THE liOCSr.
After prayer the speaker stated that he
had yesterday submitted a question to the
house whether Tuesday’s journal should ba
read before Monday’s journal had been ap
proved; he tliouuht that it would be jus:
as equitable to submit a similar question
to the house relating to tho reading of
Wednesday's journal.
Mr F. Wood said during his experii
in the house, he had seen the house ti:
times involved in a difficulty’ similar
present one. and in each case the struggle
had been amicably adjusted. In view of
the past two days, lie thought
the time had arrived when
members, as sensible men desirous
of continuing their legislative labor* should
pause and come to some aiuicab'e
adjustment. Upon this question he held
that the position was not entirely in
sympathy with either side of the
house, fie hoped, however, that bath
sides would agree to tho. proposition wnich
he wished to make, namely, tliat ihs
journal* of Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day should be approved, aud that immedi
ately* thereafter, without debate the house
should vote cn the following resolution
Resolved. Tu*t tiie commlfecon the revision of
laws be discharged from further cousi lemtion of
the bill and that lt be referred to the committee
on ways and means. ....
Mr. B arkbarn inquired whether the pro
position carried with it the right to call for
a division of the propo-itiou.
Mr. Wood replied that there were two
distinct propositions, but ho hoped the
gentleman from Kentucky would not em
barrass the matter by calling for a division of
the proposition.
Mr. Blackburn replied he had no des:
embarrass the proposition or delay the
work of the hou*e. The oily point for
which he had stru/gled was «o protect the
integrity of the j mrnal. If that were
secured he had no further remarks to make.
He thought that the proposi ion of the
gentleman from New York was entirely
fair and he was content with it.
Mr. Townshend thought that Wood -
proposition was a good one.
After considerable disejssion Monday’:
journal was approved, * I! d Tuesday’s and

In reply he said: “I think not, unless
perhaps, it be done by arrangement, with
thc understanding that thc first ballot shall
be cast for him out of compliment to hto-

‘‘The Blaine men arc very confident, and
not without cause. They are becoming

TAMMANY AND TILDEN.
Nf.w York. March 24.—The democratic
state committee will meet at the St. J air
hotel, in this « ty, on Friday of this week to
name the time a;.d place for the next state
^00.000 Worth or Diamonds Stolen
convention that is to choose the New York
delegates to the democratic national con
vention. On the same day and for tin same
purpose thc state committee formed last
autumn by Tammany and its friends will
meet at the St. Nicholas hotel. Tfc* mem
here of the Tammany state coin mi tie 3 have
become convinced that the state convention
of the democratic party will not recogntz
the Tammany delegation from this city oi
delegates from country districts who are
chosen by men who supported John Kelly
in last fall’s contest for governor. They
are. therefor^ of the Qpinion that a st ite
convention should be called of tho^e who
formed the Kelly party ast year.
Captain John H. Mooney, tie commit
tee’s secretary, says the conventim Kenlaeky’® Whippiag Post,
of Tammany men and its friends Lovisville, March 25— In tho aenate
g, will be held on the tame day and in the yesterday the whipping post bill which
_ now in posses- same place with the convention of the passed the he u*e sometime ago. was laid on
ways and means, egular democrats. This course is to be the table and virtually defeated,
like the women folks." The shroud hav
ing lieeu adjusted and his hands manacled
and arms pinioned, the rope—a three quar
ter inch hemp—was adjusted, but
during thc whole time he uisplayed re
markable nerve and calmness. At 10:30
Drs. Foster and Roberts »n made an exam-
nation aud pronounced him not the least
l it rattled, and in five minutes he was on
the wagon for his la»t ride. from,
which, when he entered, lie quietly sur
veyed tbe crowd, smiling calmly’ at tho cu
rious upturned ©ye*, lie then took n scat,
on lit* coffin, and. surrounded by a guard
of forty men armed with double-barreled
shot-guns liegan his march to the scaffold.
Al 10:45 he descended from the wagon,
and with a firm iread coolly ascended tho
twenty* steps to reach the ll mr upon which
school system is now working admirably.
As a matter of cou~se the best schools
in the larger towns and cities, and.
•nsequetiCQ they are the first to reap
the benefits from the Peabody fu d. The
best nietho-l of building up a g*io 1 system
of public schools in a state, is by elevating
the schools in the cities, for as they grow in
prominence and popularity they furnish
excellent examples to the district ft’
which spring up throughout thestate.
The trustees of the IVabody fund, be it
said lo their lasting honor, was the very
first public association of a eo-operat'
Hire for dispensing charity in this country
which lent a helping lnnd to southern
public education after ihe war. Since
thc war the same noble body
• •f moil have rendered invalua
ble aid in building up the present public
school system in all the southern state*.
Public education in the southern states is
now an established fact in every reaped,
and its countless blessings are felt not in
tiie south alone, but throughout the length
and bre.'idlb of the entire country.
The income from the principal of the
Peabody fund is spent yearly to promote
public school education in tbe south. It is
spent, too, with that rare judgment which
quickly gives the cold shoulder *to tbe pre
udices of party and the bickerings r.f de
be should make bis last stand. Upon the
scaffold, l>esides the prisoner, were Sher
iff Braswell, Un\ Win. (’-ulster. Dm. Rob
ertson and Foster, the sheriff from Folk
c unity ami a Constitution reporter.
Sheriff Braswell, stepping to the
front of the gallows said that lie hoped
good order would be maintained.
lt may be well tosay that fears of an out
break among the negroes was feared on ac
count of a trade and rue which Jacksotn
had made of his body witii a certain Pauld
ing county physician.
Then tbe Rev. Mr. Colster read a portion
of the 371 lt chapter of the book of Numbers,
and after its completion Jackson stepped to
the front of the gallows aud said:
“Ladies and Gent emeu: l know what you
are here for. My time has corue. I must
die and be hung. I killed Jack Moss and E
killed him to save my life—but now I lose?
bitli* We was play in cards and 1 wined
liis mony, and be said I must give it back
nomination, and places it where it will h»st
subserve tbe interests of the whole ;»eople.
The grand defect of the public schools r.f
the south is the want of competent teachers.
Of course many of these teachers arc well
qualified for the work which thev |*erform,
out hundreds of them are not fully equal
to the tasks imposed. With a view to rem
edy t'tis imjeirtant defect, the trustee* of
the Peabody’ fund ato now turning their
chi« f attention to ene mraging the different
southern slates in the establishment of
norma! schools. The object of these school'
is to teac » te-ochers how to teach. Tiiey^
are not ti* he conducted after the plaq of*
the high school nor the college,
hut will have a system instruction
*;*eciallv a ‘.opted to ih * qualify ing of |ier-
sons of both sexes as teacnera in the pubho
schools. Applicants for admission to ttoo-e
schools are thoroughly examine ! by* the
principals or some one appointed by them.
As a rule they must h; high acho *1 gradu
ates Advanced |»upilsin thc nub ic^hools
who have obtains 1 t*ei »larsii pi are not
only admitted to tli-se schools, hut are
paid two hundred dollam jer year out of
the IV«h>ly fund. They are examined by
thc state t-chool commissioner. At present
there are four normal schouU in lire south,
aided hy the IVabody fund, besides two
held during the summer vacation at the
U iver?idea of North Carolina and Vir
ginia respectively. The revenue for the
support of those schools is furnished
hy thc states and the trusteea
«.f the IVabody fund cot jointly. The
states e.stanli-h the schools and furnish the
buiiding* while the trustees simply make
yearly contributions. Mr. Seam is here for
the purpose of considering propositions rel
ative to <he estabiirinue.it uc a normal
.-chool in Georgia. Tht» point of location
has not yet betm settled. In a few days we
hope to give our readers some definite in
formation concerning this new normal
school, the establishment of whivh. in this
state will undoubtedly tend tu elevate the
standard of public education in Georgia.
London, March 20 —A dispatch from

lie then walked to tho rear and took it
a seat. During his talk there was no quiver
in his voice, or any indication at all of trep
idation.
A colored minister then offered prayer.
a«»d Jackson’s “ainens" were loud and'fre
quent. When the prayer was finished, he
arose from his knees, showing signs of
weeping, but soon he dried the last tear ho
would ever died.
At 11:30 the death-warrant was read and
Jackson lead forward to tbe trap. He care
fully took a seat on a box on the trap, and
the sheriff and deputies proceeded to pinion
his legs and adjust the rope to the I team.
When this was done, the cap was drawn
over hts eye-;, and at 11:35, with the word-:
“God forgive us all,” U|»on his lips the trig
