CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-The grand jury of
| the Circuit Court, which has been sitting
for week past, closed their labors to-day.
| Before being discharged they made ga report
upon the issue between Gov. Palmer and
! Mayor Mason in relation to the military oc-
cupation Of the city during and following
the fire, and the efforts of Gov. Palmer to
have Mayor Mason, Gen. Sheridan, Col.
Frank 7. Sherman and others indicted for
the killing of Col. Grosvenor. The grand
Jury in their report desire to say that they
fully endorse and commend the action of
Mayor Mason in calling to his aid the SER
vices of Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan; that the honor,
the wise discretion of the Mayor in thrusting
aside the petty vanity of place and position
and summOning to his side the wisest counsels
in our midst, and availing himself of their
powerful aid in the appalling emergencies
Of the late confagration. In their opinion.
the thanks of the community are due to the
Northumberland of the army for the
timely and efficient aid he afforded in CO.
operation with the regular police force of
our city, recognizing in his efforts no spirit
of usurpation of law or authority, but, on
the contrary, an unselfish desire TO do du-
ty that the emergencies of the hour de-
manded, the assumption Of which was
great relief to the anxiety Of the people.
.1a Burnt Bodies.
The dead body found under the Tribune
building on Saturday, and at first supposed

billiard player, has been recognized as that
of John E. Donovan, who occupied rooms

was found to-day in the debris under the
Tribune building. 1t has not yet been

The Story of a Suicide.
1t has been ascertained that G. G. Nor
ton, who committed suicide at the Clifton

Missouri Railroad, and during the war
served ON the staff of Gen. Force. He came
to Chicago to seek situation on one of

further entertainment. He borrowed sum
of money of a friend, purchased poison,
went to the Clifton House, and did the

An Old Nashville Relic.

The editor of the Jackson Wing and
Tribune has lately been shown a license
issued in Nashville in 1896, to NJ. VIM.
Birdsong, authorizing him to keep "tav-
ern" in that village. 1t is a quaint
old document, printed in the formu-
la of seventy-fiye years ago. Middle and
East Tennessee were then part of North
Carolina, and tbs western district the
favorite hunting grounds ofthe Indians. The
old document bears the signature of An
drew Ewing, a pioneer of Middle Tennes-
see, who died many years ago in Franklin,
1t is a relic of the olIen time, times of sim.
plicity, when there were taverns instead Of
hotels, a-d H hen taverns and inn keepers
were a power in the land, and their names
as familiar as household words.

THE COTTON TAX.
The following message was received from
the Governor:
Gentlemen of the General Assembly: The
agriculturalists of our own and other South
ern States have paid into the Treasury of
the United States immense sums of money,
under the act of Congress taxing the pro-
duction of cotton, while the producers of
cereals and other crops in the Northwest
were exempt from tax upon their labor.
This discrimination against the South, it
is now conceded, was instigated by the as
perities engendered by the late war. Our
people were well nigh ruined by this bur
den, and, had the legislation not been re-
vOked, the production of cotton would have
been measuTably abandoned in America.
Public sentiment everywhere now condemns
the legislation, not only as unwise and unjust,
but as in conflict with the organic law, and
its repeal shows that the Congress of the
United States was led to this conclusion.
1t remains now for the government to re-
store to the Southern people the tax thus
so unjustly collected from them. And it is
believed that Congress will direct that res
titutiOn be made when the facts are proper
represented.
therefore with pleasure transmit to you
the proceedings and memorial of the Cham
Der of Commerce Of Memphis and New
Orleans, and recommend you to memorial
ize the Congress Of the United States upon
the subject.
respectfully recommend also that you
request our representatives and instruct our
Senators in Congress to aid in securing the
relief sought. Respectfully,
JSo. c. Brown
Governor.
The report of the Memphis Chamber of
Commerce has already appeared in the
UNION AND AMERICAN, and the report of
the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce
contains similar arguments and recommen-
dstions.
The message and accompanying reports
were referred to the Committee on Federal
Relations.
A PROTEST.
Mr.. Lumpkin desired to have tha 4 on
ing protest spread upon the journals.
Whereas, during the discussion, ta
House on the tax bill, the previous qIlest1
was moved, which cut Off M debate, and
rendered it impossible to give any expression
of opinion whatever against the bill adopt
ing forty cents on one hundred dollars
worth of property; and whereas, being
clearly of opinion, from official figures, that
thirty cents would have been ample to have
met and liquidated every demand and obi
| CATION demanded by those who favored a
| tax of fifty cents, l herewith file my pro-
! test against the action of the House adopt
| ing forty cents, and also the means re-
sorted to (mOving the previous question:
to accomplish that object. The estimate
filed herewith, based upon official reports,
will convince any one that thirty cents on
/ the one hundred dollars would have been
sufficient for all purposes, with margin o.
over five hundred thousand dollars to spare.
1t was agreed by all parties that provision
should be made for the payment and liqui-
dalton in full of all indebtedness and obi
cations Of the State as given below:
