ANS MrRpEEED IN ALhBAMA.-A letter re-
cciycd in this city yesterday brought the
sad intelligence that two gentlemen, we'll
Known in East Tennessee, had been, on last
Monday evening, brutality murdered in
leighton, Ala, small town about half
WAY between CORTLAND and Tuscumbia, or
the Memphis and Charleston railroad.
The victims were Granville and William

OF our city, and nephews of General Gideon
}. Pillow, Of Alabama.
We learn that Granville Pillow, the cid
est brother, was seated with his family,
after supper, around the hearth, when
some one knocked at the door. Granville
went to the door and opened it.
No sooner was the door opened than lie
WAS shot in the face by some one. His
wound proved mortal, and he died within 4
few moments after receiving his wound.
The assassins then entered the house, and
proceeded to the room of Mr.. Pillow, the
younger brother, who had retired to bed.
They compelled him to get up and leave the
house with them.
Next morning the body of William was
found in sink-hOlc short distance from

RANDOLPH MACON C0LLEGR-ANHIYER-
sARK. CEI4EBRATI0N, OF THE FRANKLIN
LITERARY SOCIETY .-Ashland was point
Of attraction last night to many Of our
citizens on account of the anniversary
celebration Of the Franklin Literary So
ciety. Notwithstanding the heavy rain,
the chapel was filed with 8 large and bril-
liant audience. -,.igt . ~ r, -
Mr.. Herbert Weisiger, the president of
the Society, then introduced the Rev. Dr..
Edwards, of Richmond, who opened the
exercises with an appropriate prayer.
The President introduced Mr.. D. G. Butts,
OF. Virginia, as the orator Of the evening.
Mr.. Butts's subject was GA Mysterious
Subject as Discussed by Learned Gentle
man "a burlesque upon learned speeches.
His speech wss strictly in harmony with
his subject, and illustrative, as he humor-
ously stated, of college life as "demon-
strated from the sciences of phrenology,
physiology, and psycology.''
Mr.. Butts is one of the moot promising
students at Randolph Macon. His speech
ELECTED frequent applause from the au-
dience, and was unanimously considered a
success. sn. ae.. ..ar..-.- .ais II
MIR. james M. Twitty, of North Carolina,
then came forward and delivered the an
nual eulogy upon Franklin, the "patron
genius" of the Society. His subject,
though necessarily trite, was tastefully and
successfully handled. Mr.. Twitty promises
to be speaker of more than ordinary
ability. ..r..
Rev. DR.. Duncan made an apology for
Mr.. F. C. Woodward, one of the orators,
who was absent On account of sickness, and
assured the audience that they missed q
treat. 49,
The President thanked the audience for
their courteous attention, and the exercises
were ended.

Ahxosr BvRisb AIrsr.--w today met
with Mr.. William Day, a resident of Spring.

A'o'saAo ablSEs-We tO-u&y met
with Mr.Willian Day, a resident of Spring
ncid, ILL.,, who is returning from the Cali
lorna and Idaho mining country, where he
has been for the past few years seeking his
fortune. Amid the many trials and adven-
lures incident to that wild country, he re-
lated to ,,s an account Of some Of his hair
breadth escapes from death at the hands of
the Indians. He bears the marks of four
wounds received from the "redskins. ~
The fracture of one leg leaves it about one
and half inches shorter than the other !
1t was while suffering from this last named
mishap that MIR. Day came near being
buried alive. He was wounded by an
ounce ball from an Indian gun on the 18th
OF August, 1860, and WAS confined to his
bed for about one year, q great portion Of
the time Just of the point OF death. At one
time he had gradually grown weaker and
weaker until all hopes of his recovery were
abandoned by his friends, and the physi-
oian watched, as he thought, to note the
last vital spark take its fight. His limbs
became stiff and cold, oil pulsation seemed
to cease, and the breath appeared to have
left the body.
Mr. Day was duly laid out and dressed
in the habiliments of the grave, his eyes
closed by the aid of coins, and all neces-
sary preparation made for his burial. Of
all these arrangements he WAS quite con-
scious, but had not the strength to make it
known. Before the time arrived for his
burial his old physician, who had attended
him during the earlier stages of his suffer-
ing, happening to have business in the vi
entity, and hearing of the disease of Mr..
Day, called to see him, and while looking
with pity upon the cold form of his former
friend and patient he imagined that he
could discover signs of respiration. Upon
closer examination he ascertained that he
was correct, and he at once set to work to
restore to life the supposed dead man. He
succeeded so well that Mr.. Day passed
through Omaha yesterday, apparently well
and hearty, and able to tell his own story.
He says this occurred in Silver City, Idaho
territory - Omaha Republican, january 6.

An INDIANA MlLLINER KILLS A MAN
Last night, just as We were going to press,
occurred one Of those terrible acts that
startlcs the community. -..
At about 10 o'clock Mr.. William T. Ar
ncy was with ether friends in r. r. McCon-
nclNs confectionery, and left, going up
street towards home. Soon after, as Gene
raj Colgrove and Gideon Shaw were stand
ing ut the foot of the stairs leading up to
the rooms immediately over Hill & Arney's
grocery. where Miss Smith resided, lust
cast Of the public square, without any
noise preceding it, they heard crash
through the window, followed by q pistol
shot, and MIR. Arney staggered down the
steps to the street, and fell, shot through,
he heart. He was carried into an ad-
joining room, and there expired in mo-
mcut prs. Bosworth, Cunningham, Bruce,
aud Carver were Immediately called and
made a post norton examination. The
ball had been fired from above, and entered
above the left shoulier-hlade, fractured
The fourth rib, and passed through the
great artery just after it leaves the heart,
making an opening in it three inches in
length.
II appears tllat MISS SHilIn nau thrust
the pistol through window-pane and fired
while Mr.. Arney was going down stairs, or
had his back toward her. AS there was no
warming TO others, there is no explanation
TO be given.
Miss Smith, we understand, came here
from Huntington not long since, and was
atone, occupying these rooms rs n dress
maker. Mr.. Arney leaves Il wife and four
email children TO mourn his untimcly end,
who have the symrathics OF the entire COM
munty in this terrible affection.
Miss Smith is in Jail awaiting nm exami
nation.-- Winchester tind.) NeecS, Jan. 6.

Conversational.

WASHINGTON, January l7.-Sendte.-Mr.
Sumner, from. the Committee on Foreign
Relations, presented bill regulating ocean
cables, and another providing for the pay
ment of French claims existing prior to
1901.
The Virginia Senate bill was resumed.
Mr.. Stewart desired the House bill Ding
hams substitute) to be put on its passage.
Mr.. Sumner refused to allow the bill to
BE read more than once.
MIR. Conkling suggested that the House
bill be offered at the proper time as sub
stitutc for the Senate bill.
Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, declared Viz
cinia unfit to be admitted either with or
without conditions. He would, however,
rather trust the rebels of the South than
the Democrats of the North. Governor
Walker, of Virginia, was not o tit repre-
sentative of loyal men.
MIR. Morton proposed an amendment to
the effect that the restrictions of the four
tecnth amendment shall forever apply to
Virginia, and making the acceptance Of
Office conflicting Herewith penal.
Finally Mr.. Stewards motion prevailed,
and the Senate bill was laid aside and the
House bill taken up.
MIR. Edmunds then moved his amendment
exacting the restrictions of the fourteenth
amendment.
A rather tame discussion followed, MIR.
Thayer closing with an hours speech, when
he was interrupted by motion to 60 into
executive session.
The motion to postpone the Senate and
take up the House bill with o view to its
immediate passage prevailed by two ma.
jority in slim Senate, and the majority OIL
the members absent are supposed to favor
the unconditional admission of the State.
Sumner then drew the rules on the
friends of the House bill, which require

tion Of the Gold SpecuIations OF
wall Street.-The Army-The Income
Tax-Reception Of the Remains Of
the Late Mr. Peabody.
Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, January II, 1870.
The Senate Finance Committee to-day
considered the various funding bills before
them, including Senator Summers and Sc
cretary Boutwell's. The committee will
probably report one embodying some of the
suggestions of Secretary Boutwell,. They
have special meeting tomorrow on the
subject, and have requested the Secretary
to be present for conference.
The House Banking and Currency Com
mittee resumed the consideration of the
Wall-strect gold speculation. Messrs. Fisk,
Gould, and Cousin, did not make their OPP
pearance. The committee have sent the
Sergeant-at-arms to bring them. Mr.. Cor
bin puts in the plea of sickness. The COM
mittcc, however, examined Speyer, who
was the booker of Messrs. Fisk and Gould.
He gave without any reserve detailed
statement of what took place on the two
memorable days. He said he was author
lied by Messrs. Fisk s. Go. to purchase gold
from one hundred and forty to one hun
dred and sixty. At the time he made tho
purchase he did not know about any ring.
His purchases were all made on orders left
with him by Fisk, Gould & Co.
The committee were much interested in
his narration. He gave them very clear
insight into all the operations, and it pro-
badly only requires Fisk's and Gould's evil
dencc to complete the story.
The House Military Committee to-day
considered the question of reducing the
army. The bill prepared by General sher-
man will not be adopted. The committee
will probably agree to the one prepared by
General Logan.
Commissioner Dclano to-day made q
ruling in reference to the income tax. Ii
was thought by many that the law imposing
the tax on incomes expired with the year
1870, and that after the collections Of tax
for 1869 (Which is made until the 3Oth OF
April, 1901 there would be no more in
come tax unless provided for by another
act Of Congress. 1t now appears that the
income-tax law does not provide that Ger.
tain parts Of the income tax shall expire
on the LIST of January, 1870; and among
the income taxes to be continued are the
tax on salaries of Government clerks, off
GERS, and other employees, as well as navy
and army officers, and upon dividends OF
banks, railroads, and other corporations,
and upon oil undistributed profits made by
them, as we'll as interest, amounts named
for construction of bank buildings, railroad
cars and depots, etc.
Admiral Farragut has accepted the duty

He will 90 to Portland this week. Thu
