HERALD AND MAIL. With Siipplemeiit. Friday Morning:, (September , 1H. TICKET. FOR PRESIDENT. HOtt. SAM'L J. TILDEN, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, HON. THOS. A. HENDRICKS. OF INDIANA. FOR (GOVERNOR, JAMES D. PORTER, OF HENRY COUNTY. FOR CONGRESS, HON. W. C. WHITTHORNE, of Maury County. FOR STATE SENATOR, W. D. FULLTON, of Williamson County. Arkansas has gone Democratic by 50, 000 majority, and Vermont Republican by a samll majority. Elius Polk, a well known colored man of Nashville, offers to take the stump in favor of Tilden and Hendricks against any speaker the Republicans can bring out. 1 he horse Orafton run a mile on a three-quarter track last week in 2:17J the first half in 1:07. This is the greatest feat ever achieved on a three-quarter track. Prof. T. II. Huxley, the greatest of the tfreat English triad of scientists, is in Nashville, the guest of Albert Roberts, the brilliant and witty editor of the Ame rican, who married his niece. Prof. II. delivered a public address to the people ff Nashville last night. Hear what a great Northern paper says of Whitthorno's eight months work in Congress: "lie 1ms uono a difficult, arduous work, iu a way to render his countrymen of all parties a high public sorv'ce.'' Wouldn't it be a sin against the republic to keep such a man out of the public service? The land is (lowing with milk and hon ey or moro literally, with bacon and -ornbread and the people should give grand barbecues. A few bullocks and run's sacrificed upon the altar of the country will be acceptable and worthy. Wis are glad to learn that a big barbecue at the Fair Ground is contemplated. Ex-Oov. Horatio Seymour was nonii nated for Governor by the Democrats of New York, but he refuses to run on BC' count of bad health , '1 his is a great mis take tlie Democrats have made at this crisis, and the Radicals are making the most of it. The Convention hea been called to meet xguin next Wednesday to make another nomination, and it is thought that the Hon. Clarkson N. Pot ter will be nominated, The Mass Meeting last Monday was harmonious, and laid the foundations for a tremendous victory in November. The County Executive Committee was an iu enirntion it embraces the names of tie strongest representative men in the coun 1y, men of the people, who will go ear nestly to work to perfect organization, heal dissensions and secure harmony. This committee has appointed admirable sub-committees for each district. The line of battle is forming : right dress Dorscv II. J homas.

W. Ij. Yardley, a colored lawyer ot Knn.wille, has announced himself a can didate for Governor of Tennessee. Th white Republican leaders have been w, u king hard to make him "quit his fool isliness,'' but he won't quit says he determined to run the race through.

Mr. Bykes first discussed Federal tax ation and showed that tha real burdens under which we were laboring were from Federal taxes which amounted to ?7.00 per head of the whole population of the United States. He said that the Repub lican party had been in uninterrupted control of the country during eleven years of peace; that they had carried out all their reconstruction policy, aud their fi nanciul system, and now behold tee re1 suit, widespread pecuniary distress throughout the land. The patient had been growing worse tor eleven years, un til he was now on the verge of his finan cial grave, and unless he changed his doctor he would soon be beyond hope of recovery, in discussing state n nances, Mr. Sykes showed that the greater por tion ot the present debt of Tennessee was created before the w;ir, for the building of turnpikes, railroads, the State bank and the capitol, most of the bonds issued by Brownlow and Senter having been paid. He mentioned the lact that near f 400,000 of this debt had been created to build a railroad in Maury County, which the people now have the benefit of. He stated that the saving in the cost of the transportation of the two articles of corn and wheat from this county by means of this railroad far exceeded the whole State tux of Maury, which was in 1874 141,672. The saving upon the transportation of hogs, cattle, mules, and various other ar ticles would swell the amount to three or four times as much as the State tax. Mr. Sykes said he could and would not believe that the people who were en joying such benefits would ever for a mo ment think of not being willing to meet their just obligations. Let other coun ties do as they might, he felt that Maury County a county illustrious for her no ble citizens and proud of her untarnish ed name would never permit the black banner of repudiation to wave over them. We cannot pretend to go into a full re port of M'aj. Sykes' speech. THE COBBITES. Bloody Kite by Religions I'nuntlCH In ArkMUNiiM. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2 The Globe Dem ocrat has a letter from KnseH, Arkan sas, detailing some of the atrocities cora mitted by a religious sect, called the Cob bites, at a place named Gum (Springs, in White county, it appears tea', an o:u man named Cobb rule.-?, and is regardod by hia followers as Jesus and obeyed ac cordingly. For somo time past singular noises have been beard at uuni rjpnnga hv neraons passing there, and a few days irn i:. i. ttumDnrevs. oi oearey, uuu a Mr. Blake, of El Paso, determined to as. certain the cause of them and clear r.p the mystery. They therelore visited the Inr alitv. and us thev were passing a hut from which issued strange sounds, a man named Dover, one of the Cobbites, ae ,-rwi..l them and sa:d that (joa was in i.hi but. and invited them to see him. Thev aliiibted from their biiggy r.nd entered. Humphreys was at once eeized by lour men, and lilake oy lour wouiol CCT TO PIECES. Blake broke loose from his captors aud ran about a hundred yards, when, on looking back, ho saw the men cutting Humphreys to pieces with long knives. He hastened to town and reported the- case. A party of citizens at oneo started tor the scene ct the disastrous murcer. On arriving at the Springs, they found that Humohreva bad been killed, his head cut off auiij stick on a fence paling. A boy ruling by had been compelled :t get oft' his horse, bow the head th'o.' times and utter a prayer. A parley en sued between the lender of th citizen? T. C. Bkkei and Dover, the Cobbite during which the latter took Humphreys head from the fence several times find shook it back and forth and replaced it on the Dalinz. at the same time order ing the citizens to leave. FIRED UPON BY CITIZENS At last Dover and his crowd advanced on Blake and his party in a menacing manner, and the latter fired upon them killinn too men aud wounding another the remaining four men, fuur women and two ehildren were arrested and taken to jail. Other Cobbites were also arrested aud taken to Searcy, lhere was great excitement among the people and lynch ing was threatened. RELIGIOUS INSANITY. Next day a preliminary examination was held, and all the parties released. They talked incessantly about their relig ion, and there seemed little doubt that they were crazy from tho enects ot relig ious excitement and starvation. THE CORONER S INQUEST. Later advices sav that a coroner s m- ouest was hpld on the body of Hum phreys and the jury returned a verdict that I li. and J. m. Uover, ihoii. liaiii iv and John and Elizabeth Nelson were euiltv as principals of the murd r of Humphreys, and John and l.ee Dove and Clementine Dover were guilty us n- ressories. L. B.

It appears that Cobb is from Miehr-iai. where he taught his atrocious doctrine until driven out. Ho first sei.tle.-l i: Southeastern Missouri, where ho nihdc i few converts, and it is said that he o!i.-i ed un infsnts as sacrifices, lie. was u v en awny from there, r.nd with hia favcr-fe followers went to White county, A:k., and induced a few more ignorant poo; to join them. THE MURDER OF HUMrHHF.YK The accounts received do no; give any adequate reasons or caus" for the atlr.tk upon Humphreys aud B'akc und tLe. murder of the former; but tl:o Col-bites seem to have been wrought upon to i: high degree by religion oxcilemoi;? or fren.y and were urged on by old m:in Cobb, who had taught hi-f fbllovwra that ho was not only Ciiric t in person, but that be uttered the decrees of God him self, and that anything they did was de void of sin.

Yardley' s Caniidaey Maying a Sensation in East Tennessee A Mveiy aoir Among the White Radicals. Knoxyille Tribune. The announcement of Yardley lor Gov ernor was the street sensation yesterday. Nothing, since the nomination of Foote for Elector, has so stirred up the white Republican monkeys. Among the mem bers ot the Ring and their adherents, there was gnashing of teeth, .though the colored people, we understand, generally received the announcement with satisfac tion. Some of the white brethren, how ever, were eyen unkind enough to charge that Yardley has been "bought up by the Democrats " and his impudence in setting himself up. as a candidate was roundly denounced. He said he had not consulted them, because he had long siuce discovered that they had but little use for a colored man, after getting his vote on the day of election. He declar ed his purpose to meet Gov. Porter, Co'i. Thomas and Geu. Maney, at Lebanon, on the 11th inst., and to proceed regularly with his canvass through all their ap pointments. An TJnprovoied Outbreak toy Negrees. New Orleans, Aug 29. -Gen ieo. W. McCranie, of the Ouachita Telegraph, sends the. following to the Associated Press: Monroe. La., Aug. 29. This city and vicinity is greatly excited because or the grins; into, last night, of tho reals dences of David Fasilik and Isaiah Gar rett aod an attempt to kill Mr. Li. Faulk, planters living on. the river be low here. Mrs. David Faulk has been danger ously ill for weeks, and her bed-room was the target ot the assassins, air. Garret's house received about 170 bul lets. Mr. Faulk saw two men, both colored, enter hia gate. They exploded two caps aiming at mm, ana went on. Several white families in the vicinity hye come to this place for safety, and ippetOs have been made to the yolun teer company here for assistance. Mo. CAuso cn bd imagined tor this out ratte. It has thrown the whole parish into intense excitement and spread ter ror among the white families oi ,bis seer ion, where quiet has heitherto pre y-tiled. It is thought that the trouble is the oauence of a disturbance that occurred 1-iVi Saturday at a Republican barbecue, where eight or ten whites, present by invitation, were rudely treated by the negroes, their lives threatened, aud were forced to leave the grounds ro pa city tho inturiatod blacks, who drew rope.aters, and othcrwiso exibited the ferocity ot desperadoes.
