Murfreesboro indicated.

Murfreesboro News.
We take this occasion to say to
the world at large, and to some of
our contemporaries in particular,
that many Of the reports of the ex
ecution last Friday, transmitted by
telegraph and otherwise to al parts
OF the country, we're grossly exAg
gerated, and reflect unjustly upon
this community. An immense con
course Of people, to which sur
rounding counties contributed, was
assembled In Murfreesboro on that
occasion, and although all Of the
numerous drinking saloons of our
city were open, there was much less
drunkenness than might have been
expected, and only one serious rem
counter during the day. The crowd
at the gallows-cOmprising between
ten and fifteen thousand souls
was very orderly and well behaved.
The Notwithstanding the too
protracted and elaborate rehearsals
from the pulpit and the confess
sional-was conducted, we may say,
with neatness and despatch. The
unsightly adjuncts of reserved seats,
booths and barbecue spreads, so
justly and severely condemned by
the press throughout the country.
is as severely reprobated by our
people. An effort was made by
some of our citizens to take legal
steps TO suppress those arrange
ments, but counsel did not see their
way clear to take the initiative.
Wherever the responsibility may
lie, it should not be placed upon a
community which has already been
called upon TO lear much unde
served censure. Demoralizing as
the day was, and as all sach occa-
sions must necessarily be, it was no
more demoralizing than it would |
have been under similar circum |
stances at any other center of cul- !
ture and refinement In or out of the |
state. Public executions should |
not be allowed in any country, and |
we are glad to see our brethren off
the press SO generally condemnlng |
the practice.

Some very estimable democrats
men, by the way, whose opinions
are entitled to the most respectful
consideration in the community
consider that justice will not be
done unless Hon. Samuel j. Tilden
is again nominated by the national
democracy as the candidate for
president. But to cling to that
idea seems TO be to rather bury the
principle involved in the personal
feeling in the matter. The real inju
~ done in the great steal of the pres
idency was to the principles of the
democratic party and to the people
whose servant Mr. Tilden would be
had he reached the presidents
chair. Men exist to represent great
ideas and principles. But, while
men fade, become feeble and die,
ideas and principles live. Because
the banner of democracy has been
nobly and bravely born aloft in
times past by the great ex governor
of New York, that is no reason why
he should be its standardbearer for
ever afterward, and while hosts of
younger men are anxious to see
sturdIer strides forward in the pro-
gressional road. Personally, there
was great injustice done to Mr.. Til
den in stealing the presidency from
him, but it was democratic princi-
pies and the people after all that
were outraged.

Lffe's Sad Mutations.

Jennie Tyler, niece of ex-presi-
dent Tyler, died in Brooklyn, n. Y.
last week. Ten years ago she was
one of the reigning bellies of
Washington. She possessed also
a comfortable fortune. Yesterday
her dead body lay stretched on a
table in q rickety and squalid tene-
ment of Brooklyn, her husband,
William Collins, being too poor to
defray the expenses of her funeral.
1t appears that she has wealthy rel
atives in this city, who refuse to
bury her. Jennie was married
twice; her first husband squandered
her money; her second husband,
Collins, was poor and was thrown
out of work. 1t is said that Jennie's
father lives in Harrisburg, Penn,
and he has been telegraphed for.
The dead woman's sister lives in a
handsome four-story brown stone
house in a fashionable locality in
New York. Her husband said Mrs.
Collins was not recognized on ac-
count of her marriage being be-
meath her station. Mrs. Collins
first cousin is a prominent city pol
itician, and she was also q relative
of leading lawyer in Wall street.
Her brother is said to be in Balti-
more colledge. Senator John W.
Stevenson is her cousin. Jennie
Tyler was born IN Richmond, Va, in
lS4S.

During the week following Pres

lion H. Fry, 8 clerk in the execu-
tive mansion, who had been entrust
ed with the arrangement of the pri-
vate papers of the deceased, came
into the possession of a rough draft
Of a bill in the presidents hand
writing and with his signature
Mr.. Fry, who is now resident of
this city, has preserved the doeu
ment as = memento. 1t relates to
the compensation for the emancipa-
ton of slaves and discloses Mr..
Lincoln's sentiments on the subject,
clearing up many doubts which have
arisen in the minds of the public.
AS to its genuineness, Mr.. Fry
states that many experts have so
testified. He does not know if the
bill was ever presented to congress.
The following is copy of the doc
ument:
FELLoW-CITIZEN OF THE SENATE
AND House OF REPRESENTATIVES
Herewith is the draft of a bill to
compensate any state which may
abolish slavery within its limits,

diately or gradually, it shall be the
duty of the President, assisted by

A Day of Retribution.

Athens (Tenn.) Post.
We profess to know very little of
the case, but have believed all
along that the courts would ulti-
mately hold the Torbett issue to be
just as good and valid as other is
sues of the bank of Tennessee, the
same as we believe that, unless
compromised, the entire bonded
debt of the state. with its heavy &C
cumulations of interest, will finally
have to be paid dollar for dollar.
We not only believe this, but that
the day il not far OF when the tax
payers of the state will turn upon
and wither the mouthy demagogues
and frothy patriots who, for two or
three years past, have been abusing
the popular mind and misleading it
upon subject OF such vital con-
Germ and so largely affecting their
own welfare and prosperity.

city: Friday night last Miss Leins,
residing on Capitol Hill while on
her way to church was struck down
and carried into an open lot by a
negro. who outraged and robbed
her of q sachel and prayer book.
1t was nearly two hours before she
reached her home. Her throat
was black from choking, and an ear
was nearly torn from her head and
her body covered with bf uises from
cuffs and kicks she had received.
The young woman now lies in a
critical condition. Thomas Smoth-
ers was arrested yesterday and rec
Ognized as the assailant. At mid
night crowd of about one hundred
men marched to Seventh District
Station house and demanded the
prisoner, but he had been removed
to another station where be was
guarded during the night by the en-
tire police force.

juror in case against some tobac-

revenue. He went privately to the
residence of the defendant, and asked
what they would give TO secure a
disagreement Of the jury. They
shrewdly told him that he must
serve them without pay, or they
would expose his dishonesty. He
saw that they had him at disad-
