a University generally as sparng of its

noteworthy that this mark of esteem

RUi{rOud matters.

Justice Miller, of the Supreme Court
of the State of Nevada has rendered
decision in which he declares it is un-
constitutional for a State to levy tax
upon persons living in the State who
may wish to get out of it,or upon persons
not residing in it who may have Occa-
sion to pass through 1t. The suit was
brought by William III. Corndell, agent
of stage company engaged in carrying
passengers through the State OflNevada,
who was arrested for refusing to report
the number of passengers that had been
carried by the coaches of his company
and for refusing to pay the tax of one
dollar imposed OH each passenger by the
law of that State. 1t was alleged that
the law of the State under which CrOn-
dell was prosecuted in the lower court
was void, because it was in conflict with
the Constitution of the United States.
This opinion of Justice Miller is i'm
portant to persons travelling through
New Jersey, as that Stateiimposes tax
on every person crossing her territory
by the Camden & Amboy Railroad. The
exclusive privileges of the consolidated
roads expire in 1869, but 1t Is said that
the tax on passengers will be continued,
the roads paying revenue to the State for
the purpose of controlling legislation
and preventing the building of a rival
| route to Philadelphia.
The suit brought in the Circuit Court
by the Attorney General of the State, in
| the name of the State of Missouri, against
the original purchasers of the Iron noun.
! tain Railroad on account of the alleged
fraudulent sale of this road was decid'
ed juno 10 IL favor of the defendants
and the bill was dismissed

20 miles Of the Union Pacific Railroad

COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS. - The
Springfield Republican makes the fol-
lowing mention of the prospective Com
missiOners of Patents /:
"The office Of Commissioner of Pa
tents, which has been vacant for nearly
a year, ought to be speedily filed, and
filled more wOrthily than it lately has
been. 1t is said to be reserved for Eli
sha Foot, now a mem Der of the court of
appeals In the patent Office, and who
in-law of Senator Henderson. Mr.. Foot
has always been violently opposed to
Impeachment, and may have had some
influence with the conscience of his in
tended son-in-law. He is brother of
the late Senator Foot of Vermont.

HoRATIo SEYMOUR" gate" writes
from Washington to the Cincinnati
Gazette the following:
The refusal of Governor Seymour to
permit the use of his name as Demo-
cratic candidate left that party at sea in
New York and other Eastern States.
The reason of this refusal is very well
known here, and there is no reason,
imagine, why it should not be known
at the West. Gov. Seymour is believed
to have q hereditary tendency to insani-
ty; and he has been warned by his ply
sicians that the excitement of Presi-
Dental campaign would most probably
develop the disease, and that at any rate
the labor and harrassing cares of the
first year of Presidential aspiration
would be almost certain to do it.

KAPPA the Washington cores
pendent of the Boston Transcript, writes
as follows to that paper on the 18th in
slant, concerning an interview of Mr..
Chase with the President:
Chef-Justice Chase arrived here yes
terday from the South. Last evening
he visited the White House and had
long interview with President Johnson.
1t is learned from high and reliable
source that the condition of the South
and prospective nominations to be made
at New York by the Democratic Con-
vcntion, next month, formed themes of
conversation between the President and
the Chief-Justicc.
Since the name of Chase was first
mentionedin connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination, Johnson has taken
an unusual interest in the proposed con-
vcntion. He has frequently expressed
his preference for Chase, to those who
introduced the subject to him, over all
other candidates.
During the conversation last evening
the President frankly expressed the
hope that the Democratic Convention
would have the wisdom and policy to
nominate Chase. If this was done he
(Johnson) would do his utmost to Sc
cure the success of the ticket.
The Chief-Justice thanked the Presi-
dent for his kindness and expressed his
willingness to accept the nomination on
n platform embodying the living issues
of the day.

Coy. Holden, after which the bill amen
datory to the National Currency Act

A motion to table it was lost by one
majority, but no final vote was taken ON

the Senate return the bill granting extra
compensation to Department clerks, but
his motion was defeated, The remain

A Child With Four Legs.

On the 18th inst, Mrs. Corban, wife of
w. H. Corban, living on the farm Of James
Tharp, Esq, q miles north of Millville,
in Lincoln county, gave birth to a female
child, with four distinct aud we'll develop
ed legs and feet. The extra pair of legs
are in front of and rather between the natu-
raj pair, and are fully developed and as
well shaped in every particular as the 9TH
ers, except that they are shorter, and are
reversed, 80 that the Toes of the feet point
together.
The most wonderful feature of this Gu
rious freak of nature, is that the genera
tive aud urinary organs are also in dupli-
cate. The mother and child are both do
ing we'll.
We obtain these facts from Mr.. John
Tharp, we'll known gentleman, who lives
on the place, has seen the child, and vouch.

Premiums at Onr Fairs

In recent issue Of the Dixie Farmer,
Maj. Altman suggests that Agricultural So
oieties give agricultural implements and
papers in the place of plated silver cups
and pitchers as premiums. This is an ex-
cellent and timely suggestion, but We must
be allowed the privilege ofasking the Ma
ior if it would not be good idea for such
societies to occasionally recognize the fact
that they have COUNTY papers, which gen
orally do more work for local fairs and for
the prosperity Of the counties in which
they are published, than the agricultural
papers abroad. There is disposition to
patronize something foreign to the discour-
agement OF home enterprises. County So
cieties are formed for the purpose of build
ing up and encouraging. not on y the far
mer, but the mechanic and manufacturer at
home-and we respectfully suggest the pro-
priety of Offering as premiums such articles
90 will contribute to this end

10 Stool Raisers in Giles.

Major Altman proposes to attend the June sale Of
stock at Woodburn, KY, the breeding farm Of the
renowned r. a. Alexander, and if any of our Giles
county friends wish any fine stockholm shd4s to
a horse-and are willing to risk his Judgment, he
viii cheerfully buy for them-making the best Sc
lection he capable Of following instruction the
letter, attending to stock on the cars &c, &c. His
services viii cost them nothing. They wiz be re-
quired to pay the actual expense incurred of course
By thus joining in clubs and shipping together the
expense to each purchaser would be considerably
curtailed and being acc with the owner each
superintendent, the stock, ETC., he would possess
advantages in purchasing, not enjoyed by every
one.
There will be about thirty thoroughbred mares
sold-au bred to Lexington, Plannet, AsterOid, and
imp. Australian 65 colts and hlles, one year old,
sired by the above horses 80 trotting stations and
mares short horn, Alderny and Ayrshire cattle,
Southdown and Cotswold sheep, ETC., etc.
The world contains Purer bred animals than
these at Woodburn, and we would ike to see our
stock men accepting this generous proposition OF
MAJOR AIlman's, and introduce few Of tho differ
ent breeds into our county. We are bound to give
fine stock more and cotton less of our time and at
tention if we would rise and prosper. We need on

/ the people in Kentucky ana other stock grow
/ ing regions, who possess country with few il
any advantages over our own, to convince the
thinking, reasoning farmer he is wasting his
strength and usefulness in the culture ofcottOn and
the neglect of stock.
Major Altman win take great pleasure in serving
| any and all whomay call upon him. He will b'
in Pulaski on the first Monday in June, and those
who desire his services may either him then, OF
address him at Cornersville.

the people of Giles county are sustaining
this scalawag sheet, which has been desig-
mated by Brownlow to flch our pockets,
while they are utterly indifferent as to the

only this to say further, if the people Of

to the prosperity Of our paper they have
done recently, while they see such infer

be obliged TO seek q living IN some other To-
eality or at som@ other avocation. We
would dislike very much to succumb to

VIII Our People Sustain Free Press


Yesterday, says the Gazette, we received
through the mails a notification from the
publishers of the Press and Times, through
which we are informed that
No publication or advertisement, direct
ed or required by law, is now valid, unless
it appears in the official journals of the
State This includes chancery sales, sher-
IFS sales, marshall's sales, constabie's
sales, trustees sales, and all tax sales,
guardian notices and settemeut5s executor
or administrators notices. coup drt
clerk notices, insolyeat aotiei
dent notices, attachment nosi05s
ton Of partnerships, staseman
from insurance companies, notices
ings required in charters Of eorperss
ETC., etc. 1t indeed includes every al
required by law, and every publication fe-
quired by any Court from that Of a Justice
to the Supreme Court. The law also Cow
ers all advertisements Of officers in their
official capacity. The title obtained to
property acquired at a sale illegally adver-
tised. when required by law to be advertis-
ed, is Of course worthless.
On this subject the remarks Of the Gal
latin Examiner are as pertinent as any We
could indite
If our people-if the white men Of Tenn
essee. are not wholly unmindluI of their in
terests and duties, they will give an imme-
date aud liberal support to their newspa-
per presses. The Radical Legislature has
done all in its power to crush out Conserv-
alive papers, by forbidding the publication
of all legal advertising in any except in 6
few papers of their own stamp, which have
no circulation in the country, except among
their own "bummers and carpet-bag men. ,
It's effect has been already to stop the issue
of one capital paper al Winchester, and w
hear of others which will suspend unless
better backed by their people. And it vii
be SO all over the State unless our whit
people open their purse, and give them
paying support.
We say to our people, in all seriousness
that there is great danger to the perma
nency of the Conservative press in Tennes
see, which can only be averted by their &C
tive support. If the press is worth any
thing to people it is worthy of hberf
backing.

In our hasty mention last week of the
honored dead who sleep in our cemetery,
and whose graves were decorated by the
ladies of Pulaski on The 10th inst, we I'M
intentionally omitted the names of two
brave men. We allude to Lieut.. VIM. J.
AeNairy and VIM. Ballentine, who fell
pierced by score or more of the enemy's
bullets at the foot OF Lookout Mountain on
the day Of Forests grand charge against
the routed array of Roseerans after the bat
tie Of Chicamauga. Their manly courage
and heroic sacrifices entitle them to an
hOnored position upon the list of their coun-
tTy's dead heroes.

The Concert.

According to previous announcement the
music class of Miss Edmundson gave
public entertainment on Friday night last.
The hall was crowded to its utmost capaci-
ty by an intelligent and aPpreciative audi
ence, who seemed to abandon themselves
entirely to the enjoyment Of the occasion.
The hall was very poor one for music,
yet, if we are to judge of the sentiment of
an audience by the demonstration it makes,
then We may congratulate the class aud the
teacher upon their success. There ic a uni
versal desire on the part of the public to
have the concert repeated, and we join the
public in the hope that Miss E. viii ere
long crafty this desire. The instru-
ment used on the occasion was one of great
volume and brilliaucy, and is for sale by
Mr.. J. N. Mackenzie.

of splendid machine has been made to the
authorities, and while they are convinced
of the importance. and We might say ne

they prefer to &C insult the viii of their mas
ters. the people, before they take the re-
sponsibility Of acting in this matter. Would
that all our representatives. we're half so
considerate and honest We do not know
at this writing what action the meeting
will take, but we cannot believe that the
property owners Of Pulaski will refuse to
stand by the Board in this important mat
ter. A machine worth SO. 500 is offered to
us for 81 800. A volunteer FIRE company
can be raised and equipped in ten days al
little or no expense, and then with an ap-
preparation Of $1,000 from the County Court
to build a couple of large cisterns on the
square, Pulaski will be in a condition tc
give battle to ''the fire king" which has
heretofore dealt SO roughly with her pro
perty. We will publish the proceedings o.
