TIIK trial of James Nutt for the
murder of N. R. Duke#, will come up
;
in the Fayette county court on the j
first week in December. The services
of Ihe Hon. Daniel Vnnrhoi'*, of Indi
ana, bus I wen secured for the defense.
IT is said that in the state of Texas
forty two million acres of land have
been devoted to the use of schools and
asylums. This extent of ti rrimry
would he several millions greater than j
the whole surface of Pennsylvania,
with New Jersey and Delaware
thrown in.
THE New York Tribune says "the j
issue of legal-tender notes in times of j
peace would he uneon-litutioual." We
have no higher law in this country,
and what heeonies of the Supreme
Judges' decision appointed to declare
the issue constitutional some years
ago? Is the Judicial oaih less bind
ing at one time tliun another ?
AFTER SO many years of continued ,
service in Congress, Sunset Cox repu
diates very justly the idea of enmpli ;
mentury ballots for the Speaker-hip
He only wants such ballots now, as
means business. The three leading
I candidates, Randall, Carlisle ami C,>x
having each,according to their friends,
sufficient Vote' pledged to elect them*
complimentary ballots will not be
counted as compliments.
THE New York Hun is again to the
fore to say that Mr. TIB fen is not a
candidate for the Presidency. "Devo
ted a- he is" remarks the Sun "to the
welfare of the Democracy and still
anxious to render everv ivis-ilde scr
vice to the people, there are no cir
cumstanees under which Mr. Tiiden
can be induced to accept a minima
tioo."
SENATOR MAIIONK is out with a
long address to explain the crushing
defeat he received from the Virginia
D .mot-racy at the late elections. His
failure of explanation is about as
marked as his fai.ure at the election.
It is more mi attempt to flirt tt.e
"bloody shirt" in the face of the peo
ple. He com nenees with the most
unblushing falsehood* on the people
of his stale and ends in the same
I strain.
