Judge Pierce Norton has just returned

sentative of the Sentinel met him, and the
following interview occurred:

POLK.

The trial Of Marshall 7. Pols the default
ing Treasurer of Tennessee, Is over. Mr.. Polk
washonorably conDec'ed, being the nephew OF
the late ex-Presldent James X. pix. The de-
faulter was educated At WestPoint, andwon the
reputation OF q brave soldier IN the Confed-
crate Army. We was wounded at the battle
of Shiloh, by which be lost a leg. After the
War, In 1877, he was elected State Treasurer,
and was in Office when his endorsements
were discovered. He robbed the State that
had honored him OF about 500. 900, and for
the crime has been tried, con
victed, and sentenced 10 the .Peni-
Tertiary for twenty years. and fined an
amount equal to his stealings. This distin-
guished thief was born in the year 1881, and
is therefore ffty-t~o years of age. II he
serves out his sentence he will come forth
from Prison st the ego OF seventy-two years.
With the money he stole from the State he
purchased Mexican mines, which is said TO
be good property, and the State may there
fora get back Its money. II was a difficult
matter to fiod twelve men in Tennessee who
had not formed or expressed an opinion as to
Polk' s guilt, but after 600 had been examined
the panel was completed, and the trial pro-
ceeded with the result we have specified.
Tue trial has attracted much attention
on account OF the large amount OF
funds embeEzled and the high social position
of the sccCsed. The result does great honor
to Tennessee justice, and will do for an ex-
ample when other States or the General Gov
eminent are dealing with cultured, educated
and highly connected rascals. After the
Tennessee trial we ought to hear less OF the
demoralizsd condition of Southern society,
SRd q willingness to protect defeulters and
the like who violate the laws. Indeed Ten
Dessee hiss set an example in that direction
which other States may follow with honor
and profit, and none more than where there
has been q studied effort on the part of the
Republican press to stigmatizs all things
Southern.

The Huntington Democrat, OF which Hon.
W. J. Hilligsss is editor, takes the Lagr snge
Standard to task on the wool question and
the criminal injustice Of the Republican
tariff laws in their operation against the
farmers Of the country. The Democrat dis
cusses the subject with marked ability
and thoroUghn' So. giving deserved promi-
hence to the fact that the iniquitous tariff
laws favor the rich and Cypress the poor"
Referring particularly TO the wool-grow ing
interests of Indiana the Democrat says:
Let US take the woolgrowing iatsrests in I1di-
ana In 1870. two years after the high tariG laws
we're inaugurated By the Republican party. Ac-
cOrding to the ninth osusus reports. page 70s, we
had 1.6l2,6S0 head OF w0ol-growing sheep
IN our State. In 1850. according to the tenth
census report. page $50. we had 1,I01.5ri
head OF wool-srowing sheep. IN other
words. We had 5l2.f79 less woolgr0wing
sheep in Indiana Ia 1880 than we had in 1870.
From 1850. under period OF ten years. that our
neighbor OF the Standard is pleased TO cali Demo

while the zen years following under Republican
high tariff our sheep interests fell of onethird.
