congregational Apportionment.

Under the appOrtionment act, just
passed by Congress, it is definitely
settled that Tennessee gains one
member. We have now only eight
members, and under the ueJO ar
raugement, we will be entitled to
nine. 1t is now understood that
Governor Brown will call an extra
session of the legislature at some
time iii the Spring, to apportion the
State into nine Congressional dis
tricts.
Let as hope that Gov. Brown, who
never does anything without good
reason for it, will delay the assem-
bling of the legislature to the latest
period consistent with the public
good-say about the first of July.
We desire to see the State have a
little rest from the eternal round Ct
political excitements which have
abounded for the last few years.
Our county elections come off in
August, and there ought to be !
breathing spell between that and
the Congressional and Presidential
elections in November. For the
nine seats in Congress we look for
at least one hundred candidates to
offer so greatly do patriotism and
love of country abound throughout
the State. Let US have short cam
PAL gn,-if any is necessary.

Bloody work at Union CIay,

Within the last few months the
Express car on the Mobile and Ohio
railroad has been twice robbed, on
the 2lst of July at Moscow station,
and en- the 21st of October they rob
bed it at Union City.
The robbers, five innumber, were
arrested at various points in Mis-
souri, and Illinois, and were brought
to Union City, the scene of their
exploits, for trial, and on Tuesday
night, while the prisoners were con-
fined, under guard, in room in the
hotel, a suspicious looking person
was seen lingering around, when
young man named Benz. Cline,
constable, attempted to approach
him, when he broke and ran, and af-
ter calling TO him to halt and being
refused, Cline fired on him. He re-
turned the fire, killing Cline instant
ly-being first wounded by Cline's
fire. He was put into the room with
Harrington, the supposed ring-Iead-
CT of the robbcr band, and about 4
a. m. Tuesday a number of disguis-
ed men rode up to the hotel, dis
mounted and went straight to the
prison room, aud Harrington, Jump
ing from the bed, was fired upoD
and killed instantly. Toler, the 9th
er one, was taken out a short dis
lance and hung--his body being
found next day. There are still two
men connected with the robbery. in
custody, but they are the minor ras-
Gals OF the affair. One of the Far
riugtons was drowned off the boat
on his way down from St. Louis,
the other one and Toler met their
fate at Union City on Tuesday morn
ing, ana the two lesser Williams will
probably serve the State in the PEN
itenUiary.
There was no justifabIe excuse
for the murder of these men, and if
it can be definitely determined who
did it, they ought to be punished
The men no doubt deserved death
for their crimes, but when in the
custody of the law, they ought to
have let the law have its course, and
not have taken upon themselves the
fearful work Of killing unarmed
prisoners.

THE MEETING OF OLD sETTLERs.-Al-

Madison in every vicissitude Of her history,
has been true and answering, and whose
ennobling virtues command general hon.
age, had come together not only 10 bring
to remembrance incidents interW oven with
and constituting much Of their experience
as first settlers Of the county, but to organ
ize themselves into social reunion. by the
means of which they may hereafter mingle
together the oftener and more intimately,
as well thereby forming the tie of true
brotherhood, as enabling them to collect to-
gether and to put into tangible, enduring
and historic form such incidental and sta
tistical facts as are connected with the first
settlement of the county. The meeting
called to the Chair Jno. W Campbell. and
appointed Jno. l. Brown, Secretary. After
speeches from the Char, from Major Mason
