including about one hundred guests from New

pose. This rail was charged from an electrical

four o'clock the motor came down from the en-.
CINE house with one passenger ear loaded with

MIR. BLAINE does not adopt tho Pcnnsyl-
vania idea of distributing the surplus reve-
nue. among the States, but suggests, instead,
that the amount collected by the present
Internal revenue system be so distributed.
But Mr.. Blaine fails to see that the wish of
the country, North as well rs South, is TO
abolish the whole internal revenue system,
that AS at present conducted, which, hay
ing been transformed into an election bu-
reau under corrupt republican administra-
tions, could hardly help continuing so when
the democrats come into power again. There
would be no objection to a continuance of
the whiskcy tax provided it be collected by
a simplex and cheaper system, and one
that could not be used, rs the present one is,
as an available instrument for the llsc OF
low, partisan, and corrupt politicians. Con-
tinuc the whiskey tax, but abolish the Srs.
tenn by which it is at present collected.

WIEN GENERAL MALONE held Virginia
IN the hollow of his hand he told IL repub-
liran from Charlottesville that 5000 would
buy all the negroes there, aud that the
white republicans would have to follow.
The General may have been correct respect
ing the cheap rate ut which the negroes
sold themselves, but the recent election
shows plainly enough that he was consider
ably OIL respecting the white republicans,
and that white Virginia republicans are not,
as Capt John Wise says they arc, 'apoStalcs
for the price of their aposlacy."

the surrender OF Dick IIiddel the cap
ture Of Clarence Hitc, the death of
Jesse james at 81. Joseph and the SUR
render OF Frank james to Gov. Crit
tcnden When Clarence IIite was ar
rested In Kentucky he was confronted
with the strongest kind of evidence re-
garding his presence at Winston, and
upon being taken to Gallatin he en-
tered n plea Vi guilty and was ut once
sentenced 10 II term of twenty-five
years in the Missouri peniientary
Prior to his sentence he made full
and complete confession Of his part in
the two famous train rohberies and
told how and by whom each had been
! committed. That pardon Is now in
the,hands of n well known gentleman
Of this city, and never has been made
public ndprobably never will he, as il
deals with certain things and certain
persons in Jackson county which it
would not do to give to the world.
Tie alleged confession of the JouuHoi
n few days ago by Htc is looked upon
rs nonsense by persons who know all
about tho Winston robbery, and otli-
Gals do not believe that Clarence Hitc
ever said that he saw Frank james
shoot Mcmillan, the laboring man
killed Ut that time. While the shoot
ing was going on in the cars Clarence
lIite and Dick Liddcl were on the en-
CINE with revolvers in their hands,
and II was these two men who went
through that thrilling experience with
the engineer and fireman which every
one in this locality knows about. II IL
positively known that Hite was he
tween the baggage car and tender
! when the shooting took place in an
other part of the train, and in his con-
| iession he states this fact. Dick lid
del In his confession tells the same
story.

was bad and his general condition such
