MOB VIOLENCE IN TENNESSEE.
The Governor Asks for Special Leglsiution-
OrganiZed VtlIainy.


Governor Senter has submitted message to
the General Assembly of Tennessee, asking for
special legislation to suppress the crimes of vio-
lence so common in that State. He says:-
1t is with profound regret realize the neces-
sity of directing your attention to the alarm
ingy frequent violence to the peace and dignity
of the State, in the maltreatment and even
atrocious murders of her citizens by persons
generally reported in disguise or unknown.
Many of the States citizens have been outraged
in their privileges and persons by cruel indigni-
ties; not few slain outright, without charge
of having in anywise offended the laws; while
Others under criminal charges have been forci-
bly, wrested from the custody of law, and their
blood deliberately shed by bodies of men without
the least shadow of authority. That these
enormities can be in our midst without the per-
petrators in single instance being even arrested
TO answer for their lawless and criminal acts,
demonstrates the existence of organization on
their part, not only dangerou to the individual
citizen and adverse to the public dignity, but
formidable even to the public peace and safety.
AS not single arrest has yet been
made for the grossest violation of already exist
ing laws, although such violations have been
frequent, and the largest rewards allowed have
been often If not invariably offered to bring to
justice it may be fairly concluded that such
offenders are protected by organizations ade-
Quate, by terrorism, the force of numbers, or
other means, to effect security against the ordi-
nary civil process and officers OF the law. The
public misfortune seems not so much want of
law as lack of power to enforce that we have. L
recommend that our statutes be so amended that
the Executive shall have power at his discretion,
to appoint for counties where such violations
of law are committed, and no arrest of
the offenders made, special officers, with all of
the powers of sheriffs to summon posses, make
arrests and do all like things necessary to bring
offenders to justice; such officers to be commits
stoned peace officers OF the State, and clothed
with all the protection in exercise of their law
full powers and duties, which can be afforded
officers of the law; and also, that the Executive
be authorized by law to appoint and commission
special prosecuting attorneys in judicial circuits
where there may be, in his judgment, default on
the part of the regular Attorney General in the
| proper prosecution of such offenders to indict-
| mentand conviction in the courts-such appoint
ments by the Governor to be confirmed by the
| Senate IL in session.

Republicans Dissatisfied with HIlssissippi
Anairs-SeriOus Charges Against the Colored
Senator.
A Washington despatch states:--The Senate
Judiciary Committee has held meeting TO take
into consideration the cases of Georgia and
Mississippi. The colored Senator elect, Mr..
Revels, was examined in relation TO matters in
Mississippi. The committee do not appear to
be entirely satisfied in relation to that State.
1t seems, ALSO that n spirit of opposition is
gaining strength in the Senate against Mr..
Revels. A variety of charges are circulating
which, If correct will probably prove an obsta-
Gle In the way of his admission to n seat We're
Mr.. Reves a white man, all that has been said
about this man would permanently destroy his
chances.
One of the charges alleged against him is that
he participated in church brawl in st. Louis,
and was laid out by a tap on the pate with
bottle. At Leavenworth Kansas, he Is charged
with embezzling church funds. According to
the allegations the peregrinatious of the Senator
elect were mainly induced by his conduct. The
Democrats at first talked of opposing the admis-
sion of Revels, but since these new facts have
turned up they seem disposed to see what will
be done with this sable worthy. Ii Is under
stood however, that Senator Vickers, of Mary
land, is still determined to object to the admis-
sion upon the grounds that Revels is not con-
stitutionally eligible to seat in the Senate. The
objection to Revels on account of immortality is
not considered fatal for a Senator OF the United
States,

The Corliss sPatents-PetItion for an Extension.
Special DespatoA 20 7As Evening TsIe0raph
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Amongst other re-
monstrances sent TO Congress against the eXten-
sion Of Corlss patent Is a very strong one from
Zachariah Allen, of Rhode Island, conclusively
showing that Corliss was not the first and
original inventor of the improvement in the
steam engine which resulted from the abolition
of the throttle valve and the introduction of the
system Of regulating the engine by combining
the regulator with a liberating valve-gear as is
apparent from the specifications Of the letters
patent of the United States, granted to Allen in
1854 Further, Allen claims that to grant the
extension to Corliss would bestow on him for
seven years longer a reward for benefits which
have been conferred upon the world by Allen,
and because Corliss employs the detach-
able valve and valve mechanism invented and
patented by Frederick Il. sickels, in the year
1S42, with which valve and mechanism he has
combined the regulator, and thus engrafted
Aliens Improvement in the system Of regulating
the steam-engine upon the Sickes invention in
valves and valve-gearing.
A very formidable opposition will be made
before the Committee on Patents 10 the extern
sion. He (Corliss) has for many years laid the
engine-builders of the United States under heavy
contributions TO him on an invention and i'm
provement of which 1t is claimed he is not the
inventor, and suits are now pending between
him and other parties as to the validity of his
patent II is not probable that the Committee
on Patents will, with the proof that has been
and will be laid before them, report in favor of
the extension. 1t is said that Corlss has already
realized over a million of dollars from this
patent

LUNACY OR LEGACY!
The Fort Edward n1illiner's Legaey-Miss Gray
Expects the mOney-she II Surprised at MIR
ArchibaId,s Letter.

The Fort Edward niilliner's Legaey-ATis Gray
Expects the Money-she is Surprised at Mr..
Archibald's letter.
A correspondent of the Troy Press has visited
Miss Helen Gray, the Fort Edward milllner, who
was reported some weeks ago as having received
legacy from young gentleman In England, to
whom she was engaged to be married. Miss Gray
relates the following the true story of her love
and her legacy
In the latter part of the year 1861 she became
acquainted with young gentleman of excellent
character, an American, and not an Englshman
as has been reported. His father and mother
came from England shortly after their marriage,
and the son was born In thie country, and had
always resided here. The mother had died
several years before Miss Gray became ac-
quainted with the son. By the death of q rela-
tive on the mothers side, o large fortune was
left to the son, and In June, 1862 he went over
to London to take possession of 1t. 1t was his
wish to marry Miss Grey and take her with him;
but, as he expected to return soon she preferred
to remain with her mother. Three months after
leaving the country lin September, 1S62) he
died at London of quick consumption, leavingno
relative but his father, and having made will
by which he bequeathed his property to Miss
Gray. She at first had no intention of accepting
the legacy, but being urged to do SO by the
young mans father, who had gone to England,
and died there in 1867, she instituted proceed
ings TO secure it soon after his death. Concern
ing the measures she has taken to secure her
fortune, she thinks it prudent to say nothing.
What little she has said she says has been
grossly misrepresented. She declines to state
the amount of her legacy. She says the public
have fixed the amount and they seem to be sat
isfied with their estimate. Miss Gray has never
said word about any millions of dollars, but
she has been piqued by the gossiping of the
people about her, and has not taken much pains
to enlighten them. She says, however, that
she is now confident of getting the money,
and can afford to wait until that event
for the gossiping to subside. The pro-
ceedings have progressed slowly by reason
of want of money, as she would not borrow
money of friends, for 1t was early discovered
that there was some obstacle in the way, the
nature of which she does not exactly compre-
hend. She admits that she has been offered
several thousand dollars by her friends, but she
denies that she has ever accepted dollar of the
money offered. She has been to Washington
and New York several times on this business,
and has seen the British Consul. The published
letter of Mr.. Archibald, stating that he knew
nothing whatever about her or her case, sur
prised her greatly. There would seem to be a
mistake of Identification on her part, or some
body else has passed himself off as Mr.. Archi-
bald.

All the accounts of Traupmann's execution
agree about the struggle which took place on
the scaffold after he had been strapped down on
the fatal plank, and the idea Is that he attempted
to force himself into the lunette, receive the
blow on his shoulder and be MANNED, not killed.
However, Monsieur de Paris is a powerful and
expert individual, and soon mastered his
victim. There is an anecdote told
here of powerful fellow called Mont
charmont who was condemned TO
death at Macon, for having killed hye gend-
armes; on the scaffold he seized hold of the
executioner pushed his hand into the lunette,
and touched the spring. The executioneF was
badly placed, and only received a cash on the
crown of the head; but he went mad. Mont
charmont was taken back to prison, tried for
this new offense and again sentenced TO death.
This time he was strapped, but he made a vio-
lent effort TO escape the knife and was only
wounded. 1t was only on the third attempt that
Moutcharmont expiated his crimes.

I Tuesday Feb. 8. 1870. !
The Philadelphia money market has recovered,
the past week, some of its losses of the pre-
ceding one. The loans have expanded $11S, ,905;
the deposits sos, 842, and the clearings $3 no.,
1853. AS an offset to this improvement, how
ever, there is decrease in specie of $37, ,95S,
and in legal tenders of 80 go but this falling off
is not likely to affect in the least degree the pre-
sent tone of the market. The banks have been
free lenders, as the balances show, and as the
rates are quite low and likely to continue so for
a while, the market may be considered perfectly
satisfactory to the borrowing classes.
We quote call loans nominal at per cent,
and discounts at per cent for choice names.
Gold opened this morning at 1905, from
which time we have no New York quotations,

There was some activity ut the Stock Board,
but prices were rather weak. In State loans
there were sales of the third series of skies at
10S and of the coupon iives at 9313. City skies

Houk and his men entered the rear door to pre-
vent any escapes from the building. This ac-
complished, the entire force ascended the stairs
but when they arrived at the door of the "bank

the officers voices, those inside hastily caught
up the gambling apparatus and secreted it, at
