The BarmOre Mystery.

The Legislature last week was thrown
into state of excitement and alarnt
over the alleged abduction and suppos-
cd murder Of a Nashville detective nam
ed Barmore. The abduction should
have taken place at Columbia, and here
is what the Herald, printed right at the
place, says OIL the subject:
Last Monday morning our quiet big
town was thrown into quite fever Of
excitement by the sensation stories in
the Nashville papers OF that morning to
the effect that certain Nashville De-
tective named Captain Barmore, had
been quietly taken from night train at
this point, and spirited away--to nobo-
dy knows where. Now it was very hu-
initiating to the pride of Columbians
that so important all event should have
happened in their midst without the
least intimation of it for day or more
afterward. There were some who dis
credited the story altogether, and num-
berless rumors have been circulated as
to what became Of BarmOre's body,
some asserting that it was dangling
from tree few miles from town, and
others claiming that he was thrown in
to the river anG his body recovered at
Williamsport. Madame Rumor and her
satellites tried to send the coroner down
there to hold an inquest over the sup
posed dead body, and for about half q
day it was reported that he had gone;
but the Squire was too cute for that.
So much news proving entirely with
out foundation, the people became at
last quite sceptical, and believed moth
ing. 1t may be that the report of one
is correct, and that Barmore was taken
out of the car by persons in disguise;
but if so, it is singular, to say the least
of it, that no one at the depot-and sew
eral persons were there when the train
stopped-should have observed any
thing of a suspicious nature. If there
is one witness to testify in the affirma-
tive, there is much strong circumstan-
tial evidence OH the negative side.

Bill to Punish Drunkenness.

In the State Senate on the 18th, Mr..
Garner introduced a bill to punish
drunkenness and preserve the morals of
the State.
The bill requires Grand Juries in the
respective counties to carefully inquire
into the subject Of drunkenness and re-
port true bill in all cases. The parties
when found guilty shall be dealt with
by the court. 1t also makes it the duty
of the Judges of the courts to inquire
whether any member of the Grand Jury
of their courts are guilty of habitual
drunkenness If so, such parties shall be
dismissed from the jury and their places
filled by sober men.
The bill imposes upon the Justices of
of the Peace the duty of arresting and
combining in the county Jail all parties
who may, under their observation, be-
come public nuisance by intoxication,
until they become SOBER and taxing
them with the costs. Any Justice of
the Peace who shall refuse or neglect to
comply with the provisions of this act,
shall be removed from Office and fined
not less than $50.

The Troubles in overton County.

The Troubles In OvertOn County.
The Nashville Banner has been per-
mitted to make tho following extract
from letter written by General Dib-
rell, Of Sparta, to friend in that city,
which presents the Livingston disturb
ances in new light;
learn that there was quite an excite
mont in Overton County last week. On.
the night of the Sd instant eight masked
men passed through Livingston, but
did not speak to or modest any one,
They were followed and fred upon by
a party of negroes and white men, and
three of their horses captured, On tho
Monday night following two. hundred
men rode into Livingston and proceed
ed to the store of man named Stro-
mer, called him out and told him they
were for peace that they did not want
to modest any one; that while passing
through town quietly attending to their
own business he (Stromer) had sent
lot of negroes to fire upon them aud
had captured three of their horses,
which they had come back for; and that
he (Stromer) must get them; they knew
that he had sixteen armed men up stairs
ready TO fire upon them (the speaker
here naming every one of the sixteen)
but that if they were fired upon they
would kill every man in the house.
| StrOmer went out and got one of tho
horses and said the other two were i'm
Fcntrcss County. They told him to go
and get them, and they would wait for,
his return. They retired about mile
and half from town and camped, with
out taking thing from any citizen, uil-
til Stromer went to Fentress and
brought the two horses back. They then
told him that they thought this climate
did not suit him or Attorney General
Lewis, and that they had better emf
crate. Both of them agreed that they
were in the wrong place, and said they
would leave at once.
Whilst encnmpcd near Livingston,
two OF these men went to Judge Gull
Ions and shot negro, dangerously
wOunding him. The next night one of
them, named William German, was
found hanging to tree, with card
pinned to his back as follows :"W. Ger
man, hung by the X. X, for violation
of order in attempting to take the life
of an innocent negro. Our object being
to protect the innocent, and to punish
the guilty, without regard to race or
color"
Not one of the two hundred men
were disguised in any respect whatever,
and, strange to say, not one of them was
known by any person who saw them,
and as they came and went in the night,
no one knows from whence they came
or whittier they gocth. F3,t f.iH
Judge GOOdpasture made them little
speech, urging them to respect the laws !;
they replied that was exactly what they
professcd to do-that good men had
been abused and outraged in Overton
until they had determined to see that
justice was done and that all the guilty
should be punished and all the innocent
protected. ...... r, IN AZ
got my information from judge
Gardcnhier, just from them. If yousscc
anything in the papers different, froiii
this it is false. Yours truly, Seas

Federal Court.

The Federal Court is now in session
at Knoxville, his Honor Judge Trigg
presiding. We clip the following from
the Press and Herald of Tuesday:
In the case of the United States as.
Adam S. Barnes and some eighteen
others, of Sullivan county for aid and
comfort to the enemy during the rebel
lion, the jury returned verdict in IA
vor of Barnes, whose case, by previous
agreement, determined the others. The
real question was, whether the defend
ants, having taken the amnesty oath be-
fore the indictment were found should
pay the costs. The jury haveing found
that the defendant had so taken the
oath, the Court directed the costs to be
made out and certified against the Gov.
eminent. "

The New Militia Bill.

A new bill for the suppression of the
KuKluX has been passed by the Legis-
lature, and is now law. 1t amends
the law formerly passed by striking out
section 4, which requires the Attorney
General, the Senator and ten Union
men y make representations that the
laws cannot be enforced, leaving it to
the discretion Of the Governor to de-
clare martial law whenever he may
deem it necessary, 1t strikes out the
whole Of section 8, entirely interfering
the Governors hands on the question Of
military. In brief, it is the original Ku
Klux law with all the restraining pro-
visions repealed, and confers unlimited
power upon the State Executivc-ena-
bles him to call out the militia and to
declare martial law in any and all por-
tons of the State. In the language of
a member who opposed its adoption,
"places at his disposal the life, liberty
and property of the citizen"-powers
equal to those enjoyed by the Car of
all the Russias or the Grand Turk him
self. Its passage was marked by great
joy and exultation in both branches of
the General Assembly, whose members
had just been put i'll possession of adj
vices from Arkansas detailing the happy
workings of similar law in that State.
The immediate cause of its adoption is
said to have been the alleged abduction
of Nashville detective named Bar
more, by unknown parties, from rail-
raid train at Columbia, and the carry
ing off from the Jail at Murfrecsboro,
about the same time, of q negro horse
thief named Copeland, neither of whom
have since been heard of, though both
are probably alive at this time and with
parties at whose hands they are not like
ly to receive any serious bodily harm.
AT least we shall prefer so to believe
until the contrary is made to appear.
Since the above was put in type, we
have received copy of the Governors
proclamation calling loudly for Estate
Guards" (They call them Militia"
over in Arkansas.) The warlike docu-
mcnt will be found in another column.

Inducement to Immigrants.

The recent action of the Legislature
in comforting more than autocratic pow
ers on the Governor and running up an
additional bill of hundred thousand
or two, is a splendid advertisement for
immigration, and will no doubt draw
an immense tide to Tennessee. Hence
forth Father Bokum's labors will be
comparatively light and his Office prove
a siuecure.

A Dangerous Counterfeit,

A dangerous counterfeit So treasury
note is reported in circulation. 1t is
said that the easiest mode of detection
is by the green ornamental engraving
lengthwise, which in the counterfeit is
of a paler color, and consequently has q
brighter look, than the dark green of
the original. Seen under the micro
scope, the engraving of the counterfeit
is coarser than the original, and there
are some misplacements or omissions,
but to the naked eye it presents gen
uine appearance. ..r. y. t.I

others We are daily called upon to ac-
ceptas facts or to pass by without con-
tradicting.
In the absence Of some great exciting
cause men rarely act without motives,
and these are apt to DO the offspring of
that inherent selfishness common to us
all. We know that the ex-rebels and
those who sympathized with them are,
as a matter Of policy alone, interested
In the promotion of peace and quiet and
the maintenance of law and order
throughout the State. 1t is just as true,
and as easy of demonstration, that there
is class-we will not say party, for
that would be to implicate many we'll
meaning men-but class who are not
yet sufficiently gorged with the spois
and plumber wrung in the shape of tax
es from labor and industry, who are in
terested in keeping up bitterness, con-
tention and strife, for when these cease
they must fall to their proper level and
disappear from public view.
The armed rovcrs of Middle and
West Tennessee are said to be welded
together by the most fearful obligations,
and charged with committing outrages
upon dcfenceless citizens and violating
the laws in various ways. OF course,
every sober-minded citizen will at once
say that such bands ought to be prompt
ly broken up and suppressed, no matter
whether they be the veritable Ku Klux,
Loyal Leaguers, or simply hireling des-
peradocs who are employed to con-
tinuc and perpetuate reign of terror
and strife. What we want-what the
people of Tennessee want is peace and
quiet; not specious and expartc lcgis-
lation, but good, wholesome laws laws
that throw their sheltering and protect
ing provisions around all alike, and in
the rigid and impartial execution of
which all may feel that they have a
common interest. The law-maker falls
short of his duty, who, in the enact
mcnt of provisions for the punishment
of transgressors, fails to remove as far
as possible all provocation to transgres-
sion. From this mistake perhaps has
sprung many of the troubles now COM
planned of in portions of the State, and
we are afraid the recent action of the
Legislature, instead of effecting spec
dy and permanent cure, will only ag-
gravate and prolong the disease.
