morning before day break, Mrs. G. &.
Ch;mbliss Of Stewart county, was muir
dered by three negroes. They fired
fences and drew her husband away from
the house, and the negroes then pro
ceeded to the house to rob it and We're
met by Mrs. CIambiss, a beautiful Wo-
man, aged IL, armed with Il gun. One
negro, Harry Sncad, took the gun from
her and lodged its contents in her head,
causing death instantly. The negroes
burned corn crib and fled, but We're
pursued and captured. Jerry admitted
the deed and implicated his companions,
stephen Abram and VIM. Booth. They
We're brought to Chambiss' house that
afternoon, when it was unanimously de
clded by about BOO whites and blacks
present, that they should be hanged.
The gallows was erected and the muir
derers were hanged with trace chains.
The colored participants in the lynching
threw the liteless bodies into an old field
to rot, and with great difficulty the whites
persuaded them to permit their burial.
The culprlts met their fate jeeringly,
glorying in the deed and haunting their
cNccutloners. A cotton rope was first
used on Stephen Abrams, but it broke,
and he asked the crowd to get a stronger
one. No other rope could be found and
trace chains were used.

Ex-Governor Tilden on the Presidential
Election.

y prominent conservative citizen and juriSt of
Alabama, who has ust returned from New York
says, while there he called upon Governor Tildeu
and during the course of the interview he stated to
Tllden that the people of Alabama and all of the
Southern States had given their electoral votes to
him and considered that he had been legally elect
ed President. Believing this he thought he tIil
dem should have stood up for his lights and insist
ed upon the electoral votes being counted accord
ing to law, as it was expected when the election
held, that if the Senate had refused to count
all the votes east for HIM, the House of Rcprcscn
tatlves would have asserted its power and right and
proceeded to elect him President according to the
Constitution, and then the Southern men would
have rallied to his support to IA man. Mr.. Tiidcn.

cluded TO authorize his representatives here to ac

commission. In accepting the tribunal the Demo
cratic leaders here acted with his full knowledge
and approval Mr.. Tillen said that while he felt
that the Democratic party had been cheated out Of
their hard earned victory, there was some conSo-
lation in knowing that III 1880 they would sweep

made by Mr.. Tidcn that the election bill was pass

connection with the story put ailoat Il few DAYS

question, if an act can be got through Congress

Miss Anna E. Dickinson has been

Miss Anna Z. Dickinson has been
dragged into The courts as defendant in
a professional suit early in her theatrical
career. The statement of the case re-
veals rather peculiar agreement which
she made with her New York manager,
Mr.. Joseph Hart, professionally known
as Josh Hart. He sues Anna for $1,000
damages for breaking a contract with
him. Of which the following are the
points: Hart entered into an agreement
with Miss Dickinson to play her as a star
in the Eagle theatre three weeks, be-
ginning on the I'd of April. Hart was to
take the first $500 of the gross receipts
and Miss Dickinson the next 5000. Of
all subsequent receipts between $500 and
81 900 she was to get 40 per cent and he
60 per cent. OF all above 81, 900 she was
to get 20 per cent. and he 30 per cent.
Matinee and benefit receipts were to be
equally divided between the actress and
| the manager, the latter to pay all eX-
penses under the terms of sharing. The
engagement was commenced, but on the
9th of April Miss Dickinson refused to
play any more, and Hart wants $1,000
out of Annie as IN equivalent for the
money he expected to make on her full
engagement. And Hart sues her for the
amount, and AYERS that he performed his
part Of the contract to the letter. The
suit will hinge upon the quality of the
support, but Hart AYERS that he duly con
fcrred with Miss Dickinson, or her agent,
us required by agreement, as to the OF
ganization Of the company.
