In the Supreme Court the case OF J. II
Mckee vs. the United States was decided
The case involved claims for cotton and
other property captured at Alexandra,
louisiana by the naval forces in 1864
The claimant was resident of New Or
leans, traded beyond the lines under a
permit of the treasury agent and by vir-
tue of license of military authority.
The cotton, etc, was purchased from R.
W. Mckee, distant relative Of claimant,
and an agent of the Confederate treasury
department.
The decision below against ). III. Nc
Kee is affirmed. the court holding that,
under acts of Congress operating on cap
tured property, any treasury agent who is
sued permit authorizing trade with the
enemy beyond the military lines did SO
without warrant Of law, and the permit was
void.
A permit granted by military authority
is equally as void. The claimant had new
er legal right to the property in ques-
ton, because it had been purchased from
an agent Of the Confederate government.

Tar and Feathers.


I On last Monday night party of seve.
raj disguised men proceeded to the resi-
dence of Jacob Whip on Main Street,
took him out and administered TO him q
coat Of +" Tar and Feathers" Whip is the
man Of whom we have previously made
mention in our columns, andwho, it is al
legged has been endeavoring to persuade OF
force his step daughter to marry him. For
this purpose he went to Louisiana few
weeks ago, but did not succeed as we are
informed. We presume it was for this in
tended outrage against the laws Of God
and the land, that this sanitary punish
ment has been visited upon him. While
we cannot find language to express our
adherence Of the contemplated crime. we
can but deprecate the unlawful means
which have been employed in visiting pun
ishment upon the criminal We depre-
cate mob law in every form and trust that
the perpetrators Of this outrage will be
ferreted out and punished as they deserve

Republican Meeting at Liberty.


An immense mass meeting Of the Re-
publicans of Amite County was held at
Liberty, on Saturday, the 10th inst Over
two thousand were present. Speeches were
made by Col. Musgrove. Capt. Pease, Col
Perez, Capt. Carter, Gen. Anderson and
Maj. CASTILLO. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. McCloy, the Conservative
Democratic Candidate for State Treasu-
rer was there and got badly used up in a
discussion with Col. Musgrove. At the
close of the meeting the whiskey which
the unterritied had imbibed during the day
got up to boiling heat and extended its
fury in tearing down the stand and other
boisterous manifestations. 1t would be
well for them to have a care in such oper-
ations, or in tearing down Republican
stands they might get caught nnder some
ofthe planks. 1t is dangerous sport, es-
pecially in Amite. At the close ofthe
meeting the following resolutions were
adopted
Resolved, That the Republicans OF Amite
County endorse the platform Of the Re.
publican Party, adopted at Jackson, on
the Both of September, and pledge our
united support Of the nominees of the
Party.
Resolved, That the thanks Of the Re
publicans of Amite County are due and
are hereby rendered to Gen. Amcs, the
Commander of the 4th Military District,
for the able and impartial administration
of the State, and the protection afforded
under it to the loyal masses Of her popu-
lation.
Resolved, That the thanks of this meet.
ing are rendered to COL H. Musgrove,
Capt. Pease, Col. L. w Perce, Capt. Car
ter and Gen. Anderson, for their able and
interesting address on thseoecasion and
especially de we tender opr thanks to Maj.
E. J. CASTILLO, the " old wheel-horse" of
the Republican Party in the State, for his
able and manful defence Of the rights of
the colored man on all occasions and I'M
der all circumstances, and his faithful ser.
vices in support Of the doctrines of the
Republican Party.
Amite has walked up and will give a
good report on election day.

Tennessee Politics.

Especial to the Cincinnati Gazette.l


Especial to the Cincinnati Gazette.1
NASHVILLE. October IL.
Governor Senter's message to day was
far the ablest and best state paper pro-
duced in Tennessee for years. Immedi-
ate enfranchisement Of rebels was earnes
tly recommended. The ratification Of the
fifteenth amendment was pressed by him
with skill, tact, adroitness, and force that
demanded the respectful attention of
even its enemies, and that will go far to
give him a national reputation. The free
school system was deservedly praised for
the wonderful result gained in tho two
years of its existence, and its continuance
and generous support warmly urged. The
sale Of all delinquent railways and the use
of the proceeds in lessening the State
debt was presented as the only way out
Of the wretched condition of our finances.
The Legislature was asked to do some.
thing effectual towards bringing in popu-
lation and capital to develop the amazing
resources of Tennessee Proper notice
was taken of the State Prison and the
States charity. Governor Senter is to-
night rated much higher by all parties
than ever before.

In reply to this question we say that
uIless it be such things as monthly roses.
or other half hardy shrubs that are to be
protected by being covered or otherwise
during the winter. 1t is best not to prune
them in the fall, as when pruned, the
shoots are apt to be killed back one, two
or more eyes from where they were cut.
We are no advocates oil pruning ornament
al shrubs or trees at any time, as their
beauty is much enhanced by letting them

Gray's mills, and allowed to sink into a bed
of quicksand The break occurred where the track
was laid across peat bog and took place while
gravel train which had been run on that part OF the
track was being unloaded. Three of the cars began
10 sink rapidly, i'll few minutes after the work of
unloading had commenced, and IN q short time one
of them was below the surface An attempt was
made to draw the other two on the track, but it
failed, and during sunday afternoon and yesterday
the continued 10 sink, and at last accounts they
were about twelve feet below the surface. About
two hundred and twenty-five laborers were at work
yesterday on the track, but the Telayng of it has
been found to be dinicut than was at first sup
posed The bog is quite large; and where the track
crosses 1t is about one hundred yards broad. 1t was

Onicial Report from Admiral IOn.
The Navy Department has received advices from
Rear Admiral Hon, dated Matanzas, May 81 in
which he says he left Havana on the Goth ultimo and
arrived at Matanzas on the same day, where he and
his officers were received and entertained by the
officer OF the jurisdiction at his palace
The Admiral was much surprised to find that the
feeling of animosity between the volunteers and the
Cuban element was much less bitter than he had
been led to believe at Havana. In fact from APP
pearances a stranger in Matanzas would never sus-
pect revolution was raging in the island and Ame-
rcan commerce, which is quite extensive here, is
unmoested, and the merchants and shippers are
carrying on their business as in times of peace
