Fsy- The bill to make Grant military
dictator for the remainder of his term
and secure his election as the future
dictator of America, known as the Force
Bill, Is before the Senate mt this writing
upon an amendment to the 18th section
limiting the suspension OF the Wit OF
hdbeas corpus to Louisiana, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Alabama, and limiting
the time for its operation 10 two years
or TO the end of the next Congress.
There Is a faint hope now that the vii
lains may be defeated in it's passage by
some sort of strategy on the part OF
Democrats, until the expiration of the
noon hour to-day, at which time the
session ends by limitation, and the de-
structive legislation of Congress must
cease. This bill is even more infamous
and more subversiYe of civil liberty
than the "sum of villainies" just passed,
known as the civil rights bill, because
the latter may be repealed, II unsup-
ported by the other, while the former is
Intended to perpetuate the power OF the
present dynasty so as to render repeal
impossible, and to throttle republican
ism in America for all time to come.

CONGRESS Adjourns To-day.

The people of America will breathe
more freely after noon to-day, for at that
hour the infamous 43d Congress ceases
to exist. Its latter proceedings have
been characterized by more high-handed
villainy, greater disregard Of oonstl-
tutional law, and a more reckless re-
gard for justice and civil liberty, than
any deliberative body ever before as
sembled in a legislative capacity. IL

The close OF the second annual meet
ing Of the State Sportsmen's Association.
on Saturday last, recalls the fact that the
meeting. which convened on Monday last
aud closed on Saturday, was one Of the
largest gatherings of sportsmen that has
ever taken place on this continent. This
is what the Chicago Field" says, and it
is good authority on sporting matters.
Sportsmen and dogs were here from a
number Of States and from Canada, and
they to a man land il they could speak,
they to a dog would echo the above as
%sertion.

BENZ. Duncan; Secretary, +. R. Brennan;
Corresponding Secretary, NJ. L. Smelser;

bered with the dead aud they have
become as clods Of the valley. The
present officers of the club are: Presi-
dent, R. c. Nicholson; Vice President,
A. Merriman; Secretary and Treasurer,
Charles Leland. From the first tourna-
ment given by the Bluff City Shooting
Club to the sportsmen OF Tennessee

sportsmen all over the United States and
Canada as the Tennessee State Sports
mems Association. The officers of this

Western Methodist
With profound regret many brethren
will learn Of the death of the Rev. j. w.
Mathis, a superanuated member of the
Methodist Conference, long a sufferer
from consumption, and now its victim,
cut down in middle life. The Rev. DR..
g. Jones writes from Covington, Tenn.
October %: "0ur brother, the Rev. j.
W. Mathis, died in peace this morning
about five o'clock. Though he was con-
scious for a long while that the time of
his departure vas not far of, yet the
messenger came suddenly Finding
that the time had come, he told his be-
loved wife to sit down by him, that he
was dying, and he had but a few minutes
for words Of affectionate counsel before
be sank peacefully in death"
Our deceased brother was a sweet.
spirited, deeply pious, and devoted Chris.
tian, and was also a useful and pFomis-
ing preacher, until disease prevented the
regular exercise of his gifts. Since he
has labored as he was able, and suffered
patiently to the end. A memoir, doubt
less, will be prepared for publication, at
the approaching session OF the Memphis
Conference. We tender our heartfelt
sympathy TO the widow and orphaned
daughter Of our deceased brother. His
remains, accompanied by the bereaved
family and friends, we're taken from
Covington to Humboldt, or to his fathers s,
in that vicinity, for burial.

of a staid old citizen as they were riding
on the street car. OF course the old cit.

determined to commit suicide. While
going up stairs after her bonnet she got
mad and changed her mind. Walking into

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
sentence OF Frank Scott tuegro), who
was found guilty Of murder and SEN
fenced to hanged by u Criminal Court
on the charge of killing another negro
on Wolf river bridge some months ago.
The Supreme Court also affirmed the sem
tence Of the Bartlett Circuit Court which
found William Williams (aegro) guilty
of numbering another negro near Bart
lett. These murderous negroes are to
be hung on the Oath Of December, and
unless Governor Porter issues a reprieve
they will be hung by Sheriff Anderson

between the legal hours on the day afore-
