THE young gentlemen of this city
who went to Guthrie to play base ball
last Saturday can probably apply the
following from the Memphis AVA
lanche to their own case:
Once when preacher saw his best
SOW come up with her ears all bitten
of by the dogs he exclaimed Il am
not sure that there is such thing in
nature, but if the designer of all good
has designed such thing do not
say-piously / say it-that there is
such thing as Did shame, but if
there is that is it" We do not know
how it is, but it seems that after all
said and done and all the odds in their
favor and all the dispatches and nigh
certainty the Chicks are beaten. We
are inclined to the preachers opinion
in the sow case. that ii there is such a
thing as that kind Of a shame-and we
do not say there is--then this is it.

and that he was tried at the November
term, jointly with VIM. and Ransom

the verdict aside and remanded them
to be tried separately. The evidence
introduced this time was much tie
same as before, including confessions
OF VIM. Morrew who said that be
killed Brown and he did it because he
had attempted to rape his sister, Mrs
Bellamy.
The State also introduced witnesses
who prove series of circumstances
that go to show that Bellamy knew o
the killing, and one witness who swort
that Bellamy told him atvarious times
that Bill Morrow killed him and tina
he (Bellamy) got him to do it. Ths
defense introduced proof that contra

lamy told him that he got Bill to de
it, and also that the circumstances
which the State claimed implicated
Bellamy, were contradictory. The de

THE REVISED EIlITIoN.


The revised edition oil the Old Tes-
lament scriptures las at last been put
before the public. The profoundest
scholars OF England and America have
given their attention to the work and
have spent ten years in its consunama-
ton.
We are very much inclined 10 the
opinion that the erudite gentlemen
have been engaged in vain labor.
That il, in so far as creating substi-
tute for the translation Of the sciptures
that has been so long in use among
English speaking Protest1nts.
OF course the learned prelates EN-
ployed by King James were not iniaI-
lible, and may have fallen into errors.
The scholars of to-day probably have
some lights that were not afforded the
translators of that era. Then too, il
there is any peculiar sanctity or inspi-
ration attached to the King James
version, it would be necessary for all
the world to learn English in order to
read the word OF God.
These are all cogent reasons, but
people are not going to tolerate any
reasoning in matters pertaining to
their religion. In that particular the
most liberal minded men will be
found Bourbon. Three hundred years
of intimate association has so endear-
ed the King James version to the peo-
pie who speak the language in which
it is written that any attempt to re-
place it with another translation will
be regarded by them as little short oil
sacrilegc.

THE KxrRA SESSION..

The Governor has issued ms procla-
nation calling an extra session Of the
Legislature. It embraces eleven sub
jects to be considered, all Of which are
stated in the synopsis we publish else
where.
We are disposed TO think that his
excelIency has acted with very good
judgment in this matter. The only
criticism to which the call can be le-
ultimately subjected is its length and
the number of subjects included. But
when we come TO consider these sub
jects in detail we find that each OF
them is very important and demand
ing immediate attention, with possibly
one exception.
This is particularly true of the pleu-
ro-pneumonia bill, the Judicial redis-
tricting bill and that which relates TO
the funding OF the State debt
The revenue and appropriation bills
are, of course, of paramount import
ance, and the Governor acted wisely in
making them the first things to be
considered. That is, surprising the
Legislature will take up the various
subjects embraced in the proclamation
in the order in which the Governor
has indicated.
The registration bill is not matter
.-oi urgent necessity. 1t ought to be-
come a law; all large towns should
have fair and impartial registration
laws. But the immediate passage OF
such bill in Tennessee is not so
strongly demanded that any extra ex-
pense should be incarred for that pur-
pose. We have no patience with the
theory that the Governor should have
included this measure in his call to
uphold the backbone of the Demo
cratic party. He is the Governor of
the State, and would have no right to
administer his Office contrary to the
interest of the State for partizan pur-
poses. Then, too, it was in no way
essential to the maintainance of DEM
ocratic prestige or principles that the
registration bill be included in the
call for the extra session.
But the Governor has made this bill
a feature of his proclamation in such II
manner that there can be no possible
objection TO it. 1t comes among the
last things enumerated, and the para
graph in reference to it is worded as
follows:
To preserve the purity of elections
and prevent illegal voting in cities,
towns, taxing districts, municipal cor
porations and civil districts, having Il
voting population of 1000 or more,
without in any way impairing the
right to the elective franchise or limit
ing the just and legal. exercise thereof
by the enactment OF just, impartial
and well rounded registration law, or
by other method allowable under the
constitution, article 4, section ], to Sc
cure the freedom of elections and the
purity of the ballot-box.
Certainly no Republican member
can refuse to attend the extra session
on the ground of Directing to this
clause.

THE Legislature should give its best
efforts to the passage of Judiciary
reform bill. 1t is by far the most inn
portant matter specified in the Gov
ernor's proclamation, barring the rev.
enue and appropriation bills. BY the
passage OF such bill the tax burden
will be greatly lightened and thous-
ands of dolllIs saved the State If not
passed at this term the people must
endure for eight years longer the in
tricate, useless and expensive court
system that has so long been imposed
upon them. Such measure must be
given precedence over all things pure

pleased us. But Hillsman is personal
ly Objectionable. His only record is
that of the machine politician and

THE Nashville American talks about
"the Democratic position ON the tariff
and makes the Chicago platform the
definition of the party's attitude in
that regard. II the American will take
the tariff plank from the Democratic
platform adopted in 1884 at Chicago
and the Republican utterance on that
subject promulgated in the same city
in the same year, place them in juxta-
position and point out their difference,
it will do the public service that the
politicians failed in during the last
campaign, and perform an intellectual
feat that no other paper or person has
ever been able to accomplish. We
don't say there is no difference be-
tween the parties on the tariff, bnt we
do contend that the difference is not
shown in their platforms.

Coal at Newcastle.

Newcastle-upon-Tyne is well known
the wide world over as the great empo-
rum of the coal trade. which has been
carried on here since the days of Henry
the Third, and is popularly supposed in
the south of England to be a city peo-
pied by coal miners, and having coal
mines in full tide of work plentifully
scattered among her streets. Yet you
will rarely see a pitman there except on
market days, when they flock in from
the country round, easy to recognize by
their gait and peculiar complexion,
which is pale, yet robust and healthy
looking; while as for coal pits there is
only one within the city bounds, and
that only started work about two years
ago, after lying idle some quarter of a
century. In the neighboring country
side they are plentiful enough; in some
directions as you approach or leave the
city you will see their engine houses and
the tall skeleton framework of their
coal drawing gear, looming black against
the sky on every side. On Newcastle
Quay, the headquarters of the great
northern coal field, you will scarcely see
single piece of coal, though as for the
offices of the coal fitters-the successors
of the ancient hoastmen of the Town,
who regulated the vend of coal far back
in medieval times-their name is legion.
All down the Tyne and in the docks
you will see huge spouts projecting over
the water at the ends Of the long rail
ways or wagon-ways, which run from
the collieries sometimes miles away;
and under these spouts you will see
vessels lying, taking IN the coal for
transport to the furthest ends of the
earth. -English Illustrated Magazine.

The Story Of n Greenbnck.

The following story appears in a
late issue of The Atlanta (Ga. J
Capital:
In 1864, when a confederate camp
was located on Marietta street, an in
cident occurred which, with its sequel,
makes an interesting "reminiscences of
the days when the old Atlanta was
more of a soldiers barrack than a city.
The camp to which l allude was a gooI
way out on Marietta, and the site is
now occupied with a number of new
dwelling-houses DR.. Roy, of this
city, was then one Of the physicians of
the camp. The late Capt. Alphonse
Hurtel, of the oath Alabama, had been
placed in temporary charge of the
prison, and one day Yankee prisoner
gave him 800 greenback bill to keep,
fearing theft on the part Of other pris-
oners. Shortly afterward the prisoner
escaped, and Capt. Hurtel sent the
money to his wife in Mobile, Ala,
telling her to keep it, and if he did not
send for it, and the confederacy fell,
to use it. When Mobile surrendered,
that 500 was a godsend TO one of the
many impoverished families of the
Gulf city. And now the strange Sc
quel: Ten years after the close of the
war, one day while Capt. Hurtel was
sitting in his office, a poor and ragged
soldier walked in and asked: as this
Capt. Hurtel?" After quick glance
at the mans features, Capt. Hurtel
answered: eyes, and you are the
soldier who gave me a 500 bill in
Atlanta, Ga, during the warp" "Yes,
sir, am the soldier replied, as the
tears rolled down his cheeks, "and if
you will give me just S. Of it now
viii be thankful" A check for 500
was given him, and the man fell on
his knees and wept like a child. Once
again had the same money proven a
godsend in the hour Of bitter need.
