BLOODY TINES IN TENNESSEE. =
From the Louisville Journal we con
dense an account of recent bloody
afray at Mitchelvilp, Tennessee.
It seems that two negroes, both
suitors for the hand of darkey
beauty, got jealous Of each other,
and to such q degree that Charley
Givins stabbed and killed his rival,
David Groves. Givins was arrested
and brought before Esquire Samuel
Byrum for trial We now give the
JournolS account:
A large and boisterous crowd was
present, composed Of the friends of
law and order, and few lawless cha
racters who were determined to de-
fend the prisoner. Among the pri-
soner's adherents were the three
desperate brothers, Press, Bill and
Theodore McDale. The latter outlaw
has been the hero of so many depre-
dations and infractions of the law,
that he assumed the captaincy of the
band. The case was disposed of in
the preliminary examination, and
Givins was remanded to the custody
of the officer, for further trial before
the higher courts. Bill McDale here
inaugurated the anticipated difficulty,
when Albert @. Byrum, the constable
in charge Of the prisoner, moved to
the arrest OF McDale, and called upon
the citizens present to assist. McDale
drew a pistol and fired at the officer,
when general fight ensued. Both
parties were heavily armed, and ready
for the encounter. The fight lasted
for some moments, and ended with
the killing of Press McDale, the
mortal wounding of Bill McDale,
whose body was pierced by three
balls, and the mortal wounding of
Officer A. G. Byrum, who was shot
twice through the body and once
through the thigh.
Esquire Byrum was very severely
cut on the head by knife in the
hands of one of the desperadoes, but
his wound is not considered danger
Gus. Almost every man in either
party received painful stabs or pistol
wounds.

The Internal Revenue Report.

Mr. Rollins, the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, reports that the
amount received by him in 1866, less
amounts refunded for drawbacks, is
1910, 3S1, 14004, being ninety nine
millions and odd beyond the receipts
of 1865. This, in face of some re-
duction in the rates of taxation since
last year, shows that the country has
been very active. In regard to the
subjects of taxation, and the returns
made, there are some interesting
facts. Tie taxation on banks, divi-
dends, circulation, deposits, capital,
&c, produces S7,641, 161.77, being
81, ,2S6, 91S. rs less than the receipts
from the same source in 1865. Rail
roads bring III about the same sum
as in 1865. Insurance companies
increase hundred thousand dollars
or So Salaries of persons in the SER
vice OF the United States increase
the taxation from that source nearly
O million of dollars. Revenue stamp
receipts have increased nearly q mil
lion of dollars. Licenses, or special
tax, increase five million and half.
The income tax is increased over
forty millions of dollars. Iron and
steel, Notwithstanding reduction
this iyear, yield considerably more
than million and quarter beyond
the total receipts from those articles
last year. Petroleum and coal oil
increase two millions and q quarter.
The increase upon cigars is not quite
four hundred thousand dollars.
Chewing and smoking tobacco in
crease three millions. and three
quarters. Fermented liquors increase
a million and half, and distilled
spirits thirteen millions, notwith-
standing the widespread evasions of
the law
In regard to the estimated receipts
for the fiscal year, it must be remem-
bered that much of the increase re-
ported for 1866 was under the late
law, and there will be material re-
ductions. Taking a full view of the
subject, the Commissioner estimates
that if there is no change in the law
as it at present stands, the receipts
for 1867 will be $2S5, 100000
Mr.. Rollins makes some sugges-
tions as to amendments of the law
One is that the returns upon in
comes and carriages, gold watches,
&C., mentioned in schedule A, shall
be made earlier than the present
time, which is the first Monday in
May, in each year. He recommends
that butchers, plumbers and gas
filters shall be assessed Oh their
sales the same as dealers. He also
recommends that the exemptions of
incomes liable to tax shall be, in
creased from 5000 to 81, 900, with a
like exemption to officers of the
United States Government who pay
a tax on salaries.

SURRATr The Montreal Herald
publishes extracts from letters written
by citizen of Montreal, who served
In the American army, and afterward
was in the Papal service. When in
the South he became acquainted with
John Il. Surratt, whom he identified
IN Italy, serving in the Zouaves.
This person informed the American
Embassador at Rome, who sent for
instructions to Mr.. Seward. In con-
versation Surratt is reported to have
said that the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln was planned at Rich
mond, and with the assent of JEFF.
Davis. This informant has gone to
Washington.
We would give little for any state
ments this or any other man might
make. Surratt might think that his
duplicating Mr.. Davis in the assassi-
nation might mitigate his owl pun
ishments but we do not believe that
there are a dozen men in the North
ern States who believe anything of
the sort.
The New York Herald, as usual, is
sensational about Surratt. Its Wash
lngton correspondent says
1T is expected that John 81. Sur
ratt, lately arrested in Egypt as an
accomplice in the assassination of
President Lincoln, will make certain
revelations that will inculpate parties
hitherto unsuspected. If there Should
be sudden departures from this sec
tlon of prominent persons who have
no particular reasons for going
abroad, it may reasonably be attri-
buted to this cause
Which of course is all CANNON.

cit is the duty of the press every
where, as well in the South as the
North, to use it's influence for the ex-
tinguishment of those sectional pre-
judices which have caused so much
misery and distraction in the country.
1t is natural enough that the South
ern people should be profoundly
incensed by the studious misrepre-
sentations which are made of their
character and conduct by mendacious
correspondents of the radical press.

sometimes eliminating in murder,
which occasionally occur in the North.
But, If calm refutation of these
SANDERS is not likely to neutralize
their poison, still less is an angry and
violent one. In any event they should
not provoke to general and indiscrimi
nate retort, for that would be as lln-
just os it is impolitic. Human nature
is the same in oil sections, and the
people of this country, whether
North or South, are the same race
spring from common ancestry. in
heriting the virtues and defects of
their ancestors only modified by the
different circumstances in which they
have been placed. Neither section
can claim monopoly of courage,
generosity, or any Of the great heroic
qualities of the Anglo-Saxon race,
and any assumption by either, to that
effect, is simply ridiculous, and is
never INDUCED by those who have
met each other in the fierce tug of
battle. If the organs of public senti-
ment III both sections would take as
their models General Grant and Gen
eral Lee, and induce the people of
the different sections to entertain the
same intelligent and respectful esti-
mate of each other that is held bv
those distinguished leaders, power
tul influence would be exerted upon
the restoration of national harmon
and good feeling

"THE PEOPLE. The radical jour
nails are laboring to make it believe
that the people have decided for
Congress, and against the President.
Count all the legal voters of the coun-
try, and the statement is erroneous.
It is only correct by counting out
100000. voting Southern people
and 100000 who voted against
Congress in the North. To silence
tens of thousands of voters in States
like Tennessee, Maryland and Missou-
RI, and to refuse any hearing to the
people in ten other States, is not to
represent the people or to speak for
the people.

ALABAMA the 9th, the Cover
uor of Alabama, sent message to
the Legislature, stating that events
OF vital character are now trans
piring, and with reference to our
relations with the Union, he express
ed apprehension that the stability of
our affairs would be suddenly broken
up. The radicals he said had deter
mined at all hazards to enforce their
terms OF restoration, and threaten to
reverse our progress towards tran
guilty. He thought our full resto-
ration would follow the adoption of
the Constitutional amendment.
On the 7th, the Legislature rejected
the amendment by vote of 27 to

The 'PARDoSINa Power OF THE
PRESIDENT Referring to the action
of the House on Monday, in passing
a bill repeating that clause of the con-
fiscation act which relates to the
power of granting pardons by the
President, the National AnteUiqencer.
of Wednesday, says:
For this unseemly haste there is not
the slightest shadow Of excuse. The
bill has to be in the hands of the
President several days before it can
become q law, even after receiving
the sanction of the Senate; so that if
intended to head off proclamation
of amnesty, the hurry accomplishes
nothing. But the power of pardon
is conferred by the Constitution, and
cannot be stripped from the Execu-
tive by any more legislative action;
SO that the party movement of the
House secures no result but to bring
into prominence its undignifed hos
tility to the Executive. Of piece
with this is the proposition of Judge
Kelley to create o department. of in
ternal revenue, the appointees of
which shall be named by the Supreme
Court.

Confession IN THE CHURCH OF ENG
LASD.-The fact that the Roman
Catholic custom OF confession has
been Of late years gaining ground
among the High Church party in
England, has often been asserted. At
length Dr. Pusey himself, in letter
to the London Times, acknowledges
it and evidently rejoices over it. He
says:
"The use of confession among us
all-priests and peoples very large.
1t pervades every rank, from the peer
to the artisan or the peasant. In the
course of this quarter of o century,
Ito instance my own experience,
which [ must know,) I have been
applied to to receive confession from
persons in every rank, of every age,
old as well as young, in every pro
fession, even those which you would
thing least accessible to it-army,
navy, medicine, law"

AFFAIRS AT WAsHISGToN.-Th
Louisville Courier, says:
An intelligent correspondent at
Washington, who has superior ad-
vantages for obtaining correct infor-
nation, and in whose judgment we
repose much confidence, gives us an
insight into the probable programme
of the radicals and the position of
the President. After extensive
inquiry he is decidedly Of the opinion
that the radicals have not the most
remote intention of impeaching the
President. He believes, however,
that Legislation both constitutional
and unconstitutional will be resorted
to to impair the Presidents power by
reducing his patronage. How far
they may go in this direction remains
to be seen. But it is very certain
that all the bravado and threats about
impeachment will amount to- nothing.
In the effort to retain the offices by
the radicals, the leaders will probably
be disposed to disregard the require
ments Of the Constitution. but it is
yet a question whether or not they
will be sustained by the better men
of the party. 1t is not altogether
certain what the course of the Presi-
dent will be upon minor points, but
upon the great questions he will
stand firm.

The TEST OATH UNcoNsr1rUr1o

The TEST OATH UNcossr1rUr1oS-
AL.-The Washington National Re
publican, Of Saturday, says:
The Supreme Court of the United
States have agreed upon decision
upon the constitutionality of the test
oath. The question came up on the
cases presented in regard to the ex-
action OF the oath from attorneys, of
which there were several under con-
slderatlon by the Court, which were
argued last summer. The Court has
decided by q vote Of five to four
against the constitutionality of the
oath. The opinions will probably be
read on Monday next, if Judge Greer
should be able to be in attendance.
It is understood that each of the
Judges will read his own opinion.
The next important decision which
ought to eminate from this tribunal
is whether State, under the Consti-
tuition, can secede flom the Union.
The same paper adds: Now that
the Supreme Court of the United
States has declared the test oath to
be unconstitutional, new work pre-
sents itself to Congress, namely the
reconstruction of the Supreme Court.
The best way to reach that will be
to abolish the Constitution altogether,
and not tinker it any more.
