We loam from u private letter received here
yesterday, that a baud of rullliins, firmed with
sticks and clubs, went Into n colored church at
Liltcrty Hall, Hawkins county, Kant Tennessee,
last Sunday, flourished their sbilnllalis above
their heads, made grimaces, and laughed Im
moderately at the colored preacher In the midst
of his devotions, and otherwise disturbed the
Ijieacc and dignity of the coiifirciration. When
the services bud been concluded and the audi
ence dismissed, and the preacher, who had re
mained behind, was about to leave the church,
he was seized and taken into the woods, robbed
of all his money, stripped and whipped, and the
flesh f his arms and back torn with an iron
Shook. Alter perpetrating ineso norrinie tor

A (irl Iteaten to Heath In SI. IaiiiIk.
On Sunduj' mornlne; last, in St. Louis, a sou
tIof Mrs. Margaret Uuiimun called at the Coro
ner 8 oniee, nnu stated mat a colored girl had
died at his mother's house of diarrlura and
rumps. The Coroner examined the body, and
mtcud of finding any evidences of these physi-
ai disorders, discovered upon U p. flu-two cuts.
bruises, and contusions ! This discovery put a
new coloring upon the affair. Mrs. Hauman, a
woman of forbidding aspect, was taken in cus
tody anflield for trial.
At tho Coroner s investigation .Mary urcen
testified:
I was washing for Mrs. Banman week before last:
In the afternoon I was taking a cup of entree In here
(alluding to the room In which the iii'iuest wag being
held); while here Mrs. Jtuuman's little girl came
in and said. "Mo. this clrl is inakliiLr a face at me."
Mrs. Jin ii in an jumped right up from the table,
struck the (;lrl with her list, and afterward took a
MtcK that whs standing in tnc comer, and beat, lae
girl unmercifully over the head, making a gush ill
her head there was a gash in her head before Mrs.
Jtauman telling her at the same time, " you,
nigger, I will kill all you niggers! All the white peo
ple say that I am too good to the girl. ' l told her
not te lilt the girl with a stick, but to take a switch
to whip her with. I told her she would cripple the
girl In tMs way ; Mrs. ltaumaii said she could not
help it she was obliged to whip her; that she had
given her money to go to the store, and that the girl
had spent the money for bread ami had eaten it. It
is no wonder that the girl did so, because she was
half-Starved to death. During the dav, when I was
here, Mrs. Batimiin never cave this irlrl a niece of
breafl, and the same day when I cams liere washing
Airs, isaumans nttie gin leu down on tne board
while the colored girl was getting some wood out
side of the yard. Mrs. Hituman, as soon as she saw
her little girl falling, Jumped at the colored girl and
struck her with a stick all over the head and body
shamefully. 1 believe this Is the very stick (an oak
stick about two and a half feet long and an Inch
thick: shown witness which she used In beating the
girl. One day Mrs. Bauman went to a picnic ; when
she came back she beat the girl for something, I
dont know what; the next day when I came I saw
the girl all Bwelled aud pulled up, and full of blood ;
1 HHKeu uer who ocai. iter uiai way. anu sne said tne
watchman's girl had beaten her: she also told me
afterwards that Mrs. ISaumau had done It. and that
(Mrs. Bauman hud told her if anybody should ask
tier sne siiouiu say mat tne watchman s girl had
done It.
An Entire Family Murdered.
. A few days since a party, a mile above Prario
du Chicn, Wisconsin, drew ashore with a seine a
ouple of trv.nks, some bcddmr. and other
(household goods, which hare been recognized as
the property 'Of Mrs. Ilagcrty, and since that
itime her body ana those ot two ot her children
Siave been found in the river below that place.
Afhe discovery, of the goods and the bodies has
I removed the mystery in which her disappearance
was shrouded, ana it has been discovered that
the family were removed from Prairie du Chleu
a few months since by one Thompson, who
lived a short distance back from McGregor, and
friends of 4he family had never heard of her
until the discoveries of the past few days were
made. Suspicions of foul play ou the part of
the teamster led to his capture on Sunday before
last, and the array of circumstances points to
him as the probable villain who, to possess him
self of the few hundred dollars belonging to the
lady, iu cold blood murdered the family, and
thrust their bodies under the ice.
Subsequent accounts show that the suspected
murderer of Mrs. Ilagcrty and three children,
at McGreiror. Iowa, has been lodired in tho lu-
i bnque county jail.
f The McGregor ATews, In connecton with this
niatter,eays: "Mrs. JJagerty lived near Monona,
with her three children two girls and a boy.
Last November a man near Monona took the
family in a Bleigh to Prairie du Chien, or at
least started to do so, since when nothing hag
ever been heard of them (it Is said that the
woman had $800 in cash) and that there was a
track on the ice to Bald lake, and that blood was
seen on the ice and snow last wiuter, etc. etc.
These are the rumors; whether they be true
or not we eannot tell, but there seems to be bet
little doubt tfiat there has been foul play."

SPORTING NEWS.
A Western Epidemic of Prize FlKhl-A Lively
Alill on the Public Htreet of Cincinnati -Oc-fent
of the Presn MUllnnt.
Under the head of "Indecent Sporting News"
a New York journal gives tills spicy account of
a lively mill:
Mr. Kichnrd Smith, managing editor of the
Cincinnati Oatette, engaged on Monday last in
nn exlt nipore rough and tumble fight with Mr.
Thomas Alcibiudcs Nesmlth, proprietor and
manager of a city horse railroad line, known as
"Koute No. 9," who was aggrieved by an nrticlo
reflecting upon him in that capacity, published
in the Gazette. The parties met on Walnut
street shortly after noon, when the following
scene, described by the Cincinnati Commercial,
took place:
"Mr. Smith, I want to know whether you
wrote that article about mc in last Friday's
Oazi tle t"
Mr. Smith "Yes, sir; it was I who wrote it. "
Mr. Nesmith "Well; Mr. Smith, what do you
propose to do about it r"
Mr. Smith "I don't know that I propose to
do anything about it, sir."
Ms.'Nesuiith "Well, Mr. Smith, I'll tell you
what I do propose to do about it; I propose to
give you a d d good licking for it, sir. And
with this plain statement of his intentions, Mr.
Nesmith, at ten minutes to 1 o'clock, Cincinnati
time, uncoiled a horsewhip with a short, hard,
heavy handle, nnd a long, limp, leathern lash,
which he took from one ot his pockets, and pro
ceeded to npplv it with considerable vigor to Mr.
Smith's shoulders, holding him firmly by the
lapel of his coat the while. Mr. Smith con
ceived the idea of scaring his assailant, lie
made a great show of fumbling about his pistol
pocket behind, as if for a weapon, but did not
accomplifh his object, and made for Mr.
Nesmith with his fist. But old Nes. having had
a little experience in matters pugilistic, threw
up his left, nnd sent his right bunch of fives
straight into Mr. Smith's breast.
Quito a large crowd had gathered around the
parties by this time, and great excitement pre
vailed. But nobody thought of stopping tho
fight just then. At last Mr. Smith mada a rush
at liis enemy and they clenched. After wrest
ling together for several seconds Nesmith threw
his man to the pavement, and fell on him very
heavily. Several gentlemen then pulled Nes
mith off. and assisted. Mr. Smith to his feet. The
former, having accomplished his purpose, walked
leisurely down the street, and the latter was
taken into an ofllce hard by, where his clothes
were brushed and his face" and hands washed.
In a few minutes he was presentable again, and
walked to the Gazette office by the shortest and
most direct route. He appeared to harbor no
desire to hunt Nesmith uj for an explanation of
his strange conduct. Mr. Smiths sad mis
take was in losing time in feeling- for
au absent pistol, lie lost at this moment the
golden opportunity of removing the remainder
of the skin.from Nesmlth'snose, and vindicating
the liberty of the press.
From the Cincinnati Inquirer, June 15.
Mr. Richard Smith, in his set-to with Mr. Nes
roith, committed a flagrant breach of the rules of
civilized warfare in biting the ear of his oppo
nent. Much allowance may be made for what Is
done in the heat of passion aud excitement, but
the cool nd foe-defying self-possession with
which Richard "squared off" at Nesmith, pre
paratory to the final "closing in," denies him
the right of any -such pica iu mitigation, and
forces us reluctantly to the conclusion that
the bite was deliberate and premeditated, and
lacked but the single element of time to
'have converted It into a savage and malicious
"chaw." we regret this exceedingly, tho more
especially as it cannot but cast a dark shadew
on the fair fame of Mr. Smith's illustrious
countryman and fallow-pugilist, Mr. McCooie,
who is to-day to contend for the championship
of tlie manly art in St. Louis. There Is, too,
another and more severe aspect of the case,
which we would fain overlook, but cannot. Mr.
Smith is a member of the church in high stand-
iiiK it uttuuun, iu l.tcL. jiu iruieB iniiiBcii on
being of the church militant, but Mr. Nesmlth's
maimed and bleeding car proclaims him of th
church masticant if we may coin a word for so
sad a purpose. To defend oneself when at
tacked is iu perfect harmony with the teachings
of the Christian religion, and, had Deacon
Smith done no more than that, we ehould not
feel compelled to use the pen of reproof to-day.
But we submit that biting not to say "chaw
ing" a man's ear nearly off is neither meek nor
lowly, nor warranted by that apostolic sanction
which a church dcauon should aim to secure (or
nil his worldly deeds.
II I LDERBR AN D.
The MixNoiirl lluchwhackcr.
A day. or two since we gave the particulars of
an attempt by seventeen men to capture tfcls
notorious Missouri desperado, which was tot
only ineffectual, but sadly fatal to a number of
the assailing party. The following incident is
just given publicity:
At the close of the war he went to Texas, and
rctpnied to St. FrancoU couuty about a year
ngo in poor circumstances. He gave out that
he wanted to settle up his mother's estate, front
which he expected some i3tK) or $400. Poverty
drove him to engage in hard work. He chopped
cord wood for a time at Rinh Tower Bend, some
thirty miles below St. Louis. One day he weut
to lie Soto, and a friend who was with him
asked Colonel Bill Fletcher If he would like to
see Hilderbrand. The Colonel replied that he
would shoot him at sight. Hilderbrand then
tapped Fletcher on the shoulder, and said he
was the man. Fletcher, it is said, forgot his
brave words, and proinisod te let Hilderbrand
alone, if the hitter would do the same bv him.
The following; Incident is related: Sinee tho
row Hilderbraud was shot through the leg by
Jack Smith, and his wotuidB were dressed by a
woman who afterwards married a man who
squandered all her means. He then left his wife
and lived with her negro servaut in Arkansas.
Hilderbrand, stung with resentment at the way
in which the woman who attended -to him while
sick was treated, went with a few men, and,
tying the man and negress together, flung them
into the river. For this act Hilderbrand was
tried and sentenced to be hung. Before the time
of execution, two hundred men, clothed iu
Federal uniform, went to the juU and demanded
that the prisoner be given to them. Tho jailor
supposed the object was to lynch him, instead of
which thy put him on a horse and he made his
escape, llilderbrand is described as of tall,
slender form, sharp features, grey eyes, and red
hair. He has a feminine voice, steps as lightly
a an Indian, and can clear a seven-rail fence
with the agility of a deer. Like Scott's "Kob
Roy McGregor, he possesses boldness, sagacity,
and prudence, qualities highly necessary in war,
whh-h become vices when misdirected. Ills
father was a farmer in rather hud repute, and
his mother died of grief after the massacre of
bur fondly.
OUR PERT,
A Nennlble Comment by a London Jonrnnl.
The following extract from the London Timet
is of unusual Interest to "We Americans":
Apparently the Americans are never tired of
"looking into their affairs." We ourselves have
accounts of a very similar character to keep,
hut we put them out of sight, if not out of mind.
Perhaps not one Englishman out of fifty can
say within ten millions or so what is the amount
of our national debt, whether it is rising or fall
ing; indeed we hardly know how the information
is to be acquired except from the statements
annually made by tho Chancellor of the Ex
chequer. But the Americans won't keep their
skeleton in tho cupboard. They take it out
on the first of every month aud put the
bones together, and count the joints, and
go through tho whole articulation with extra
ordinary precision aud relish. A dozen times a
year, at the very least, our own telegrams report
the exact dimensions, weight, and tendency of
the American debt as just certified by authority,
with its increase or decrease, as tho case may
be, since the last stock-taking a week or two
before. Sometimes the figures seem to go up,
sometimes down; but the)' are displayed to the
whole nation in black and while, and with an
official certificate of accuracy. Tho meaning of
all this is that the Americans do not .look upon
their debt as we look on ours. They are deter
mined not to regard it as a permanent burden.
We, having learned patience under our load,
are content to provide the interest annually
required, and leave the principat to take care
of itself. In point of fact, some o our
most liberal statesmen have been distinctly
opposed to any reduction of the debt when op
portunities were offered. Mr. Cobdcn, for in
stance, maintained that it would lie far better
to reduce taxation, or simply revenue, than to
bring the amount of debt down by a million or
two; and the opposite school, represented by
Mr. Gladstone, Pan hardly be said to have pre
vailed to much purpose in giving effect to their
views. But Americans of all schools appear to
concur in a doctrine exactly the contrary. How
ever much they may differ on other questions
of financial policy, they are all one in
assuming that the public debt cannot be left as
it is. It must be gradually reduced and ulti
mately extinguished. The citizens of the Union
are not going to carry this clog about tbeiri for
ever. OMTUAKY.
Lord Stanley of Alderley.
The death of Lord Stanley of Alderley, a
British statesman of considerable eminence, is
announced by cable telegram. Edward John
Stanley, second Baron of the name, was born in
18(12, at Alderley, in tho county of Chester, being
descended from one of the cadet branches of the
great house of Stanley, of which the Earl of
Derby is tho distinguished head. After having
graduated at the University of Oxford, Lord
Stanley entered the House of Commons In 1831,
as member for the couuty of his birth. He acted
with the Whig party, and became Secretary
of the Colonies, and afterward of the Home
Department, under Lord Grey's administration.
Upon the formation of Lord Melbourne's Cabi
net, Lord Stanley became Secretary of the
Treasury; nnd afterward, when Lord John
RuescII becama Premier, Lord Stanley was
Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
By the influence of Lord John Russell he was
elevated to tlie peerage under the title of Baron
Eddisbury; but in 1850 he succeeded to the
hereditary peerage of Alderley by the demise of
his father, the first Baron. In 1853 the cele
brated coalition Ministry was formed, with Lord
Aberdeen and Lord John Russell us the lead
ing spirits; and under this Ministry Lord Stan
ley accepted the ofllce of Vice-President of the
Board of Trade, to which lie sulsjquontly added
the duties of I'aymaster-Ocncral of the'Forces.
These offices he retained until the fall of tho
Aberdeen Ministry, and the assumption by Lord
Pahnerston of the ofllce of Premier in 1855. In
this Cabinet he held tho Vice-Presidency of the
Board of Trade only, but became also a member
of the Privy Council. The advent of Lord
Derby to power relieved Lord Stanley of the
cares of ofllce, and he has not figured very con
spicuously in politics since, although his
speeches in the House of Lords always com
manded attention. Lord Stanley married in 18SW
a daughter of Viscount Dillon, by whom he had
eight children; the eldest, Henry, was formerly
Secretary of Legation at Athens. Baron Stan
lev, of Alderley, was in the sixty-seventh year
of his age at the time of his death.
STRUCK DEAD.
Fatal Result of a Prlze-FIlit.
A terrible affair happened on the banks of
Cayuga Lake, New York, on Saturday. Two
men named Donnelly and McGulre had some
dispute with regard to their physical strength.
Donnelly, who is a large, heavily built man, of
no particular pugilistic skill, had frequently
boasted that he ould lick McGulre, who wasfa
Btout, wiry man. weighing some thirty pounds
less than Donnelly. McGulre had a local repu
tation as a boxer. Each man had a crowd of
friends, who angrily canvassed the strength of
their favorites, and did everything in their
power to brine about a fiirht. At. 1 nut lliA npA.
iiminaries wee arranged, and small sums of
money were Btekcd upon the result. Tho fight
took place on Saturday afternoon, at Ogden's
uuca, on tuc west siue or cayuga Lane. Several
hundred persons were present. Seconds, referee,
and an umpire were chosen, and the fight began.
The first round was a long aud bloody one,
but Donnelly was finally sent to grass. In the
second round McGulre gave Donnelly a terrific
upper cut, aud Donnelly returned it by knock
ing McGuirc into his corner. Iu the third round
Donnelly forced the fighting. McGnire sprang
away from him, but was finally knocked through
the ropes. The fourth round opened with signs
of fatigue on the part of McGulre. Donnelly
punished him severely. The fifth round opened
with tho clohlsg of one of Donnelly's eyes.
McGuire closed in with him and threw him
heavily. The nlxth, seventh, and eighth rounds
were marked by Bimilar results. At the be
ginning of the im nth round Donnelly, who had
been considerably blown, apneared to cutc.li his
3 second wind. After some fibbinir he struck
McGulre a powerful blow ou the left temple.
McGuire dropped to the ground like a bar of
lead, gasped twiec and died. Donnelly ga.cd
At the corpse with bloody eyes and cried, "Mv

His friends urged him to fly. Au alarm was

S fciul Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Wu.KKsHAKRE, Ta., June 17 About seven
hundred miners attended the meeting at Hyde
Park yesterday. The question of resumption
was discussed at great length, and the miners,
by almost a unanimous vote, decided to stay out
until they got the basis rate, if it took them ten
years to accomplish it.
At a meeting of all the Lti.ernc county dele
gates, held at Tittstown on Tuesday, It was voted
that nil the miners who can get the basis will go
to work at once, and that those who cannot get
the basis must stay out until they do. A resolu
tion was adopted, providing that wherever work
is resumed, three men shall bo put in each
chnmber instead of two, so that the men out ou
suspension may have partial work, or enough to
support them for the time being.
Work commciccd this morning at the works
of Messrs. Swoycr & Hillmau.
At the mines of Messrs. Harvey, near Ply
mouth, tho men turned out yesterday to go to
work, but they had no sooner entered the mines
than they left again in a body. They were
asked to resume work at the old rate. They
w ere under the impression that they would be
allowed the basis, and upon ascertaining the
mistake, threw down their tools.

Despatch to The Evening Telegraph,
Nakhvii.le, Tenn., June 17. It is ascertained
from oftlelal sonrccs that there is little or no
probability of tho State being able to moot tho
July interest on its bonds, and that tho different
railroads cannot pay the interest on the large
amount of bonds loaned them, which will leave
Controller Blackburn without any resource save
that of ruinous borrowing.
The amount of claims against the State on the
first of July will be about $1,100,000. It is
thought that the outstanding claims can be
cleared up by the 1st of September, inasmuch
as the taxes will be ucarly all paid by that time.

Thursday, June 17. 1869. I
The slight degree of Improvement In trade during
the current week hits stimulated somewhat the de
mand for loans, but iu the present condition of the
money sources no pressure exists. We notice no
tendency to contraction on tho part of our banks,
save in confining their discounting transactions to
their regular depositors; but yesterday and to-day
good paper has been taken up from outside makers
when endorsed by well-known signatures. This is
certainly no Indication of weakness or fear of ap
proaching stringency. In this respect, however, our
market is in favorable contrast with most others on
the seaboard, where currency Is scarce and tho rates
severe. The cause may probably be found in tho
absence of the speculative spirit which characterizes
other cities. Call loans are easily made at ftto per
cent., the former on pledge of Governments, and
discounts range from 6 to 8 per cent., according to
credit.
In Government bonds there Is a slight upward
movement, without much activity. Gold opened at
18S..V, but is a little weak ut the second board, the
closing quotation being liv.
There was a moderate degree of activity In the

INSANE.
Here is one of the recorded instauces of where
an unsuccessful olllee-huntcr has become insane.
It is told by an Albany (N. Y.) paper:
"Among the numerous applicants for position
in the post ollicc was a German named Charles
Saulver, a resident of the First ward, and for
foiue time past in the employ of Lyman J. Lloyd.
He is a man of family, uud always regarded lis a
good citlcn. It seems that he had become so
thoroughly impressed with the belief that his
application would bo granted that disappoint
ment rendered him insane. The first intimation
his wife had of a change in his mental condition
was when he told her to 'wake him up early in
the morning as he had to go to tho post oflice to
carry letters.' After that he would not converse
with any person, not even with his wife, and re
mained perfectly urate. He procured his gun,
went to his bedroom and barricaded the do tr,
so as to prevent any one from entering. Thorc
he remained for several hours, when lie finally
fell asleep from sheer exhaustion. Then it was
that his wife procured tho assistance of a few
neighbors, who succeeded in effecting an en
trance to the room without being heard by its,
occupant, who was then secured. Physicians
were summoned, who pronounced Saulver to be
laboring under an aberration of mind, and upon
their certificates the unfortunate disappointed
oflice-eeeker was removed to the County Insane.
