Coming out From Among Them

We are informed that ESQ. Henry
Surratt and his son. Pinkney Sur
ratt. of Sandy Mush township, who
have always voted the republican
ticket, openly declare they will
henceforth vote with and for demo.
Gratis. They are disguised with the
utter hypocrisy and corrupt pur>
poses, specially their refusal to re-
duce taxation. Several others in
the same locality who have always
voted the republican ticket declare
their purpose to vote the democratic
ticket this year, from Cleveland
down. We get such news as this
from every section of this, and adj
joining counties. Let all good men
who have been misled into voting
for the republican party come oul
from the concern, and stand by
their neighbors in sustaining honest
and economical government.

Messrs. Crawford and rollins

Democratic and Republican electors
for this district, are among the people,
and Mr.. Rollins, with all his adroit-
ing and reeklessness, finds Mr.. Craw-
ford too much for him. A gentleman
who heard the, discussion at Burnsville
informs us that Mr.. Crawford's
speech was truly a magnificent pre-
sentation of democratic principles and
purposes and exposure of republican
hypocrisy and expressions. We learn
also from Marion, where they spoke
Friday to large audience Mr.. Craw>
ford's victory over the Major was
complete. Democrats of both coun-
ties are more united and enthused
than they have been for several years
and all were greatly pleased with Mr.
Crawford. His straight forward,
honest method of dealing with the
people and the issues Of the day
have made strong and most favor
able impression.

The street RaiIwar.

At a meeting of the Board Of
Aldermenton Friday evening, on
the suggestion that the corpora
tors of the street railway might
eVade by technicality fulGlment
of the contract in all it's particu-
larities, it was ordered that they
appear before the Board atiits
next meeting to answer whether
they propose to carry out the exs
pectations ofthe citizens In re-
gard to q full railway service, or
confine themselves to a shorter
and less s8ce eeptable ronte. We
suggest no double dealing; but
express the hope that a long
cherished, and it was hoped,
adopted system would be carried
out to its full extent. A full ser
vice is what is expected and
nothing less will be satisfactory.

Hon. w. l.. Trenholm,

The distinguished comptroller of
the currency at Washington, was in
the city yesterday, on his return from
a most pleasant trip of recreation
through our Western counties. He
is delighted with our country, people
and climate. Mr.. Trenholm at"
tracted the attention of President
Cleveland by his very able, and con-
servative address delivered in At
lanta on the silver question, and an
address delivered before the bankers
association on financial matters the
succeeding year. Mr.. c., at once
recognized him as man of sound
and intelligent judgment on currency
matters, and rendered him the posi-
ton he now fills SO ably and satisfac
torily. We were pleased to meet
him in our city.

First White Frost.

Yesterday morning at sunrise the
ground was white with frost, the mercury
standingat 35. Vegetation is probably not
injYrediexcepti in higher ground. We hope
but cannot expect, that the same degree
of cold extended down into the infected
districts. At all events, we think that
farther spread of disease in Alabama and
Mississippi is checked, and that the
panic is ct an end. Florida can expect
NO such relief for many weeks to come,
though We may look for less melancholy
reports from Jacksonville.

II was rotten, to the core. Rotten In the
hive itself with mouldy woodwork, tumbling
brick walls and crazy stairs, and rotten in
the tenants, who were cutthroats, thieves,
sharps of every kline and q scattering of the
"~gentler SEX" not 80 much gentler after all.
A stranger who got into this labyrinth and
had to find his way round would sooner have
had q guide than trust to his own skill. But
for somebody who knew the place it was still
more of a labyrinthine winding. There were
big breaks in the walls, so that a person
| could make his way through q dozen houses
and stray around under cover for quite a dis
trict. A man could work through with q
little STOPPING and squeezing from Canal to
Spring street.
As the whole lot of tenants were In league,
1t furnished q good lurking place for q Grim
inal. A man could stay successfully hidden
In this honeycomhed raft of houses for days,
AND d criminal who got in here could escape
detection for weeks.
AL the sympathies Of this beautiful neigh
borhood were with O criminal. The hands
of its habitues were against every one, and
the hand of tho police was pretty often
against them.
A case came up In which Rotten Row"
played q conspicuous part. 1t was a shelter
and for several days q safe refuge for a man
whom the law wanted to have a brief inter-
view with. The task Of capturing the man,
who for reasons of his own was not anxious
to have this interview with the law, fell on
me. He was a criminal who had fed to Rot
ten Row =" for sanctuary.
One night a respectable looking man was
carted of in an ambulance from one of the
downtown streets to the hospital. He was q
respectable middle-aged man who had been
kept out late by some business and was max.
ing his way through the street, a pretty quiet
one at that time of the night, for it was
nearly /, when he heard some one behind
him quickening his steps as if to overtaks
him.
There was no one in sight before him. He
glanced around to see who the person was
The only other wayfarer was q stoutly bull
young fellow with broad shoulders and
bristling mustachc. He had a soft felt hal
slouched over his face, doubtless for the pur
pose of concealing his features.
Altogether, this young man was not a very
attractive specimen of humanity. He didn'
look like a Sunday-school superintendent
nor even like IN honest laborer who drew hi
wages regularly Saturday night and tool
them home to his wife to have her use them a
she saw good in getting clothes for the chill
dren or in paying the grocer's bill for the
family provisions.
No. He didn't look like that kind of q man
He walked too much with his shoulders
There was q roll in his gait and his hand

SITTING ON COMsToCK

ANTHONY CoMsrooK's attempt to put petit
coats and chest protectors on the statues and
TO court-plaster the pictures in Philadelphia,
has come to grief.
Frying ANTHONY OBTAINED copies Of photo
graphs imported for artists use by represent
ing himself, 1t was alleged, as an artist. The
prosecuting attorney said that the pictures
were q of the highest state of art" and that
''any man who says they are obscene ought
TO 60 to o less civilized community than Phil
adelphia." The. Judge held that nude pic
lures are moi necessarily lewd or indecent"
All of the accused dealers were acquitted.
The Society for the Prevention of Vice has
legitimate good work enough to do. 1t
should not bring itself into contempt by at
tempting to suppress or to emasoulate art.
