THE EIURDERER DAVIS.

His Arrest and Judgement in JAIL
Some time since we published the par
ticulars of the killing of Policeman Merri-
man, at Chattanooga, by Henry Davis, q
desperate stepped and blackened with
crime. II is said that he has murdered in
cold blood no less than three human be-
ings Soon after the last murder he took
to the mountains to hide himself from the
eyes of men, and the caves, and hills and
hollows, in the vicinity of the deed, were
searched In vain. By intercepted letters
it was ascertained that he was in Hunts
vile, Ala, where he was arrested on Fri
day last. The detectives, with the proper
papers, started at once to secure the MUIR
derer. We will let the Chattanooga Times
tell the rest: Daviss retreat was dis
covered, and the house surrounded.
Davis soon made his appearance,
and seeing officer Isom, started, gazed
around with a startled air, and was about
to make off, when he was told that if he
stirred an inch Isom would shoot him.
Nothing daunted, however, he started to
run, and the officer, good as his word,
fired. The shot taking effect, he fell
headiong upon the ground. A rush to
secure him with handouts was then made,
but through some device he managed to
break away from his captors. Making a
dash, he got free once more, and stagger-
ing almost falling, he was called upon to
halt, but to no avail, aud a second shot
was fred, it also taking effect in the side, but
he still kept his feet, and then commenced
realizing his situation, that if caught
death was certain, he with desperate Of
fort, managed to run nearly one mile. On
the route he had chosen was a creek
through which he must pass This trial,
however, proved too much for him. Stag
gering through, he fell bleeding, almost
hfeless mass on the opposite side. His
capture was now easily accomplished, and
the murderer had 10 succumb.
The detectives, Tatum and Crenshaw,
then returned with their prisoner back to
Chattanooga, where he is likely to remain
until the sheriff shall summon him to the
gallows; thence, in all his unworthiness,
to meet Him who watches with an all
seeing eye our every action.
Though the mills Of God grind slowly,
Yet they grind exceedingly small;
Though with patience He stands waiting,
With eNactness grinds He al"

IMPORTANT TO TAx-PAYERs.
Reduc,iou Of InternaI Taxes.

ReductiOH on 1nteF
By an act to reduce internal taxes, and
for other purposes approved the l4th OF
Julv a considerable reduction will take
nlece on the first of the ensuing October.
br. Cliff. Assessor of Revenue for this dis
trict has furnished us copy of the law.
As 1t is a matter of deep general interest
to our business men and people, and as the
notion has obtained to some extent that it
takes effect from the LIST of August instead
of the LIST of October, we will mention some
OF its prominent features. The first Sec
ton of the act provides that from the LIST of
October. the taxes imposed by the revenue
laws be repealed on articles embraced in
schedule IA, such as carriages, gold and
silver watches, plate, billiard tables, etc.
1t also repeats the special tax on boats,
barges and flats, and on legacies and sue
cessions, and on passports and gross re-
ceipts. The second section OF. the law does
not go into effect till the LIST of May, 1870.
The third section provides that on and
after the FIRST day of October, 1870, the
several taxes on sales imposed by the inter
nal revenue law now in force, saving and
excepting such taxes on sales as are by
existing lSw paid by stamps, and the taxes
on sales If leaf tobacco, manufactured to.
bacco, sauif, cigars, foreign and domestic
distilled SPIRITS and Wines, imposed by said
act approved July 20, 1868, and acts
amendatory thereof, be repealed.
The fourth section is avery important
one, as affecting the daily transactions Of
our business friends, and is the section
which many thought went into operation
yesterday. 1t provides that on and aftel
the first day of October, 1870, the STAMP
tax imposed on promissory notes for less
sum than one hundred dollars, and on re-
ceipt for the payment of any sum of money
or for the payment of any debt, and the
stamp tax imposed in schedule sc" OIL
canned and preserved fish be and the same is
repealed. And no stamp shall be required
upon the transfer or assignment of mort
gage, where it or the instrument it secures
has been once duly stamped. Thus it vii
be seen that from the first of October next
the stamp upon notes for sums Of less thar
500 will no longer be required; nor will
they be necessary on receipts for any sun
of money, or for the payment of any debt
By the operation of the law going int
effect at that time, the taxes on gross re
ceipts, on carriages, watches, etc, on boat
and barges, and legacies and SUGGESTIONS
will be done away. On the first of May
1871, other provisions of the law will taxi
effect, and produce a still further reduction
of taxes for Internal Revenue purposes.

Good News.

A friend who has Just returned from a
trip, reports the corn, wheat, tobacco,
cats and fruit crops as being very fine in
Sumner, Macon, Smith, Cannon and
Rutherford counties-never better. He
also adds that the people all along the line
Of his travels, are loud in praise of the
course pursued by the UNION AND AMERI
CAN-the peoples paper. They assert that
if we whip out Radicalism they will all
have to come up and stand on the plat
form of principle, and battle side by side
with the National Democracy-the on "
party that can compete with and defeat the
Radicals. The people are unwilling to | ct
things go. as many seem to be willing to
have them, letting the longest pole knock
down the persimmons, even should that
be Radical pole. The people are begin
ming to look with distrust upon those who
are playing into the Radicals hand rather
than go along with those alone able to
whip the Radicals.
The foregoing corresponds with the in
formation we get daily from all parts of
the State, and we hope the people will
continue to speak out and demand to be
heard through the peoples PAPER. Send
