Whose-Ox is Gored?

The feeling of disfranchised whites in
Tennessee toward their black employees
who voted with the party which denies the
most sacred rights to 100000 American
freemen, was one OF profound indignation.
Many of these blacks were discharged from
the 18th inst. says: Nov, threatening to
discharge a man from employment, unless
he votes with his employer, is the most
shameful sort of bribery conceivable, and
the wretch who succumbs to such influences
might just as well be slave as a so-called
freeman" We might stop to ask wheth-
er if citizen whose vote is deposited
under the duress of threat is a
''slave," what the Tribune thinks of
those who are by, force deprived of
all opportunity to vote at all? Are the
100 900 disfranchised whites of Tennessee
reduced to the position of "slaves ?" But
we let this pass. In the same paper the
Tribune prints General Pope's military or
der, directing that all advertisements or
other official publications, shall be taken
away from newspapers opposing the Re-
construction acts aud given to papers that
| do not oppose them. The Tribune in the
same issue, and on the same page in which
| it denounces as shameful bribery" the
threat to discharge those who vote the Rad
zeal ticket, says that Pope's order is mot
| unjust" How so? Is it not ''shametul
bribery ?" Is it not buying Radical sup
port by threats of taking away patronage?
Is not the man who succumbs to such in
! fiuences wretch ?"
The Tribune certainly says so, when ap-
plying it's reasoning to the Tennessee
employers and the negro voters, and it will
be rather difficult to show in the face ol
that reasoning that Pope's order is moi
unjust" But then it makes good deal o.
difference, perhaps, with the Tribune
whether the Radical OK is goring or being
gored, and what may be very lust" in &
Radical would be very unjust in a Con-
| Seryatiye. -t."-

We copy the folio wing account of re-
cent s1outrage in Wilk es" from the Winston
Sentinel:
One day last week party of men from
Tennessee, claiming to belong to Brown
lows militia, made a rush into Wilkes
county and arrested and carried off young
man by the name of Wagner. Wagner
is native of johnson county, Tennessee,
and at the commencement of the war join
ed the 1st North Carolina cavalry, and did
not visit home during the struggle, and
since the war was afraid to return home,
and settled in Wilkes county in this State,
and recently married. The miscreants
who carried him off told him they were
acting under the authority of Brownlew.
and that he had also offered $400 reward
for him. Wagner was in the field at work,
and when he was arrested was refused
permission to go to the house for his
coat. The captors placed guard of two
men, one on each side, and then placed a
rear guard, with instructions to fire off a
gun on the approach of any one that had
the appearance of pursuit, and the firing
of the gun was the signal to the guards
near Wagoner's person TO kill him. When
the party was approaching Taylorsville,
the rear guard stopped at branch to
drink, and fell to the rear some thirty or
forty yards. Wagner conceived this to
De Lhe Dest ana last chance TO escape: ne
suddenly struck one of the guards and
knocked him off steep embankment, and
Immediately struck the other and darted
off into the woods. By this time the at
tention of the whole party was drawn to
him, and they fired volley after him, but
fortunately his person was not touched,
although several balls passed through his
clothing. After laying out in the noun
tains for two or three days and nights, he
got safely back to Wilkes, where it is
hoped he will be allowed to remain unnno-

The Whisky Tax and the Receipts
iIf'H1H ,TherefrOm.


The following statistics, which appear to
have, teen carefully prepared will be read
with interest, as showing the revenue de-
rived from the manufacture of whisky from
the time tax was first assessed upon that
article: s., ,i.....-.
"The first tax on distilled spirits in this
country was laid July, L, 1862, at the rate of
20c. the proof gallon. In March, 1864, it
was raised to 60c.; in July of the same
year it was carried to LOO. and the follow
ing January to 50 per gallon. The amount
of revenue raised under the several rates
of tax, and the production represented by
it, are as follows: Under the tax of 20c.,
a, little over $3,000,000, representing 49,
600, 600 gallons; in 1854, under the rates of
20 and 60c., $28000.000, on a production,
probably, OF 100000 gallons; in 1865, un-
der the rates of Sl.50 and So, SIS, 600 600,
representing production of about 100000
gallons; in 1866, under 50 tax, $40, 100000,
representing q production of 14,500,000
gallons. THE returns for the year ending
June, 1887, are not yet complete,s but they
will probably show collection of not more
thanl$ l5s000, goo, representing production
of 7,500,000f gallons.i From these figures
Iitswili be seen that at no time since thetax
was laid onIdistilled spirits has it been to
any considerable extent collected. sGl ans

Funding tbe MATHEMATICIAN

Hnper's Weekly urges that the funding of
the public debt is the best of the measures
of relief proposed to lift the burden of tax
alton. BY making the rate of interest five
per cent, and giving the loan long time
to run, it believes the holders of the pres
ent securities would generally be willing
to convert their Investments into the for
mer. 1t concludes:
I'VE feel convinced that no other meth
cd yet suggested for relieving the nation
OF its burdens is so polite or so efficacious.
Repeating or modifying the National Bank
Act will not do it; neither will any other
ill digested scheme of taxation"

an account of what he saw there. He says
"One of the convicts, more practical THAI
many of his fellows, and who was looked

made very superior sewing machine, en-
tirely different from any used in the outer
world, upon which the prison clothing is
made. Near by, o knitting machine OF his

The Ironton Register says: AT noon on
Friday last, while the workmen were at
dinner, fire broke out in the extensive
Saw and Planning Mill of Fl. Newman Sc
Co., consuming the entire mill and out
houses, consisting of office, blacksmith
shop and lumber room, together with the
ice houses of II. Lautenschlager and G.
Feuehter. The fire was caused by sparks
falling into the shavings collected in front
of the boilers, to be used as fuel, and from
there communicated to the main building.
The loss, as far as could be ascertained,
will reach $4,000. zs.i -. .s-.t--
