DEATH OF LANDON
HAYNES.

Msny a heart in upper East
Tenn. will feel sad over the an
nouncement which leads this ar
ticle. Landon G. Haynes was not
only man Of brilliant talent, but
one Of large heart. He had many
admirers, and all his admirers loved
him. Commencing life under ad-
verse circumstances upon the stony
hills OF Carter, he arose to emin-
ence i'll the State and became no,
ted even beyond its limits, as one
of the most polished orators of the
day. The Nashville BANNER of
the 18th, says Of him:
Our dispatches from Memphis an
nounce the death Of Hon. Landon G..
Haynes, Of inflammation of the bowels,
Occupying prominent place in the
politics aud history OF his time, q
brief sketch of his career will be read
with interest. He was born in Carter
County, East Tennessee, and at the
time of his death was about fiftv-eight
years of age. From 1910 to I845 he
edited the Tennessee Sentinel publish
ed at JOnesbOro. In 1856 he served as
FlOater from Hawkins, Washington
and Sullivan. In l847 he was elected
TO the State Senate and served one
term He was returned to the Legis-
lature in 1919, and was elected Speak
er of the House of representatives.
In 1851 he became a candidate for
Congress against Andrew Johnson,
the Wings having no candidate in the
field. Mr.. Johnson defeated him ty a
small majority. He then went up TO
the Bar, having studied law under
Thomas A, r. Nelson. In 1853, the
Democrats being in the minority in
the Legislature, gave him a cOmpli-
mentary vote for United States Sena-
tor. En- 1857 he was the Democratic
nominee for Congress against Mr..
Nelson, and was beaten by 81 votes.
He was elected fOr the State at-large
on the Breckenridge ticket IN 1861, and
in 1852 was elected to the Confederate
Senate, and served until the surrender
When the war closed he settled in
Memphis, where he has been engaged
even since in the practice of law.
During the Senatorial election last
month he spent several days at the
capital, apparently in the enjoyment
Of excellent health. His was among
the many distinguished names can
vassed in connection with the Unites
States Senatorship. With the excep-
ton Of his canvass for Congress from
the Memphis where he had
established his residence since the war
he had not figured actively in poll
tics since the cessation of hostilitiCs.-
He was an able debater ana an effec-
tive speaker, in the forum or from the
hastings. The sudden death of so
great and good a man as LandOn G.
Haynes, clothes with gloom the minds
of thousands of friends who knew his
kindly social, legal and political worth.
Genial in temperament, devoted in
friendship and grand in eIoquence,
hardly any man Of his age had more
admitting friends than he.

EVENT and COMMENT

BY very large vote, the British
House of Commons informed John
Mitchell, that he il a convict liable to
arrest and ineligible to q seat in that
body-just such action as we have pre-
dicted in the article on our first page.
Gen. Longstreet goes to sheep-rais-
ing at Gainesville Ga, decidedly a
more decent business, than turning
with his sword upon his old soldiers
of the confederate army.
After going through a Senatorial
sweat OF % hours, Pinchback col

James Mcmahon, stung to insanity
by poverty, after pawning his vest for
75cts, jumped last "Wednesday from
the dome Of the Capitol at Washing
ton. He fell l78 feet on the roof OF the
main building and was instantly
killed.
Harper's gcckly saws. that OF the
I3S members of the 44th Congress from
the Southern States, ll2 were from

doubt an eXtravagant statement, but
it only shows that the Confederate
sin was wonderfully popular.
Gen. Wickham lost near $1,000
i'm State bonds, 10y the burning OF
his house in Hanover Co.
Both Houses ofthe w. Va. Legizla-
ture, have passed the bill to remove
the State Capitol TO Wheeling, the
Pan Handle city. Ia this case the
crude but expressive phraze is revers
ed, for the hide goes with the tall
Ninety days time is given.
Chester, Of the Petersburg NeIUS says
the Conservative party of the State is
threatened with disruption over the
Funding Bill. This may be q matter
OF threat, and no doubt. but that the
Funding Bill or the welfare of the
State the orc or the other, must be dis
ruptcd, is matter as certain as fate.

SCOTT VS.. GARRETT.

Perhaps the most startling devel-
opment Of the week is the open dec
laration of war by the Pennsylvania
Railroad against the Baltimore &
Chic. To understand the situation
the reader should be told that Col.
Scott CONTROLS the road between
New York and Philadelphia. The
line thence to Baltimore is the
Philadelphia Wilmington and Balti-
more road and is neutral as be-
tween these two railroad mOnarchS,
ghO have separate and Independent
lines from BIl;imOre west. Hereto
fore they have enjoyed equal facilities
in the use of the p. w. & B. road
and from Philadelphia to New York
Col. Garrett has been allowed to use
Col. SCOTS line in consideration Of
maintaining tue latter's schedule of
rates. Col. Scott now charges Gar
rett with bad faith and has Withdrawn
the use of his New York Il Philadel-
ia line from him and has also refused
to transport over it any cars from the
President St. Station in Baltimore,
that being the one that comets with
the Baltimore 4 Ohio road. The re-
suit is Garrett declares war to the
bitter end and hiss employed the old
Dominion Steam Ship Co. to connect
his line between Locust Point and
New York and. has cut down rates
from New York west ward at an I'M
predented rate. If the reader should
wish to known where Locust Point is
he will have to apply elsewhere for
his information,

wet muse for Mrs. Tilton, she in>
advcrtently opened the parlor
door and saw MIS- TiltOn sitting
on Beecher's lap, and quotes very
endearing language used by each
TO the other. This is not all, for
Mrs. TiltOn's own brother comes
into Court, and swe&rs to a similar
accidental discovery, with this diff
ference, that on his entrance, Mrs
Tilton under great confusion, vas
evidently rc.l eating from the por-
ton Of the room where Beccher
was. Lastly, we have the evidence
Of Mrs. Moulton, that both Beech"
er and Mrs. Tilton, confessed their
guilt to her, that Beechcr thanked
God he had found one woman to
whom he could talk on this great
sorrow Of his life, and that Mrs.
Tilton said if her confession should
become public through Tilton, she
would not hesitate to sacrifice her
husband TO save Beecher and her
children.
These are the newest features of
the case, They have astoniskcd
the public, and under all this test,
mony, it is asking too much Of hui
man nature 10 expect that the guilt
Of Beecher can longer be regarded
as doubtful.
