On Wednesday morning, on the early
train from Chattanooga were many pa,scn-
gers, among whom were an old man and his

which thoy resolved to obtain. Accordingly,
two of the scoundrcls posted themselves on the
platform as the train was moving eff and sent
ihc other to request the old gentleman to step
outside rs the conductor" wished to see him.
Not suspecting anything wrong he complied
with the request, when he was at once .cizee

The indictments of Jndgo Butler.

The dispatches from Washington have
made frequent mention Ot the charges uud
indictments against Judge Butler, of the
First Congressional District. We have
published them as items of news, just as
we publish all other dispatches. Now that
the indictments have been preferred, aud
Mr.. Butler arrested, we find many differ
ent stories circulated, all purporting togivc
the facts Of the case. IA tho cases ore To be
tried, we advise our readers not to pass
Judgment until the investigation is ended.
Judge Butler has said in Congress that he
had full proof 10 disprovc all the allega-
items, and he is entitled TO at least n sus-
tension of popular iudg. lent until he has
an opportunity for vindicsaion.
We give the following version OF the
cases from the New York Hcrdid, ~ Civ
ing the points upOn which the Government
base their charges. We hope, for the cause
Of Justice and fair dealing, that the inves-
tgation may he full and fair to all con-
cerncG:
INDICTMENT or CONGRESSMAN II. Il. BU1-
Ter FOR FORGERY.
II will bC remembered that during last
summer there was considerable connection
and comment over the alleged charge that
Congressman, II. II. Butler, from Ten
ncsspc, had forged certain checks issued in
| payment of pensions to some of the resi-
! dents of his district, and of which he was
i the CUSTODIAN. since llldt lllnc TIC au-
/ thorities have been busily engaged in pre-
/ pairing the testimony in tho case, and to-
| day the Grand Jury Of the Criminal Court
! of this District brought i'm two indictments,
the first charging Il. II. Butler, of Tonnes
sec, with having forged the name OF
BerthemN Farmer, widow of Union sol
! der helougiu" to the Thirteenth Tennessee
cavalry, upon u check drawn 10y G.. Dewey,
President of the Raleigh National Bank, in
favor of said widow, for the sum of SAB,
! being the arrears of pension to the 4th day
of September, 1869. The check bears date
October -, 1909, and was never seen 10y
Mira Farmer, but was purchased 10y G. III.
Belviu, Pension Agent for North Carolina,
and sent by bin, on October %, 1869, to
Mr.. Butler, in Washington, by his but
lcrs instructions. The check was nego'
tiated by Butler at the bank of Jay Cooke
& Co., October -, 1862 The indictment
contained six counts-thc first charging
Butler with having forged the endorse
ment with intent 10 defraud Mrs. Farmer
the second, with intent to defraud Jay
Cooke g. Co. the third, with intent to de
5 fraud the United States. The other thre,
charge him with having uttered the check
with the forged endorsements thereon
with intent to defraud, as specified i'll tn
first three counts. The second indictmen
contains Il similar number of counts, an
4 IL the same in every particular, except tina

Facts about East Tennessee ! |
Interesting to immigrants.
FOSTERING HOME INTERESTS.

We propose to begin, on or about the lat
of January next, the publication of a series
of articles on the Climate, Soil, Produc-
lions, Minerals, Resources and General
Attractions offered by East Tennessee to
immigrants. These articles will give facts
and figures, compiled with great care, and
the object Of their publication is to furnish
general information to the great and grow
ing class Of men scattered all over the
Northern States who are now, and have
been for some time looking towards East
Tennessee rs place where, if sufficient at
trace were presented, they might be
Undue locate. The great need of such
information has been realized by US after
an extended trip North and East and we
hope by this means to he able to give cir
culation to facts concerning our greatly IA
votcd section which if once understood,
will certainly draw to our doors
part at least of the great tide Of
immigrants Tint yearly add to the popula-
| ton and wealth OF the mighty North
| West. That Il general diffusion of such
| information will result in great good TO us
| there can be no possible doubt, for we have
| in our genial climate and great natural
| advantages the very attractions desired by
so many. The facts, If once understood,
are all we need. While the growing States
! of the West are constant in their efforts to
attract the immigrant, we are content to ait
quietly by and see the tide sweep unceas-
ingly rast, ever enriching and strengthen
ing those who put out their hands toward
it,
Believing that through such means more
than any other our future growth is to be
secured, we have determined to direct our
efforts In the channel named, and promise
to make them IA thorough and eff
Client M possible. 1t will be our
,, aim to publish as much as two columns of
such information in every issue Of our
WEEKLY. a portion of this space, and
some additional to the two columns when
. necessary, will be devoted to giving an
:, swers to all interrogatories propounded
10y correspondents touching the points of
interest to immigrants. In this way we
@ hope to awaken an interest in this subject
among our own people, and be the means
I of attracting attention to what we believe
to be our unsurpassed resources and adj
vantages.
To aid in this good work we hope to
Il have the cooperation of all our citizens
and shall be glad to have from them com
), muncations giving facts and figures peril
c nent to the object in view of any such aid
;, will be fully appreciated and used to the
}, best advantage possible. Any meteorolo
/ gical tables, facts about crops, minerals
= timber, stock, lands &c, will be especial,
Vt useful and acceptable. All such facts will
a be compiled and presented systematically
!. in the most attractive way.
ir The work is one of benefit to the public
n generally, and we hope to be aided il
r every practicable way in its prosecution.

another unfortunate killing, which took place
on Wodncsdsy.nght after dark,in Tuckalocshsc

learn are us follows:
Mr. Levator Wear, late II Lieutenant in the
Sd Tennessee Cavalry, u. S. V, had been to
Maryville on Wednesday and imbbad pretty
freely of whisky before starting home He
reached his house in the Cove about dark, and
nj once began abusing his Wits. or treating her
rather harshcr than proper Mr.. Murphy, who
had been in NeSr's employ all summer, building
Il house, was in the room, and intcrposed in be-
half Of Mrs. Wear, who is represented a. a very
worthy lady. The interference provoked Wear
very much, and, maddened by liquor. he seized
billot of wood near by and struck Murphy .
fearful blow over the head, knocking him sense
lcss to the floor. The fright at what hit had
done sobered Wear and lie at once started for
doctor and did all he could to relieve tho .ut-
icrcr. Medical attendance arrived but it was
| soon evident nothing could be done. Murphy
| survived until morning, when he died.
The nifair has produced q decided sensation
| in the Cove. Murphy was = middle-ascd man,
| highly respected, and he and Wear had always
been good friends. Whisky was unquostionably
