The Greeley organ says the selection Of

The Tennessee delegation stood "a for MAY

This is the only mention we have seen

OUR neighbor of the Athens Post is q
progressive man, and as he has his face
fairly turned now in the right direction we
hope he will not turn aside until he reach
es the broad national platform of the Re
publican party where all true patriots can
find rest and sympathy.
Some monthsago, when Baxter and Will
s on issued their circular, proposing to dis
band the old reasonable Democratic organ
ization and take part in the Cincinnati
movement, our friend Ivens raised his
hands in holy horror. What dis band
the Democracy. Never, was his spirited
reply. But in the course of time Greeley
was launched out onto the troubled sea Of
politics. His compass was set and his
pilot was steering straight for the Demo-
cratic port. Then WINS signaled the.
new craft and said we will take YOU into
our haibor but you must sail under the
old Democratic flag We can not lower
that. This was progress though for the
Post. We thought il was a pretty big
jump for one year. But WINS last lean.
still more surprises us. In his last
issue he not only pledges anew
his loyalty for Greeley but he re-
joces in the chance to vote for
{ be old abolIonist because it will "bustu
{ he Democracy wide open.u Yes. read
er, it is so. He says GreeIey's election.
will destroy both parties and give us newer
and Letter organizations. Wins for Gree
ley and for "busting'' the Democracy >
Surely this is a wonderful year for poIiti-
cal revolutions.

DEATH OF THE VICTIM.

VI.
About O'Clock yesterday morning Policemen
Balster and Offers discovered lying on the pave
ment on Dallas street a white woman, named
Mary Reagan, apparently about 40 years OF age,
IN An lnsensible condition, and procuring a
wagon they removed her to the eastern station
house. H'. y. NJ. Sullivan, the physician to the
station, was at once sent for and promptly re-
spOnded TO the summone The physician f0und
the poor woman suffering from an injury which
she appeared to be too modest to divulge even
to physician, and after prescribing for her he
aavlsed that she be Immediately sent to the
Bayv1eW asylum. On the driver arriving at
the Bayvlew 1t was found that the unfortunate
woman was dead. The body was at once
brought back to the city, and in the meantime,
from information received at the station. house
John Bush, German, was taken into CUSTODY
coroner Sultzer was notified, and proceeded to
summon jury. Several witnesses were exam
lned, whose Testimony was to the effect that
John Bush occupied q house on Dallas street;
mat on Sunday morning the deceased was en-
gagged by Bush a. housekeeper; that early yes
te day morning several of the witnesses, resd-
ing IA fhe vicinity of Bush's house, saw the
deceased. and that she complained of having
been badly treated by Bush, but in what way
the jury were unable 10 ascertain, owing to the
lact thai the female witnesses, who, with one
exception, were Germans, were unable to speak
or understand English. They all, however, de-
ciared that the deceased had been ba lIy treated.
Dr. Sullivan testified that he had made a post
moItem examination, but the main points Of his
testimony were only proper to 60 before the
grand jury, and unsuited for publication. The
DOCTOR, however, stated that he found by his ex-
animation the deceased had every appearance
OF having been q virtuous woman and that she
no doubt came to her death from injuries of a
most revolving character; she bore no evidence
whatever OF having been loose char acter. Her
under lip appeared to have been severely bitten
and there were marks OF violence on her arms
and other psrts Of her person. On viewing
the body the jury were fully impressed with the
fact that the deceased had been a woman OF
pleasing and progressing appearance, and
after some elaboration they rendered verdict
that "Aary Reagan came to her death from the
abuse Of hex person at the hands of John Bush.
and for want Of proper attention." On the rem
dition OF the verdict Coroner Sultzer committed
John Bush to Jail to await the action Of the
