MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY.
One Brother Murdered and tho Othe
Unconsciously Becomes His Avenger.

A merchant of this city who has been
in the Western part of the State for sew
eral days past, and just returned home
yesterday, brings an account of q big
sensation with which that section is stir
red up at present The current report
az he relates it, presents situations of so
startling nature as to be scarcely par.
alleled in the record of modern crimes.
Two horse droyers from Tennessee
we're proceeding through Mitchell Coun-
ty, their destination being Asheville. with
Il drove of horses, when two of the num-
ber were discovered missing from the
drove since their last stopping place,
some distance back. 1t was agreed by
the drovers, who were brothers, that one
of them should proceed to Asheville with
the m ain drove, while the other should
return for the purpose of recovering the
strayed horses; and that they should
both meet at house which was then in
sight; the one after he had sold the
horses in Asheville and gotten the money
for them, and the other when he had
succeeded in his search.
The latter, after some days, succeeded
in finding the horses and bringing them to
the house where ne had the appointment

permission to stay, and retired at an early
hour to room to which he was shown,
the door of which he took the precaution
to lock before going to bed. Some time
during the night he was awakened by I
knocking at the door. He inquired who
was there, and received the answer,
"Your bzother," in strange voice. He
replied that it was not his brothers.

difference; it was desired he should open
the door anyway. He refused, and q
threat was made to break down the door.
He replied no more, but held his pistol,
which he had before secured, in readi.

axe demolished the door, and he .discov-

REDMoND,s FATE.

A letter .from Raleigh, N. c., in refer
ence to the alleged capture aud death of
Redmond, the outlawed moonshiner,
says:
"Redmond was at his home, in Swain
County, where he has resided since he
fled from South Carolina. When the
officers surrounded his house and con-
ceaied themselves in the bushes the dogs
began to bark, and Redmond took his
gun and went ont to see what was the
matter. He was hailed by the officers
TO halt. Redmond Immediately raised
his gun to shoot and was fired upon by
the officers. He was then taken to Char.
lesion, the county seat, where he died the
next day. He said TO Ray, who shot
him: You have shot me-; I never sur
rendered and never would have done SO.
Redmond killed and wounded several
officers during his career, and was known
as o thoroughly desperate man, who
would die with his boots on rather than
give up aud take his chances in the
coH:is.n

DEATH OF LORD BEAcoNsr1ELD.

The death Of Lord Beaconsfield, who
has been i'll for some time, occurred in
London at half.past one o'clock on Tues
day morning, 10Th inst, in his 10th year.
He was the son Of Isaac nisraeli, The
author Of 'The Curiosities of Literature, "
etc. Benjamin Disraeli achieved great
success in literary as well rs political
life. He wan the author of several
novels of great merit, having commenced
his literary labors before the age of
twenty. one. He was n Jew by birth,
but his political aspirations led him to
profess and advocate the religion OF I'll.
Established Church. However, he seem
ed to be conscious of the fact that he was
Jew, and in "Coniugsby," one of his
novels, he took occasion to pay hand
some tribute TO the Hebrew character,
recounting the eminent positions In the
political and literary world filled by rep
resentatives of his own race. After
being defeated two or three times, he
was elected to Parliament at the age of
thirty.two. Since that time he has occu.
pied many prominent positions. He was
thee times Chancellor of the Exchequer,
AID while holding this position delivered
his famous speech in the House CT Com.
mons upon the death of the Duke of
Wellington in 1862. He was twice
Prime Minister of Euglsnd-firs in
1868, and again in 1874, on the dissolu-
ton of Gladstone's Ministry. He con-
tinued to occupy this great and responsi.
BILE office until the new Cabinet was or.
ganized with Mr.. Gladstone at its head.
Whilst his political career has in several
respects been condemned, it is conceded
by all that he was man of great genius
and political sagacity. His long life was
an illustrious and active one. His sue.
cess was almost commensurate with his
aspirations, and whilst engaged with the
iahnrs of m active political life, he
maintained rank in the literary world
which ia worthy &c Tie h;ghes. aHa;iIa-

an article in which the writer seem to
consider change Of parties certain, aud
adds that when the change comes men
will not hesitate to express their opinions
for fear of being condemned by public
sentiment. These ideas appear 10 us to
be dangerous, as well as falacious The
Republican administration is oppos.
ed to the true interests of the South.
Their whole effort is to secure 20 them the
perpetual administration of the govern.
ment. To this end they have encroached
upon the Constitution as far as was IN their
power. 4 division Of the Democratic
South is just what they want. Shall we
sacrifice several Of our States to the insa-
liable MinOtaur? Are we TO try e con.
ciliate the Republicans by giving up self
government? We would not have one
section of o., country opposed to anoth-
er. The interests Of the North and
South are common, and it can result in
| no good for one section TO put itself in
continued opposition to the other. The
Democratic party Of the South has never
sought to array one section against an
other. II has sought to obtain good
and economical elf:government, and it
has done this. II has the confidence Of
our people, aud is the government Of the
class who represent the intelligence,
virtue, wealth, and common interests of
cur country. Are the principles of the
Democratic party such NJ we should give
up? II is true that there is little differ
cncc between the two great parties in
some respects. Upon some questions
there is difference Of opinion among tie
constitute rs of both parties, such as,
financial policies, the reformation Of the
tariff, &c. Yet, there is great
difference between the principles Of
the Democratic and Republican parties.
II WAS with much difficulty and after
great effort that the Constitution WAS
ever adopted. Why? Because the peo-
pie thought it coded too much power into
the hands of the general government and
endangered their liberties. They .ny
the danger of party patronage and cen
tralization. The Democrats have always
opposed Capitalization. The Rcpubli-
can party has been rs active in its efforts
to Capitalization as Alexander Hamilton
himself. II has engrosscd all the power
| and patronage possible in order 10 main.
tain party supremacy. But what is worse
than this, it owes its present existence to
| sectional animosity 1t is the avowcG
enemy Of the South. The recent success
of the Republican party was obtained
by abusing the South, not by discussing
principles. If it were argued that it wan
obtained by discussing principles, wo
should believe from the Republican
papers that the greatest principle of the
party was opposition to The South. We
would not advocate the opposition of
section to section, but we cannot give up
the principles of the Democratic party.
To abandon these principles would be our
ruin. Then why give up the name of
Democrat, if we do not give up Demo
cratic principles. There is nothing Sec
tional in the name Of our party. We
cannot afford to disband the party whose
virtuous and intelligent rule has brought
peace and prosperity to our country and
advanced its most important interests.

In Memoriam.-It IS our sad lot to

In MemOriam.-It is our sad lot to
chronicle the death of Miss Alice r. Green,
which took place at the residence of her
parents, in this place, at five O'clock, on the
morning of the Goth ult Miss Green was
born March 6, 1860, and was consequently q
little over twenty-one years of age. Her
last illness, Consumption confined her to
her bed exactly nine weeks, and during all
this time she bore her affection, which was
painful until death relieved her, with per-
feet resignation and cheerfulness, and re-
retaining full possession of her faculties un-
til the last, excepting her sight, which failed
as the hour of departure came, and she rec
ognized the members of the family by voice.
She was loving and dutiful daughter, a
kind sister and devoted member of the
the intensity and devotion of a child for its
mother. She died as she lived, true chris
tian, firm in the knowledge that she would
live beyond the grave. In her death our
town has lost as good n christian lady as
ever blessed any community; one whose
lie has been beautiful example OF Chris
tan charity and whose influence was felt
far beyond her home circle.
How sad is the thought that the tender
est ties and connections which we form OH
earth must be broken in the hour of death.
Such is the sentiment of the human heart at
this moment ofdissolution; the hour of sep
aration from those we love and esteem. But
where grief is associated with spiritual re-
Elections such as rest beyond the tomb, a
"Glorious Immortality" the idea of separa-
ton is attended with the most consoing
considerations, and the relatives and friends
of the deceased should be comforted by such
thoughts. She has gone but little before
them and us, soon all shall follow This is
life; friend after friend departs to that great
unknown futurity, and one by one the de-
lights OF our earthly homes are wrested
from us.
The remains OF the deceased, after ser
vices at the Christian church by Elder
Schel, Were inferred yesterday afternoon in
the Baptist cemetery Of this town
