AT a meeting Of a portion of the cili-
zens of Grundy county, at the Office of j.
NJ. Bouldin Eco, J. NJ. Bouldin was called
to the chair, and John Scruggs appointed
Secretary. Then the following preamble
Sanders Esq, and unanimously adopted :
Whereas, 1t has pleased an inscrutable
Providence in its Advise dispensation to
remove from our midst Gen. Adrian North
cut. He departed this lifeat his residence,
in Grundy county, on the morning OF the
10Th Of January, 1869, aged sixty-nine
wears, three months and six days. His
illness continued for some three weeks of
pneumonia fever, during which time he
bore himself with patience and resigna
ton rarely exhibited. He was for many
years a member of our State Legislature,
where he always endeavored to truly and
faithfully reflect the will and wish Of his
constituents. And if he did not bring to
bear the brilliant talent and ability of 9TH
ers in the discharge of his public duties,
the want Of it was more than compensated
by his sterling integrity and patriotism.
In the war with Mexico he sacrificed
ease and tranquility at home for the hard
ships and privations of a soldiers life, in
order TO advance his country's good.
When the rebellion commenced in 1861,
he took bold and unequivocal stand with
the Southern people, and remained true
and inhexible TO his principles, 10 the ter
minatiOn of the war, when he quietly and
peaceably resumed the cultivation of his
farm He was beloved and esteemed by
all who knew him, for his honesty of pur-
I'll Ia 10 hR
occupied no ambiguous position, when he
located himself on any question his
friends and the people knew where to find
him, and that he was in earnest, and that
there would be no shifting or evasion.
Sometime iu the autumn of 1867, he at
tached himself to the Baptist church and
illustrated by his walk the life of Chris
tian. He was more than an average man,
and now that he is no more, we can the
better appreciate his worth, and his many
noble and excellent traits of character.
He leaves behind him, wife and children,
and numerous friends TO mourn his death,
but they sorrow not as those who have no
hope, but comfort themselves that they will
meet him again in that world where the
spirits of the just are made perfect.
"On the cold cheek of death,
Smiles and roses are blending,
and beauty immortal awakes from the tomb |
Therefore Resolved, That in the death |
of Gen. Adrian Northcut, society has been
deprived of useful member, the country |
Of an estimsble citizen, and the church of a
consistent Christian, a true patriot and
Resolve That we deeply synpathize
with his bereaved family in the manifold
loss that they have sustained, Of an affec-
iionate husband and father.
Resolved, That these proceedings be
published in the Nashville UNION AND
and the Men Era at McMinn-
Vile.

IsnIGNArIox MEETING.
Slim Acknowledgment by Ogflvi
ByrOn Young.


Slim Acknowledgement by OgtIvie
Byron Young.
The meeting held at the markethouse
last night to protest against the adoption
of an amendment offered by Mr.. Lindsley
in the Senate few days ago, giving the
fudge of the Circuit Court the power to
appoint his own jurors and attendants,
thereby taking it from the hands Of the
County Commissioners, was poorly at
tended, there not being more than thirty
persons present.
The meeting was organized by the APP
pointment Of a negro named Kelly. He
stated the object Of the meeting in few
remarks and then introduced 10 the crowd
Mr.. Warner Jordan, the representative
from Chatham county, who expressed his
indignation Of the proposition in a quite
lengthy speech. In the course of his re-
marks he said that there was no man in
the Legislature who could get measure
through more rapidly than he could, and
contradicted the statement in one Of the
morning papers, stating that Major Grant,
enc of the Commissioners had been lobby
ing around the Legislature, Eendeayoring
to get that measure defeated.
Ogilvie Byron Young then addressed
the assembly in lengthy speech, denounc-
ing the present Judge in unmeasured
terms, saying that before he was elected
Judge he had not practiced law in Mag
istrate's Court, or even in the Police Court
and that now he was attempting to unite in
his own hands the power of appointing
jury to carry out his own behests.
Next followed DIR. Jones, the defeated
candidate for Alderman in Edge6eld, with
a speech couched in glowing" language
An old negro man, named McGavock, was
so pleased at the "Docthors" remarks tina
every once in while he would give yell
much to the amusement Of the crowd, anC
greatly to the indignation of the Chair
man, Kelly, who, after telling him to stol
three or for times, undertook to stop hin
by force, when he was met by a policeman
and quoted down.
Some one in the crowd then offered the
following resolutions which were adopted
and the meeting adjourned until Monday
night:
Resolved, That we the citizens Of David
son county respectfully request our Senator
and Representatives of the General Assem-
bly,, of the State ofiTennessee, TO oppose tn
passage Of the bill now pending in tina
body, taking from the county Commission
ers theright to appoint jurors and attend
ants of the court and place the same in tn
hands of the Judge of the court.
We regard the measure as calculated to
lead to invidious distinctions, dangeroH
precedent, and calculated to open the doc
to collision and injustice.
Further, we thank the Hon. Warrel
Jordan for his watchfulnes, and interes
in our behalf, and trust be will be able t.
protect this, one of the clearest rights
i guaranteeing TO every citizen a fair an,
unbiased hearing in all matters Of adjudi

FIRST BOARD,

The New York Post Of the afternoon oil
the 10Th inst. says: In The money market
there is a perceptibly improved demand,
and the rate on loans is sharp seven per
cent. The recent advance in prices at the
Stock Exchange is the only reason as
signed for the activity, there being as yet
no indications that artificial means have
been employed TO embarrass loans. There
is a large and well-distributed demand for
government securities from investors Pur-
ehsses by country banks continue, and we
hear that one house this MOI inning received
a single order for 100000.
The New York Journal Of Commacs
dwells upon the fact that the recent decision
of the Supreme Court of he United States,
on the question of taxing bank capital,
settles at least one question in relation to
greenbacks. The so-called Omitted States
notes" are not MONEY, and that being set
tied, the editor goes on to show the i'm
portant practical results which must neces-

"The State undertook to tax the capital
of the banks. These institutions commended
that the portion Of their capital invested
in United States securities was not taxable,
since that would be levy on the govern
ment obligations that were beyond the lien
of the State authorities. After this gene
raj principal had been established by pro-
longed litigation, it then became question

and the 7.30 and other Treasury notes. Il |
was claimed that as these were designed for |
currency, and Issued instead of money,
they were not such loans of the United |
States as were exempt from taxation under
State authority. The decision Just pro-
nounced by Chief Justice Chase classes
these issues with the government bonds in,
their claim of exemption. The certificates
of Indebtedness the court exempts, because
they were received instead of money at a
time when full money payment for supplies
was impossible, and are, as such, beyond
the taxation power of the States as the
operations themselves, in the furtherance
Of which they were issued. The Treasury
notes are exempt because they, too, bind

THE WHITES CREEK PANTHER.
Rumors and Facts.

RumOrs and Facts.
A report reached the city yesterday that
the much.dreaded panther, which had
been terror to the people of Whites creek
for week past, and which had devoured
large number Of cattle, sheep and hogs,
was killed on Friday evening last by Mr..
Watson. That gentleman, says the report,
was on his way home, riding along the
public road in a buggy, when sud
denly he discovered the monster emery
ing from a strip of woods, with
his eyes blazing, and making directly for
him. The ferocious looking animal had
proceeded to within ten steps ofthe buggy,
when Mr.. Watson fired upon him. The
report of the pistol 60 frightened the horse
which Mr.. Watson was driving that he
ran away, and he was not ableto check him
until he reached the gate leading to his
farm. Mr.. Watson did not know the re-
snlt of his firing, and thought it imprudent
to return that night, but going to the spot
early yesterday morning, he discovered
the animal bathed in his blood, stiff and
cold in death. The ball took effect in the
neck, close behind the ear. Mr.. Watson
has preserved the skin, and intends having
it stuffed. H#
This report was generally believed until
the arrival of Mr.. Garrett, well known
citizen of that section, who contradicts the
statement, and says that the panther is still
at liberty, roaming through the country,
and although seen several times has never
been fired upon. Mr.. Garrett was so close
upon him one day last week that he could
have fired, but his gun was loaded with
squirrel shot, and he thought it best to gel
