ment will be given to the expeditionists; for
whether successful or not in being repaid in gold,
the addition to our stock Of knowledge respect
ing the country will fully repay the expense Of
the undertaking. If reliance can be placed on
men Of veracity, gold has been found there in
large quantities.

The Cause Of The War in Europe.

Austria claims that she rightly
owns and controls Lombardy and
Venice; that she has a right TO con-
troll them as she sees fit; that in Or
der to this she must maintain with
the several neighboring Italian States
such an influence as viii render
Lombarde.VeDitia sovereignty safe.
Therefore she keeps ny a partial
military occupancy Of the central
Italian States and virtually rules in
all Italy. Sardinia is the only large
Italian province which is an exception.
There Austria has no power, and the
policy of Sardinia, which is favorable
to the establishment of constitutional
Governments 10 Italy, is hostile to
that of Austria, which tends to the
maintenance Of the strictest military
despotism. Sardinia and France,
sympathiziDg with her, on the con-
Irary, claim that tie Austrian occu-
patton of Italy is injurious in its eff
lects on the Italian States, prevents
the development of that country,
and is virtually in violation of the
treaties and compacts Of 1915. They
demand the abandonment of the A u.s.
TITAN occupation Of Italy and The
Sandman frontier, and that Austria
shall cease 20 exercise any mere con.
troll in Italian affairs than the other
great Powers. These demands Aus
iria refuses TO comply with, alleging
that her policy in Italy is necessary
to htI Own protection in her own de-
tendencies of Venice and Lombardy
These matters have been 10 contro
sersy for three years. France anC
Sardinia proposed in 1856 tn,
consideration Of this subject by ,ht
Congress Of tho European Powers
Austria would not consent to this
Diplomatic negotiations were carried
Oh, however, between France an(
Austria, but the difference has grown
wider and wider the longer the dis
cussion has continued, until now
they propose tc settle the whole alfail
by a resort TO arms.

An Old Matter Again Set Right.

=
We have been shown letter from
a gentleman in Marshall county, in
which it is stated that q report is
current in that county, and ir Lin
coin, that the Hon. James II. Thorn
as, in 1851, in the contest for Con-
gress of that year, had, by a letter
published 10 the American, dispar-
aged his competitor, Hon. W. II.
Polk, and cOmplimented himself
Without intending to t4ke any part
in the contest between Messrs. Thorn
as aud Polk, it is but simple justice
| that We should say, as We now do,
that Mr.. Thomas never, on any occa-
sion, wrote any such letter or COM
munication for this paper or its pre-
decessor. and that he never asked
us to publish anything to promote
his election in 1851, or to ipjure
Major Polk.
In the hope that it will obviate
the necessity of another reference
to this subject, we add, that, in 1851,
there were Several candidates for
Congress in the Maury District.
A Convention at Lawrencburg NOM
mated Col. Jonas Z. Thomas for the
place. He declined the nomination.
In publishing bis letter of deolsnsion,
the American. on the authority Of
a letter fFom Columbia, stated that
this declension left but one candidate
lin the field : Maj. w. II. Polk-snd
urged, for the sake Of harmony, that
no other nomination should be made.
This article was greatly complained
of by the friends of Col. Thomas;
and in an article on the goth OF
May, 1851, "!or The purpose Of put
ting the matter where we found it,
we wrote another article. into which We
incorporated al extract from private
letter. complaining Of our course
AS unjust to Hon. james IL. Thorn
MS aud Gel. G. II. Nixon, and asking
Us to correct the mistake of The
former article. The only thing i'm
proper in this was in our public use
OF n private letter, not intended for
publication. We used it with no
improper or uuki2d motive, but as
the easiest way Of setting our own
position towards the candidates right
This is the whole story. The letter
being private, We have rot given Up
the name of The writer, because no
one had the right 10 demand it, and
because the whole responsibility Of
the publication belonged properly to
ps, as editor of the American
| Union and american.

Arithmeiical Puzzle.

Suppose a man is thirty years
of age, and he has child one year Of
age. He is thirty times older than
his child. When the child is thirty
years old, the father being sixty, is
only twice IS old as bis child. When
the child is sixty the father is ninety.
and therefore only one-third older
than his child. When the child is
ninety, the father is one hundred and
twenty, and therefore only one-lourth
older than bis child. Thus you see
The child is gradually but surely
gaining on the parent, and as he must
certainly continue to come nearer
and nearer, in time he must overtake
him. The question therefore, is,
suppose it were possible for them to
live long enough, hcw old would the
father be when the child overlook
him and became the same age?

FRlGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

Yesterday, at the Catholic Church,
some twenty persons were engaged

rived fiom Pittsburg the evening be-
fore. There was a nindlass erected
Oh the ground, to which was attached
a snatch-box and shieve. Immedi-

to which was attached another snatch

means Of strong ropes, working

Important Decision on Tax Titles.

We thank legal friend for the
following important informa ton:
The Supreme Cosrt Of Tennessee,
at the present term Of the Court at
Jackson, has hit it--ihat a tax sale
for State aud county taxes is void, j!
the advertisement of sale does not
state the name Of the true owner OF
the land. Under former decisions
Of this Court, it had been held
that the judgment Of condemnation
was conclusive of the regularity OF
the prior proceedings against any
person claiming agains. the tax sale,
unless-such persons showed that he
had actually paid the taxes for the
year for which the land was sold.
And so the Court still holds in ODE
dience to the terms of the celebrated
tax act of 1874. But as to all pro-
ceediBgs subsequent to the judgment
Of condemnation, they are open to
objection for any material Irregular
Ity, although the owner NAV not
have paid the taxes; and on chapter
ISS of 1914, which was passed
subsequent in time to the celebrated
act Of that year, referred to above.
| it is required that the tax adyer-
tisement shall give the name OF the
true owner Of the land. as essential to
the validity Of the sale. and by an
other act, the advertisement must
follow the collectors report, aud
Judgment Of condemnation.
So fall to the ground all specula-
lions Of tax purchasers, in cases
where the land is not reported, con.
demned and advertised in the name 0!
the true owners.
This decision is made 10 The eise
OF the Planters Bank vs.. Miles
