The other day we thought trade was dull, and
took a stroll around town. CHANGING to stop at
Porter's corner, however. we were happily sur.
prised to find David and his boys all busy, and
heard somebody putting at the back door, when,
on walking around, we found our old friend
Isaac unloading tons Of goods. "What in the
world" said VIC to Porter, "are you going 10 do
with all those goodsP" "Sel them, sell them
They will last but few days" We left satisfied
that D. H. Porter & Cos was the place to buy
goods. The amount sold being large, small pro

ST. JOINS DAY.-Out of some so Masonic LODI
ges TO whom special invitations We're sent, to
join in the great Masonic celebration at Ottawa,
responses have already been received from enough

The owners and officers of the two National banks
of this city. for instance, are put down as having
incomes varying from 5000 to $1,000, above the
$1,000 exempt.) when it is apparent most of them
are living at rate no such incomes would war
rant. So members Of Congress, U. s. Assessors
Collectors, and other Government officers, whose
names perhaps do not appear in the income list
at all are yet we'll known to receive good, fat
salaries The explanation is, that in the case of
the national banks, the income tax is paid direct

HORSE THIEVES ABoUT.-A fine bay horse.
the property of Mr.. DURFEE CHASE, living in
east Ottawa, disappeared from his stable on Tues
day evening, and as Mr.. Chase next day started
in pursuit of the horse. imagining that he might
have strayed back to his former owner, he met
the horse mile or two from town. on his w,v
home bearing marks Of hard usage T}.TT
The Ottawa Republican, mentioning the above
circumstance, gives in the same connection an
account Of other horsethieving operations, which.
as We have no information on this sub;ect ner.
sonally, we give in its own language, which
we hope the reader will find more Ineligible
than it is to US. y, sH.r ..r,--f.-.l-.
On the same night son of d. L. Carpenter,
near Seneca was returning home late, when near
the house. he met a man on, what he thought tn
be one OF his fathers horses. He found on reach.
ing home there was two men in the barn-Wak.
ed up his father and went out, he met one of the
men riding of another horse, he draw club and
knocked him Oft the horse; mounted and went in
pursuit OF the first; came up and was hailed
said all was right, rode little hehind the thief
up to Ezra Carpenters, where the thief said he
could get two more horses; on dismountinv at
the gate the thief looked sharp and said he was
sold; drew pistol and fred twice. the balls pas
sing through young Carpenters hat; at this stare
the boy jumped like wild cat, and grasped him
by the throat, and had n rough and tumble frht.
finally he received a terrible knife wound on the
arm rendering it powerless, when the thief left
him. No doubt they had Chase's horse but he
slipped his head and got away. We advise all
horse owners to look out, and be ready to shoot"
Since the above was put in type we have re.
ceived from our Seneca correspondent connec.
ted and Ineligible account of the affair, which
we publish under the "Seneca" head.

RIOT AT FRANKLIN.

The accounts Of the war of races
inaugrrated at franklin, on Saturday
evening last, are too long for our
space, but the. inevitable conclusion,
therefrom, is that it was a premedi.
tated affair, on the part Of the "loyal
lesgcers,n ins.;gated by a white devil,
named Bliss, who suffered his jaws
to be slapped, and then called on the
negroes to do his fighting. The col.
ored league paraded the streets, with
arms, and on two of their banners
were inscribed these mottoes-"Re.
member Fort Pillow when you go to
the polls" and "The Radicals build
school houses and the Conservatives
burn them" 1t needs no argument
to convince any sensible man that
those who displayed such incendiary
notices, did so with no peaceful in
tentions, but with predstermiDation
to riot and bloodshed. .

leaguers, failing to arouse the ire Of
the peaceable citizens, they

One OF BrOwulOw's Militia Killed
He Is Shot While Trying 10 Bob a
Store.

From a gentleman who assisted TO hold
the inquest over the body of one of Brown
lows militia, killed at Tullahoma by Capt.
De Wit Bennett last Saturday, we have the
following brief optcorrect statement;
Two of Capt Kinks company of militia
went to Capt. Bennets store aud pretended
that they wished to purchase some tobacco
They selected some $50 worth, and commence
ed TO move out without paying the money.
Capt Bennett saw their game, stepped from
be hind the counter and recaptured the to-
bacco. The men left for camp, but soon af-
ter returned. In the meantime, the door
and windows had been closed Ia apprehen-
sion Of an attack. As soon as the militia
mea reached the store they demanded en-
trance. Capt. Bennett told them that they
conid not come in and warned them to get
of. They commenced kicking at the door
and attempted to force their way. Captain
Bennett again told them TO desist, but no at
tention whatever was paid TO what he said,
and the efforts to break open the door were
increased in violence. Capt. Bennett at last
placed his gun in q window and Cred, hitting
one of the men named Jones In the right
eye, killing him instantly.
The Coroner's Jury, siuealarly enough,
brought Ia a verdict of malicious shooting.

nasty job TO the full and entire satisfaction of
h,s hearers, with great power and eloquence,
he turned loose storm of shot upon the
Loyal Leagues. A few Of these miserable
skunks were present, and began 10 hnddle
together, out Williams dealt out to them their
Just deserts. He looked the speaks in the
face and called them by proper names Not
withsianding their iron will and determine
ton to stand il bully, the place got too hot
their gizzards failed them, sheepishness got

TIE voice. Of the press, in both
hemispheres, seems to be unanimous
in its condemnation of the murder Of
Macmillan. Such lawless atrocity
will ever strike with horror every
people save those who perpetrate it,
and in this CAGE, il acquires addition
al importance from the fact, that all
civilized governments are interested
in maintaining, inyiolate, that pro-
vision Of the international code de-
signed 10 secure the safety and hui
name treatment of prisoners of war.
The tone Of some Of our own papers,
however, indicates less horror at--the
cold .bloodod murder Of great and
good man than at the indignity offered
to this government in the refusal ia
heed its appeal for justice and mercy
We have no sympathy with this
view Of the subject because this gov
eminent is, we believe, the worst en-
emy-o1tside of its borders-to tho
peace aud prosperity Of Mexico. But
for yankee mtcrmeddling, that coun'
try would, at this moment, have had
stable and wise government, and
been on the high road to peace and
prosperity. Nor should it surprise
any one that Juarez declined to com
ply with the wishes Of Seward. He
had heard of the murder of Wirz, a
parolcd prisoner Of war, and believed
that the example set by the United
States was more worthy Of imitation
than its professions are Of respect
since the former was a deliberate act
and the latter might be hypocriticaI

THE TOBACCO SHlPMESrs.-- European to-
bacco dealers are in the habit Of sending their
agents to GAINESVILLE, in this State, which is
one OF the largest tobacco markets in the
world, aud for certain sorts of tobacco has no
rival. The agents buy in GAINESVILLE, aud
then the TOBACCO is shipped to Europe through
New orleans houses Most Of the tobacco is
sent from Carksyille to Padacab, aud is there
transhipped and carried TO New Orleans. The
freight from Paducah to New Orleans by
steamboats, is exactly the same as from Mem
