In Baltimore. bakery has been started
to furnish aerated bread or, in other

has in great measure taken the place of

Answer. " X. Z. IRIdG
John T. HARCoURT,
plaintiffs Counsel
The President, under the reconstruction
laws, has no authority over the military
commanders so far as their control of the
States under military rule is concerned. -
OF course he cannot revoke the order Of
Gen. Reynolds, as requested by the attor-
neys signing the foregoing dispatch. This
order of Reynolds is Of piece with his
recent edict forbidding an election in Texas
for President and Vice President He has
evidently full appreciation Of the unlimi
ted powers vested in him as district com
mander by the Radical laws. He is law
unto himself. "L'et0t c'est n10i." 81 am

Horrible Murder.

The Alexandria Commercial Advertiser
of Friday says g One of the most butch
eriy murders we have had to record Tor a
long time took place on Thursday night
about a quarter of mile from Mount Jack
son, on the Manassas Gap railroad. John
Conner, an employe of the railroad COM
pany, was found at the place mentioned
with his head beat in. bis brains knocked
out, dirk stab opposite the heart, and a
portion of his person horribly mutilated.-
This atrocious deed has caused the greatest
excitement and horror in the community
where it was perpetrated and popular
rumor connects it with q report which was
current some two years ago that the de-
ceased had seduced and debauched young
woman of that neighborhood. Vengeance
for that deed is the only motive for the
murder which receives popular credence. "

the Constitution. He was asked if the
statement of leading Radicals would he
proof, and he said it would, and repeated
his offer. A gentleman quoted from Thad.
Stevens, where that notorious leader pro-
claimed the whole reconstruction policy
outside of the Constitution, and demanded
his $5. Duchery looked sIichery, as usual,
and said "Oh. I only meant Confederate
money" The Fayetteville Eagle says it
now understands the cath that Oliver
made recently, as bon,,sman for a carpet
bag official in Cumberland, that he was
worth $4,000. It supposes he only meant
90 C0nfed."

ner ia tho Profits Of His Own s'roclxms-
ri0u.
During the late term of the Circuit Court
at Smithviile, Dekalb county, Judge Nc
Lain presiding, q murder case was tried,
in which Judge Mason II. Brien. of this
city was engaged. In the course Of his
argument, Judge Brien made the startling
declaration that g there is o regular part
nershlp existing between VIM. G. Brown
low and Col. Blackburn, on the following
terms That the said Col. Black burn shall
arrest and convey to Nashville all men in
that section OF the State who are accused
Of horse stealing, murder, and other crimes,
and that when they have arrived in Nash
vile, and before they are tried, Brownlow
shall offer a reward for their arrest. Brown
low and Blackburn divide the money be-
tween them, sharing equally in the profits
arising from BroWnlOW's recent proclama-
ton"
Judge Brien elected this statement from
the evidence of Col. Blackburn. He de-
nounced the partnership as q "species of
infamy heretofore unknown" and further
stated that he "expected to be assassina-
ted for exposing the parties, and that the
speech he was then making was the last he
ever expected to be permitted to make at
the bar. Nashville Banner, Oct. 1S.
The Hartsyilte Vidette says OF this vii
famous conspiracy
The case in all of its horrible details was
brought to light in open court at Smith
vile, before the Hon. Judge McLain, and
from his we'll known zeal in Furnishing ille-
gal acts, it is fair to presume that the name
of ,Wm. c. Brownlow will soon figure in
the list of indictments by the DeKalb
county grand jury, and that he will learn
til t such exemplitications of "loyalty !"
will not be allowed in the Mountain Cir
cult, and especially III the chivarous
county of DeKalb.

The importance of the Pacific Railroad to
the commerce of the world and the spread
of American power is beginning to penetrate
the English mind, and is exciting something
like feeling of rivalry. The subject was
brought under discussion few days ago in
the Geographical Section of the British
Scientific Association by the reading of
paper on an Overland Route through
British territory from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The anthor of the paper urged
that, if England did not stir in the matter,
the Pacific Railroad, now on the point of
being completed, would throw the carrying
trade between the East and Europe entirely
into the hands of the United States. He
therefore proposed the building of railway
wholly through British territory, and esti-
mated The gold cost of it at $l35, 600, 600.
Upon the point of cost he said:
We shall be told that such an autlay is
far too great to be thought Of But what
we have to consider is not merely the
amount, but the object to be attained, aud
whether that is commensurate with the out
lay. lfthe commercial supremacy of Eng
land Is at stake-and that has been pretty
clearly shown-what are seven and twenty
millions compared with the sad downfall
which must inevitably follow such loss
and the decay and ruin of our country?
Never was so large sum Of money more
usetully, more wisely applied; and in vain
might we ramsaek the history ofour national
debt to find parallel "

TAXATION.

The Democrats throughout this cam
paign have been making a great outery
about the taxes which they say the people
have to pay. We wish the taxpayers to
understand the position which the Demo
cratic party occupies in regard to the ques-
ton oftaxation and we ask the attention of
men of all parties to few undeniable facts.
The 4th plank in the platform of princi-
pies adopted by the Democratic National
Convention which met at New York on
the 4th Of July last reads thus;
g Fourth Equal tarattola Of euery species
"of property according to its real valle
" including Government bonds and other
public securities I"
In the Bedford Gazette issued by Mey-
ers & Mengle on the l4th Of August last,
near the top of the second column of the
second page they say: "We are for equal
taxation upon all species Of property and
ia the Gazette ofthe same date in the third
column of the second page they tell US
what they mean by equal taxation. They
say; By equal taration the Democrats
. mean that they tctH tar erery ctttzen dc
g corditag to The ualae Of hts property iucl,'-
g ding the ,oeaEtdy and a,ristocratic bond
holder
Nor if any man thinks that we have
misquoted we hope that he will get the
Democratic platform and the Gazette Of the
l4th of August last and read and judge for
himself We have copied the exact Ian
guage of the platform and Of the editors of
the.Gazette and we ask most earnestly ask
every one Of our taxpaying citizens to pom
der well this subject of taxation. Farmers!
Mechanics workingmen do you want to
pay more taxes than what you have to pay
now La the name Of common sense do
you not pay enough already ? IF you wish
farmers, to have your farms, your horses,
your cows, your crops "eceiy species Of your
property" taxed. vote the Democratic ticket
and'you will be gratifed, for the Democratic
party says it is for equal taratioa Of eray
species Of property according to its real
ralue." Do you, workingmen and me
ehanies, desire to have your homes, your
little all taxed If you do, vote the Demo
cratic ticket from Seymour down and you
will attain what you desire, for ''by equal
taxation the Democrats mean that they will
tax every citizen according to the value of
his property.
Fellow citizens no matter what your en-
ployment or business may be, we entreat
you to reflect upon this subject We do not
want any more burdens in the shape of taxes
What say you?
