BURGLARS AND MuRDERERS.
A Gang of them Apprehended and
Jailed in Murfreesboro,

For some time past a gang of
burglars has infested Murfreesboro.
Many stores and houses have been
robbed and several of them fred by
the gang. Their depradations were
so frequent, so bold and so success
full that great alarm existed in the
community, as they were known to
be a desperate set and no one knew
when their own premises would be
attacked. One night last week
Maj. Pugh who keeps a store III the
suburbs of the town heard them
about his premises and went out to
protect his property, when they
fired upon and killed him. This
was the elimination, and the citi-
zens became determined to ferret
out the marauders. They have sue
ceeded in arresting fifteen of the
gang and two of them have con-
fessed being present when Maj.
Pugh was killed, each charging the
other however with the crime.
There are thirteen men and two wo-
men in Jail, twelve black and three
white. The white men are said to
be VIGOROUSLY bad characters. 10.
Hall and Burrell Smith are the muir
derers Of Maj. Pugh. just such a
state Of affairs may be expected
in Pulaski at any time. There is
just such a clan here, with shrewd,
cunning lie adler, who plans boldly and
sends his accomplices to execute.
They had little set back some time
ago in the capture of some of their
men, but they will rally soon. Let
every man set dead fall for them
and keep his double barrel shot gun
well loaded. They have been quiet
about long enough to commence OPP
erations again.
On Monday the excitement was
intense at Murfreesboro, and mob
violence TO the murderers was
threatened and imminent. Gov.
Marks went out and made strong
appeal for law and order. He knew
the people had great cause for pro
vocation, and he as well as the peo-
pie sympathized with them, but APP
pealed earnestly to them as his
friends not to stain his administra-
ton with mob violence, and let the
law take it's course, promising them
a special term that speedy justice
may be melted out to the criminals.
Gov. Marks was followed by Gen.
Palmer, Col. Butler, Maj. Richard
son and Mayor Collier, and the ex
citement was allayed sufficiently to
prevent lynching. The burglars
and incendiaries now in custody
make confession to many of the nu-
merous robberies and fires which
have recently occurred. The insur-
ance companies have paid out since
November last $4,000, and there
were about $4,000 losses besides.
Truly they deserve speedy and Sc
we're punishment. We endorse most
heartily the action of the Governor
in the matter.

Hendricks a Fool.

Mr.. Thomas A. Hendricks, of In
diana, is in a conspiracy to defeat
the re nomination of the Old Ticket.
Mr.. John Kelly, Of New York, is
his hacker. The two are engaged
in an intrigue to lose New York to
the Democrats this fall. So much
will account for our New York
special. 1t is the end of Hendricks.
He is a fool as we'll as a conspIra
tor. Let all men disown him.
TCourier journal.
Only the other day we had to re-
prove the Nashville American and
Memphis Appeal for their absurd
prejudices against and assaults
upon Mr.. Tilden, and now the Cou
rier. j ournal is on the opposite
extreme. There is no foundation
for and no sense in this denuncia-
ton of Mr.. Hendricks, except that
he declines emphatically to be a
candidate for Vice President. He
denies the charge of the G. }. and
saws he has entered into no con-
spiracy with anybody for anything,
and so far as the old ticket is con-
cerned there cannot be one, for he
will not permit his name to be upon
it. We deplore this. He Is emf
nently a great and good man. and
we would support him at either end
of the ticket. Our opinion is that
he should be in the lead, but we do
not propose to make war upon Mr..
Tilden and have to eat crow meat
during the entire canyass.

here is the paragraph that was
about to come out in the Courier
Journal:
The Assembly was opened, and
Rev. DR.. Sherlock led in prayer up
to the quar- ter-pole, when Trinidad
pushed up, leading for a moment,
soon succeeded by Strathmore, who
yielded the floor to DR.. Acklett,
who wished to state to the Assem-
bly, that the Committee on Bills and
Overtures joined the strangers in
their belief that the Tennessee
crack would prove a sure winner.
Falsetto was next with a motion to
call up their report, when Dr.
Blankenhight moved to amend by
forcing the pace, which was exceed
ingly hot. Rev. DIR. Wingers offer
ed a resolution in lieu of that, as
the Committee on SynodIcal Re-
cords were bur ched. At this point
Rev. T. C. p. Gladdis knocked
Lord Murphy to his knees, but the
Bonnie Scotland was soon on his
feet, calling for the previous ques
ton. Ayes and nose being taken,
victory was declartd in favor of
Darden's Lord Murphy, with Rev.
DR.. Cranboll a second to the mo
ton, and neck-and-neck with One
Dime. Paris Mutuals paid the
foreign missions in time 2:37.

Value of Riches.

A man may be worth millions,
and yet be miserable and poor in
spirit. The value of riches depends
upon the use we make of them. If
by them we confer pleasure on 9th
ers, our own enjoyment is in a
measure secured. But too often
there are cast up in our social cir
Gle rich folks in an unhappy state
Of cinicism.. They ale at loss
what to do with their money. In
making their wills they demon
strate all sorts of whimsicalities,
passing over any recognition of
their oldest and most deserving
friends, and leaving their means in
some odd fashion which every body
laughs at. In such instances it is
curious to note the anguish they
experience in being asked to assist
in charitable institutions, Other
rich men are ever ready to give
And how many are The grand re-
suits of properly employed wealth?
Consider what is daily being effect
ed in our own country alone by
the benefcence of wealthy indivld-
uals. What a number of charities
supported, what churches built,
what schools set on foot, what vast
enterprises OF useful kind entered
into for the general benefit of soci-
ETY.. On these considerations, what
a farce is that silly defamation
against the possession of riches in
which certain orders of persons are
indiscreetly pleased to indulge!-
Properly managed riches are an
unfalling source of pleasure.

colored Prodigal Sons Returning.

Brown sville Democrat: The col
ored people, disappointed in not
getting the sugar plums they were
promised by their Northern sympa-
thizers, are now more anxious TO
get back to their old homes than
they were to leave them. They
are dying by scores on the banks of
the river from hunger and starva-
ton, and "would fain fill their bel
lies with the husks the swine did
eat, but no man gave it unto them,
and now, like the prodigal son,
they want to get back TO their
homes. What has become of the
cruelty, wrongs and oppression
they endured at the hands of their
Southern employees? And who is
it that is now helping them out of
this new trouble-still their old
and best friends, the Southern peo-
ple2 A st. Louis steamboat firm,
Messrs. Sells d Co., are offering
them free transportation from that
city to Southern points, and to sup
ply them with subsistence till they
reach their former homes. What a
commentary is this upon the spudo
philanthropy of quasi Northern
friends.
We think that this will now cure
them of their disposition to roam,
and the Northern people be depriv-
ed of their stereotyped fire brand to
cast into the Southern camp.

The Senate as Able as Ever.

Detroit Free Press: Though there
is some rubbish on both sides in
the Senate, yet in proportion to its
number, what single chamber of
any legislative body in the world is
superior to its ability, experience
and capacity for dealing with ques-
tions involving the discussion of
great fundamental principles of
government. Taking them all in
all, it is doubtful whether the Sena-
torlal debates in the days of Web
ster, Clay and Calhoun disclose
greater power and ability than will
be found in the discussions of the
Senate during the coming two
years. In comparing the present
with the past. it is well to remem
Der that in those earlier days what
Daniel Webster said or did was but
small part of the Senate proceed
ings. If one is disposed to study
the Congressional debates of the
present day he will find much to
excite his admirtion; but to do
this properly, one must fight his
personal and party prejudlces.

Tennessee Contractors inWashingtcn

Washington Letter to the Amer
lean: Col. d. B. Cooper and High
Private w. j. Whitthorne, with a
large force, are pushing forward the
con struction of a mammoth sewer,
from Fifteenth street to the Poto-
mac, across the "W hite House Lot,"
and will make it disembogue near
one of Babcock's lakes. The bid
dings are opened for the construc-
ton of a sewer from a point west of
the capitol to East Branch, dis
lance of more than two miles. This
work will be twenty-tour feet in di-
ameter, and is intended to drain the
waters from the surrounding heights
and thereby assist or relieve the
other sewers, which otherwise are
not sufficient to carry off the water.
1t will cost a half million of dollars.
These enterprising Columbia gen
tlemen are bidders. The officials,
who have had great experience with
contractors, say that it has been
many a day since such energetic,
capable and fair men have had hold
of the construction of public works.
They have with them Mr.. Dick
SAMSON and Mr.. Dick Beims, two
well known gentlemen from Maury
county. With no unstiDted hand
does the Government lavish money
in securing the health OF this city,
and for it's adornment. 1t is re-
markable to- see the miles of pave
ment and streets that have been
built; the shade trees in full leaf;
the fountains at play, and the parks
and circles, green and refreshing as
oasis in a desert. In thirty years
from now this city will be the most
beautiful on the earth.

The State Debt.

In view of the persistent suit of
a small number of Tennessee bond
holders against the railways, what
is to be done by the people of Ten
nessee? A much larger number
than is required by the act having
accepted the recent compromise, it
Is the interest of Tennessee to see
that it is carried by a large majorI-
ty and settlement effected on that
basis. Without discussing any If
the ETHICAL or other questions con
nected with the proposed settle
ment, devoting ourselves to the
practical, it is sufficient that this is
a settlement by debtors, who, it is
admitted, cannot pay the full debt
The bondholders themselves admit
ted this by proposing, in 1875, a
settlement. The question then be
came simply an agreement between
debtor and creditor as to the
amount the debtor could pay. In
all such cases the credi-
tor is likely to over-estimate the
debtor and the debtor to underesti
mate his own ability. Substantial
argument has been reached where
the creditor admitted there was in
ability. In such cases a grinding
creditor will demand the last far
thing, and it is the common excuse
of dishonest debtor who is In
yolyed to deny the validity of the
claim against him, This is so fire.
Quent in private cases that it ought
to be fully understood.
If these two classes had consid-
cred the question, Reputation
would have been inevitable. For
tunately modern respect for State
credit and care for the people have
met in Tennessee with hberaiity on
the palt of the creditors, and a large
majority are ready to accept, while
a very much larger number than is
required has already accepted
Those who have no regard for pub
lie policy or respect for the credit
of the State, or any consideration
for anything beyond to-day, oppose
this settlement in Tennessee, while
small number of bondholders op
pose-not, we are satisfied, with
any expectation Of ultimate success
in their suits, but with the hope
that through the aid of the rail
roads, alarmed at the attack upon
them and in the course of future
politics they may obtain a better
settlement. 1t means simply a de
termined move of a small number
for better terms OF settlement from
the State, with whom they expect
to deal hereafter. All we have TO
do is to 60 on without regard to
their attitude, ratiiy the settlement,
and then it will be open to all, and
we venture 10 assert that when it is
fairly before them TO accept or re-
iect within certain time, not two
dozen will hold on to the railroad
suits with hope of better terms.
We do not see that we have, so far
as this question is concerned, any
thing TO do with their attitude, but
simply to go on and ratify this set
Element and then faithfully to carry
it out American.
