The Walnut Gazette prints a letter
from J. B. Barry, a local politician,
, who professes to follow his own head
rather than the lead of others. His
i * principles having been at-
«WAW,'he replica:
_. 1 prefer the principle of Democracy
toanempty heme. I do not allow
any m&u or set of men to cast my vote
tat me under a party lash. I have no
confidence in the so-called national
Democracy, the head pf which went
hackoa the platform he was
elected on—went hack on tho honest
hollsr oTeur daddies-—failed and re-
fused to carry out tariff reform; went
back on hla oath of nffloe In falling
and refusing to pay out the Idle mouey
in the Treasury on the United States
bonds as they became due, thereby
taxiug the people witbUn enormous

With regard to following leaders,
Mr. Barry says: LV;

Tomy surprise,

hearing tbe trial of Mrs, Leons Lyles
for the killing of W. B. Roberts, trs-
ducer, which was had to-day before
Jfoige HMuer, district Judge. A num-
ber of witnesses were examiued whose
testimony showed clearly that the wo-
man had been ferntiy slandered, and
without the least shadow of a cause.
Every witness and every circumstance
most overwhelmingly vindicated her
character for virtue. Judge finer
said after hearing tbe testimony, that
owing to the posaihillity of other facts
coming to light hereafter, be wool '
have to hold her to bail and set Iter
bond at 1600. The decision brought
down the applause of the audience.
It is evident from the'oxpressed senti-
ment of the community thatshe could
easily havegiveu a bond of $100,000 in
this town iu less than twenty-four
hours. "Her attorneys were Judge W.
