Equal taxation is demanded for all prop
crty, including coin, ard one currency is
demanded for all. Economy, reduction
of the army aud navy, and the abolition
of the Frecdmen's Bureau and inquisito-
rial modes of collecting the revenUe, are
demanded with Il tariff for revenue only.
The subordination of the military to
civil authority is proclaimed, with the re-
storation of all the States, and amnesty
for all political offences, including the re-
-storation of suffrage to the disfranchised

The control of suffrage belongs exclusive
ly to each State, and Congress has usurped
it in violation of the Constitution. The
reconstruction acts are pronounced uncon-
stitutional and void.

Sh9aiiag Of Quiet Negro Maa by
THO Of GGgabohd Boys on tie Eus-
ming Of The Fourth.
From a Gentleman who reached the city
yesterday morning o., the IldgeGeld and
Kentucky railroad, we learn of dastra-
IDLY deed Of wdntonness ii the = "Oting Of
quiet, inofensiye n, gro man by a trio of
unmitigatcd scounlrels, whose stopping
place, until better manners and sense are
learned, should b the State prison. 1t
appears that Charley Brien, the negro
'.aa in q{eston, in company with his wife
and d I'd, had bcen spending the day with
some Of shoi1 o3lJred ncighbors, aUd were
just returning home, when they were met
by this caroUsing crew on horseback, who
were staggering from side to side in dis
custing intoxication. They apparently
came from the direction of Montgomery
county, and were all three mere boys.
Coming up to Brien, Phillips, who ap-
pe0red the leader of the juvenile outlaws,
whipped out pistol, and without any
provocaton us we learn, shot Brien, the
ball entering above the hip and cleaving
its way downward passed out at the lower
extremity Of the abdomen, He then
wheeled his horse and galIoped up to his
companions, who had passed the scene of
the conAic,, and the three rode on in the
direction Of Goodlettsyille chuckling over
their adventure and saying it was at least
some more id niggor out Of the way"
DR.. Galbrooth, of the vicinity, was called
to the bedside of the unfortunate colored
man durins the afternoon aad pronounced
the wound serious. We sincerely hope that
the participants in this attempt at cold
bloodcl murder may be detected and dealt
with in the seyerest aspect of the law.
Such acts by foolish boys have already
given our State bad name. We are
happy to state as compliment to the Ku-
I<lux Klan that the perpetrators wore no
mantles of disguise, although we look for
. terrible bowling from the Radical news
mongers in a lew days of ''Ku-Klux out

In the last illness Of George Coleman,
The doctor being late in the appointment,
apologzed to his patient, saying that he
had been called in t0-3oc man who had
fallen down Il we'll. ''Did he kick the
bucket, doctor?" groaned out poor George.
Nothing annoys man more than to be
eagerly questioned when he comes home
tired Give him nOatly served dinner,
or pair of easy slippers and a cup of tea
and let him eat and drink in peace, and
in time he will tell you, of his own prop
er motion all YOU wish to know. But if
you begin the attack too soon, the chances
are that you will be rewarded by curtly
spoken honosyllables. Put down that
piece of wisdom in your note book, girls;
it will serve you we'll some day.
