1.-THE people" about eighteen
months ago walked up on the silver
dollar question. They came to the
conclusion that they had right to
that dollar, and they demanded, i'm
periously as sovereigns should, that
the "dollar Of our dads'' be remone.
tized, which had been cemoneti7ed
without their consent or even their
knowledge. Then the fine haired f.
nancial gold theorists opened their
batteries and fioodgates and poured
upon the devoted but stubborn heads
of the people their speeches their
pamphlets, their editorials they
abused, coaxed and threatened. But
it was like pouring water on a ducks
back. The masses everyw where rose
up snd enthusiastically said'"we will
have that dollar reinstated-we have
the power, and will use it to obtain
what we believe to be our right"
People, parties, President and Cabinet,
in the way, had to get out ofthe way,
or were swept away by that great sill
yer wave. Subsequent events prove
that 1.-THE people" were right. "The
people are right" They now demand
in addition to the silver dollar, a ma
tional paper money, denominated
greenbseks, and they are going to
have 1t just as surely as that they de-
manded and got the silver dollar re-
monetized. Able tinanciers, cool
headed leading men, now have a du-
ty to perform. It Is not to spin long
winded theories on finance, but it is to
adapt themselves to the situation as it
iS-to take hold of this new financial
craft and guide it through tbs brakers
to as safe haven as possible.

Nothing has been talked of here since
Friday but the foul assassination of
George Shoenberger, butcher, and one
OF our most prominent citizens, by two
negroes named Ben Evans and Eph
Hall, instigated by Mike White. a white
man, and also butcher. y Peo-
pie came in from every direction in
droves. By noon the streets of Hunts
vile, and especially in the neighborhood
OF the jail, were literally packed. All
was expectation and anxiety. Thou
sands of eyes were turned down Merid-
lanvllle road, in momentary expectation
OF the small army known to be coming.
The excitement was now of the most in
tense character. At 100 the people
shouted, "They come! !" This allusion
was made to a large body of horsemen,
armed with double-barreled shot-guns.
They observed perfect order, and formed
around the jail. There were hundreds
OF them. The thousands of citizens and
countrymen thronging the streets gave
place to the horssmen. A demand was
made for the keys, but they could not
be found, nor the Sheriff Armed with
sledge-hammers and crowbars, the mob
broke through the fence into the jail
yard, and then into the cells occupied
| by the trembling murderers, who were
led out, bound, mounted on a wagon
and taken down Spring branch, half
mile away, followed by the multitude.
Ropes were tied to the limb of tree
and adjusted about their necks. The
negroes reiterated the same tale they
had first told, but Mike White main
tanned his innocence. In the minds of
the people not shadow of doubt exist
ed as to his guilt The condemned men
were asked if they had anything to say.
| White said he had nothing, except that
he was innocent and ready to meet his
God. Evans said: 81 know have to
die. We were all in it. Hall shot the
gun, and I shot the pistol" Turning
to White, Evans said: "See, Mr..
White, what you have brought me to"
Hall said: "I've nothing to say more
than what I've already stated. Just
before swinging of, White said "God
be with my wife p They were asked if
they would like to be prayed for. White
said "No," but the negroes requested
the Rev. Mr.. Gordon to pray for them,
which he did. The wagon was driven
from under them at ESQ, and the trio
pronounced dead at 3:15 and their bodies
cut down.-Hu'atsV5lle (Alo.) Cor. CHI

Unpleasant Memories.

In the executive session of the Senate
there was an interesting discussion over
the nomination of Mcneil for Indian
Inspector. Mcneil was General in
the Union service during the war, and
was in command in the disturbed dis
tricts of Missouri. When his case came
up for action, a Southern Senator
charged that he had wantonly hung ten
men. 1t appears that the men belonged
to one of the guerrilla bands which
roamed over Missouri during the war.
Senator Butler, OF South Carolina, rose
and objected to raking up the dead is
sues of the past. He said that this oc-
currence had taken place sixteen years
ago; that, whether Gen. Mcneil had
been right or wrong, he did not wish to
discuss that. So far as he was concerned,
he should do nothing to revive the un-
pleasant memories of the civil war, and
that nominations and all other questions
which came before the Senate should be
judged and acted upon without any
reference to what took place during the
war. @
Gen. Gordon took the same ground as
Gen. Butler. He said that he, too, had
gene through the war in the military
service of the South, but that now he
wished to keep in everlasting sleep all
the bitterness of feeling and of section
engendered by that strife.
Senator Armstrong, Of Missouri, said
that, during the war, the antagonism be-
tween the Union men and the Southern
sympathizers in Missouri was unrelent-
ing, deep seated and irreconcilable, and
Missouri was, to great extent, literally
a hell but that was all past now, and
he, too, deprecated any attempt to re-
call or perpetuate the reoollections of
those dark days.
These speeches produced a marked
impression upon the Senate, and result
ed in Mcneil s confirmation. Washinq-
