Farewell to all It's Great
ness.

The Chicago Tribune, after
devoting nearly two columns to
y recountal Of the manifold
blessings conferred upor the
country by the great Republi-
can party winds up with this
admission: "The Republican
party, however, is now practi-
calIy out of power" 1t would
seem that a party in that con-
dition, by the fiat Of last No
vember's ballot, ought to have
the decency to step aside. But
the Tribune thinks there is still
= great work which it can do iii
connection with reconstruction,
which is:
The future hopenot only of the
DaorO but of the South, is the
division of its people into two
great parties, Conservative and q
Progressive, and by division of
the colored vote between these
Two natural parties, they would

Life Insurance.


The Supreme Court Of Ten
hessee has just rendered de-
cision that Will receive general
approval. Mrs. Dora Murphy,
OF Nashville, sued the Southern
Life Insurance Co., of Mem
phis, to recover the amount Of a
policy issued to her husband,
Barney Murphy, on the 18th of
March, 1867. The policy was
issued insuring the life Of Bar
ney Murphy for tlfe use Of his
wife and children, in the amount
Of $1,000, for the term of his
natural life. Murphy died on
the 18th of January, 1870. The
premium for the first and Sec
end years Of the policy was du-
Iy paid, but for the third year,
when the assured died, it had
not al! been paid, but paid only
in part, to-wit: 81. This sum
was paid to W. Matt. Brown,
who, at the time, was the local
agent of the company at Nash
Vile, where the policy was Is
sued, and where Murphy lived
and died. Brown, from time to
time, called upon Murphy to
pay the balance Of the premium,
but be failed to do il. 1t was
agreed that Brown did not pay
the $11 over to the company, but
this was unknown to Murphy;
also, that at the time Of the pay
inent of the 81 he told Murphy
that if he did not pay the bal
ance the policy would be for
feited. 1t was shown that a cir
cular issued by the company in
1868 was received by Murphy,
and that Brown gave Murphy a
receipt for the 81. The re-
Ueipt, however, was not in the
record, nor was there any proof
as to its date or its terms. In
the circular referred to, dated
Coffee Southern Life Insurance
Co, Memphis, Tenn, ,
1863" the following passages
occur:
persons who wish to guard
against the contingencies to
which all are liable by getting
policy of insurance, are re-
ferrcd to the agent Of the COM
pany, if one has been appointed
in your neighborhood."
"All policies non-forfeited az
ter the second annual payment"
The chancellor at Nashville
thought that the widow was not
entitled to recover, and so de-
creed. From this decree she
appealed, and on the. Goth Of
February last the Supreme
Court decided that "the decree
Of the chancellor was erroneous,
and the same is reversed, with
costs of this court and the court

ran out and bent it over the
first negro's head he came to,
and this frightened the others
away.
The kilograms announced the
assassination throughout the
country, and every train that
arrived was crowded to its ut
most capacity, and by the day
Iappointed for laying the corpse
in state in the capitol there was
an immense crowd in the city.
We could from our window see
the Capitol Square and many
OF the leading streets Of the city
during the day following the as
sassination. Squads of soldiers
were seen going in every direc-
ton, and every nook and corner
were carefully searched for the
assassin. All the houses in the
city were draped in heavy
mourning; many Of them were
almost literally covered with
Grape. Every man that we
could see on the street had some
token of sorrow appended to
his person.
We could from our window see
the procession that followed the
remains from the white house to
the capitol. After the hearse
followed the family in carriages,
the cabinet in carriages, the
Presidents horse and long line
Of carriages occupied by dis
tinguished military men, politi-
clans and foreign minister's
Then came the soldiprs-infant-
ry, cavalry and marines-then a
tremendous concourse Of peo-
pie, q do not now remember
whether I have the order of the
procession stated correct or not
These were accompanied with
every variety of martial music
marines on the return to their
quarters passed Immediately I'M
der our window. They were
the finest looking and best
dressed body Of men chat I ev-
er saw; fully six feet high, hair
and whiskers trimmed alike
Their band discoursed thej best
music that it ever was my for
tune to listen to.
After the remains were placed
in the capitol the vast crowd lin
gercd to get a glimpse Of the
corpse, and many had to leave
and return another day before
they could see it. During the
days the corpse lay in state,
there was one continuous stream
Of people to and from the capt.
toI. The same display and GER
emOny were gone through with
when the remains were removed
frcm the capitol to the train,
where they Were placedin acoach
made specially for the purpose
Of conveying them through the
Northern cities, where pompous
andsolemn ceremonies were held
overthem. As to the capture of
Booth and his death, We saw no
excitement over the matter, and
what they said to us about it
was Of the nature of rumor and
not at all positive. Some of the
guards inclined to treat us
roughly OH account Of the assas-
sination. But most of them
held us in no way responsible
fer the death Of the President.
Soon after the assassination, we
were carried toe Johnson sIsland,
Ohio, and on our route we saw
every evidence Of the great re-
spect that the people paid to the
memory Of the deceased Pres
ident.

several months previous to Gen.
Lees surrender, were carried
to City Point, thence down the
james and up the Potomac riv-
ers to Washington, and there
lodged in the old capital Prison,
until they could be sent to 9th
er prisons'further North. It so
happened that a number Of
prisoners, including the writer,
were confined there at the time
Of the assassination Of Presi-
dent Lincoln, which is said to
have occurred about 9 O'clock
p. M, April 18th, 1865. The
news spread through the city
almost Immediately and pro-
duced the widest excitement
and confusion. So great was
this confusion and excitement,
that it cannot be described, nor
can its intensity be conceived
by one that was not in its midst.
The lights of The prison hav-
ing been blown out at 8 o'clock
and we Of course had retired,
but the noise and confusion
made by squads Of infantry and
the galloping cayalrymen, and
rushing of indignant and infu-
rated crowds Of people running
here and there to hear every III
NOR and surmise that was afOat,
clearly indicated that some I'M
usual event had transpired.-
And we further knew that what
ever had occurred was not graf
flying to the people Of the city
and Union soldiers, for the de-
mOnstratiOn was, from what we
could see and hear, very differ
ent to the one produced only a
few days previous by the recep-
ton Of the news Of Lees sur
render. Many were our sur
misses as to what was the cause
of the great tumult going on
within the city. None OF us
had the most distant idea that
it was caused by the assassina-
ton Of the President.
With me, it was difficult to
believe after hearing Of the as
.sassinatior, that a man could lie
found with reckless courage G.
nough to prompt him to per-
form such a deed, when it was
apparent that no good could
accrue to the South at that rar-
ticular juncture, when her cause
was on the ware and every hope
was extinct. The only solution
that | have for Booths rea-
son for assassination is that he
wanted to pass his name down
to posteutyconnected with some
tragical event Of history.
After some time we fell asleep
waking in the early morning to
hear and see the same tumult,
confusion and excitement that
greeted our ears in the former
part Of the night. Our first in
timation Of the assassination
was received from the LieGt-
Colonel commanding the Pris-
on, who came early to our room,
and being applied to by some
Of the prisoners for a permit to
go out in the city, Git had been
his custom TO let a few go each
day, being accompanied by a
guard his reply was that if you
were out on the street you would
be killed in ten minutes; Presi-
dent Lincoln was assassinated
last week. On our appearing
somewhat incredulous he went
out and sent us up a morning
paper from which we learned
the particulars. The Lieut.
Colonel had a battalion of cav
airy posted around heprison TO
protect us from any Infatuated
mob that might wish to wreak
vengeance on us, for as there
were in Washington a great
horde of negroes just freed
from the bonds of slavery and
