Memphis, July 24,-CoL Henry Clay

nrora'uent Tennessee lawyer, in Mem
phis on March 10, 1801, will be hanged
„ u August 12 next, uulesa executive
clemency lulerveues. which now seems
doubtful. The details of the crime of
wbiel* King has been convicted have
become of wldoapread Interest, not only
because of the domestic scnndals Imme
diately preceding the murder aud of
which It was the climax, but on account
of the high legal ability and literary
attainments if the murderer himself,
cm March 10 of last year, at about the
noon hour, King, who had evidently
been In waiting for ills victim, stepped
from an alley into a crowded street In
this city, aad fatally shot David H.
jYmbui, the wounded man expiring the
evening of the same day.
Henry Clay King's downfall can bo
traced entirely to his allurements from
the path of honor by a fascinating and
beautiful woman whom ho met five
years ago. This woman Is Mrs. Mary
J i'iilow. widow of Gen. Gideon J.
Pillow, who distinguished himself In the
Mexican war, and wtio, during the siege
of Fort Donelson. declined the com
mand of tbo Confederate forces in favor
of Gen. lliickner. the officer who was
compelled to capitulate In a fbw days

How ami Whw They Met#
When Col. King met Mrs. Pillow she
was about -IS years of age, but looked
and acted at least fifteen yean younger.
Possessed of a magnificent presence,
liuo education and a moat fascinating
manner, ihe onuld easily play upon and
capture the heart strings of a man like
King. Their meeting was a chance one,
iu the ordinary affairs of business, In
his own office, and from that hour thu
great lawyer wua hor slave. Finding
that concealment of the facts from the
public was Impossible, he Unally threw
otl the mask and went to board with
die woman in her own uuartmeutg. It
was then that popular disapproval be
gan to manliest Itself und Its effects up
on King's business und pursoual asso
ciations was aoou more than he could
stand. To escape an indignadon grow
ing iuto wrath on the part of Memphis
citizens, the ouluoel, accompanied by
his ensuorer, removed to his plantation
la law county, Arkansas, where they
lived togutliera* man and wife.
Mrs. l*Uluw la a few months began
to lay plans to secure King's property

The Report of the Board of Visitors to

Washington, July 24.—The report of
tho board of visitors in tho United

has been received by the secretary of

foUows: Gen. Felix Angus, president;
CoL John W. Tinsley, vlce-preslilcut;

Hon. J. A. Gelssenhiancr, Hon. J. A.
T. HuU, and Capt. Alfred M. Ogle, sec
retary.
The report enters fully Into the details
nnd needs of the ucademy. It says the
maximum clapta of the Institution ls
BOO oadets, but to Increase the corps
to this number would require au In

the iaw of appointments the maximum

the academy. The twunl lielleves 400
oan be accommodated and Instructed
with no further expense for buildings
or instructors. Thu board thinks the
academy should be kept to Its full work
ing capacity. It recommends that rep
resentatives In appointing yotmg. men
name two substitutes, so that In case of
failure there would be a practical cer
tainty of fining the vacancy. Of soft
young tnon up pointed fi>r the March ex
amination only eighty-five passed und

recommended that the law be changed
so ns to restore to the prealdcut of the
United States the right to ippolnt at

tion to the representation fixed by law.
In discipline aud Inslruullou thu board
reports satisfactory results. Tho value
of French ls Indorsed, but souio doubt
Is expressed as to the brief time given
to Spanish.
The board vigorously attacks the
present use of burses for both oavalry
and artillery service, oa each service
unfits tho animals for the other.
It rouoinmsnds that five additional
hones be purchased or that a light but
tery bo stationed ut the post. It says
the heavy ordnance In use at tho
seadeiny ls ilangerous, and that slnco
1870 three guns have buret, and U re
commends the addition of new ordnance
models.
The board aska congress to appro

DRUM OUT OF CAMP
Homestead, July 24.—Private Isms
of Company K. Tenth regim.uc sh' ited
yesterday afternoon when tbs report of
the attempted unsassluation of Frink
reached the provisional brigade, for
thivu cheers for the assassin.
Col. Streeter from his quarters heard
tho incoudlai7 shout. He hurried into
camp and ordered ths regiment paraded
In double quick time. When his com
mand was drawn up he recited to the
soldiers the remark he heard .
"I heard very distinctly." tbe colonel
said. "1 think I recognised It ao>l I
went tha man who mads the statement
to advance two paces."
The colonel had recognized Izms voles
and he was standing directly tn front
of the Scs-u.sd when ho was talking-
Immediately Private Iania stepped to
the front. IIs was trembling like an
aspea aud bt seemed unable to hold his
gun.
"You offered three cheers for the kill
ing of Frick, did you not?" the colonel
asked.
Isms, did not answer. He hang his
head, and nodded, "yes, sir." He wss
ordered to the guar house.
The coloael sml his staff. Including the
ear grant, then went to tbe guard house.
The officer of the day took charge of
tlie criminal, and y orders, he was hung
by tbo thumbs thirty minutes. The sur
geons remained with the unfortunate
man raring his punishment. One of
them kept a watch on his pulse, while
another looked nfur hi- heart, and at
tbs end of thirty minutes, Surgeon X<

When released young lams was limp
and apparently unconscious. The tnr-
gcoa remained with him until be sraa

The severity of tie- punishment was due
to his refusal to talk hack or apologise

The banner uuder which that canvass
was fought was Inscribed “Free Soil,

aud the ticket received 2nL2iiit votes.
In 1832 the free soil Democracy met In
convention at PittahuVg on Aug II. AU
the fret states und Delaware and Mary
land, Virginia and Kentucky were rep
resented. John P. Hale was nominated
for president and George VT. Julian for
rice-president. The Uepubllean party
was organized before the next presiden
tial election, in 1850,. aud the Abolition
sixty was absorbed by it, and in its ranks
ought ersry shade of opposition to slav
ery. Tbe Satire American moroipent waa
started in New York In 1844 and elected
James Harper, the elder of ths llsrper
Brothers, mayor and four mamhera of
oougress, and In Pennsylvania they sleet
ed two members of congress. It was only
formidable In the cities, howaeer. Iu
1852- 53 natiro Americanism was rersred
and for a time had a large following. Tbs

ual tended to Its downfall. It was known

ty, at oua of the candidates tor vies-pres
ident at tbe recent Chios go convention
was charged with being a member of that
party, and his friends went to contideva-
Me trouble by affidavits to purge him
from the charge.
This party carried a good many states
aud the Whigs, to beat their old oppo
nent, the Democratic party, availed
themselves of this new element, which
bid lair to sweep the country. It was
the most formidable party aver raised
In tbs country, but It met Its Waterloo
in Virginia after It had carried cities
and states and electing members of con
gress Henry A. Wise fought it la
every county In ths state. It was too
widespread howevsr, to be crushed is
one battle, and In 1850 it met In con
tention at Philadelphia and nominated
a presidential ticket, with hfr. Fillmore
at Its head. At that convention every
gtats but Maine, Vermont and Booth
Carolina were represented. The ticket
received 674,534 popular votes but cap
rind but one state, Maryland. At the
statu elections that year they carried
both Maryland and Rhode Island. In
the Thirty-fifth congress. 1657-'50, there
were five "know-nothing” senators and
from fifteen to twenty “know-nothing”
members of ths house. In the thirty-
sixth congress there were two “know-
nothing” senators from Kentucky and
Maryland and twenty-three reprksenta-
tires. It soon became powerless, how
ever, and in UMO the remains of The
onee powerful nrganlrztlon mef at Bal
timore, ahandonln* the secrecy and

nated John Bell of Tennessee for presi
dent and Edwsnl Everett for vice-presi
dent. The ticket carried three states.
Tennessee. Kentucky and Virginia, and
received 868,881 of the pupniar rote.
This notice of the Know-notliln* p»p
ty recalls an evidence of the Intolerance
of the organization. After ths laying of
tho cornepstone of the Washington
monument the re'gnlng monnrehs of
Rttrope sent htisliornekr prepared map
bla blocks with suitable Inscriptions to
b« placed Inside the walla of thu monu
ment. Among those Inscribed testimo
nials to Washington tho Pope of Rome
sent a brick taken from gome famed
spot In or near Borne. One night It was
taken from the shed where the blocks
tvero kept and, being unable to carry It
It tvns broken and east Into the Poto
mac. It was brought up from Its long
resting place only a little while ago. but
Its wss said Its remains wore ngaln
stolen front the finder. With tho war
know-nothing-ism ceased, and heaven
forbid It may ever raise Us head ngaln
In this community.
The advent of the third party move
ment, after the war had consolidated
the two great parties, was In 1S72.
when the liberal Republicans met tn
convention at Cincinnati and nominated
Horace Gtoday for pre-ldent andR.
Gratz Brown for vice-president. The
Democratic party In convention at Bal
tlmoro adopted this ticket, and It was
badly beaten. There were many Demo
crats who refused to support tho ticket,
and who met In convention at Louts-
rllle and nominated Charles O'Connor
for president and John Q. Adams for
vice-president. These gentlemen do

however, and the ticket received nearly
80,000 votes. The Prohibitionists for

nated for president Peter Cooper, and
for vice-president Samuel F. Cnrv of
Ohio, and they received nearly 82.000
votes. The PrelilbllionLsts again had a
ticket In tho field headed by Gen. Green
Clay Smith of Kentucky, and It obtain
ed about 10.000 votes. The Amcrlcau
national party had a ticket tn tlie field
with the name of Janies B. Walker us
president which received 530 votes.
In the campaign of 1880 the Green
back party nominated James B. Weaver
was nominated nt Omaha a few days
ago. They polled In that campaign
370.740 votes, and tho Prohibitionists
with Xenl Dow uolled 10.305 votes. In
1884 the national or Greenback party,
with Gen. B. F. Butler nt its head, poll
ed 175,370 votes, but the Prohibition
party made rapid increase, trad. with
John P. St. John ns Us nominee

Flak, received 240.309 votes. In that
campaign there were two labor tickets
and a “khow-noUilng” ticket, Tlie un

Connecticut, received 1,591 votes, and
the norlnllit ticket received 2.008 votes.
The organization of tho Farmers’ A1
fiance has displayed more strength nnd
power than other organization which
has opposed the old parties. They have
succeeded in electing threcUulted Stales
senators and several members of oon
great.
Tho presence of "Kreenbaukeni” in
the bonze of representatives for several
years was secured by a combination
with the old party, with which, for tlie
time being, they affiliated. Judge Da
vid DavU was a candidate of their or
ganization, but his election to tho sonata
was secured by a union with tho Re
publicans, who took this method of tak

for which he had been selected by the
Democrats. The organization has gain

In that state the Alliance will not. MaJ.

When in North Carolina In 1875
found MaJ. Williams' knowledge of the
political condition of the state more
thorough than any one 1 knew there,
and therefore 1 regard his Information
of value. There ls only n difference
8.000 or 9.0U0 roles In the state.
1838 tho Republicans polled nearly
118,000 votes and tlie Democrats hut
littlo over 125.000 rotes. It can readily
be seen how slight it defection could
disturb the Democratic majority. The
■ama element ls powerful in other
Southern states, and. ns may be op
posed, draws largely from the Demo-
ora tio party. MaJ. Williams auyi the
members of tbe Alliance In North Caro
lina are so wedded to the Ideas taught
by thu organs of tlie party that they
rend nothing eluu, and argument ls lost
upun them. This danger to thu success
of the Democratic party tn the South Is
admitted by other well-informed poli
ticians, but they are hopeful when the
oanvaas opens that some way of reach
ing this source of apprehension may be
(levlsfd. but Its prnwmce Is now a me
ns nee to "the Solid South.”
The past history of third parties can
be studied with Interest and profit by
the political readers of the Star. Up
to this period they have In some In
stances buen of rapid growth, and tar
a time vxurctaed a very potent influ
ence in the political fluid, but rarely
have they United for any lengh of time.
In some Instances they have served ns
on article of traffic. In 1875 a man
m—i Ellsworth, representing himself
to bu the president of the American
league, or alliance, or tome other con
cent. having many voters behind him,
sold to the national committee of the
Democratic party, through thu late Wil
liam L. Beott, a letter from Mr. Hayes
accepting tbe nomination of bis fndon,
and It was photographed and thu fac
similes of It dmilated, but wltout any
effect. Ellsworth claimed thnt Scott
had agreed to pay $10,000 for his auto
graph—(1U1 pay $1,000 on account, I
think—and for M-reral years he fought
Scott for a settlement, but his demand
was so transparent u found no Mail
ing In court. Many such organizations
are In existence "for revenue only.”
but In the experience of thu past they
obtain but little confidence.
