SPEEDY JUSTICE I Anthony Blair Hanged at Morris- town. Only Two Months Between the Time His Victim Dies Until He Passes Oyer the River. Scenes Around the Jail. Ho Makes Talk' "of Hoar's Duration. Half XIX 6' I The History of the HIS CRIME.

Him Special to ill bOBtei. MOBBIfcTOWK, SeptTStT" Your reporter to-day witnessed tbe execution of Antbooy Blair, colored, for the murder of bis stepdaughter, Maggie Blair, a girl of 13 tars, on the 80th day of July Ia Tbe; erime for which beFufTered was looked upon in this community as a most atrocio a murder. There was no seeming cause, provocation or excuse for it. His execution is pronounced by all as just. Blair was perhaps thirty years of age, African in eye brutal aud sensuous in appearance and looked to be capable cf any At twelve o'clock, SheriflTK Loop, with twenty-eight guards, proceeded to the jail aud, with your, reporter, enteiel Blair's cell.

Blair Beemed callous and without feeling. He submitted qu ly to the manacles and walked with a firm step to the wegon on which he rode to the gallows. Afur rtligiius services by Rev. Geo. Branner, colored, the prisoner doing the singing, he was allowed half an hour to talk.

Hi harangue was such as would be expected from euch a men. He owned his guilt, but developed a etata of facts leading to the crime not proper for your columns. At 1:30 tbe rope was li and the black cap arranged, and at 1:35 the wagon moved from under him. Ia bite minutes no pulse could bedistiogushe in ten minutes bis heart had ceastd io act, in fifteen minutes he was pronounced dead, and just twenty two minutes after he swung he was lowered into his coffin. This was tbe first execution iu Hamblen county.

The people present were estimated at eight or ten thousand, and representing at least elevtn counties. The crime for which the Ill-fated man XT-red up bis life on the gallows, as an expiation, was ml tied tbe gf of July 80, near Rusellvil e. Tbe vicliou was Maitgte Blair, bis ep-daughter, who was about eighteen yers of age. For Boaae reason or her the left his hou-e near Jones-boro', atiout the 1st of May, arjd was, when killed, iu the employ of Wm. Donaldson, who -presn ed her as a smart industrious and lutieliigeut girl Blur, having become acq lain ted with her whereabouts, came down to Ru Behville on the 29th of July.

iHe re- paired immediately to the residence of Mr. Donaldson, and entering, tbe kitchen where she and Mrs. Don aid son were preparing dinner, told her in a very vindictive voice to erne out vt ibe bou as he wished to pp'ak with h-r. The girl, who, it appeared, was very much afraid of him. refused to do so, and Mr.

coming tip at this juncture.be left.and nothing more was seen of him uutil tbe night which witnessed the awful deed. That uight Maggie, with a few friends( went up to near Russellville' to attend prayer meeiiug. The party was met while returning by Blair, who, pressing Henry Taylor, Maggie's etcort, away from her, grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her along the road a hundred rds or so, faying, You must come ma with me on the train to-night to your grandpapa." She snuggled all the time, staling that she would rather die than go back with him. This seems to have enraged him beyond description, and drawing bis revolver be fired twoehote iu rapid succession, both of which took effect. The unfortunate girl only lived until Saturday morning.

Blair was arrested on Tburaday, tried before a justice and committed to il. Ou Monday, August 4fh, the Grand Jury of the Circuit Court of Hamblen unty found an ln ictment for murder. Ou Thursday of tbe same week he was tried and found guilty, and on the next day was sentenced only eight days having elapsed between the murder and the sentence. He refused take an appeal, saying that tbe ver diet was juet, and that be was only sorry he was not to bang sooner Here we bave the unwonted of only two months dividing the death-day of the murdered add the murderer, the victim and the vlc'or. Tbe like has never before happened in this part of the courtry.

Rowell came on the track at eleven minutes past noon, and was greeted with a storm of applause.

A Washinqtom special to the Cincinnati Commercial gives Postmaster General Jewell as authority for saying that Connecticut is red-hct for Grant In 1880. Mr. Jewell says be is not his first choice but there Is no denying that his 8tate is for bltn. i Justick Fibld, Vf the Supreme Court, is the latest candidate mentioned in connection with tbe Democratic nomination for Prei-ldeut He Is a brother to Cyrus W.

Bendy left in tbe ranks of the Democratic party. Had the Democrats Ohio, beard a clap of thunder from a clear sky, there would not have been greater consternuion than wht they ad the letter of Gen. Samuel Bently, of Canton, published Wednesday evening, lu which he avows his purpose to support tbe Republican party, and to give what influence be may have to secure tbe election or its tlcaet.

He aid he could give numerous ra-ons, but especitlly upon tbe question of finance and States Rights. He has heretofore been one of the leading aud moat influential Democrats In that sec-tioa. Hurrah for tbe extia session There was a great deal of formality and unnecessary blowing when Gov. Marks appointed a Commissary General, a few weeks ago, for tbe purpose of securing supplies for Memphis. Our Governor seems to have a weakness for military methods, as he shows weakness of the nincompoop order in other things.

When our worthy fellow citizen Mr. C. J. McCIung was designated a few weeks ago as one of the subordinates of tbe Commissary General, be immediately wrote a letter declining to act, since when no one ele has been appointed. Our people should make an effort to secure provisions for tbe Memphis euflerers, and do it at once, but our advice would be to do it without any sort of reference the Governor's Commissary Let contributions be forwarded directly to Memphis.

Tbe railroads do.lt free of charge for freights, and the people of Ktoxville may bestow a cbarity without tbe aid of red tape peculiar to military operations.

South Carolina Democrats here are very bitter in their denunciations of Special Agent Redmond for his re port as to irregularities, which resulted in the appointment of Nix; the colored man. Judge Key says Redmond is a trustworthy and reliable agent, and so far from being a carpet-bagger, he is a Southerner and an exsConfederate. He says the only troubles of this sort that the Postal Department experience are in the States of Louisiana, South Carolina and Mississippi. BABKE1S BT TELaeUAPfl.
