Committee to Visit Washington.

The Arsenal Committee appointed
by the citizens mass-meeting some
weeks ago have not been idle. They
have Investigated the present sratus
OF the Arsenal and the best means of
advancing its interests. They have
memorla lied Congress as they we're
instructed to do aud have heard from
Gtn. Flagler, the Chief Of 0 dnance,
and Col. n. n. Cox They have
learned that there is very little hope
of securing additional appropria-
ions at this term Of Congress but are
devising plans, for pressing our
claims before future sessions Of that
b dy.
Gen. Flagler thinks there is only
one more hope Of securing further
allowances at the present session.
This is TO press our claims before the
Senate appropriations committee at
the very last moment. a committee
has breu appointed to visit Washing
ton tue nj idle of next week for that
purpose and for the purpose Of urging
Gen. FlsgleT to send more army
stores to fill up the Arsenal store
house The latter object pertains to
Gen. Flagler only. Congress has
no. hing to do vito it,
The committee will probably wait
until after the inauguration before
presenting their PATTON to him
They will also consul him about the
future Of the Arsenal and initis e
systematic means for keeping the
Institution before Congress.
Co. Cox will heartily cooperate in
all our efforts. Our assistance will be
oi great service to him. The COM
mittee appointed to visit Washing
ton consists Of Jaa. A. Smiser, A. S.
James; F. d Lander, r. n. Jones
A. b. Rains, Sam Holding and A. c.

The Mt. Pleasant Orphanage.

The trustees OF the property known
as the Mt. Pleasant Female College,
at Mt. Pleasant, have agreed to con-
vey it to the Presbyterian Synod Of
Tennessee for an Orphan Asylum.
There Is house and an acre or so OF
ground to which it is expected to add
more land. The Synod will take the
property and spend several thousand
dollars in improving it. There seems
some doubt, however whether the
present trustees, under the terms Of
their trust, have right to convey the
property for any other than educs-
tionRl purposes. The legislature will,
therefore, be asked to pass an act
diVesting the title to the property out
Of the present trustees and investing
it in the proper officers Of the Synod.
The change would be of great benefit
to Mt. Pleasant and there is no doubt
that it will be made.

In the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court reached the
Maury County criminal docket last
Monday, and the cases from our
court were disposed Of as follows:
State VS.. Joe Greenfield, appeal dis
missed and remanded for judgement;
State vs. Norman Armstrong and
Clifton Harris, affirmed; State VS..
Moses Davis, affirmed; State VS.. John
Robinson, alias Henry Battle, appeal
dismissed and rsmAnded for judge
meut; State vs. Dennis Vaughn,

versed and nOllied; State vs. Yves
Hunter, alias Jones, heard; State vs..
Sam Ridley, heard.
John Robinson, Yves Hunter, Sam
Ridley, Andrew Cox and Dennis
Vaughn, all of them colOred except
the last mentioned, were before the
Court. Sheriff RsgsdAle took them
to Nashville Wednesday morning.
On Tuesday the following opinions
were rendered as to those Of the
defendants whose cases were not dis
posed Of Monday.
Wesley Hunter, cOlOred, vs. State.
The defendant was convicted OF
assault, etc, and sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary. When the
case was called the defendant made
affidavit that he could prove material
facts by an absent witness, VIM.
Edmonds, and for this reason asked
for q continuance, which was refused,
The Court thought this was case
where a continuance should have
been granted, and for this reason
reversed the judgment and renAnded
the case.
Sam Ridley VS.. State. Ridley was
indicted for larceny and receiving
stolen property. The prosecutor
wife lost $40 bill and it was found
by two women and after the prosecu
tor had demanded its return and the
women refused they were arrested
Later Ridley was arrested and thu
money found in his possession. HI
was convicted and sentenced to fOu
months in the work-house. Tht
proof showed that Ridley knew TIT
owner of the money and the verdic
was affirmed.
Dennis Vaughn vs. State. Vaughn
and two others were charged will
burglary. Vaughn was cOnvicte,
upon the evidence of one of hi
accomplices. The court thought thi
was not sufficiently corrobOrstive Z
warrant a conviction and reverseu
the judgment.

During the boom in iron stocks a
year or more ago Mrs. J. II. Long
withdrew $3.50 which she had in a
building and loan association and
with seven others bought up a block
of mining stock. A short time ago
the property was leased for thirty
years for $50, 900 year, and the por-
tion which each of the investors draws
out is S6.250 year. la case that over
100000 tons Of ore is taken out in any
one year a royalty of 80 cents a ton
for the excess production is to be paid.
This will give this excellent family a
handsome thing for the remainder of
their lives. and their Mankato friends
Will rejoice in their good fortune.

A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.

Chas. Leisner, who was last week
sentenced to ninety days imprison-
ment in the county jail on an old
charge of drunkenness, for which the
sentence had been suspended, We S
brought before Judge Severance at
ten o'clock Monday upon writ
of habeas corpus, which had been Sc
cured by his attorney, w. r. Geddes,
and which was served upon Sheriff
Glynn by Coroner Shoemaker, who
alone has authority to serve papers
upon the sheriff. The ground upon
which it was sought to secure L. is
ner's release was that the municipal
court has no power to suspend SEN
tence, and that in this case, the SEN
tence being suspended upon good be-
havior, evidence should have been in
PRODUCED to show that LeiSner had
misbehaved, whereas the charge of
disordsrly conduct upon which he
mad this time been arrested had been
withdrawn. The case was argued and
the court took it under consideration
until five O'Clock this afternoon.

THERE is but little question but
that Mr.. Cleveland offered Gov. Boies,
of Iowa, the Secretaryship Of the De-
partment of Agriculture, and that it
was declined. Many of the friends of
the Governor think he made mis-
take in so doing. His ambition is to
get into the United States Senate,
