ANOTHER HORRIBLE MEMBER NEAR
XASHVILLE.-=On Tuesday night, , etween
the hours of eight and, nine &sloe: , three
horseman, wearing 'United States army over
coats dyed black, and each having a pair of
revolvers buckled around him, rent to the
house of Mr. James Byrom. keeper of the
third toll gate on the Lebanon pike, near a
place known as Scott's Hollow, and asked
forl''permission to enter and warm them
selves. To this Mr. Byrom readily assented.
As soon as they had got well into the room,
and had closed the door, the robbers pre
sented theirpistolsat his head and demanded
his money. Mr. Byrom was a brave man
and had no idea of being robbed without
making some resistance. He immediately
seized a chair, and, without waiting to be
attacked, commenced hitting right and left,
perhaps in the hope that a bold front would
deter his unwelcome visitors from further
Pressing their demand. All three atAance
tired at him, killing him almost instantly.
Upon the body were found three wounds,
one in the back of the head, the ball passing
out through the cheek, one in the breast,
and one in the bowels. Any of these was
sufficiently severe to prove fatal. Just'as
the last shot was fired, and while his wife
was entering the door, the unfortunate man
fell back in the midst of hie children and
expired. Mrs. Byrom, no less courageous
and heroic than her husband, immediately
attacked the murderers, who leveled their
pistols at her, cursed her, and thrust her out ;
of the house. She hastened at once to her
neighbors and spread.the alarm, but before
assistance could arrive, the men had gone.
Mr. Byroixi was aged abour thirty-five or
forty years, and leaves five interesting chil
dren. He has ever been known as a sober
and industrious man. The murder was
committed about a mile and a half from the
Hermitage, near where Mose Patterson met
his death in the summer of 1862.

Mr. Morrill (Me.), from the Comnaittee.on
the District of Columbia, reported the bill

Mr. Sumner (Mass.) hoped the bill would

manded it.
Mr. Davis (Ky.) called Mr. Sumner to
order, making the point of order that the
bill was not before the Senate for discussion.
Mr. Anthony (R. I.) reported from the
Committee on printing, a resolution for the
printing of 3,000 copies of the eulogy de-.
livered on the late Senator Collamer.
Passed.
Mr. Cresswell (Md.) called up the House
resolution providing for a recess, and moved
that the Senate recede from its amend
ments.
The Senate refused to recede, and a Com
mittee of Conference was agreed to.
Mr. Wilson (Ma'ss.) called up the Senate
bill to maintain the freedom of the inhabi
tants of the States lately in rebellion.
Mr. Sumner then addressed the Senate in
favor of-the bill.
