Caught Dangling.

DALTON. TEN. August 2l.-Quite an ex.
element arose here by an attempt to break
Jail on the part of James Coker, charged
with stealing watch from negro. He is
usually confined in the cell at night, but al
lowed the privilege of the halls in the day.
In order to escape he had removed the
bricks under one of the windows, which ara
grated with iron. Having made rope OF
his blanket, he was just swinging down feet
OH the end of bar of the grating, and whare
he was discovered thus suspended. Quite a
crowd gathered upon the scene, and having
released the would-be refugee from justice,
he was returned to his cell, whence he will
be allowed no more privileges.

people.
Fifth-The good work of restoring public
lands to the State for homestead settlement
should be continued until the last acre is re-
covered. and that corporations and foreign
powers be not permitted to acquire and fence
In tracts of land to the injury of the settlers.
Sixth-That all public lands of the United
states wherever situated, should be opened
TO actual settlement, and we are therefore IN
favor of opening up for occupancy by actual
settlers all such lands now comprised within
the boundaries of the Indian Territory, and
We eInphatically denounce as unjust and out
rageous the arrest and removal of actual set
tiers from such lands by United States
troops. The continuous refusal of the
United States Government to permit the
question in relation to title to lands located in
the so-called Indian Territory, to be decided
by the United states courts is an outrage
upon the rights of all citize ms. and cowardly
evasion of direct call to answer a question
of vital Importance TO such citizens.
Seventh-That the laboring classes require
the fostering care of our Legislature, and the
protecting hand of official power in their
struggle for life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" This we pledge to them now in
the spirit of pure Democracy. which has
ever been the friend of labor; and that
1e denounce, and will oppose the importation
OF foreign pauper labor under contract to
compete with our citizens: and further. that
we are opposed TO convict labor as being in
opposition to the free labor OF our country.
Eighth-That We respectfully invite the CO.
operation of all good citizens, without respect
to party, who can give a hearty endorsements
to this our platform of principles, touching
the questions involved between the political
parties in our State.
The resolutions were adopted without
debate. The following communication was
received and read:

keep the people of the country voting accord

have testified before a committee in sub
stance that when he had Democratic Legis-

whenever Republican Legislature he was

Saturday. Freeman had lost his way
and was going a short route through

struck Freeman with an axe and
knocked him senseless. After he had
fallen the black fends beat him UNI

After lying in ditch for hours Pre-

aid. He was found and carried to
the residence of Mr.. John Bobbitt

when last heard from he was in dy-

it, Whatever may be the origin of
the decalogue, whether human or di-
vine, the high compliment has been
paid to it that every one of its COM
mands Except those which provide for
the duty of man to worship Cod has
been re-enacted as civil law ; and when
you say "Thou shalt not kill" or
"Thou shalt not STEAL" it is only re-
enacting of the law of Moses-a much
so as the Sunday law.
The time will come when there shall
be no use for law; when all restraints
will become unnecessary in the univerS

ful6lment of the law. Now, there
must he restraint, because there are
lawless ones. | verify believe myself,

Society must protect itself against

their safety, peace and happiness is
valid law. The Sunday law is consti-

"But suppose it were competent for

For l suppose it will be admitted that
there is an honest diversity of opinion
on that subject. My clients are firm
believers in the holy character of that
day, and they strictly keep it, as the
record shows. But they believe that
the Lord, who alone had the power to
fix it, rested the seventh day, and
sancti6ed it as His Sabbath. And

it profanes the Lords day. We have

them as days of great political events,
