A RumGne Monster Hung by a
w. Mob.

LOUISVILLE, July ga special
to the Courier Journal from Atlanta,
says: ENERGY Speers the Indepen-
dent Congressman from the 9th Geor-
gia district, in letter to the editor of
the Athens Waterman, denies that
he ever declared to President Garfield
that he intended to vote with the Re
publicans on organization Of the House.
He says, II have never had such an
intention, and l do not have it now"
Special to the Courier ournal from
Atlanta on the 10Th of June: Mrs.
Mitchell, the wife of a respectable
citizen Of Randolph county, Ala, was
found on the roadside between her
home and a neighbours dead, with her
throat cut. She had been ravished
after fearful struggle. Imprints of
teeth were found in a number of places
on her body, showing that the ravish
or had lost one front tooth. A man
named Waldran, who was known to
have been in that vicinity, and he hav.
ing one tooth out, directed suspicion
to him. The trail was followed by
blood hounds, and Waldrau was cap
tured near Hopkinsville, in this State,
and lodged in Jail last Saturday night.
He confessed to the murder, saying be
thought she was woman who had
testified against him in a criminal
case, but denied that he had outraged
her. Mrs. Mitchell had been mar
ried only a fey months, and had many
friends. She was about 10 years OF
age. Monday night one hundred
armed men took Waldran from the
Jail and started for the scene OF his
crime, with the intention Of burning
him alive. A telegram from there
to day states that Waldran was hanged
tn the tree at the foot OF which his
victim was found dead. Waldran was
only q years Of age and had five liv-
ing wives.

the country, can give millions to Mrs.
Garfield at a time like this without
being suspected of any selfish motive.
The question of propriety may hardly
arise, and yet it must occur that this
same money might do more good, and
confer lasting benefit on mankind.
If Mrs. Garfield were to suggest that
it be used to establish another Van
derbilt University some where, at
which poor young men and women of
the classes from which she and her
husband sprang, might be educated
upon very reasonable terms. Garfield
University would sound well. 1t
would suggest what may be accom-
plished by worthy intellectual people,
who have a purpose in life, and are
determined to be useful and respected
in the world. Bright examples
would be held up to all
seeking to enter its walls,
and such an institution would not
only add honor and give perpetuity to
a name already honorcd and respected
all over the world, but it would be the
means of bringing forth from obscur-
ity many youth who would rise to
eminence and great usefulness.

WASHINGTON, July 6. - Guiteau
rose this morning at an early hour, as
he did Sunday and Monday and Tues
day. He tides up his little cell with
great care, as is his custom, and eat
with hearty relish his morning bread
and coffee. The morning wore away
somewhat, monotonously in the narrow
room, although he availed himself to
the utmost of the opportunities
afforded by his grated window for
viewing East Washington, the Poto-
mac and its eastern branch, and the
low Maryland hills crowned by the
Government Hospital for the Insane,
in which he may find himself incarcer.
ated some bright morning should the
President recover, and tho plea of
insanity accepted as correct in order
to sequester him from the world,
where he can do no harm to any one,
Stalwart, Half Breed or Independent.
Soen he grew weary of his own
company, and expressed a wish to see
District Attorney Corkhill. The
latter has instructed the Warden Of
the Jail to summon him whenever
Guiteau asks him, and a messenger
was immediately sent for him. As
soon as he was notified Of Guiteau's
desire he sprgng into his carriage with
stenographer and drove rapidly to
the Jail. The little cell was so hot
he had Guiteau brought out
into the Warden's room, which
is spacious and airy. Along
the enclosing iron floors, corri-
doris and down the iron stairs, came
the prisoner shutting, as usual, in his
shirt sleeves and stocking feet. He
was calm and cool. His face wore
an expression OF the utmost uncon-
Germ, save when you looked into his
restless, wicked little eyes. He saun-
tered in aud dropped into an easy
chair, nodding nonchalantly to the
District Attorneys Good morning,
Guiteau." Colonel Corkhill looked
at him inqu,ringly. Guiteau looked
back impudently, almost quizzically.

Mr.. John Vertrees, Of Gallatin,
made such an able argument in favor
of sustaining the injunction against
the operations Of the iniquitous 100 3
act before Chancellor Merritt, last
week, as to elicit the highest compli-
ments on all sides. Even the High
Tax papers, that never sec anything
good in Nazareth, admitted the force
and effect of his argument. In the
course of his remarks he referred to
Senator Barrett as one who had been
bribed. The Senator hastily packed
his baggage, went to Nashville, and
brought suit for SANDER, fixing hi
damages at the moderate sum Of $40,
600. We are informed that he after
ward sent word to Vertrees that if he
would withdraw his Objectionable re-
marks he would drop his suit. Yer
trees very emphatically declined to dc
so, and said he wanted the suit to &c
ahead. 1t is not likely to come to
trial soon; some facts would be likely
to come out that the High Takers
would not relish. The methods by
which the 1908 bill was reconsidered
and worked through might all come
out, and Others suffer as we'll as Bar,
rett. AS for Smith of Fentress, he
takes it easy. No denial has come
from him or any of his friends, that

The talk of Sunday was four hours

TIE subscriptions to a fund to be
settled upon Mrs. Garfield bespeak
the liberal spirit Of the American
people. 1t is an expression of sym
patty in substantial form. Men Of
abundant means who will never miss
what they give subscribe their thou
sands to place the Garfield family be-
yond the possibility of want. If it
were necessary there is not man,
woman or child in the country bnt
would give something for the same
purpose. The popular heart has not
been SO touched with sympathy and
anxiety since the dark days Of the
great plague Of 1873, when the gener
GUS charities of the world flowed into
the stricken city of Memphis. POpu
lar feeling finds expression through
those who are rich and willing to give.
This is their right and prerogative,
and it is an instance where it must be
more blessed to give than to receive.
The Garfield family made their way
TO their present high position without
inheritance, endowment or outside aid
Mr.. Garfield was in Congress about
eighteen years, and in that time, by
the prudent management Of himself
and wife, laid aside and acquired a
handsome competency. The family
is not likely to come to want if the
President should die. They are SEN
sible people, whose heads are not
likely to be turned by the Presidency,
It may be possible that Mrs. Garfield
may hesitate about accepting such
muni6cent donations, especially if her
husband should survive, which seems
probable now. This is a matter Of
taste. which cannot be determined for
her. The subscriptions are doubtless
made in feeling of pure sympathy
and respect. Yet it cannot be forgot
