The James County Tragedy.
Chattanooga Times.

The jury of inquest since last Sunday
week has been investigating the murder of
Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, which was COM
mltted near Ihatcher's Landing, in James
County, July 10, she being at the time
pregnant, and her body after death being
horribly mutulated, and the head severed
from the trunk, dissolved last Saturday
night, the finding being that the deceased had
been murdared, and tnat suspicion pointed
TO Dick Henry, white, George Brown
white, and George Brown colored. AZ tbe
murderers.
The trio were arrested Immediately after
the finding and placed under strong guard.
Henry lis farmer, but in his disposition
is shitt.ess, and his character is none the
best. Brown is a blacksmith; the negro is
worthless character, who has long been
hanging around the landing; he was con-
mtted to jail about a year ago, charged
with rape, but released a few weeks since.
1he rulnor Is that one of the white men Sc
duced the woman, and to save himself hired
3he negro to commit the murder. but that
has not yet been proven.
tne 'Ilai OF the trio was set for hearing
peiofe Squire Thatcher, assisted by two
go a-ol !uetices' at a. m. Sunday, but on
accouHt OF the limited mail facilities the re-
SUI VIII not reach this city until to-day.
ufeat excitement exists in the communi-
'! ana there is some probability that if the
Sllme is proven on the prisoners they will
pe lynehed. Being the fourth murder that
mas been committed there this year, the
people are determined, by summary action,
oo ~ make the fourth the last. Already the
county mas been greatly injured by the
crimes committed within it's confnes and

LONDON, July 19.-The Irish party
in tue House of Commons seem not
quite SO hostile to the commission
er's underland bill, on the second
thought, as it first appeared 10 be,
though O'Donnell, who is sometimes
more extreme than even Parnell, de-
clares all OF ths m unacceptable, and
saws the Home Rulers will Obstruct
the appointing clause. The Cons
seryatlves are not dissatisfied. As
MIR. John e. Vernon, who is business
member, is a confidential agent of
two Conservative peers, it is be-
lived that appointments will smooth
the way for the bill in the House OF
Lords.
A meeting calling itself ''The
Revolutionary Congress- was held
in London last night. Delegates
from various parts of Europe and
Americs, representing the extreme
Democratic party, identified with
Herr Most, the imprisoned socialist,
were present. About 700 attended,
mostly workmen. Red flags were
displayed. Mrs L compte, an
American lady delegate, described
the disappointments in small farmers
going West depending on i'll usury
promises of emigrant agents, and
how great capitalists in possession
of railways oppress laborers and
ra'se the price of food in seaboard
States. Louise Michel, an amnested
French communist, then spoke,
Delegates from America, Swi zerland,
Italy and Germany followed. Prince
Krapotine, the Russian socialist, ap-
plauded the ass ,ssinatlon of several
Russian generals. It transpired dur
ing the proceedings that the socialist
congress prohibited at Senrich is sit
ting secretly in London.

APermaaent Norma, sch so,.

From Rev. DIR. w. S. Doak, State super
intendent of public obstruction, we learn
that, at u meeting of the State Board of
Education in Nashville, last Monday, the
proposition of the board of trustees of the
University of Tennessee to establish a per-
manent normal department in that institu-
ton, under the direction of the State board,
was considered, and was accepted without
an opposing vote and without any amend
ments.
In regard to this proposition from the
University, DR.. Doak says: ''It is an
agreement between the University and the
and the board that the University in its
Normal Department is recognized as one of
the Normal schools of the State. The effect
of this will be that the certificates granted
by this institute will have the power of a
teachers license. Under the normal school
law they are State licenses to teach that will
be good in any county il the State. Those
who hold them will not be compelled to
stand ony other examination in order to
teach and draw money as teachers of public
schools. These certificates will be signed
by the State Superintendent"
The Normal School law is as follows:
''Be it further enacted, That diplomas
shall be granted to those who honorably
complete the course of study prescribed in
said schools, and the possession of such
diploma shall exempt the holder thereof
from the examination prescribed as a con-
dition precedent to employment in the pub
lie schools of the State any such graduate
being eligible as teacher in any county of
the State"
By the action of the board this makes the
Normal School a permanent institution, and
from the present outlook it will be grow
ing, useful and beneficial branch of that
institution, increasing in importance each
year.
