It is the case of J. H. Anderson, lately Col
lector of Internal Revenue for The fourth dis
trict OF Virginia. This man vas on the 10th
of June, 1868, convicted On a charge of con-
spring to defraud the Government of the D..
S., and was sentenced therefor to suffer i'm
prsonment in the penitentiary for a term of
two years, and to pay fine of ten thousand
dollars; and yet it is ascertained to-day that,
thus convicted Of crime in his official conduct,
he is under the tenure Of civil Office act, still in
office, and, even with the consent Of the Senate,
it requires, as it were, special procla mation
of the President to remove him

Those who doubt the right of Congress
to enact the present Tenure-of-office
law should read the following words
spoken in the Senate by Daniel Web
=ster on the 10th of eFbruary 1885:
''I think, then. sir, that the power of
appointment naturally and necessarily
includes the power of removal, " here
no limitation is expressed, nor any ten
ure but that at viii declared. The pow
er of appointment being conferred on
the President and Senate, ] think the
power of removal went along with IL,
and should have been regarded as a
part of it, and exercised BY tho same
hands.
''T think the legislature possesses the
power Of regulating the condition, du-
ration, Qualification, aud tenure of or
fice in all cases where the Constitution
has made no express provision on the
subject. am therefore, of opinion that
it is competent for Congress to declare
by law, as one qualification of the ten
ure of Office, that the incumbent shall
remain in place till the President shall
remove him, for reasons to be stated to
the Senate"

holding that the major fractions should

SHooTINa AFFRAY AT MARION
From the Marion Mirror, we copy the
following particulars of the recent
shooting affray at that place:
On last MOnd ny morning, about eight
o'clock, our community was startled by
three several reports OF pistOl emana-
ting from the American House, and a
general rush was made for the Hotel
The crowd arrived to find the Proprietor
OF the Hotel, S. q. Burnside, shot, it was
supposed fatally, and George Hunt,
n ght telegraph operator on the b. q L.
Railroad, with his head badly cut up.
The parties had been separated by the
boarders. Drs. Sweeney and Carter
were called in to dress the wounds of
burnside and DR.. Davis those of Hunt.
AS was to be expected, much excite
ment prevailed, and all maner of ru-
mOrs were rife, many so contradictory
that one could hardly believe any
afiOat. From what we can glean the
difficulty arose from alledged remarks
of Burnside derOgatOry of Hunts wife,
who, with her husband, was boarding
with Burns de.
Both parties We're badly injured
Hunt was arrested and placed in jail to
await the termination of the wounds OF
Burnside, which were though 10 be fa
tai. As The matter viii undergo legal
investigation, we refrain from making
further comments than to regret the
circumstance, which every good citizen
must regret, leaving to the jury to elic-
it the fact and to the community to draw
its own moral from such an untoward
event in the history of our usually
peaceable and law-abiding community.
P. Stunt was taken before Squire
johnson vest er1ay and bound over to
Court in 81 900 bonds, and was reman-
ded back 10 Jail in default of ball.
Burnside still fingers ia a preeariCus
condition, although alive up to going 10

These figures will give an approx
mate idea of the amount in which all Of
the Five-Twenly bonds of the Govern
ment are held.
They show that one-half of the loan
in amount was taken in sos, zoos and

pieces of these three denominations
were issued against 81, ,197 pieces of the
large denominations, the capitalists are
in very small minority, and any lPgis-
IatiOu repUdiating, in whole or in part,
the obligation of the bonds of the Gov

those securities in perfect reliance upon
the representations made to them by

through its agents, at the time of their

Who Own the Bonds 2

Mr.. Jay Cook, the eminent fnancier
who negotiated our war loans has writ
ten a letter touching the vexed fnan-
ciaI questions in which he makes the
following statements;
It is not generally known how large
proportion of the securities of the
United States are held by people OF
moderate Dneans for the investment OF
their savings. We have not at hand
the precise figures Of the denominations
in which the several series of Five
Twenties were issued, but the follow
ing statement shows the number of
notes Of each denomination embraced
in the issue of the Seven-T hirty Treas
ury notes, which are now being conveT-
ted by the Treasury into Fiye-Twengy
bonds. In these conversions the Treas
ury has never been able to supply
enough small bonds to adequately
meet the demau

suit oE EnoWlsdse The bill therefore
amounts to an absolute denial Of edu-

portion Of the State. The question it
involves is not whether there shall be

shall be schools at all.

Of their number named Thompson,
the superannuated member from
Stark, desiared to several Republicans
that he had not voted for it, giving
his reasons therefor. The old mans
conscience had quailed before this in
fanny AZ the earliest moment his
statements concerning his vote were
repeated in the House and attention
called the to fact that the bill had not
passed, as one Of the ffty-three Dem
oeratic votes counted in It's favor had
been cast against it. Thereupon the
member from Stark was placed in an
embarrassing situation. He could not
remember whether he had voted for
the bill or not. He was at loss to
know how he had voted. He knew not
whether he was Thompson with a p
or without p. whether he stood on
his head or on his feet ThereupOn
Mr.. Jewett and several other Obliging
Democratic members rushed to his
rescue and refreshed" the old mans
memory. They we're certain be had

not be otherwise. Nevertheless. Mr..
Thompson could not say. But, as all
seemed uncertain and vague, he con-
cluded to let his vote stand as it was
recorded. And thus hypocrisy and
falsehood triumphed through the
weakness of dotage.

Horrible outrages By the Kuklux.

A Nashville (Tenn.) dispatch Of
March 27 to the Cincinnati Gazette
says:
A horrible outrage was committed, a
few days since, upon a loyal citizen,
named Patrick Haney, who resides
near WaverlY, Tenn, on the Nashville
q N. W. Railroad. Some days ago a
gang of Kuklux left documents at his
house, warning him to leave the
country, but be paid no attention to the
bsequently, a large company of men,
disguised and armed, dragged him out
of his house, about midnight, carried
him to a creek three miles distant, tied
a rope round his neck, and dragged
him up and down the creek, pulled out
his hair and beard, kicked and whip
ped him, and left him lying insensible
in the woods. He was found the follow
ing evening by his wife in most hOr-
rible condition. Mr.. Haney is well
known in Nashville.
The Kukiux visited the house of a
man named Geo. Bryant, cOlored, last
night, eight miles from this city, on the
Lebanon Pike, and demanded admis-
sion. Not having any faith in their
ghOsCly profession, the cOlOred man re-
FUSED admission, but levied his gun on
them, when they made precipitate re-
treat. He recognized in one Of the
scoundrels neiRhbor named Warren,
and had a warrant issued for his arrest.
There is great excitement in Smith
county, in relation of the election Of a
Chancellor tomorrow,
The Vidette (Kuklux organ) has is
sued an extra, warning Union men and
negroes not to leave their homes until
after the election.

year In April, as heretofore. The prao-
tice, which has been so common, of
