Those who are trying to break up the
baneful habit OF intemperance will exper
fence great benefit from the use of Prickly
Ash Bitters. Liquor deranges the system
Prickly Ash Bitters will remedy the evil re-
suits and restore the brain, stomach and
liver to healthy action, thereby strengthen
ing the will power, thoroughly cleansing and
toning up the system and removes every
faint OF disease. 1t is purely a medicine,
and while pleasant to the taste, it cannot
be used as a beverage by reason of its
cathartic properties.

THE JUDGES CENsURE.
When the Clerk had finished the reading,
Judge De Wolfe addressed the jury in terms
to the following effect:
Gentlemen OF the Jury: Before discharg-
ing you from this cause, l feel it my duty,
imposed BY a sense of the great response
bilities that rest upon me, to say to you
that | consider that in rendering this
verdict you nave been guilty OF a great
wrong. You have virtually by your verdict
granted unlimited license to all evil-minded
and malignant men to infict upon their
feIlow-men the wrong with which this man
stood charged. You are discharged from
this ase.
SENTIMENT ON THE VERDICT
County Attorney Durfee was the most
surprised mar in court by the verdict. He
said he was glad his official term would
soon end, as it would relieve him from the
duties of an office that this verdict showed
to be ~superfuous. He said he had tried
many cases, but never one il which the
evidence was clearer or more direct than
this. There was no rebuttal of the prose-
cution's evidence. The only contradictory
evidence was that of the defendant, unsup-
ported by any one else.
The feeling among the lawyers generally
is that the verdict is the greatest surprise
that has been witnessed. One gentleman
said trey might as well dispense with the
Court House entirely. Opinion on the out
side varies. The most ~sanguine expected
a light sentence at least. But while some
are a~greeably surprised by the verdict,
there are many who do not hesitate to say
that the verdict was utterly ~unwarranted
and that Martin should have been found
guilty in some degree or other.
THE JURY.
Two members OF the jury were seen after
the trial and asked how they reached their
verdict. They said two ballots were
taken. In the first eleven fo- conviction and
one blank. They thought the ~instruc.
tions of the Judge very liberal and inclin--
ing strongly towards the defendant. They
put the most implicit reliance on Mrs. Mar
tins testimony and thought that Martins
own testimony was not in the least shaken
on cross-examination. They regarded the
testimony for the prosecution as conflicting
in important particulars, especially as to
how Reardon was shot. They placed con-
siderable weight on Martins good char
acter, also, before the commission of the
deed.

The grangers in national convention
at Topeka, Kansas, think there is some
thing wrong with the tariff; that agri'
culture is not protected as much as
other industries, and that the duty on
the latter should be raised, or else il
should be lowered on the former. That
is about how it strikes a good many OF
the consumers in this country.

MERE PROBABILITIES

are not sufficient to warrant convictions;
nor is it sufficient that the greater weight
or ~preponderance of evidence supports
the indictment, nor that on tie doctrine Of
chances the defendant is probably guilty.
To warrant conviction the proof must be
go clear and conclusive that there is no
reasonable theory on which he is innocent
when all evidence in the case is considered
together. That good character is a fact to
be considered as throwing doubt on the
defendants guilt.

A DOUBT

as to whether the death Of Reardon was
caused by the bullet wound they were to
acquit him, and also il they thought the
wound was produced accidentally it was
their duty to acquit him. That a man is
not required to wait until his adversary is
ready to fire at him, but he should fore
stall any such attempt, and if in the strng-
gle ensuing it the weapon is discharged the
defendant should be acquitted. That where
the evidence is so strong as to show the
probability of gilt OF the party accused,
still if it fails to establish the guilt in man
ner and form charged beyond q reasonable
doubt then the defendant should be &C.

DEFINITION OF INSANITY

followed, which was very full and liberal to
the prisoner. The Judge told the jury that
they must determine from all the evidence
whether the defendant was insane and if SO
whether that insanity caused him to kill
Patrick Reardon if he did kill him. But
if they found beyond a reasonable doubt
that the defendant was sane and that he
became angry with the deceased for some
real or imaginary injury anu killed the de-
ceased wilIfully, deliberately, premedit-
atedly and maliclously to avenge such in
jury, then he is guilty Of murder in the first
and the jury should 80 find him by

The Bastrop Clarion enquiries as to
what has become of the F. s., N. l.
N. o. Railroad? The Monroe papers
publish reports from Gen. Rice.
Our prediction is that if that road
goes to Monroe it will leave out
WiunsLoro and Basirop both If it
make those two points it will run
through the centre Of our parish on
or near the line we drew, which is
nothing more nor less than link
between those two points, Wins
boro and Bastror The line we
drew is a straight line through
Richland parish, the ends of which
extended in a straight cou,se north
will run through Bastrop and south
through Winnsboro.
Tie railroad would have to de-
feet a long way to make Winnsboro,
Monroe and Bsstrop. We are

In Morehouse parish the Demo-

Ricliland must q made an excep-

We fear the executive committee
made great mistake in deciding no

li.ve the Arkansas plan good one.
White primaries with the two re-
ceiving the largest vote for each
Office 10 he the nominee. Then the
people have two to select from, and
in Il parish largely Democratic no
danger of a Republican success, but
in parish where half dozen candi-
dates for each Office are in the field
it is uncertain whether the Repub.
leans run in their men or not. b,
running two men for each Office We
would be able tn poll a full vote
This is the greatest objection &c
nominations. People become careles,
and indifferent. In the hill parishes
they seldom poll half the vote. The,
are white men and do not feel tina,
interest in the elections that the
colored men evincc, and are not sc
suscs ptible of being bought as the
rOlOie ell men.
