Dr.. CATLIN.-This person still remains in
the New York Tombs. The rumor that la has
made a disclosure to the District Attorney, re-
garding the murder of DR.. Burdell, is contra
dicted. To a reporter who visited lin yester-
day, he said; " My character is gone my bus
mess in Brooklyn is broken up my wife has
left me have neither money nor friends, and
1 do not care to expose myself to tho derision
of my enemies. Besides, have long had a
desire to live, for a time, the life of recluse;
and although the Tombs is not the most des-
rable place in the world, yet am well treated
here, l do not find it all uncomfortable. No,
sir; have not made any efforts to get bail
and shall not. don't know that l could get t

w The Chattanooga Advertiser hn


ev The Chattanooga Advertiser has
again been diving into the House Journal Of
last session in search of Col. Hatton, and at
the rate it is going on We are afraid it will
entirely. A few weeks ago the Advertiser
man censured the American nominee because
he had voted against the establishment of n
Criminal Court at Chattanooga--a tribunal
for which there can be no sort of use in that
well-ordered and highly cultivated commu.
nifty. Having been picked up on that, he
now discovers, after another weeks laborious
investigation, that Mr.. Hatton voted for
Nose Whites transfer bill. Suppose he did
what then? So did la dozen other gentle
men, out of compliment to Mr.. White, who
knew the bill could not pass, and who would
have voted against it had such course been
necessary to secure its defeat. We were fully
posted in regard to the position of every
member of the House on that bill some time
before it received its quietus. There were
not more than a short half dozen men in the
Legislature who seriously thought of its
passage into 4 law, and there was no outside
pressure for it, except what little those two
distinguished democratic institutions, Col.
ChurchweIl and the Nashville Union and
American, could bring to bear. The Adver-
tiser man threatens to publish what we said
about the transfer bill and those who advo-
Gated its passage. We commend him to do
so-we shall be gratified to see our articles
on the subject in his columns even al this late
day, although we believe he maintained a
mastery silence on the subject while the
bill was before the Legislature. Indeed, oc.
casional extracts from the Post into the Ad.
vertiser would add to the interest of the latter,
as little truth would supply deficiency APP
parent in almost every number and contribute
to make up variety which its columns sell
dom possess. For the present, friend Cooper,
allow US to call your attention to an impor-
tant condition of the science o. posture,
which you have unfortunately overlooked,
namely: that in diving your head into the
Journals in search Of capital against the
American nominee, you have made another
prominent feature Of your person ludicrously
conspicuous to the public. Amt you afraid
of being indicted at the next term Of the
Criminal Court for such indecent exposure
of yourselfl

PIkEvILLE, May IL, 1857.
Mr.. Editor: The Americans and old line
Whigs-at least those of them who have
not thrown themselves, body and breaches,
into the arms of the Democracy--are certain
ly entitled to candidate for Congress in this
district. 1t is true we are in a minority; bu:
does the good christian give over fighting
the devil because the odds are against him?
Verify, no. On the contrary, he fights with
more energy and perseverance and generally
succeeds after awhile, either in vanquishing
his enemies entirely or in winning them over
TO his side. So with us-we are at the bot
tom Of the wheel now, but that is exactly
the place to rise from; and II we but work
earnestly and faithfully, all together, veil
make the "turn" as certain rs what goes up
must come down.. So let us have candi.

"work them up" We must have officers
no army can fight successfully without lead
ers, and we nre going forth to do battle for
the great principles of American freedom
TO ward off the blows struck by our mistaken
brothers, and to guard our inner sanctuary
from ruthless hands. Let us show full
front then; and to begin, let us choose our
second in command. Our first is at the head
of the regiment. Let us have candidate for
Congress. No need Of Conventon-so if

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
For the Post.


Mr.. z: S.-Sir: In answer to your inquiry
through the Post of the 18th instant, allow
me to say. upon the authority of the Consti.
tuition of the United States TART. lst. Sec.
sth) that the Legislature of the State of
Tennessee, or any other State, has no power
to fix the standard of Weights and Measures.
This power is vested in Congress alone. In
conformity TO the Constitution, Congress long
since fixed the standard of weights and meas.
ures. In doing this the Winchester bushel
(of England) was adopted as the standard for
dry measure. The Winchester bushel meas.
ures 2l5042 cubic inches, and contains
1924 pounds (Avoirdupois) distilled water.
No other measure for a bushel has been re.
cognised as correct since 1886. The bushel
is subdivided into 4 pecks, gallons, 80
quarts or "a pints One gallon dry measure
measures 26s.s cubic inches; one gallon liquid
measure measures 2Sl cubic inches. Hence
it will be perceived that the dry measure
quart is larger and contains more than the
liquid measure quart. You can measure
grain with liquid measure vessels about as
well as you can weigh sugar. coffee, iron, DC,
with Troy weights, or Apotbecaries weights
Yet, il you wish to eonfound the two meas.
ures and gage the bushel with liquid meas
ure quart, the bushel will contain 81 quarts
and 1896 gills of this measure.
In 1896 Congress directed the Secretary
OF the Treasury to cause a complete set of
all the weights and measures adopted as
standards to be delivered to the Governor of
each State in the Union. or to such person as
he might appoint, for the use Of the State.
respectively. ANY county in the State may
apply to the Governor of the State for com.
plete set of these weights and measures,
which will be furnished to such person as the
county may appoint to receive them. know
not whether McMinn county has set of
standard weights and measures or not, but
any man can take Gunter's scale, OF any 9th
err correct decimal measure. and gage his own
half bushel. S.D.S.

WHIsrLISG.-The man who don't believe
in whisting, should 90 step further, and
put muzzle on bobolinks and hooking birds.
Whstling is great institution. 1t oils the
wheels of care, and supplies the place of sun
shine. A man who whistles has good heart
under his shirt front. Such man not only
works more willingly than any other man,
but he works more constantly. A whistling
cobbler will earn as much again money as a
cordwairer who gives way TO low spirits and
Indigestion. Mean or avari;ious men never
whistle. Who ever heard Of Il whistler among
the sharp practitioners of Wall street! We
pause for an answer. The man who attacks
whisiling, throws stone at hlarity, and
would, if he could, rob June of its roses
August of its meadow larks. Such man
should be looked to. Let him be looked to.

ENDORSING THE AMERICAN PARTY.

Roger Pryor, the late able editor of The
Richmond Enquirer, and at present of the
"Soufh," in late issue of that paper speaks
thus wise with reference to the Democratic
doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty:
No; we utterly repudiate it as the most de-
testable heresy ever sought to be foisted up
on federal system. Our doctrine is that
the people of territory have no right TO de-
terminc the character of their domestic insti-
tutions and to exercise the. prerogative of
sovereignty until they have acquired the re-
quisite population to enable them 10 frame a
State Constitution.
When being further Intercepted as to
whether foreigners should be placed upon an
equality with native born citizens, he assures
his readers that his political creed is much
older than Mr.. Buchanan's Inaugural, and
speaks out as follows of alien suffrage:
"Our position is uneqnivocally this: that it
is palpable infringement of the spirit and
letter of the Constitution to permit foreign
ers to exercise the elective franchise, in eth
er the States or Territories before, by nat
uralizntion, they are made citizens, and that
the practice of many of the States in confer
ring the privilege, which forms On essential
element of citizenship, upon unnaiuralized
foreigners, is as much to be reprobated, as
the action Of the Legislature of New York,
which extends the same privilege to ne
groes.
