STORM AT KNOXVILLE.
The Bridge over the HOIstOn Almost
Totally Destroyed - Loss Between
FOFty-Rfve and fifty Thousand
DolIRFs-An n Old ReIIc
RTOkeB.

Knoxville Chronicle, May 3D.
Yesterday afternoon, between three
and four O'clock, heavy rain storm
passed over our city, and, by its work Of
destruction, damaged the county OF
Knox at least fOrty-fiVe thousand dol
lsrs in sweeping from its pillars the
county bridge over the HOlstOn river,
which only little over year ago was
completed at cost OF about one hundred
and sixty-tive thousand dollars. The
piniOn has been pretty freely expressed
that il the bridge had been properly con-
stTucted, il certainly could not have
been blown away by q storm which
failed to materially iDjure any other
property in the city. AS the storm ap-
preached, Mr.. Ford, the bridge-keeper,
and Mr.. Ellington, were in the little
office, and remained until the situation
became alarming, and the timIers Of
the bridge began TO give, when they
rushed out, and were seen right over the
second pillar as the first span gave way
and was hurled to the ground. Span
after span followed the one on which
the Office rested, until soon the seven
spans covering the river were hurled
below, q mass Of ruins. The timber Of
the bridge, or rather a large pOr-
ton of it, was soon floating down
the stream in q body, and We are in-
formed by eye witnesses that a man
could almost have crossed the river on
it. Great excitement prevailed for a
time owing TO the rumOr which pre-
vailed that two wagons were on the
bridge when it gave way and that the
drivers and teams were hurled in the
river. But this rumOr proved to be in
correct. The probable loss is estimated
to be from forty-five thousand to fifty
thousand dollars. The Charleston rail-
road bridge was slightly injured, the
roof of the draw-span being torn of.
The damage can be easily repaired.

JUSTICE IN TENNESSEE.
New York Herald.l


A Nashville negro shot policeman
dead. The negro was arres' ed and i'm
prisOned. The people Assem- Uied, and in
their anger broke open the Jail and took
the negro to the bridge to hang him. A
rope was put around his neck and the
poor wretch suspended from the bridge.
But the rope broke, the negro fell over
ninety feet upon the rocks beneath, and
rolled into the waters. rwo shots were
fired at him, and his body sank. We
do not remember to have read for long
time Of an act more cOwardly and brutal
than this killing. The negro was in
custody. There was no chance, no pre-
text that he would escape. The laws OF
Tennessee are clear and supreme, and
in city like Nashville-a southern city
controlled by the whites there was no
fear that an indulgent popular opinion
would arrest the operation Of the law.
But the man was negro, and the old
brutal feeling of the whites toward the
negro was allowed to bring dishonOr
upon justice in Tennessee and upon the
American name.

iashviue Union and American

NASHVILLE Union and American
On account of the fragrant outrage
against the law perpetrsted last Friday
night-a night which will be memorable
in the annals of Nashville-extraordi
nary interest attaches to the present
term of the criminal court. Especially
will the eye Of the public be upon the
grand jury, to whom Judge Frazier yes
terday read very lengthy written
charge. A representative Of the Union
and american was present, to catch
whatever might be said with reference
to the m0bbiDg Of Reed. When the
judge had read 10 the jury the portion OF
his charge relating to the State law
against ku-klux, he said he was re-
minded just there Of the terrible viola
ton of law in the streets of Nashville
a few nights before. He said the
"men who did it were guilty of
murder in the highest degree" !"
II a man, or clan of men, should take
the law in his or their own hands, and
put to death condemned culprit on the
way to the gallOws, it would be in the
most approved legal sense, murder in
the first degree. The Offense was ag-
gravated TO happen in place like Nash.
vile. 1t was the duty Of every man to
set his face to bring the perpetrators to
justice, and thus give the law a strong
arm. If in utter contempt of the law
and the courts mObs should be per-
mitted to deal out punishment to crimi-
nails, the law had as well be abolished.
No society cOuld live where such con-
duct was allowed; it would run into bar
barism and he4thenism. It was the
duty of the grand jury 10 look into this
violation Of law, and, if possible, bring
the guilty parties 10 punishment During
their term, the grand jury were the con
servatOrs OF the peace; extraordinary
responsibilities rested upon them during
their brief session. They were expected
to do what the officers OF the law
couldn't do. The peace and happiness
Of the community were in their hands,
and he trusted that the jury would feel
that it was something to be a grand jury.
A man rarely committed an Offsnse
without expecting to escape the penalty
through the Temissness OF the officers or
some defect in the enforcement of the
law; and if a few examples were made
by an energetic and Jealous grand jury,
lawlessness would be stopped. The GER
tainty of punishment had great deal
to do with deteTIing men from violating
the law. He trusted the grand Jury
would see to it that these parties who
set themselves above all law should be
brought to justice.
The names OF the grand jury are as
follows: Levi Moses, foreman; James
Cotton, w. s. Morton, VIM. Petway,
w. p. Mitchell, J. T. Crowds, @. w.
Gleaves, P. n. Compton, Adam Good
lett, D. A. Phelanr A. II. Warren, John
Leonard and q. n. Hyman.
