Another Texas. Tragedy-FOur
- SDesperadoe ,I1iHed.A q

\
We learn from 4 gentleman who
resides few miles from the town
Of fmontgomery, in this State, that a
bloody tragedy occurred last week
Four men were killed, and the town
for while presented the appearance
of Il battle field on small scale.
The circumstances, as near as we
can gather them from q hasty con-
,yersation, are about as follows: 80
i, a desperate, whose name we did
not learn, recently appeared in Mont
gcmery, and, in short time made
himself odious to the citizens by his
quarrelsome disposition. He gath
cred around him, however, several
friends, who, it proved, lost their
lives in erdeavoring, to stand by him
in his difficulties. -.. -.,.
This desperate was also suspected
of passing counterfeit money, and
of having been horse thief. .s
On the day Of the tragedy he rode
his horse into the store Of Messrs.
Smith &c Peal, and on being ordered
o1t he drew his pistol, but before
he could fire he was fired upon by
Mr.. Smith or Peal, with a double
barrel shot gun. Although badly
wounded he ran out into the street
and by some fatality met party
of citizens who were hunting him
for the purpose of arresting him fol
passing counterfeit money. He rar
in another direction, when some enc
in the party fired upon him and he
fell. A Mr.. Oliver and two brothers
named McGrew (who it seems were
in the habit of associating with the
desperate ran to his rescue with
their pistols drawn, when they were
fired upon by the crowd and all three
killed. sal T. a- ..- s..-

June so, 1868, the sum of onehund-

was five per cent. The heavy items
in this account are the taxes paid on
the Indulgence of popular appetite.
The amount received, for instance,
from the tax On chewing and smoh-
ing tobacco was, in round numbers,
fifteen million dollars Add to this
the cost of production aud dealers
profits, which is estimated to be five
times more than the revenue tax
amounting to seventy five million
dollars. All the railroads paid to-
gether less than seven millions, the
insurance companies less than two
millions, and the telegraph and ex
press companies not Il million be

A Washington correspondent of

the CInclnnaCl commercial says:
General Grant authorizes the
statement that the articles written
by an occasional correspondent of
the World, and purporting to relate
conversations or furnish opinions
of'his in regard to public men and
public matters, are utterly without
foundation, No human being has
ever listened to such conversations
as those reported. General Grant
would not deem it becoming in him
to contradict the articles in question
if they simply effected himself, but
as! they are evidently written with a
view to embroil his relations with
prominent gentlemen, most Of them
his political or personal friends, or,
at least, to outrage, their just sensi-
bilities, he desiates,\in this instance,
from his usual course, and pro-
nounces the articles alluded to in
correct, indelieatc aud impertinent
in an extraordinary degree. .,.i,,~ -,

THE New York Times, of the 16

THE New York Times, of the 10th
inst, thus comments on Gen. But
ler's financial theories:
In the matter of finances Gen
Butler is still ahead Of the whole
crowd, and we think will continue
to be so. Instead Of confining his
attention to the various schemes
proposed for paying the public debt,
and getting back to specie payments,
he goes the ",whole hog" and insists
on seuer going back to specie again,
inasmuch as specie is ''relic of
barbarlsm,'' and the only true cur
rency ;--he only kind of money fit
to be used by a free and enlightened
people, is an 'sinconvertible paper
currency that is notes promising
to pay specie but never intending
to. do SO. The General develops
and argues this proposition at great
length in an elaborate speech which
he read in Congress on Tuesday.
We don't think anybody, in Con
gress or out, can go much further
than this in speculations. about the
Currency question. The General
himself can do nothing more bril-
liant in the line of financial discov-
cry, but he will probably proceed
at, once to apply his theory to Gov
ernment bonds, and every other form
of promises to pay,--as vel! as to
the particular style of notes known
as greenbacks. And why not ex-
tend it to pirate promises as well
as public? Why should Govern
ment monopolize the right to prom
iso without intending to perform :?
We are curious to, see who will be
the first member of Congress to
second the Generals device.

Sue Murphy was loyal woman
resident in the South during the re
bellion, whose property was destroy
ed by our army and she now asks
from Congress that the Government
may compensate her for her losses.
We doubt if the principle can be ad
mitted. Loyal citizens. who resided
within tue enemy''s territory during
hostilities were subject to the
chances Of war, and liable to suffer
it's losses on the same terms as other
people There were loyal citizens in
Charleston when Gilmore bonn
,harded it, and in Vicksburg when
Grant bombarded it, and in Peters
burg when it was bombarded; and
their property was necessarily de-
stroyed, without-any distinction be-
tween it and other property. Gil
more and Grant could not point
their guns at rebel houses only !;
they could only direct their guns
against a reber city, and the fact of
its being a rebel stronghold justified
the use Of whatever means were
necessary to it's reduction. OF
course if right and Justice require
that we should pay the losses of all
residents of the South who now
claim that they we're loyal, then
they should be paid without any
more ado about it, But we hold
that even on such grounds, we are
not called upon to pay there claims.
We might have done as has been
done in the case Of other wars we
might have eonfscated the property
of rebels, and therefrom remune-
rated loyal people for their losses !;
but the sentiment of the country
was opposed to confiscation. and it
was soon evident that nothing could
be done in that direction. All we
can now do for those who were
loyal is to to secure them protec-
ton, and give them the opportunity
of retrieving the losses they suffered
by the accident of their being mem
bers of rabellious community.

MAN KILLED The CleveIant

MAN KILLED The Cleveland
Herald of last week says: si
! On Tuesday night an employe of
the Lake Shore road, named Ed
Gage was killed at .Wakeman, on the
Toledo Division, under the following
circumstances +: He was foreman Of
a freight train, to which were at
tached a number of coal cars having
a spring door for the greater facility
in dumping coal. Soon after the
train left Wakeman he started to go
to the cabonse in the rear, and was
walking over the coal cars. Inadver-
family, it is supposed he stepped up
on one of these spring doors, which,
giving way with him, precipitated
him to the track beneath the cars.
His presence being missed on the
train, an inspection revealed the
open door, and his fate was at once
surmised. the train was imm ediately
set upon the back track, and Mr..
Cages remains were discovered in
a terrible mutilated state near Wake
man station. His head had been cut
in to. just above the eyes, and the
top part was some twenty feet from
the track. One arm lay, near bv,
completely severed, while his right
leg had also been cut off and thrown
to the opposite side of the track.
His body and the discovered mem
bers were taken up and carried back
to Wakeman, where they now lie
waiting to be claimed by his friends.
He was apparently about twenty
years of age, but whether he leaves
any family or not is not known. He
formerly resided ia Berea.
