Worked and Earned il.

\ few weeks ago a gentleman living i'll
an Eastern town was called out of his bed
one morning, by several vigorous raps
upon his front door. Hastily dressing
himself, he responded to the call, and found
standing upon the step an uncouth, rough
ly-clad boy, with an AK on his shoulder,
who hastily thrusting his hand into his
pantaloons pocket, drew out small roll
and handing it to Judge Fl said
There's seventy.fve dollars, that
want you to put in the savings bank, and
hastily started away.
The Judge, slightly disconnected at the
curious proceeding, scarcely knew what to
say. till at length, recovering his wits, be
cried out after the boy
Stop come back here How did yoa
come by this money!"
II worked and earned il, Mr. NJ,
time was out last night and got my
money. I've got a job chopping,which l
began on this morning, and thought I'd
leave the money with you as | went to
work, and then it wouldn't take up my
time this evening, when want to study"
What is your name, my boy?" asked
the Judge.
81 wrote it on the paper that wrapp-
ed the money up in shouted the little
wood-chopper, as he passed on to his
work.
That boys note for a thousand dollars
due ten years hence would be as good as
gold If he has his health, he will be
worth double that then.
He is beginning in the right way. The
very day his time was out for the summer.
he entered upon another job, and immedi-
ately placed the money he had worked
for where that would work for him aud
with an economy of time which is more
to be praised than his forethought with
regard to money, he could not endure to
have moment devoted to anything but
his books when the long evenings came.
Five years from to-day, with a good
education, with good habits, with few
hundred dollars, which he has earned by
work, his chances for place in the bust
ness aud political world will be far greater
than those of the spendthrift boy who.
born with fortune, begins, without know
ing the use of money and instead of going
up goes down. Hearth and Home.

SPECIAL 10 TIE APPEAL.

NASHVILLE, January 19.-In the
Convention the minority report of the
Committee on Suffrage was submitted.
1t favors limited suffrage or non
interference with the subject at
present.
A motion to adopt the list of the
majority report was defeated by 50 to
20 votes, significant as showing what
will most probably be the ultimate
action of the Convention on the fran
chise question.
Among the amendments adopted to
the Bill of Rights, was one forever
prohibiting, in Tennessee, imprison-
ment for debt. 1t was adopted by
majority of thirty.

minority Of the Committee on Suf-
frage reported against permitting the
colored man TO vote, unless the sub
ject was submitted as an independent
proposition to the people and ap-
proved by them. The report favoring
suffrage without regard to color, and
against submitting cOlored suffrage as
an independent proposition was or

WASHINGTON, January BIN the
Senate, the President submitted a re-
port adopted by the late Louisville
Convention in favor of the Southern
Pacific Railroad.
Several petitions for the abolition of
the fTanking privilege were presented,
and created considerable discussion,
In which MessIs. Drake, COnkling,
Ramsey and Howe favored the object
OF the petitions, and Mr.. Thayer eX-
pressed the belief that it was improper

Mr.. Patterson presented memorial
intended to call the attention of Con-
gress TO the violations OF the Revenue
laws, whereby large quantities Of mer-
chandise were smuggled into the Uni
ted States by class of sWindiers and
hOrse-thieVes who infested that p0r-
ton Of the territory which includes
the city Of bLatamOras, known as
Free Belt. The loss OF revenue TO the
United States by this unlawful traffic
was estimated at from $3.50, 900 to $780,
600 annually,
Official correspondence has resulted
In the refusal by the Mexican Govern
ment to abolish the Free Belt, and
some remedy for the evil was now inn
peraive. In view OF its importance,
Mr.. Patterson moved that the memo
rial be tabled and printed, which was
agreed to.
Mr.. Wiley offered a aresolution which
was agreed to, setting apart Friday
after Of the expiration OF the morning,
to the House for the consideration OF

On the motion of Eir. Terry, the
Committee on Pensions was instruct-
ed to consider the propriety of prOvid-

PILLOW.
Further Particulars Of the Assassination Of
the Groihcrs Pillow.

The Columbia Herald Of Saturday
contains the following additional par
ticulars Of the assassination Of Gran
vile and William PillOWg
"a dispatch came here from Leigh
ton, Ala, last Tuesday, stating that
Granville Pillow had been assassi-
mated oH the highway, and Willie, his
younger brother, missing. Another
dispatch sent in the evening TO Mrs.
Pillow, stated that Willie's body had
also been found, the spirit having
long since taken its departure. It Is
said that q family or clan Of bad men
had been heard, several days before
the assassination to declare they would
kin Granville, and secreted them
selves on the road they knew ne had
10 travel to 20 home from Leighton,
2 railroad station in NGrth Alabama.
The assassiuat0rs finding Re brothers
together, killed Willie 70 provent 1e-
lection, which they could nos accom-
plish until they had followed MIN
some distance through the woods.
These young men were sons Of the
llte Mai. Granville A. Pillow, of this
4 =
nepheWs. Young Granville married
IN North Alabama, and has been liv-
ing there several years. He was d
Confederate soldier, and received
wound in the Streight raid, on Sand
Mountain. Willie went % Alabama
a wear or so ago. 1t IS "a sad cOmnen-
tary upon the evil days upon which
We have fallen, that two such young
men should be murdered IN cold blood.
"Tnere is another rumOr to the ef-
feet that Granville had received that
dav in town eighteen hundred dollars
for the rent of his farm, and he was
robbed Is well as murdered
The Huntsville LadspeadsHt Of Fri
day has a statement Of the affair, to
which no one acquainted with the I'M
fortunate gentlemen involved can
possibly give credence:
we learn that the two Pillows.
killed near Lagrange, were nepheWs,
not sons, Of Gen. Pillow. Our infOr-.
mant stated that they were killed for
the cruel and persistent maltreatmenJ
Of the wife Of one Of them. They had
been warned to cease the abuse of the
woman, which enraged the husband,
and his treatment OF her became more
violent, beating her over the head
with pistol, the brother standing by
approving. The disguised men came
upon them at night, killing one in his
bed, and the other was found next
morning In a slnkhole, his body rid
died with bullets and a rope around
his neck"
How 50 cruel a statement could have
originated We can hardly imagine,
unless from some enemy Of the mur-
dered men.

cient number Of States shall have been
secured to engraft this last intdmy
upon the Constitution; and in what
ever else it may fail, Congress has not
recently been known to fall short OF
its full measures of pre-aTrangement
If the worst comes TO the worst, they
have Texas to fail back upon and di-
vide into three or fOur States. They
are ready to do this any day, on the
first symptoms Of political necessity
in that direction Or, if beaten at all
other points, Mr.. Sumner would
bring in bill to alter the arithmetic
tables, and to declare that, for the pur-
poses of an amendment to the Consul
tuition, three-fourths of thirty-seven Is
tTenty-fve,or twenty-1our,or twenty,
If necessary.
So, after a careful survey of the sit
uation, I have concluded that we may
as well throw up the sponge ON the
XVIII Amendment. We must grin
and bear it, at least until we can find
some form of redress which Is not
visible to the naked eye at the present
writing.
