GEN GIDEON ]. PILLOW.

In LOOKING over tht hoihes Va 1850
guished citizens Of West Tennessee, who
| by their antecedents and the present
estimation in which they are held, may
we'll be supposed to command the conf'
dence of their fellow-eitizens, in connec-
ton with high Judicial station, none can
take more prominent rank than Gen.
Gideon J. Pillow. In devotion to his
country in peace or in war, in the digni-
fed bearing of a gentleman, in the
amenities and observances Of social life,
in high legal and scholastic attachments,
in the respect his refined and equable
department never fail to inspire, who
can take rank over him2 We doubt if
any man in the entire South made greater
pecuniary and personal sacrifices than
he during the war; and it might
have been his heraldic motto, which
was blazoned on the Bayard 5
shield-sans peur ct sans reproche. In
the war with Mexico his patriotism was
marked and his bravery distinguished.
Leaving the delights of home, the bland
ishments Of polished social circle, the
inducements Of eminent professional
position and lucrative practice, he sought
'the tented field" and was among the
valiant leaders Of the successful cam
paign which brilliantly terminated in the
capture Of the enemys capital. Return
ing to private life, he resumed his pro
fessional duties and was among the most
eminent lawyers, as he was one of the
most successful planters, of the South.
Again the summons to arms found
him in the field-not, indeed, against
a foreign foe, but one no less truculest
and implacable. He gave to the cause
his best exertions-he coveted posts of
danger and barred his breast among his
country's defenders, and the results of
toll and industry promising life of ele-
CANT leisure that had not been given to
his country, seemed peculiarly the sport
Of the Infatuated foe who reyeled in the
destruction Of monuments of rare taste
and culture. None suffered more from
the war than General Pillow, and there
were none whose great services were SO
i'll repaid, even by acknowledgment. He
now depends in measure upon the pro-
ceeds of his profession, diligently pur-
sued, for the maintenance of an interest
ing family and while his step has lost
none of its elasticity, nor his mind aught
of its comprehensiveness, acumen and
vigor, there seems to be a fitness In be-
slowing upon him a seat on the Supreme
Bench, that the evening Of his life may be
tranquil, and crowned with the dignity of
a station he is in every respect so emf
nently qualified to fill. Gen. Pillow de-
serves the high rank he obtains among
his fellow-citizens, for there is none more
worthy, and without the slightest dis
paragement of others, his qualifications
are admirably adapted to the station Of
Judge of the Supreme Court of Tennes-
see. We are gratifed to know that his
name will be presented from this divi-
sion of the State, in connection with
place on the Supreme Bench, and, as it
ought to be, with the most hattering
promise of nomination by the Conyen-
yention when it shall assemble

MALONE, June Last night between
one and two o'clock one Of the Deputy
Marshals made raid on an old Catho-
lie Church here, which has not been
used for some time, and found one hun
dred Fenians, in uniform, sleeping The
Marshal stripped them of their uniforms,

About three hundred Fenians have left
for their homes-all from Rochester, Al
bany and Brooklyn. About one hundred
from Chicago and the West have, as yet,
been unable to make arrangements for
TRANSPORTATION to their homes. John
Finnerly, Fenian Center, is endeavoring
to procure passage for them. Governor
Hoffman has been applied to to give the
Western men passage to Buffalo, from
where they can work their passage home
on lake vessels.

determination OF the Jews by the
christians = Thousands OF Jews
Massaereed ina Cold Blood.


CoNsTANrISoPLE, June IA fearful
war of religious intolerance has broken
out in the province Of Roumelia, a me-
tropolitan province of the Turkish En-
pire, in the Sonth of Europe. For some
time the native Christians have mani
tested spirit of fearful vindictiveness
against the Jewish population, who have
endeavored in vain to obtain from the
Government some protection.
A secret movement has been in organ
ization for some time for the extermina.
ton of inohfensive Jews, and the deep
and deadly hatred of the bigoted popu-
lace has only been slumberiHg, awaiting
vent for its fury. On Sunday last by
preconcerted signal, the Christian popu-
lace rose, and the fearful work of butch
cry was inaugurated At an early hour
the houses of all the Jews were invaded,
and the occupants who were unable to
escape were massacreed in cold blood.
The fleeing Israelites were pursued
through the town by an armed mob and
murdered wherever caught Men, women
and children were ruthlessly slain. The
fury of the populace was infamed with
religious bigotry, and only exhausted
itself for want of victims.
In all the principal towns the fearful
work of butchery prevailed. Thousands
of men, women and children of the re-
pugnant class were butchered. The
work Of slaughter still goes on in the in
terror, and nothing has been heard yet
of any movement by the authorities to
suppress it. The reigning prince is abb
sent from the province, and advantage
was taken Of this to complete the total
determination of all Jews from the pro-
vince.
.PrinceCharles is hurryin G home, and ev-
erywhere measures will at once be taken
by the Sultan to suppress this religious
emute. Meanwhile the fury Of the mob
continues undated, finding fresh vic
Tins to glut its insatiate frenzy.

Hon. ID. w. voorhees, ON the Income
Tax.


From the Terre Haute Journal
We have been permitted to take for
publication the following extract from a
letter written BY Hon. d. w. Voorhees,
to gentleman Of this city on the sub
ject of the income tax:
see that / am censured for my POI
sition on the income tax. Let us con-
slider William B. Aston has an annual
income of FIVE millions. The tax on that
amount is two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars year Shall vote TO re-
lieve him from the payment of that
amount, and let it be fastened on those
who have no incomes over and above
their living7 That is the real question
involved in the unconstitutional repeal
of the income tax law. The amount OBJ
tanned from this source is about thirty
Eve millions per annum. If it is taken
off the incomes Of the wealthy it must be
made up from taxation in other quarters
Take another illustration. Mr.. A. i.
Stewart, the great merchant prince Of
New York, has an income Of $40 ,OO0, 900
year. He pays tax thereon now Of
$500, 000 He wants to get clear OF II.

paid By somebody else. Who is 50 able

and IL this law is repealed the rich vii
escape, and men Of moderate means will
find themselves taxed 10 make up the
deficiencies The tax on everything the
laborer consumes by his daily wants will
be increased just that much. This is a
plain movement on the part OF selfish
capitalists TO escape its just dues 10 the
Government There is a heavy lobby
here to accomplish that result
OF course do not approve Of the law

and not a repeal. All the rich corpora
