A news item from Mayfield, KY,
gives an account of a negro being
struck with Ratchet in the hands of
another negro and says, "the blade
was buried to the handle in the right
side of the head and laid the skull
open" Then the dispatch adds that
the victim "lived only few hours"
The inference is that if the Ratchet
had gone only an inch or two into the
negroes head, he would probably have
been all right in a few hours.

The newspapers think they have
at last discovered Mr.. Wattersons al
legged dark horse" for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President next
year, and they say it is Governor
Johnson of Min, nesota. Mr.. Waiter
son does not deny the soft impeach-
ment, but rather seems inclined to
favor it. He says editorially:
The Courier-Journal has new
er said that it has a Presi-
Dental candidate. 1t has not
designated Governor Johnson,
of Minnesota, nor authorized
any one to speak for it, But
since so many of our esteemed
contemporaries will it SO, so
be it."
The Democratic newspapers of the
country speak very appToyingiy Of
Mr.. Johnson. He seems to combine
the elements necessary for a Presi-
Dental candidate. A short biography
of the gentleman appears on the
first page of The Herald to-day.
