A contemporary makes complaint against
President Grant for keeping retinue of
-':1--- ~t'o"Ionts in his employment and
join. We have deeply sympathised with
the President in his cabinet troubles, and
now that he has full set of advisers sworn
in and his ears are constantly rung with
rumors of their leaving his service, we think
he is perfectly justified in keeping guard
over them. We know there is no warrant
in any public statute, even as far back as
1889, for this proceeding, but we put our
approval of it on grounds of the exigencies
of the public service. The country can't
get on without cabinet, and if the strong
arm of the nation is required to keep one
it must lie exerted. Save the country, and
then we can patch the constitution il it
gets hurt.

A st. Louis female sutfragist complains
in the papers Of the indignities offered her
sex by hotel keepers in refusing them cd.
mittanee unless they are known to be re.
spectacle or are accompanied by gentlemen.
She cites the case of the president of the
women's rights society Of that city who was
recently refused admission to Willard hotel
at Washington because she was travelling
alone, and Of the president of the Sorosis OF
Chicago who was refused accommodations
at the Planters Hotel of ST. Louis for the
same reason. We suggest as remedy for
the evil complained of that every female who
wishes to travel without being encountered
by a male escort marry and secure from
her lord travelling permit certifying to all
whom it may concern that the bearer is
female in good standing at the head of his
domestic establishment and that she has
license 10 boss him around. If she can not
condescend to fetter herself with the re.
straints of marriage, let her black her face
and kiuk her hair and personate lady Of
African descent for no hotel keeper or pro-
pretor of public conveyance dare exclude
colored ladies from their respective places,
as that would be violation of the Civil
Rights Bill. Women having the misfortune
to wear plain instead Of q colored cutcle
have no rights which Congress requires any
body to respect, though ladies of color are
sbundantly cared for.

The Sentcr Organ.

The Nashville Press and Times, the
organ of Governor Senter, has the fol-
lowing pretty talk over the situation:
The spirit of liberty is marching on
to victory. Universal Suffrage is NOV
ing the tide of the great political ocean.
Its current ought not to be resisted.
Let us look not back upon the past ;
burn all the bridges over which we
have crossed; blot out political errors ;
leave the laws to redress personal
wrongs and injuries; look only to that
which reflects the glory Of the Ameri-
can people, and all unite in building up
our country and State.
Senter, Suffrage; and then law and
order. The first Thursday in August
will restore harmony among the people,
and start Tennessee on the high road to
prosperity.

The Resigned Supervisor.

The paragraph below is clipped from
the New York EUening Express. 1t is
not very complimentary to our late Su-
pervisor:
Major Jacob j. Noah has resigned his
post Of Supervisor of Internal Revenue
for the State of Tennessee. lie wishes
to 60 into the Gubernatorial canvass
with untrammcled hands. lie has been
one of Brownlow's right hand men ever
since Brownlow became prominent as a
Radical, and will now work for Brown
lows candidate. What would the hon
est old Democrat, the late M. M. Noah,
say could he see his son lying down
with such Il political bedfcllow as
Brownlow! How can New Yorker
born and bred, and reared under the su-
pervision of a Democratic patriarch,
consent to advocate negro equality, and
the oppression of the white race?
Without stopping to reason why it is,
we can inform the Express that Major
Noah has down what most New York
ers do who migrate South-instead OF
waiting to get proper view Of the stu
alton, pitch right into the wild hunt fol
Office and are always ready to take the
bounty where the pay seems likely to
be the largest. Though Northern born
ourself, we have very little use for that
sort.

An Indiana Mystery.

At Farribee's Station, Washington
county, Indiana, frame building was
destroyed by fire. In the north end of
the building was store and the rail-
road agency, also the sleeping-room of
Mr.. VIM. r. Smith, of the firm Of
Walsh & Smith. The body Of Smith
was found some thirty feet from his
room burnt to crisp, SO that it could
hardly be distinguished. The impress
sion prevails that he was assaulted and
perhaps murdered before the building
was fired. The account says: v... :.
Who committed the crime is pro-
found mystery, and viii most likely
never be fathomed. a stranger was no.
ticcd lettering about the station on the
morning before the occurrence, but
there was nothing in his appearance OF
| actions to excite any suspicion. "A man
who was noticed going toward Farribee
station, ON Wednesday evening, got
aboard yesterday mornings northward
bound train. on the Louisville, New AL
bany and Chicago Railroad, at Harris
town, and bought ticket for Mitchell.
Conductor Thos. Hanlon, upon advice
from the Superintendent, arrested him,
and he arrived, together with the corpse
of Mr.. Smith, at New Albany, last even
ing. He gives his name as John Nc
Guire, and states that he is from Tav-
lorsville, johnson county, East Tennes-
see; that he was i'll search of employ
ment, and had no particular destination
at the time he was arrested, but was 60
ing to Mitchell in search of work. He
had a pistol on his person at the time of
the arrest. His personal appearance is
not bad, but his clothes were little
rough. The prisoner was lodged in the
county Jail, in New Albany. Farribee
station is 26 miles north of New Albany.

National and state Debts.

The total debt of the States is $780,
5S4, 4,4l603. The national debt on the
lst of June, 1869, $500, ,4l2,Gl3, which
IS at the rate Of S67 6S per capita for
the whole United States. Add this to
the debt Of the States, aud we have a
debt of $7G 5S per capita for the entire
people.
The county debts of the State of New
York amount to $S3,GO3, ,0lS.90. If to
this we add city debts in the same State,
we should have an aggregate of more
than Sl00,00O,000. Add to this the coun-
ty and city debts of all the other States,
and the total result of national, State,
county and city Indebtedness would
not be less than $96 per capita for the
whole country. This, in round num-
bers, is debt Of $3,200,0 100000, as a
taxable lien upon all the industry and
property Of the nation. AT the rate OF
per cent. per annum, it requires Sl92,-
100000 to pay the annual interest on
this debt, $224,00O,Oo0 at the rate Of
per cent.
In the tables from which the above
facts are drawn, the Indebtedness oi
Tennessee is put down at S34, ,540,S07.

A Severe Case of Worms.

The White Cloud Chief publishes the
following most remarkable case of
worms on record: ,a.' t.f ..,r-.'st a-t
An old man named Christal Poff. of
German descent, living in Missouri in
the locality known as "Cracker's Neck"
has been for years afflicted with dis
ease, which took the form of inordinate
thirst, that water would not allay. He
grew worse from year to year, until
finally he became partially insane, aud
imagined that all manner of reptiles
were after him. About this time,
celebrated physician of the Uroscopian
school happened in the neghborhood,
and was called in to examine the case.
Having applied the test in his practice,
he at once pronounced it chronic case
Of worms, and Immediately set to work
to compound a remedy from well
known vegetable medicines. The mix
ture was composed of equal parts of
castor oil. wormwood, tansy, rue and
assafGtida. After administering re-
pcated doses of the compound he final
~ su8veedcd ia rtar,'ng the patient to
vomiting, when the Whole cause Of .bo
disorder came to light. He threw up
ten fish worms, three lamprey cells, sew
ell crawtish, one mud turtle, five liz
yards, two tree frogs, one bull snake.
a section of worm fence and the worm
of copper still containing sixteen
coils. lie at once spoke of being bet
ter, and has steadily improved ever
since. He has no idea how or when
these things got into his stomach, but
remembers having taken a drink Of
water when boy, which act was per-
formed by lying on his belly and drink
ing from the tail race of distillery.
Those who feel like it may doubt this
story, but we do not for we have lately
conversed with a gentleman who saw
the old man have money purse, which
he assured him was made of the skin of
one Of the ecls.

Ploughing UP Silver Coin.

On Monday last, we were shown, by
Mr.. Perry, Of the house of Bright &
Perry, five old Spanish dollars, and one
old half dollar, u. 5. coin, which were
found in the field of Nj. John Vann, of
Webber's Falls, Cherokee Nation. 1t
appears, that one day last week, Mr..
Vann was ploughiug in his field, and
his plow struck something. and stopped
his mule, and supposing it to be root.
he struck the mule with his lash, and
gave it a sudden pull, when up came
five old Spanish dollars. Mr.. V. went
to the spot where the coin appeared,
and on examination found keg full of
the coin, the slaves of the keg were
rotton, but the dollars were as sound as
when coined at the old Spanish mint
On digging he found it contained five
thousand dollars, all in old Spanish dol
