FATAL ARRAY AT COLUMBIA, Ten.
Intelligence reached this city yesterday Of the
death of Richard II. Hayes, Esq, Attorney at Law
of Columbia and son of Oliver B. Hayes, ESQ.,, of
this city, in a street rencpunter In Columbia with
Mr.. William Polk, of Maury, brother OF the Hon.
James X. Polk, The parties met on the Public
Square about o'clock on Monday evening, each
simultaneously, buck shot from Folks pistol pierre
ing the brain of his -fated antagonist. Hayes
lived through Monday night but expired at an early
hour yesterday morning.
The circumstances which led to this rash and me-
lancholy meeting are, we understand, as follows -
On Friday difficulty originating in jest occurred
between the parties at the dinner table of the Column
bia Inn. Hayes having Internationally, and in
sportve remark, wounded the feelings of Polk,
slight alteration ensued which ended in the tender
of an apology from III. Whether it was accepted or
not, we cannot say but infer not Polk proceeded
on the same evening to Hayes Office, and after call
ing him out, inflicted personal chasisement with a
whip. On Monday evening the parties again met
on the street and with the fatal result just mentioned
Thus closed the fifth bloody street tragedy in Ten
nessee, for 1888 How many more we may be called
upon to record in the few briet days that left 10
the year. it is not easy TO forete In the before
US, the circumstances such TO shock the public
mind beyond any event Of the kind that has occurred
in this section Of the State for series OF years. The
principals and their connections arc all highly re-
Specialize while the unfortunate victim has been
hurried to premature grave in the first years of
manhood full Of promise, and in the free enjoyment
of all the comforts and indulgences Of lite that
fond and independent father could bestow. To thar
father now absent in the eastern cities, and TO his
family here this heart-rending event will prove
sore trial, indeed though il the sympathy of the
community do aught 10 soothe their grief, they
nave " in the general regret which bereavement
SO sudden and shocking is calculated TO call forth.

PEsNsYLvAMA--The Wings Of the city and coun-
ty Of Philadelphia, held a meeting at Masonic Hall,
on Friday, Nov &c. to express their feelings the
result of the New York election.
The Hon. JOHN Sergeant was called TO the Chair,
and among the number of highly respectable Vice
Presidents we notice the nams Of the venerable
MATnEw Carey.
The meeting was addressed by Mr.. Wise, of Va,
Mr.. Bond, Of Ohio, Mr.. Tallmadge OF the New
York Legislature, and Messrs. Swift Watmough
and McKenney, of Philadelphia.
From among number Of highly judicious reso-
lutions, introduced by Josiah Randall ESQ.,, and
unanimously adopted, we select the following the
hrs as liberal and gratifying manifestation Of good
feeling towards the Conservatives and the latertwo
as commendabe and sound policy for all who hope
TO succeed against nolerant Sub Treasury-loco
foco federal administration.
Resoiped, That we have witnessed with delight the
patriotic exertions Of our Conservative fellow citizens
who shook off the trammels of party when they found
that those who had the direction Of its power
poy'ng that power for selfish purposes to make upon
the interests OF their country and fearlessy and unha
statingly in the face Of denunciaton and detrscton
and in defiance Of hircng libellers, took their stand
upon the side which their conscience told them was a
right one and have maintained it with courage which,
nothing but good conscience could inspire, They
sury, and the schemes Of executive aggrandzement
We acknowledge the debt we owe them for the past,
the pledge their patriotic conduct satisfies that
may rely upon their cooperation in future and as
value Wing principles, and believe them essential to
the public welfare, less bound in duty than
inclined by our feelings, to honor those who in trying
crisis have aided US to sustain them, and to extend to
Them on all occasions the hand Of encouragement fell
lowship, and support.
Resolved Iha, concerted and effective action through
out the United States in the selection Of National can
ddaes can only be obtained by free commune alton
OF opinions, with mutual Difference and respect and
final submission to the will ofa majority, fairly expressed
and when expressed, espoused by every Wing, as
1t were his own individual w-that such an expression
cannot well be had but by the Of National Con-
venton Of delegates, freely chosen-that entirely
approve Of the call Of National Convention to assem-
Bile in December 1889, agreed upon last winter, and
that we pledge ourselves to abide by and support the
nominations that may be made by the Convention, to
the utmost Of our ability.
Resolped, That deem it our duty, and earnestly
recommend to our Wing brethren, until the Convention
shall have collected and pronounced the decision of the
Wings OF the United States, upon the question of
ddaes, TO abstain from whatever may impair their own
freedom and prevent them from fulfilling their duty
the Wing nomination, and for that purpose to avoid
pedging themselves for and against any candidate

For ,he con.lnntIne nepuhlIenn.

Cohsthhtthc hepubltcnn.
Mr.. Editor--It must be highly gratifying to
the friends of civil aud religious liberty to oh.
serve the spirited proc eedings had at the lato
meetings held in Berrien and Kalamazoo coun-
ties ON tho subject of the bill relative to the com
potency and rights of witnesses.
Tho subject is ono of tho greatest importance,
and demands the serious attention of every lover
of our free and republican institutions.
tits manifest that spirit of intolerance has
entered our Legislative halls, which, if not crush
cd in the bud, will diminish tho rights of large
portion of the most intelligent and respectable
citizons of the State. The man who would in
tsrfire with the conscience of his noighbor in
matters of opinion, and thereby encrolch upon
his rights and privileges guaranteed by the
stitution Of his country, ought to BIO dsnounced
as an enemy to civil liberty and held up to public
scorn.
The course pursued by v. l.. Bradford, in rela-
ton TO the above mentioned BILL is both anti-rc.
publican and intolsrant in tn, extreme, and de-
serves the censure of every advocate of "equal
rights" On the other hand, the bold and manly
stand taken by the Hon. John S. try, relative
to the same bill, calls for the appreciation of all
parties friendly to our sacred and happy institu-
tions.

The Printer.-Many men, who have &C.
qured great fame and celebrity in the

VIM. Blackstone, the learned Commentator
on laws, was Printer by trade. King

set types after he assembled the throne of
England. We scarcely need mention
Franklin for it is well known to all who
are familiar with his name. that he was a
Printer. Alexander Campbell, the greatest
Theologian that has ever graced the Chris.
tan world since the Apostolic age, is a
Printer. Gentleman Of the Graft" these
