4 MURDEROUS HUSBAND.
Still Another Phase of the Reynolds
Tragedy.

From the Knoxville Chronicle, March 10.
We were informed yesterday by a reliable
gentleman, who just returned from Rob
ertsville, that he learned there that man
named Perry Hull had been arrested in
Anderson county under the charge Of at
tempting TO murder his wife and sister-in-
law. The report is that he took them out
in field some distance from the house,
and there asked them whether they would
rather be killed in the field or in a cave
near by. They told him that if they had
to be killed, they would prefer the field, as
their bodies would then be found and
buried. He then proceeded TO execute his
threat, when BY some means both got hold
of him and held him, while with their
screams they procured assistance and he
was ARE ted. The cause given for this
unnatural deed is that the man had some
thing to do with the Reynolds murder, and
the women being acquainted with the facts,
he feared they would be used rs evidence
against him at some time. The above is
about all the facts our informant could
gather, and considers the information reli-
able. Where will the Reynolds matter end?

Stringent Law for Political Prisoners
During a contest to-day over an applica-
ton to bail the Grant parish prisoners, a
juror testified that in the cases of Crack,
Shank, Hodnat, Lewis and Hickman the
Jury stood ii for aequittal and one against.
For all the others the jury stood nine for
acquittal and three for conviction. Bail
was refused, the District Attorney stating
that the prisoners would be tried on ether
indictments at the neEs term Of the court

ADistriet Job.
The House then proceeded to the con-
sideration of business in relation to the
District of Columbia
A bill appropriating S250,000 for mason
ry, etc, for a bridge across the eastern
branch of the Potomac, near the present
Ancastia bridge, was reported from the
District Committee, and after discussion
the enacting clause was struck out.
The school shame.
The bill to provide for the payment of
school teachers in the district also gave
rise to discussion. The bill appropriates
S91, 900 for the pay of school teachers from
the first of September; 1878 to the first of
Marcn 1874, the money to be regarded as
an advance to be deducted from the monies
which Congress may hereafter appropriate
for expenditures in the district.
A long discussion followed as to the re-
lations of the District Government to the
State Government.
Mr.. Selham a member of the District
Committee moved to increase the appropri-
alton to 100000, as that sum would be
necessary for school expenses during the
present session and there was no probable
ity of their ever being paid in any other
way.
Mr.. Holman opposed the bill and argued
that the most Objectionable part of it was
that which declared it to be an advance
ment to be deducted from future appropri-
atiOns for expenditures in the face of the
declaration of the last session, that the
Board of Public Works should have no
power to make any expenditures on behalf
of the general government. He moved to
strike out that part of the bill.
Mr.. Pelham's amendment was rejected.
On motion of Mr.. Cotton, the provision
in reference to the deduction of the amount
appropriated for future appropriations for
was amended by striking out
the words ssfor expenditures
Mr.. Holman's amendment TO strike out
that whole provision was rejected.
Mr.. Merriam moved to strike out the
same provision, and insert in lieu of it a
provision authorizing and directing the
District authorities TO levy and collect a
tax to an amount equal to the appropria-
ton on personal property and on banks and
other corporations in the District.
Mr.. Merriam's amendment was agreed 10
yeas, 100; nays, 63.
The bill was laid aside to be reported
favOrably.
The committee then rose, and reported
back the bills which it had considered. A
bill giving the approval of Congress to the
route and termini of the AnocOntia and
Potomac railway in the District was passed.
The other two bills, the bridge bill and the
school teachers bill, were deferred till to-
morrow.

INSANE ASYLUM.
The East Tennessee InstffutiOn To-
Gated Near Knoxville.
Prom the knoXvilIe Chronicle, March -.

From the Knoxville Chronicle, March 70.
We learn that the Commissioners for the
location of the Insane Asylum for the
Eastern Division Of Tennessee have de
cided in favor Of purchasing Lyons View,
five miles west Of the city, on the Tennes-
see river, for the location Of that instItu-
tiOn. The property consists Of 800 acres Of
land, upon which is situated a fine mill site,
with a water power unsurpassed. The
price paid was SlJ,jO0, which is very cheap
for that property. We have heard gentle
men who know the yaiue Of property esti-
mate that this is worth from twenty 70
twenty-five thousand dollars, none placing
it below twenty. 4 large proportion Of the
land is the very best river bottom, while
the remainder is tie very choicest upland
In addition to the prOductiveness Of the
land, it is naturally one Of the most beau
tiful situations to be found anywhere. The
river and mountain scenery is unsurpassed
IL is one of the most healthful and pleasant
spots in the State. The place has been
visited by thousands of strangers, every one
OF whom has gone away fully impressed
with its attractive features. Artists have
visited the spCt and not a few oil paintings
representing il, adOrn the parlOTs Of those
who admire the fine arts, all over the cOun-
try. We know of no place better suited
for an institution Of the kind than this.
Future generations will bear testimony TO
the wisdom of the selection. In addition
to its charming features, the place is accessi-
bic. The Kingston turnpike passes within
a mile Of the place, and the road is excel
lent all the way from the city.

sensible and well-ncant, are cords all men
