"During the rejoicing incident to

THE Pulaski Citizen says that in
the charge of Judge McLemOre to
the grand jury Of Giles county at a
recent term of the Circuit Court, his
Honor mentioned "a species of
bribery of which candidates, he said
were frequently guilty-that of us
ing liquors TO influence voters-aDd
urged the jury TO investigate all
suspicious characters of the kind.
He held that If a candidate while
electioneering, should take crowd
of men into a saloon and treat them,
it was circumstantial evidence OF
his intent to bribe, and that il cir
cumstantial evidence was sufficient
to convict a man Of murder and
send him to the gallows, IL ought
certainly to be Of equal force to Inn
pose the penalties for crimes of less
enormity."

The Tennessee Debt.
New York qraphIc.


If the present Legislature of Ten
nessee is well advised il will accept
the proposition made by the hold
ers of the bonds of the State. We
gave the particulars of this PROPOSE
ton in our financial columns on
Wednesday,. The proposition IL a
very liberal one on the part of the
bondhOlders, and the people of
Tennessee could not do better than
to accept ii.
If they have any doubts on the
subject they would perhaps be prof
tied by remembering that one who
spoke with authority gave the
following advice on certain occa-
sion: b
"Agree with thine adversary
quickly, whilst thou art in the way
with him; lest at any time the adj
versary deliver thee to the Judge
and the Judge deliver thee TO the
officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Verify, say unto thee, thou shalt
by no means come out thence till
thou hast paid the uttermost far
thing"
1t Is true that the State of Tennes-
see cannot be cast into prison in any
literal sense. But il may be- cast
into q condition that will be a virtu-
al prison from whence il cannot
come until it has paid the uttermost
farthing. We recommend the Ten
nessee Legislature to pay attention
to the very important argument
now going on before the Supreme
Court at Washington respecting the
right of the creditors of States.
Should the Supreme Court affirm
the constitutionality of the act pass
ed at Albany last year authorizing
the Attorney General OF this State
to sue for and collect the bonds OF
defaulting States owned by citizens
of this State, the State of Tennessee
would find itself in no very enviable
position. Her creditors are now
willing to accept sixty per cent. OF
their claims; they then would in
sist upon and probably would OBJ
tain the full amount of their indebt-
edness. The patience and long-suf-
fering OF Tennessee's creditors have
been remarkable; but there Is a
limit to forbearance, and the most
patient OF men sometimes reach that
limit. Let the people of Tennessee
agree with their creditors whIle
they are in the way with them.
They must pay this debt its valid
ity Is beyond question the ability
Of the State to pay it is undoubted.
The proposed compromise Is the
best for them that they will ever
have offered to them, and the SOON
er they agree to it the better.

slowly, in fact, at one
time checking up as if to return.
She evidently apprehended danger.
No troops being observed on the
shore, and possibly seeing the Un-
dine and Venus below, she was
to proceed on her way.
AS She passed Crozier a vOlley from
his ten FOUNDER PARROTS" crashed
through her cabins, causing the
confusion and hustle on
board. She hastened up her speed,
but instantly, Earring ran his three
inch "Rodmans" in position and
drove two shots through her from
stem to stern. Other unerring shots
followed in quick succession from
both sections, and precipited most
race.
Earring was ordered TO follow
with his section the receding boat.
The guns were moved "by hand to
the 'front.'" and fired at intervals.
A most remarkable feature to be
noted was, that although the boat
was constantly in motion, and the
guns changing position at every
hardly shot failed to
strike its mark. She was irrepara-
bIy injured, and drifted ashore.
Gen, Chalmers arriving about this
time with Rucker's brigade, and a
section of Rice's battery, Lieut.. w.
FL. Briggs commanding, the Gener-
al took charge of the Chessman, and
in company with him and staff, and
a few other officers, we boarded her
and found that dinner had just been
served. Without special invitation
and regardless of Chesterfieldian
we seated ourselves and
partook of the first "square meal"
for many a day. On inspection it
was found that the CheSsman, so far
as her machinery and availability
for service was concerned, was
hopeless wreck. She had, however,
a small freight of commissary stores
including sugar, coffee, tea, candies,
and furniture. The former articles
were readily appropriated by the
troops and greatly enjoyed. The
furniture was, for the most parts,
second-handed, but very fine, and
was said to have been cOnfiscated
from the Rebels at Nashville. The
furniture was distributed among
the citizens of the neighborhood.
1t is strange to note that with such
complete destruction of the boat,
riddied from end to end and from
top to bottom, that only two or
three persons on board were wound
ed, and they but slightly. The
boat was burned by order of the

The Anniversary Celebration Yesterday
Interesting Services.

The 184th anniversary of the Old Swedes
Church was duly celebrated yesterday and
the services were unusually interesting. The
attendance was good and the quaint old
building was filled in the morning, after
noon and evening. At 1870 the usual
morning service was held, Rev. II. B. Mar
tin, ID. d., delivering a semi-historical ser
mon, taking for his text the same passage
used in the first sermon preached in the
church, "The Lord hath done great things
for us whereof we are glad" Psalm
cXxvI, 3. He said in beginning
When the stones for this church were
quarried, the church was in the far
off forest, but it is now well within the
bounds OF busy, tast-growing city, and the
stones, we are told, were brought together
by the women in their strong heavy aprons.
1t was great church in those DAYS and very
famous; it is great to-day and just as famous.
1t stands alone to-day among all the temples
of our land, in that it is the most ancient
house of God now occupied for divine SER
vice. To this house in former days came
the pious of both sexes for worship from
many miles around. Even the people of the
neighboring State Of New Jersey were wont
to come over in boats regularly every Sun
day. The first church built stood on the
shore of the Delaware on the opposite side
OF the Chrfstiana, one and half miles east
of this spot, and was built of logs. 1t was
abandoned when this church was built, 1874
years ago. The Rev. Erick Brook was then
in charge. On Trinity Sunday, 1609, the
church received the name OF Trinity.
At the afternoon, or Sunday school ses-
sion, the rector made an address, the classes
rendered their offerings, and the officers read
reports. 1t was shown that the school had
gained 43 members during the past year.
The average attendance was 100, out of a
membership Of 223. The offerings during

BALTIMORE, Md, June 5.-A youth named
Edward HeiIner Frames, 10 years of age, Q
grandson of Rev. Edward Heffner, was shot
with pistol ball through the brain and
killed during struggle with two men, by
whom young Frames and two companions
were attacked, on John street, near Green
mount avenue, between 1880 and III O'Clock
Saturday night.
Frames, in company with Edward Frames
and John Frizzell, was standing at the cor
ner OF John street and Greenmount avenue
little after 10 O'Clock, when q suggestion
was made by one of the party that they
should walk up the street. They started up
Johns street and were walking leisurely
along when they saw a young man and
woman crossing a vacant lot nearly opposite
Greenmount cemetery. IS
Another man appeared to be following the
couple, and when the latter stopped the
third party took refuge behind an unOccupied
house, apparently endeavoring to screen
himself from observation. Walden, Frames
and Frizzell stopped to see what was going
on, and as they stood in the street the man
accompanying the woman turned upon her
and endeavored to throw her to the ground.
She cried for help, and evading her COM
panion rose and moved away several yards.
Frames, thinking she was being assaulted,
started toward the supposed assailant, and
Walden and Frizzeli followed him. The
man who had taken refuge under the shadow
of the house appeared at this stage, and
joining the one who had accompanied the
woman, the two came forward to meet the
three friends.
AS the parties met the strangers brushed
past Frames, and as they did so made re-
mark. Frames replied and one of the men
Immediately wheeled, struck him In the
breast, and placing his right hand in his hip
pocket made motion as If about to draw q
weapon. Neither OF the three friends were
armed and they turned and ran down Johns
street.
AS they were running shot from pistol
was discharged and the bullet passed
Walden's head in close proximity to his left
ear. The discharge was repeated three
times, and one of the bullets struck Frames,
taking effect in his right forehead near the
temple.
The young man staggered and fell, and
great how of blood covered the ground upon
which his head lay, and soon died.
