A REMARKABLE CRIME.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, April S.-There has
been found among the private papers of the
late DR.. Francis Foutenay the written con-
fession of n crime which occurred twenty
eight years ago, and of which DIR. Foatenay
was never suspected. Rev. A. NJ. Feltnor, a
rector Of the Episcopal church, disappeared
mysteriously in 1865, and diligent search by
his friends, aided by detectives, failed to fur
nish any clew to what had become of him.
His wife had just died, but beyond that no
cause for melancholy was known, and moth
ing could be learned to Indicate any motive
for going away so strangely. The document
in question is u confession by DIR. Foatenay
thai he murdered Fetner. The confession
goes into details. DIR. Foutenay was Mrs
Feltner's physician, and he had become
greatly Interested in the case because of
some peculiar features that appeared to his
professional zeal. When Mrs. Feltner died
he yielded 10 the temptation TO steal the body
for an autopsy He had removed it from the
grave, and was preparing TO refill it when he
received stunning blow from behind.
Wheeling round he found himself face TO
face with Feltner, the latter maddened by
the Dissertation of his wife's grave. The rec
tor again attacked him, and TO defend him
self, knowing that protests would be useless,
the doctor seized the shovel and struck his
assaiIant on the head hoping to stun him and
escape. The blow crushed the temple bone,
causing Instant death. The Mortified muir
derer placed the body in the empty coffin
and refiled the grave. Rain washed away
all trees of the work, and the strange disap
pearance was soon almost forgotten. DR..
Foutenay completed his autopsy with great
advantage to science. lie adopted his vic
TINS two children, both of whom are living.
The daughter is married to a state official.
The son is in the government service. DR..
Foutenay was II wealthy bachelor, and left
them his fortune.
Mrs. Feltner's body was found where the
, confession said it had been buried, in the
cellar, and reinforced beside that of her hus-
band

Tho Independent Press.

The independent press, if their own esti-
mate Of themselves be taken, are the only
safe guides for the people in public affairs.
Party journals, they profess to believe, have
outlived their usefulness, if they ever had
any, and the only champions OF right and
Justice, and PURE and constitutional govern
ment are the Independent papers. They
profess to believe further that all knowl-
EDGE and wisdom are centered in themselves
No Others, particularly rural party Journals
have any knowledge of the constitution, the
principles Of government, the duties OF
Senators and Representatives, or are cap
able of discussing fairly and intelligently
any public question of Importance. What
nonsense Independent journals are gen
erally weather-cocks. They are not party
Journals because they are catering TO the
public taste for business favors. They have
no policy, except the policy of gain; no fixed
principles, and are unsafe guardians OF the
public veal. Business success being their
only object, they are SO managed as best to
promote it. They fall IL with any popular
clamor or support any popular delusion, in
order to keep in the swim. For fear of
financial loss, they abstain from combating
error that for the time is popular. They
are therefore unsafe as guides for the peo-
pie, and generally are venal and purchas-
able. The Independent press, is the danger
Gus press. The party journal news to the
line. of its party and principles, regardless
of financial interests. 1t, in reality, is the
independent press, not the weathercocks
that set sails for popular favor and are con-
tinually shifting FROM side to side.

On Tuesday afternoon a cyclone and n
tornado passed through parts of Kansas,
Iowa, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Illinois,
Texas and Michigan for n distance OF over
1000 miles in length and of an irregular
width, causing great loss of life and destruc.
ton of property cloudburst followed,
which, in many places washed the soil of,
and what was left of the crops was cut off by
hail. Farm houses, barns, fencing, bridges.
&C., were completely demolished. Thous,
ands of window lights were shattered and
property that was not destroyed by wind was
spoiled by the rain. Robinsonville, Miss,
on Wednesday, was struck by cyclone and
entirely destroyed. Seventeen persons were
killed, one hundred wounded and over $780,,
600 in property destroyed. The details OF
the recent storm in Missouri are horrible,
over 81 persons were killed and the list oil
wounded runs into the hundreds, while the
loss to property is almost incalculabe.
Dispatches from 81. Paul, Fargo aud Other
places ia the Northwest on Thursday night
state that the mercury fell from IL to above
zero during the day; that heavy snow had
prevailed the night before, and that biz
card was then prevailing, which caused great
suffering TO people and stock.

eter fell ut Merrill, Michigan, on Friday

over Detroit. doing considerable damage to
property.
A thunder storm, accompanied by hail,

Party Service Test of Devotion to
Principle.

Every men who calls himself a Demo-
crat is not Democrat any more than every
msn who calls himself christian is a
christian. A man is known by his work
rather than by his profession. Party SER
vice is test of devotion to principle, and the
longer the service the greater the evidence
of honest conviction. Party service is
acquiesce in the will of the majority, talk
ing and voting for the regular nominees,
and spreading and defending party princi-
plies. In making appointments to Office,
after capa. ity and honesty arc established
the test of party service should BIZ applied,
if the present Administration proposes to
fill public positions with persons devoted
to the principles of Democracy. Parsicu-
Iarly is this true Of all places that give tone
and direction to the policy of the Admin
istration.

Farnham Post May Get out.

At n meeting of the Noah l.. Earnham
Post, No. 45S, q. A. R., held last night in
the rooms Of the post at Broadway and Forty
ninth street. was made public a letter from
the State Department Commander, criticising
the post for its vigorous resolutions against
the present promiscuous pension system.
The post by an almost unanimous vote de-
cided to send the following letter in reply to
the COMMANDERS:
Mr.. P. J. O'Connor, ASS. Adj. Gen. N. Y.
G. A. R., Albany.
Sir: am in receipt of your communica-
ton of the 9TH instant, in which you say that
you are directed by the Commander to inform
me that and my post are in contempt OF the
by laws of the order, and that it we do not
rescind the resolution passed by us on the 9Th
of March the Commander will be compelled
10 proceed against us, &c.
In reply | have the honor to inform you that
it is the opinion of this post that if it is the
desire of the G.. A. r. to pay pensions to
people who have not incurred their disabili-
ties in the service of the country and to those
who do not need them, then this post does moi
desire to remain in the Grand Army Of the
Republic.
Ii no reply is received from you before
mex. Wednesday morning we shall conclude
that our suspicious are correct and declare
our connection with the order ended under
the provisions of Section 2, Article 1, Chap
ter of the rules and regulations of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Yours truly.
JOHN J. FINN.
Commander Noah l.. Farnham Post, 45S.
The opinion was expressed that some sort
of an apology would be made.
The resolutions adopted by the post in
March say that the .'only veterans entitled to
pensions are those who, by wounds or disa
bilities incurred in the service oftheir country,
are prevented from earning a living in their
respective callings. as they might have done
had such wounds or disabilities not been in
CURED, and whose circumstances are such AS
to Justify them in calling on the country for
aid or support, aud declare that, AS much
real patriotism may be shown by refraining 10
time OF peace from inficting unnecessary bur-
dens on The country AS by coming TO her de-
fanoa Ia time NJ war =
