charges, of n raEEFE -Sl2,083 80
The undersigned will say, however, that a
portion of the overcharges in the 9th item is not
chargeable to Jones, Purvis & Co., but to their
predecessors. Whether there are fraud and
corruption in this long continued system of
overcharging makes but little difference to the
Taxpayers of Tennessee as long as single over
charge erists. Oyercharging is the great fact
The minority show this fact, and inasmuch as
there is the most cogent of reasons to suppose
the commmitte have not brought to light ali the
overcharging in the accounts of Jones, Purvis
s. Co., the minority ask that the committee be
continued, its powers enlarged, and leave given
them to introduce appropriate measures of re-
lief and remedy. -

General Assembly in declining to grant this
general authority. We call the attention of the
General Assembly, however, to the fact that we
have examined but small portion of the ac-
counts of Jones, Purvis g. Co., and the minority
deplore the action of the General Assembly IN
refusing to authorize the Committee to investi-
gate all of the said accounts. 1t is true some
members of the Committee thought the Com
mittee had power to investigate all of sald ac-
counts, but the ruling of the Committee was to
the contrary. Hence the introduction of the
Senate Joint Resolution to extend the powers OF
the Committee. ~rrr~
The undersigned would further state. that Col.
John Baxter, the author of the charges investi-
gated, promptly responded to the summons OF
the committee in furnishing proof and examin-
ing witnesses, until called away by imperative
business demands at Knoxville. And in regard
to the premature publication of q portion of the
testimony in the Knoxville CHRONICLE, the un-
dersigned are of opinion that no censure IS
justly attachable to Col. Baxter or the CHRONI-
'CLE therefor; the sessions of the committee be-
ing open, and strangers present parto the time,

A new Confidence Dodge.

Some sharp rascal in this city has been
playing q new game within the last few
weeks. The confidence chap halls a
hand-cart conductor and orders him to
load up some box, barrel or trunk, lying
in front of some business house, and take
it down some street. The negro olJeys,
and when caught in the act informs on
the confidence man, who of course can
not be found. 1t is almost impossible to
detect the real thief in these cases,
because he keeps out of the way until
the goods are out of danger of recovery.
Our police ought to be able to trap him
and bring the clever rogue to the bar Of
Justice.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
story OF the Desofo block : In
nfauf Deatn.t

|
AT eight o'clock this morning Q
1 painter, named John Foster, fell from
a scaffold suspended near the third
story of the DeSoto block, on Madison
street, and was crushed to death on the
pavement below. The ladder scaffold
was suspended from the top Of the build
ing, with guy ropes running from the
ladder to the windows of the third story.
The unfortunate man stepped out from
the window on the ladder, when one OF
the guys broke and the ladder swung
out from the building, precipitating him
to the ground, distance of sixty feet.
His body was terribly crushed, his neck
was broken, and after few gasps and a
slight quivering, he died almost in
|stantly. Justice Moore held an inquest
on the body ere it was removed from
where it fell, and verdict of accidental
death was rendered by the jury. The
deceased was a journeyman painter in
the employment of Mr.. Jas. M. Sackett.
He was native of New York City,
where he has brother residing. The
deceased has been in Memphis for some
time, and was during life much respected
by his acquaintance.
A POPULAR ERROR.
In this connection it may be well to
remark that it is a popular error to sup
pose that it is wrong or illegal to remove
or disturb the remains Of a human being
who has met with a violent death until
coroner's jury has investigated the
matter. There is rule that the remains
of persons who have been murdered
shall not be so removed, and the reason
of the rule is, that by leaving the body
undsturbed some clue may be discov-
cred of the murderer-such as the mark
of footsteps near the body, or something
on the person that may connect another
with the crime. But this does not apply to-
accidents like the above, when the cause
of death is well known to many, and
known to be accidental. The body may
be removed at once. There is no sense
in leaving mangled body on the pave
ment for two hours, presenting as it does
a terrible and revolving sight. Human
ity would dictate this we're it not for the
popular error above mentioned. The
sight of human being lying on pave
ment for two hours. surrounded with
blood and awaiting the action of jury
of inquest, suggests to the mind no pleas
ant reflection. There is no rule of law
preventing the removal, and every feel
ing of humanity and propriety suggests
at once the opposite action on the part
of friends or acquaintance of the I'M
fortunate deceased.
