FUNERAL OF A ROUGH.
scenes Incident 20 the Burial of
Larkin.
A dispatch from New York Of the 18th

A dispatch from New York OF the 2Sth
says:
The funeral of Felix Larkin, the noto-
rious sporting man and ward politician,
was attended, this afternoon, by about
ten thousand persons, including thieves,
local politicians, roughs, shoulder-hitters,
biScklegs and coUrtesans. The streets in
the vicinity Of his saloon were complete
ly blocked up, and large force Of po-
licemen was necessary to preserve order.
Many OF the rowdies there were drunk
and disposed to fight. The Irish present
walled loud and long, and the whole
scene was q strange blending Of absur-
dity and grief. O'Baldwin was present,
and was expecting arrest immediately
after the funeral, IS his bonGsman's death
made him liable to q process cfiaw. The
hearse was drawn by four horses, each
one covered with heavy mourning cloth,
deeply ninged. and over the vehicle
there were heavy black piames. After
the coffin was deposited on the pave
naent the psll-besrers took hold OF it and
moved it further up the street, the crowd
making 3 rush for it that nearly unset
the corpse. Larkin was wealthy, and in
spite of occasional Tuffianism, was very
popular with his class. Such excitement
has not been known here since Bill
PoOle's funeral. It is said that the cor
oner's jury to- o-morroW will be packed
with Lsrkfn's friends, who are extreme
~ violent against Campbell.

The anbernaterisI aueees.Ion.

The rather small showing which Judge
Patterson made before the Legislature
last week for the Office Of Secretary of
State, il is thought has seriously Damaged
his prospects IOT the nomination for
Governor. The impression among the
knowing ones at Nashville now is that
the contest will be between Col. Stokes
and Mr.. Senter; and the friends OF the
former are said 10 be confident that he
will win. utCol. Stokes nomination for
Governor will not by any means secure
the nomination OF Mr.. Cate, OF Hsmil-
ton, to Congress. That gentleman's Te-
cent silly attempt TO unceremOniously
thrust the whole Legislature out OF doors,
at the most inclement season OF the year,
too, has ruined his political prospects for
ever, and il is doubtful whether be could
even be Te-slected to the chair he nov
occupiss 10 the Senate chamber Of the
State. Meanwhile, contrary 10 the first
impression, Stokes chances for the
GubernEtoTisl nomination are 10 the ss-
cending node sgsin. We make this

AGFacuicuS Escape from a cave.
The Knoxville Press and Herald, OF
the 26th nit, says:
James Williams, who lives eight miles
from Knoxville, Ia company with two
other men, was out hunting on Thursday
night last. Williams, who had an ax on
his shoulder aud was il advance Of the
other two men, passing through field,
stepped into a hole or cave and disap-
pesred.
The party with him approached the
cave and hsllAOed, bat got no response.
They went to a neighb0r's house and
learned that the depth OF the cave had
never been ascertsined. They st once
got bed cords and tied them together,
fastening rock TO one end and letting il
down in the hole to the depth OF l20 feet.
Williams was alive, and tied the rope
around bis body and legs and was hsuled
or pulled from tie awful ch2sm by six
men who had c0me to his assistance. He
is still living, but with little hope of re-
oOvery. These are facts, but look fabu-

A Notorious Horse Thief Hung by CI:i-

EeEHs
We have received the particulars OF q
tragic affair which happened ct Pui aski
last Friday morning:
A few nights since party Of men,
who had organized Themselves into Z
vigilance committee for the purpose Of
protecting themselves and neigh bors
from horss thieves, who had been COM
mitti1g q great many depredstions IN
the eastern part OF the county, sue
ceeded IL capturing a notorious murderer
and horse thief ngmed Jack Barnes. He
had made his escape several times from
the officers OF the law after ne had been
arrested.
The party who last captured Barnes
lodged him in jail st Pulaski for trial.
Friday morning between one and two
O'Clock, band OF sixty or seventy men
in disguise forced their way into the jail
and took him away. A few hours later
he was found stiff and cold, hanging to
tree about four miles east Of Pulaski,
near the Fayetteville road.
Barnes is represented ss having been
a terror to the peGcesble citizens Of Giles
county for many months past. Hekiiled
one or two men during his career of
crime, and had stolen an almost incredi-
bic number of horses. While it t. TO be
regretted that the law was not permitted
TO take its course, his tragic death has

Ehe Attorney General Who Wanted a
H-sE INK Nenln.

We learn that q body Of Ku-Klux
made their appearance in Gsinesboro,
Jackson county, few days since, under
the following circumstance: Circuit
Court WIS in session in GsfDesboro at
the time Of their appearance. The At
toTney-General, a Mr.. Robinson, wss
present, and in g bosstiDg way remarked
that he would give fifty dollars reward
for the scalp of Ku-Klux. This libe-
raiity OF the part Of Mr.. Robinson, by
some means, reached the land where the
Ku-Klux dWelleth, and straight-way
some forty Of them sped TO the land
wherein Mr. Robinson plays Attorney
General. They called at his room, re-
questing his presence but Mr.. Robinson,
Oh seeing the cut off MS visitoIss con-
cluded that he didn't Sant no haEt-nor
scalp, and asked TO he excused from
making his appearance. The Ku-klnx
were inexOTEble, however, and insisted
that he should accompany them, assur-
ing him that no harm to him was med
itated, and thst be should not be taken
of bodily. Mr.. Robinson finally con-
sented to accompany them they started
with him to the courthouse, the scenerof
his liberal offer for scalp. Arriving at
tae courthouse, the spokesman Of the
ku kiuX, in an UDearthly, hollow voice,
informed the eAttorney-Generslt that they
had come only to offer him forty heads
instead Of one; the forty bowed their
strange heads to the valiant Attorney
General, and departed ss quietly rs they
came. No violence or indignity was ex-
erciseG towsrd any one during their brief
stay.
TIE sequel of this visit of the Ku- KIux
in Jackson shows that their visit was
only a matter OF sport, caused by the un-
necessary remark Of the Attorney

Just as the train from Nashville had

guised men jumped aboard, pulled the

name was Russ. He replied that it was
not. They then ordered the fireman,

which our informant did not learn. It's

sol. Bob WitEIers Shot and Killed et
Hendc-sonYilie.

Intelligence reached the city yesterday
o; fatal sffssy which took place at
HendeTsOnville, about 2 Pm, between
Mr. Sam. Doxey and Col Bob Withers,
IN which the latter was shot and almost
instantly killed. The particulars, as We
heard them, were as follows:
Col. WitheTs, vino is q farmer, had en-
gagged 3 freight car, which was to have
been at the depot last Friday for load
Of bis corn. It is stated that he did not
have the corn ia at the time agreed upon
and that the car was therefore appropri.
sted 10 cotton and sent eff. The friends
OF Mr.. Doxey charge that Col. Withers
became every much incensed at this, and
used some abusive language towards the
formers BROTHER, who is the Depot Agent
at Hendersonvllle. Yesterday after
noon Col. W. drove to the depot about
the hour mentioned above, When Dir.
Doxey at once demanded whether be
had used the language imputed 70 him.
Col. W. replied TO the effect that he
would retract nothing. 1dr. Doxey re-
torted: You are q Cd id iiar.u
Col. W. Immediately seized him by the
coat collar, but before he could ibflict any
damsge upon his antagonist, the latter
drew revolver and Cred three times in
ftll4 suCCr Dus NO Cl the SnOI5 LOOk
effect, one in Col, Wiihsrs' groin and the
other in his arm. The former wound
bled inwardiy and terminated fatally in
Gb0ut five minutes. As Mr.. DOxey was
firing the third and last shot, the dying
man exclaimed, "Don't shoot again;
you have killed me already, and l am
unarmed.n The remsins of the deceased
vcre subsequently, taken charge OF by
hisIfiepdE.
II is hardly necessary TO state that the
affair is most deeply regret
ted in the neighbOrhood where it occur
red. Col. Withers was in the Confede-
rate service throughout the war, and
made most gallant record. He was
Lieut. Colonel OF CarseT's regiment at
he time OF the surrender. Mr.. Doxey
llso stood veil in the community in
which he lived. No snimosity had pre-
yiously existed between the parties as
'ar as we could learn. NaShVite Banner
