Judge Taylor of Philadelphia has
declared the doctrine that no man can
convey away property to the preju.
dice of his afianced wife. The case
was that of the widow of James Baird,
who was astonished to find that. just
before marrying her, Baird had made
an assignment ofhis entire property.
His intention was to prevent himself
from sluandering it, but his relatives
improved the opportunity to deprive
the widow of her right of dover. The
conveyance was decided to be invalid,
on the ground that it conflicted with
the equities between Baird and his
intended wife at the time it was made.

man is wounded so that the blood flows,
that flow is either regular or by jets
or spurts. fit flows regularly, vein
has been wounded. and string should
be bound. tightly around below the
wounded part, that is beyond it from
the heart. II the blod comes out by
leaps or jets, an artery has been sever

in short time; to prevent which, APP

between the wound and the heart. In

between and turn il around until the
handkerchief is twisted sufficiently
tight to stop the bleeding and keep it
so until physician can be had.

English people are incapable of understand

Acknowledgement in question does not origi-

Judge Black speaks of this deprivation OF

legal conviction in a court. This fallacy,
for such it is, is successfully exposed by the
Salt Lake Tribune, which paper shows that
the laW-which grants or withholds the voting
privilege, as Legislators may judge wise and
prudent-simply declares that polygamists
shall not vote; the law also decides that
minors and foreign born persons not natu-
rallied shall not vote. Ii might decide
that women shall not vote, or that a
certain time of residence should be
quired. In doing this there would be no
punishment to children or others; the law

The lunatic of the Nashville Banner is at
it again. While his trial was pending, Gui
teau would suddenly break out in furious
TRADE against the prosecuting attorney and
then subside and fill up for new onslaught.
The crank of the Nashville Banner is imi-
tating the example of his prototype. Every
few weeks he hurls at the APPEAL his stale
diatribe, then subsidies TO accumulate for an
other TRADE. A few days since a Nashville
correspondent OF the APPEAL suggested the
probable retirement of RUSSELL from the can
vass, and for publishing this communication
the Banner empties its slop-bucket upon the
APPEAL. In order TO appease the wrath OF
our rate contemporary, we would state that
Joe Russell, although slightly disfigured, is
still in the ring, and will be candidate un-
til o'clock sharp on the 9TH of November,
in the year of our blessed Lord A. D. 1882.
This announcement will strike no terror to
the great Democratic party of Tennessee, who
intend TO elect Bate governor of the
State, and the triumphant victory will
show that the boiling candidate is
nothing but a feather borne along
on the deep, strong bosom of the sweep
ing :ide. The boilers are striving to change
the current, but 1t is another case of Mrs.
Partihglou hopping back the Atlantic
ocean. The political history of the country
does not furnish a revolt as. weak and COR
temptible as the RUSSELL bolt. The only
hope of the boilers is that if they cannot
gain RUSSELL triumph they can gain
Hawkins victory. Ohio has inspired and
trengthened the Democratic ranks in every
part Of the State. 1t has quickened the lag
CARDS and halted the few men disposed 10
throw a vote away on a candidate who has
not the remotest possibility of an election,
and they will now aid, not in electing Bate,
but in swelling his majority. The forces Of
the boilers are daily dwindling. The Demo
Gratis have every incentive to action. They
are aroused and united everywhere, and the
result of the election in this State will show
that the principles OF Democracy are so
deeply implanted in the hearts OF the people
that they can win victories over both the
Republican party and the boilers.

EaeL1sH FAILURES In ICELAND.

Again and again English policy has failed
in Ireland through the disposition to drive
by mere force, 10 use compuIsion instead OF
Cancellation, and too often the best measures
adopted in the Irish policy are neutralized
in what should be their bene6cent results by
some arbitrary proceeding that rouses passion
and provokes the obstinacy of hate. The
Land act which checks the rapacity Of uncon-
scionable landlords is stupidity supplemented
by a coercion law, an act 10 drive and force,
and generative OF more harm for the time
being than the justice done by the land law
was doing good. The result of the coercion
law, now its term has ended, is a demon
strated failure; some of the strong support

HOUSE AND QUARLES TONIGHT AT
THE OPERAHOUSE.

The Hon. John F. House and Gen. w
H. Quarles will speak at the OPerahouse TO-
night for the election of Bate on the fifty
and-three platform. The attendance ought
to be large. There are no better speakers in
the State than these gentlemen, both OF whom
have been before the people of the State for
many years. Gen. Quarles.was prominent
and promising candidate for governor some
years ago, and is personally as popular as
any man in the party. Mr.. House is the
present member of Congress from the Sixth
District, and Is highly esteemed BY his fell
Iow-members Of the House of Representa-
tiVes as not only one of the ablest speakers
10 that body, but one of the clearest thinkers
and safest advisers in the Democratic rankr.
In caucus he has always been looked TO ss
an almost uuerring guide, and one it would
do 10 follow. Mr.. House, like Gen. Quarles,
is a volunteer in this canvass, in which he
has no personal interest, as he has declined
to become a candidate for reelection.
Worthy the highest honors the people can
confer, he and Gen. Quarles should be the
recipients of hearty reception by the peo-
pie of Memphis, and the Operahouse should
be filed by all who wish to hear the tissues

speakers in the State.

RICHES AND POVERTY.

One of the worst "signs of the tines to
be discovered just now among us is the ten
dency of 'the poor to grow poorer and the
rich richer" Attempts have often been
made to deny that this is the fact, but "the
stern logic of events demonstrates it in a
way too palpable to be concealed. In any
country division into very rich and very
poor class is an element of danger; in re-
public such as ours the danger is especially
American character and habits of living
suppose that the large majority of the Amer
lean people will permit the wealth of the
nation 10 be SO divided that, while small
minority absorb the larger share of that
wealth, the mass of the people will rest quiet
aud content if their industry will bring for
themselves and families only bare supply
of the commonest necessaries of life, with
no hope of improvement, with the assurance
that squalor and want and the degradation
of having ouly the meanest clothing to wear
must be their lot in all the hopeless
future? The Boston Star remarks: "We
are in considerable danger of having
at least two classes here, the rich and the
poor, between which wide gulf is to be
fixed. New York is more favorably situated
10 illustrate such an unwelceme theory than
any other city in the Union. A number OF
the clergy of that city have OF late been ex-
pressing themselves in the columns of the
newspapers in a way TO place the 'pprehen-
sion IN the ground of slmost positive GER
tainty. All Of them see N 10 confess the fact
that gult does indeed yawn between the
Two extremes of society" The question nat
urally arises-is this state of things neces,
sary and inevitable condition of social life,
or is it owing to causes which can be re-
moved by human skill, so that a state of
things can be brought about by which the
tendency of wealth shall be toward diffusion
instead of toward accumulation, so that the
rich shall not be extravagantly rich nor the
poor poor to restitution? Also, can this
change be made without recourse to the
crimes of communism or depend
ence upon the fallacies OF social
ism? Unquestionably 1t can. The laws
that govern the distribution of property at
present favor accumulation, they can as
readily be made 10 promote diffusion For
instance, law requiring every maker of
will 10 distribute all he owns, above a GER
tain amount, among at least given number
of inheritors, In proportion to the amount of
the property bequea,hed, would of itself

that become danger, in the course of time,

modes of thinking such as prevail in The

WAsHINGToE, October 16.-When asked
whether he had anything TO say in reference
to the sfidavits published this morning in
connection with the Star-route jury bribery
sffair, Merrick said: "In his opinion, il was

the matter at this time. The whole subject
was under investigation, and in two or three

a report. Meanwhile, any attempt TO fore

Without doubt attempts have been made
