THE Buchananites in Maury are
greatly perturbed in spirit and divided
in purpose. Some OF them are Demo-
Gratis and want to hold the boys in
line; others of them are Third par
tyites and want to pull the boys out Of
line, and there are others still who
are too independent" to be classed
at all. Since the Toiler has told these
Third party men that it would be
''dupIicity" for them to vote in the
Democratic primaries, very many Of
them Soc the force Of the argument;
and the independents" say they
will not commit themselves by taking
part, and the question now is whether
the Buchanan forces can be mar
shaled for battle, or whether they
will, as they did in Montgomery, ex-
press their disapprOval by dignified
silence. And upon this h nges the
hopes of several patriots who wish to
serve their country in the next legis-
lature. In other words, the question
resolves itself to this, will Democrats
control the Democratic primaries,
or will an alliance between Demo-
Gratis and Third party men control?
In this anomalous condition OF affairs
it is passing strange that the Demo
cratic party of Maury County cannot
be aroused to action. The "duplicity"

DENIED A WRIT.
Judge Jackson Refuses to Interfere in
the King Case.
An Appeal Taken to the United sta.e
Supreme COurt-The Judge Refuses
10 Grant Stay of Sentence.

NASHVILLE, July 2S.-[SpeciaLl-
The case of II. Clay King, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged on Aug
II, for the murder of David Poston,
in Memphis, came up this morning
in the United States Circuit Court
Judge Jackson presiding, on a mo-
ton by Kings council for writ OF
habeas corpus.
The application for writ of habeas
corpOus is based on alleged IRREGULAR
ties in the trial, among which was
the visit of the jury to Arkansas
during the trial.
After much argument from law
yeIs, Judge Jackson rendered his de-
cision, refusing to issue the writ ap'
piled for.
Kings counsel appealed to the
United States Supreme Court. Judge
Jackson allowed the appeal, but re-
fused to order stay Of the sentence.
There was a great deal of argument
from both sides on the latter de eision
and the Court adjourned until 2 p. m.
to hear further discussion.

WE have asked the Current several
port Judge Turney as the nominee of
the Democratic convention. The
Current has been posing as a Demo-
cratic paper, and we thought the
Democrats had right to an answer
to that question. The Current re-
mains silent, however. We take its
silence to mean an admission that it
will not, and we regard it as a mat
ter of some Importance, rejecting
as it does the sentiment and course OF
ACTON of very many, perhaps a
majority, of Mr.. Buchanan's friends.
The Toiler says this is "duplicity,"
and we agree with the TOiler. The
ToiIer says those who will not vote
for Judge Turney, if he gets the NOM
nation, shoIld not participate in the
Democratic primaries; and we agree
with the Toiler. We say deliberate
ly that no man, with the present
lights before him, can be blind to the
political situation. The Alliance of
to-day is secret political organiza-
lion, used to disorgaLize and if pos
sible disrupt the Democratic party.
Mr.. Buchanan is the candidate of
that secret society and is lending his
name to the injury of the Democ-
racy. These facts are too plain for
denial, and those who support Mr..
Buchanan must know that they are
aiding and abetting the enemies of
the Democratic party.

THE MITCHELL TRIAL.
The Case Closed and VIII Go to the jury
Friday.


Friday.
MEMPHIS, July Is -ESpeciall.- The
testimony in the Alice Mitchell case
was closed yesterday. Council on
both sides submitted The case with
out argument, and Judge Dubcsa will
charge the jury tomorrow morning.
When Miss Mitchell, the defendant,
was placed upon the stand there was
great craning of necks by the au-
dfence to obtain view OF her. she
suffered no embarrassment, but an-
swered all questions coolly and
nationally. Said she had known
Freda ever since she could remember.
The defendant told of her following
Freda, and 4 the latter winking at
her with her right eye, which signi-
| fed: II love you She told this
coolly enough, but when she came to
| following Freda down the hill saying
she wa Ited to see her once more, she
burst lnto tears.
Then followed a most remarkable
scene, unparalleled in court annals
| perhaps. This young girl, withou.
| displaying the slightest remorse or
| even nervousness of manner, told
down to the most trivial detail the
story of how and why she murdered
! Freda Ward. She said: ~ took the
razor out while going down the nil!
towards the boat. When 1 reached
Freda cut her with the razor. AS
cut her throat she tried to say some
thing. 1 intended to cut Freda's
throat aud then mine, but her sister
10 made me mad by striking me with
an umbrella, so, after slsshing at 10,
1 followed Freda and cut her again.
ALI wanted to do was to cut her 80
as to kill I loved her better than
anyone in the world" She expressed
a desire to die now that Freda was

A COMMITTEE of Third parry lCte
from Montgomery County, waited on
Governor Buchanan yesterday and
invited him to run as an independ-
ent candidate for Governor. The
conference was behind barred doors
and lasted several hours. What WAS
said is not known by the general
public, but one of the committee
said, after coming out of the room,
that the Governor listened attentive
~ to their complaints against the
Democratic organization and heard
their request With patience, but
made no answer. The Governor is
evidently weakening. Some weeks
ago he said he would positively not
run against the Democratic nominee.
Now he smiles and says nothing.
This is worse than we had thought
of the Governor. So far he has only
Numbered, but we very much fear he
will prove a traitor.

HERE Is A SMART GROCER.
A Novel and Highly Successful Way (
Secure and Retain Custom.

A Novel and Highly Successful Way to
Secure and Retain Custom.
An enterprising grocer has discovered
q novel and highly successful way to
secure and retain the custom of all the
servant girls in his neigbbOrhoOd. He
bought at the price of waste paper q
large quantity of yellow covered 'royal
dreadfuls" and uses the single sheets
for wrapping purposes in such a man
ner as will enable the girl after certain
amount of trade to secure the complete
story. Some very strange dialogues can
be heard in the store. The following
will suffice for examples:
ga loaf of bread, please, and wrap it
in "The Orphand's Woe" page MOB"
ga lamp chimney and give me the
"Blind Mans Curse" third sheet.
"Oh my dear, sir!" pleads another
girl, couldn't you give me another copy
Our dog has eaten the other.
'Why, how was that?
"Well; you see, sir, M missus did not
know,the value of the story and wrap
ped some scraps in it for the dog, and
ne swallowed the whole lot, paper and
ALL"
"Here, miss, is your soap" continues
the grocer, turning to a third customer.
And please observe the wrapper. 1t
contains the thrilling story of The
Crimson Stain; or, The Marble Bride
You shall have the continuation when
you come again." And turning to his
assistant, he continues: "Here, Hans,
mark down the lady Tor THE Crimson
STAIN second part. She has bought
the soap."-N. Y. Herald.

luton was offered by L. J d. Padgett and
adopted, tO-wit:
BE it resolved, that Tia, Democratic
committeeman in each civil district i'll

ton on the 4th day Of August, 1882, at

bernatorial convention, to he held ut
Nashville on the 9th day OF August next
and that the delegates Instructed at that
time meet at the court house in Column
bia on the Monday following, to organize
by electing chairman, etc.
1t was further resolved that on the
same day the committeeman should
open and hold, at or near the same place,
during the same hour, Democratic
primary election to select delegates to a
convention to be held in Columbia on
the Monday following, to select Demo-
cratic candidates for the State Senate
and the representatives to the Lower

In obedience to the above resolutions

elections in conformity with and for the
purposes expressed III the resolutions
| adopted by the committee.
Since the meeting of the committee

Democratic chairlnCn of this nOatCrIal
district, to decide the manner of chOOs-
ing a candidate for Floater. vt this con-
ference il was determined that cOEFen-

Judges and clerks to hold the elections
they choose Democrats representing
both Turney and Buchanan factions. /
make this suggestion in the interest OF
no man or faction, but for the sake oil

The defense in the Alice Mitchell
case at Memphis are making out u
strong case of insanity. When such
experts as DIR. Calender give a pos
tive opinion that the defendant is
undoubtedly and unquestionably in
sane, the jury, when they are told OF
the high standing and long eXpe-
rience of the witness, must be i'm
pressed and influenced by his testi-
mony. If the poor creature is crazy
God has certainly punished heI
enough already.

THE technicalities, the suSterfuges
and the "infiuences" brought to bear
in the King case make an honest
seeker after justice tired. The
common people will not respect
law so long as it is used to
defeat justice. A disrespect for
the law naturally produces a dis
regard for it. Those who do not
respect the law do not respect the
courts, and have as little or less
respect for the profession. The law
yer, therefore, who uses his
knowledge to defeat the purposes Of
the law, who resorts to technicalities
to defeat justice, lie untrue to his pro-
fesslon and himself, and brings re.
proAoh upon both.

LAMLEssNEss,

The people of Tennessee are living
under as little protection from the law
as did the early settlers when the
wild red men of the woods were all
about them.
The criminal statute law of Ten
nessee in the highest Offenses is
deab letter.
Have our readers stopped to think
how nearly this is true, and what
condition il leaves society in?
Think of tbs crimes-murders,
mobs, defalcations, fOrgeries-com-
mitted in Tennessee, and then think,
if you can, of the name of any man Of
wealth or influence who has been
punished according to his Offense.
In Putnam County where a des-
perado shot down q fellow man in
cold blood, the Sheriff acknowledges
he is powerless to act and unable to
raise a posse to assist him. The out
law aud his friends are such terror
and such q power IN Putnam County,
that neither the law nor the officers
OF the law dare modest them.
At Coal Creek, where Gov. Buch-
anan keeps a standing army as a use
less expense to an already uvertaxed
people, a)miner knocks down
soldier and TObs him OF his pistol.
Hundreds see it and cheer the act
Tue rObbar hides his stolen property
and when the soldiers and officers
undertake to recover il and arrest the
thief, they are Missed at, insuitad and
threatened. When the arrest II
finally made, a mob organizes and
demands the release of the prisoner
and the demand is promptly complied
with.
In Maury County we have had oul
mObs, and the leaders, though well
known, were never arrested. Maury
County now has It's bands of white
caps, who have taken men from theil
homes and whipped them, and who
have visited other homes and terror
lied over defenseless women and
children, and left their coward threats
behind them.
Tue leaders of these ruffians nc
doubt could be spotted and captured
if the proper effort was made, bu
instead they are allowed to go Scot
free.
All this goes to show the state o
anal hy existing in Tennessee. Ant
all this comes for timid treatment o

good government depends entirel.
