short Of civil war. If the people OF the
country believe it either necessary or cx-
pedient We presume we shall again plunge

Tho Work of I776 Undone-Reyi-
val of TOryiSm.

From the foundation of the Republic all
the great statesmen OF the country have
united in one warning voice. Beware of
sectional parties was the Injunction OF
Washington and Hamilton, OF Jefferson
and Adams, Of Jackson and Webster and
Clay. Of men Of the most opposite creeds.
Washington's Farewell address, revised by
Hamilton, made this warning a parting be
quest TO the country. Jefferson spoke OF
the first agitation OF the slavery question
as "a tOcsin In the night" iilling his soul
with alarm for the future. Clay renounc-
ed his party when it assumed a sectional
attitude. Webster turned his face from II.
and died despairing OF il.
When the recklessness of secesslonism
and the virueuce of abolitlonism brought
the country into war, the statesmen of the
day warned the country OF the difficulties
of carrying on republican government
amidst the perils of War--and Of the terri
Bile necessities that must follow the forcible
5ubjugation Of section of the country.
These warnings were unheeded The
Constitution was set aside, and military
authority substituted. The Federal armies
tIiumphed but instead of restoring the
Union, success only confirmed Its separa-
ration. As the situation now reveals itself,
not only the words Of Washington and
Jefferson have been disregardcd, but their
work has been undone. The Federal Gov
ernment stands 20 the South in the very
attitude that the British Parliament stood
towards the Colonies.
We have revived and installed in power
the toryism of 1875. with all its pretonsions
It's insolcnce and tyranny. and its hatred q
popular rights. We have. indeed, magni
fled and exaggerated the toryism Of those
days. The ministry Of Lord North never
lorded IL over eight millions. II never
while denying representation. sought tC
impose upon the Colonists the general tax
alton of the empire, and such a special taa
as that on cotton, which now blights tn,

The RaVishe- of an Aged Woman Killed
and Beheaded.

About two months ago a negro man stole a
watch from gentleman in Union City, for
which he was arrested and lodged in Jail in
that place. Last Friday he broke Jail aud
succeeded in evading the officers of the law,
who searched the surrounding country for
several miles. 1t was subsequently ascer,
tanned that he had concealed himself on FRI
day night in piece of woods, near the farm
house Of Mrs. ChOrum, u widow lady residinc,
about three miles from Union CITY. On
Saturday he entered the house while her sons
were absent, and demanded all the money she
had on the place. Mrs Chorum stoutly
refused, whereupon the villain sprang upon
her, chOked her to the floor and committed
an outrage on her person too horrible to men,
ton. Hearing some one approach, he fed
Just as he was commencing a search for the
coveted booty, and had thrown out the con-
tents OF bureau which was in the room. a
few hours afterwards Mrs. ChOrum's two sons
returned, and hearing of the outrage, made
dlllgent search for the perpetrator. After
tracing him through some of his haunts in
the county, they learned that he had gone to
Hickman, whittier they at once followed.
and arrested him last Monday. Their first
impulse on seeing the monster who had so
iendishly outraged their mother was to kill
him on the spot, but after brief consultation
1t was determined that the scene of his crime
should also be the scene of his punishment.
He was accordingly taken back to Obion
county, aud in field near Mrs Chorum's
house was placed against the door and shot
So enraged were the young men at the remep-
brance of his hideous deed that their VEN
geance followed him even after DEATH
Assuring themselves that the shots had proved
fatal, they procured an axe and completely
severed his head from his bOdy.-Nashgiie
