A DlabOlical Deed.

CHATTANOOGA, December 27.-A few
days ago some rniscreant placed an OBJ
struction across the Queen and Crescent
tracks, near Purvis, Mississippi. The
passenger train dashed into it, and was
ditched. The engineer was killed, sew.
eral cars were wrecked, and number OF
passengers were injured. The railroad
detectives succeeded in tracing the deed
to merchant PurYis.
It was ascertained that his cattle had
been killed by the train.
He had appealed for damages. and
failing to receive it was embittered
against the road and took this means of
wreaking revenge. His son assisted
him. The populece were driven to fury
over his diabolical deed and to day at
daybreak took him from Jail aud hanged
him. The wretch confessed the deed
before he was hanged and exculpated his
son. His name has not been learned.

We take pleasure in endorsing the
article of the Greenville News, recon.
mending Hon. D. +. Bradley for the po.
sition Of Collector Of Internal Revenue
for South Carolina. Col. Bradley is q
thorough Democrat, and has done valua.
BILE service for the party, and for his
State. He i. sn upright, reliable, worthy
gentlemen, of fine business qualifications
and ability. In our opinion, he is the
very man for the position named, and il
appointed would discharge the duties OF
the Office acceptably to the government
and with credit to himself. He has the
confidence and respect Of the people OF
the State, and his influence would 60
very far to secure obedience to the Reve'
nue. laws throughout the District. In
the enforcement Of these laws Re would
have the frmness and judgment neces'
sary to properly execute them, and at the
same time would employ sufficient tact
to enforce them considerately and prop.
erly, 80 that the prejudice which has been
aroused by the bad men who have held
these positions would gradually disappear
We hope Col. Bradley will receive the
appointment.

they do and for what they leave undone.
We do not agree with our contemporary
in declaring the present Legislature
utterly bad. There are many things
which VIC would like to see otherwise in

own way altogether. Even the Green

not much less than nine tenths of the
crimes of violence now prevailing among

too, Is not very prevalent vice among
the negroes, and hence think that the
