MR.. CLAY.

A large public meeting was recently held at
Dlnville, Virginia, at winch resolutions were
adopted, highly applaudng Mr.. CLAWS course
IN the Tariff question. This comes from a
quarter Of the 5 ate, saws the Richmond Whig.
which we dare say, at once, never imagined
it possible that any state of things should arts"
which woaId demand su"h tribute from lis
PATRIOTISM and Justice. The magnanmitv is
honorable, which Yields long cherished hostility
to he persuasion that it has been undeserved.
The proceedings of the meeting were order
ed to We Transmitted to Mr.. Clay, by the chair
man, W. r. Chaplin, Esq, to whom MIR. CLAY
returned he following answer.
WASHINGTON, 18th March, 1888.
SIR:-I dulv received your favor of the 25tb
uii. transmitting certain resolutions adopted by
the citizens of D4nviIle, Pit;sylvania county,
Virginia, in which they have done me the hon
or 10 express their appreciation of my conduct,
IN respect to certain measure brought forward
by me in the Senate OF the u. States, to recon
Gle and tranquilIze the country. Fully appre-
ciating the generous motives which have
prompted this expression OF their feelings and
sentiments, receive it with lively and grateful
sensibility 1t appeared to me that the worst
possible relations. were getting up between the
various parts Of the country; that men in all
sections of it were accustomng themselves to
think and speak freely of terrible event. that
ullimatel. III not Immediately civil war was serl-
ously to be apprchended; and, there was great
danger, if we escaped that calamity, Of the sud
den overthrow of system of policy, which
would have spread ruin far and near 1t was
under these circumstances that | pre- scented the
measure to which YOU refer Having been f.
nally adop ed by large majorities of both hols-
es of Congress, sincerely hope ii may be eve
ry where received in the amicabe spirit in
which it was offered and passed. OF all the
misfortuncs that could. befa our contederacv,
there is none equal to that Of separation of its
parts; for in its train, every other would follow.
Ii is sometimes said that liberty is preferable t.
union, and 50 it is in the abstract; but wha,
possible guaranty is there for liberty without
union?-l pray that all our fellow citizens may
re sensible of his undeniabe truth; and thai,
in social Intercourse, and The public councils, its
influence may he forever felt
With my thanks for the obliging manner in
which you have communicated the Resolutions
OF the people of Danvlle and with assurances
of high respect aud esteem, am

CONVENTION OF STATES.

Looking over the Journal of the Senate, we find
the following report, submitted by Mr.. Ewing, from
la committee to which referred certain docu
ments from the state of South Carolina proposing
the call of general convention, to amend the con-
stitution. The report was adopted by the senate as
here inserted: Some amendments made in the
House which went the form rather than the senti
ment. In the hurry of business at the close of the
session, its publication the proper place omit
ted Ed. Wing.
aThe committeeto whom referred certain re-
lsoutions of the legislature of South Carolina, re-
commending the call of convention of the states,
have given to the the consideration which their
Importance demands, and recommend the adoption
of the following resolutions
| "Reso,ued bu the Senate and House Of Representa-
tires ofte State of Illinois, That the proposition Of
both branches of the legislature of South Carolina,
having for its object the call of convention OF the
states to consider and determine such questions OF
ID puted power have arisen between the states oil
tins confederacy and the general government, which
have been transmitted to this general assembly for
an expression of its sentiments, having been consd-
cred by this body with the respect due to the dstin
guished member of the Union from which it emanates
is deemed by this general assembly to be ineXpedi-
ent and inadmissibe: Because,
l. The constitution of the United States does not
recognize any such tribunal as convention of states
/ but has expressly provided announcer mode III WhiCL
amendments to that instrument, when deemed neces
sary, shall be made.
9. convention to propose amendments, wher
Ca lied by Congress, must be in the nature of things
convention of the people, from which the constitu
tor derives its authority, and not convention o
the states.
3. That such political assembly as a convention
of the states, beng recognized by the constitution
could have, if assembled, legal or constitutional
existence or power and could not have authority to
consider and determine questions of disputed power
which have arisen between the government and the
states of the Union.
I a. 1t is not xpedient to call convention at this
time; but that If any amendments to the constilu
ton be necessary, this general assembly believe they
should be proposed in the manner pointed out in the
constitution by two thirds Of both houses of Con
gress. .
S. This general assembly is not aware OF any poll
teal exigency in the affairs of this nation, which
may not be settled by ordinary exertion of The
wisdom of Congress, the patriotism, and the loya
affections of the people to their country.
6. The constitution has expressly given to the Su
preme Court full power for the settlement OF all con
troversies between the government and individual
states, members of the Union.

The LEBANON MURDER "A gentleman
who arrived in this city yesterday from Leb.
non, confirms the report of The diabolcal mar
der committed in that town. He states that
he murderer's name is Fox; that his sister had
married a young man by the name of AIMS

other brother, who, believing that Annis sough,
the marriage IN order 10 get possession of the
paternal estate, declared publicly that he would
murder them both if they married. As FoA
was sitting at breakfast with Annis and his
wife, on Saturday, he struck at AnnIs with
his knife, but the latter warded off the blow
Fox then ran out OF the house, procured an axe.
and returning, struck Annis violent blow Oh
the neck, which felled him 10 the ground, and
in few moments he expired. Fox then pur-
sued his sister, who had fled from the house,
and overlook her about forty yards distant
UnmIndful Of her agonizing cries, which were
heard at great distance, he drew a loaded
pistol from his pocket and attempted to shoot
her. The pistol missed fire, and he commen-
ced beating her with it and his fists, until she
fell down, when the monster jumped on her
body and stamped on it until the poor victim Of
his ierocity died. He dragged the body to the
side of the road, buried it in the snow, and then
hid himself in barn under some hay He
was, however, soon discovered, and placed in
safe custody,-The parties were all under thr-

We learn IN relation to this horrible affair,
that Fox has been for several years an Idiot un-

property of "a hundred dollars, which on this
occasion, he conceived that Annis wished to

into the woods and chained them to tree to
prevent having them taken from HIM by Anns,
as he stated; he also broke up a sled in conse-
Iquence of a similar apprehension At the
fine of the marriage, he had threatened to kill
The Clergyman and the Town Clerk, for their
agency in the marriage, and procured an old
pistol for the purpose. He afterwards appeared
TO change his purpose, and wreaked his venee
ance upon his sister and her husband.
He suddenly rushed into the room where
they were at breakfast and running behind An
mis-, dealt blow, which cut off the neck bone.
and nearly severed the head from the body. A
second blow cut through the collar bone
Whether his sister at first attempted to defend
her husband is not known, but she soon fled.
and he went in pursuit, and having snapped his
pistol without effect, he beat her brains out with
the pistol, and then jumped upon her and finally
buried her in the snow After the homicide he
concealed himself in place which he had CON
