The Fate of the Informers.

1t is said that James Carey is at
present living in Newgate jail under
government protection. 1t is GER
tain that Farrell, another Phoenix
Park informer, is living in that Jail
under protection. He got FL, 900
from the government for his services
He came to London he thought in
perfect disguise, and went for a time
unguarded. He soon found that he
was being tracked by Invincibles,
and became so alarmed that after
two days of liberty in London he
appealed to the police for protec-
ton, stating that he was being
Swallowed by the avengers of Fenian
lodges. The police sent him to
Newgate, where he will stay until
some arrangement is perfected for
getting HIM out of the country by
stealth. James Carey claims from
the government $4,000 as his share
Of the award to the informers, claims
the right to written pardon and
the right to constant government
protection wherever he may choose
to reside. The government dis
putes Carey's claims, says he is en-
titled to but small reward and to
no pardon, and further insists that
if he desires constant government
protection, he can get it by taking
work in a convict prison. Carey is
no doubt getting crazy from con-
slant terror. His mental state now
alternates between fits of despon-
dency md fits of frenzied bravado.

A Handsome GAMING.

Decatur TEX Post.
Last Wednesday morning about
9 o'clock Gov. Jno. c. Brown of
Tennessee came in a special train
accompanied by Colonels c. l..
Frost, J. NJ. O'Neill and some 9th
er officials of the Fort Worth &
Denver City railway, whose names
we failed to get. The object of the
governors visit was to take in De-
catur, see sundry friends he has
here and pay his respects to Mrs.
Warren's normal school. The cit
liens of Decatur took this occa
sion to give expression to their ap-
probation of Gov. Browns services
rendered in the matter of placing
our City Hall bonds in st. Louis.
Soon alter the train arrived, the
governor accompanied by the hon
orable mayor and board of alder
men and others of our citizens were
driven in carriages over the city
and to the city hall when the cere-
mony of Gaming the governor was
had. Col. d. A. Holman was the
Brutus in the conspiracy formed
against the governor, and stepping
forward on the stage, he made the
prettiest little speech this reporter
has heard in many days, and pre-
sented,in the name of the citizens of
Decatur, the governor with nice
gold headed cane. The governor
claimed that he had been "out-
1anked'' by the conspirators and
would have to resort to the danger
Gus experiment OF changing front in
the presence of the enemy, or in
other words make an off-hand
speech, which he did In a manner
that would do credit to any gov
ernor Tennessee has had since the
days of Polk and Foster. The par
ty only had one hour to spend in
Decatur, and everything said and
done was to the point, brief, bus
iness-like and pleasant; the party
left at 10 o'clock for Fl. Worth.

they acquired by fraud. He did
his duty like a patriot and a man.
1t has recently been told by prom
inent man who participated in these
exciting events that when the
weight was thrown upon Mr.. Ran
dali he got down from the speakers
place, went into a cloak room and
drew the door, and down upon his
Bonded knees he implored the
God of Nations to give him wisdom
and strength to decide Alright. and
getting up from there he went back
to his station and from that mo-
ment never swerved in his duty, and
the result was a peaceful solution
and a prosperous country. This is
the same man who seeks to be made
speaker again, and this incident is
demonstration that whatever his
views on tariff or otherwise, he will
do his duty fearlessly, without ia
vor and with great wisdom.

The Peabody Fund.

We have received through the
courtesy of Senator Edmundson a
pamphlet giving a history of the
charitable works of George Pea
body, the greatest philanthrophist
in the worlds history. His gifts,
mostly in aid of education and al
ways worthily bestowed, amounted
to $S,195,500. Three and a half
millions of this was given for an
educational fund for the southern
states. He bought state bonds and
presented thenf to various institu-
tions, and among others he gave to
Peabody Institute, Baltimore, Md.
100000 in Tennessee bonds. Ten
nessee has received from his educa-
tional donation, down to 1SSl5S2,
100000. OF the bonds held by the
Peabody Institute $4,000 are in
cluded in the state debt proper and
will be paid in full, but $213,OOO
fall in the category of railroad bonds
and are to be scaled at 50-3.
The manifest injustice, or out
rage, here to be perpetrated led
Senator Edmundson to introduce a
bill at last session to fund these
bonds into a certificate of indebted
ness bearing @ per cent, redeem
able at option within thirty years.
The senator supported this bill in
speech of unanswerable logic and
an array of facts that ought to have
shamed opposition. The speech is
published in the pamphlet before us
and we believe the CITIZEN pub
lished it when delivered. The bill
was defeated, not on its merits, but
because members construed the
platform or caucus pledges as pre-
Guiding its passage. If it had
not interfered with the debt settle |
ment it would have passed un-
doubtedly. 1t will come up at the
next session, free from embarrass-
ment on account of the general |
settlement, and there is not a
reason to oppose it. The people |
should see to it that the men who
go to the next Legislature are in
favor of making PREPARATION for the
robbery OF such sacred fund. If
not, let Tennessee return what she
has received and renouGce her right
TO more of the Peabody fund.

Must Not Bnng their Hair.

Rev. Father O'Haran, pastor of
St. Mary's church, Wilkesbarre, Pa,
and the pastor of the Catholic
church at Plymouth, in the same
state, have notified the young Sun
ay-school children of their congre-
CATION that hereafter they will not
be allowed to wear bangs or frizzes
while attending divine services. If
they do they will be sent home.
Rev. O'Haran in a lecture to the
children, condemned the fashion of
wearing bangs in severe terms, and
said no young girl who ever ex-
pected to become lady would be
guilty of the act of banging. The
parents coincide with the pastor,
with few exceptions. It is under
stood a circular has been issued by
Bishop O'Haran to all the clergy of
the diocese, calling their attention
to the matter.

Another Treasury Robbery.

The Tennessee treasurer's office
was robbed again last Thursday
night. The book containing the
entries relied upon to convict Polk
was stolen. II not only contained
the figures that showed the trans
actions of the Office through Folks
term, but the accounts with the diff
ferents banks where money was de-
posted. No absolute clue is OBJ
tainable, but a dullard can readily
guess whose interest demanded its
destruction. Polk wanted it burned,
Of course, and Fleming wouldn't
care to face it if there is any truth
in the accusations brought against
him of false entries; and those
banks that conspired with Polk to
cover up his defalcation at various
times will not grieve that the evil
dence of such conspiracy is put
where it will do the most good in
hiding their cussedness. 1t occurs
to us that the new treasurer should
have thought how valuable this
book is at this juncture and turned
an extra key upon it every night,
instead of leaving it lying loose
on the table and the key TO
the office left in the superintendent
office. Treasurer Thomas offers
$3.50 reward for it. We imagine
the parties who have it value it at
least five or ten dollars more than
this.

COIumbia's Fire.

Columbia experienced her most
disastrous fire last Thursday morn
ing. 1t started about 2 o'clock in
the Williams block, corner south
main and 8th streets, and burned
towards the square to and includ-
ing Andrews hardware store and
dwelling. 1t was feared the fire
would spread over that whole side
of town, the water giving out twice
just as they were about to control
it. A Nashville engine came out
about 6 o'clock and with the two
home engines succeeded in getting
it under control about 10 O'Clock.

together with the amount of loss
and insurance as far as could be as

Where the Rich Come From

New York Sun: All except
very few of the rich men of the
present have made their money
since 1860. Before that time the
majority of them were poor, and
their prospects of winning fortunes
were not greater than those of
thousands to day.
The ranks of wealth are all the
time recruited from poverty. A
new class of rich men will come up
during the next quarter of a centu-
ry, and it will be composed chiefly,
if not almost entirely, of those who
are now struggling to make both
ends meet. In every department of
trade and manufacture vigorous and
enterprising young men are forging
ahead not because they have CAPT
tai in money, but because they have
capital in brains and energy. A
man with a new idea of practical
value, and who knows how to use it,
never had better chance than he
has now,

An Expensive Luxury.

The county court system of
Tennessee is a most costly nuisance
"a fifth wheel in the machinery of
our government that could be very
profitably dispensed with. We
speak of the system, not of the per-
sons of the court. A majority of
the magistrates composing the
courts of the various counties of
the state are, perhaps, as good,
solid citizens as can be found in
the county. But no matter what
their sense of judgment may be, a
few of them only have practical
business experience, and therefore
have slight qualifications for the
position. If, however, all of them
were first-class business men, the
system being faulty, vicious and
cumbersome, would inevitably lead
them, as it does now, into useless
and erroneous action: Besides it
costs the taxpayers Of the county
much more than it ought or would
if the business were transferred to
a commission of say three practical
business men, especially charged
with and paid for the duties per
formed. Three well qualified bust
ness men would do all the business
in a much more acceptable manner
at one half the expense now in
Cured, and we should get rid of
the everlasting dickering and ma
nipulation-the ''you tickle me and
I'll tickle YOU policy now in vogue
and so disgusting to all disinter-
ested, sensible men. The best mag
istrates of the country see these
things as plainly as outsiders and
are anxious to have the nnmitig-
gated uuisance abated. A consti-
tutional convention ought to be
called-if for nothing else, to abol-
ish the expensive humbug.-Tulla-

Sun spots are unusually numer-
Gus and noticeable and the wise
men have made their calculations
and conjectures. A short calcula-
ton shows that the weather has
been very warm and will probably
remain so until it turns cooler. They
have not ventured further than this
yet except to insinuate that it may
rain occasionally when the clouds
are favorable. How sharper than
the serpent's tooth is the wisdom
of man.
