Murder In Haywood County.

The Brownsville States of the 9th gives
the following account of the cruel and IN
provoked murder of a worthy citizen of
Haywood county: GAS Elias King, a well
TODD farmer in this county, living about II
miles from this city on the Henderson Fer
ry Road, was lying down upon his lounge
reading, and his wife sitting by his side, at
six o'clock last Thursday evening, he was
murdered in the most cold bloOded, diabol-
cal manner, the assassin firing through the
window. He did not dream of danger,
neither did his wife. He was reading to
her from some favorite book, and the can
die stand was between them. The assassin
finding the window too high from the
ground, built a small platform from the
ground, and taking deliberate aim at his
heart, with an Enfield rife, fired, SCATTERING
Mr.. Kings left arm and shooting him
through the heart. He never rose from his
recumbent position and died without speak
ing word. His death was almost instant
aneouS.
Circumstances point unerringly, to a ne
gro named Edmond, who was labOrer on
the place, as the guilty party. The stable
door, was little while after the murder,
broken open, and Mr.. Kings fine gray stall
lion was taken from the stable, and neither
the horse or the negro has been seen since.
Edmond, the murderer anegro about TWEEN
ty-seven years of age and weighs about 100
pounds. His feet are noticeable, being a
little deformed.

Messrs. Kay & Brothers, Law Publishers,
Booksellers and Importers, Phil
adelphia, have recently published
a collection of Leading Cases on
the Law of Elections in the United States,
with notes and references to the latest au-
thorities by Frederick c. Brightly, author of
the Federal Digest, the United States Di-
gest, etc.
The established reputation of Mr.. Bright
" as law author and compiler, is a suffi-
cient guaranty of the excellence of this
work, without an examination of the con-
tents. An examination of the book viii
but give the profession a higher opinion Of
Mr.. Brightly, with whom they have long
been familiar. This collection of cases is
deserving of peculiar attention at this time,
for, as the author says, no questions have
greater interest for people possessed Of
the right Of self-gOvernment than those
arising out of the exercise of the elective
franchise. Whilst other constitutional
questions affect classes of the community,
the ones treated of in this work have refer
ence to the vital principles of our govern
ment and come home to every citizen of the
republic. As authority, whether or not We
endorse the reasoning and conclusions, the
cases reported are leading. In the cases in
this volume we find the following subjects
discussed and determined: The COnstitu-
tional Rights of Electors, Disfranchisement,
the Registry Laws, Test Oaths, the
Payment of Taxes, States Rights to Regu-
late the Elective Franchise, What Questions
may be Submitted 20 Popular Vote, and
indeed all the important questions
in any way touching or relating to the law
and general principles regulating elections.
The appendix contains the argument Of eX-
Senator Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, deliy
cred in the United States Senate, in favor
of Cumulative Voting, a subject which is
now attracting the attention of the Ameri-
can public. The book is one worthy of
the especial attention and study of every
legislator and lawyer.

Co., on the Square.

of the supreme Court,

The Supreme Court adjourned at Knox
vile on yesterday after another labOrious
term, having gone through the entire dock
ct. They will have three weeks now to
visit their families. They will then con-
vene their court at Nashville, which will
occupy the entire winter and run into
spring. These gentlemen have met their
heavy responsibility manfully, and have
performed an unprecedented amount of
labor. 1t was practice of the Chief JUS
tice and others, all last winter, to commence
work at five in the morning and work until
ten or eleven at night. By great uniformi-
ty and regularity of habit they have held
up. They have now been on the bench
more than a year, and during that time
have been permitted to spend but a few
weeks at home. Not one has lost a week
from his labors by sickness or otherwise
The crowded condition of the dockets re-
quired them, in justice to the public, to dis
patch business with unusual rapidity, and
yet their opinions have been highly conn
mended by the bar for their learnin@ salg
ability. r: I'll &
These facts are worthy of speciaIs NlaSl7
ton. Such public servants, in these dis
tempered times, should be held up as ex-
amples to others, and are justly entitled to
public commentator, always gratifying to
a faithful man,

The Aniarian Society.

The Tennessee Apiarian Society held its
regular monthly meeting at the Farmers
Club rooms yesterday.
The committee appointed to report upon
the best plan for the prevention of the raw
ages of the bee moth made a report, which,
after some modification, was adopted as the
sense of the society. The report is as fol-
lows:
We have often regarded the fear enter
tanned of the moth miller misdirected and
more imaginary than real. As long as a
stock of bees are in a well made hive that
is free from cracks and crevices and that
gives the bees free access to all parts of it,
we think that any stock, strong IN bees, will
be almost if not entirely exempt from the
ravages of the moth.
We do not mean by this that all
the virtue lies in any patented or
unpatented sO-called "AIoth-prOOf hive, 4" far
from it, for any hive to be mOth-prOOf must
necessarily exclude the bees also; but for
any one to expect to keep bees in the COM
mon hive without the use of the movable
frame, and keep them free from the plague
of the moth, is utter folly, for the reason
that, without the use of some good movable
frame system, it is impossible to control bees
so as to have them strong at all tunes.
Therefore your committee would say that,
to prevent or remedy the ravages of the bee
moth, the iudicious use of the movable
comb-hive is indispensable; for we find that,
where bees have all the advantages above
mentioned, they are themselves fble to repel
the moth. Especially is this the case with
Italian bees.
A few simple traps like grOOved blocks or
pieces of split elder,white dishes containing
vinegar and mOlasses, milk or common sOr-
gum syrup will answer a good purpose to
decoy the miller if attended to and not al
lowed to remain until IL becomes moth
nursery instead of moth trap.
After comparing notes by which it was
ascertained that the bees of the members
were generally in fair condition for winter
ing, the meeting adjourned.

A Chattanooga correspondent Of the Mem
phis Ledger writes as follows about the
Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad mud
die:
"Ihe eause OF the trouble with the Ala
bama and Chattanooga road is thus stated:
Iom Scott is seeking Southern connections
for the Pennsylvania Central. so that when
the Southern Pacific road is constructed he
may WELD its destinies. He has already
made his connections through Virginia to
chattanooga, and wished to gobble up tile
Alabama road, which is the shortest route
to New Orleans. But q. G. Stanton, who
built the road, was unwilling to give up even
Tor Tom Scott, who is said to have influence
ed the action Of Gov. Lindsay. Finding that
Stanton was not thus easily to be overcome,
Scott sought to appease Stanton by offering
him $500, 900 to get out of his way and quit.
! Stanton replied that he was in honor bound
TO see the men who had worked to build the
road paid, and that no man or set of men
should steal the Alabama road until the debt
contracted in its construction was honorably
adjusted. Scott then offered to assume this
debt and to pay Stanton 100000 for his
individual part. But when Stanton inquired,
if by assuming he meant pGy, Stanton's
agent said it did not, and Stanton refused
to get out of the way Of the Alabama ring.
Thus this same Stanton, if he had been will
ing to permit honest creditors of the road to
be swindled by Tom Scott and the Alabama
ring, could have resigned tAe Presidency
and put 100000 in his pocket. But he
not only refused, but has now made arrange
ments with capitalists of abundant means,
who will assume their rightful control OF
the road and pay off all its debts. Hence,
Scott appears to have given up his machin-
ations; and it is now rmored here in rail-
road circles that he has offered to lease the
Memphis and Charleston road for fifty years,
and agreed to pay six per cent. upon its
capital stock. If Scott should be success
full in getting the Charleston road, it insures
the Southern Pacific road passing through
Memphis"

We observe at a late meeting of the
Tennessee Agricultural and Mechanical
Association the Directory offers the same
premiums for 1872. that were offered at
their fall fair of 1871, for farms and farm
products, and under the same rules and reg
ulatiOns, and refer all persons disposed to
compete to their programme of 1871. This
shows a praiseworthy purpose and we sug-
gest that host of competitors enter the
contest. None who strive for the prize in
good earnest can fail to be benefited by the
effort, whether they win the prize or not.

COmmendabIe ENTERPRISE.

The great demand at present exhibited
by the various immigration societies
throughout the Northern States for reliable
and satisfactory information concerning the
commercial and manufacturing importance
of Tennessee, is to be met with a work
soon to be published by Mr.. Charles E.
Robert, of this city, author Of "Nash-
vile and Her Trade for 1870" The
present work, although it has required on the
part of the writer, the labor and unremitting
attention of several months, will, we are
assured, far surpass any work of its nature
ever published in this section. Containing
interesting histories and detailed accounts
of every branch of mercantile and manu-
featuring pursuits in Nashville, illustrated
accounts of the various public buildings in
and around the city, and in addition, full
descriptions of all the leading cities in Mid
die Tennessee, the work will be at once
a complete and desirable exhibit. The en-
cOuraging success that our young friend
met in his former publication has stimulated
him TO renewed energy and enterprise, and
he claims for the present volume an effort
far surprising the former. The work is to
have an edition of several thousand copies,
will be handsomely finished and bound land
should meet the encouragement and pat
ronage of all business men who actually
desire the progress of our city.

1t will be gratifying to the friends of Rev.
W. H. Whitsett to learn of his safe return
from Europe, after an absence of two or
three years. He was student in the Uni
versity of Virginia, Chaplain in the Con
federate army, a student in the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary at Leipzig,
Saxony, where he attended a course of
Theological lectures under the celebrated
TischendOrff. He then went to Berlin, and
completed his studies in the University of
that now renowned city. He was raised
in this vicinity, and is a grandson Of the
pious old "Father Whitsett," of Mill Greek,
a Baptist minister of wonderful power and
influence in Middle Tennessee, in the last
generation. Rev. Mr.. W. is now in Nash
vile to hear Mr.. Earle, whose ministrations
begin to-day in the First Baptist Church.
We predict for him life Of usefulness.

THE COMING TRorrER.
Something Cor Mr.. homer.


We find the following in tie Ci1tcititaH
Commercial of recent date, which will be
read by all who take an interest in fast
horses:
A select squad ofhorsehiel and number
of gentlemen from the city VINO know how
to appreciate any thing and every thing in
the sporting line, from game chicken to
clean-limed trotter, enjoyed a rare treat at
the Old Buckeye track yesterday morning.
These sage cORnOiSSelpS saw new candl-
date for favor ushered into the trotting
world, and saw mile slip under the feet
of an equine tyr0 to the exhilirating tune
of 2:23. This is how it came about. A
few weeks ago, Mr.. John Connolly, OF New
York; CAME out to Springfield, Ohio, and
purchased, for 81 800, ahorSe OfsOme prom
Use known as "Black Hawh'' At the time
he learned that Mr.. John Clarke, wealthy
farmer residing near Springfield, was the
owner OF promising trotting stallion which
had shown some clever time on the local
turf-2:29a being his best record. MIR.
| Connolly, after seeing the horse, told the
owner If he could induce him (the hOrse) to
"show" 2:27, he would give him So, 900 for
him. Mr. Clark at once put the horse IN

! speed come off at the Buck eye track, which
is supposed to be little ''faster'' than the
majority throughout the country. The
trial took place yesterday morning. The
| horse went to harness, and, TO the utter as
| constituent of all present, scored his mile in
t1oO minutes and tlgenty-three seconds, with
out skip or break. All agree that prettier,
smarter trotter wasnever seen on the track
and the 'rubbers" swear that if his driver
had willed it, he could have gone over the
ground in 300. The name of this new and
formidable rival of Dexter is Mohawk, jun.
He was sired by Long Island Black Hawk;
his dam, Bellfounder, was sired by Joe
Gales, thoroughbred owned by Gov.
Vance, of Ohio. He was five years old last
spring. Mr.. Clark was so delighted with
the performance of his horse that it is quite
doubtful whether he will accept the munif-
cent offer of Mr.. Connolly, no absolute sale
having been agreed upon.

Plea for CuItiyating Grapes.

During the present season, Gennett &
Co., who are the agents for the proprietor
of an Ohio vineyard, have sold upwards of
$4,000 of grapes. Our people are paying
more attention now to grape culture than
formerly, but there is nothing like the quaint
ity raised to supply the demand. The fact
of one firm alone drawing so largely upon
another State to meet the wants of custom
ers shows the importance of more energy
on the part Of our grape growers. Our
climate and lands are admirably adapted to
the culture of grapes, and the business is a
paying one.
