ST.. LOUIS, March 27.-A Fort
Scott, Kansas, dispatch says: On
Tuesday Bill Howard, the negro who
cruelty and diabolically outraged
Clara Pond, twelve years old, was
discovered in an old mine six miles
from this city. The prisoner was
brought to town and lodged in Jail.
The excitement was intense and
threats of lynching made. The crime
was so horrible, as to be without a
parallel in criminal history. Last
night a crowd of fully one thousand
citizens, accompanied by thirty
masked men with drawn
revolvers, took him from
the Jail, tied a rope around his
neck, dragged him five blocks, and
hung him to lamp post on the
corner of the public square. After
hanging fifteen minutes a cry arose
"Burn him, burn him." The body
was taken down, and in spite of the
resistance and objection of the more
calm, peaceable portion of the crowd
was roasted and burned in a fire of
dry goods boxes and coal oil, amid
demonstrations that rivalled pande-
monium.

"FRANKFoRT, March 27, 1879.
"The announcement of the death
of Hon. John M. Everett, Judge of
the First Appellate District, which
occurred at Frankfort on March
26, 1879, will cause sorrow and re-
gret in every section of the Cons
monwealth. His long career of
usefulness, and the many positions
of public trust which he so honora-
bly, filled, won for him the respect
and confidence of the people of the
entire State. As citizen he was
beloved for his integrity, patriotism
and fidelity. As Representative
in Congress he was energetic,
prompt and distinguished, and as a
Judge he was able, incorruptible
and impartial. In token of respect
for his memory | recommend that
all the public Offices be closed at
twelve o'clock H., and remain
closed the residue of this day, and
that all State officers, and their
clerks, attend the funeral in a body.

XLVI CONGRESS-.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, March 27.
Numerous bills were introduced
and referred.
1t was resolved that when the
Senate adjourn it be to Monday
next.
The Senate took up Mr.. Hoar' s
resolution declaring that the course
of the dominant party is revolution
ary, &c. The following is the reso-
luton
Resolved That the refusal by
one House of Congress to make ne
cessary provision for the support of
the Executive, Legislative and Ju-
dicial Departments, and for the de-
tense of the country, except upon
the condition that the other House
and the President shall give their
assent to legislation which they dis
approve, and the refusal by Con-
gress to make such provision except
upon condition that the President
shall give such assent, is unconsti-
tutional, revolutionary, and, if per-
sisted in, must lead to the overthrow
of constitutional government and
the destruction of the national life."
A running debate took place on
Mr.. Hoar's resolution, without dis
posing of the subject.
The Senate went into executive
session, and afterwards adjourned
until Monday.
The Army Appropriation bill was
this morning introduced by Mr..
Sparks, of Illinois, a member of
Committee of the
last House. He stated that it was
substantially the bill which had
passed the last House, with the
reorganization feature stricken out.
1t retained the clause prohibiting

the use of troops at the polls. The
bill was referred to the Committee
of the Whole, and the House is
now in committee for the purpose
of considering it.
The House is considering the
Army Appropriation bill under the
FIVE minutes rule, all general de-
bates having been dispensed with
except on the clauses relating to
the use of troops at the polls on
which the debate will take place
later. A motion to reduce the ar
my to $4,000 has been rejected by
a vote of So to 119.
The Committee of the Whole on
the Army bill disposed of nearly all
the sections of the bill. That re-
lating to the use of troops at polls
was passed over for the present.

cur University.

AT last the Legislature has done at
least one thing worthy of their cOnstit-
uents. They have taken q matter in
hand that is Of vital interest to the
youth Of the State and to the advance
ment OF learning, in the State at large.
Some time ago Prof Joynes, of what
was then e. Fenuesste UniVt rsity,
left for Nash lille ia The inter, 8 of the
University. He las suc3I eded IN hav-
ing the folio wing bills passed: A bill
changing the name from Eat TennCs
see University TO the University of
Tenn pessee.h This Vas the most i'm
pOTtaD! measure, as it gives the school
more neral siguItica ion and max es
it sound more like the State insiitu-
ton, which il really j.. The second
bill pa~szd was q bill regulating the
appointment Uf trustees, in order to
give each district in the State q repre-
sentative. This is a wise measure, as
it gives the school agents, as it were,
all over the State. A law was also
passed that State Board of Visitors
should be appointed by the Governor,
consisting of three from each Grand Di-
vision. The last law passed was to
regulate the appointment of State Ca
diets through the agency of the State
Superiuie, dent aud County Superin-
lendents. This max es it iucumbent
on al these Officials to see that all the
vacancies for appointment are filled.
By this means the attendance at the
school will be doubled. 10 the mean
while, such changes shall be made in
the curriculum and general manage
ment of the school itself, by its off,
GERS, as TO make it worthy of the
reformation by the Safe. Now we
have in fact a State University,
school in which the whole State are
both actually and n0minally inter-
ested. [ should, by the aid OF our no.
bic system of public schools and mi
nor seats OF learning, become equal to
the grest schools of the North and
t.-ChattanO0ga Times.
