressed himself as being sorry for commit
ting the rash act, but claims that he did it
while under the influence of intoxicants.
THE CAUSE.
1t appears that during the past few years
this man Bird and his wife did consider
able quarreling, which the former alleges
is due to the unfaithfHlness of his wife,
she being too intimate with certain travel
ing men and other notorious characters.
Bird says that on several occasions he
lifted letters at the post office which were
mailed to his wife by travelling men, ask
ing her to meet them at certain places.
After reading the letters he remailed them
and awaited developments, which he
claims were most odius. Family matters
continued from bad to worse until about
three months ago when separation was
effected Since then Bird has been at
tended with the most distardly feelings,
which eliminated in the rash act as above
related.
