in the employ of the c., II. & d. railroad,
on Thursday morning, stepped aside near a
switch below the Union Depot at Dayton,
and on tuning round, stepped on the track
just as "a locomotive was passing. He was
thrown under the wheels and both legs
were terribly crushed-one was torn en-
tirely off and the, other only held together
by few igaments. Of course recovery
was very doubtful. He is spoken of as a

.JeG Davis Health Improving.

+ New YORK, July 2S-The Herald's Fort
ress Monroe correspondence of the 26th
says a second hours walk inside the fort
was yesterday morning granted to JEFF.
Davis. The same guard attended him as in
his first. walk, and the same reticence was
kept up On his part and that of his guard.
The salutary effects of this outdoor exercise
on the spirits of Davis is already apparent.
If they are continued there can be no doubt
Of his health improving, if it is not wholly
restored. Renewed rumors reach us of his
speedy removal to Washington for trial,
but no credit is given them. t

Complaints of New " orlk NIer-
"a chants Against the Treasury De-


New YORK, July 2S- The Heralds
Washington special has the following: The
complaints against the Treasury Depart
ment in regard to the New York Custom
House eXactions are found to- be made with
out the sanction of the officials here. The
sum of one cent per pound on cotton charg-
ed for Custom House fees is not authorized
by law. This charge having been made at
the New York Custom House in addition to
the internal revenue import of two cents
per pound, paid on all cotton arriving from
the South, the parties so charged will be
entitled to recover the same back on appli-
cation duly authenticated. A good deal of
trouble, 1t appears, is oc6asioned between
the New York merchants and Collector
Draper, by the arbitrary regulation which
compels every article of merchandise from
the South to be weighed, inspected and
carted by Custom House officials. The
carriage is regarded as unnecessarily oppres-
sive, the whole system being without the
authority of law, presenting the practical
result of imposing a New York tariff on
goods from other States. These regulations
are loudly complained of from all the mer-
chants, and very curious suggestions are
current as to the disposition made of the
vast sums realized from these exactions.

9 NASHVILLE, July 2S-This mornings Press
publishes letter from Gen. Thomas to Coy.
BroWnlow. Thomas says: l am only wait
ing report from Col. De Bassy to. determine
my action in the case of Emerson Etheridge.
II he has been guilty of the language
charged against him, he is clearly amenable
to the military authorities in absence of
civil, to be tried before Military Commits
sion. My attention has been called to
speechesof other. parties, but as yet L have
not seen any report that would Justify inter-
ference by the military authority. If how
ever, there be, in the Judgment of the Gov
ernor, at any time, necessity for such inter-
ference, in consequence of inability or in
disposition on the part of the civil author
tiles OF the state to take action, the eX-.
preston OF such desire on the part Of the
Governor. stating the inability or indispo-
sitlon OF the civil authorities to act will be,
sufficient. L will cause the parties com;
planned of to be attended to according IT,
the nature of theircase. The State of Tenl +
nessee is under martial law, and military
authority will not be resorted to, unless the
civil authorities failto act, either froiniin-
ability or indisposition. Even in the
event of failure of the civil authorities to
do their duty, the military should refrain
from interfering in all minor cases, because
the military should, as far as possible, sus-,
tain the civil government, and never assume
its functions, unless in cases in which
prompt action is necessary to insure the
public safety. In conclusion, the Governor
may rest assured he will be fully sus-,
tanned in carrying out the policy of the
State and General Governments as long as
troops are on duty in the State.
The Union says Governor Brownlow has
called upon General Thomas to send troops
into the various counties to preserve order
and protect the ballot-box.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTAL FIREMAN KILL
ED.-Early yesterday morning, while the
employees of the Central Ohio railroad
were engaged in switching cars at the
Union Depot in this city, three cars loaded
with railroad iron and standing in the
freight yard of the L. M. & C.. 6 x. road,
dwere run against, and started at rapid
speed along the down-grade of the latter,
till at short distance west of Franklinton,
they encountered the engine'o the Night
Express passenger train from Cincinnati,
due here aty3:20 A. M. The collision was,
of course, sudden and tremendous. The
engine ran into the forward freight car,
splitting it partially in twain, and throw
ing sixteen long rails Of railroad iron from
= the freight car on one side of the engine.
IA fireman by the name of Thomas Rapef,
was caught between the tank of the engine
nnd the iron rails, and instantly killed. He
resided near Cincinnati, and his remains
have been sent home. Fortunately, no
other person was injured. The damage
to the engine and the Express train was
but slight. After the three freight cars had
started down the grade, an engine was dis
patched from the depot in pursuit, but was
unable to overtake them before they collided
with the engine of the Express train.
