The Violent End of Yancey.

The Nashville Bdnaer makes the following
statement concerning the death of William L.
Yancey, which, it appears, was caused by a
personal encounter with Senator Hill, of
Georgia, on the floor of the rebel Senate: 5sa
William L. Yancey came to his end by VIC
lence. 1t was toward the close of the second
session of the first Confederate Congress that
he broke from the counsels and influence of
Mr.. Davis and became, with Mr.. Henry s.,
Foote, q leader of the opposition. Mr.. Ben
Hill, a senator from Georgia, had likewise
changed his front, and was remarkable for the
earnestness, personal interest and persistency
with which he sustained the measures of an
administration to which his allegiance had
been given late in the day. Mr.. Yancey, it
will be remembered, had returned from an un-
successful mission TO Europe, and was repre-
senting Alabama In the Confederate Senate
The question of navy was under discussion
In secret session. NFhe debate ranged beyond
the parliamentary limits, and Messrs. Yaneey
and Hill became animated over the abstract
doctrines of state rights and the divinity of
slavery. High words passed, and finally the
lie was given by Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Yancey leap
ed forward, and as he aimed blow at his adj
vesrary, was caught in the arms Of the latter,
and thrown violently over desk. Mr.. Hill is
a man of wonderful muscular davelopement.
Mr.. Yancey was never very heavy, though
1.-THE and active. In the fall his spine was Sc
riotlsly injured, and when the bystanders
rushed upon the two and dragged the one from
the other, the great fire eater lay unconscious
upon the floor, with a little trickle of blood
oozing from his lips. he was carried to his
hotel; vote OF secresy was passed, and the
encounter hushed up. No one in Richmond
except that body of men knew of the circum-
stance for six months after. Meanwhile the
victim did not recover. BE dropped from day
70 day. He became listless, hopeless and va
can't. BE was transferred to his own home,

intellect and complete experience, added to
the essentials of an exquisite voice, and re-
fined and natural bearing She should be

the stage is sadly exceptional Mrs. Lander's
representations furnish welcome and an in

The bogus Democracy are making terrible
hue and cry about the exemption of United
States Bonds from State and municipal taxa,
ton. s12ssl llA q s-.a1J1 Of sildnr Z
When the money for which bonds were is
sued was borrowed, the existence Of the ma
ton was at stake, and no bogus Democrat
could be found who didsnot believe i'the agdr
icas a failure" and consequently the Union
destroyed, and the ability Of the Government
to pay its debts lessened by the loss of the
fourteen rebel States. NJ .aT 81
Every subscriber for Government Bonds
did SO in defiance of Democratic predictions
that he would lose his money. As an induce
ment to the lender, the Government not only
offered high rate of interest, but relieved the
Bonds from taxation. Is it honest to repudi-
ate an essential part of the agreement when
the danger is pastp Shall the Government
say to its confding creditors, we promised not
to tax the Bonds you bought of us when we
werein trouble and could not obtain money
on better terms; but we are now strong, and
our credit good throughout the world, and we
repudiate the agreement we made with. you in
the hour of our affection. 10 ii
Is it lawful for the States to do what the
General Government has promised its credit
ors shall not be dene? .98 srt3
The Constitution empowers Congress to
borrow money on the credit of the United
iStates.n If a State has the right to tax Bonds
given by the Government for borrowed mon
ey, one per cent, why not ten, or twenty, or
fifty per cent. thus giving to the States the
power to destroy the Government credit The
loyal States might be restrained by patriotism
from ievying tax which would render Gov
eminent Bonds valueless, but what guarantee
have we that South Carolina and other rebel
States would not attempt to do by taxation
what they failed to do by force-dissolve the
Union by destroying the public credit Dem
ocratic partizans are playing the demagogue
when they propose it. 1t is an insult to every
honest man to ask him to be a party to
breach of faith with the public creditors; but
like the cry of NEGRO equality" and @white
mans government" it is intended only to
catch the votes of the ignorant and dishonest.
