Not Guilty.

The star route defendants were
declared "nOt guilty" by the jury
last Thursday morning. One of
the defendants, Rerdell, has con
fessed but he is not allowed to be
guilty and we have the extraordina-
ry phenomenon of a court setting
aside his plea of guilty and declar-
ing him innocent. There is no
sort of doubt that they were all
overwhelmingly guilty. The trial
lasted over six months. The YER
dict was received with tremendous
cheers and the thieves received all
manner of congratulations. We
announced last Thursday morning
that the argument was finished and
the jury had gone to mixing the
whitewash, but we thought they
would not apply it with indecent
haste. 1t has not yet been ascer-
tanned how many and which jurors
were bought.
The Pope has gotten himself into

Commission of Referees.

Editor Manchester Times.
The Coffee county docket has
been heard up to January, 1882.
The court is careful, pain taking and
performing an immense amount of
work. The law creating the court
requires it to report upon both the
law and the facts, which imposes
much more labor upon it than de-
wolves upon the supreme court
The judges are all affable and cour-
teous, which makes the practice be-
fore them very pleasant. The bar
of Middle Tennessee may rely upon
the working qualities and good
judgment of the court. If any er-
rors are committed, it will be in APP
plying the law to every intricate
question of fact, or to such ques-
tions as seem to be equivocal.-
Common sense and good working
qualities always make an efficient
court. The writer makes the above
deductions from two weeks work
before the conrt. X.

There is not the remotest posi-
bility Of convicting republican
thieves. The most astounding sys
tens of plundering that ever ex-
listed have been proven time and
again, and yet the thieves are held
secure under the great protecting
wing of the party. There remains
but one way to remedy the evil:
Hurl the putrid old party from
power. The star route thieves were
veritable robbers beyond the posi-
bility of doubt. So were the wills
Ky ring thieves. The money sto-
len goes to buy states and reward
peuurers and enrich the plumber
.ers who thus perpetuate their
mower

II. Barnum, of Connecticut, chair
man of the national committee,
Saturday evening en- route TO Chi
cago, said of Buffers chances for
the presidency: Personally, l am
not a very strong Butler man; still
the fact cannot be disguised that he
is very strong candidate. In the
New England states it Is a foregone
conclusion that he will be the next
president. He can carry all the
New England states exc pit Vermont

what he thought of Tilden and Hen
bricks, Barnum smiled and said:
"Please excuse me-" He thinks
that either Blaine or Senator Ed
munds will be the republican
nominee.

From the numerous criticism up
on Gov. Bates action in pardoning
pistol toters it is evident that there
is a widespread feeling againat the
vile practice. 1t is proper that men
who persist in defying the law
thus should be made to feel the
penalty and to know that public in
dignation will no longer brook
their conduct. Gov. Bate doubt
less acted strictly within the line
of his power and perhaps used
proper discretion, and for what he
has done we see no reason to cen
surehim, but criticism will place him
upon his guard and may result in
surer and steadier punishment to
offenders. There is no sense in
men carrying deadly weapons and
if they persist in it they ought to
have full punishment melted out to
them. IL good citizens carry pis
tolls, bad ones will do it, and the
result is murders and assassina-
tons.

The American Sunday had q
leader upon the indecent fashion
lately sent out from Gotham prac-
ticed by young men and women
when walking with each other. II
it can inaugurate crusade against
the rude habit and awaken parents
to the duty of forbidding their
daughters to be caught in such i'm
modest connection with young men,
it will have done a righteous work.
1t has not gone into remote coun-
try regions yet, but in all the cities
and towns and wherever fstyle" is
essayed, you may see q young man
with his arm twined about the wo-
woman's arm, his hand slipping up
and down from her wrist to her ell
bow, and his elbow tickling her in
the side. The couple thus get clos
er together and rub up against each
other and when they turn their
faces together their chins almost
touch. We are glad to see the
American protest in the name ofde-
cency and modesty and maiden
purity against a habit that origina-
ted in New York slums and is
suited only to the characters that
frequent immOdest places. Young
woman, you have done this thought
lessly. Do not permit it again.

Mr.. Henry Watterson visited Mr..
Tilden at Gramercy Park last
week and was absolutely dumb
founded to find him strong and
healthy and vigorous. He showed
Mr.. Watterson all over the farm
and his hand was steady, his step
elastic, his head clear. He winds up
his dispatch to the CourierJ Journal
by the authoritative statement that
'sno power on earth could induce
him to accept a nomination" This
may be taken as conclusive and
places his name out of the reach of
the convention. In contrast with
this scene, the public is invited to
witness two Indiana statesmen
gouging at each other, sitting side
by-side at banquet table in New
York and not recognizing each
other, andyet with such metropolitan
exhibition Of littleness and envious-
ness, these both aspire to be nomi-
mated for president. Hendricks nor
Mcdonald are entitled to the nOmi
nation. There is n name whose
very mention calls up glorious
apparition of sweeping victory,
name that will raise a shout from the
mountains to the sea, the name Of
a man without reproach, Of un-
swerving principle, towering in the
strength of unequaled intellect, the
truest and greatest of all democrats

Nominate him, and victory is not
only assured, but the country will
