The Knife to the Hilt--The
Blade to the Heart.

In a personal difficulty, last night,
about 10 o'clock, William Minters, a
student of the S. w. B. University,
stabbed and killed Minor Ferguson
(colored.) Minters left Immediately.
The killing occurred on the premises
of Capt. w. H. Brown, Main street,
The difficulty seems to have been pro-
voked by Ferguson, who went to
Minter's room about noon yesterday
and so provoked him that he called to
see Ferguson last night in reference
to the matter, when Ferguson used
abusive language, calling him son of
bitch, and approaching him with a
stick in very threatening manner.
CA razor was afterward found by his
side.) Minters stabbed him with a
pocket-knife, killing him instantly.
Miuters left at once, and has not been
heard Of up to this writing, though
the officers of the law are making dill
igent search for him. He lives at
Salisbury and is about eighteen years
of age. Ferguson was three or fou:
years older and has borne good char

The Postal Rules.

Under the old rules of the Postof-
fee Department all matter in which
there was writing of any description,
vas rated us first-class, and charged
letter postage. The officials have now
inaugurated more generous policy.
and the following rules have been
promulgated: "Many classes ofmatter,
which under the old law were rated
with letter postage, are, under the
new classification, to be rated rs fourth
class merchandise, such, for instance,
as drawings, plans, designs, specifca>
lions, original paintings in oil or wa>
ter colors. Matter which is wholly in
writing, or printed matter containing
a written inscription in the nature Of
personal correspondence, and matter
which is sealed against inspection, are
alone by their nature and the intent
of the law, first class matter. Printed
matter, partly i'll writing, may be first
or third class matter, according to the
nature Of the written inscription there's
on. If the inscription is of the nature
of personal correspondence, the mat
ter must pay first class rates. An in
scription not in the nature OF personal
correspondence may be written upon
third class matter without subjecting
it to letter postage. Fourth class mat
ter includes everything not included
in the other three classes, which is nt t
by law and regulation excluded from
the mails. Postmastersshould consider
the presumption 10 be in favor Of the
admission of all unsealed matter sub
ject 10 inspection at third or Fourth
class rates, and unless the matter Is
wholly in writing when it must pay
letter postage-should not rate it up
on account of written incriptions
thereon unless the inscription is clearly
in The nature of personal CORES
pondence. "-Nashriile american.

Private accounts from Russia reps
resent the situation all over that
country as beyond description, and
that the tendency of the so-called re-
pressive measures is toward revolution
rather than peace, as the present an
noyance and outrageous oppression of
all classes of the population are rapids
ly spreading the reeling that anything
is preferable to the existing state of
affairs. 1t is asserted that the gov>
ernment is really playing the game of
the nihilist instead Of crushing out the
spirit of discomfort in the empire.

The Tennessee horticultural
Society Exhibition.

This Society, which once had quite
fiourishing existence, has recently
been reorganized, and proposes to cul-
tivate its labors after a manner worthy
Of its interesting objects.
A full corps Of able and well in
formed lecturers have been appointed,
and its meetings will so,n possess great
interest for the membership and those
who take delight in horticulture.
1t is contemplated to introduce the
public work of the Society by an exhi-
bition on the Oath inst, to be held at
the Olympic Theatre, which will be
accompanied by lecture from Prof.
Gattinger, on some Of the fora of Ten
nessee. Regular semi ,nnual exhibi-
tions will be part Of the programme
of the Societies operation.
The public are invited to that to be
held on the Oath inst.-Nashuilte

HEARTRENDISG SCENE.
Cox Receives tlle Sentence of
Imprisonment for Life for
the Murder of Aston.

ATLANTA, May THE jury in the
Cox case were out all night and came
in at noon to>day to be recharged in
full. At fifteen minutes to four o'clock
they came in and announced that they
had agreed upon a verdict. 1t was
detained to correct an informality, and
then read, as follows:
"We, the jury find the prisoner
guilty, and recommend that he be
punished by imprisonment for life in
the penitcntiary.'
Cox received the verdict with calm
ness, having evidently nerved himself
for the worst. His wife, on hearing
the words so fatal to her hopes, sat for
moment trembling with emotion, and
then rushed for an open window near
by with the purpose to throw herself
to the ground below. She was wild
with grief. As she reached the win
dow she was caught by Cox, who held
her fast. She threw her arms around
his neck and clung to him, wildly ex-
claiming: oh, my God!" oh, my
poor darling!" Her shrieks were heart-
rending, and the occupants of the
crowded courtroom could not restrain
their tears of pity.
Judge Hillyer sentenced Cox to be
confined in the penitentiarv, or such
other place as the government may d.
rect, at hard labor for and during his
natural life.
General Gitrell gave notice that the
defense would make a motion for
new trial, and prayed for writ of
supersedeas. Execution of sentence
was thereupon stayed for twenty days.
This penalty is virtually theextreme
of the law in this State, as the law
passed with Alston's aid at the last
session of the legislature giving juries
the right to recommend life imprison-
ment in all cases of murder, as they
see fit, in effect abolishes the death
penalty. Cox is thus the first man
convicted of murder who receives the
benefit of that law.

The report Of the agricultural bu>
reau for April shows that the crop
prospect will compare most favorably
with that of previous years. The
wheat crop is far more promising than
usual The acreage of tobacco will
be considerably increased, and the
farmers will pay more attention in the
future to raising the best quality.
There is some apprehension of the
scarcity Of plants. The acreage of
corn will be increased fifteen per cent.
above that of last year. The crop,
however, does not look promising.
The indications are that the cotton
crop will be largely increased it is in
fine condition. Winter oats were
killed out by the severe winter; an
average crop of spring oats will be
planted. Grasses are backward owing
to the unfavorable season, but an in
creased acreage will be sown. Sheep
prospects are good, and cattle are in
fair condition.

GEN. LOGAN,S RECORD.
Facts That are Generally In
derstOOd i'm Southern
Illinois.
From the Cairo Argus-Jsurnal


Gen. Logan is out with card in
which he refers to the odd Wheatley
afida 7it, taken in Caiio soon after
the war, and charging Logan with
having recruited troops for the con-
federate army. The general says
Wheatley's affidavit was brought to
iniure him in a congressional canvass,
and afterwards retracted by Wheat
ley.
The facts are that Wheatley often
repeated the substance Of his affidavit
in private conversation before the
affidavit was made. He voluntarily
made oath to the statement on sugges-
tions of reputable citizens of Cairo,
without, promise of fee or reward,
having no other inducement than the
qualification of his own feelings, he
having been one of the victims in
duced by Logan to join the South,
and afterwards abandoned By him.
At the time he made the affidavit
Wheatley was in the hospital here
sick with dropsy. John @. Harman
administered the oath to him, aid
was afterwards roundly abused by
Logan for it. Harman had nothing
whatever to do with the matter be-
yond administering the oath, he hav-
ing been called in for that purpose;
and he was careful to examine Wheat
ley, to see if it was his own voluntary
act and true, and not a statement OBJ
tanned through bribery or undue in
fluences. The party who first sug-
gested that Wheatley should put his
statement Ia form so it could be used
for political purposes was Mr.. VIM.
Lonergan, now Il commission mer-
chant of Cairo. much respected, and
whose word in regard 20 that or any
other matter will not be doubted by
those who know him. The evidence
produced during the campaign Logan
refers to, was ample to prove that he
was instrumental in raising troops for
Southern army, his own sister-in-law
being one of the witnesses.
After the election of 1860, Logan
was known to ali men as a rebel. His
speeches and private conversation
alike denoted this. He abused Doug
las roundly for the latter's Union pro-
clivites, and advocated the secession
of southern Illinois. The first Union
officers stationed at Cairo stigmatized
every Illinoisian they suspected Of
entertaining sympathy for the South
as Loganites, it being in their estima-
ton tie most opprobious epithet that
could be used. Logan's arrest was
strongly urged by them, but Lincoln,
who knew Logan well, said that a
colonels commission in the Union
army should be tried on him first.
That had the desired effect, and soon
he out Heroded Herod in his zeal as a
radical Republican, and in abusing,
not only his comrades of rebel procliv-
ities, but Union war-DemocratS also.
These facts ale generally understood
in Southern Illinois, but they do not
seem to lower him much in the esti-
nation of his party. His former re-
bellious proclivities, and inconsistent
cies appear to have been to his ad
vantage rather than otherwise. But
nothing better can be expected Of
party that honors confederate gueril
las, like Mosby, with foreign missions,
takes rebel brigadiers into its cabinet,
yet proscribes gallant Union generals
as not sufficiently loyal because they
are Democrats.
