A CARD frona Dr.. Horfe.

10 the Editors Of the Union aad Dispatch.
In your issue of the 25th inst, appears q
statement purporting to have emanated
from some person at Dover, in Stewart
county, which does me great injustice, az
the writer cannot be wholly ignorant OF
my whereabouts. The facts are that, in
November, 1866, was appointed Deputy
Collector for the collection of the United
States district tax for Stewart county. This
appointment was from Col. +. P. Ferry, who
was at the time Commissioner for this dis
trict. In that capacity, collected several
thousand dollars, and paid over to the Com
missioner, taking his receipt for the same,
which now have, Also one showing full
and satisfactory settlement. My bond was
in the sum of ten thousand dollars, and APP
proved by the proper authorities at Wash
ington City. The statement that said
was going to return in a few weeks and
collect the balance of the tax is not true.
The further collection of this tax in Ten
nessee being suspended by the United
States government, closed up my accounts
with the proper authorities No one paid
me, but | gave receipt, which is good ss
against the tax. Why any one should at
tempt 10 create wrong impression at this
time about the matter / cannot conceive.

be seen at any time BY calling at my Office,

enee, aud Finally Turns up In
the StaflOnhOuse.
The st. Nicholas Varieties, on Cedar
street, is, perhaps, as orderly an institution
as any Of the kind in the country, but like
all other plsces Of amusemeni, has lis
share of rough customers to deal with, who
consider the payment of admission fees full
license 10 conduct themselves as their mood
may suggest. One Of these restless fomeni
ers of mischief, bnrly eountryman, with
a hat offearfuI proportions, visited the Va
rieties night before lasi, and taking front
seat, persistently hung to his prodigious
tile" and when the officer present re-
quested him 10 removeit, that the audience
might not entirely be shut ont from a view
OF the stage, an alteration ensIed, the
countryman refusing 10 take off his hat, and
swearing he wonld shoot before he would
either comply with the rules OF the place
or give up his seat A bold front on Che
part of the officer, however, led him 10
abandon this idea, and he finally submit
ted.
Shortly after this, he went out and took
drink, and on coming back set upon the
beer boy, endeavoTing TO beat him out of
the price Of a glass Of the liquor. just at
this point, the play had reached the height
OF its sublimity, and the scantily sppareled
houris were grouped in fantastic attitudes
above the reclining form of one ,ofthe most
beautiful OF the sparkling galaxy. Short
words flew fast between the beer boy and
his trihing customer, and in moment an
officer jumped to the spot. "Cliok click r.
went the hammer Of a savage looking
blunderbus from the couatryman's pocket
and voiley Of oaths ratified from his
anger-loosened tongue. Instantly the
women on the stage changed positions, and
the audience was on its fee, while here and
there the cracking Of an upset chair con-
tributed TO the ensuing racket. Seven
men from Fentress county at once took a
bee line for the entrance, and a couple Of
chaps from Murfreesboro picked them.
selves up and cleared the chairs in twink
ling, the balance of the panic stricken
audience bringing up the rear 10 the head
long rush for the outlet.
The Waterman, however, who under
stood his business, with tie aid of the po-
lice, soon quieted the fighting stranger,
and not shot was fred. He was imme-
diately hustled off TO the stationhouse,
and was yesterday disposed OF before Com.
missioner Stone.

parchment.

In the Senate yesterday, petition wa
received and read from the Hon. Thoma:
Barry, indicating himself from the grave
charges preferred against him by Thomp.
son McKinly, the Representative from
Sumner county. The object of the petit.
ton was to get time granted him TO pro-
cure evidence 10 refnie the foul ISLANDERS
heaped upon him BY Mr.. McKinly. Judge
Barry, instead of quietly acting on the de-
fensive carries the war into Africa" and
charges that McKinly was not entitled TO
credit in the courts Of the State from which
he came; that he has been guilty Of swind-
ling and many other crimes, any Of which,
If proven before jury, would give him
quarters for term of years in the State
institution in West Nashville. We do not
pretend to say that Mr.. McKinly is guilty
of these offensive crimes, as the petition,
like the charges preferred by the Legisla-
tore, is er pdrte The question is now fair
ly made up between Judge Barry and Mr.,
McKinly and there is a fair chance for a
full and thorough ventilation of the pub
lie and private character of both gentle
men. Let us have no suppression OF
smothering up of testimony, and if Judge
Barry is guilty let him be impeached and
disgraced, but if he ia innocent, as all who
know his unblemished character believe
him TO be, then let it be pronounced 10
thunder tones by the General Assembly.
IL the charges made, against Mr.. McKinly
are true, let him be driven from the House
of Representatives with the maledictions
and anathemas Of an outraged people, az a
warning to those who would lay their cor
rupt hands on the unspotted ermine of the
bench to promotebase and selfish ends.
We do not wish to PREJUDICE this case.
We have published the charges made
against Judge Barry, and this morning we
lay before our readers his defense. The
Senate is the tribunal before which he will
be tried, if tried at all, and il innocent he
will find many strong Senatorial arms ready
to Vindicate the right.

THE RED CRooK.-This spectacular
comedy has been upon the boards here for
some time, and has, considering the severe
pressure of the money market, had fine
run.
The conception is ine one. The solil-
oquisms of Richmond often eyince an ac-
tive and delicate imagination, refined
view Of sentiment and not unfrequently
little subtlety of thought. The pathetic
mingles with the comic, thus posing the
audience between smile and a tear. The
local hits are fine, and Bill Arpo often
brings down the house in his humorous
play on words. The sayings of Red Crook,
the spiritualistic Philosopher, often rise
above the realms Of comedy.
The introduction of Mrs. Oates on the
stage with her highly cultivated and ex-
quisite voice, gave additional charms 10
the performance last night.
The scene closes with the realization oi
Richmond's ambition, that of burying the
Confederate dead. To this cause the play
is dedicated q cause as noble as was ever
cherished by the human heart. Each doll
lar given TO this cause will add another
stone TO that grand mausoleum, which will
some day rise above the honored dead
who fell fighting for Southern rights. Al
literary production the Red Crook is far
ID advance OF all the comedies put UP on
the Crook models.
The play will be repeated Tonight.
