breast. At the first shot no fell, and
as he fell be shot him again, hitting
him between the eyes, and after be
fell be shot him third time. Ashby
died instantly, and in fact any Of the
shots would have proved fatal. Camp
acted with great GOODNESS and deliber.
alton, and took no advantage whateV-
or. He was perfectly justifiable ii
what he did, and no grand jury Of
honest, uhpreiudiced men will ever
find true bill of Indictment against
him. Y
However much all such occurrences
are to be deplored, we say to such men
that the true Radical Union men
Of East Tennessee don't intend to be
run over this summer and as for be-
ing driven out of the State by a set of
vile traitors and assassins, such as
have backed up Ashby, they have fed
to Kentucky for tho first time. Nor
will they be run over in this town.
For every Union man assassinated in
Knoxville, it will require the lives Of
two traitors to atone for it. Camp
was supposed to haveno friends, but
ID that the Ashby-Kuklu Klan are
reckoning without their hosts. Camp
has done precisely what he ought to
have done; and he should feel no mora
remorse Of conscience than if, in self
defence, he had taken tho life Of a
highway robber or an assassin. Had
Ashby behaved himself, and settled
down quietly according to the terms
Of his parole, no one would have dis,
turbed him in this community, not
withstanding tho many outrages be
committed in East Tennessee and his
viIlainous career as a rebel officer.
The Klan will, Of course, designate
one or two other bullies TO bring on
street fights, and the drunken, lying,
cowardly bankrupts who conduct
their filthy paper, viii encourage the
1 inauguration of mob law. Wesay tc
them, one and all, that they had bet
ter cease their violence and their in
suits, or take the consequences Of theii
conduct. The Governor will feel it bis
duty, to arm and equip the loyal mef
at the expense Of the State, and SCI
that such riots and mobs are put down
and their guilty authors punished 81
they deserve to be punished. The
tcry oftyrant, despot and bIoody-mind
ed wretch, raised against him, will moi
deter him from the discharge Of whai
he believes TO be his duty.

The Liberty Clsxas) Gasetfe pub
fishes the following marvellous story
In the Grand Cane neighborhood
in this county, 8 short time ago, gem
tleman in the depths Of forest sud-
denly camc apon woman as wild
and as feet az an untamed deer. AT
ter a brisk chase ot some distance the
gentleman ON horseback overlook the
wonderful creature, when she halted,
and be found herto be medium sized
middle-aged well formed woman, with.
long dark hair, and clear blue eyeA
She was in astate Of nudity save 4 gir-'
die of grey moss about her loins. Her
body and limbs were covered with d
beautiful coatiof hair about four inches
in length. She was much frightened
and seemed unable to talk, but must
have comprehended signs, as III reply.
10 motions Of the gentleman By which.
he sought to induce her to accompany
him out of the woods, she constantly
pointed to her own forest home. FL
RAlly the gentleman endeavored to
compel her to 60 the way he desired
by getting before her and BY threat
ening gestures with his gun, and She
became enraged, seized q club, and
turned upon him with the fury Of .
demon, and it was Only by the speed
impaired to his steed BY the liberal
nse Of the spurs, that he kept out Of
her way. After driving Off her pursu-
or, she resumed the direction she had
50 constantly pointedto, and was soon
out OF sight
"The gentleman followed, and after
going some distance came upon her
home. Three trees standing near each
other ia q triangular form, with the
spaces between them walled up with
brush and moss, made her moss bed
betweed them secure from the pitiless
rain. The stores that were discover
ed were few nuts and some four or
Eve bushels of acorns,
/" Very wild stories Of this wild wo-
man have been rife in the upper part
of the county for some time, but she
was believed to be myth by all ex-
cept those Who have had a glimpse Of
her. Now, however, her existence,
description, and the vicinity at least
Of her whereabouts, are established be.
yohd controversy. Her early capture
may be regarded as within the range
Of probability, as concentrated effort
is being made TO that end.

.ly invoked and clearly expressed, on
this fundamental issue, and 1t is the
sure way to avoid all future strifeto
put this issue plainly before the couu-
try. 4
4 repeat that this is the real and
only question which we should allow
to controlus, Shall we submit to the
usurpations by which the Govern
ment has been overthrown, or shall
we exert ourselves forits full and COM
plete restoration 7 Itis idle to talk of
bonds, greenbacks, gold, the public
faith and the public credit. What can
IA Democratic President do in regard
to any of those with a Congress- in
both branches controlled by carpet
baggers and their alliesI He will be
powerless to stop the supplies by
which idle negroes are organized into
political clpbs-by which an army is
,maintsined to protect these vagabonds
in their outrages upon the ballot.
These and things like these, eat up
the revenues and resources of tho
Government and destroy its credit
make the difference between gold and
greenbacks. We must restore the
Constitution before we can restore the
finances, and to do this wemust have
a President who will execute the will
Of the people by trampling into tho
dust the usurpations Of Congress
known as the reconstruction acts. 1
wish to stand before the convention
upon this issue, as it is one which en-

Anecdotes OF General Grant--.HIs
Habits.

A woman writes to the PhiIadel-
phia Press, from Ashland, Pa, the fol.
lowing stories about Gen. Grant.
"During the first three years Of the
war WAS actively identified with the
western branch Of the Sanitary Com
mission, and had abundant opportu-
nifty Of judging for myself in regard
to the character and ability Of our
generals. During the entire cam.
paign OF tho opening Of the Missis.
sippi it was my privilege to aid in
caring for our noble patriots, both in
hospital and camps, and | have been
for weeks together whore / saw Gen
Grant frequently, heard bis name con-
stantly, and never did | hear intem-
perance mentioned in connection with
il. Facts are stubborn things. Twin
relate u few of the many that came
directly TO my knowledge In the
winter Of 1923, when the army ar
rived at Memphis, after long, weary
marching, and trials that sicken the
heart 10 think Of, two-thirds OF the
officers and soldiers wore In hospitals.
Gen. Grant was lying sick at the Ca,
yoso House. Ono morning, Mrs.
Grant Oame into the ladies' parlor,
very much depressed, and said the
medical director had just been TO see
Mr.. Grant, and thought be would not
be able to 60 any further If he did not
stimulate. Said she, And l cannot
persuade him TO do so; he says be

drop upon any consideration In less
than week he was on board the ad-
vance boat on the way to Vicksburg.
.Again, few mouths after, | was
on board the headquarters boat at
MiIliken's Bend, where. quite lively
gathering of officers and ladies bad
assembled. Cards and music were the
order Of tho evening. Gen. Grant sat
In tho ladies' cabin, leaning upon a
table covered with innumerable maps
and routes to Vieksburg, wholly ab.
sorbed 10 contemplation Of the great
matter before dim. he paid no at
tention whatever to what was going
on around him, neither did any one
dare TO Interrupt him. For hours, he
sat thus, until tho loved aud lamented
Mcpherson stepped up 10 him with
glass Of liquor in bis band, aud said !.

KIlllng OfAshby BY Camp.
LFF0m lths Kn0xvlllo WIZ }


On Friday last, Henry M. Ashby
was shot down upon Main street, BY
Il. 9. Camp, Of this city. We pro-
pose to state briefly TO the public who.
Ashby. was and who Camp is, and the
circumstances that led to the rem
counter which resulted in the death Of
Ashby. Ashby was rebel Colonel,
who fought through the war in com
mand Of q regiment of cavalry. 1t
was his command that captured the
42l Union men attempting to cross
into Kentucky, in the summer Of 1862,
and drove them into Knoxville under
circumstances Of cruelty and beastly
tyranny. Famishing for water, they
were refused the privilege of drinking
ontof creeks and ponds. Other acts
of oppr ession and wanton barbarity,
we might give in detail, but the facts
are known to the country, and especi-
ally to the people Of East Tennessee.
At the close Of the war Ashby re-
turned to Knoxville, seemingly with
q view to settle down ihefe perman-
emily, aud found existing against him
indictments in different counties for
treason, larceny, robbery, murder &C.
AS these indictments were disposed of
one by one, until but portion of them
remained against him, he became more
insolent and violent, and really seems
to have been fixed upon, by common
consent as the bully Of the party.
Il. C. Camp is an attorney at law,
quiet and peaceable man, courteous
toward everybody, butan outspoken
Union man, and committed the unpar-
.donable sin of having served in q
Federal regiment. and was unfortu-
nately, as some think, born north Of
the Ohio river. In the discharge Of
his dutie0 as an attorney, be assisted
in the prosecution of Ashby for trea-
son against the State Of Tennessee, in
the Circuit Court Of Knox county In
consequence Of Camps quiet manner,
he was agreed upon, in the elegant
language Of Ashby, as ga d---d yam
kec coward" and the purpose of the
Kuklux Democracy was to disgrace
him and drive him and other northern
men out Of the State. In order 10 do
this. about three or four weeks ago,
Ashby went into Camps office, cursed
and denounced him with his hand or
bis pistol, while Camp was unarmed,
; and as matter of course submitted
to bis abuse.
On Thursday week last, as Camp
was quietly walking by tho Post Of
fee, on Gay street, Ashby stepped in
front, met him, slapped him in tho
face, and struck him with small
wbalebone stick, whereupon Camp
broke bis umbrella over him, aftor
which they clinohed and were sepAra-
ted By Sheriff Bearden, Ashby notify.
ing Camp that " ho intended 70 slap
his jaws every time be met him until
be compelled him to leave town"
+. On the next day, Friday last, he
stated 10 one Of the police officers,
half anhonr before the difficulty, that
ho intended to cane and oowhide him.
Accordingly, ho entered Camps law
Office, remarking, as be entered II, 70

We Strolled throughal these woodland ways
While loud the blue bird sang and few
How gayly Of thousand things
We talked; and rustling through the leaves
We sang the songs Of other springs,
And dreamed the dreams Of other ewes
TO this bold hight our footsteps came,
Our eyes behsld that distant sea

And know hS viii not answer mo.

Beyond these syes, this baffisd band,

Two ships By different bree4es toss,
Still sailing the familiar sea.
No cloud of death can long obscure,
Nor touch with any doubt or fear,
The love that keeps the old faith pure
Contsntsd whether there or hero. ~
