CHANDELIERS LAST SPEECH.
Not changing Enough" to Make
"Trcason Forever Odious."
Zach Chandle1. at M'wdukic.

zach CHdnQE1' az 1UduHlc.J
The one great question is, Are we or
arc we not a nation? We had the Wills
KEY rebellion in Pennsylvania. 1t was
conquered, and we said now we are n ma
ton. South Carolina rchellrd against the
ta,itf laws Of the country. Andrew
Jackson happened 10 he in the Pre>idrn-
tial chair, and he was informed that South
Carolina, under the leadership Of John
C.. Calhoun. had inaugurated 4 rebellion.
Said Jackson:
"Let South Carolina commit tho frs:
over, act of treason, and, by the Eternal,
I will hang John G. Calhoun ev-
ervbudv in America, including John G.:
Calhoun, knew that he would do 1t, and
he overt act was not committed. Then
we were sure we hal a government.
When the rebels SurIe ndered ut Apo
mattox they surrendered to a govern
ment. When they surrendered their peo-
pie ard their arms they surrendered IT,
the government of the United States Of
America. They simply asked that their
miserable lives might be spared. We
rave them their lives, and told them to
20 home and raise crops and behave
themselves, and obey the laws. They
had forfeited their property, and we re-
turned it to them. They forfeited their
citizenship, and we restored 1t to them.
We killed the fattcd calf, and invited
them to the feast, and they grandly in
formed us tliatthey had always owned
that calf aud we're not thankful for it. BY
the laws of wal and Of nations they were
in right bound to pay all expenses of the
war and of the nation. They were in all
Justice bound to pay the cost of the rebel
lion, but we forgive them with a magma
nimity unknown to the natious of the
earth. We made Il mistake, but the great.
est mistake we even made was in not
hanging enough of those rebels to make
treason forever odiouS. (Great applause. ]
I 90 back to the Senate and feel that /
have had a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep. The
same conditions that existed twenty years
ago are there now. Then they said:
Do as we want You to do or we. will
shoot your government to death.
Now the same persons say: 49,.
Fail to obey our demands and we will
starve your government to death.
These are the men who surrendered ut
AppOmattoX, yet who now hold Il major
ity in both houses of the government.
Thirty-siM repl esentatives Ir m Southern
States hold seats in Congress to-day with
out a 81 adow of right. They are there
IN violation of law. This state Of things
ought not to be. 1t must not be. 1ts.Iall
not be. IGreat appluuse.l Twelve SEN
ators occupy their seats Ivy fraud and vio-
lenre. by shotgun and tissue ballots, yet,
nv a majority thus obtained, they pro-
pose to iule this government precisely as
they did twenty years aye. The Demo-
cratic party occupies precisely the same
position it did in 1868 and 1860. Then
they were crowding the animal off the
bridge now they arc doing the same
thing, and Maine, Ohio and all the States
show the inevitable results.

hemor,hage, but whether from blows
inflicted by G. Head, or from natural eau
ses the jury are rnaOIe to de,ermiue.
This Is probably the last Of the matter
so far as Head responsibility is concern

neot him with causing the death Of Peter
son. 1t was rumoTed to-day that the
friends Of the deceased would push the
matter still farther and eadeavor to OBJ

but this is hardly true, as, unless it can
be proven positively that the Injuries sus-

Murder and Suicide.


This morning the town Of Edgington
and surrounding country was thrown into
state of the widest excitement by the
news that Miss Robbins, a young lady
aged 20 years, highly respected, had been
shot by Lee Robbins, her brother, and In
stautly killed. and that Lee Robbins had
then shot himself in the head and was
dead. The news spread rapidly and soon
the vicinity was crowded with those anx~
ious to learn the particulars. AS nearly
as could be ascertaiued the facts are as
follows:
Miss Robbins, the murdered s ri, has for
some time been receiv ng attentions from
young man named Tom Richards, against
the expressed protest of her parents and
especially her brother. She persisted IN
allowing Richards to call on her, how
ever, and an engagement was announced.
Her brother warned her that Richards
should never marry her, aud tried to per-
suade bis sister TO break the engagement,
but to no purpose, and today she was to
have been married This morning about
5 80 o'clock, while 10 her room getting
ready to tske the Mercer County train for
Rock Island, her brother went to her and
made another appeal not TO marry
the man Richards, She refused to
break her word and he then
drew pistol and shot her, killing
her instantly. Then he placed the revolt
yer at bis head and fred, infictipg a
wound from which he died half an hour
afterwards. DR.. Smith was called but it
was too late to be Of any assistance. 1pfor-
NATION was sent by Marshall Davis to
Coroner Morris, who left on the Mercer
county tr3;1 for the scene ofthe occurrence.
The place where the ma~der and suicide
happened is the Boltineham farm, about
three fourths of mile this side Of Edg' ng-
too. The ouly objection to Richards as
far as gould be learned was that he was a
drinking man and rough sort Of fellow,
Lee Robbins who did the deed was very
pleasant, respectable young man about 23
years old, and of very modest manner.
He stood we'll in the community and had
hosts of friends. The aft has cast a
gloom of sadness oyer The entire commu1.
ity of Edgipgfon. Richards. who was the
cause Of the trouble did not learn of the
dea,h Of his intended bride until neat
Milan, aud while on the tra q coming &c
Rock Island, Miss Robbins vas to have
come to Rock Island and be married to
day.

Lurgla1y.

Late last night the residence of DR.. Cor
don, north of Moline avenue, near Brooks
Crossing, was entered by thieves and some
money taken. An entrance was effected
through the porch window into the room
occupied by DR.. Gordon student, whom
the thieves chloroformed and then robbed.
DIR. Gordon was almost immediately
alarmed, but before he could get his res
volyer the burglars had escaped. The
doctor blew bis police whistle, and in less
time than it takes to write this, Officer
Hull was on the ground closely followed
by Officer Mclaughlin. When the doctor
first awoke the burglars were still in sight,
and if Doc. had had his revolver, there
would have been pair Of badly wounded
criminals. To-day the police were on the
lookout for a couple os suspected parties,
but up to this writing no arrests have been
made. When Doctor Gordon blew his
whistle Hull was at that time watching
