A SENSATION.
AN UNKNOWN BODY DISCOVER
ED IN THE FRENCH BROAD.
Supposed to be the Man that was
Lynched by Negroes in Hender-
SON County.

A ripple of excitement was
created upon our streets yester-
day by rumor which was circu-
lgsSd early in the morning to the
Feet that the body of an un-
knoWn white man had been seen
aoatlng down that stream by a
couple ofe celored women, who
were fishing long the banks oi
the river. This was about nine
o'clock, and Chief of Police Z. N,
WaddeH was imsuesiately Fssi;
fed. In company with police Of
ficer Hampton, the Chief at once
went to the river, and instituted
search for the floating body,
but without success.
William LYDIA and Noah Wei
don, both colored men, also saw
the body, and stated that it was
floating face-up, and the arms had
the appearance of being tied
down to the trunk. It was in the
middle of the stream, about half
way between Smiths bridge and
the railroad bridge when they
saw it. They had no boat; the
water in the river was up and
running at the rate of seven miles
an hour, hence they made no at
tempt at a rescue, knowing that
it would prove futile. The body
was also seen by young white
man named Davis, and he cor
roborated the darkies' statement,
in all respects, save that the arms
and hands were sticking up out
of the water instead of having the
appearance of being tied down to
the body.
An hour or so later a party OF
men secured boat, and going
down the river, endeavored to
overtake and secure the body,
They worked laboriously for sew
eral hours, and finally came in
view of the floating body as ii
went over the shoals and went
into deep water, about five miles
north OF the city. The men re-
turned to the city, after seeing
that all hope of securing the body
was exhausted from this source
and Chief WaddeI Immediately
telegraphed to the authorities al
Alexanders, Hot Springs and
Marshall to keep sharp lookout
for, and secure the body, if il
drifted to either of those places
Up to the hour of going to press
last night no news had been re.
ceived from either of the places
and a searching party will be or
ganized by Chief Wadden this
morning to go in search of the
body, which is supposed to have
been caught in over-hangine
brushwood, or drifted upo1
one of the numerous sandsbar;
in the French Broad. Consider
able interest is manifested in thu
matter, and the recovery ant
identity of the body is matte,
of much moment to the legal au
thorities. The discovery vii
probably be made this morning

Every Issue of the Advance-HeraId,
Fully sustains the claims set up by
that journal as.strictly conscientious
in its utterances. As a specimen of
its 'conscientionsness"a "a fair specimen
ofnearly every thing it says, it stated
a day OF two since that Mr.. Pritchard
was presented to the State Republi>
can convention by a white man. AS
fact, Mr.. Pritchard was presented
by one Mr.. George T. Wassom, who.
though some whittier than the ordinary
African member of the A-H's party,
still glories in the fact that he is a
negro. Mr.. Pritehard was not only
presented by a negro, but the nomi-
nation was secured by negro and he
was nominated finally by conven-
ton composed very largely of i'm
pudent negroes.

LOLA'S DAUGHTER.
The Ethereal Madame Diss Debar and
Her Paramour.


NEW YORK, April 30th.-General and
Madame Diss Debar were witnesses in their
own behalf to-day in the conspiracy case
against them. General Diss Debar admit
ted that he had never been married to the
Madame, and that he had welded wife
and family in Philadelphia but he declared
that he had discharged all mis- obligations
to them and considered himself the Mad
ame's husband before God. He first
heard of her in 1859, when the old picture
dealer Lowenhertz with whose taking
off the madame's name has been associ-
ated). He told him that daughter of Lola
Montez was in this country. He afterwards
made her acquaintance, and she had lived
in his family till his wife became Jealous.
He had lived with the Madame since 1879.
He was at one time member of the Legis-
lature of West Virginia; and had held
other offices of importance. Witness de-
MED that he painted any of the spook
pictures.
Madame Diss Debar, when sworn, de-
clared herself to be the daughter of Lola
MonteZ and the late King Ludwig of Ba-
varia. She was sent to this country
when a child, and when six years
of age was put by old Lowenhertz in care
of the Solomon family, who abused her
and tried to kill her. Witness sketehed
her life in various parts of the country and
in numerous converts, and said her spirit
power first came to her when she was in
convent in Chicago. Her spirit pictures
were. she declared, genuine and what she
represented them to he-the work of spirit
hands. She did not ask Marsh for a cent,
and was very much astonished when he
gave her his house.
The Justice held her and her husband in
5000 bail each for the Grand Jury.

THE RAILROAD TAX CASES.
The Supreme Court Again Decides
Against the State.

WASHINGTON, April 30th.-The Supreme
| Court of the United States to-day rendered
an opinion in the cases of the People of
the State of California VS.. the Central Pa
cific, Southern Pacific, Northern and Cali
fornia Pacific Railroad Companies. These
cases are commonly known as the Califor-
MIA tax cases, and have excited interest not
only in California, but in financial circles
in the East. The suits were brought
by the State of California to recover
State and county taxes laid on the rail-
roads. The franchises and rolling stock of
the several companies are assessed bv the
State Board of Equalization, and do not
involve the assessments made by the
County Board, nor the assessments on
lands of the companies, the taxes on which
We're duly paid. The companies also ten
dered and paid go per cent. lin one case 50
per cent-) of the taxes sued for, without
prejudice to either side. AS to the remain
der of the defenses set up in the present
suits, they were much the sane as in sim
liar suits decided two years ago. They
were:
First-AEeged discrimination against
the company, contrary to the fourteenth
amendment of the Constitution, in disal-
lowing deduction for mortgages, which is
allowed TO all other citizens.
Second-That the assessments included
property which, by the State Constitution.
the Board of Equalization had no right
to assess, but which was assessable and
actually assessed by the County Board.
Th1rd-That the assessments in some of
the cases included franchises granted to
the company by Congress, such as that of
constructing railroads in the United States |
Territories, as well as in State. The |
Circuit Court founa these defenses trae in
point of fact, and the Supreme Court
without expressing any opinion on the |
first ground of the defense (based on the |
Fourteenth Amendment) : sustains the |
other grounds and atfirms the judgments of |
the Circuit Court.
The decision conforms to the former de-
cision OF the Court made two years ago in |
to similar taxes on some OF the
same roads, the only new point being the |
illegality of taxing franchises granted to
the company by Congress.
The judgments of the Circuit Court IN
all cases are affirmed. Justice Miller dis
sented
