Prof G. Russell Powers delivered n Lecture at
the Courthouse Wednesday night, on "Our
Relations with the Unseen World He made
no charge, but when about half through had Il
few minutes intcrmissiOn passed round the hat
and lifted n collection for the benefit Of the
heather. The Lecture was diScur,ivc, but high
ly entertaining. The Professor spent several
years in the Sandwich Islands and in Mexico,
where he learned how to account for the milk
in the cocoanut. lie is now direct from Cuba.
Though somewhat eccentric and original, we
don't believe the Professor is Il bit more crazy
than four-flths of the people who assembled at
Nashville on Thursday to adjust and settle the
future political status of Tennessee. The Pro-
lcssOr will go hence on the morrow in the dirrr-
ton Of Madisonvillc, via the overland route
Everybody should turn out to hear him.

Democratic Convention at Fort Wayne
The Convention FaVOrs Fresh
Nominations.
Speech Of Hon. w. G.. MOreau-GreeIey
and Grant alike Repudiated.

FORT WAYNE, August 1.-THE first
Democratic Convention in support OF
the Louisville movement which has
been held in the State of Indiana took
place here to-day. About one hundred
delegates were present from the district.
Hon. W. {. MOreau made a speech con-
demning Grant and Greeley alike in the
strongest terms. The following resOlu-
tions were adopted:
ResOlued, 6y the Democratic party OF
Indiana, That we repudiate with scorn
and Indignation the corrupt bargain at
Baltimore, whereby the Democratic
party was handed over to petty hand
full Of dissatisfied Radicals headed by
Horace Greeley.
ResOlUed, That while, as law-abiding
citizens, we accept the amendments
added to the constitution by the party
in power, We still condemn and
hold as al indignity the ille-
gal manner in which their adOp-
ton was secured, and that we will
not join hands to-day with the authors
of that infamy in paltry scramble for
office.
Resolred, That we favor a tariff for
revenue only; that we regard as vicious
ana oppressive the whole theory of pro-
lection, and therefore We cannot support
for President the most violent advocate
of that theory.
ResOlUed, That the delegates to the
National Democratic Convention at
Louisville are hereby instructed to cast
their votes for Hon. A. p. EdgertOn, of
Indiana, for Vice-President.
ResOlUod, That Samuel Glen, of Allen
county, and J. c. Worcester, OF Della
ware, be appointed delegates 10 the Lou
isville National Convention, and as
many of the Democrats Of the Ninth
district as can attend and
act as cOntingentS

THR STEAMBOAT LAW does not satisfy
the sgthorities, and, accordingly, laud-
able efforts are being made blythe Treas
ury Department to combine I'm a future
statute ell the rules, safeguards and pre-
cautions necessary 10 the protection Of
life and property on vessels propelled by
steam. The growing need Of such law
is felt by every one; for the amount Of
property and humanity risked on steam
ers increases largely from year 10 year.
Everything which experience and fore
sight can suggest as means of making
steamboat travel safer should be care
fully included. There is no means Of
attaining these objects save through the
advice of practical steamboatmen.

Terrible Double Murder in Tennessee
The DOuble-Dyed Villain is Captured
An Outraged Community An
ticipates the Ends Of Justice
He Is Lynched.

NASHVILLE, August IS.-On the
night Of the tenth of August, Henry
Wade, cOlOred, went into the bedroom
ofJOhn Shelby, living near Rose. Hill,
Stewart county, Tennessee, and cut his
throat whilst in bed asleep. Mrs. Shelby
awoke, screamed and sWOOned. Her
scream aroused brother of Mr.. Shelby,
who was sleeping on the porch, and,
seeing Wade emerging from the room,
he grappled with him, and a struggle
ensued with him. Wade finally got
away and obtained a fence-rail, and
felled his antagonist with a blow on the
head. Wade then attempted to escape,
but was pursued, captured and brought
back. On the night following Wade
was taken by party of men from his
guard, carried into the woods, hung up
