Death by HydrOphObia.

Jas. c. Hanna, ESQ, of Campbells.
vile, Giles county, Tenn, died on Sun
day, 9th inst, of hydrophobia, occa-
sion ID by the bite of madadog. The
facts are briefly these:
Mr.. Hanna came home one evening
about the last of November and went
to the barn to put away his horse and
found senseless looking dog near the
stable. He threw cob at the animal
which served only to arouse his fury,
and springing at Mr.. H. bit him severe
ly on the hand, and did not relinquish
his hold till Mr.. Hama cut his throat
and killed him dead. Every remedy
and expedient was2pplied to the wound
including the mad Stone, and it healed
up slowly, and on the first Monday in
January Mr.. II. attended County
Court at Pulaski, apparently as well as
ever; but on the 9th he was affected
with peculiar painfulucss, attended
with dread of water. These feelings
grew into paroxysms of intense suffer
ings, and the fear of water became so
great that he could not bear to hear
even the pumping of it at the WE'LL nor
taste it even in his food. The parox-
ysms increased in number and severity
until Sunday, the 9th, when soon after
one Of the most intense ones, he became
perfectly quiet and died amid the ut
most composure.
We were personally acquainted with
Mr.. Hanna, and from the particulars
given in the Pulaski Herald, regard
this as the saddest and, at the same
time, the plainest case of human by
drophobia of which we ever had any
knowledge.

A Letter from Hon. John V. Wright

The following extract from a letter,
received by friend in this city from
Hon. John Y. Wright, has been handed
the american for publication:
Having seen my name mentioned
in several papers in connection with
the Office of United States Senator, |
desire to say that | have not been, am
not and will not under any circumstan-
ces be candidate for that exalted po-
sition.
eff | had concluded to take such a
step, | certainly never would have APP,
peared in the Hobbies and corridors of
the capitol soliciting, either by act or
word, the support of the representa-
tives of the people, regarding, as | do,
the Office as one which "should seek
the man and not the man the office"
And, further, if had desired to
present myself for so high a place, |
could not and should not have expected
to receive the support of any represen-
tative who did not in his heart and
judgment approve my views as publicly
expressed, and who did not believe me
fitted to discharge the duties appertain.
ing to the representative of a great
State.
| take pride in stating that | am still
in favor of the maintenance of the
public faith, State and national, !" and,
in my humble opinion, the restoration
of the State of Tennessee to a high
position on this question is paramount
to all other political questions, and one
in which the present and future geDer.
atoms have more interest than the cleo
ton of any man to any office, or the
success of any party. Let us save the
State, and when we have done this, il
there be party worth saving, let us
go to work in good earnest and save
it.
If political parties, as now organized,
are intended merely to divide spoils
and are to be held together by the co.
hesive power of public plumber, then
the day has come when patriotism de.
mands that honest men shall break the
shackles of party and grind them i'll
dust, and stand for the country first
and the party afterwards.
Respectfully, your friend,
JNo. V. WRIGHT"

Chips for COIored Voters.

Mr.. Hayes, the next day after the
election when he learned that he was
defeated, had but one regret to ex-
press, and chat was for the "poor col
ored men of the South" Soon after
by fraud he was seated as President
and has been in power now four years,
during which he has had nothing to
say or do for the "poor colored men,"
He had the appointing power but gave
no Office in his cabinet or elsewhere of
any Importance to the "pOor colored
man." Mr.. Garfield now follows his
example, He fiattered the negro in
his gushing speeches before the election
but now has no further use for him.
lie got their votes, and that was all he
wanted. He and his pet friends will
take care of the offices.
Colored men, what think you of such
professions before the elections and
such practices afterwards? Have they
not played this game on you for fifteen
years past? The South has put few
colored men in Congress and the State
Legislatures, but the North has put
none in Office. Mississippi sent Bruce,
colored man, to the United States
Senate, Louisiana sent Pinchback, Ar
kansas has few colored men in her
Legislature, and so has Tennessee and
South Carolina, but they have not
been put there by the North. The
North has had control of the general
government for twenty years, and she
takes care to keep the negro out of of.
flee. Where is Fred Douglass to-day
Out of Office, and will remain so unless
he comes South. The sum of the
matter is this: When no white Repub
lican can get the Office he is willing the
negro has it rather than for a Demo
Graf to have it. This is Northern phi.
lanthropy, this and nothing more.
COlored men, what think YOU OF
that party that has fattered you and
thus obtained your votes, and now Mr..
Garfield is selecting men to ill his cab
met and other offices, and neither he nol
the Republican papers have word tc
say about office for you? The Demo
Gratis made no promises and have no.
deceived you. The Republicans did
and you are now deceived. Which is
the more honorable?

HadIey, the negro doorkceper of the
House, is a Nashville saloon keeper and
is now under indictment in two cases for
violating the Sunday laws. He was
preferred by the Republicans ever two

So much for the party of great moral
IDEAS in Tennessee.
