Our contemporary and namesake,
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, in
speaking of the project of organizing
the militia Of the several States! SO as
to form q real National Guard, says
that ut is beset with the difficulties
that surround all movements tending
to OentraliEe power in the general gov
eminent, but the bill favOrably re-
ported to the last Congress was drawn
so as to fully protect the rights of the
States, and deserved to be adopted.
The project is simply to provide that
the militia Of the several States, though
under State control and command,
shall be uniformly armed and equipped
and drilled by one system Of tactics.
To secure this it was proposed that
the United States should furnish drill
masters at the call of the States and
subject for the time being to the COM
mand OF theState military authorities,
and that the general government
should also determine the arms and
equipment to be used. In the
absence of a standing army of con-
siderable size this is an important
matter. A uniform force of State
militia would form the nucleus Of q
great army, ready at short notice to
becalled into service. At present the
force, while willing enough, would be
Of comparatively little use.. In the
mere matter Of ammunition there
would probably be great difficulty in
supplying an army made up Of the
Independently organised militia Of
several States, simply because there
might be several styles Of guns car
ried, each requiring its special fixed
ammunition. If Congress will moi
act in the matter and secure the con.
sent Of the States, an effort should be
made by the militia organizations
themselves to secure the same end by
the American way Of reaching al
desirable things-a convention.

electioa 81 Andrew Allison, Esq., Of
Nashville, as one Of the Vice Presi-
dents Of the American Bar AssOcia-
ton is a matter of much qualification
to every Tennesseean. Mr., Allison is
one of the most distinguished mem

State, and is held in high esteem, not
only by his professional brethren, but
by the general public, who know him
to be pure, high minded gentleman,
whose excellent standing in society
and the legal world has been honora-

honored by an election to the Presi-
dency Of the State Bar Association, of
which organization he is a very active

much reason to feel proud of the ad-
ditional honor which the highest legal
body in the land conferred upon him
yesterday.

Killed by the Accidental Discharge of
Gun.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, January %.
One of the most horrible cases of death by
accidental shooting which ever occurred hap
penei at the house of nds W. Hopkins,
about three miles south of this city, this after
noon, by the accidental discharge of shot
gun. young Hopkins blowing the entire head
off his young and beautiful wife. The hus-
band and wife were alone in the sitting-room
when the terrible tragedy occurred, and his
story of the affair is as follows:
"It is all SO HORRIBLE said the young man,
"that l hardly know how to begin. On my
return from town tod y went to the barn
and ut up the horse, my wife joining me,
and together we re-entered the house. After
some little work my wife went into the sitting
room or library, and sat down by the stove in
a rocking-chair, with some work in her hands.
Igot a shotgun which had been In the house
for some time, and proceeded to load it and
clean the locks, as l had noticed som
rabbit tracks near the barn, and wanted to have
the gun ready for instant use. One barrel was
already loaded-the left one AMI going into
the room where my wife was, 1 loaded the re-
manning barrel and then sat down in a chair
nearly in front of her and took up a small OIL
can to oil the locks Of the gun, which were
somewhat rusty. allowed the gun barrel to
rest partially across my a. m and leg during the
operation, when suddenly, as pulled back the
hammer of the harre,, it slipped out of my fin
gers and then the gun went off with noise
like thunier. and my wife fell right over
against tn wall. But ! can't tell any more
about it, as l was nearly wild: The charge of
sho- tore my po0rwife's head partially off, but
when / grabt ed her she was dead. oh, my
God, it was awful, awfulI'
The unfortunate woman was not five feet
from her husband when the affair occurred
and Il mass Of her brains were blown against
the white walls. from which they rebounded tc
the opposite WALL an portions of her skull
ranging in size from Il quarter to an inch in di
ameter. were scatter d all over the room
| Photographs mirrors and every article around
were no ribiy bespattered. Hopkins was only
| twenty-five years old and had been married
but two years. Both parties belong to old ant
| quite wealthy families. and their home was ar
! excee tingiy beautiful place. The Coroner
viewed the rema ms and dec ded, unless
further facts are developed, that an inques
will be unnecessary, accidental shooting being
| evident.
