train was on its way to Springfield.
which place they expected to reach
within an hour.
The ssboysu were followed bv a
large crowd Of citizens to the depot
who cheered them az the train NOV
ed rapidly out towards ssthe front -
Besides the guns which the de-
tachments bore, some of the MEM
bers were armed with large corpora
ton rev0lvers, obtained from the
police station, while Others had
skirmished around for revolvers
kept by citizens at their various
places Of business.

Of the sickness of his wife.
The military companies spent the
night in Springfield and part Of the
next day, but no further trouble
was anticipated. A jury has been
appointed in the case, and at last
accounts the trial was regularly pro-
crossing. No further attempts at
lynching are feared.
At the latest accounts all was
quiet at Springfield. The murder
ers were on trial, and Andrew Duff
fy one of the prisoners had turned
States evidence and gave a most
horrible account of the crime. If
his evidence is received by the jury
we are of the opinion that there
will be one of the biggest hanging
in Robertson county soon, that has
ever occurred in this state.

THE LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATE
ING COMMITTEE.

The committee of the legislature
appointed to investigate the charges
Of bribery and corruption brought
against Messrs. Davis and Plum
mer, members of that body, has
been dragging its slow length along
for over two weeks, and as yet have
developed nothing. They have sent
for and examined great many wit
nesses, whose profound ignorance is
wonderful, and the whole affair
seems likely to subside into a farce
and burlesque. We not, ofcOurse,
know whether there was any ground
for these chargest against Davis and
PIummer, but it is said that where
there is much smoke, there is also
some fire, and no one can deny that
the circumstances were against the
men charged, and that the matter
ought to have had a thorough,
prompt and searching investigation.
We do not say that this has not
been done, but it does seem to US
that there has been too much levity
and lack of seriousness on the part
of the committee, and Of the press
in commenting upon their work.
They can rest assured that the pub
lie will not be content with any
thing short of a thorough and COM
plete sitting of the whole matter.
They must either fully and COM
pletely exhonerate the parties
charged, or else definitely establish
their guilt, so that they shall meet
with the consequence of their crime.
If there is any bribery, as charged,
thorough and complete exposure
will do much to place the politics of
the state on a higher plane and set
an example that will long be needed
Every honest man in the state.
without regard to politics, devOutly
wishes a complete investigation,
and hopes the committee will leave
nothing undoneto get at the bottom
of this miserable affair.

a Now notel and Tneater.


If there are any two things
pthat GAINESVILLE needs above all
others to establish her claim to be-
ing city, they are new hotel
building and first-class theater.
We venture the assertion that there
is no town of its population and
general business thrift in the south
but can boast of a much finer and
more substantial hotel and theater
than we have here in our city. We
do not refer to the management of
our hotels, for they are conceded by
the travelling public to be conducted
in as satisfactory, thorough and
comfortable manner as the build
ings and their improvements will
permit of, but rather to the houses
themselves. There is no denying
the fact that our hotel and theater
buildings are far behind the other
Improvements of our city, and that
if they weremore modern and more
conveniently located, they would
add greatly to the appearance and
general reputation of our city.
When a stranger comes to a town,
the very first thing that attracts his
attention, and selves as a criterion
for his judgment of the place, are
the hotels and Ilaces of public
amusement. If these are poor and
deficient in appearance, he is very
apt to form a like opinion of the
place generally.
We are far beyond any other city
of its size in the state il the number
and magniticence of Dur private
dwellings and business nouses, and
why should we not keep abreast
with these in our public buildings.
Is it lack of public spirit and en-
terprise on the part of CIR mer-
chants and capitalists ? We think
not, but is rather owing to tie fact
that these important needs have
been permitted to lie dormam and
the attention of the public ey not
having been sufficiently called Il it,
they have grown apathetic.
Now that the building season VII
soon be upon us, we hope to see, b.
fore the summer is over a splendi,
new hotel and suitable theatelI
built in our midst.

THE Hon. Fernando Wood was
the craftsman of the funding bill
now pending before congress. He
fast introduced it in the house, and
when the bill had developed con-
siderable opposition, and a DISPOSE
ton to filibuster manifested itself,
although so weak he could hardly
stand, he rose and appealed to the
house to ratify, for the sake of the
national credit, the act of one in the
expiring hours of public life. Mem
bers on both sides, it is said, saw in
the appeal prophecy, which was
soon sadly fulfilled.

DEATH Of THE HON. FERNANDO
WOOR.


The Hon. Fernando Wood, of
New York, died at Hot Springs,
Ark, last Sunday night. The cause
Of his death was a complication of
govt and rheumatism, for the relief
of which he had gone to the Springs.
The waters were of no benefit to
him, however, and his physicians
entertained no hope of his recovery
from the first.
The intelligence OF his death was
received with profound regret
throughout the entire country. At
the Springs there was a suspension
of business on Monday in honor of
the distinguished dead, and tie en-
tire community and city officials
turned out to escort his remains to
the depot.
He was an honored and distin-
guished leader i'm the democratic
party of the north, and his loss will
be deeply and sincerely felt by all
the citizens of this country He was
an active and capable statesman,
aud no man stood higher in the
estimation of his constituentsin New
York City.
He was born in Philadelphia in
1872, and removed to New York in
1920. He amassed a large fortune
as a shipping merchant, and retired
from business in 1850. He was sent
to congress in 1871, '42 and '43. He
was moderate, sensible, conserva-
tive member of that body, giving
many evidences ofsplendid business
tact and practical good judgment.
He was again elected to the 9th,
3sth, 10th, 4Ist, 42d, 4Sd, 44th, 10th.
and 4Sth congresses; was mayor of
New York City for the year 1855,
'56, 81, 81 and 50; was chairman of
the ways and means committee in
the present house, and several other
committees. He was the author of
the present funding nil now in the
senate. He took a prominent part
in all national legislation, and was
held in the highest esteem by all his
associates for his high character and
sterling worth.

oum o1rr.s GOVERNMENT.
what Her Guardians Have Been
Doing.

Doing.
1t has been said that they who
are faithful over a few things shall
be made rulers over many, and we
hope that tho prediction will prove
true of our very excellent board of
mayor and aldermen. The citizens
Of GAINESVILLE will, we think, with
out a dissenting voice, second this
wish, and extend to them that hard
earned praise which they have SO
richly deserved.
No good citizen can read the full
report of our most efficient mayor
and his equally competent subOrdi-
mates without feeling a sense of
pride and qualification at the work
they have done, and TIE very fiat
tering condition of the city's finan-
ces and other matters. For some
years past our city has not been in
a sound and healthy financial con-
ditiOn. We do not propose to lay
the responsibility for this at the
door of any particular adniinistra-
tion, il indeed it can be charged to
any one government, but merely to
assert the fact-a truth which we
have all known and sadly felt. 1t
is hardly pertinent to recount the
many causes and circumstances that
were conducive to this much-to-be-
regretted condition of our city
affairs, and which have contributed
so largely toward the clogging of
its material growth and prosperity,
both in business and population,
and we prefer rather to view with
Joy its present prosperous state, and
to hail the very thorough and ex-
plicit showing of its present officers
with pride, believing as we DO that
its condition, as therein exhibited,
to be the harbinger of a new era for
GAINESVILLE and prompt advance
ment of her great interests.
The showing of the finance COM
mittee is very encouraging indeed,
and we congratulate them on the
earnest work they have done the
past year. The city's debt has been
largely diminished, and the bonds
which a year or so back sold at sew
enty-five cents on the dollar, are
now at par, and all of the current
expenses of her government are
promptly met.
We cannot give full account of
che doings of the board the past
year, but invite careful perusal of
Mayor Crusman's report, which we
publish elsewhere.

SENATOR HOWELL e. JACKSON

1t is with much regret we hear
that SenatOr-elect Jackson has found
it necessary to resign his seat in the
legislature but he was forced to dc
this. He found that it was absO-
lutely necessary for him to go home
and attend to some of his private
affairs, in time for him to take his
seat in the senate in March. How
ever, he would only have had a few
more weeks in the legislature, and
he could hardly have assisted in do
ing much important work in 50
short time.

our POSITION ON WHITE BUR
LEN

Our testy but none the less
esteemed contemporary breaks out
with the plaintive cry, "Why all
this bowling at our heels on White
BurIey?" and then proceeds to Gil
up one side of his edifying paper
with over a column in defense Of its
position on White Burfey. Wehave
no desire to enter into controversy
with our neighbor, and do not in
tend 10 do so, but we must claim
the privilege Of publishing and com
menting upon all communications
on This subject sent to us by our
friends and subscribers, as well as
all others that may interest or bear
upon their interests. "The very
head and front OF our offending hath
this extent, no more"
1t is true we did advise our farm
ers to give White Burley trial, if
they saw fit, and we have no desire
to retract that, but the more we
have investigated the subject, the
more are we convinced that it is not
the tobacco. to be raised or made
profitable in our tobacco-growing
district. We have talked, in the
last few weeks, with many farmers
who have given ii fair trial, and
we find them, with hardly an ex-
ceDtiOn, of the Same opinion. We
have also interviewed some of our
warehousemen and gentlemen of
the tobacco board, and we find them
entertaining the same views that we
have expressed-that there is not
nO,o and neUe1' acU be any profitable
market here for White Burnley.
This is all we have said, and we
propose to stand or fall by it. We
may not be competent to give any
advice whatever on the subject of
tobacco" but we can hardly doubt
the competency of the judgment of
men who have made tobacco life
study, and who have raised it regu-
larly for the last twenty-five years
or more. The opinion of such men
as these may not convince the
learned editors of the Leaf, but they
are, to cur humble mind, as strong
as ''proof of Holy Writ"
We are too firmly established in
the affections and friendship of the
good farmers of our county to will
fully or Intentionally advise them
against the least of their interests,
even if we were competent to do SO,
and we have not given them our
opinion, but that of the very best
tobacco men of the county.
/, And now, in short, let US state
that we have no desire to iInpugn
the motives of anyone, but shall
pursue the even tenor of our w v,
let the chips fah where they may.
We are not to be deferred by the
rustling of any Leqf, and hardly by
those that are as colorlesss and SUBJ
Shameless as those of "White Bur-
ley"

\ great deal has been said on this
very urgent and important subject
by the press throughout the state,
and We are glad to see some action
has been taken upon it in the legis-
lature. There is hardly any subject
that comes closer to their material
interests or more Immediately inter
ests the people of our state than this
OF what we shall do to establish
good system of public roads through
out the state.
Thesubject has been brought more
particularly to the attention Of the
people this winter than in previous
times because of the severe weather
which has rendered the road almost,
If not entirely, impossible; but the
necessity that our legislature should
promptly and firmly take up this
vexatious evil and try to remedy it
by suitable legislation becomes ev-
cry day the more and more crying
and imperative.
People who live in the country
and pay taxes have a right and
ought to demand that part of these
taxes should &c to the improvement
Of the public highways, by which
they are enabled to send their crops
to market. No little trouble and
inconvenience arises TO farmers and
the many country merchants from
an inability to travel the roads dur
ing the winter months of the year.
Bur this question is far broader in
its importance than we have the
space to diIate upon, and has di-
rect bearing upon the business and
prosperity of our entire state. 1t
ought not to be left to the separate
action of each county court, how
ever efficient they may be, but de-
serves and we trust will meet with
a decisive and careful action on the
part of our legislature.
