A DEFAULTING REVENUE oFFICIAI
Not q Republican, Either.


The United States Attorney for the Eastern
District of Tennessee, Maj. E. G. Camp has been
directed by the Assistant Treasurer at Washing
ton, to bring suit against Col. ]. T. Alternately,
Internal Revenue Collector of this Congress
sional District under Johnson's Administration,
and his securities, for the sum of S33.01S.67,
which he has failed to sproperly account for.
Suit has already been brought against him and
his securities for upwards of 5000 on account
of revenue stamps received and not accounted
for. If this had been a Republican official, vir-
ulsnt Democratic editors, who have the welfare
of the dear people SO at heart, would pour out
their indignation in such volumes as to make
the air have sulphurous odor for miles around.
But Col. Alternately was Democrat, and held
Office under Democratic Administration !;
therefore the public mast exercise christian
charity and forbearance,, remaining perfectly
oblivious to the fact that anything wrong has
been committed. 3-c sss - 3 fssf{5 peisi--fi -

ice cream constituted one of the deli

who was particularly "sweetn on one
of the fair sex. say as he desired to
help her to some of the deliciously
cold article
"Thou adorable, divine effulgence
of beauty, sweet, angelic charmer,
wilt thou condescend 10 descend So
far from thy native dignity as to let
one of thy most humble and devoted
servants have the supreme felicity OF

The lady, after fainting twice, mado
the following sublime answer:
"La! lord. limfoozie! Its too
cold for my stummick; I'm 'iicular
fraid Of its givin me the collie"
Our hero answered with stentorian
voice: q
TOO cold amiable paragon of
perfection, let me fly on the wings of
cupid and warm it for you"
Well, after this last we didn't just
exactly faint. but "dusted ont Of
