VIKpECATED Az LAST.

We congratulate the people OF Ten
nessee upon the conclusion Of the IN
vestigation into the sale of the Comp
troner's Office, and more especially IN
view Of the complete and triumphant
vindication Of its present officials from
even a suspicion of completely in so
disreputable "a transaction. Ia the
UNION AND AMERICAN Of this morn
ing will be found testimony Of Mr..
John Frierson, with a summary
of his entire statement, and this
doubtless closes the only remain
ing link in the map Of evidence.
We refrain from any extended
comments upon the matter as whole
until after the report Of the committee.
None Of our readers are, however, ig-
norant Of the results of the labors Of
the committee, and, before the report
shall have been submitted, the verdict
of popular opinion VIII have been
formed. The labors Of the committee
have been arduous. With patience
and energy they have given themselves
to the duty Of probing to the bottom
the whole matter. Nothing has been
left to surmise or conjecture, but the
widest latitude Of investigation has
been INDUCED and the strictest scru-
tiny given.
1t is hardly necessary to say that,
so far from duplicating, either direct
" or indirectly, Gov. Brown or Comp
troller Burch, the evidence is a pos
tive vindicatlon of both gentle
men and completely rebuts and mega
tives even a suspicion or inference
to the discredit Of either. Every taint
of suspicion cast by charge, assertion
or inuendo against the Governor and
Comptroller is removed, and the dignity
and honor Of Tennessee, as represented
by those high officials, has not been
tarnished, but shines forth as pure and
unsulhed as ever.

HOTRE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Mr. Monroe Of
fered resolution calling on the Attorney
General for information, as to what steps
should be taken TO secure from each State
the fnllflment Of its contract, to preserve,
undiminished, the principal Of the fund
derived from the sale Of lands granted uT-
der the Agricultural College bill. Adopted.
Mr.. 0'Brien, Of Maryland, asked leave
to offer a resolution calling on the Presi-
dent by what authority the courts or Offi-
GERS Of Mississippi at VicksbuTg have been
interferred with by the army.
Mr. COnger objected, because that was an
assumption that they bad been interfered
with.
Mr.. Garland, from the Committee on
Appropriations, reported a bill spprOpria-
ting SIS, 800 in coin to pay the interest on
the three-Sixty bonds of the District Of
Columbia. Ordered printed and recon-
mitted.
Mr.. Butler, Of Massachusetts, by unani-
nous consent, Introduced a bill authOriz-
ing Lieutenant Commander Frederick
PiersOn to accept from the Queen Of Great
Britain, the decoration of the military
order Of Bath, for gallant services in the
combined attack on the Japanese forts and
piratical vessels. Passed.

mittee Of the Whole on the private calen-

the Democratic party, but for fear thar
hundreds of good people IN the land would
be murdered. The party would be power
less to keep back these outlaws. IL the
Democrats had q majority inthe Louisiana
Legislature, let them have it. he was
sure none Of the Republican Senators here
desired to keep them out. He mex 70
ferred to the troubles in COliax ano
Coushatta, and said, when crime was COM
mitted in the North the perpetrators were
promptly punished. He was willing e DO
anything in his power to secure to the peo-
pie Of Louisiana the right Of self-goVern
ment, but they must themselves respect the
8gbt.
Mr.. Johnston, of Virginia, said there had
been much general denunciation during
this debate Of the Southern people, and
they had been assailed with the utmost
bitterness. He was willing to compare
Virginia with any other State inthe Union,
North or South, in respect to Obedienee TO
law and the observance of the rights of law.
He doubted the sincerity Of those Senators
who made so much here Of what they called
attempts to stir up a new rebellion. He
denied that any such feeling existed in the
South. Mr.. Johnston then proceeded to re-
view the events which took place in New
Orleans, but before concluding yielded
tOlAlr. MerrimOn for a motion for an execu-
tive session. After executive. session the
Senate adjourned.

that Col. Burch was then spoken Of as his
probable successor; witness never heard
Gov. Brown express himself about a single
man except his friend Childress, and that
was mere opinion Of him; was never init
mate with Hobbs; Hobbs had poured his
confidence into him and had approach
Ell him as man that wanted
sympathy, and had no friends;
had firm faith that friend Of the States
credit would be appointed Hobbs success
sOr; was satisfied that Gov. Brown would
appoint a man favorable to the States
credit; did not know Of any combination to
secure the passage Of the Funding bill.
In answer 10 q question as to why he
refused to appear before the COMMITTEES,
witness stated that the infomOtion he had
received from Hobbs was strictly conf
Dental.
Hobbs attorney told witness that he
would advise Hobbs to leave the State;
witness desired, as far as was in his power,
to keep his word with these parties; ne
thought Mr. House was in New Y York until
he saw him, few days ago, in Alabama,
after he had given in his testimony before
the committee; witness told House that
the testimony Of Hobbs would necessarily
compel witness to 60 home and protect
himself.

A MORNING MURDER.
The Maxwell House Watehman Fatally
Shot in the Performance OF
His Duty.
Raymond Thomas, a Drunken Ex.Fire-
man, Does the Bloody Deed.

About two o'clock this morning, Ray
mOnd Thomas, who had been employed
until recently as a fireman in the Maxwell
House, went down to the engine room
and there found Grub Coleman. He com
menced 10 abuse Coleman, and was so
rough in his usage that the night watch
man, Joseph Deibl, heard the disturbance
and ordered him to desist. Thomas asked
whether Delhi intended to interfere with
him, and Delhi answered that he would Ger
tainly do so If there was any further trouble.
He had hardly ceased speaking when
Thomas caught up a hammer and struck
him a violent blow. Delhi, though some
what stunned, promptly knocked Thomas
down and commenced 10 beat him. Thomas
then promised that if Delhi would let him
up he would make no more disturbance.
De.hl desisted, and soon afterWard went
up stairs to wash the blood from his face.
While thus engaged, he learned that
Thomas had gone up to the freman's
rOOrD. On reaching that part
Of the building and opening the door Of
the room mentioned, he found Thomas in
side and asked him what he was doing
there. Almost Immediately afterward,
Thomas drew pistol and fired, the ball
taking eject over DeihPs LEFT eye
and inhcting a mortal wOunGs The muT-
derer then passed down the steps, through
the Office and out at the front door before
means could be taken to secure him. He
was, however, captured a short time after
ward.
Diehl has been employed in the Max
House for about twelve months, and was
remarkably quiet and inOfensive in his de-
meanor, though very efficient in his duties
BE was a great favOTite with the guests.
Thomas has been out Of employment
since he was discharged from the Maxwell
House, and was drunk at the time Of the
shooting.
Up to four o'clock this morning, Diehl
was still alive, but was not expected to sur
vive more than an hour or two. The
wound presented a CHASTITY spectacle, as the
unfortunate mans brains oOzed therefrom.

SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.
a Nebraska Comp d'Etst-Tbayer Out
yyitfed and Left I'm the Lureh.

OMAHA, jan. 22.-Judge Dundy with
drew from the Senate contest at one
O'Clock this morning, and the opposition to
Gen. Thayer then agreed upon Hon. A. ).
Paddock, Republican, formerly acting Gov
ernOr Of Nebraska when a territory. In
Joint convention this noon, the first ballot
stood: For Gen. Thayer II, A. S. Paddock
81, Martin /, Patrick (Dem.) l. The ex-
citement is intense and the surprise gen.
eral, as it was supposed Thayer had secured
a majority, and would be elected to-day.
Algernon Sidney Paddock, elected to sue
ceed Senator Upton, is native of st. Law
renee county, n. Y, and is about A years
old. He is d,stantly related TO Gideon
Welles, General and Senator Sherman. He
has been a resident Of Nebraska since
1856. In 1868. he was appointed
Governor Of Wyoming, but Withdrew,
owing to no appropriation TO deiray the
expenses of the territorial government
having been made. ThOugha conservative
Republican, Mr. Paddock IS full Of sym
pathy with the party and will doubtless
act and cooperate with it in the future.
His election was secured mainly as COM
promise between the opponents OF the
strongest Republican candidate, Gen.
Thayer.

ONE WORD MORE ABOUT THE SEN
AT0REHIP.

The ballotings for Senator for the
last four days by the Legislature-a
Legislature almost unanimously Demo
cratic-have developed the fact that
there are personal preferences for can
didates, which seem to be irreconcila-
bic. A few scatter, bat the members
as a body stock to their friends. The
candidates themselves appear to be
stubborn in their purpose to find their
ultimate standing before the people, as
NAV be seen from the final vote cast by
the representatives of the people.
Possibly. the result Of such a contest
may not only dizsatisfy a majority of
the people, but lead to such divisions
as will seriously embaTass the Demo-
cratic party future efforts 70 con-
troll the policy of the State in its inter-
nal affairs, and IN It's relations to Fed
eral politics. Such q contingency
should. in our estimation, be carefully
AVOIDED. While we have abstained
from expressing any preference
for eitEer one or the other
of the distia- -uished Democrats as
piring to the Senas sorship, we deem it
proper to state this much, forlnforma-
ton to the people as ven as
warning TO those who may, in tbA heat
Of personal feeling, have forgotten
that the people themselves, IN thelrcWn
paramount rule, have a greater interest
IN selecting the man, who is to be Sen
ator, and the calm and unselfsh man
ner he is chosen, than any aspirant to
the position or their Legislative
friends.
