Not Popular With Thieves.

There are few, if any, WHO served in
either House of the Fifty First Congress
who did so much towards crushing out
the infamous lottery business in this
country as Hon. H. Clay Evans. He
served on the committee on post offices
and post roads in that Congress, and
gave particular attention to the propo-
sition to deny the use of the United
States mails to the lottery companies.
The Great New Orleans lottery was
rich and could afford to pay hundreds
of thousands of dollars if necessary to
defeat legislation calculated TO drive it
out of business. 1t required pluck and
perseverance to combat its forces; but
Mr.. Evans did it and succeeded. He
was ably assisted by his friend. Col. A.
G. Sharp, who at that time was Chief
Inspector of the Post Office Department.
The country owes Hon. Clay Evans a
great deal for his valuable services in
crushing out that gigantic evil.
His success in fighting against the
lottery was doubtless remembered by
the penitentiary ring in Tennessee, that
thought it had the State by the throat.
The corrupt gang knew perfectly well,
that with H. Clay Evans in the guber-
material chair, their reign was at an
end and they would not be able to sue
cessfully prosecute their campaign of
plunder; consequently they determined
to defeat him at all hazards, and see-
ing no other way to do it they directed
their tools in the legislature to steal it,
and they did. Mr.. Evans is not popu-
lar with thieves and bribe takers

How About the Governor!

Mr.. Whitthorne, in his righteous re.
sentiment of the implications of the
Ledgerwood resolution Thursday night,
said:
"Messrs Young, Morgan, Mcdowell
and Attorney General Pickle transcend
ed their duty when they sanctioned the
contract for penitentiary so much in
excess of the amount specified in the
Dill. The report said these men did
wrong, and | stand here to repeat it.
The law was very plain; it said in no
way shall it exceed certain amount"
That is all true as to the men men
TONED, but was not Gov. Turney in the
same category If even handed jus
tice be done there is no reason why he
should escape the censure meted out
to the Others. If "thc law was very
plain" a man who had served for many
years on the Supreme Court should
have known its provisions. Yet the rec
ord is that the Governor, as we'll as the
minor officials mentioned by Mr.. Whit.
thorne, sanctioned the contract for a
penitentiary much in excess of the
amount specified in the BILL"
Gov. Turney went SO far as to COM
mend this increase that was made in
his regular message to the Legislature
at the beginning of the present session.
He took an evident pride and satsfac-
tion in what had been done. Having
quoted the architects report he remark
ed, From all of which it will be seen
that the Tennessee prison will be in all
things superior to the best existing in
the United States, with much less cost"
This point is not raised in any SPITE
full spirit towards the Governor, but as
a matter Of simple truth and justice. 1t
is notright thar GovernorTurney should
escape criticism in a matter where
Others no more to blame than he is are

A Jealous Band of Robbers.

The Renos, toward the end of 1866.
began a series OF train robberies which
were carried out with such perfection
of organization, such amazing GOODNESS
and such uniform success as to attract
national attention. But while indulg.
ing in its own acts of outlawry the
Reno band strnuously objected to any
rivalry or competition on the part of
other highwaymen. A train robbery
was perpetrated on the Jeffersonville
railroad early in 1867. The Renos had
no connection with this robbery. 1t
was accomplished by two young men

SHE GOT HER POSITION.
This Young Lady Knew How to Work
With a Sensitive Official.

The session of the Legislature in
every State brings to the capitol ret.
inue of applicants for every position,
from clerk of the Senate to assistant
fireman. This year there has been an
unusually large number of people out
of work. In one of the Western drought
stricken States, where the number of
employees for the sixty days session has
been limited by law to 200, there were
no less than $500 needy applicants.
The day before the opening of the
session shy girl knocked at the door
of the Attorney Generals office.
us the Attorney General in?n she
asked, timidly.
"Yes, " said the clerk. HE will see
you when he gets through with his long
line of job hunters. Just have seat. :"
In the numerous chairs, on the office
lounge and standing were twenty or
more waiting for turn to press some
claim for position.
The Attorney General was rather a
gruff looking man, and he dismissed
each with the remark 81 can't do
anything for you. Sorry, you know,
but there are hundreds of applicants,
and each officer, every legislator, has
dozen begging for each position"
When the iimid girls turn came, she
handed the impatient looking officer
letter. She said nothing, she hardly
looked into his face.
I'm sorry, Miss c., that l can do
pothing for you. 1t was foolish for
you to come here, expecting to get
work. I'd be glad to help you if
could, but, see, it's this way, Ihave
no influence to get you a position.

as if something hurt him.

deputy with unnecessary abruptness,

Hammond, the two men escaping with
S6 900, taken from a messenger of the
Adams Express company. But their
horses had carried them only short
distance from the looted train when
they found themselves surrounded by
the formidable Renos, who had quietly
watched the robbery from a place Of
concealment, and now relieved the
robbers of their plunder.
Not content with this, and as if to
intimidate Others from like trespasses
ON their preserves, the Renos used their
influence to have their rivals arrested
for the crime by which they had profit
ed so little, and both were subsequent
ly tried, convicted and sentenced to
long terms in the Indiana penitentiary.

Your Physical Condition

needs attention at this time. If Won
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and with
out doubt there has been too much
overwork or strain on mind or body.
The course of treatment for such con
dition is plain and simple. The blood
must first be purified so that the nerv-
GUS system, and in fact all the organs
will be fed upon pure blood. Intelli-
gent people withoutnumber have testi-
fled that the best blood purifier, nerve
tonic and strength imparting medicine
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Nervousness,
loss of sleep and general debility all
vanish when Hoods Sarsaparilla is
persistently taken; in word, health
and happiness follow after taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.
