groups Of people gather about the Jail.
Your reporter was admittedto Bryant's cell
this afternoon with'Sheriff Mitchell and
found Bryant talking with some friends
and Deighbors of Alex. Steel, the man he
killed. He claimed be did the bloody deed
in self defense; that Steel fired at him
twice. and was about 10 fire again, when
he struck him in the head with a rock. In
conversation with your reporter Bryant
said he was perfectly willing 10
die, but that justice had not
been done him in the trial because
he had no money to spend. lie begs of all
visitors small sums Of money, and told the
reporter he wanted to be fixed up nice for
burial; that he wants to buy fine pair of
stockings and shoes. During the inter-
view, Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Nashville,
was admitted and heartily welcomed by
Bryant. Mr.. Anderson said he wanted 10
tell him how man acted who was exc
cuted by having his head cut OFF with an
axe. He then read: 'Oh, Death, where
is thy sting. Oh, Grave, where is thy vic
tory.7 Bryant clasped his hands feryently,
exclaiming: "That's so. that's so! bless the
Lord" he occupies the same quarters he
did over year before being taken to Nash
vile. He says he is going TO make a state
ment on the gallows tomorrow, and that
he does not really regret having
killed Steel, as it has resulted in his pre-

cheerful and hearty until Wednesday night
when the full horror of his position burst
upon him and he broke forth in lamehta-
tion, praying all night long. Rev. Nelson
Merry, who baptized him, will be here to-

pany Bryant to the scaffold. Player viii

THE TRIBUTE OF AN ADVERSARY.

Comptroller Burch has been so venom
ously assailed in certain quarters,
that the following kindly and just
2 mention Of him by Mr.. H. N. Snyder,
the editorial correspondent of the
Chattanooga CommerciaI-Repubhcan
is an agreeable diversion from parti-
san rancOr:
1--WE are under obligation to Col.
Burch for that kind attention which
characterizes the gentleman, and which
public officials too often failtO manifest
to one of the people. The affairs Of
the Comptroller's Office are in the hands
of man who has the ability to under
stand their importance, and the dispo-
. sition to give them careful attention.
p Those persons who are dissatisfied with
the assessment law, and opposed to the
funding measure, must consider that
Col. Burch is not responsible for the
adoption of either, but that it is his
duty as public officer to see that they
are fully carried out.

have been in session in this city for two
days on business connected with their State

trust TO be placed in the promise of
either Of the so-called great political
parties; that there are no questions that
ought TO divide the people of Indiana; that
the past dead issues should be buried with
the past, and that we should address our
selves to the living questions of the day,
we therefore invite the farmers and indus
trial classes generally, of Indiana, to meet
with us on Wednesday, June 10, in the
city Of indianapolis, TO devise ways and
means to bring about such reforms as will
emancipate our State from the intolerable
burdens heaped upon us by the misrule of
corrupt party politics. Come, let us take
counsel together.

He would take the comparison and would
reply to it that yard sticks were not re-
duced, but were kept to the standard of an
tiquity and of law. That was what he
wanted TO do with the currency. He de-
sired realities, not shadows; not the git of
fruits which tempt the eye, but turn to
ashes when they touched the lips. He be-
lieved the day was not far distant when the
cry would come up from those lowest down
in the scale of humble1aborers, on whom
the dead weight OF all depreciation would
fall with the most crushing power, cursing
the day when they were deluded by leger-
demain and sophistry.
Wanted-LocaI Currency.
Mr.. KasSon argued to convince the men
from the East that there was some good
sense and justice in the demand made by
the West and South for more banking IA
cilities. If the East did not want free
banking, the West did, in order to establish
what banks they could utilize. If the East
did not want an increase of currency, let
the West have it. The West and South
would be content if they could have what
banking facilities they could use. He
believed that in these respects the Senate
bill would be more beneficial to the people
of the West than the House bill. He put
it to his Western colleagues, however,
whether it would not be better to take ex-
clusiyely for the States that had deficiency
the $46, 1000, 900 which was all they could use
for some years to come, instead of adopting
free banking system for the West and
South.
Mr.. Randall addressed the House in
favor OF return to specie basis, and
against any increase of legal tenders or ma
tional bank notes.
Mr.. Roberts, Of New York, argued
against the bill.
AT the close Of the debate various amend
ments were offered by Messrs. Maynard,
Farwell, and Mitchell, and then Mr.. May
nard demanded the previous question.
The excitement, which had been
growing on the subject in the evening was
intensified, when the opponents of the bill,

ChicagO's Humiliation.

The new city government of Chicago,
which went into office with such ire
mendous majority a short time ago,
seems to be growing decidedly unpopu-
lar. If what the Chicago papers say
be the most disreputable set of men
ever elected to office. The Times, of a
recent date, says
The miserable, the unspeakably dis
reputable, combination of bummers,
ruffians, rum-guzzlers, political dead
beats, and place hunting lazzaroni, that
under the impudent style of peoples
party" 6 OF possession of Chicago at the
last city election, has gone to pieces in
one of the most disgraceful outrages
against common decency that ever
characterized degraded tribe of saw
ages. The onset of bowling mob of
ruffians upon committee of respecta-
bic ladies that visited the Council Cham
Der last Monday night, to demonstrate
against the repeal of the Sunday tip
ping law, can not be characterized in
the terms of condemnation that it de-
serves. 1t was the most vile and dis
graceful demonstration of the spirit of
ruf1ianism ever witnessed in this city.
Probably not another city in any civil
lied country on the globe has ever wit
messed, in time of peace, performance
so unspeakably brutal. An invading
army of barbarians, licensed to COM
nit any manner of outlawry, could
hardly have exhibited toward body Of
decent and well-behaved women q more
disgusting temper of diabolism. 1t was
the outspew of the slums and grogger-
les and brothels it was the grand army
of pimps, loafers, blacklegs, thieves,
and drunken roughs, marshaled to de-
fend scoundrelism andindecency against
the protest of virtue. The rufiianly
conduct of the performers was certainly
worthy of their thoroughly brutalized
nature.
"And this bowling mob of foul
mouthed ruflians was countenanced-
nay, was inspired to more brutal acts of
ruffianism, the approving presence
of the self-constituted leaders of the
so-called Peoples party.
"Shall people, devoured by tax eat
ing bummers, whose wives and daugh-
tiers are not safe from the brutal assaults
of ruffians in the highest city offices,
strike for God and the right with hui
man weapons, or shall they foolishly
fold their arms and wait for the Lord
to come down and wrestle with the bar
barians ?"
