A Family Quarrel in Tennessee

Knoxville Tribune: Through a
gentleman who returned yesterday
from Hancock county, we learn the
particulars of the most horrible
tragedy ever enacted in this section.
The difficulty originated in the fam
lily of j. N. Epperson, who lived
five miles east of Thorn Hill, Han
cock county. Epperson and wife,
it appears, separated sometime
since and the husband remained
away till Wednesday last. Upon
his return a fight between himself
and wife ensued, during which John
Epperson, one-araled son, inter
fered to protect his mother. In the
affray the father, armed with a
knife, inflicted several serious
wounds upon the son, who subse-
quently gained possession of the
weapon and killed his father. I'm
me diately after this, Tom Epperson
another son, came APP and asked his
brother John if he took his fathers
part in the fight. To this John re-
piled that he protected his mother
Ihereupon Tom Immediately fired
on his brother, who ran into the
house. The mother interferred to
protect her one armed son, and,
while endeavoring to do so, was
shot through the heart. AS she
fell lefeless ia the doorway, Tom
fired at his brother, missing him
however, and striking another broth
er, George, ia the thigh. Another
shot missed the mark and mortally
wounded O sister, The latter, it is
thought, cannot recover. George
is only slightly wounded. Tom es-
capped and has not been apprehend-
ed. John Epperson, the one arm
ed son, was arrested, tried and ac-
Quilted on the plea of self-defense.

Under the scalpel of critical analy-
sis its whole fabric can be demol-
ished, and viii be. Thurman never
appeared to better advantage. There
was just enough of sarcasm and in
Idignation in the speech to strip of
the hollow mask in which the Maine
demagogue is disporting, not to
subserve any great public end save
that of his own grasping ambition.
Lamar was rather impetuous. His
effort was thoroughly impromptu.
In the short, though sharp badinage
between himself and Blaine, he held
his own, and his keen retort that
one OF BlaIne's assertions would do
very well for wit, but not for truth,
made rather a sensation. While
the republicans generally seem
pleased with the days debate. the
Democrats are equally so

Montgomery Advertiser: The to
tai radical vote on Congressman in
Pennsylvania this year was 2SS,
1854. In 1876 it was 36S.S27. The
falling off in two years thus appears
t. be only 10000. The Democratic
vote on Congressman this year was
299, 800. or 1,126 more than the Re-
publican vote. The Greenbackers
polled 1850. The 2S8,S64 Radi-
cal votes elected seventeen Con
gressmen; the 2S9,990 Democratic
votes elected nine, and the 1850
Greenback votes elected one. The
Washington Post says: These fig
ures are instructive. They ought
to at least instruct the Greenback-
ers that it is utter folly to throw
away $4,000 votes on one repre-
sentative, thereby enabling the
Radicals to smuggle in sixteen Ma
tional bankers, or the hired men OF
the National banking interest.

And Better Still.

Almost every body knows the high
value of the American AgricWltarist, a
journal that has just complicated its 37th
successful year. 1t is a large, beautiful
journal, full of plain, practical, reliable,
most useful Information, for every man
woman and child. 1t prints every year
700 to 500 original Engravings OF labor
saving. labOr-helping contrivances, many
of them homemade; also of animals,
plants, construction of buildings, etc.,
etc. The american Agriculturist also
constantly publishes exposures of the
various humbugs and swindlers that
prey upon the people with their artful
schemes. These exposures save tens of
thousands of dollars to its readers every
year.
With all its splendid features, and an
outlay of over $4,000 a year in
collecting and preparing information,
engravings, etc., the circulation is SO
large that it is supplied to subscribers,
postpaid, for only 81 so each year.

Senator Edmunds' Bill.

Special to the Chicago Times
Senator Edmnnds' bill was dis
cussed in the Senate until O'Clock,
and then passed by vote of 50 To
26. 1t was nearly party vote.
Bayard, Morgan and MerrImon
voted with the Republicans in favor
of the bill. Eaton made the strong
est point of the afternoon against
the bill by saying that this measure
merely regulated the action of Con
gress. and, as the next Congress was
the one to count the vote, this Con
gress had no right to attempt to
regulate or prescribe the action of
any future Congress. He claimed
that the present constitution was
enough to cover all disputed points,
aud that, If the people were dissat-
isfed with it, "a amendment was
the only remedy. Bayard support
ed the bill upon the theory that it
was merely making plain the prop
er construction of the constitution,
and that this was permissible By
Congress. The partisan vote upon
the bin would appear to indicate its
fare in the House, where little i'll
