and others. Some Of the merchants,
whose places or books had been seized by
Bailey. and who we're recently discharged
nv Commissioners Osborn and Belts,
have made the necessary afidavits 70
have the Collector arrested and tried IN
civil snits in the State courts. Mr.. fialso'

caused the Collectors arrest to-day u ne

rested upon the charge of making fraud
ulent returns for 1868. $780,,
The Herald says as il is not likely that
Bailey will not prove defaulter OF single
dollar, his fight would be unexplainable
except on the theory that It has been
made a good thing for him to go away.
He was the living depository Of evidence
that, il is alleged, would criminate men
who have been guilty Of whisky frauds.
To get him and the evidence he possessed
out of harms way was only a question OF
securing to him as many dollars as would
be equal to a moderate fortune. How
easy Il was TO secure that would be at
once apparent if the names Of those who
wSre suspected of these whisky frauds
were to transplre. ..
II Is rumored that Woodruff, Clafiin *
Co. female brokers on Broad street, were
the victims of fraud, to-day, by the cash
inc of forged check amounting to SIX
thousand dollars.

cur for the reason that some said Andy
johnson would be returned in his place
and if the old fellow should turn up
again in Congress the Radicals thought
something would be to pay.
It is hard, nevertheless, to keep him
out, for he is said to be intent on making
the race for the position next term, and
he can beat Random in the Greenville
district if a fair vote IS taken. He would,
we imagine, naturally chaw Butler into

A morning paper publishes the rates
of taxation on privileges for State and
county purposes, issued by the County
Court Clerk of Davidson county, and says
it will apply equally to Shelby county,
This we conceive to be mistake, and we
would respectfully submit to the public
that each county regulates its own taxes,
and that our County Court has done
nothing Of the sort for 1870. 1t will
therefore be unavailing to cut out that
list, unless a man intends to move to
Davidson county The exact rate for
this county cannot be known until the
County Court mcetsin April The State
tax is twenty per cent on the hundred,
and according TO law the tax for county
purposes cannot exceed that rate. Each
county can assess its own school tax, but
no provision of that kind has yet been
made for this year.

ceU.ry RATIFICATION MEET

The Democrats of Memphis and Shelby
county have determined TO hold grand
ratification meeting, on next Thursday
night, TO indorse the ticket put in the
field by the late nominating convention.
II requires something of this sort TO
arouse cur people from their sleepy state
of indifference to a proper appreciation
of the coming election. We are in
clined to lay supinely on our backs, while
the Radicals are working day and night,
endeavoring to move heaven and earth
10 elect their men. And they will sue
coed in placing into Office some of the
most despicable of their set unless
counter move Is made to prevent 1t.
These men have the financial means and
are employing it lavishly on that class
who are always purchasable before Vo-
ting DAYS. They have had the offices for
The last four years, and can afford the
luxury of spending few thousands on
the chances of a reelection TO positions
that promise large profits in the fntsre
We have to offset this by our ad-
hesion to priaciple and an honest,
iheorrnptible majority, The question
with ne is TO get our partlsans to
come ont on the day of contest,
and to attend to this, the most important
of all their business. II the Injuries Of
home cannot be given up for lev hours
one day, or the business man Will rot
spare a short while from his vocation,
then the good people of this county must
expect to be ridden with whip and spur
.,y such as Curry, whose only hope in
living among us is to hold Office with
fat salaries. These Radical chaps
would be most plant tools in the
hands of the proposed reconstruetionists
who expect again to have the State I'M
der foot. 1t is not the Radicals 10
Congress and away from our homes that
give us the greatest amount of annoy
ance. but the small Office-holders among
us who are ever fitting before our vision
