Four negroes were hanged for murder In
Donaldsonville. La. on Wednesday last
Though undoubtedly guilty. they might have
escaped punishment for their crime but for
the evidence OF Dr. JOSEPH JONES. who asccr-
tainod by microscopical and chemical analysis
that the stains upon the clothing Of one OF them
wero not paint. As he had asserted. but blood
spots. Further. that the blood WAS that OF q
human being who had suffered and was ploba-
bly, suffering at the moment when tho blood was
distracted with malHral or paroxysma fever"
II was proved that NARCssE AMIEUx. the muir

A Romance of the Plague.
Memphis Avalanche.


One of the Thousand and one trag-
ic incidents Of the great plague hap
pened at Holly Springs a few days
since. A beautiful young lady OF
New Orleans was forced by her faith
er to marry an old man she could
not love. Preferring death to slave
ry, the young lady ran away and
gave her services as nurse to the fe
ver-stricken at Holly Springs. AZ
ter few days of devotion to the
sick she was herself stricken. There
was a male nurse for her. There
was no female hand to soothe with
its gentle touch the feYored brow.
But the noble Ridley was there to
perform the last sal office to the
dying girl. Toward the last she
said to him: Kiss me- AS Rid
die kissed her on the cheek, she ex-
claimed: kiss my lips" which he
did. She then said: "You are the
only man 1 ever kissed; kiss me
again" While Riddle was iD the
act Of kissing her she thew her arms
tightly around his neck, and instant t.
ly expired. God bless the brave
hearts.

the Revolution until the advent OF
the Republican party into power.
And the secret OF the unexampled
prosperity Of the country lay simply
in the correct and just system of
management of the ..country's fnan
ces.
now proceed to examine the rec
ord of the Republican party from
1861 to the present. And how has it
managed the finances of the nation?
L have shown that the public debt
under the last Democratic admins
tration was about $64, 100000. Since
then we have had Republican ad min
istrations continuously, and assum-
ing that the vast expenditures Great
ed by the war were just and neces-
sary, we will present statement of
the public debt since the accession of
the Republican party to power. re-
membering, as we go along, that the
war virtually closed the last of the
year 1864. The debt at that period
will be marked with an asterisk:
The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1878-11-06

est will turn any blessing in q curs'
Under the financial policy or the Re
publican administrations it equire
about one hundred millions to pay
the yearly interest on the nationa'
debt, SO that it requires nothing
more than the merest calculations TO
see that the people under the Re
publican financial policy pay more
than ta0ice as much per year in thf
way of interest alone than the entir'
debt OF the government under for
mer administrations amounted 10.
and as if the debt of the government
now bearing interest was not enough
already, the ComptrOller of the cur
rency. John Jay Knox. in 1875. re-
commends the conversion Of The en-
tire debt into bonds, and states, "In
order to accomplish this most desir-
able end, it will be necessary to en-
list to its support oH the leading
monetary Institutions Of the country"
II this system Of bonded debt is
sound and just and wise why nigh,
not the Comptroller of the currency
have stated. that to accomplish this
end, it is desirable enlist to it's sup
port the great masses of the taxpay-
ing citizens of the government. L
affirm that the entire legislation of
the Republican party from the act
of March 18th, 1869, has been de-
