M'DONALD.
The Supervisor Of Internal Revenue out In
Card.

ST. LOUIS, July 30.-John McDOn-
aid, Supervisor of Internal Revenue
for this district, publishes a statement
to-day, in the Democrat, in which he
prOnOunces certain articles printed in
the Leavenworth Commercial, in
April and July, as false and william
Gus. One of the charges against him,
is, the transfer Of the Kansas district
TO this district, which was for the pur-
pose of suppressing the investigation
of the alleged defalcation of ex-Col-
leetOr John Speer, of Kansas. To this
Mcdonald replies, that the investiga-
ton will proceed, and the fraud be
proven to the bottom.
Mcdonald asserts that the articles re-
ferred to, were inspired by his prede-
cessOr, and that the Commercial, and
other papers that have published the
scurrilous articles, will have an op-
pOrtunity of proving in court the
charges made against him, and con-
cludes by calling George G. Hume,
the responsible editor of the CONNER
ciaL, liar, william, coward and scoun-
drel.

Murder at West Point, Miss.

The Columbus Lnde.r says Jim Shep-
herd was shot and killed at West
Point, on Monday afternoon, under
the following circumstances: 1t APP
pears that Shepherd is son-in-law to
Mr.. George Simmons, of that place,
towards whom he has borne a great
deal of i'll will, but from what causes
we have not gathered. 1t is said he
has been anxious TO get control of his
father-in-law's plantation. OF late
Shepherd was heard to threaten
the life of the old gentleman, and
to burn his house. Mr.. Simmons
(who is very peaceable man) con-
sidered his life in danger, so that on
Monday afternoon he armed himself
with q double-barrel gun, met Shep-
herd not far from town, and shot him
two or three times, killing him almost
instantly. The wife of the deceased
witnessed the dreadful dead. Mr..
Simmons was promptly arrested and
bound over to appear at the next term
Of the Circuit Court.

Clarendon for a like purpose. Bis
marck replied to Clarendon that King
William refused absolutely to dis
arm. Olivier said that he gave the
honor of his name and that of his
colleagues, that no offer was made to
Prussia other than that made by Clar-
endon on the Italian question. Olli-
vier said that it has seemed equitable
and useful to the French Government
to evacuate Rome; equitable because
Italy kept her promises, and useful
because in keeping her promises 1t
unites us more closely with Italy and
Austria.
The Journal Ofcidle publishes
Count Benedetti's explanation OF the
secret treaty affair. It is well known
that Bismarck made France an offer,
before and after the war with Austria.
The substance OF this offer was that
Fracce should take Belgium as COM
pensation for the aggrandizment of
Prussia. The Emperor in all cases de-
clined the propositions. The very
moment the treaty of Prague was con-
cluded, Bismarck again betrayed a
desire to restore equilibrium and
made proposals looking to a combina
ton affecting the integrity of the
States bordering on France. During
one of these conversations, Bismarck
dictated TO Benedetti this secret treaty
project which has Just been made pub
lie and which Bismarck has kept
ever since. This accounts for the
handwriting of Benedetti.
Bendetti gave notice OF the contents
of the proposed treaty to the Empe
ror's Government at the time, but the
proposition was promptly rejected.
Benedetti adds that the King Of
Prussia was not favorable to Bis
marck's plans.
Near Berlin the triangle between
LeWes and Mayence and the river are
we'll filed with soldiers.
PARIS, July H.--The Journal OFT
cidIe denies the story recently origin
ated in Germany that one hundred
French soldiers invaded Luxemburg.
The French Senator, Geiger, the
owner of large factories near Saar
Louis, has been expelled from Prus-
sia.
NJ. Bonneville has left Rome on a
furlOugh.
The balance of the French troops
now in Rome will all be in France by
the 10th of August. The French
Journals say the Prussians have three
hundred thousand men at Leives; I00,-
600 in Black forest, 100,0 900 near May
ence, 100000 in Schleswig and $4,000
at other points.On the frontier.
PARIS, July 30.-The Emperor to-
day assumed the Commandership-i
Chief of the army. He has been hard
at work to-day with General lie
BOuef, arranging the necessary de-
tails. The Prince Imperial visited
the camps to-day and was received
with great enthusiasm. The health
of the army is perfect.
No serious engagement has taken
place yet. Rumors to the contrary
are false.
1t is reported, on the best authority,
that the recent mission to Vienna was
a complete success. Austria will not
take umbrage at the presence of Ital-
ians in Rome, and will remain in ac-
cord with Italy.
PARIS, July 30.-Captain SOultZ, in
ventOr of the Mitrailleur gun, has
gone to the army to inspect the work
ings of the weapon.
The Government has resolved to
form six new battalions of National
Guards of the Seine. The entire
Guard is to receive new guns.

UNITED STATES.

NEW YORK July 30.-The Tribune'S
cable dispatch, dated London, July
18th, says Marquis La Nalletis' as
surance to Earl Granville, in reply to
Bismarck's dispatch, was received in
Parliament with general distrust.
There is no doubt whatever that Mon
days debate in the House Of Com
mons viii reveal England's attitude
of resolute hostility TO designs from
every quarter affecting Belgium. The
Governments policy Of caution can
not be maintained much longer with
out its being regarded as timidity.
Their supporters will compel straight
forward declarations.
The Daily NeioS says there can be no
danger in opposition. A unanimous
Parliament will recognize but one
party--that of the country-without
distrusting the good will either OF
France or Prussia. 1t does not do to
depend Oh either. England must de-
pend on herself.

A TRAGEDY At ATHENS.
Midnight Assasslns StlII at Work in Eas
Tennessee.

From the Knoxville Whig, July 26.l
Our readers will remember the MUIR
der of young Woody at Athens, sew
eral weeks since, while returning
home from church after night. At the
time no reason for the assassination
could be OWNED, and it was supposed
the murderer was mistaken in his
victim. The following extract from a
private letter from a gentleman in
Athens TO a friend in this city, shows
that the surmises were correct:
"ATHENs, July "a, 1S70.-Captain
HARRISON was shot in his yard while
on his way home last night, and Sc
riously wounded, four balls taking ef-
feet; two Of them lodged in his neck.
This goes To confirm the opinion that
the shot that killed Woody was in
tended for HARRISON"
Since the receipt OF the above, we
learn that Captain Harbison's wounds
prove not very dangerous, and that
Yesterday he was able TO be up. We
sincerely trust that the murderoua
scoundrel or scoundrels may be de-
tected and brought TO Justice. Captain
HARRISON is an,ex-COnfederate, and ii
is supposed the animOsity against him
was engendered during the war.

men, with 1170 pieces'of cannon, and
| 133, 900 horses; reserve, 1S8, 600; and
landWehr, l75,O00. The fighting force
forms 10 corps d'armee, containing
ia infantry regiments, 16 battalions
of chasseurs, "a regiments of cavalry,
and IL of artillery. The French army
shows about the same effective in in
fantry. 1t has 112 regiments, with
out counting the Turcos, and 20 bat
talions of foot chasseurs. In cavalry
and artillery the difference is not
great, and rather ia favor of France.
The insufficient organization of the
National Guard Mobile gives the lat
ter country certain inferiority at
the commencement, but that will be
speedily made up.
A native of Rheuish Prussia writes
to M. Granier de Cassagnac that the
German people on the left bank of the
Rhine do not desire annexation TO
France, and that "before conquering
that section the French must destroy
the armies and people of the German
ConfederatiOn-a rather difficult mat
ter" M. de Cassagnac replies that
there is choice of only two alterna-
tives-" either France will 90 to the
Rhine, or Prussia will go TO the Pyre-
nees."
The Paris Pays details the "griev-
ances" which France has to complain
of against Prussia, since 1868 alone:
1SG3-COnvention with Russia during
the Polish war.
1S64-ViOlation of Jutland and cap
ture of Duppel.
Decentralization of Prince Charles in
Roumania.
1S66-Sadowa.

The Romantic IadIsn at His BI.Odv worI

OMAHA, July 9O.-Some Indians,
probably Cheyennes or Arapahoes, at
tempted to steal some horses at Bay
an, about thirty miles from Denver,
and fired at some children who were
playing. They were pursued but not
Overtaken. The Ute Indians have
had conference with Governor Nc
Cook, of Colorado, and claim that
they are innocent of the murder of
miners in the North Park.
Smallpox is reported to have made
its appearance at Ogden, Utah; sew
eral cases there and one death from
this cause.
Plumb, who has just returned from
near the river, brings reports of the
finding of the bodies of three or more
white men, killed by Indians in the
North Park. The bodies were iden-
titled as those of James Brum, Frank
Marion and old man Scott, all trap
pers. 1t is the settled opinion of the
best informed that the Utes are re-
spOnsihle for these murders.

HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS
sereRaee at Chattanooga Response Of Mr.
Davis.

From the Chattanooga Times, July 9th
Hon. Jefferson Davis returned to
the city yesterday, from Lookout
Mountain, and took rooms at the
Burns House. A number of friends
called on him during the day, and
about 10 O'Clock last night he received
a serenade from the Silver COrnet
Band. Quite a crowd gathered in
front of the Burns House, to listen to
the delightful music of the band, and
10 catch a glimpse of the late Presi-
dent of the "sO-called." Mr.. Davis
did not show himself until few gen.
tlemen went to his room and request
ed that he would say 4 few words to
the assembly. Mr.. Davis was just
making preparations to retire for the
night, and somewhat reluctantly COM
piled with the request. Stepping upon
the porch, he advanced to the front,
and was introduced by Colonel Sam.
BOyce as "HOn. Jefferson Davis. "
afr. Davis then spoke, substantially,
as follows:
"My friends, it affects me from the
very bottom of my heart TO receive
this demonstration of your kindly
feelings toward me. / had retired in
A double sense. For the night and
from public life. In view of the past
40 man can blame me for my deter
minatiOn to let those who have the
power dictate how the country shall
be governed. But standing here to-
night upon the sacred soil of Tennes-
see, j will say to you that l wish you
all the prosperity that is possible.
Looking back upon the past and for
ward to the future, | can see nothing
that should taint your honor. It's
not the part of brave men to brood
over the sOTTOWs of the past, but
rather 10 look forward with bright
hopes for the future. You have as
brave and high-minded people as
can be found, and as noble women as
live an earth, [applause and l wish
you all the happiness and prosperity
that is in human life to enjoy. Again,
thank you for this manifestation Of
your kindness.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Davis re-
marks he retired to his room, and
after another melody from the band
the crowd dispersed. 1t is proper to
state that this demonstration had not
the slightest political significance.
The serenade was the natural express
sion of the feelingldof many strong
personal friends of Mr.. Davis; and the
fact that the Silver COrnet Band so
readily agreed TO the proposition, is
very strong evidence ofthe cordial feel
ing that exists between our citizens Of
all sections, for at least half of the Silver
COrnet Band are Northern men, and
were Federal soldiers, while the others
were nearly all in the Confederate
army. Those who had been rebels
made no objection to taking part with
the band at the decoration of the
Federal graves in the National Gene
tery here last May, neither could the
Northern men, and Federal soldiers
now refuse to assist them in paying
proper respect to their late leader.

NORTH CAROLINA.
Xix and his Lambs Enforcing Martial Law
Chief Justice Parsons after Their.

RALEIGH, July 30.-Geo. William
son, Il citizen Of Caswell county, went
to serve writs of hn6edS corpus issued
by the Chief Justice, in behalf of Hon.
John Kerr and other citizens of Cas-
well, who were arrested by Colonel
Kirk of the militia, when Kirk or
dered him to leave or he would have
him fired on. Williamson made his
return in accordance with the facts.
The Chief Justice decided that the
writs were not properly served, first,
because Williamson was not appointed
by the Chief Justice to make such SER
vice; second, being a citizen of Cas-
well, he was an insurgent there, and
could not serve the writS. The Chief
Justice reaffirmed his opinion that the
hGbeGS corpus act was not suspended,
end ordered the Marshal of the Su-
preme Court to go to Casswell county
to serve the writs. There has not been
any disturbance or resistance to law
in any portion of the State.

to-day, an address was adopted to the
King of Prussia and Germany, and
the German Americans, and eSpe-
cirlly those of st. Louis, expressive of
thanks for their aid in this impious
war.
The address rejOices in the preser-
walton of love of the fatherland
by the Germans in land great for its
deeds-fOr the life of Washington and
the death of Lincoln. The address,
which has Occasioned great entbu-
siasm, concludes as follows:
You are still one with the
fatherland. Awaken your enthusiasm
against CensOrism, which has extend
ed to Mexico, which protects the land
of revolution, and which drenches
the glorious Rhine land with blood.
For such love and encourage
ment we extend our hands. Nive
Germany, our common mother! Vive
America, bright daughter of liberty!
