WILL TURN BACKWARD.

From this distance the trial of Sena-
tor CarInack's assassins looks like
brace game fixed up to set the Coopers
and John Sharp free. If the bad-look-
ing features of that trial are not speed
lily eliminated and an honest endeavor
indicated to keep the perjurers off Of
the jury public scandal will be the
result, but the assassins are fighting to
save their necks, and it may be ex-
pected that those who garbled the first
news story sent out over the country
will buy jurors, suborn evidence and
do anything to save the murderers.
The eyes of the world are on the trial
and those who are accessories before
and after the fact. of whom there are
several both of high and low degree
and if the conspirators contrive to
turn the murderous conspirators loose
on the community it will turn Tennes-
see into the backward scale hundred
years and give warning to every citi-
zen that the law is mock and farce
and that each man must be his own
defender and protector. - Gallatin,

The extremists of the Tennessee leg
islature are acting as though they had
found 3 means to legislate away the
liberties of men hitherto unknown to
the world. Organic laws and bills of
rights, however, were made for just
such emergencies as now exist in Ten
nessee. Fanaticism, bigotry and pol
itical perfidy, all linked together, can
not destroy one jot or little of man
hood rights guaranteed under the con-
stitution; the more reckless, the more
defiant of public sentiment the COM
bination becomes the easier will be its
overthrow when the honest, fair-mind-
ed voters of Tennessee come to pass
judgement upon its acts. Go it, boots,
while you can; all of your sort who
have figured in the past have learned
by a melancholy experience what it is
to be yoked to persecution and injus'
tice. You'll get yours in due time. =

Yes, Maud, the ground hog came out

needn't think of wearing anything but
winter clothing for six more long
weeks, for Mr.. Ground Hog declares by
turning his back on things and going
back into his hole that hot baked beans

 Springfield, H., Jan. 12-The two Houses of the General Assembly failed to get together today upon the wording of the resolution that is to bring the two bodies to canvass the returns Of the last election. and with things contIn- uing in an unsettled state. both the Senate and the House adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 Each House passed resolution but each provides for a different plan of procedure. The House resolution pro- vided for canvass in joint session, while the Senate plan provides that that body simply attend as witnesses to the ministerial act of opening the returns and declaring the result, without con. yening in joint session.
 If the members of the House organiz- ation are sincere in their declaration that there is no anterior plan under way to file or to start the Governorship contest while the two bodies are to- rether for the purpose of making a canvass, then the only question left to he determined is the plan. under which the procedure shall be had.
