A Singular Outrage in Atlanta.

The Atlanta papers of yesterday have
but very little to say with regard to the
row in that place on Tuesday night and
the subsequent action taken by General
Terry, the commandant of this Depart
ment From gentleman who arrived
here from Atlanta yesterday we get further
interesting particulars. It seems that E.
B. Pond, the proprietor of the National
Hotel, General Terry, and Governor r. B.
Bullock, were seated in front of the hotel,
at about o'clock, conversing together,
when Gaines Chisolm, a we'll known sport
ing man of Atlanta, approached the party,
followed by five or six of his friends. In
his hand Chisolm carried bucket, partly
concealed behind him, which was filed
with a very offensive compound. When
within few feet of Pond, Chisolm halted
and asked Pond "What was trumps ?"
Pond, not seeing the fatal bucket, made
some reply, upon which the "eport" ex-
claimed, "Well, it's my play now," and
emptied the contents of the bucket on
Ponds head, deluging him from head to
foot, and also splashiLg liberal supply of
the offensive material on the persons of
the Commandant of the Department and
the Governor of the State of Georgia.
AS the astonished and besmirched Off
cials started from their seats, scarcely know
ing what to think Of the unexpected show
er bath, one of Chisolm's friends fired O
pistol in the ground in order to draw O
crowd and make the joke public property.
On hearing the firing, large crowd of
course collected around the spot. and the
sporting men vamoosed, not, however, un-
til Chisolm went to a stranger, who hap
pend to be sitting near tho dignitaries at
the time of the shower, and had come in
for sprinkling himself, and begged his
pardon for the unintentional insult. No
apology was made to either Bullock or
Terry. Terry, either frightened or acting
under the advice of Bullock, which is more
probable, on the instant ordered out the
military and put guards around the hotel
On Wednesday our informant states that
troops we're marching all over the city, the
guards still retained at the hotel, and q
company of infantry under arms in the
railroad depot. No arrests had been made
up to yesterday morning.

A Quick Marriage and Short Honey
M0On,

The ST. Louis Democrat states that a few
days ago a widower from Memphis took
rooms in fashionable boarding house in
that city. He was Il man of pleasing ap-
pearance and winning ways. lie told the
landlady that he had many troubles trying
to keep house and raise two children with
out partner. The lady gave him all her
sympathy, and recommended q wife. The
widower thought the lady's daughter mani
tested all the qualities he could desire. and
he was allowed an interview. In half an
hoar the young lady consented to become
a mother TO the two sweet babes. A priest
was sent for, the marriage ceremony was
performed, and the happy couple crossed
the river to come to this city on the cars,
but unfortunately two late for them to take
the early train, and they were under the
disagreeable necessity of remaining over
night in East st. Louis.
They took room at the Sherman House
and remained all night. Next morning,
after breakfast, the husband came sud.
denly into the presence of his bride, hold
| ing in his hand o telegraphic despatch,
which he handed to her, requiring his I'M
mediate presence in Hannibal, Missouri
where business of Importance awaited him
! OF course there was no alternative but that
of leaving his new-made bride. So he
handed her the snug little sum of five hun
dred dollars in shining gold, and telling
her to go to her mother and remain with
her till his return-which would be very
short time-left her in tears, but full o.
faith in his truth and worth. The five
hundred dollars showed he was all right
there was no getting around that, SHE
thought ; but, alas it proved to be coun
terfeit. The lady thinks "there is some
mistake about it, and, says the st. Louis
paper, ha1 low Ee3n waiting several day
/ for the return of her husband, without {
word from him and while her friends art
of the opinion that he will never return
and that she has been imposed upon by
villain, che lives in hope that he will COM
back to her, and make her happy.

The Elephant Oh a Rampage.

On Friday night the elephant attached
to Ames' Circus becoming veXed, went on
a rampage, swinging around the circle"
to the CONSERVATION and dismay of the
spectators. Many OF them "saw the ele-
phant" and made tracks for the outside of
the canvass. With probosis and tail ele-
vated perpendicularly, and screaming ter
rifcally, the elephant made the crowd ''get
up and dust" He seemed to enjoy the
fun of the scene. Men hastily drew their
pistols, boys hallowed, and women tainted.
"Confusion worse confounded " reigned
for brief period and at last number of
Ames' employees said let US have peace
and with poles and clubs enforced "peace"
on the hack of the elephant-only they
operated on his rear and fanks. After this
reconstruction" "order reigned in War

and said nothing.

How to Get Rid Of a Tree.

A French journal is responsible for the
following
"In certain small provincial town one
of the residents, M. A. B., found his house
was rendered both damp and dark by the
contiguity of large tree which was incon-
veniently near to his windows. He would
gladly have had it cut down, but the tree
belonged to the commune. and was not to
be meddled with. Being man of resour-
ces, he sent for insertion to one of the Paris
papers the following paragraph
''There is still in existence one of the
trees of liberty of the date of 1893. It may
be seen at x, close to the house of M. A.
B., and the passers by reverently uncover
their heads to this venerable witness OF
our grandest struggles and our most illus.
trious victory Three days afterwards an
order came from the prefecture in Paris
for the mayor of X. to cause the said tree
to be cut down, which was accordingly
done forthwith"

The Revenue Law.
NEAR FAYETTEVILLE, n. G.,
May 31st, 1869.

MAY o1St, IOOJ J
| EDITOR OF THE EAGLE I trust you will
pardon me for asking a space in your
columns, as this is the first time IN my
life that [ ever tried to write for a news
paper.
| wish to examine the Treasures letter
I to me in your last issue, and trust [ am
not moved by wrong motives to oppose his
views.
I have been for many years aw-abiding
citizen, never had a lawsuit in all my life,
and have always submitted to 6 the powers
that be-" but in this case [ consider it SO
| plain o misconstruc ction of the constitution
and revenue law, that [ feel it my duty to
express my opinions. In my letter Of the
| 10Th inst, to the Public Treasurer, com
planned of his instructions to the assessors.
He tells them that the products Of the farm
on hand the 1st of April are subject to tax
alton. I mentioned section II, paragraph
| 5, showing that a person might rent his
| farm and the income be exempt from taxa
ton and section ~ and paragraph S,
where income from property taxed is eX-
empt
l contend that there should be no diff
| ference between farmer who sold before
the 1st April, and one who sold after and
| that the products of the farm are as much
income, as when they are converted into
money.
| MI. Jenkins says that par. 3, means an
nual income in money!, not property at all
| Now let us see what the constitution says
| While there are many things objectiona-
| BILE in that instrument, J. remember some
that are very good. In article 5, sec. 3,
there is provision that no income shall
be taxed when the property from a0hich ii
as derioed is taxed. Now, must think the
products of the farm are the farmers in
come.
Mr.. Jenkins says, "income means
money, not corn, &C., &C." AS [ am not
much of scholar, I concluded to consult
Webster's dictionary as to the meaning of
income. It says, thatit is gain which
proceeds from labor, business, property of
any kind the produce of farm, &C."
[ adhere to this definition of income and
entrench myself behind the constitution
and give in my tax list accordingly. [ ad-
wise all others who cultivate the soil to do
the same.
When the courts decide to throw away
| that venerable expounder of our language,
and take the Treasurer's definition of in
come, then we will have to make new
dictionary, and old, as we'll as young, will
have to start to school again.
Mr. Jenkins says the tax will not be
enough to hurt any person. [ judge he
will be able to say SO this time next year
if these special taxes are not funded.
