ton these historical facts to show that
the Williams family are by no means
unknown to fame. We are proud to
say that we took our first lessons in
politics from Col. John Williams, ST..
and if he were living we would be
together to-day,
Col. John Williams, whom we now
suggest for Senator, is q Conservative
Union man, as was Mr.. johnson, and
the latter with his well known views
on that subject, having been elected
as the representative of that element,
let the popular will be obeyed by APP
pointing the former. In addition to
Col. Williams, if he is not acceptable
to the Governor, we have Col. A.
Blizzard, of McNIinn county, Col.
Kyle or Col. John Netherland, of

HORRIBLE WIFE MURDER.
a Man Chops His wife and Children
I'm Pieces and Attempts 10 Burn


a Man Chops His wife and Children
In Pieces and Attempts 10 Burn
Them.
The Raleigh NetUS of the 18th SAYS
Our readers are already acquainted with
the horrible details of the murder i'm
February of the wife and child of Scott
Partin in this county, at the hands OF
the inbuman husband and father, but
the following additional facts which
have just come to light, make the com.
INITIAL of the horrible deed even more
heinous than it at first appeard
On Wednesday, another general
search was made To find the remaining
portions of the unfortunate woman
and child, which could not be found
in the hole in which portions of the
body was at first discovered which
search resulted in the discovering of
the place at which the brutal act was
committed. In heavy thicket some
quarter of a mile from the residence
of a. w. Partin, and about the same
distance from the spot at which the
first discovery was made, was found
what was evidently the scene Of the
murder. Near log, which bore traces
of having been cut by an axe, as if
something had been chopped upon it,
was found the remnants of q FIRE, anG
in the ashes and near the same was
found the bones of human foot and
those of hand, some of the teeth of a
human being, the skull of an infant
and portions of the unfortunate wo-
man, together wiJhthe buttons of a
dress, leaving no doubt of the fact that
the murderer had first chopped his wife
and child up and then endeavored to
destroy the pieces by burning them,
but finding the process too slow or haz-
ardous, had resorted to the plan of
burying them in the manner in which
they were discovered last week
His mother now states that Scott
Partin remained in the neighborhood
several days after the disappearance of
his wife and child; that some four
days subsequent to hi. leaving ner
house with his wife he came to the
house and borrowed guano bag and
obtained bis yarn coat, and that she
saw him pass several times across the
field between the place where the last
and first discoveries of the body were
made.
The feeling in the community where
this foul outrage was committed is still
intense aud the life of Scott Partin
would he far from safe in the hands of
those people.
THE MURDERER PROBABLY ARRESTED
y dispatch was received by the Gov
ern0r yesterday to the effect that man
answering the description Of Scott
Partin (the same to which we alluded
yesterday morning as having been
seen at Palmyra, Halifax county, had
been arrested between Palmyra and
Tarboro', and was held awaiting iden-
tification. Policeman Crosson left this
city for that locality Thursday night,
and as he is personally acquainted with
Partin, il the man arrested be the right
one he is doubtless at present in the
clutches of the law. If he be arrested
let not justice be slow in giving him
that death which his damnable deed so
richly merits.

MORE ABOUT THE SENATOR

Our Democratic friends don't ac-
cept either of the tickets we present
ed them upon the Senatorial question.
They need not be at q loss for the
right sort of q man, measuring by the
Democratic platform. We say, in
good faith, that if they want a young,
promising man, let then commission
James I. Shields. If they want q
man who is also a promising man and
man of good character, let them
commission Alfred Caldwell. If
they want q man devoted to the inter-
ests Of Tennessee and to her railroad
Improvements, as well rs our water
navigation, let them commission c.
NJ. McGhee. If they want a rising
man, of dignifed bearing, and political
life, together with fine personal APP
pearance, let them commission Col.
Moses White. If they want a man of
Senatorial age and experience, whose
purity Of character, high order of tai.
ent, and dignifed bearing would be
an honor to the State. let them COM
mission Hon. Robert j. Mckinney. If
they want an active, well informed
man, whose locks have been whitened
by the frosts of sixty winters, let
them commission Judge Van Dyke.
We extended our remarks to let the
public know East Tennessee can fur
nish suitable men, and is entitled to
the Senator. This is the point we
make, and the only point, that East
Tennessee must not be robbed of the
Senator.
