Indictment and Defens

indictment ana D0I0nSSs
THE HERALD publishes on the first
page the condensed statement of Mr.
McDOwell's answer to the charger
preferred against him by the Ameri-
can some two weeks since.
They speak tor Themselves, and We
do not hesitate to say, the gentleman
has produced very strong proof in
rebuttal; proof that will do much to
confuse his accusers and to sustain
himself before the masses.
However, in the editorial OF the
American, which we also publish,
that paper states very positively that
it has some heavily charged guns At
yet unfired. What this new proof IL
aud what effect it will have on the
case, of course we as yet have no
means OF knowing. II the American
can prove what it says 1t can-and
what we have no doubt 1t thinks ii
can, then Mr.. Mcdowell will be in
a worse strait than before, his Of
ftense being of q more recent date
and quite as reprehensible.
II Mr.. Mcdowell IL the Christian
gentleman and simon pure democrat
his witnesses claim be is, then all
good men will rejoice that he can
prove himself such. But, while he
has done much to disabuse the public
mind of the damning charges resting
against him, it would be going too far
to say that he has cleared himself.
For, by far the greater number Of the
Americans witnesses stand unim-
peached-and we presume unim-
peachable-else Mr.. Mcdowell would
certainly have attacked their char
acter. 1t is true he contradicts them
all by introducing other witnesses to
contrary facts. Aud so far as the
public can know the witnesses on one
side are as creditable as those on the
other. AS the case now stands he is
sOundly denounced by, seemingly,
about half the community where he
formerly lived, and warmly defended
by the other half. 1t would be little
satisfaction, we take it, to an honor
able man, to visit his old home on an
Investigating tour, and learn for him.
self that half the people believed him
an unmitigated scoundrel and the
other half thought him a Christian
gentleman. Some very apparently
% ouo, shrewd, slick citizens have just
such regulations, however.
IL his statement of the case Mr..
Mcdowell makes the point, and a
good one it is. that to impeach a part
of any witness statement is to dis
credit it all. This is the law of evil
dence, and is good logic. According
to It., when he attacks the character
and standing of z. w. Carmack, in
Maury county where he used to live,
or in Davidson county VIII ere he lives, |
or in the state OF Tennessee, he dis !
credits himself, for Mr.. Mcdowell |
knows that for all that the word |
{ honor" implies, no man in Tonnes |
see stands higher than does the editor |
OF the American.
In behalf of q county that claims !
with pride the citizenship of young
man who has distinguished himself
for his brillIancy, his courage and his
unswerving fidelity to every trust re-
posed In him, we dare Mr.. Mcdowell
to make one specific charge against
the truth, the honor or the democracy
OF E. w. Carmack.
There will perhaps be several more
chapters before the discussion IL
closed, and the HERALD will give
them impartially % they come.

THERE is great excitement in the
East Tennessee mining regions. Al
Briceville, a little mining hamle,
near Coal Greek, in Anderson County,
forty cOnvicts were taken charge of by
free miners, marched to the East Ten
nessee, Virginia & Georgia Railway
depot and placed on board a car and
told they must leave. The trouble
grew out of a difference about wages.
The free miners, 80 strong, armed
with Winchester rifles, surrounded
the convict camp and taking the con-
vlcts from the guards sent them to the
depot, four miles away; from there
they were taken to Knoxville and the
Governor notified. Governor Buch-
anan ordered out the Chattanooga
and Knoxville militia and him
self repaired to the scene OF action
Further developments are awaited
with interest.

A Scene Of Horror.

Strohschneider, the aeronaut and
rope-walker, has been giving perform
ances at Stockerau, near Vienna. On
New Years day he carried Doctor o.
Laws on his back along a rope 100
feet long, one end of which was at
tached to the church steeple. A few
days afterwards the posters announc-
ed that Strohschneider would ascend
IN a balloon accompanied by Herr
Pramper, the respected landlord Of
the "White Rose" .:.....
Although it was known that the 30
lice had forbidden Pramper, who has
a numerous family, to take part in
the perilous performance, large
crowd assembled at the hour fixed for
the ascent, and vociferously applaud
eel the popular landlord when he ap-
peared on the scene, in defiance of the
authorities, to fulfil his share of the
programme.
Amid loud huzzas from the popu.
e . Il
lace who thronged the streets and
squares, the balloon rose with Herr
Pramper, who sat on the trapeze be-
side Strohschneider, with the speed Of
an arrow into the icy cold upper air.
Two or three spectators declared that
the landlord turned pale at the start:
nevertheless he waved his hat, bywav
of salute
General CONSERVATION, however, fell
on the crowd, when it became evident
that the two aeronauts were engaged
in lively dispute at that giddy
height. From words they came to
blows. Then all ola sudden the land
lord dropped headlong from the terri
BILE elevation to which the balloon had
by this time assembled,
A cry Of horror escaped from the
crowd as they hurried to the SPOT
where they expected to find mine host

ed limbs But imagine their astonish.

they found q large doll or manikin

A Method to Determine Death,

The French Academy ofSciences ten
or fifteen years ago offered prize OF
$1,000 for the discovery OF some
means by which even the ineNperien-
ced might at once determine whether in
a given case death had ensued or not.
A physician obtained the prize. He
had discovered the following we'll
known phenomenon
If the hand of the suspected dead
person is held towards a candle or
other artificial light with the fingers
extended and one touching the other,
and one looks through the spaces be-
tween the fingers towards the light,
there appears a scarlet red color
where the fingers touch each other,
due to the blood still circulating, it
showing itself through the tissues
which have not yet congested. When
life is entirely extinct the phenomenon
of scarlet space between the fingers at
once ceases. The most extensive and
thorough trials established the truth
of this observation.-Tit Bits.
