The SCHooLs.-We learn that meeting Of
the School Superintendent Of this county
has been called, to meet in connection with the
Teachers Association at Colchester Center, on
Saturday Of the present week, at II A. NJ We
venture to suggest thst Prudential Committees
might very well avail themselves of this meet
ing Of the teachers to get and give both sympa-
thy and counsel. Some Of the Superintendents,
and doubtless all. are DESTROYS that Prudential
Committees should be present and take part in
their discussions.

A LaMENTABLE OCCURRENCE;

a Supposed Murder.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
CHARLOTTE, Dec. 10, 1s7O.-On Wed
nesiay evening, the 9TH inst, James ?.
Crutcher, while on his way from White
Bluff Station, Dickson county, to his home
some two or three miles distant, was shot
and killed by an old widow woman named
DeLoach. Immediately after the occur
renee she went to the house of e neighbor,
told that she had killed Crutcher, and
after giving her reason for doing so, was
advised that as she had acted in self-de-
Tense, to go the nearest magistrate and
deliver herself up. The next morning she
went before c. L. Reynolds, Esq, an act
ing Justice of the Peace at White Bluff,
and made a statement, the substance of
which is rs follows: About dusk Crutchor,
in a state of intoxicati0n, rode up to her
gate and called ont her little son, whom
he put on his horse, telling him to ride
back a few hundred yards and get his
(Crutcher's) hat, which he had dropped
near the corder Of an old field. The boy
did as directed, but came back in
few moments saying that he could
not find the hat. CrutcheT then
told him he had not looked in the right
place, TO go back and try again. As soon as
he started the second time on his errand,
Crutcher came in the house, caught hold
of her and attempted to force her upon the
floor. Releasing herself from him she ran
screaming in the direction Of Crutcher's
house, saying that she was going TO tell
his wife He followed In pursuit, overlook
her, threw her down, and violated her per-
son. On being released she started back
L. Il, r,ll I 4,l,o
who threatened to blow out her brains if
she did not keep quiet, As she entered
the door she seized q gun, ard as CrutchsT
approached, discharged its contents in his
body near the region If the heart When
the gun fred he fell over backwards, and
she heard him exclsim Oh Lord Thinking
that he was only wounded and that her
life was still in danger, she ran up and
struck him blow over the head with the
gun, when the body became mOtionless.
There was no witness to the deed. Her
little son corroborates her statement In re-
gard to Crutcher's sending him for his hat
Mrs. DeLoach is a woman of bad charac-
ter, and having on another occasion &C
cused young man of Updoubted morality
of making a similar attempt upon her,
the truth of her story in this instance, was
not wholly credited, and she was com
misted to tbs Charlotte Jail, where she yet
remains.
James P. Crutcher was young man es-
teemed very highly in the community in
which he lived. He vas ge0tlemanly in
his general department, and was regarded
as man Of honor and integrity, his great
est fault being a proneness to put in his
month an e0en1v To steal AWAY his breins -
He leavesa wife and three children. Much
doubt is entertained as to the truth of the
woman's story, and various rumors are
afoat If anything further is brought to
light will inform you. NUNC ct TUNC.

S.ate Teachers, Assoo,n1inn.

The importance of providing for our i'm
proved system of education in this State
is generally felt, both in city and country,
and an increased interest in this respect
has lately been manifested. The State
Teachers Association, which meets this
morning, will probably discuss this ques-
ton fully, as well as other intsrestin G
questions pertaining to the intellectual
welfare of the State
The association viii, as we are informed,
assemble this morning, at 10 o'clock, il
the Senate Chamber, and addresses are
expected to be delivered by Gov. Senter,
Hon. Edmund Cooper and others. The
sessions will continue during the day and
tomorrow, and many subjects vitality af-
fecting the educational interests of the en-,
tire State will be discussed.
In order to accommodate the Associa-
ton, the Senate will meet at 9 o'clock, A
NJ, and continue in session only one hour.
In addition to the addresses, which will
doubtless be very interesting and instrue-
tive, the exercises will be interspersed
with discussions, music, election of officers

Which exhibit shows that Rollins col
lected, during his last eight months, on
some (32) thirty-two million gallons,
more than was returned during the whole
of his preceding year; that he collected
during this eight months at an annual
rate of (59) fifty-nine million gallons;
while Mr.. Delano, during his four months,
only reached the annual rate of (66) mil
lion gallons. Why that the law of 1868
was a much more effective one than
those preceding it, SO far as the tax on
spiri is concerned; and that to this effec-
tive law is due the increased revenues from
the main objects of taxation, and not to
the very superior administration of the
Commissioner Office under Mr.. DelanO
In proof of this, Mr.. Rollins gained on
himself at the rate of over (50) fifty
million gallons per snnuug and Mr.. De-
lano continued to gain, but only at the
rate of about 81 sevensmllliOn gallons
per annum, over Rollins rate, with dis
tilleries in full blast; while during Roll
Inns last eight months the dIstiIleries were
idle during three months. With regard TO
tobacco, Mr.. Delano knows that the pre-
payment by use of stamps is the feature
of the act of 1868 which has contributed
to the large increase of tax on manufac-
tured tobacco and cigars; and that the
bettered civil condition. Of the recently

INTERNAL REVENUE.
The johnson and Grant Adminis-
trattOR Compared. How is This
From the Sunday Times PHILADELPHIA

rum INC OUiitlay EHAducipu44.
Mt. Delano has made another report
the last he is to make as Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, as he has become a
Cabinet Minister. This report has had
premature publication, so it is said, and
the wonder is how it found its way to the
public clandestinely. q.
If one reads it understandingly, the
wonder will cease, and contempt for its
self praise will disclose the reason for its
hasty appearance.
Mr.. Delano, once upon time, had a
strong predisposition to Andrew Johnson
and his swinging round the circle" per-
formances. He, however, was saved
from the plunge which he meditated by
some strong hand and a very stout coat
tail, which was the link between "our
Columbus" and the aforesaid hand. Like
all apostates running from their apostasy,
he hastens to condemn those whose polit-
ieal faith he would have espoused, and, in
this report, makes a comparison between
the closing eighteen months of Andrew
JohnsOn's administration and the first
eighteen months of that of President
Grant, very much to the advantage of the
latter, in the matter of collections of in
ternal revenue.
Statements put forth by an officer of
the government should always bear the
impress of candor, and particularly so
coming from functionary like the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, or their
value will not amount 10 much for the
purpose that they are intended to accom-
plish.
Congress wants intelligent information,
and TO that end has passed laws requiring
certain officials to annually communicate
to the two Houses such information as
they may be able to give, with view to
make use thereof in framing legislation
for the carrying on of the government.
Columbus Delano has seen proper to
get up campaign document, instead of
the report which he should have made TO
Secretary Boutwell,. This comparison,
above referred TO, is clap-trap of the
most transparent kinda dodge which
might Go for pettifogger from some pro-
vincial neighborhOod, but disgraceful as
public document.
Here is the comparison in detail-the
figures being in round millions, as they
are most easily comprehended

The Humboldt LndeT says: "Crocket
county has an area of 800 square miles,
and is situated in the very garden spot,
for agricultural and mechanical purposes,
of West Tennessee. Not an acre of her
land is not highly productive; the depth
of the soil is hardly measured; not an
acre that will not yield from nine to
eighteen hundred pounds of cotton, from
twelve to thirty bushels of wheat; ali
kinds of grasses grow luxuriantly." The
country composing Crockett county is
comparatively new, owing to the heavy
timber. Although the county is new,
there are large number Of candidates
for county offices, and call has been Cir
culsted for convention at Cageville, to
discuss the propriety of some of the can
dsdates withdrawing from the field.

Sentinel, of the Sth inst, says that va

ing the killing of man in the mountains
a short time since by panther. The
version of the writer of this communica-
ton is that two men, living in the edge of
North Carolina, were about starting to
their bear-traps in the mountains between
Washington county in Tennessee, and
North Carolina, when one was delayed by
some cause, and the other started On his
journey alone. Shortly afterwards, the
man who was left behind, followed; and,
in the "Blg Mountains" came upon the
body of his companion, which was LAGER
ated in most shocking manner, his en-
trails being all torn out. A watch was
set, and panther measuring nine feet
was killed when he returned to feast upon
the body of the man he had killed

that J. d. Lewis, Radical, was elected TO

More Orderly.

There were not more than hall the num-
Der Of arrests made by the police yester-
day as on Monday. Something less than a
bakers dozen of negro boys have been ar
rested in connection with the bold larceny,
committed by them on Monday night, in
stealing two rolls Of jeans from the store
of Fife, Anderson & Green, all more or
less interested. Some did the stealing,
others the hiding, and still others the SELL
ing. They are supposed to be the same
gang who stole lot of tobacco from a
store; aud dresses, etc, from millinery
establishment, recently, and they will all
doubtless be brought to grief this morning
before court of justice. The rising gem
.eration of colored Americans in this local
itY, Is certainly promising one.
