THE MeKINLY MURDER.
Release Of James Bush on $1,000

Release Of James Bush on $4,000
Bail.
Our readers doubtless remember the facts
connected with the murder of Dick Nc
Kinly, a helpless old negro, in Putnam
county, on the night Of the 18th Of August
last, and that one Frank Hall confessed
that himself, Alex. Draper, Tim Apple, Jas.
Petty, Jr., BlOOth Callicut, James and John
Bush and Carell Reed had deliberately
killed the old man, being in disguise at the
time.
CallieU: and James Bush were arrested
soon after, the former placed with Hall in
the Putnam county Jail, and the latter con-
fined in the Jail Of Smith county. A few
nights thereafter, Hall and Callicut were
taken from the Jail by large party OF
masked men, Hall brutally murdered and
Cailicul released. Judge Fite then ordered
Bush removed from Smith county Jail to
the Davidson county Jail, and about ten
days ago CaAicut was re-eaptured and
brought to Nashville for safe-keeping, two
men-E. E.. Ii. Roberts and Thomas
Misunderstanding been arrested IN
Jackson county a few days before and
brought to Nashville on the charge Of be-
ing implicated in the assault upon the Put
nam county Jail, and murder Of Hall.
Yesterday petition for the release OF
James Bush was argued before Judge
Guild and granted, the prisoner being rep
resented by John r. Murray, of Cookeyille,
Gen Quarles appearing fort State. Sew
eral witnesses from Smith county were in
attendance, among them John Bush, father
of the prisoner, Joshua Dickens, ThOs. ORA
per, Jas. Draper, Apple, Elizabeth Ap-
pie, and Martha Jane Apple. The three
latter swore positively that Bush was at
their house the night Mckinley was killed,
and as there was but little evidence offered
OF the part Of the State, Bush was released
on $4,000 bond, half the amount being on
the charge Of going in disguise, and the ne
mainder on the charge Of numbering McKin-
ley. Dickens, the two Diapers and the
father Of the prisoner became his bonds
men.
While confined At the Jail Bush excited
a suspicion that he was not as ignorant as
be pretended. He claimed that he had
always lived on farm in Smith county,
and that he had never been ten miles away
from home. He said he did not know
where Jackson county was, though, accord
ing to his own account, he has always lived
within four miles of the line between
Smith and Jackson. Some Of the attaches
of the jail say, too, that he has heretofore
claimed that he was al different place en-
tirely, the night of the murder, to that tes-
titled to yesterday.
The killing of Mckinley was a horrible
afair-bloodthirsty and unprOyoked, and
all good citizens will unite in a wish that
the men who so cruelty put him TO death
may soon be brought to the punishment
they so richly deserve.

A Cold i'm the Head.

Life is but an empty show-a hollow
mockery, to the man with a cold in The
head. Be he naturally ever 50 ambitious
and energetic, when thus situated he de-
sires only to sit by the fire and mediate
and wipe his nose. Every bone in his body
aches, he loses his appetite, and his head
feels as though it We're as large as a crate
of croekery, and about as heavy. He has
but little inclinati n to carry on CONVEX
sation, or to hear others talk, but would
rather crawl off TO some secluded spot with
dozen CT so fresh bandkerchieis and there
remain, enwrapped in his misery. .t.La

denOunceS in strong terms the system of
military terrorism iDaugursted for the de-
feat of the Democratic ticket.
The SOmerUiIle Falcon pays this cOmpli-
ment to worthy and popular officer: ''Now
that the election is over, we suppose that
the United States troops stationed here will
be removed. As we predicted on their ar
rival, the troops have not molested or dis
turbed any one, and we will part withthem
with regret. So far from interfering in the
election, not soldier was allowed to come
up town on Tuesday, until after the polls
were closed. Such commanders as Major
Vance will soon convince Barbour that
United States officers are as far above do
ing his dirty political work as the heavens
are above the earth. They are gentlemen,
and accordingly are actuated by feelings of
honor and principle, of which the average
carpet-bagger never even dreams"

Capt. I. G.. Ryman writes 10 the EUdas
Uiite Courier that the steamers Shippers
Own and Bolivar III. Cooke, both familiar
to Nashville, are running and doing well.
The Cooke has cleared, since she was pur-
chased By her present owners, S7,1OO, and
is now making $50 per day. The Shippers
Own has done not so well, but has made this
past summer $500 by running as an indie
pendent freighter. She is now PLYING be-
tween Evansville and Cincinnati. The
purchasers hope to pay all that is ow-
ing on the Cooke, which they could do
now, except about s. 500, and then have
$4,000 Of stock for sale, or pro rata distri
button among the stockholders. Capt. Ry-
man says the two boats are not likely to
have any opposition next season, and
closes with ''the goose hangs high and love
~, and is still laying golden egs."
The Gen. Anderson, now, perhaps, the
Oldest steamboat running upon the Western
