WASHINGTON, November 22.-The con-

than at any time since the fight opened.
The attempt to raise the sectional issue
has livened up the situation very mate
rally since yesterday A determined eff
fort is being made by the Carlisle inen to
blame Randall for the bringing of the
SECTIONAL QUESTION INTO THE CANVASS
to keep votes away from Carlisle. When
interviewed to-day on the subject, Mr..
Randall replied: at is UNANIMOUSLY false
did not start this question. deprecated
it at first and condemn it now. My friends
have not touched it; they condemn it as
much as DO. Why should l raise ques-
ton of this sort? 1, who have always re-
ceived such consideration at the hands OF
the South. l had rather be defeated for
the Speakership than to be elected upon
an issue that tevives settionalism."
THE FLOP
of the Atlanta Constitution from a position
of violent opposition to Randall to his
support is looked upon by the Randall
men as a favorable augury for their favor

CHATTANOOGA, November 22.-Andy
Taylor, the last living of the three Taylor
brothers, who murdered two sheriffs and
captured railroad train with 100 passen-
gers on board, compelling the engineer to
carry them twenty miles at dangerously
high speed about year ago, will be
hanged tomorrow at o'clock at Loudon,
Tenn. To-day, while being taken from
Knoxville to Loudon, he slipped a revol-
yer out of the pocket of one of the guards,
and though heavily manacled, managed
to get the muzzle OF the pistol within a
few inches of the head of Sheriff Foute,
of Loudon, but owing to the fact that Tay-
lor thought the pistol was a self-eocker,
was knocked down before he could raise the
hammer of the pistol. He remarked: "If
! had not mistaken the pistol for a self
cocker, you (Foute) would have got to hell
| several hours before me-" Taylor is but
| twenty-one years old, but seems to have
no fear of the gallows. The execution is
| to be private. The crime was committed
| by the two elder brothers and himself.
| The release of the elder brother was one
OF the most atrocious and daring deed:
ever committed in the State.

THE PROTEUS INQUIRY.
Secretary Chandler and Gen. Hazen Be
fore the Court.

WASHINGTON, November 22.-Secretary
Chandler testified before the Proteus court
to-day. He said the acting chief signal
officer informed him that it was not neces-
sary that the Yantic should carry any sup
plies for the Greely or Darlington parties,
but Notwithstanding this, he directed that
the vessels guns were to be taken out and
she be filed up with provisions. When
the Yantic returned to st. James she had
three months supplies for 129 men.
Gen. Hazen was recalled, and read q
letter in response to the inquiry what he
intended to prove by witnesses he desired
to summon. The substance of the letter
is that testimony has been given before
the court showing the conduct of the chic
signal officer in connection with the ex.
pedtion to have been carelessly and in
comPetently performed, and tending to
give the impression that he had beer
guilty of culpable and almost criminal neg
lect of duty. As failure to do his dutie:
properly would deservedly subject him tC
generalfcourt-martia he claims the
right TO have witnesses summoned by
whom to prove beyond reasonable doub
that he neglected none of his duties, ant
that the work was done to last in every de
tail and all particulars.

Mitchell, daughter OF DIR. Thomas Mitchell,
was married here this evening to Col.
John p. Withers, one of our best-known

for years past has created a greater inter
est in this community. For days past
crowds of ladies, both married and single,
have been busily engaged in decorating
and adorning st. Andrews Episcopal
church for the occasion, and well did they
perform their work. Massive beds and
numerous pyramids of flowers of rare
beauty decked the chancel, over which
was suspended an immense marriage bell,
composed of flowers, the aesthetic ar
rangcment of which was reflected
in the brilliant light of myriads
OF tapers, tastefully arranged in the
chancel, and presented scene beautiful
and imposing. At Z o'clock the brida

TIM contest for the Speakership is wax
ng warm, and the partisans of the candi-
dates, il not the candidates themselves,
are becoming heated and over-eXcited.
BY some one, whom does not appear, the
question of section was raised against Mr..
Carlisle, but Mr.. Randall by prompt dis
Claimer, such rs the South has a right to
rest. The jump made by the At
lanta Constitution, which has all along
been strong advocate of Mr.. Carlisles
election, has attracted attention, but it is
too late 10 do Mr.. Randall any good. The
members from Georgia have long ago
been committed, most of them to Carlisle,
against whom there is arrayed the monop-
olists, spectators and ringsters of the
continent, who are bowling like dervishes,
fearing that the demand of the people for
a revision of the tariff will be
conceded by Congress if he is elected
Speaker, rs he certainly win be.
And this brings us 10 the statement OF
our respected contemporary, the Nashville
american, with whom it is our pleasure
generally to agree. Treating of Henry
Watterson's very finished speech last
night on revenue reform and its relation
to the state of parties, that paper says that
'there is no evidence yet which justities
the assumption that the South desires the
reopening of the tariff question at this
time" We differ with the American.
Not only those of the South, but the
people of the whole country demand that
it shall be reopened, and the present dis
graceful tumble called a tariff be re
yised and simplified so as to bring relief tc
the people and save the Union from the
further disgrace of fostering monopolies al
their expense, making rich men by impov'
erishing hundreds and thousands, an6
so unequalizing the burdens of life
Mr.. Watterson is right, and i
his words shall have weight e
.elp bring about the first, success essen
,ial TO tariff reform, by the election of MI
Carlisle to the speakership, he will hay

Or DIR. Stocker's diatribe against the
Jews the New York Herald says the grand
result of it all is that he has said great
many things against the Jews which, upon
the whole, are very honorable to that
people. he says they oppose the politics
OF the Emperor and OF Prince Bismarck.
That, from a court preachers standpoint,
is a dreadful oifense, no doubt; but ii
shows that the German Jews are ahead OF
1he other Germans in political perception.

ARTHUR

Tariff.

The serious question just now is what
will President Arthur recommend regard
ing reduction of revenues in his message
to Congress. 1t is claimed that he viii
insist that the legislatisn of last session has
not given the relief needed from over
taxation. But what il Mn. Randall should
be elected on the platform of letting the
tariff alone is the problem the Democrats
are trying to solve with regard to the an.
ticipated Recommendations of the admin
istration. Will majority of the Demo
cratic members do the improper thing al
the proper time and elect Speaker hos
tile TO the views of the President ON the
reduction of revenue? is question which
now enters into the canvass for Speaker.

secure for them the recognition theil

A DREADFUL DEED.
Boy Brutaliy Murdered by Old
Man and His Four Daughters

ALBUQUERQUE, November 2l.-0ne of
the foulest murders ever committed in this
Territory came to light to-day. The muir
dered person is boy named Candoloria.
The body was discovered buried in the
vineyard of one Jose Anzel Perca. 1t
seems that Candoloria and Perca had a
long and bitter feud, and the latter en-
ticed the former to his house and beat his
brains out with club, the four grown
daughters OF Perca assisting in the deed
The body was at first buried in the barn,
but was afterward taken up and inferred
in the vineyard. A little five-year-old son
OF Perca gave the murder away. All were
arrested, and are ROW in Jail. There are
fears of lynching on account of the great
excitement among the Mexican popula-
ton.

BosToN, November D. = The National
Home for Disabled Soldiers, organized un-
der the laws of the United States, and hav-
ing its usual place OF business at Hartford,
Conn, has brought suit in the United
States Circuit Court of this district against
Gov. Butler. The declaration alleges that
the defendant is indebted to the plaintiff
for $4,000, for money had and received in
1879, and further sum from January lst.
Defendant filed a plea in abatement,
stating that the plaintiff corporation is not
now, nor never has been, a citizen or resi-
dent of Connecticut; that it has no usual
place OF business in said Hartford or State
that the Circuit Court has no jurisdiction
over the said cause, and no power to en-
tertain and adjudicate upon the same, it
not being a controversy between citizens
of different States; and further, that the
defendant should not be held to answer
the plaintiffs suit and declaration. No
time was SET for hearing.
