The proposition of Mr.. HUTCHISsON
yesterday evening that the House, hav-
ing already adopted the resolutions OF
impeachment, was estopped from taking
further action, was as himsy as 1t was
untcnablc. No one knows better than
Mr.. HUTCHINSON the absurdity of the
proposition, and it was only thrown in,
very inseniously, it is true, to divert at
tention from the splendid and
conclusive argument OF Mr.. JACK
son. If the House has impeachcd the
Auditor and Treasurer how is the im-
parchment to be proceed with in the SEN
ate until the articles of Impeachment
and specifications are adopted by
the House? These the House
have now under consideration, and the
motion Is to indefinitely postpone t"7her
consideration of this subject. Admitting
the analogy between Il grand jury and
the House to be correct, will any onepre-
tend to say that an indictment is an in
dictment until offence is clearly and
specifically set forth in the instrument
and signed by tbs grand inquest? Has
this been done in this case? Most assur-
enlv not. And this case cannot go to
the Senate until the articles of impeacn
ment are adopted and properly certified
TO the Senate for further action thereon.


As evidence of the fact that the posi-
ton OF the gentleman is untenable, it is
almost absolutely certain that majority
of those members who voted for the con-
tnuance of this investigation. never for
one moment thought that they were
voting EnoiiV for the impeachment Of
these oficlsls. As an instance of this, we
refer to the remarks of Mr.. SEH0N.
who, in his speech on Monday, stated
that he had voted Ior the impeachment
resolutions last Winter, with the assur-
ance from the Committee that there was
an abundance of testimony which they
could collect, and have beforeth House at
the adjourned session, but then they stated
distinctly, that they did not have, at that
time, sufficient evidence t. base an i'm
peachmcnt upon; and now, having no
additional testimony, he would vote to
postpope the further consideration of the
subject.


No doubt there were numerous Others
governed by the Ssme considerations as
Mr.. SEHoS. and this we regard rs con
elusive evidence of the fact that it was
not the intention of the House that their
action at that time should be final, or
that they ever intended that further con-
sideration of the articles Of impeachment
should pass away from their considera-
| ton.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 27.-The Hon. Carl Schurz ID
dressed an immense audience at Turner Hall in this
city tonight on the national issues involved in tho
Ohio campaign. Hundreds of people were turned
away from the hall unable to obtain admission.
Mr.. Schurz directed his remarks to . ne
view of the policy Of imitation, which
he declared is at variance with true democratic
doctrines, and which ought to be voted down By
Ohio Democrats He declared that to place tho
power in the hands of Congress to make and keep
the volume Of currency equal to the wants of rade
would be to transfer to them dangerous and awful
power-one which would place the business OF every
man in this country completely at the mercy OF that
body. He declared that honest government would
be impossible under that policy. He showed that
the panic Of 1873 was not due to q contraction OF
the currency, and that the only remedy now for
national financial evils is q return to specie pay
mcnts One of the most striking features of the
marks Of Mr.. Schurz was the picture he presented
of how imitation would affect the rich and
the poor. He showed also in striking manner by
figures derived from authentic sources how infa-
ton would strike off from the deposited savings OF
workingmen ruinOusly large part of their value

Let her gown be tucked up to the hip on each side

The Bulletin has discovered q new sensa.
uon in an alleged "new move" in behalf of
Newton, now lying under sentence for the
murder of Bourdonnay. The following is
the statement Of the case:


At the regular meeting of the Legislature
a bill changing the venue in the case was
introduced into and passed the House and
WAS sent to the Senate. The Senate. as far
as the records show, did not reach it.
During the extra session the Senate took up
and passed the bill. 1t was sent to the
House, but was not reached. After the ad-
journment of the Legislature the friends of
the bill contended that the passage through
the Senate was the final passage of the bill
Clerk Ire zeyant, of the House, however,
refused 70 sign it, on the ground that it
came up in the Senate at the extra session
as new bil and should have been passed
during the same session by the House. In
this position he was maintained by "A writ
ten opinion of the Attorney Genera.


Ii is now proposed 20 show that the bill
passed the Senate at the regular session;
and If this can not be satisfactorily proven,
it is proposed tU show that the passage by
the Senate at the extra session was the
final passage; and if This fails, an effort will
be made to show that it passed .he House
at the extra session. and was held by the
Committee Enrolment.


Assuming the legislative proceedings to
have been as stated above, they can have
no effect on the fate of Newton. Even if
the bill to change the venue passed both
houses regularly, of which there is we'll
grounded doubts, it failed to have any force
or effect until signed by the Governor. 1t
has never been approved, and is therefore
go much waste paper. In the meantime the
case has been tried in the Criminal Court,
where verdict was obta ned. An appeal
to the Supreme Court in behalf of the pris-
oner resulted in an affirmation of the YER
dict and so far the courts of Justice are
closed against the condemned man. An un-
executed legislative INTENT however plain
1t may be made to appear, can not be
pleaded in lieu of law. Nor will the failure
to perfect this act constitute sufficient
reason for a pardon, unless 1t can be shown
that the prisoner was denied fair trial and
deprived OF justice. If there were any vir-
tue in the action of the Legislature, it should
have been urged, with other defenses in the
Superior Criminal Court, and brought be-
fore the Supreme Court in the record.
There was no law authorizing the change
of venue, and Newton was pat ON his trial
at the place where the offense was commit
ted. He has exhausted his legal remedies
without avail, and nothing can avert the
penalty he has incurred except the inter
position of executive clemency.

 Our principal streets being ma- cadamiZed with refuse ore taken from the mines in early days and being coated with the rich ore that has been year after year sifted down upon them from the ore wa gons, are now everywhere more or less argentiferous. Indeed, there is not the sligh test stretch of the imagination in saying that we never take a step in the town but we are walking on silver-that our streets are literally paved with silver. While speaking of this fact a day or two since, a young man bet his friend the price of the as. saying and the cigars" that he would take lump of mud off of the wheel Ofa 'bus, then standing before them, and would get out of it precious metals to the value of over five dollars per ton. An ounce or two of mud was taken from the wheel of the vehicle and placed in the hands of an assayer, who was not told where the sam pie was obtained, and who no doubt supposed that he was deal ing with decomposed ore or vein matter from one of our mines. The assay was made, and the as- sayer's certificate showed that the sample contained: "Silyer, $7.54; gold, S232; total, S9.86.

THE LABoRER Is WORTHY OF HIS HIRE.


This principle Of ethics and right
between man and man is older, far
older than the inspired book which
gives it utterance with divine sane
tion. It is as old as the race Of man ;
it is ingrained into his very being.
part and parcel of himself. Why it
is that the law of the land. and TO a
great extent, the public sentiment of
the community, should find in the
medical profession an exception to
the operation Of this great natural
law of labor and reward. is not easily
explainable upon any principle OF
equity or Justice. Under the exist
ing statute law of Tennessee, certain
privileged classes are protected in
the assertion of their just claims for
remuneration, whilst the poor Doctor
is left at the mercy Of his debtor,
who may pay or not. as his caprice
may lead him. The grocer may fur
nish his goods. and the mechanic his
labor, or either may refuse at his oP-
tion but woe be to the poor, starving
Doctor, if he refuse to render his SER
vice, by day or by night. in sunshine
or in storm, in summers sweitering
heat or the winters chilling blast.
The grocer furnishes the bon-bons
and sWeet-meats for the Christmas
dinner which unhinges the vital ma
chinery, and then summons the debt
or. to render at the bar of Justice the
uttermost farthing; the poor Doc
tor watches through the weary hours
of midnight, disgorging the over.
loaded stomach and restoring the
debtor to health, but, to find, when
his labor is done, the gates of Justice
barred against him. The mechanic
repairs the Doctors dwelling, and
turns his wife and little ones, house
less and homeless, into the world, for
his pay the Doctor, by his self-sac-
riicing care and labor, snatches the
mechanic from the jaws ofdeath, and
then, with hat in hand. obsequiously
pleads for pittance to feed his fam
ishing household. Such is justice in
the noble old State of Tennessee |!

tion," the only means by which the
poor Doctor can insure his payment
out of the goods of his patient is by
making sure that he dies II For, in
the latter event, his claim takes pre-
cedence, whilst if his conscience, his
self-respect, his humanity, lead him
to diligent and successful endeavors,
he is requited with the cold shoulder
of the law. We know that an effort
in our last Legislature was attempted
to secure a small crumb of Justice
for our patient, long-suffering, little
complaining and much.abused pro-
fession, but without success. We
sincerely trust that the little crumb
may be granted at our next Legisia-
ture. Will you assist us in impress-
ing this upon the minds of our next
Legislators?


Respectfully,


Your friend and humble


Doctor.
