An Unpopular Editor.

BEARDsTowN, ILL, June 9.-For some
time past Harry Reayis, nephew of the
"Capital Mover" of that name in St.
Louis, has been the junior partner of the
Enterprise, newspaper that arraigued
many of the best citizens. Last Sunday
Reavis was pounced uponat the wharf bv
one of the roughs whom he had yenti.
lated in an illustrated article. The
rough chased the editor up
town Into the Park House entrance. As
the fellow followed him in Reayis
jumped out and knocked him down,
kicking him about the face and head for
which he was roundy denounced Inv
many citizens. The next appearance Of
the young editor was with loaded cane.
but the excitement grew so rapidly that
to-day Reavis turned bis paper over to G.
n. Hoff and left for the far west.

Deceased entered the Army May IS, 1867,
aud performed the various duties of Non

soldierly manner almost continuously from
that time to the date of his demise. De-
ceased was appointed Sergt. Maj July 1st,

try.
1t would not be amiss to state that he
was Master Mason in good standing, of
Rock City Lodge, No. L. of Nashville,
Tenn, who cherish his memory and de-
plore his loss.
AS token Of respect for the deceased
we are pleased to submit the following res
olutions
Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty
God in His infinite wisdom, in dealing
with the affairs of mankind, to remove
from our midst much beloved and re-
spected comrade and friend.
And, whereas it has pleased The Almigh-
ty God in His merciful dealings with the
children of men, to take to Himself the
kind and loving husband;
Therefore be it resolved, that while sub
mitting to the mandate that summoned him
from our midst, We deeply deplore our loss.
aud tender to his loving wife the sympathy
that springs from hearts that knew the
worth Of the one she has lost
Resolved that the Service and Regiment
have lost model soldier; obedient and re-
spectful; courageous and true; ever ready
at the call Of duty.
Exactness and justice we're qualities he
possessed in an eminent degree, and all
who knew him regret his demise; while to
his friends and associates it was blow in
deed. AS counsellor and friend he was ev-
er ready to give advice, and at the service
of those who sought his friendship.
Be it further resolved that a copy OF
these resolutions be furnished bis widow
and relatives. and to one paper in the city

Dies Suddenly at Nashville Last
Night.
NASHVILLE. Feb. 29.-Ex- Treasurer
Polk died suddenly at half past 7 to-
night lie was talking to his family,
lying o. Lis bed, and appeared to be
il tie same health he has had for
several weeks past. It is hardly
known when he died.
His son, James X. Polk, saw his
arm drop, went to him and found
be was dead.
Several doctors pronounced it
heart disease.
A LATER DISPATCH.
NASHVILLE, Feb. 29.-The news of
Treasurer Polk's sudden death crea-
ted great excitement in the city. A
rumor that he had committed suicide
was put to naught by the statements
Of the physicians, who assert positive
ly that it was heart disease. He has
been ailinG for some time and was
quite i'll tie dny his case was to be
heard by the Supreme Court, and has
grown weaker ever since. The man
has been complete physical wreck
since his defalcation first became
known, and bis confinement in the
Davidson county jlil wrecked what
little strength he had remaining. He
suffered untold miseries from rheu-
matism, and it may yet develop that
he had rheumatism of the heart.
While his family and friends have
the sympathies of all, it is thought
that it was a wise dispensation of
Providence to thus dispose of the
man. His disgrace was ineffaceable,
and his punishment. both mental
and physical, has been as severe al
ready as twenty years Imprisonment
would make it.
With all his faults, Marsh 7. Polk
had many noble traits, and now that
he has gone, he may not be judged
50 harshly, and those to whom be
owes his downfall and ruin, may per-
haps receive some of the censare
which has been heaped upon him.
