WE have been furnished with a
copy of the speech Of Senator John
ston of Virginia, delived on the L.
S. Senate recently upon the bill to
enforce the fifteenth amendment. In
our next we will publish it to our rea-
ders. The argument of Seneato
Johnston'is very forcible and some of
its points new and original. lie re-
CARDS this federal enactment as IA
voring the colored man at the expense
of the white man, and argues forcibly
that it causes the white man to retire
from federal Office and seek promo
tion in the only field left open to Kim,
his own state government, then trans
forming his affections from the ma
tional government to that of his
state. This argument is full of pi;h
and point when addressed TO honest
and patriotic republicans, but oar
Senator must bear in mind that these
distractions are by many of their adj
vocates proposed for that very reason.
They desire TO foster federal disloyal-
ty in the returned States in order that
they may seem justified in again sif-
ing them as wheat.

COLD BLOODID ASSASSENA-
TKON.
Ycung Van NllICd in Athens.

On Thursday evening last, the town
of Athens, Tenn, was considerably
excited over the cowardly assassination
of young man named Louis Woody.
The particulars of the affair, as we
learn them are as follows:
A wedding at the Methodist Episco-
pal Church had attracted large num-
Der of the young people OF Athens, and
among the number was Mr.. Woody, Il
student of the Wesleyan University.
MIR. w. kept bachelors hnlln about
two miles from the town. While on
his way home from the wedding, and
Just passing the college, he was fired
at by some unseen person. He was
struck in the right side, the ball cut
ting his coat sleeve about the elbow
and coming out of the back on the
left side of the spine, making a hole
in back large enough, as our informant
says, " to put your four fingers in"
The unfortunate youth lived about
two hours in great pain. No cause is
known for the shooting, nor has any
one in Athens an idea of who The assas-
sin was. A number of persons We're
walking in the vicinity, heard the shot
and the scream of the wounded man,
and saw man on the opposite side of
the street run hastily away. The gem
eraf opinion is that Woody was shot in
mistake for some one else. Mr.. Woody
was about p years of age and univer
sally esteemed.-K pOTpiNe Wig.

TY.-On Tuesday night, Mr.. Thomas
Sizemore, residing in Hawkins county,
was called to the door of his residence
and instantly killed by shot from an
unseen hand. No clue to the assassin
has been obtained- 1t appears that a
feud has existed between the Sizemore
family and other parties in Hawkins
county, which has resulted in the kill
ing of Capt. VIM. Sizemore, brother
of Thomas, and two men named Web
ster and Willis. 1t is supposed by
some that the death of Thomas
Sizemore is result of this feud. Pol
itics has had nothing to do with the
