Senator Morrill, of Vermont, made an
earnest and elaborate speech, last Mon
day, against the passage of the silver
bill. During the course of his remarks,
he characterized the measure in this
plain and vigorous fashion:
1.-The whole measure looks to me like
fearful assault upon the public credit.
The losses it will infict upon the hold
ers of paper money and many others will
be large; and if the bill. without further
radical amendments, obtains the approx
al of the Senate, it will give the death
blow to the cardinal policy of the coun-
try, which now seeks large reduction
of the rate of interest upon our national
debt. Even that part now held abroad
will come back in a stampede to be ex-
changed for gold at any sacrifice. The
ultimate result would be when the sup
ply for customs shall have been coined,
and the first efervescence passed away,
the emission of silver would be far be-
low the standard vr gnu, auu wnen Une
people become tired of it, disguised or
ruined by its Instability, as they soon
would be, fresh clamor may be expect
ed for the reconciliation of gold, and
another clipping or debasing of gold coin
may follow to bring them again into cir
culation on basis of silver equivalency.
In this slippery descent there can be no
stopping place.

CONFESSION OF A FIENDISH
MURDERER.

Edward Tatro, the Highgate murder
der now under sentence of death, has
confessed his guilt. and it is most re-
Voting story that he tells. Being left
alone in the house with Mrs. Alice But
Ter, by whose husband he was employed,
June 2, 1875, he resolved to have con-
nection with her, and went to her room
up stairs. She resisted, and he knock
ed her down with blow on the head
from a chair, when she promised to
yield if he would let her 60 down stairs.
Suspecting that she meant to escape,
however, he seized her and they went
struggling down when, on her trying to
run away, he knocked her down with a
stick and finished her with an ak. Then
when she was writhing in her death
struggle he accomplished his fendish
purpose. Il started to do it, says the
young fend, sand by Cd [ did it. :"
His fellow-prisoners in the county Jail,
to whom he has repeatedly told this sto-
ry. say that he never evinced any emo
ton in the recital, or seemed to feel any
remorse. He received his death sentence
without any appearance of emotion. and
remarked to the deputy sheriff while
being taken back to Jail, "Well, by
Cd, that settles my hash" Subse.
quently, however, on talking over the
sentence and its full significance, he
broke down, and from that time unit
his removal to the state prison, Tuesday
morning, manifested considerable grie1
and horror, weeping frequently.

TIE All. 80 OF TASTE
AND LEAaNs"~A BEAUTY.

Captain ]. Harvey Mathes writes to
the New York Ledger that his letter
from McMInnville, Tennessee, ''would
be incomplete without abiding to the
gifted Southern poetess, suthoress and
contributor, Mrs. L. Virginia French,
who lives there in comparative seclu-
sion from the busy, busting marts and
thoroughfares of the world; her litera-
~ reputation well assured, her ambi-
tion-if she had any-long since graft
fed. She seems tc Ind the greatest
pleasure in the domestic affairs of her
delightful ''Forest Home" and in the
society of her devoted husband and
accomplished young daughters. Col.
French is a thorough gentleman of the
Southern school and type. He is
farmer and stock raiser, whom we
would have called 10 olden times a
country gentleman, and is devoted
to his home and family. Mrs.
French is not in good health
and seldom writes for the press.
The two young ladies WELD facile and
graceful pen when they choose, and
contribute occasionally, 1 have been
told, to leading papers and magazines
and are no less accomplished in other
respects. One of them known as
"Blondine," in the literary world,
wrote carriers address for the Austin
(Texas) STATESMAN last Christmas
which was so highly appreciated that
the attaches of the Office sent her an
elegant testimonial in the shape of a
toilet set. From "Forest Home" there
is magnificent view of river, valley
and mountaiH, orchard, field and for
est. 1t is the full realization of an
ideal home where one meets evidences
of refined taste, broad culture and
genuine hospitality, and where the
aesthetic in art and literature is
in accord with the most genial moods
and generous gifts of nature. A new
Forest Home, with octagonal rooms
and halls and wooden improvements,
is projected and the foundations laid,
but 1t may never have the charm of
the quaint old home with its low caves,
high gables and climbing vines, where
must cluster so many sweet memories
aud "wind whispers" of the dear long
ago. Mrs. French is a sister of Mrs.
Lide Meriwether, formerly of Mem
phis, but now of Huntsville, whose
frequent contributions to the press have
adorned the columns of the appeal and
other papers and delighted SO many
readers. Culture and genius, like
blood, will tell. We see this running
through and illustrated IN many fam
lilies"

They have accurate apprehensions of

the fewest living men can preach a

THE civilized world was SO tired OF
the foul Louisiana business, in all It's
incidents and aspects, that however
much Wells and his ''pals" deserved
punishment, as they do universal exc
Grafton, it was willing, after Nichols
became Governor, to suffer their names
and memory to rot in fetid oblivion.
Nobody was grieved when, on some
technical pretext, the Supreme Court
of Louisiana thrust the filthy records
out of sight. 1t was supposed to be
an end of Wells, and everybody was
happy. But the old corruptionist is
suing the Philadelphia Times for libel,
and the Times apologies by calling
this exceedingly good man a s'forger,
a perjurer and murderer" and Wells
is happier than ever before. Like
Ben. Butler, who collects and preserves
with care, and gloats over newspaper
articles, in which his virtues as a SOL

world does not forget to execrate his

It's commonly stated that one-third
or half the pension claims paid are
fraudulent. There are men in all the
States devoted to the business of Sc.
curing pensions for applicants who
have not the remotest claim upon the
public treasury. Honest, brave and
wounded Federal soldiers therefore
find it difficult to establish their rights
and secure their dues. We advert to
this subject because we heard a Grip
pied Federal veteran say that be would
never accept a pension till the disabled
of those who famed him for life were
also pensioned- He would not, he in
sisted, suffer his vanquished enemies,
as honest and true as himself, to be
taxed to make him Independents, while
they toiled in poverty made hopeless
by Congress and by the deprivation OF
half their property.
