THE SPENCER CASE.
Doubts OF the Validity OF the Subpoena
Entertained by the Judge. H'

In the Spencer contempt case Judge Wylie yes.
tcrday morning said tnat he was not ready to dc.
eide the matter at that time, and would like to
hear further argument as to the manner in,which
the subpoena had been served on Mr.. Spencer. IL
was not directed to any marshal, but shows by
the Endorsement on II that II was read to Spencer
by one A. Il. Newcomb. The question with him,
ptpua rs is required by sections $40 and ST. of the
Revised Statutes, and he would like further argu-
ment on that poiut. the next point was whether
the return was valid, as the party making the re-.
turn was not known an officer of the court, and
there was nothing on the paper TO snow That he
had any authority to serve the subpoena Mr..
Spencer admitted tie ,ervice by New comb, but II
was doubtful whether that admission romedied
the matter. He, therefore, postponed the case to
hear further argument from counsel OH these
questions next Saturday.

appearance in all of its departments,
and has healthy, vigorous Demo
cratic tone which we admire, How
ever, there is a perplexing ambigui
" about one sentence Of its salUtato-
~ IN which is SET forth the future
policy # the pap,r. This sentence
cadS thus:
The Democrat believing this to be
free country, is sensible enough To-
allow every man hold to his opinion,
but at the same tine, when conflict
ing with ours, it will be our purpose
to scrape the very r1st or moss
from off their emaciated backs.
We un ierst4nd by this THAT our

ers have a perfect right to hold
views on any given question differ
ent from his own, bit at the same
that all who are so unfortunate as to
do so, will be set down as "mos shack
ers" or "rusty cusses,' having
spina, columns bowing heavenward
like unto that Of the razor back
shoat" for which these piney woods

.SuIty. OF Pike.

News reached here last Friday
night that the above named popular
and highly esteemed citizen of Pike
county. had been run over and ser
iously if not fatally, injured by the
north bound passenger tram as it
was passing through summit.
The particulars, as We gathered
them ftom Capt. Geo. T. Gracey,
depot agent at Summit, are, in Drief,
that Capt. McNulty attempted to
pass q railroad crossin! near the
Summit depot just ahead Of the pes
senger train as is was driving in at
the rate of II or Is niles per hour,
and that it is supposed he did not
fully appreciate his dan ger until the
engine was upon him. He was
knocked down caught up and carried
fifty yards upon the pilot before the
the train coul be brought to a stop,
wnen he was taken from his perlious
position Apparently ifeless. A
br:ken thigh, innumerable bruises
and severe cut on the head, pro-
ducing it is thought, concussion OF
the brain, were the injuries suS ain ell
Much of the time since he has been
in an unconscious state and his life
is despaired Of
Capt. McNulty has many warm
frieads and admirers in this county
who will be greatly shocked to hear
Of his untimelY misfortune.

as the language. Of the Herald i'm
plies. However, like thousands of
other orthodox Democrats, but I'M
like the Herald, he insists upon these
things also, in connection with the
others mentioned, which by the way,
largely accounts for our city cotem-
porary's unremltting spleen.
We will say in ad lition, that the
Herald has not been the only paper
that has displayed hAet-footed de-
sire to misrepres.nt Darden since his
speeches have been under discussion,
and the manner in which some OF
tn csc papers have "gone off half
cooked in their frantic haste to
pander TO greatness, has placed
them in a more uneaviable light than
that in which Darden would appear,
if all they have said were true.
We are no special admirer OF
CAPT. Dlrtlen aud we do not en-
dcrse all he says in = his speeches,
but we have said this much in sim
PIE justice to him, and out of pro-
per respect for journalism. In the
main, Darden is right, and the
