Tribute Of Respect 10 the Late
Chief Justice Taney.

A over the country the various courts q
justice and members of the bar have paic
fitting aud mcrltcd tributes 10 the memory
of the venerable and honorpd Chief Justice
who on the evening OF The 10Th inst de.
parted this life, IN the eighty-cighth year Of
his age. Want Of space has prevented Us
noticing the dccoase Of this illustrious and
upright Judge until now.
Judge TANEY was born in Calvert Coun.
", Maryland, on 81. Patrick Day, lT77,
aud was the defendant of an English Cath.
olic family which cmgrated TO the Province
Of Maryland in 1850. He entered Dickinson
College and graduated in 1906 Commenc.
ing in 1896 the study Of law at Annapolis,
then the scene Of the forensic efforts of ,JEN.
NISGs, LUTHER MARTIN, CooKE, KEY, Ma.
son and PfNKNEY, he was admitted TO the
bar in 1889, and began TO practice law in his
native county. Ia 1901, in the twenty.fourth
year OF his age, he represented that county
aas Delegate in the General Assembly of
Md; and in the same year removed 10
Frederick County. The force of his charac.
ter and his great professional talent soon Sc.
cured to him large practice at the bar.
and IN 1916 he was further honored by be.
ing elected to the Senate Of the State. In
l5ZZ, seeking more extended professional
sphere, he came to the city Of Baltimore,
and, advancing steadily in honor and repu.
tatlon, was in 1897, made Attorney General
OF Maryland. In 1881 he was called to the
Attorney. Generalshp Of the United States,
BY President jackson. In 1893 he became
Secretary Of the Treasury, under the same
Administration, and in 1896 was appointed
to the Supreme Court Of the United States,
and entered upon the duties of that high
Office In January, 1887 For more than
twenty seven years he occupied the highest
OF the Supreme Court and the common
opinion Of his countrymen bear witness tc
his faithful performance Of the great duties
Of his station.
\ Dying in his robe Of office, he has left il
pure and unspotted as when he received il;
and his memory will be cherished among the
most exalted and pure of the illustrious mer
OF the nation: He was fearless judge and
his loss at this time is calamity that add.
another blow to the nisfortuncs of the
country. Plum DeaLer

Abolition Rascality.
HOSPITAL No, 2 MURFREEsBoRo,
October 18th. 1864

..... October 18th, 1864. !
FRIEND HENRY:-After seeing the fraud,
which were practiced here yesterday at the
election, could not refrain from giving you
some idea, at least, of the way us Demo.
Gratis are treated. We had no tickets, except
a few which were sent to a member of the
ll5th q. V. |. and myself One demo.
crat, the Surgeon in charge of this hospital,
sent for tickets, but they did not come.
But the abolitionists had enough to supply
a whole county. One of our boys went up
to vote, but he had forgotten the name oi
his township; so the judges told him to
leave his ticket, so and find out the name
of his township, and then come back, and
he did so; but his ticket was gone and
could not be found, so he told them it had
been torn up and he would not vote
Every democrat who went up to vote could
easily see that it panied them to have such
votes cast they would open the ticket
look at it, and then ask lot of questions.
They first tried to bully the democrats out
of their votes. If the Democrats don't
bring us tickets in November we will get
none, for if they are intrusted to the mail
we will never get them.
We might write our own tickets if we
knew who was running, but so many would
get the names spelled wrong, and others
would get spunky because there is no tickets,
and think you folks don care anything for
their votes, so that is the way the soldier S
vote is cast for the Abolitionists. Send us
tickets, and if we get a fair election the ar
MY goes for Little Mac But if the Demo-
crats don't send honest men down here to
see the thing done up fair, we will lose thou
sands of votes, and the meanest kind of
tricks will be played by the miserable fanat-
les. They always have an abundance of tick =.
cts, while we are left with none.
If the election was carried on every place
like it was here, there was about fifteen
thousand Democrat soldiers who did not get
to vote. But nope it will be arranged diff.
ferently at the next election.
Yours &c.
JAMES ROWLAND.
We being members of Hospital No. 2,

THE 10TH REGIMENT.-It is believed the
10th Regiment will be mustered out this
week. OF those in the two companies from
this county, less than one-third are now re-
turning to their homes and their kindred.
These men went into the service with
out bounty, or any hope of pecuniary gain.
They were prompted by patriotic motives to
maintain 'fhe Constitution as it is, and re-
gain the Union as it was" They have seen
hard service, and under all circumstances
they have demeancd themselves with BRAY
cry and courage. While they have thus
faithfully performed their part, every obsta-
Gle has been interposed by the President to
prevent the accomplishments of the objects
for which these men volunteered. He has
changed the war from contest for the
preservation of the Union to a crusade for
Niggers and Cotton. He has pursued such
line of policy as united the South in Sc
cession and rendered the suppression of the
rebellion next to impossible. By the en-
forcement of tyrannical edicts for the at
tainment of political ends, he has filled the
North with contention and strife. In his
eagerness to abolish slavery, he has made
good every charge which the rebels urged
in justification of secession For the ac-
quirement of power he has violated every
pledge given to the soldiers and Mockaded
every avanue to the accomplishment of the
noble purpose for which these men periled
their lives. The soldiers are deserving of
all praise The President should receive
the execration Of every man who loves this
country.

THE NEXT DRAFT.-How we have toll.
ed, given our money and coaxed to rid our.
selves of Lincoln's two conscriptions of the
last year. Holmes county has paid nearly
5000, 900 for this alone, At this rate two
years more of Lincoln would almost bank.
rupt the county. TO take the other alter.
native and allow the men to be conscripted
will in less than two years take off our en-
tire able bodied male population.
The way to avoid future conscriptions is
to defeat Lincoln on the Sth of November,
and if the people work as vigorously for the
accomplishment of this object as they did
to rid themselves Of the draft, the work vii
be accomplished
