The present e:cision is invg'ed with

Six year in the Senate would

preference, the result of calm, dispassion
ate judgment above and outside of mere
personal regard, and desiring to conserve
the best interests of the proud old volun

This document is mora voluminous
thaa was expected. It is coming in as
we go to press, but there is too much of
it to print to-day; wa will give a syn
opsis tomorrow. Our Ca$ar seems
to be rather on the defensive, though he
makes a few thrusts at the dead body of
tho rebellion, and reminds the country
again that Lincoln was assassinated.
The inference is that the rebellion is
still going on and that the Returning
Board should save the Government.
Tat Federal law requires wholesale
liquor dealers to have a sign with the
three words," Wholesale liquor dealers,"
in this exact order and form. Dealers in
liquors by whole or anyother expression
different from that above, although
meaning the aame, will not answer the
requirements of the law. Such is Judge
Trigg'a ruling. Many of our merchants
are unconsciously violating the law, and
are liable to heavy fines and costs. All
wholesale liquor dealerswill do well .to
look into the matter at once and avoid
trouble, costs and lawyers' fees. One of
the best houses of tbe city was before
Jadge Trigz yesterday for a clear but
unintentional violation of the law.

fir Secretary of State. He has resided
in Shelby county for twenty-six years
and is held in the highest regard by all
who know him. In 1870 he was nom
inated for the Legislature by a Demo
cratic convention under circumstances
which showed the high esteem in which
be was held. He was elected by a splen
did mpjority, and during the two sessions
of the Legislature of lSil made an
unexceptionable record. A!wys at
his post he brought to bear a fiae in
telligence and broad, liberal views upon
the important questions which then aei-
Utcd the public and acquitted himself
ith credit. He has not since submit
ted bis name btfore the people for any
oflhe. The position in which his friends
would now place him is one he is hap
pily fitted by nature, edaoation and as
sociation to fill with ease and efficiency
A true Democrat, he is national and
conservative in his views, a gentle
man in the highest sense and worthy
of any honor that may be cob
,er;el on him. He will probably be the
only candidate from Shelby county for a
position under the State government,
and we hope, io view of his fine qoalifi
cations and many excellencies of charac
ter, that his claims will be understood
and fairly weighed by the incoming Leg
ii'atura. We commend bim fjr capaci

Tbe following from the Nashville

The reporter began his interrogatories
by asking what was the aggregate tax oi
the State, conoty, riiabvale acd hJge
held.
Mr. Knight Sixi hundred thousand
dollars.
Reporter 'Does thi include all taxes
on penonalty and rel'y ?
llr. Knight Jt does
Reporter How much of this amount
has ben collee'd up to da?
Mr. KniRlit 1ifty stvep thousand and
entity-six aouars.
Reporter Do you think it DQsibl to
collect the balance within this mouth?
Mr. Knight If tbe taxes were paid
within this month, it would be all myseM
and clerks could do to take the money in
and give the proper receipts. It weald
he a great rash apoa us, whereas during
the past two months, as I have already
told you, wa have had comparatively lit
t'e to do.
Heporter Can yoa giva any particu
lar reason why the taxes have not been
paid more promptly?
Jlr. liniglt i caanot. J have given
information through advertisements tn
the paper, with regard ta tbe collection
of taxes, and tbis has done sotnething
toward hurrying peopis np.
Reporter I understand that penalties
rill be attached to ail tax payers who
shall have failed to pay their taxes be
fore the 1st of January. Am I correct?
Mr. Knight Vou are. Alter that
data lis law gives me no discretion with
retard to te puliation of taxes. It re
quires me, on that iJ, to issue to the
dputy collectors and tu thh atiriff and
his deputies, distress warrants agaiaai
all persons who may ba at thai time
fo'iud delinquent.
kpifUi.--What penalties attach i.;

Mr K'light The law gits trj officers

Retort-!-!) there any difference in
this r'pct with its corporation of

Mr. Knicht There is this difference.
Instead of the penalty of four per cent.,
the taxes of these two corporations will

member of the Legislature.!
X, 8. M1HOKKT.
Dr. Matthew Stephenson Uahouey, the
Representative from the counties of
Washington and Unicoi, is, as his name
indicate;, of Irish descent.
He was born in Washington county
March 5, 1832, and is now in the forty
fifth year of his age. Ha was educated
in the commoa schools and academies
of the country, and afterwards read medi
cine and attended the Medical School at
Mac n, Ga.
Prior to the late war he was a member
of the Whig party; during the war he
was a Uuionist; since the war he has
been a Republican.
Ia the month of September, 1869, he
began the publication of the Herald and
Tribune at Jonesboro, and remained
connected with that paper until he sold
out to Walter P. Brownlow, in October,
18fG
He was nominated last Angst for the
Legislature by the Republican Conven
tion, although not an aspirant for the
position, and was elected over Dr. A. S.
N. Dobsoa, the Democratic candidate,
by 136 votes, receiving 1654 votes, and
Dr. Dobsoa receiving 1493 votes. He is
io favor of tbe lowest possible tax con
sisteat with a liberal free school system
and the payment of the just indebted
ness of the Slate.
Ha is a membvr of the Methodist Epis
copal Church; also a member of P,hea

The- New York Herald, of the 1st

column and a ha'f long, headed " What
is Grant Driving At." The answer is
easily reasoned out that ho intenda to
remain in power after the 4th of March
Tbe concluding sentences ara as follows
History abounds with inxtances of men
who have not scrupled to "wade through
slaughter to a throne, and there is notb
ing io tlia career of President Grant in
consistent with the idea that he may ba
of the number. If be can eet Haves
counted in by fraud it is by no means a
wild expectation that the Democratio
tloine ot liepresantatives will resist,
and Pre si J cut Grant can then give such
a shape to the controversy as will afford
him a protest for keeping posaiinn of
the government until another Presi
dential election. If ha holds over
on such a pretext we ahsll never
have another Presidential election. If
there should be a pretence of one the
Cseiar'at Washington would mauaze to
have the prevent difficulties coma up
sgiin to afford him tbe same exense for
not relaxing his gratp. If ha tramples

The Batesville B! le, of the 2d inst,,
contains the following item from Panola
county:
An altercation occurred in Longtown
nn Saturday night last between J.H.
Wheeler and Richard Page, both white,
which resulted in the death of the former.
The particulars, as we have gathered
them from an eye-witness, are as follows:
Mr. Wheeler walked into Hall's saloon
and found Mr. l'aee siltinp- at the fire
paring his finger nails with a pocket-
Krr.ie, ana oegan to enrse and abuse bin
beyond measuro. Page protested to the
epithets, but Wheeler continued. Page
tc i hint that he would stand it no longer,
reminding him that he had jnst recov
ered from irjuries rJCoUeJ at bis hands
some monies since. Wheeler lusistftd
he pould end would whip him, when
Page knocke Mm UB with his fist and
then cut his throat, beeler'l last
word's wre, "ft in you. I C:u
wbipyoul Page was el ro ar,4 delibe
rate. When his job ws finished be bid
l.is friends adieu and left for parts un
known. A messengor was sent with a
physician to inform Mrs. Wheeler (who
was eocietite) of her hucbancj's sad fate,
hot the precaution of taking the dootor
was unnt-cessary. Mrs. Wheeler, hav
ing retired, simply turned over and said,
"Just as I expected." We understand
that she is a very clever, honest, poor
woman. Wheeler was a brickmason,
and a drinkinir. disazreeable fallow.
Page was a blacksmith and worked for
rlauttm cur town several months ago,
A Hrjer Editorial.
The shortest editorial lever remember
to have seen in any journal, says the
London correspondent of tbe New York
world, was written by an eccsntric old
editor, nam-id Liing, in a paper called
the Mo'usailite. at one time well known
in India, "he celebrated Gorham case
bad been going on for months, filling all
the newspapers and we'ghini down all
tbe mails. When tbe English journals
were eagerly opened for news from
nume, nommg appeared but column
after column about the Gorham case.
It was upon this that Lain wrote the
editorial I have mentioned, and I have
otten thought that it combined many of
the greatest merits an editorial can pos
sess lor it was short, could be under
stood by everybody, and it faithfully re
fleeted public opinion. This was all,
just as ii stood, bead-line and all:
TnsGoRHiM Case.
D lha Gorham case.
Everybody was thinking that, and
wu-n uaing said it, tiers was a great
snout oi approbation.
Nkw York, December 5. The Trib
une correspondent at Columbia, S. C,
telegraphs under date of the 4th as
follows: "All day special trains have
been arriving bringing bodies of armed
men, nearly all with rifles. They have
their blankets rolled around their necks
and their haversacks slung, and they
look very little different from Confede
rate soldiers, with whom we were once
so familiar. They have been quartered
io the spacious fair grpuods buildings
and in the poblio ha'ls of the town.
There ara only Bbout four hundred
soldiers in tha city. Not less than three
th3U3and members of rills clubs are
here."
Governor Chamberlain in a summary
of the situation which he telegraphs to
the Tribune, says: "It is not true as
stated that any persons held certificates
of election from the Supreme Court.
Tho court had on application, refused to
isue any certificates. What the per
sona from Edgefield and Laureug coun
ties hold are mere evidences from the
olerk of that court that the court made
an order requiring the canvassers and
Secretary of State to do what they have
never done. If such papers are said to
be valid certificates of election and en
titling the bearers to bs recognized as
members of the House, I will lake issue
and appeal to the judgment of the
co irts and lawyers. Democratic mem
bers holding valid certificates refused
Tuesday, doubtless uuder the advice of
Senator Gordon and our other Demo
cratic strangers, to go into the House be
cause their friends from Elgetield and
Laurens counties without certificates
were refused admittance. No impedi
ment other than this was placed in their
way by any civil or military officer. The
House, now presided over by Mackey,
was organized with sixty present holding
certificates of the Secretary of State,
biff-.d on the action of tha canvassers.
fifty-nine of whom voted io the election
for Speaker. This is a mtjoaity of 116,
tbe whole number holding certificates of
the Secretary of State. The body pre
sided over by Wallace has never had
mora than fifty seven persons holding
certificates of the Secretary cf State,
less than a majority of one sixteenth.
"The Republican desire a speedy
and peaceful settlement of the present
difficulties, but they wiil never, with my
consent; yield one hair's breath of their
legal rights to secure peace, especially
under the prejent menaces of South
Carolina Democrats. I have fought cor
ruption ity my own pary and s,hall not
blench before violence in the Democratic
party."
Tha Tribune has a telegram undar the
caption, " A Democratic view of affairs,"
which closes thus: "Tbe Democrats are
confident of success. Speeches were
mada to-night and Monday by Wade
Hampton and other Democratio speak
er, full of spirit but counseling peaoe.
The city is crowded with armed Demo
crats and many are arriving by every
train. The Democrats will not fire a
shot, unless under orders to sustuiu the
Supreme Court,"

An interesting discovery hag lately
heen made at Rome, in the Church of
St. Peter ad Vincula. Workmen have
been engazed for sortie time in the coo
struction of a "confession" near the
high altar. In the course of tha exca
vBtions, in a line between the altar and
the apse, they came upon a marble sar
cophagus more than two metres to
length. On the BideB are sculptured five
groups in the style apparently of the
fourth or ufth century, the hrst repre
cents the Redeemer raising Lazarus,
with the sinter of the latter en her knees
at the tomb; the second, the multiplica
tion ol the loaves and lubes; the third.
Jesns and the Samaritan woman at the
well; the fourth, our Lord loretellini to
Peter bis triple denial: and tbe fifth.
Vhrist giving the keys to f eter. 1 he in
terior is divided into seven compart
ments, and this circumstance has given
rise to the belief that the'snrcophacus
found contains the bodies of the seven
Maccabees, which, according to church
history and tradition, rest in this church,
built by hudoxia.
There is no'hing mean about the Ne
vada jack cf spades when the trump
card is a heart. The Mariners' Union
at Gold Hiil announces with a flourish
of printer's ink that it has hired "the
best mnsic in the country " for ita tenth
annual ball, and that the "boot-polish
ing department" will bs under the
charge of a " epicial committee," so
that "no charge will be made to any
guest who may honor us on the occa.
sion."
Papers friendly to Mr. Hayes are pay
ing gashing tributes to his "bearing."
