After the ladies emerged from
the Commissioners cottage they
did not appear to be very enthusi-
astic. A few words uttered by Mr..
Blount dampened their hopes. It
is reported that he gave them to
understand that he did not have
the power to restore deposed mon
archs. A reporter of the Hawaiian
Star saw the Commissioner who
spoke of the matter in this way:
1 accepted the memorial as I do any
other fact contributing to information
in reference to the condition OF things
in the Hawaiian Islands. L do not
mean to be understood as indicating
any line of conduct to be pursued by
the President, but only that facts pre-
scented by persons connected with the
several parties found in the Islands
would be gathered and reported as a
matter of information to the home
government. I have always declined
to commit the Government of the
United States to any line of conduct
in relation to affairs in these Islands.

SEVERAL resolutions have been
introduced in the general assembly
FOR the appointment of committees
to investigate the fee system as
practiced at the State capitol. Ii
the general assembly will abolish
the fee system and pay officers reg
ular salaries, covering the amount
received from the fees into the pub
lie treasury, it will merit the thanks
of the people. Allardt Gazette.
TREASURER HOUSE confessed in a
card that his salary and perquisites
for the past two years have aggre-
gated over $4,000. Out of these
funds he has had to pay out about
$1,000 for expenses, leaving a net
amount of something over 10000
This kind of thing is an outrage OF
the taxpayers of the State. A fix.
ed salary of $4,000 or less would bt
ample pay. If the present genera
assembly sn'tinaugurate much
needed reform in this particular the
people will be sadly disappointed

BITTER RACE FEELING.

of affairs. A few nights ago, while
her sons were from home, two ne
groes went to the farmhouse of
Mrs. Jones, a widow, broke into
the dining-room and helped them
selves. They cursed and abused
Mrs Jones, and tried to get into
her room, but failed. Through a
broken window she recognized one
of them as the son Of a negro in the
neighborhood, and when her sons
returned home she told them of hen
treatment. The following night a
body Of masked men went to the
home of the negro and demanded
him at the hands of his father. A
volley of shot was the answer. The
mob then riddled the house Will
bullets. The negro was shot in the
throat, but escaped to the bottom
and remained on a stump all night
almost naked, surrounded by water
The boy was taken and hung up
but let down, whipped till almos
dead, and left in the woods. Tn,

asked a white neighbor to sell hi

war was expected last night. TIL

"Several years ago., said Jemi-

drink worse than | ever did in all
my past life. | walked into sa-

down l held up my finger to the
barkeeper, remarking that the

keen sword as sharp as a razor, and
almost before l knew it my finger
was closed in the cash drawer. /

Dresden Enterprise.l
Governor Buchanan, i'll his re-
firing message, which is lengthy,
and abounds in the information on
State affairs customary in such doc
uments, takes occasion to make a
parting shot at our election laws.
The Nashville American scores a
good point by calling attention to
the fact that Mr.. Buchanan, as a
Democrat, is on record as strongly
in favor of our present system Of
regulating and purifying the elect
i've franchise, but as an Alliance
man he now joins with the Repub-
licans in demanding their modifica-
ton. In the recent campaign that
gruesome coalition known as the
Republican-populiteco combine made
fight for the repeal of these laws,
and they ought to know that the
large majority that showed the ny
Bird under means that the people
are in favor of the restrictions that
have been placed around the ballot
box. If the Republicans have a
large element thatis too ignorant to
master the simple matter of casting
a ballot under our progressive sys-
TEN, it is only misfortune to the
Republican party, and is no argu-
ment against the inherent virtue Of
the great election reform Inaugural
ted and carried out by the Demo
cratic party. Instead Of repeating
our present laws, we must make
them of more general application.

a Tennessee Law that Protects the villain
Instead of the Victim.

Instead OF the Victim.
Nashville Bamerl
We invite the attention of the
members Of the general assembly
to the article by "a Tennessee
Mother" in to-day's Banner enti-
tied "Protection to Girls" In this
State the "age Of consent" is placed
at 10 years. This law is shame
and an outrage. It shields the Ii
bidinous scoundrel who takes adj
vantage Of innocence and makes it
practically impossibleto punish the
seducerin Tennessee. A girl is not
allowed to dispose Of any property
interest until she reaches the age Of
eighteen. AS minor she is pro-
tected in her property rights from
designing rascals and swindlers, but
in her most sacred possession Of her
virtue, without which all other pos
sessions are worthless, she is left alb
solutely without the protection Of
law. "a Tennessee Mother" is right
in her plea for justice. The law as
it stands protects the villain who
beguiles innocence forum under the
guise of love, or wrecks the dearest
hopes Of womanhood by taking adj
vantage of helplessness and pow
erty. A law which gives immunity
to the seducer is a blot upon the
State which should be removed as
soon as possible.

"Not so with Taylor; instead of
sleeping he was wide awake, and,
unlike his opponent from the boys
of West Tennessee, he knew the
mountaineer, his habits and preju-
dices, and he was not long in devils
ing a plan to get ahead of his bed
fellow. SO he quietly arose hur-
riedly dressed himself, and with
the stealth of cat slipped from
the room.
1T was 8 o'clock when Hawkins

McMurray. Onentering the house
they askedfor her husband, butwere
told he was not at home, whereupon
they proceeded to ransack the house
IN search Of him. Mrs McMurray
was then asked if she knew any
thing Of her husband stealing hogs.
She denied all knowledge of such,
which, however, did not satisfy the
men, and Selling her they tied her
hands and feet. They then strip
ped her and threatened to whip her
il she did not confess the crime her
husband was suspected of. Two of
the brutes we're in the act of whip
ping her when an alarm from the
pickets, which, it seems, were sta
toned near by, was given, and the
scoundrels hastily fed, leaving Mrs.

ANECDOTES OF Jour BOB"
How He Carried Republican County in
His Race Against Hawkins.

Tennessee politics to-day, and a
man who has made himself famous
by his eloquence, wit, and quaint
humor, is Ex-Governor Robert L.
Taylor. He has once represented
his district in Congress, and was
twice elected chief executive of the
Commonwealth. He was recently
a candidate for the United States
Senate. AS governor he was Sc
verely criticized by the press for
what they termed his "abuse Of the
pardoning power" and it was no
common thing to see an editorial
in some Of the dailies in which he
was censured for pardoning some
young fellow for petit larceny or
committing the death sentence of a
murderer to Imprisonment for life.
During his canvass for governor
for the second term his Republican
opponent was the Hon. Sam Haw-
kins, Of Carroll County, probably
the ablest, and, without doubt, the
most popular representative of his
party in the State.
"They had an appointment at a
remote town in the mountains, and
in county in which the Republi-
cans had safe majority. The
town being some distance from
the railroad, and the livery facili-
ties limited, it became necessary for
them to make the trip in the same
buggy. On account of bad roads
and a sudden cold snap darkness
overlook them and they were oblig-
ed to accept the Inequalities of a
farmer who lived in about three
miles Of their destination.
"The two distinguished guests
made themselves known to their
host, who, by the way, was the lead
ing Republican Of the county, and
they were especially honored by be-
ing assigned to the front room,
which was comfortably and neatly
furnished, but in which there was
onlyone bed. Beingworn out from
a long and tedious journey over the
rough mountain road, it was not
long after supper when the candi-
dates said goodnight, and in few
minutes afterward Democracy and
Republicanism were sound ASLEEP
and literally verifying the old say
ing that politics make strange bee
fellows
