Tragedy at Winchester.

The Nashville Union and american
of last Friday contained the following
particulars of the late tragedy at Win
chester:
While Brownlow's militia were sta
toned in Franklin county in 1867, q
young man by the name of Brown was
seized by them and summarily shot to
death, without charge and without
cause. One Of the parties engaged in
that bloody crime was a VIGOROUSLY
blood-thirsty character by the name of
Raleigh, or Rolla, Dotson. He is rep
resented to be a criminal of the deepest
dye. He is charged with having COM
mitted no less than five cold-blooded
murders, two in Franklin county, two
in Shelby, and one upon woman in
Kentucky. For one or both of those in
Franklin, he had been arrested and con-
fined in the Jail at Winchester for some
time past. Night before last party in
disguise went to the Jail and took the
prisoner out, conveyed him to the yard
of the Court. house, and hung him.
They attached a placard to his back with
the following inscription:
"Whosoever sheddeth mans blood
by man shall his be shed. When ye
have no law in the land, then shall ye
take the law into your own hands.
Mysterious.
Wonderful.
Miraculous that escape has been SC
long.
Rolla Dotson, charged with five mur
ders."
The paper adds that the party left th'
victim swinging in the air, and the citi
zens of the town were Mortified at th'
sight the following morning. A coro
ner's jury was summoned, and thei
verdict was to the effect that the maj
was hanged by persons in disguise ant
unknown.

to the productive wealth of the State
nor improve our social condition; on
the contrary they corrupt our society,
produce discord and sometimes subtract
from our wealth when they leave. They
are as much detested by the genuine
settler from the North as by the native
Tennesseean. 1t was against this class
in Nashville that l directed some re-
marks in public speech in September
1867, which they affected to construe in.

The Hog CrOp.

A correspondent who is spoken Of as
well posted, writes to the Cincinnati
Gazette of the I'd:
The packing season has just opened,
and the old contest between buyer and
seller is fully inau9urated. Packers
are using every means to induce pro-
ducers to believe that prices are already
high enough. IF prices are high enough,
producers ought to accept and be satis-
fed but if there is anything in pork
outside of the packers regular profit,
the farmers ought to receive it. Let us
first take theoretical view of present
prices. Last year packing was very
remunerative, and that alone would
stimulate prices this year, even grant
ing that the present crop is as great as
the last was. But there are not SO
many hogs this year as there were last.
Corn being very high last year, farmers
were anxious to get rid of their pigs,
consequently many young hogs that
had been fattened Oh mast and offal were
| butchered and sent to market, thus ma
terially reducing the resources for this
year. Then many hogs were permitted
to perish during the winter for want of
sufficient food, making another drain
upon the present crop. And to increase
both these evils, no one devoted their
attention to raising pigs, as it was
thought the sale of the corn would pay
better. The above reasons long since
induced me to conclude that the pres
ent years crop of hogs must fall short
of last years, and to confirm this have
accumulated some statistical facts
From actual inspection of the Audi
tors books in eighteen of the heaviest
hog producing counties in the State,
eighteen counties that produce upward
of one-fourth of all the hogs produced
in the State) find that the actual num-
ber returned by the Assessors falls near
ly twenty-five per cent. short of the
number returned last year. From Iowa
we have the same report. In Illinois
one hundred and twenty-seven points
report decrease while only forty-sev-
ell report an increase in the number Of
hogs. Indiana falls short. And so
does Tennessee. From review of the
facts, have concluded that hogs are
selling, Notwithstanding the apparently
high prices, too low, and that the crop
of this year will fall short. not less than
fifteen per cent in numbers from that
of last year. That would make hogs
worth, at the present time, in Cincin-
natl, eight dollars gross weight. And
this l think will be something near the
price that will be established when all
the facts that govern the market are
made known. Producers can act ac-
cordingly.

State Debt and Railroad Bonds

State Debt and Railroad Bonds.
The Nashville Press anG Times is op-
posed to increasing the State liability
OH account of Railroads. 1t says in an
article on the subject:
The Comptroller of State, in state
ment of our finances recently submit
ted to the Legislature. estimates the ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts for
this year at about SSS7,0OO. Yet in the
face of these official figures it is con-
tended by some that the public inter-
ests will be promoted by making the
State liable for nearly three millions
more in bonds issued to unfinished rail-
roads. We are curious to learn by what
ingenious arithmetic this result is reach
ed. 1t would appear from it that the
prosperity of the State will be increas-
ed by increasing its embarrassments,
and that the shortest road to public
wealth and an overfowing treasury is
through ilimitable debt and endless in
terest. The logic which proves that be-
cause the State may wisely aid one rail-
road, it ought therefore aid score or
more, seems akin to the logic which
reasons that if one stove will save half
the fuel, two stoves will save the whole.
1t is time to call halt in the increase OF
State Indebtedness. Let every member
Of the Legislature give the statement OF
