Columbia is to have a new paper-the
Journal. While we are prepared to ex-
tend cordial welcome to the new conner
we cannot refrain from remarking that
the citizens of Maury must be superla-
lively fastidious if they are not entirely
satifed with the Herald and Mdu.-
Fayetteville Express.
Many thanks, friend Smith. The new
paper is run by two clever gentlemen,
and we give them a cordial welcome.
They think Columbia can sustain two pa
pers of the same politics, and we trust
they are right, whatever our private opin-
ion may be. For nearly nine years we
have been connected with the HERALD,
and during that time we have endeavored
to build up, with the small means at our
command, a good country newspaper
We have fallen far short Of our IDEAL but
not from lack of effort. Everything we
have made small as it is, we have put in
to the HERALD, and everything we make
in the future, shall be dedicated to the
same object. We have made journalism
our prOfessiOn,-we expect to work at 1t
all our life, and die in the harness; and
our highest ambition is to furnish the mo
Bile people of Maury with just such pa
per as they want and need. We hav G
been led, contrary to our practice, in to
this alusion to ourself by the very COM
plimentary notices of the HERALD AND
MAIL by the gifted editors of the Fayette-
vile Express and Franklin Rerie,o, and
by similar kind expressions in the press
all over the State.

The Whisky Ring Exposure.

New DIRK Tribune.
The assault of Secretary BristOw on
the Whisky Ring has surprised them in
their intrenchments. From the particu-
lars given the full and exclusive report
which we have the pleasure of printing
this morning, it is evident that this was
no ordinary undertaking, The Ring was
not only rich and powerful, it was almost
ubiquitous. Its paid agents were officers
in the Government employ, and corrup.
ton extended upward and downward
through all branches of the Internal Rev
euue service. Every movement toward in-
vcstigatiOn was instantly telegraphed
from Washington to the leaders of the
the Ring, The Secretary found himself
surrounded with spies. To get the evil
dence necessary to prove known frauds,
new men had to be employed who were
unknown to the Ring. 1t was not mere
ly desirable to carry on the investigations
without the aid of the machinery of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, it was absolute
ly requisite that no knowledge of the
work should reach that Bureau in any
FORM During one of the undertakings, the
the Ring actually endGavered to fOist uboE
the Secretary one of their own agents to
assist in the investigation, and this COun-
terplOt very nearly succeeded.
The ramifiCatiOnS of this conspiracy
have been very fully traced out. Its es-
timated profits exceeded 100000 per
year. A fixed percentage of these profits
was paid to the corrupted officials. Even
the early steps by which the corruption
was begun when new men were appoint
cd to office, have been ascertaiued. They
were persuaded that 1t was necessary to
defraud the Government in order to pro-
vide fund for election purposes. For
four years the Ring has grown in strength
and wealth, until it is now said that they
did not believe that any Secretary would
attempt their overthrow. The one mis-
take they seem to have made was that
they did not know Secretary Bristow.
The actual introduction of honesty and
reform into the department was some,
thing they were not prepared for. The
next question in order, now that by out
side methods the mysteries of the Whisky
Ring are exposed, is, what is the use of
the Internal Revenue Bureau?
No reference to this remarkable de
vclopment would be complete, which did
not express the most cordial recognition
of Secretary Bristow's admirable work,
and of the exceptionally hearty manner
in which the President has supported
him

Death Of Gen. BRECKENRIDGE,

4 was announced in Louisville last
Wednesday that Gen Breckenridge was
dead, and we so published. 1t was a
mistake, hOwever-he did not die until
last Monday evening. Gen. Breckenridge
vas born near Lexington, Ky, Jan. q,
1921, and was IS years old when he died
He served as Major in the Mexican War,
and in 1851 was elected to Congress. In
1856 he was elected Vice President of the
United States, being 35 years old, which
made him the youngest man ever elected
20 that Office. In 1856 he'ran for the Presi.
dency, and secured the votes of all the
cotton States. He was defeated, but was
elected United States Senator from Ken
Gcky. When actual war began he was ex-
belled, and came South to help the Con-
federRCy. He was made Major General,
and there was no truer, Drawer or more
thselfsh man in the Confederate army.
He fought without desire of promotion,
and always bore the brunt of battle No
sOmmOn soldier ever came in contact
With him without feeling that Gen. Breck-
iBridge was the noblest man in the army.
He was one of the noblcst looking men
We ever beheld-hc had grand form and
= magnificent taCc-such an one as the
old Greek sculptors would have delighted
20 immOrtalize in marble. The last time
We ever beheld him he was riding in front
Of his division at Chickamauga, at sun
down Sunday evening, in the charge that
drove the invincIblc Thomas corps from
the field In 1868 he was appointed Sec
rotary of War, and occupied that position
With signal ability lie went to Europe
after the Surrender, and returned in 1868,
and has since remained quietly at home
in Lexington, Ky. He has Pcrsistcntly
kept out of politics, and his conduct has
bsen such as to command the respect and
6ommendatiom even of some Of his old
Dad bitter enemies. OF all the Con(cde-
NnG&sNL he was most earnestly hated by
CASsOnists during the war, because Of the
&% position he had occupied in the
rsn6n. Although idolizcd 10y the entire
SonSt, and especially by Kentucky, no
tseal Utterancc has ever been given
y afe public. Several years since he had
SSaHsiOn 10 pass through Nashville, and
Separations were made to give him a
magnificent reception, but he kindly and
Psr~istently declined the honor. On one
occasion, when practising in the courts
Ofhis native town, he offered a resolution,
Shich was unanimously adopted that all
military titles he dropped. This same
Selling was in him when he came to die
he requested in his dying will that his
funeral be modest one And so the
modest Roman of them all eli all the
ENng Conicdcratcs-is gone He and
Gen. Lee were the only leading cN-Con-
Eederates who have kept out Of print, aud
bean as grand in defeat as in victory and
prosperity.

Death Of General BreCkim-
ridge.

LEXINGTON, May I7.---Gen. John C.
Breckenridge died in this city this eve
ming of abscess ofthe liver combined with
consumption. His last hours were quiet
and peaceful He was conscious, appar-
emily, up to within few moments of his
death. There was no scene, no last words,
nothing ostentatious in the manner
with which the sufferer met his fate. He
died as he lived, modest and brave. The
only illusions he made to death we're once
after the operation performed on him last
week by Drs. Sayre and Gross, when he
said he felt SO comfortable he believed
modification had set in, and again in his
will, made the next day by Mr.. Deck, in
which he used these words After all my
just debts, which are few and small, and
the expense of modest funeral are paid,
! desire" etc.
Around the death bed of the General
were his wife, two daughters, one son and
a few other immediate relatives. In &C
cordance with his wish and the desire of
the family, the funeral will be a modest
one. 1t will take place on Wednesday
evening at 4 o clock.
