this government and that Of England over
the e%uadition Of Winslow, the Boston forg-

demanded the extrsdition OF Winslow for the

A MURDER DISCLOSED N A DREAM.
From tne snrln.ncld RepubIloan.

From tue Springfield Republican.
Isaac Randolph, the negro who muir.
dered hts wife at New Haven in the
spring Of 1850, gives notice that he
will apply to the next Legislature for a
release from State prison, to which he
was sentenced for life. The murder
created a great sensation, and the
story Of 1t is very interesting. He
killed the woman with wash board
during quarrel, and probably did not
intend to strike a fatal blow. After
the murder, Randolph cut the body up
and buried it IN his garden, planting
corn and beans over the spot. Sew
eral days after, RobeT Coe, the father
of the missing woman, related with
great impressiyeness, tie particulars
of dream which he had on three sue
cessive nights. He said that Mary
Anu came to him crawling on
her hands, and that when he
asked her why she did not walk,
she replied that she could not, for her
legs had been cut off. Each night she
appeared to him on the borders of a
small brook which then ran at the foot
of the garden. AT last the garden was
examined, and the body was found.

WHAT WAs DLsooYERED.

Our readers will doubtless re-
member that repeated charges have
within the past few months been
made, in regard to crooked things
about the Federal Court at Knox
vile. At last these charges were so
loudly made that they reached the
ear of Attorney General Pierrepont,
at Washington. As the result, it
seems that one Col. Asa Holt, a spe-
cial agent of the Department of JUS
tice, has been sent TO Knoxville with
instructions to Investigate, as to the
''crooked'' g so far as the same has
reference to the July term, 1875, ,
of that Court. This developed such
an amount of fraud as to justify the
agent in instituting suit in the u. S.
District Court for the District of
East Tennessee in behalf of the Uni
ted States against Crawford w.
Hall for about the sum of seven
thousand five hundred dollars, for
fees and other emoluments acquired
while he was Attorney General. The
Tribune, in publishing such facts as
it had been able to gather, makes in
cidental reference to the fact that
the present District Attorney. and
his predecessor. E. G. Camp, are not
natives of this climate, but hail, the
one from Ohio, and the other from
Michigan. The Chronicle thereupon,
true to its instincts, steps forward
to the general delivery and makes
one of its characteristic bowls over
this reference Of the Tribune, as fol-
lows:
We had fiattered ourselves that there
was no longer a paper in the State that
would thus deliberately appeal TO the
baser passions engendered by sectional
strife, and are heartily sorry that we are
deceived. The better sense of the COM
munity must revolt at the illusions made
to three worthy citizens, two of whom
are guilty of the great crime of being
born in Northern States
B'drot if the Chronicle doesn't mis-
understand the whole question 1t
isn't a fig that any one cares where
they were born and fetched up if
they don't steal and defraud the
people. 1t certainly does't think
that only Tennesseans should be
suspected of corruption and fraud ?

votes less than he received when he
run against Cheatham and John son.
Furthermore. Gov. Portes's vote
was only 5,472 crater than that of
Gov. Brown when his majority over
Freeman was only 1889. Now
figures are powerful logicians. The
conclusion to which these figures in
evitabIy drive us is that the Demo-
cratic party of Tennessee, in full
organization, as against its antago-
mist in like condition. has not more
than a majority of $4,000 to 20, 900
upon which to speculate.
We present these figures to show
to our friends upon what basis our
enemies are predicting their hopes
of success. We do it in the belief
that it is better to look all danger
squarely in the face than to go for
ward in blind confidence to possible
defeat. These figures teach US that
we have no safe margin upon which
to risk hazardous ventures. They
also convey the moral that every
power. high or low. now exercising
influence in the Democratic party of

to secure harmony and to add Rumer-

j The Successful Physician.
From the St. Louis Globe.

There is probaly no man to whom the
community owe so much as to the honest
fair-spoken physician, who does his ac-
tual duty both to himself and to his
patients Really skillful physicians are
not so hume rous that their virtues need
no mention, and hence the ADVERTISE
ment of Dr. R..V. Pierce, of Buffalo,
may well claim the readers attention.
DR.. Pierce is a type of a class of men
who obtain success by careful and we'll
directed effort, not attempting too much
or cheating false ideas as to ability.
The only reliable physician in these days
of complicated disorders and high-pres-
sure living is the Specialist, the man
who understands his one branch of the
business. Such in his line is Dr. Pierce.
For the benefit of his readers he has
written Common Sense Medical
Adviser" which is well worth reading
by those who need such a work With
srict business honor, high professional
skill, reasonable fees, and large corps
of competent assistants, DIR. Pierce will
doubtless make his name familiar as
household words. =

appointed to prepare resolutions ex-
pressiye of the views of the meeting
and the community on the currency
question. The able, exhaustive and
conclusive report of the committee
is too lengthy to copy in these col

embody the jist and substance of it:
1. Resolced, That the law providing for
the resumption of specie payments on
the list of January, 1876, should be inn
mediately repealed.
2. That any further contraction of the
volume of legal tender notes should
cease forthwith, and that the currency
should be increased to such an extent as
shall be adequate to and is demanded by
the wants and increased business,
trade and commerce of the people.
g. That to make gold the only legal
tender in the payment of debts would,
