A BIGAMiST In LIMBO.
dallas Herald
Secretary.

Sheriff William Warden, of Collin
county arrived in the city yesterday
en- route from Fort Worth to Me,
Kinney with j. Il. Lively, The
bigamist. mention Of whom was made
in the Fort Worth dispatches to the
Herald a few days since. If the brief
history OF his voyages upon the
matrimonial sea, as CLEANED by a
Herald reporter, be true, he is much
y married man and would be shin
ing light IN the Mormon church. A
few weeks ago in his checkered career
ne bObbed up near Arlington, in Tar
rant county, at the house of Mrs. Ar
wine, widow lady, whose daughter,
Miss Annie Arwine, he subsequently
induced to elope with him. The girl
was just entering her teens-hardly
fourteen--young and inexperienced,
her consent to run away with and
marry him was readily gained. They
went to Mckinney, but when he went
to get the marriage license Mr.. George
Morris, the deputy county clerk, re-
quired Of him sworn affidavit and he
sWoret hat the girl was an orphan, had
been raised by him, and that in the
parlance of the law he was her next
best friend. On this affidavit the de-
putty issued the license and the couple
called on justice Page to tie the nuptial
knot. The Justice asked Lively We're
the BRIDE was, and when he was re-
ferred to the girl, he told Lively that
he begged to be excused; that he would
never be guilty of marrying a child to
a man. Finally Lively succeeded in
securing the services of Rev. Mr.. Nc.
Kinney, who performed the marriage
rites. They returned to Arlington and
sent word TO Mr.. Arwine, the girls
uncle, with whom her and her mother
made their home, to know if they
could return, and in order to get time
to find out more about Lively, he
consented. Soon afterwards it was
ascertained that he had living wife
in Louisiana and another in Arkansas,
and still another, Miss Aycock, living
in Limestone county, whom he had
welded last May and recently
abandoned. Mr.. Arwine visited her
and learned the truth from her, when
he notified the authorities and the
arrest Of Lively for bigamy followed.

illimitably, voted nay, because, as he
stated, contrary vote would neces-
state an extra session of the legislature,
which he, no less than the people, did
not desire to see called. There are
thousands Of good people in the State,
who may not now be supporting him,
who yet will maintain that he did
right from another reason, namely,
that one lottery was one more than
enough, and two would have been.un-
endurable. And the TELEGRAPH is
not sure but what it erred in sup
porting an augmentation of the
number of lotteries, since just at this
time, the influence of one becomes
matter of such moment, whereas two,
or ten as there would have been,
would not have left us printers quad
to space out this line.
There may be, and no doubt is, some
real virtuous supposition to Gov. Nc
Emery because of his opposed willing
ness to see the monopoly feature of the
Howard lottery maintained but we
undertake to say that if the people
will elect members of the legislature
who will enact law aboishing that
concern, it will be returned approved
by McEnery within ten minutes after
the Act is enrolled. But the trouble
has been and the truth has been-as it
was in the Constitutional Convention
the people themselves seem to be utter
ly unable to choose from among them
selves men with sufficient manhood or
Intelligence to represent them, and to
give effectual force to their wishes.
"A laundering lot Of absurdity it
would seem TO be to talk Of electing
one man in whole State to oppose any
measure whatever, when the people of
single parish out of the tifty-eight
comprising the State cannot clearly and
explicitly carry out their purposes.
To-day being Sunday, we submit the
foregoing as sermon on gambling,
on the duty of the people; and the real
responsibilities of journalist.

During the trial Of a case before the
District Court at Farmerville last
week, the plaintiff in action filed re-
volver among his papers. The Ga.
zette relates the circumstance thus:
j. M. Defee appeared before the bar
with pistol in his hand, and told the
court that he had been abused in
previous trial, and asked the court to
protect him from repetition of the
abuse or permit him to protect himself.
Judge Graham, in substance, told De-
fec that such matters were usually per-
sonal ones and as such beyond the
province of the court, and that the
court would permit no settlement of
personal disputes in court, except in
legal manner. Mr.. Defee then gave
his pistol to by Sheriff Montgomery,
and submitted to the suggestions Of
the court.

THE LOTTERY QUESTION.

antl-administratiOn persuasion charge
that ;. ID. McEnery is the candidate OF
the Louisiana State Lottery Company (;
but the Picayune as we said last week
does not do it, and is not going to.
Why? Because it cannot do so with
out either at least indirectly attacking
the Lottery Company or endorsing
McEnery-and it is not going to do
either. That McEnery has friends of
the lottery among his supporters we
will not deny; but we do assert--and
challenge the Picayune to deny it
that there are lottery men among the
combinationists-the Ogden men,
Nichols men or whatever they call
themselves-and now what have our
country brothers TO say ?-Richla,ad
Beacon.
Say? They will accept Towards
double column advertisement and at
less rates than they will charge their
own merchants or schools, and will
purchase lottery tickets, perhaps on the
sly. If there be any one Of them who
will not, we here pledge the TELE-
GRAPH to publish his papers pros
pectus (one-quarter of a column) six
months gratis. Is there, as fact, a
single one of these journals which has
not really solicited advertising favors
from the Louisiana Lottery? We do not
hold that they are responsible tor a
corrupt concern, because they may nave
sought its patronage, but we do main
tain that the newspaper which accepts
Towards money for publishing his
lottery has not the standing before the
people emitting ii to print ten words
against this infamous monopoly-much
less, to arraign any man for imaginary
or alleged submission to its political
pretensions. He, in fact, who has the
power not to spread before the public
the seductive and false inducements
held out by Howard to the young and
the poor TO gamble in his lottery, and
yet does thus disseminate through his
columns these temptations, and then
writes of the corruptiOns of the lottery,
is false to his trust as journalist and to
that which yields him support. We
have fought this Lottery IS none of the
"anti-administration" papers have, we
imagine; we have declined its adver-
Using patronage; and are supporting
Governor McEnery.
We agree with our contemporary OF
Richland. 1t will be time enough for
the opposition to Gov. McEnery to
assail him on the lottery question
when the combination organ, the Pic
ayune, to-Wit, to whose foreign music
they so attentively listen, has spoken
auth0ritatively in that direction for
the distinguished gentlemen whose
medium Of communication TO the
world the Picayune has good and
substantial claims to be. The power of
the Louisiana Lottery i. nowhere so
well and forcibly manifested as in the
pregnant silence of McEnery's chief
accuser, the Picayune.
Against the Louisiana Lottery, as a
fact, nothing scarcely has been said bv
the press, until some point or other
must be raised against McEnery's
nomination, since the progress of the
debates in the Constitutional Con-
vention of '79-only, there has been
the question discussed, of one lottery,
or of one hundred, and McEnery, we
believe, was in favor of one hundred
as against one, and we believe, further.

AS will be observed 10y perusal of pro
oeedings in another column, the Board
of Supervisors, failing of an opportunity
to dispose of the county prisoners at the
last meeting, adopted an order which
provides for working them on the comfy
roads, our friend, Judge Stockton of the
First District, entering his solemn pro.
test against the measure, which will lie
found embraced in the proceedings The
entire Board was and is now, anxious TO
dispose of the prisoners in such q manner
as to save to the tax payers the expense
Of thirty cents per day for board, and
has used every endeavor to do so, and
we feel confident that the action of mem,
bers from the Third, Fourth and Fifth
Districts, comprising a majority, will be
thoroughly endorsed by the people,
although a slight additional expense will
be incurred for guards, etc. There are
several important thoroughfares within
reach Of the Jail that are in wretched
condition and beyond the ability of the
road hands assigned to them to keep in
anything like good repair. owing to the
immense travel over them, and the labor
of the convicts will be appreciated by all
who have to pass over them in going to
and from market and elsewhere.

Monday last was the day fixed for the
sale OF lands delinquent for taxes, and
what was sold only for the purpose Of
perfecting title. What county in the
State can match this?-COlumbu IaleT
Why, Monroe county can beat it out
of sight; Monday, the 9Th inst, was the
day prescribed by law for the sale OF
delinquent lands in Monroe, us well as
all other counties in the State, and there
was not even sale for "perfecting
title" There was no sale at all--not an
acre of land was sold for anything.
Tho taxes were all paid and Sheriff L..
L. Sykes, instead of holding the sale as
usual, departed on that day for Jackson
and had his settlement with the Auditor
in advance of the other Tax Collectors
Of the State. Our friend Of the Index
must spring some other question if he
hopes TO "head off" Old Monroe.

The county prisoners, to the number
of eight or nine, under guard of Messrs.
James Lusby and james Mosby, in con.
fornity to recent order of the Board OF
Supervisors, commenced work on Mon
day on the iron bridge road, just across
the river. Messrs. Lusby and Mosby
are the right men in the right place and
as long as they have charge of these
prisoners and the authority from the
Board to work them, good results are
bound to follow. The Board of Trade
furnished them complete outfit of tools
and implements and all they now have
to do is to put in solid work on the
roads, without any hindrance.

A 'pop call" of this reporter at the
scene Of operations on the Canton,
Aberdeen & Nashville Railroad, on
Saturday, disclosed the fact that work
on that enterprise is progressing as
satisfactorily as even the contractors
themselves could desire. We were
informed by the Messrs Hartnatt,sub-
contractors, that the two cuts nearest
the city, upon which they have been
engaged the past two weeks will be
completed by Saturday night, when
their teams and laborers will be re-
moved beyond James creek. Between
the cut to the east of Odd Fellows
Rest and the one through the Pendle-
nIpremises, there is "fill" of about
five hundred feet in length, and prob
ably three and half feet high, which
will be finished at the same time.
Beyond these cuts and north of James
creek there is yet another one upon
which eighteen teams and as many
laborers as could be utilized were at
work last week and at the time Of
this writing depth Of FIVE feet had
been attained. To the south of the
creek and about one mile from it, the
heaviest work between this city and
West Point will be encountered,
which is the high ridge SO familiar to
all who have had occasion to travel
the route by private conveyance.
From the present scene of opera
tons through the city to Matubba
creek, the terminus, there is hardly
any work to be done at all and the
contractors say that they can perform
it all in two Or three days, so that
there is no necessity of giving that
portion of the line any attention at
present.
Our people are very much elated
at the progress that is being made at
this end of the route.

TELEPHONE NOTES.


If we only knew how such
prominent business firms as Messrs
Gattman & Co.'S Bank, and Messrs.
McQuiston & Heisen's cotton COM
mission house get along without the
telephone, we would be perfectly
happy and contented.
Some one has said that kissing by
telephone is a very unsatisfactory
performance, but a young gentleman
of this city can attest that there is
great felicity in receiving bouquet
of flowers by that line. The reason
for bis desiring telephone connection
with the exchange, and consequently
with all the subscribers, is now very
obvious.
-"Col. Aaron Evans" colored.
asserts that he intends instituting
suit against the Aberdeen Telephone
Company for damages, for infringing
upon his rights. For a long time he
has had almost monopoly in the
carrying trade-tbat is, carrying
notes and missives for the young
gentlemen to their sweethearts and
the ladies general y--and claims tina
they now use the telephone for send
ing their messages, thereby material
" interfering with his business, to
the great depletion of his purse.

The Vlcksburg Herald, says that a
rumor is current in New York to the
effect that the Bell Telephone Com
pany has been quietly purchasing
controlling interests in local tele-
phone companies throughout the
country with view to organizing a
competition with the Western Union
Telegraph Company. III has been
repeatedly demonstrated that mes
sages can be transmitted with perfect
accuracy through the telephone aud
over the telegraph by connecting the
wires, and it is claimed to be more
expeditions than the present tee~
graph system. The idea of the Bell
Telephone Company, however, is to
perfect system by which messages
may be sent from telephone subscri-
bers to the exchange, thence by tele
graph to exchanges in distant cities
from which to be delivered through
the telephone again to subscribers in
their Offices.
