OLD HICKORY’S GRAVE Attempt Made to Disturb the Re. mains WePnesd ß y Night. Nashville, Tenn , Aug. 4. —lnfor mation was received here today from the Hermitage where Gen. Andrew Jackson’s remains are buried, that his grave was disturbed last night by an unknown person or persons. A hole eighteen inches in depth and three feet in length was dug at the head of the grave, but the parties were fright ened away before they accomplished their object. The Hermitage is twelve miles from this city. The desecration of Gen Jackson’s grave was discovered at an early hour and the fact immediately reported to the Ladies’ Hermitage Association. A long plankjwas left lying beside the grave. Suspicion rests upon a welt dressed negro for whom the authori ties are now looking.

While near the Hermitage he made inquiries about Gen. Jackson’s tomb. St, Marys Church, Mass this morn ing at 10 30 and tomorrow at 7. Bey. A, A. McCarthy Pastor, WHO WILLRUN? Doctor Wm. H. Felton Spoken of as an independent. WRIGHT AND MC’GARRITY. Are Mentioned in Conection With the Opposition to Congressman John W. Maddox. Other Rumors. Who will oppose Hon. John W . Maddox for re-election to congress? The above question is oftener asked and more unsatisfactorily answered than anv other half doz en asked of Romans, Until Hon. Seaborn Wright de nied most emphatically to the Hustler of Rome that he oot was in the race and stated most positive ly that he would not be, his name was often suggested as an answer to the said question—and even yet a few of his admirers insist that Scab will receive the endorsement of the third party convention on the 15th aud that he will yet make the race against “Our John,’’ On the other hand, are men who are honest believers in Popu lism who say that cheir party will not endorse an. “independent” now any more than it did two years ago when Mr. Wright declined a nomi nation. and offered to dictate a platform to them. And then there is a rumor afloat that proposes the name of Dr. Wm H. Felton, better known as “Eto- wah Bill,” of “Hallelujah Lick” Jeffersonian Democracy fame. This rumor after floating around the seventh for some weeks has got ten into the cold type of the Atlan ta Journal as follows: “The rumor is current in the seventh district that Dr. Felton has about consented to make the race for congress as an independ ent candidate. In that event he will have the support of the popu lists. The doctor has lost but lit tle of his old time fire, and, when he takes the stump, will revive the “hallelujah licks” that made him so famous in former campaigns, “But,” said one of his neighbors this morning, “the doctor is not as popular as he was a few years ago, while John Maddox has in creased his strength and popular ity’’ since he has been in congress, A race between the doctor and Colonel Maddox would be highly* interesting, but the result would be that Colonel Maddox would con tinue to serve the people in the district in congress.” Outside of the above rumors the Hustler of Rome finds many pop ulists who say that they have good and strong men in their own party ranks and from them they will choose a leader who will bear their standard to victory—or defeat, They say that the report that Rankin, of Gordon, will support Seab Wright and stump the dis trict for him if Seab will run as an independent is but a covert blow at populism and will prove abortive, Os course Judge Maddox will be nominated by the democrats to succeed himself and of course he will defeat all comers be they pop ulists, independent or flopperistic, Maddox is the stuff and the wool hat boys know it, Mark the pre diction and watch the results, A YOUNG GIRL’S SUICIDE.
