ROBBERY.
An Organized Clan Captured
at LynnVilIe.

Lynnville was thrown into a great
state Of excitement last Thursday night
when it became known that the store
house of Mr.. Shade Kellum had been
robbed while the proprietor was absent
at prayer-meeting. The front window
was priced open with a chisel and the
desk in the Office broken into and rob-
bed Of $287, 80. Suspicion had already
rested on four young men OF the vicin-
ity and they had been implicated in the
stealing OF sund-y articles from Mitch
ellis saloon, but had not been prosecuted
on account of their families, and accord
ingly warrants were taken out for Mi
rabeau Clark, Buck Garrett, Abe Rig
gins and George higgins, and they were
at once arrested. They at once con-
fessed the crime, and were taken before
Esq. Shields, who committed them 70
Jail, and they were brought to Pulaski
the next day and are now in jail. Gar
rett, we believe, was not present at the
robbing OF Mr.. Keilum's store, but it Is
said was a member of the clan and was
to get his part of the spOils. IL appears
that they had been waiting an Oppor-
tunity for some time, and all were not
present when 1t presented itself. Each
man received $40 of the amount, and
the balance was buried. They told
amount was recovered. The same par
ties acknowledged to having went into
Mitchell's saloon, Fergerson's store and
Wilson's store several times, i'm the lat
ter of which they frequently slep;,
leaving and closing the window by
which they entered before Mr.. Wilson
would come down in the morning.
They had also robbed Mr.. Wheatly at
the depot on several occasions getting
money to the amount of $3.50.
These facts are all told by themselves,
and they are corrOborated by circum-
stance. This is a sad blow to the fami-
lies of Clark and Garrett, who are very
respectfully connected. The boys are
young and were doubtless led into these
evil habits by the Higgins, who about
year since moved to Lynnville from Ill
inois. We are extremely sorry that
this blow should have beiallen the re-
latives of these mis-led young men, and
we hope that some means may be insti-
tuted to correct them without subject
ing them to that Odium that will forever
follow term spent in the penitentiary.
They are responsible, however, and jus
tice looks not to extraneOus connections.

Gov. Jno. C. Brown.

Our distinguished fellOw-citizen, Gov.
JnO. G. Brown, after the arduous labOrs
of the past four years, as Governor of
Tennessee, during which time he has
done more hard work and more for the
tax-ridden people OF the State than any
other man who ever filled the chair, is
glad to return home and settle down
again to the practice of his profession.
His sacrifices to the State have been
great, and the people will appreciate it
some day, If they do not now. Since
his return home his office has been al
most. constantly thronged with his many
friends and admirers, extending to him
a cordial welcome back to the quiet
peaceful shades of life, and expressing
their joy at his return. Many of us
were fearful he would not again settle
in Pulaski, having but recently sold his
beautiful home to the Trustees of Martin
College, and thereby partially severed
the pecuniary tie which bound him to
Pulaski. But there are other ties more
sacred and even more lasting than this.
He occupies too high place in the al
fections of the people here among whom
he was born and by whom he has been
encouraged and promoted, to lightly
throw off his allegiance to Giles. He
has never intended to live anywhere but
copy the following from the Browns
vile Bee:
Time will vindicate the administ ration Of
Gov. John G. Brown, and even those who
have been prejudiced 10y false representa-
tions against it. will become his wRrmest
| friends and admirers as the results OF his
| policy manifest themselves. since he be-
| came Governor, the State debt has been re-
duced nearly oLe-half, until 1t now does not
| exceed S2l 200, 900, which the State will have
| to pay. Tho rate of taxation has been re-
| duced from so to 40 cents, and yet the inter
est on the State debt, that legacy left US by
/ Radical misrnle, has boon paid, thing that
mad not been done before in years. An admi-
rAble Free School System has been esLab

many counties where the people have takeI

been of immense utility, and has reflected
and yet reflects, great credit upon the State.
| Lawlessness has been suppressed, and yet tbs

been secured to our citizens.
Well may every Tennessesan, and especi

We call special attention to the adver-
tisement of Messrs. Augustine & Co. in
this issue. The wines advertised are
pronounced by the best dealers and
Judges in Nashville and elsewhere to be
very superior and remarkably cheap.
Orders are rapidly flowing Uneven
from Nashville dealers-One of whom
proposed TO take the whole vintage foI

every body to have a chance at them
Home folks will be pleased that they
can get all kinds of slips from the Vine

a jug of this delicious fluid came into
this office last evening, and an accom-
panying note hoped that ''the Concord

cord, but that it will fully accord with
the fastidious palates of the Messrs

WASHINGTON
Birthday Tributes to the
Father of His Country.

Monday, Feb 22d, was observed III all
the principal cities of the United States
as the anniversary of the day which
gave to the world the semblance of a
man destined TO rank highest in the an
nails of the new world the Father of Free
doom, the .Valorous Victer, the Right
eOus Ruler, GEORGE WAsHNGToNl The
the North rang with prisons in praise,
and the South caught the refrain, and
with loud prolonged cheer it echoed from
ocean to ocean, till all sectional feuds amp
and difference were swallowed up and
forgotten in the enthusiastic feeling of
patriotism that pervaded all breasts.
Nashville never had such a demon
stration before. Old and young, of all
trades and professions, male and female
Confederate and Federal, all Joined in
harmonious accord to celebrate this
greatest of national Holidays. The
streets were crowded with professions
and spectators, hOusetops and windows
revealed scores of faces, artistic trap
pings and festOOns of flowers bedecked
long lines of vehicles, while above all
with reverence and patriotic awe the
Stars and Stripes were borne alOtt, the
grandest emblem of the occasion. Who
shall say that treason is an inalienable
principle, or that patiOtism is confined
TO sections and not heartsl The chRsm
is indeed closed and cursed be the artisan
who first converts a brothers pruning
hook into a sword to stab a brothers

The Southern Farmers Friend.

That excellent weekly Agricultural paper,
Our Home Journal, commenced its eth vol
ume in January of this year. This is with
out doubt, tbs most Valuable Weekly Agri-
cultural Journal in the South, and every live
farmer and planter ought to be q constant
reader of it, as any enc number is worth
the subscription price Of the paper, which
has been reduced to 90 IS per year, includ-
ing postage. Aside from This, the publisher
gives a most magnificent Chrome, which a
lone is worth all that is charged for the
paper. As an Agricultural and family paper,
Our Home Journal cannot fail to be popular
for its large corps of editors and contributors
from nearly every section of the South, aid
in making it of great value to the farmer and
planter, in all their various pursuits.

telligent planter and farmer in the South to
subscribe for and read it, weekly. Aside
from its valuable Agricultural matter it con
tains a complete market report, the impor-

ing for the family. 1t is printed on fine book
paper, and is decidedly the neatest weekly

Andy Johnson's election to the Senate has
received a new significance from the way il
is regarded by the reputation party. The
New England Reform y League, at its meet
ing in Boston, Feb. l, adopted the following
resolution:
Resolved, that the election of Andrew
johnson to the United States Senate IS an in
direct Endorsement of our doctrine, that con-
tracts involving usury are morally void; anC
the South will ultimately unite with the in
dustrial masses of the North in decreeing the
reputation, not only ofthe fictitious nation
al war debt, but of all other so-ca.led debts
the principal whereof has been paid in thG
form of interest"
1t will bs remembered that Mr.. johnson
in one of his official communications, tool
the ground that when the United States had
paid, in the shape ofinterest, a sum equal tC
the principal of the debt, then the principa
should be considered as paid. The Boston
regulators have evidently selected johnson
as their leader, and the ex-President may yet
become conspicuous as the champion of thai
policy. Chicago Tribune.
