MEMPHIS, TRIM, December l6, 1880 J
Over three-quarters of a million in
gold was withdrawn from the Bank Of
England, for shipment to this coun
try on yesterday, making nearly a mil
lion and half Of dollars sont by this
institution to this country since Mon
day morning. The recent advance of
interest rates from q to 3 per cent,
by the bank, seems to have had no in
auence toward checking the move
ment Of gold toward America. Mean
time there is no let up in the strin-
gency prevailing in eastern financial
markets. The demands of the west
and south on money to handle the
crops, and the heavy speculative
movement in railway aud other securi-
ties in eastern markets, is assigned as
the leading cause Of the prevailing
tightBess. In this market there is no
fluctuations Of Importance. Discount
rates are steady at s per cent, while
exchange is in liberal offering, with
the banks taking cotton bills at / to
&c discount on the east, and lc off on
New Orleans. Drafts on New York
and New Orleans can be bought at
par.

An Indiana Lrnchine.

George Scott, who outraged and
murdered Mrs. Allison, a farmers
wife, was hanged by a mob at Brazil.
Ind. early Sunday morning. A spe.
cial thus describes the lynching: In
less time than it has taken to write
this, the Jail, situated in an isolated
portion Of the city, some distance
from the depot, was reached by 1000
men, who scame from every quarter Of
the city. At once a guard was formed
around the structure, and the crowd
ordered to keep back. Then twenty
strong, determined men were selected
by the leader, who headed them and
marched to the entrance of the Jail.
This reached, the leader, through the
wicket, demanded the keys. This
was refused, when battering iams
we're brought into requisition, and,
welded by strong arms, soon burst
the door open. The jailer was Sc
cured, the keys taken from him, and
he cell containing Scott was reached.
The miserable, groveling wretch was
covering IN a corner, trembling with
tear. lie was ordered to come out
into the hall of the Jail. This he re-
rused to do, W hen two of the party
entered and laid hold OF him. Being
a powerful man, he resisted with the
ti%erceness and strength of an enraged
Tiger, but was finally thrown to the
floor, his arms pinioned, and
the rope placed around bis neck,
when he was led out Of the building.
Upon reaching the yard surrounding
the Jail the villain made a desperate
resistance, and, succeeding in freeing
his arms, a desperate struggle eEsued
between him and the vigilants, in
which the cries M Mercy"
and Help" were uttered by him, as
though the worthless dog was entitled
to anything like mercy or help. In
the struggle he received severe bruises
on the head and body. He was finally
overcome and led to a tree near the
jail, when he hogan to cry piteously,
but as he had refused to listen to the
appeals OF his outraged victim, who
died but a few hours before, so did the
vigilants refuse to listen to him. The
rope vas thrown wei a limb of the
tree, and twenty strong and willing
hands seized it as it came down toward
the earth. At a given signal ten men
pulled all together, and the worthless
carcass of George Scott was suspended
between heaven and earth until life
was extinct. After he was pronounced
dead the crowd quietly dispersed and
went to their homes. This morning
the coroner cut it down and took
charge of it. So ends the tragedy.
Although no secret was made of the
matter, no one can be found who was
there or who knows anything about it.

The NennlorinI Uon1est.

The following is from an interview
with Hon. II. H.. Harrison, in the
Atlanta Post Appeal;
What is the senatorial situation in
TENNESSEE asked the writer.
We'll, sir, it is very much mixed,
and little can be predicted of the
result at this distance"
How does the vote stand in the
l~egislatureT'
THE democrats have 81 votes on
joint ballot the republicans have AZ
and the greenbackers1. The governor
has refused to issue a certificate to
Stewart, of the senatorial district
composed Of Polk and Bradley coun-
ties, so that one vote is now out Of the
count. The greenbacker IS a mar of
republican a%ntecedents and was sup
ported By republicans, and his vote
may be safely set down on the repub-
lican side in the senatorial election
"Who are the democratic candi-
dates?
They are legion. Senator Bailey
and General Bate are the most promi-
nent, but the field is full of dark
horses. The trouble in 1.-THE democratic
situation is the difficulty they will
have in uniting their full strength on
ono man, They have only fifty-one
votes, and Il requires that Gity Of
them should stand together to elect
their man.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AT WASH

The interest in the senatorial cleo.

governor by eiecting one speaker Of
the senate to succeed Governor HaW-
kins, even if the party thereby gains
the United States senate. Under 10
circumstances will the East TeDnes-
seeans enter into such a combination,
and a majority Of them express a
preference for Horace Maynard as
their candidate, and they believe there
are enough progressive democrats Of
an Independent national character TO
elect Maynard over a bourbon. In
addition to the republicans it takes
but three votes to do it.
