THE LATE Pan-American Congress de.
clared there should be no more fighting, and
that, instead OF bloody wars and revolutions,
all differences either in or among American
nations should be settled with the pen. and
not by the sword. Luckily for the delegates
to that Congress from Paraguay, they did
not sign that declaration, for recent intelli;
gence from their country is to the effect that
a revolution has broken out there, in which
many people have been killed and wounded.
From the beginning of the world there have
been wars and revolutions, aud they will
continue uut!l the end thereof, irrespective
of declarations of congresses, Pan or other
wise, that ia, unless what is more stable than
the everlasting hills, human nature, shall
change.

Ing and prosperous section of the country.
OF course this could not be the case If the
labor of the South were deprived of Its lit
erty and wages and subj ected to all sorts of
outrages, as the northern republicans say it
is. Why then should all this activity and
growth be stopped, and all the prosperity
be destroyed is by the proposed attempt Of
Messrs. HoaE, Lodge, Reed, Chandler, and
the other leaders of the republican party, to
inaugurate commotion, disorder and blood
shed throughout the South, In the vain effort
to make southern communities subject to an

The Clayton Murder.

LOUISVILLE, May 2.-Mr. Jared NJ. Safer,
The ouly witness who is able to throw any
light on the mysterious murder of Hon.
John Ii. Clayton, ia on his way to Little
Rock. He saya: "The man who killed the
Hon. john NJ. Clayton was, am firmly
convinced, Thomas Hooper. who died 10 Los
Angeles. Gals, October 10 1889" Mr. Sa-
ter removed from Jacksonville to Los An
geles, and while there chance had led him
to EN- acquaintance with Hooper. Hooper
WAS poov old man, who drove team and
who was barely able to make living for
himself and wife. Misfortune came heavily
upon him, until cue day he was evicted for
nor payment of rent. Il was in this con
ditioa that Safer found Hooper and took
him to his home. According to the story
Hooper told Safer, he Hooper, was born in
Arkansas near P'ummeryiie, in Conway
county. Hooper's father owned coored
man who remained with the family after
his freedom had been granted, who worked
for an interest in the crops. One day the
negro man was found murdered, and
the suspicion aIighted on the Hooper family.
A mob was orgerfz sd to avenge the nogro's
death. Old man Hooper wes hanged and
the son barely escaped with his life. Hoop
or told Safer that he resolved to ayenge his
fathers murder, and the following fall he
killed two of the lynchers Mathews and
another man. whose name he could not re-
call. Clayton somehow kept out of
his reach for years, but Hooper
never despsired of soooer or later GET
ting 30 opportunity of aesassinating him.
After the news of the mysterious killing of
Clayton reached Sater's ears he says Hooper
came to him and confessed that he was the
author of the dead, and that he would
ather be hanged than to have a.!
lowed his fathers murderer to live.
Safer says that he told tie officials of the
affair, but they did not take hold of the
case because they thought the evidence was
insufficient This ia the story he will tel
the Arkansas Legislature.
