The committee appointed to exam
ine the prisons, have submitted to the
Onvprnnr a number of names of con
victs with recommendation for par
don. Anions the number is Frank
Riddle, convicted of murder and sent
from Maury county in 1S73. They
baso tiiis particular case on the
irround of "trood behavior." Among
the several other cases they assign
iliffcrent reasons: such as "excessive
punishment," "tender year," etc
Now we rospactfully s ibniit to the
Governor that the juror and judges
who tried these criminals, heard the
proof, saw the witnesses, listened to
the argument under the cirjum
stanccti were j tat a little more compe
tent to decide bow much punishment
the offense merited, than is this of
ficious committee of visiting',' states
men. ITponthia question of pardon aud
commutation, Gov. Taylor is little
given to over-indulgence, at best; he
is tender-hearted and compassionate;
virtues one cannot help but admire
in the man ; but when he comes to
consider thia report oflisially, we ask
him to ri-iieinber communities, and
not sacrifice their interests, in a too
tender rearard for these unfortunate
individual.
For the Governor, with one stroke
of his ptMi, to turn loose upou the
State nome forty murderer, robbery
rapists, incendiarien and thieves, is
coming it a little strong, don't you
think?

Coming directly to 4he Kint,
Taylor, if the peoy!e of Mury wiuitetl
to renew tiieir acquaintance with
Mr. Kiddle, the special chargeof your
committee, they would let you know.
Movements in that direction have
been started heretofore, but me'; wiih
no especial f.ivor. The trut! is that
the people of this county renumber
that Frank Kiddle imirdared a poor
old paddler, Tor his mney, in a
niost cowardly, brutal manner, and

A bill proposing tt make of Maury
county a ajpara.e Judieia! dis riel, i
before our legislature fqr considera
tion. ()n our first pa.'e we publish
r. the bill iu full, and also a protest be
:i"3 circulated in opp mition to the
bill. We do this that the people may
read and uuJerstau 1 for t'ie:n selves.
T 'BesT . -' 4L iitnuiltY.l:llir.
anu are glad tlie IIkrald has
room to give it all iu full; few county
paper9 have. This is quo of the ad
yantaires in having both sides printed
ut home; and it is at suclf times as
fhis that the inconvenience amj dis
advantage of a "patent quts()k.'" is
felt.
fn addition to publishing the bill
aifc the protest, iu qfder fo throw full
ljght on the subject, we have invited
communications fVo.u both sides; and
l)ese will be found in another place.
Tlje question resolves itself to one
of taxation, afle all. Thequesti n of
convenience will, perluin.-t, n t be de-
ijied by anyone; it will he more con
venient to lawyer.-', to ljtigants, ti
olljcers, to all, to have cases tried and
disposed of iuoV prn)l)tly than is
)ow tone.
That tle bill js a good move t be
Jpilf of justii:e, cannot be successful'
denied, if denied at all, In the con
firmation ofjand sales it frequently
occurs that tho title to farms is in so
precarious a shaie that neithrclaiin
ant is willing to risk planting a crop.
This delay of confirmation is an iii
justicu to somebody. This is one in
utaiHio from the civil docket, others
(ould be eited.
Iu the Criminal Court a man is iu
liieted ; faiU to give lonl, is tent to
jail. His case is called before he Is
ready for trial ; he ccuhl get ready in
a week, but another court is wailing
for the Judge aud Attorney General.
So lie is remanded to jail, stays there
thrve months waiting for Court to
meet again, Is tried at last and acquit
ted. Tuatances of this kind occur
every Court.
Still these are exceptions to the
rule; rather frequent exemptions, it is
true, but they would be less frequent
if the lawyers were-more faithful to
their clients and attended to their
cases with more promptness.
So about the only question of doubt
and dispute, is whether the proposed
change would' increase or decrease the
taxes.
The framers of the bill say it would
materially lessen the cost of running
thco Courts; the jail fees, witness
feus, jurors fees, and other incidentals
would all be red need, and would
largely overcome the salary and other
expenses iucident to the new arrange
ment. The parties opt-osing its pas
sage, deny this, and thereby raise a
question of fact. , , . .
Now that question of fact will be
discussed at tlie Court House next
Monday, and it is the duty of all the
people to go there aud hear the data,
the proof, the faots in the case.
Until then the IIkuai.ii does not
proiose to take sides, and we advise
our readers to alike prudence. Don't
sigu any petition for anybody, until
you learn the facts of the case. For
you should not attempt to ing'ruct
your representatives about something
you hav'nt Investigated.
How it may affect a few Individ
uals, is of little consequence to the
people at large; laws are made for the
greatest good to the greatest number,
and we suppose the gentlemen who
may have their Incomes reduced by
this measure, would be willing to ad
mit this, and admit the justice
of It. The question is, uot
how will It affect the few, but how
will It affect the many.
So let every body come to the Court
House next Monday, an J whin you
have beard the question discussed,
then sign the petition you think
rlKht.
The Presidential inauguration next

ipon the masses of the common peo
ple, we think tin to! jr. a :tt Nash

Whenever certain books are adopted
by the State, it will be very easy for
partiei to make a deal by which a
lew can coutral tha market, and that
ulceus tlie pricj. Or ourse you may
attempt to re jul.i'e the price by your
legislation, but a surer means than
that, is by i:o,n;titiou.
About, o.u; illustration will force
you to admit that, propo ition. Fvery
legislature convening for years, has
spent a great deal of time aud tlie
peoples inoney in "regulating rail
roads," and yet it is admitted by
everybody that one good competing
line would do more "regulating"
than all these laws.
And one can imagine how anxious
authors and publishers will be to
supply tlie dear children, by noting
the fact that even now one Mr.
Phelan, who was elected by the peo
,tcT)i the MenTphis district to serve
them, and is given live thousand dol
lars a year for such supposed services,
thinks all things else of small mo
ment compared to his "History of
Tennessee," and has been at Nash
ville for a week or more lobbying in
it's interest.
It appears to us that the counties
cm manage this thing for them
selves, and we advise our representa
tives to relegata the question to the
Superintendent and School Directors
of the several couuties. They can ad
just the matter and save themselves
and their patrons a great deal of
trouble and expense.
Aud while We are writing alout
school matters, the thought arises
that Maury county is well to the
front in some educational interests,
and lacking in others. For instance,
why can't we have County Institutes?
Maury is far behind in this respect.
Institutes ought to be held in various
parts of the county once or twice each
month. It would be of incalculable
benefit to teachers, patrons and the
school interests of Maury. Let some
live teacher take the lead and write
us plans whereby this can be accom
plished. Our County Superintend
ent should interest himself also, and
if a start is made it wont be long lie
fore the teachers and patrons of our
public schools will take h ld and ac
complish world of Kood. May the
day lie close at baud when Maury
will be way up in the lead iu this
matter.

An Important Bill.
On the first page of this paper is set
out an exact copy or tne Din intro
duced in the Legislature for the pur
pose of having one Judge to hold
both the Chancery and the Circuit
(including Criminal) courts for
Maury county. This is an all impor
tant measure to Maury county, and
for that reason we have given full
Bpace to its discussion. And, think
ing the people would want to and
ought to hear both sides aud under
stand the question, the Herald pub
lishes the bill, tne protest against u,
and invited communications from
both sides. Iu answer to our invita
tion for expression of opinions, we
received the following:
To the editor of the Herald:
The undersigned members of the
bar were appointed a committee b
tlie bar to draw tins law (tne iui
text of which you have stated you
would publish in this issue of your
paper) and submit to our representa
tives for passage.
Of course it is the privilege of every
citizen to petition the Legislature to
pass such laws as they think will
benefit the public. We, exercisiug
this privilege, forwarded to our rep
resentatives tlie copy of the law above
referred to. We did this believing it
to be for the general good of the pub
lic. Our motives have been called in
question, as we understand, by a cir
cular that is printed and being signed
by a great many good citizens as we
believe in ignorance of the true im
port of this act which we seek to
h;i ve oassed.
It might be well for the public to
look carefully to the motives of those
who are active in seeking to prevent
its passage. If they find those most
zealous iu opposition to it, the per
sons whose financial interests in the
way of fees and perquisites of ollice
are effected, it is well to weigh care
fully before signing; for the very
reason that tney oppose ic, nameiy
that it makes the stay of criminals
short in jail, and curtails the expeuse
in that way of administering the
crimial law, is sufficient to "prove
that the law ought to be passed ; and
tlie bare fact that it might iu a meas
ure prejudice the interests of some
individual ought uot to prevent its
passage, if it be for the general good.
Bv examlninsr the . records of the
countv it will be found that the Cir
cuit Court of Maury county cost the
cniuty last year $10,952.Si); of which
Circuit Court costs, including wit
nesses' attendance, $3,584.(S ; jail,
2.78!t.80: iurors and other costs Inci
dental to the court. $3,578.01. The
bast informed think the expense will
hi larger this year. Aside from thi
only three or four civil cases wert
tried this term, and we have an extra
term to try criminals.
The large item of Circuit Court
costs, including witnesses' $3,5S4.(iS,
is mainly "ma le up of witnesses
attendance. Tnia will l-e largely ob
viated in tlie p issage of this law, be
cause it will not be" necessary to have
ail of the witnesses in each case in
attendance all the time, as the judgt
will, uuder thi-s law, have greater lat
itude in setting cases. The large
item of jurors and other costs will be
ereatlv curtailed, because it will not
be necessary t keep the regular ju
rors in attendance all the time, bul
juries may be summoned to a day set
under the order of the judge, and it
will, in tlie majority of cases, curtail
this expenses and we need not add
that it will greatly cut down the jail
expenses.
The above edimate iloes not in
clude the cost paid in felony cases by
the State, which item we do not know
now the exact amour t or. e learn
this is very lare; probably as large
as that paid by the county.
e have only drawn tins Jaw as
citizens arid tax-payers. Every party
interested in t le draft of this bill was
a right large t ix-payer; and we sug
gest to the pu'dic that a matter that
so seriously eTeets the public welfare
should not be hastily acted upon
without true knowledge of all its
bearings, and that all tlie citizens of
Maury county meet in a body on tlie
first Monday in March, at the Court
House in Columbia, and express their
views to the legislature.
We, as citizens, will be glad to meet
them, and meet in open discussion
any one who opposes the passage of
t.bia law, so that the matter can be
thoroughly understood on both sides
by the community.

The daughter was then attacked.

An Important Suit.
Tlie Supreme Court has decided
the suit of the Columbia Central
Turnpike vs. Luther L.. Frierson.
this suit is of general interest, and
very important, to both the turnpike
companies, ami the public.
A Hk!:.u representative had
short interview with Mr. Frierson,
ironi which be gathered the follow
ing facts:
Mr. frierson lives in Mt. Pleasant,
and owns three farms in the vicinity.
One farm surrounds the toll gate on
the pike.
A road passes through this farm,
with gates on either side. Some peo
ple nave avouieu me payment o: the
ton, iy going around the toll gate,
through these gates, and along this
road.
Mr. Frierson claimed the right to
pass from one farm to another, and
Irom his home place, in town, to any
oi ins iarms, tuner around, or
through the toll gate, without pay
ing toll.
The Supreme Court held he could
visit any ositiou of his farm without
paying toll, but that if he had no
business ou his farm and came direct
from Mt. Pleasant to Columbia he
must pay toll; and required him to
prevent the public from going around
the toll gate, through his farm, by
locking Ids gates, or some other suffi
cient means
See. 1480 of the code imposes a for
tlture of live dollars for going around,
or avoiding a toll gate.
A Close Call.

agent ou the Ij. t N., had an expe
rience last Friday more novel than

Our Sabbath School is almost a thine
of the past. AVe triad long and faithful
ly to sustain it, lv regular attendance,
and trying to inlluenee others to join us,
lll t. W.l ATM tVkltfAjl rv "frii-a if m " tkn'
reluctantly; yet would suggest that we
meet once more, and endeavor to reor
ganize, and let each, and every one "put
ais shoulder to the wheel," and work
with renewed energy in the interest of
the Master. Spring is utmost here, and
we cannot excuse our non-attendance
by a cry of "too cold.':
liro. Us-HCiy has promised to deliver a
sermon on the subject of "Sunday
-Schools" nt his next appointment, the
1st Sabbath in March, and we hope every
person in the vic4nity of Hock Spring,
ild and voung win oe enabled lo near
him.
Klbert, the little son of G. Wes Mil
ner. has been unite sick with pneumo
nia for several davs past, at Mr. J. T.
Atkisson's, where bo is boarding; but at
ohis writing is improving slowly. Mvr
Ae. his littie sister, it verv sick, at fier
riandfather's, Mr. S. 1). Haves, ind
Verna hare just recovered from an. ill-
n ss ot several aays. e iruiy syinpa-
hir.e with Mr. Milner and Iiir dear tit
le motherless children in their afflic
tions. It seems that theirs has indeed
been a sad lot. nut although bereft ot a
fond, loving mother, these little ones
lave a true and devoted lullier, - ami
have met with warm-hearted and sym-
nathizinz friends, who are endeavoring
o nurse ana aireiia mem turougii mi
rving ordeal.
V are pleased to note the recoverv
f Mrs. Mollie Barker, whoso afllictioii
.ve noted In our last. Also the little son
f Hro. If. A. Urav is convalescing, with
lopes of speedy recover.
Mr. K. T. Journev. we regret to say
is considerably indisposed at his home
near this plaea; so much so, as to requite
tne services oi ; 'o. s-iei;ii , .yet u n.
his alUielions tnav not prove serious.

Mr. Eddie 1 oag was very unfortunate

the axe glanced and he received a most
laiufiil cut oa the left foot, which dis-
ihled him for several days. We ar
leased to note his ability to visit hi

ind attended Sunday school.
Mrs. I). S. 1:1 iclc has been ouito sick
for soma time past, with neuralgia; and
Miss S-iMie, her daughter, was at the

ere she was relieved.
Mr. Nat Huckaby anc handsome

ing in our village la it Sunday, at Mr.
Atkisson's.
Kind friends and dear neighbors, let
me entreat von to bo more attentive to
the sick aud aiilicted. l)o not neglect
visiting them, but try and leud a lieli
ing hand; especially to the lonely little
o -phaus,- who need, and would" appre
ciate your favors, wero it n -night but
a i hours visit to cheer and "console
them. "James, a servant of (fod," al
monlshes us to "visit tho widows and
orphans in their ailliction," and if we
fail to do so, we are neglecting a Christ
ian duty.
Since writing the above, Mrs. J. T.
Atkisson was taken sick wjth a chill ami
with astlnna, but we trust her sniveling
will not be of long a oration, for she has
under her care a little sick orphan, to
whom she has been giving undivided
attention for several days past. May
Clod bless them in their affliction.
Yours ever.
