Trouble in Tennessee.

NASHVILLE. May rs, 1879.
Saturday and yesterday fourteen men
-four whites and ten blacks) were arrest
cd near Murfreesboro on the charge of
having been guilty of burglary, robbery.
arson and murder. Great excitement
has since prevailed. and things have
looked rather stormy for the prisoners,
the Indignation of the public having
been stimulated by the confession OF
John Hall and BurrelI Smith that thev
were together at the killing of Major
Iugh about week ago. Things have
taken such serious turn that, in answer
to dispatches from the authorities. Gov
ernor Marks vent to Murfrecsboro this
afternoon, and tonight delivered strong
speech, urging the people to join with
him In IN honest, earnest effort to uphold
and enforce the law. The removal of
the prisoners to an adjoining county for
safe keeping had been suggested. He
wanted to confer with mud rely upon the
people to guard their own prisoners.
lie intended to give them every assist
ancc in his power to enforce, uphold and
vindicate the law. He pleaded with them
not to #!ai:: lis administration by vio.
!ation of law lie pleaded with them
in the most furciblc manner to let the
law take its course, pledging them a
spcciai term of the Criminal Court for
the purpose of having criminal trial
-Four prominent citizens also made
speeches in favor of the law. The crowd
manifested impatience to learn when the
trial would be set. The Governor left
Murfreesboro at 10 o'clock. The sue
cess OF his mission is question upon
which there is diversity Of opinion.
MURFREEsDORO, Tenn, May 27.-At
II 80 Z. NJ, great excitement prevailed
here. Immense crowds were on the
streets, expressing n determination to
hang three or four robbers. A whole
sale !ynching is expected to occur before

The Republicans, with their usual lack
of principle and cunning dcpravity, sent
one of their most plant tools down to

journalism as one Of the staunchest
Democrats, and at the beginning of the
present session of Congress wrote the
article exulhng over Southern power
and progress, and abusing the North in
the most violent and offensive manner
It has since transpired that this was the
mission upon which he was sent, and his
articles have been copied by tho Radical
papers extensively to show the hatred
which the South intcrtains for the Moth.

"Gentlemen: | have hnd the honor to
receive your letter Of the Sd inst, cover
ing resolutions Of Il joint caucus of the
Democratic members Of the General As
sc"lbly Of The State Of Illinois II iu
hardly necessary for me to say that am
in favor Of perfect freedom Of elections
from the interference or the presence of
any part of the army at the polls, because
that opinion was cmphatically expressed
on The floor of the Senate. This is a
Government Of legal authority founded
on the Constitution and the laws made in
pursuance thereof. One of the grievances
which our forefnthcrs complained was
that the King had quartcrcd troops on
them, and sought by military power to
coercc them into submission. II is little
less than n public scandal after n century
of national existence that any party
could venture to ask the peoples appro-
val Of species Of tyranny that is forbid
den in England and wherever else the
parliamentary principle is respected.

A VETERAN OF THE FIELD AND
FoEuM.-Thc sudden death of Gen.
James Shields yesterday closes n career
Mt once honorable and unique. An
Irishman by birth, he has won and worn,
in his adopted country, such n succession
Of honors III no other American citizen,
native or foreign born, has ever enjoyed.
At various periods in his life he repre-
sented three sovereign States-Illinois,
Minnesota and Missouri in the Nation
al Senate, besides having filed many
public positions of less prominence. In
the Mexican war, he served first az Brig.
adler, and afterwards as Major General
with conspicuous gallantry, and was des-
perately wounded, being shot through
the lungs. Strange to say, he recovered,
and was awarded sword Of honor by
the State of South Carolina, the Palmet-
to Regiment having formed part of his
brigade. In the Confederate war, he
served on the Northern side, and shared
with Banks and Fremont the distinction
of being handsomely whipped by Stone
wall Jackson in the Valley Of virginia,
OF late years he had not figured in pub
lie life, until short time ago, when he
wa5 u!io,cn United sStates Senator fro;:,
Missouri to fill the unexpircd term oil
the late Senator Bogy.
Gen. Shields WAS In his seventeen
year. lie was man rather Of high
principle and unflinching bravery than
Of commanding ability; but the Irish
men of America are proud, AS they have
reason To be, Of his splendid record and
biamcleSs litc.--Nc'cs and Courier.
