1.1 the debate ia the Senate on

Democraiic Senators all made volu
ble protestations that there is no
wish, purpose, ur desire on tbe pan
of their party ia that section to

Certainly not, ttey only throw out

Toere is no eaeier way to preserve

Two negroes uave been sentenced
in Norti Carolina to six years im
prisonment in the penitentary for tbe
alleged offense of trj ing to di-uade
another negro from voting the Demo
cratic ticket. This is a wholesome
example. Now let us bave the 6ame

were the black ones.
Me. Bisbee, tbe Republican elect
ed in the second Congressional dis
trict of Florida has been squarely
counted out by tbe Democratic can
vassers. Tbe object of this fraud is
to give tbe Democrats a majority of
States in the next House in case tbe
election of tbe next President should
be thrown into that body. This
theft of Florida gives the Democracy
a majority of tbe representatives of
nineteen States and leaves tbe Repub
licans eighteen, with California yet
to elect Should we carry this State,
of which there is little doubt, tbe
vote by States will be tied, and to
accomplish this result was the object
of this last fraud in Florida.
In his speech against Blaine's
resolution to inquire into the frauds
perpetrated at tbe late election, Sena
tor Wallace said the country was
sick and tired of investigations.
When the Glover and Totter and
other committees were raking the
country with a fine tooth-comb, in
their vain search for Republican
frauds, Mr. Wallace was one of tbe
most complacent lookers on, but now
that tbe tables are turned be sudden
ly discovers that the country wants
no more investigation. Chasing the
tiger is most capital sport, said an
old hunter, but when the tiger chafes
yon, the fun is not bo exbilerating.
On Tuesday of last week (tbe Ittb)
gold Bold at par for the first time for
sixteen and a half years. On the 13th
of June, 18C2, cold first sold at a
premium over greenbacks, and on
Tuesday last, for the first time since,
it was exchanged at par for green
backs. When gold first passed out
of circulation, its value commenced
increasing, until twenty-five months
after, it was at a premium of 2S5.
There were plenty of men at that
time who thought it would never fall
below that poinc, that greenbacks
wonld continue to fali nntil a hat
full would not buy a dinner, and that
the Republic was doomed.
Then the greenback dollar was
worth only thirty-five cents and tbe
contest was a tremendous one, be
tween those who had faith in the
Government and those who had not,
or to put it more plainly, between tbe
Union men and copperheads, tbe lat
ter aiding and abetting tbe rebels 'n
the field, by frantic efforts to utterly
destroy the credit of tbe greenback.
Id truth tbe history of tbe rebellion,
its successes and repulses, is written
ia tbe changing gold quotations of
those dreadful years. Since the close
of tbe war tbe financial legislation cf
the country has been a continuous
ctrnggle on tbe part of tbe Republi
cans to sustain, and of tbe Democrats
to overthrow and destroy tbe Na
tional paper currency, until after
years of constant nursing, a day was
aet on which the Government would
make good its promises to redeem its
paper in gold. Tbe attempt to delay,
thwart and repeal the act providing
for resumption or the first day of
Janaary, 1819, are too fresh in the
minds cf the people to require present
comment Suffice it to say, that the
Republican party has made good all
lis promises, that to it alone belongs
the credit of tbe country's financial
success, and that two weeks before
the allotted time, resumption las oc
curred, and that every greenback
dollar is "as good as gold." It is
not likely that any premium will soon
gala be paid for gold, bnt tbere is a
atrang "probability - that greenbacks
will ere long command a premium.

WHAT an lnftmal set cf scoundrel-
tbe Democrats cf the Tsreotit lh dis
trict in this S:ate must be, acord.
iog to the allegations cf thtir own
candidate "Andy Curia'n." In his
notice of cottest which he served on
Mr. Vocura, bis successful Iipa!
licn competitor, he alleges tbe most
astounding frauds as the cause of bis
defeat Now when it ia remembered
ttbt all tbe canaries in the district
except.' Unbn are Diimcraii.i, and
that in tbe Leaviest Docitcratic
eoo&tiep, whtre his party friends
controlled all the electija biards, his
Ijsb was toe largest, lie infersuco is
trres'fltib'e, that if frvidi were per
petrated, tha Democrats were the
guilty parties. "It is a vile bird
says the old adage that bcfoulttb
it's own nest.
Here is another geiitle biot for tbe
Reformers," who b.ated so
hugely of their defrtiiuaiion to in
stitute prosecutions against li.e Re
publican candidates, ifth-citd. "Mr.
I'ocsVell Siortwell, ncently elected
Democraiic candidate for Sheriff of
McKean county, has been arrested
upon charges, brought by the Repub
lican candidate, that he procured bis
election by unlawful means."
When! oh when, will we have it
to announce that the much threaten'
ed profecutioua bave bven commenced
bere ?
We are really getting afraid that
some of our reform friends will be
held as huge story-tellers, tarred
with the fame stick as the Tilden re
formers, if tbey cto not hurry up tie
prosecutions.
We lav before our readers this
week, the dignifitd and careful Fpeech
made by Mr. Blaine, in tbe Senate,
on tbe t-ulji ci of the outrages and
frauds perpetrated at the late elec
tions. This speech Las stirred the
Northern heart to its depths; and set
tbe demagogues Nor.b and South to
villi Gcation, ranting and downright
lying. Mr. Blaine clearly demon
strates that tbe practical exclusion of
tbe colored otcr from the polls gives
every Southern white man more than
twice the political power that is en
joyed by the white man at tbe North,
and this position be so fortifies that
it is impregnable. To quote his own
language, "tbe Confederate soldier
South is enabled to cast a vote that
is twice as powerful and twice as
influential as tbe vote of tbe Union
soldier North." By this impudent
invasion of tbe rights of tbe Nortb,
tfee Democratic party has already se
cured eontrol of both branches of the
National Legislature, although it
cannot command the legal votes upon
which it falsely pretends to found
tbis representation.
No honest man can take iesue with
the principles enunciated by Mr.
Blaine. He cannot be answered ex
cept by the proof that bis allegations
are not true, and to give tbe Democ
racy a chance to make tbis proof, if
tbey can, be moved for a coa.mittee
to investigate them. Tbe champion
of the Democracy, put forth to an
swer Mr. Blaine, did not dure deny
his allegations, and the howling of
the Democratic press, that tbis is an
attempt to open up seetional issues
is as foolish as it is false. We must
have tbe prof that Mr. Blaine's
charges are not true, or Northern
fieeinen will bold themselves as
worse than slaves to submit to bo
palpable and rascally an invasion of
their rights.
Senator Thurman does not intend
to bave written on his tombstone
"Gone to meet William Allen," and
wben tbey said "will you run for
Governor," he fljurirbed his red ban

and said, "I cannot and will not con
sent to be a candidate."

Uuucybrook c illiery, operated by J.
B. McCUy & Co. He incurred the
enniuv of ili M iIIih Mftjuirp-t it i
! alleged, for decking mo rue of tne
J aiiuT9 belonging to that order. At
1 September 14, 1862. Kehoe aud some
a poimc 1 lUfftiinf on the nisfbt of
of bis followers made tbemselye
particularly obnoxious and created a
disturbance, and singled out Lang
don a their victim, to suffer for the
wrongs aone tbem. Langdon was
followed bom?, and so terribly beat
en with ttonea and cluba tbat be
i tied in a few hours. For tbis mur
der Keboe was tried aud convicted in
the first degree, while bis companions,
Neai, Dougherty and Campbell, were
convicted in tbe second degreo aud
t-eoteuct-d to five aud nine years re
spectively in the State prison.
Mrs. Kehoe bas bbown remarkable
devotion to her husband, having
labored unceasingly since his in
carceration to furnish evidence strong
enough to turn the fcsles of justice,
but without avail, and cot until
yesterday's meeting of the Board of
Pardons did she give up hope, and
unly whin notified by her husband's
atioruey.
KEOOE'S LAST MQUT.
Kehoe bore np to his fare during
tbe remaining few hours with remark
able fortitude. He retired last ntht
at eleven o'clock, after baving made
bis devotions. He rested uneasily
during tbe nigfct, having fclept only
three or four hours. At fix o'clock
tbis uiorniog one of the uuder-ketp-ers
called a, tiis door and found him
still in bed. He arose at once, and
a time eugagea in prayer, ue
dressed himself carefully. While
doing so be was a:-ked bow be felt,
aud replied : "First rate; I Lever
fell better iu my life.'' About seven
o'clek this morning, Mrs. Kehoe was
agio admitted to ste ter bubband
aud bad a short interview with biro
b-f re bis t-piriiual advisers came
Ma was celebrated by Rev. Father
Gallagher, as-isted by Father Bren
nan. Kt hoe's wife remained wib
Lira and partook cf breakfast with

lust lime.
THE CLOSING SCENES
At twenty minutes past ten o'clock
Kehoe, fiauked on either side by a
priest, walked into tbe jail yard. In
oae band be beld a li hif d candle,
but as Ije touched tbe scuff .Id's steps,
tbe fUoie, fn representative cf bis
life, flickered aod died rut Toe
suow tell upon bis bald aod bailees
head. His fiugers were blue, bis
face was pallid, bis eyes sought tbe
ground Over his shoulders be bad
a heavy cupe, aud as the aicterV
wind pierced to bis marrow be drew
tbe covering arou'id bitn, as though
be feared tbat the txporure might
impair bis beal.b, Iu ibe lappel of
his coal was a button hole bcuque t,
aud around bis neck was b;s rosary.
Herniated tbe scoff Id unaided,
and the p.i";-is prayiug aloud, f iiljw
fd him. Tii; weie no leogtbeced
religious B'-rvices to prolong the
man's ageny, for the good fathers
bad concluded tbe mortuary services
in Kebve's cell. The priests, the
moment the fatal trr.p was reached,
drew '.he condemned man to their
breasts, kissed Liui fervently n tbe
lips, aad whi-pering ia bis enrs tbir
pledges cf his sslratioo, softly with?
drew to the foot of the gallows,
where upou tbeir kuets thej prayed
alou i atid earnestly.
DECLARES KIS INNOCENCE.
To the question cf lie Sheriff

Kehoe ttrew cfj his cioak, appearing
ia a Enit of hroadclotn, Ijw sl.ppers,
asd a nosegay in Lis coat lappel,
acd clearing fci? throat two cr threp
times, be s'epped to tbe froiit if the
trap, and trailing on bjs agdienee,
said in a clear, ringing voice; "I am
not guilty of the murder of Langdon ;
I never raw tbe crime comniitud."
Tbe noose (at 10:25 o'clock) was
then adjusted, tbe white cap drawn
over bis bead, and a, 10:26 John

Knoxville, Tesjt., Dec. 14. A
m ist appalling tragedy occurred oa
the I lib inst, between tbe members
cf a family named Epperson, resid
ing in the lower part cf Hancock Co ,
a few mHes from Ttnrnbill, near the
scene of tbe Lee and Leger murders,
wbicb occurred a year ago. It ap
pears tbat from incompatibility of
temperament, or some equally valid
cause, Mr. J. N. Epperson and bis
wife could not live pleas intly togeth
er iu thtr old ag, though the par
ents o' a large family, and a separa
tion was the result tbe self divorced
busband leaving botne. On Wednes
day morning, however, he returned
and it wa& not long before he and
his wife f om quarreling proceeded
to blows. At this juncture J-bn Ep
person, aooe-aimed son, endeavored
to protect bis mother, whereupon his
father drew a pocket knife and in
flicted four serious wounds ia his re
maininc arm. A fearful strujvle en
sued, in wbicb tbe son succeeded in
wresting the knife from tbe gra-p of
bis father aud immediately dealt tbe
old man a fatal blow, the blade peo
etrating tbe heart and producing in
stant death.
Soon afier the above occurrence
another son, Thomas Epperson, re
turned home, and seeing tbe eviden
ces of the bloody tragedy oefjro bim,
asked John if he took bis father's
part in tbe fight with tbeir mother?
His brother answered, "No; I took
mother's part." Thomas thereupon
rejoined, "Then I will take father's
part," and, drawing a pistol, began
firing at bis brother, who rai into
the house, Thomas following. Tbe
mother tried to keep him from enter
ing, bat, with all his worst paions
aroused to the - higbeet pitch, be
raised bis arm and fired a pistol ball
through her breast, from the effects
of which she died in a few moments.
Without an iostaut' panes after
the commission of tbis uVidi&b act
tbe murderer continued firing at his
brother John, whom, however, he
failed to hit, though be shot another
brother, George Lpperson, through
the thiirh, itiflictiur a severe flesh
wound, and with another bullet shat
tered tbe knee of oue of bis sisters
who was in tbe room, the horrified
witness of the bloody acts, though
powerless to prevent them. It is
feared tbe girl catmot recover.
After committing these atrocious
crimes, Thomas Epperson fled from
tbe scene of murder and bas not yet
been apprehended.
John Epperson surrendered him
self to the authorities, but was acquit
ted, the Coroner's iurv findinz that.
in killing bis father, be only acted in
stif-defence.
