8 THE FORREST TRAGEDY.-Th Memphis dr.
T qus of the Sd instant gives the following YER
sion. of the killing ofa negro by General For
rest: - ~ -
A letter has been published from a. N.
Henderson, Esq, a well known citizen of this
city, which gives detailed account of a fatal
encounter between General Forrest and ne
gro man, on his plantation in Mississippi.
The circumstances are briefly these; The
General, on reading in some paper that case
Of Asiatic cholera had occurred recently at Mo-
bile, went to the negroes, who were in the
midst of a holiday play, and told them OF this
case of cholera, advising then, at the same
time; to drain off some stagnGrtpoolS OF water
in the vicinity. They all ag. eed to the pro-
priety of the suggestion, and went at the work
most cheerfully. At this juncture Thomas
Edwards, d negro man who had not been pres
ent during the conversation, came up. The
General explained the matter to him, and ad-
Isvised him to drain some filthy pools near his
quarters. lie did not reply, but passed into
his cabin and commenced abusing his own
wife, who was confined to her bed from bru-
tality previously inflicted: she had. been the
frequent victim of his violence ever since they
had gone to the place. The General, on hear
ing him commense his abuse, walked into the
cabin, and after reminding him Of his course,
told him that he should not beat his wife any
more. The negro replied that "lIe would be
id if he did not thrash MS wife whenever
he pleased that he did not care d-n' for
General Forrest, and that he would do as he
pleased" etc, at the same time assuming
threatening attitude, and adding insulting
language. Finally, the General struck him
over the head with broom. The negro i'm
tnediately assaulted the general with knife,
wopnding him in the hand. The General, in
self defence, picked up an axe which happened
to be in the cabin, and struck Edward over
the head with it, killing him instantly. 1t is
evident that the General, in defending q wife
from the violence of a brutal husband, found
Ehimselfin position which required that h,
should take the life ofanother to save his OWL.
The negroes on the plantation approved :le
Generals conduct. He. Immediately dis
patched for all the citizens in the neighbor-
hood, being particular to include Northern
men, that they might sit on the Coroner In
quest and the affaii be duly Investigated

state Treasury.

The Ohio Statssman, speaking of the
present condition Of the State Treasury,
says: f9u saii o3 iowa

members found it necessary to draw some
money out Of the Treasury, they ascer-
tanned that there we're no funds in the

Treasury is not such as the Auditors an
nual report authorized the public to be.
live; and nothing short Of full expose
will satisfy the people that every thing
about the Treasury is just as it should be;
for the reasonable presumption is, that if
the finances Of the State have been man
aged with the requisite wisdom there
would not be deficiency in the Treasu-
ry, causing the members of the Legisla.
ture to turn away with their unpaid Or
ders in their hands.
In this circumstance, the people should
be quick to recognize the absolute neces-
sity of speedy change in every depart
ment of the State Government. Time
and again have they been told that their
material interests called for such change;
but they have remained iDcredulous, and
have persistently voted to retain the pres

consider the vote by which the partial ap.
preparation bill was passed-the object
Of the reconsideration being to strike
from the bill the appropriations for State

~ Mr. May said: 'a'' 'FiS'''ai 'l' ~ q q
That consistency with his advocacy
some days ago Of an investigation into
other State matters, in addition to the
fact Of his meeting during the noon re-
cess, with MI. Nevins, one Of the parties
charged, who desired the contemplated
committee Of inquiry, prompted him to
favor reconsideration. After which re.
consideration, unless the alleged frauds
with their remedy by an economical in
vestigation, are made apparent in diff.
ferent light from the present, be could
not but deem it useless trouble and ex.
pense to go further. The printing and
binding contracts had been given out for
two years from November, 1864, and
more than half Of the time hei elapsed
and the greater part of the work done =
About the sixth of April, 1865, com.
mittee of the House investigated and
took the testimony as to the frauds
charged, which is now before us. From
the defendants evidence, as we'll as from
a portion Of that introduced against them,
the contract prices appear to be thuse Of
the then and present rates. 1t is well
known that the tariff of printers and
binders prices is almost three times as
high as that Of three years ago. The
law making appropriations for 1865, and
first quarter o! 1865 was signed by the
Speaker of the House April l3, 1865 =
In that law there was appropriated on
thes' contracts 100000 for printing, and
$40 900 for binding. The law and the
investi. alton both originated in the
House 1t is therefore fairly presumed
that the House knew the facts elected
more fully than we do now, and that a
further inquiry and proceedings were
then deemed unnecessary hence, the ap
propriations we're made on that day, be-
ing the last day of the session. With
tue facts brought from the investigation
70 the knowledge Of the Legislative and
State officials, there has been since, and
during the present session, a large amount
Of work done on these contracts. What
Is this but acquiescence in, and ratifca-
ton of, these co.called fraudulent con-
tricts? The State has had the benefit Of
them. However, for the sake of setting
tho matter fairly at rest, he was willing to
experiment SO far as to vote for recon.
sideration, If such reconsideration was in.
sisted upon.

The Mammoth Cave.

Colonel Croshan to whose family this
great ratural curiosity belongs, was res
i1ent of this city. We have learned that
he went to Europe some thirty years ago,
and louud himself frequently questioned
as to the wonders of the Mammoth Cave,
place he had never visited, and Of which
he had heard but little at home, though
living within ninety miles of it. He
went there on his return, and the idea
struck him to purchase it, and make it q
family inheritance. In fifteen minutes
bargaining he bought it for $40 900 and
shortly alter he was offered 100000 for
his purchase. In his will he tied it up in
his family for two generations, thus ap.
pending its celebrity to his pane. There
are one thousand acres in the estate,
though the cave probably under the pro.
perty Of a great number o! other land
owners For fear of those who might
dig down and establish an entrance to
the cave on their own property "a mans
farm extending up to the zenith and
down to the madrier,) great vigilance is
exercised to prevent such subterranean
surveys and measurements as would en-.
able one b sink ashait with any certainty.
The cave extends ten or twelve miles in
several directions, aud it has been con

THAT'S True.

The Mew York Times, in commenting
on the assault of Thaddeus Stephens up
on President johnson, utters this truth
"If these assaults upon the Constitu.
ton and the Executive are TO be contin-
ued, the Union will be in greater danger
from the doings Of professed friends than
from the Vaccinations of its most malig.
nant enemies"
Aud it is the opinion Of the Times,
that if the Union party cannot restrain
the "radical section,' the usefulness to
the country of "the Union party" is at
an end. It is folly to talk about "the
Union party" restraining the "radical
section" thereof. 1t cannot be done, ex.
Cept by the people Withholding their sup
port from that party. That is the only
