We publish in another column
the proceedings of n meeting held
by Republicans of Washington
county, at Jonesboro, few days
ago. The meeting was attended by
more than one hundred of the best
Republicans of the county, and was
characterized with the utmost har~
mony. Resolutions, withdrawing
their support from Pettibone, were
adopted, and a committee of three
appointed in each civil district OF
the county to organize anti-Petti-
bone clubs. Things are not work

the bosses are best known. Can

think OF it, it must be so if Brown

him in the revenue service. He
knew the wants of Tom Reeves,

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ga gentleman
in this city has received a number of
inquiries By people wanting to know
what became of the four conspirators
In the assassination of Abraham Lin
coin who were sentenced to impris-
onment at the Dry Tortugas. After
diligent inquiry he has been able to
partially furnish the desired informa-
ton. DIR. Samuel A. Mudd was the
most prominent of the four. He was
the one who set Booths leg. Samuel
B. Arnold provided certain vehicles
that were to be used In carrying on
the plot. Edward Spangler, stage
carpenter, bored hole in the box oc-
cupied by President Lincoln, through
which Booth could observed the pre-
sident's position. Michael OLaughin
was convicted of completely The
latter died at Fort Jefferson, Florida.
Just before his retirement, President
johnson pardoned the rest. DR..
Mudd died about year and a half
ago. Arnorld and Spangler disap-
peared and have never been heard
from since.

expense or to depopulate neighbor-
hood in which he may be as circum-
stances may require. No pains or ex-
pense should be spared in the prompt
and proper management of the first
case of any contagious disease which
appears in any community, the OBJ
servance of this will save much subse-
quent cost and suffering.
1t should be constantly borne in
mind that the keynote of safety is the
immediate and continued isolation of
those sick from contagious disease. A
quarantine simply declared amounts
to nothing, it must be strictly enforced
and maintained until all danger is
past.
In conclusion we will state that
there is a law of this state imposing a
fine of from s25 90 to $4,000 on any
one who shall knowingly conceal case
of contagious disease, or fail to report
the same to the board of health for
more than twenty-four hours.

The circuit court resumed business
again Monday morning, and has since
that time disposed Of considerable bus
iness, and will probably complete its
labors and business for this term to-
day. Among the more important
cases before the court this week, we
might mention the case of Conan VS.
Follis, which was re-opened for cause
shown, and after exhaustive arguments
by the learned counsel, the Court re-
versed the former order, and held
that the bond previously filed by the
plaintiff was sufficient, and Mr. Conan
entitled to new trial This case will
probably find its way to the Supreme
Court.
The jury in the case of Murphy VS.
Thompson in the controversy over the
Ninton Jewelry suit, held that Mr..
Murphy was not bona fed purchaser
of the goods.
Our worthy butchers Garriety "
Shaw, had another russell in the old
COW controversy. Mr. Shaw got the
horns, Mr. Garriety got the tail, and
the lawyers got-well YOU all know
what the lawyer generally gets in such
cases
Two of our citizens, viz Mr.. james
Wright and Mr.. Huzebe Peltier, are
again free from the matrimonial yoke,
by decree of divorce granted.
The jurT was discharged on We'd
nesday. ana The court cases are being
disposed of rapidly. We believe this
is the longest term of court ever held
in the county.

Prot J. B. Carpenter closed his
first term in vocal instruction and
voice culture in this city last Tuesday
evening, with concert by the class
The Professor did not meet with the
encouragement here which he deserv-
ed, as his class only numbered twenty
scholars and these mostly young be-
ginners, and vet with this material
and only one week of training, he
gave us truly excellent concert,
which fully demonstrated to the salts
faction Of the audience that he was a
truly competent and excellent teacher
Criticisms or personal praise of those
taking part in the concert would both
be out of place in this case, hence we
prefer TO only say that all, from the
oldest to the youngest, did splendidly,
and clearly demonstrated that we
have plenty of excellent vocal talent
here in Superior, and all it lacks is
proper education to develope it. Mr..
Carpenter goes from here to Duluth,
where he Will probably remain two or
three weeks, and before he left, in
formed us Il at he would then return
to Superior and resume his labors here
if he could get class of forty or more
persons. We think such class can
be secured and we hope our unsteady
inclined people will recall Mr.. Car
penter, and keep him here two or
three weeks.

Did Not Succeed.


The efforts of Austrian d Co., ST.
Paul wholesale house, to drive Mr.. J.
w. Murphy, of this city, to the wall,
has proved dismal failure to the st.
Paul parties They succeeded in clos
ing up Mr.. Murphy's store some
months ago, but the legal points of the
matter have just been aired during the
present term of the circuit court, and
of the eight or nine cases growing out
of the original attachment, Mr.. Muir
ply wins all but one, and RECEIVERS his
goods and damages for closing the
store, or, rather, for the perishabh
goods which were in the store. We
always find enough to do in attending
to our own business without spending
time prying into the affairs of our
neighbors, but from what we have
heard and seen of this matter, it looks
as though there was mpch more perse-
cution than prosecution in the whole
thing. Mr.. Murphy may be rascal,
but during our two years business re-
lations with him, we have never seen
anything to indicate it, but on the
contrary he has always dealt honora-
bly, and fairly with us, and besides, in
all the legal research, not one word
of evidence went to show a particle of
dishonesty or contemplated fraud on
his part. Of course this process at
law brought in other claims from 9TH
err parties who had no idea of crowd
ing him, and as all matters are now
being settled, it may so cripple him
that he may not be able to resume
business for time, but still he thinks
that about the first of April next, he
will be OF his feet again and ready for
business at the old stand, and for our
part we hope he will not be disap-
pointed in his expectations.
