Since the election Of Mrs. Haskell as
State Librarian, the library has become
favorite resort for the citizens of Nash
vile and all strangers visiting the city.
In connection with the fact that Teanes-
see has a lady librarian, the Union and
American informs US that ut must not be
forgotten that other States have set the
example, and IL the selection has been
as fortunate with them as with us, they
certainly have not reason to regret the
precedent established. Mrs. NJ. r.
Smith is State Librarian in Minnesota,
Mrs. Ada North Of Iowa, and Harriet
A. Tenny Of Michigan. the latter Of
whom in her report for the years 1869
and 1870, shows the wisdom Of her ap-

our report Of yesterday, and except the
usual stir on collection day, there is

The Mary Mcdonald mutineers.

-Four of the negro roustabouts who en-
gagged in mutiny and riot on board the
steamer Mary Mcdonald, which arrived
at this port from st. Louis yesterday,
we're fined by the Recorder.
The negro leader Of the rioters, who
was shot in the shoulder and in the neck
by the mate, John Bumgardner, in self
defence, has not as yet been found BY
the police. On the way down this negro
assaulted and robbed German deck
passenger. He stood over him with
knife in one hand, and threatened to kill
the first man who interfered with him.
On arrvingrt the landing he attacked
the mate, who shot him. as above-ststed.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest
of this notorious rullian, but he was con-
cealed so well in the city last night that
the police we're unable to discover his
hiding place He will no doubt be ar
rested to-day, as his wounds are severe,
if not dangerous, which fact will lead to
the discovery of his present location.

DUMB WATERS"

In the Criminal Court building a
dumb waiter" has been fixed up as a
means of communication between the
Office of the County Clerk on the second
floor and the Office of the Tax Collector
on Privileges on the third. An elevated
privilege taxpayer, who had stopped at
a saloon on the ground floor and
smiled, walked into the Privilege Tax
Collectors Office this morning to settle
little delinquency. After paying over
his money and getting the usual
receipt, he discovered the dumb
waiter, and, knowing how it was himself,
he supposed it reached down to the sa-
loon, on the ground floor. Walking
over to the waiter" he hailed the man
below. The Clerk of the County Court
asked what was wanted, and the re-
ply went down, after the taxpayer
counted up the number of clerks in the
office, Send up three cocktails, imme-
diately." The clerk in the Tax Col
lector's office grayely informed the
thirsty but generous citizen that the
was only used for official
business between the County Clerk and
the Privilege Tax Collector, and did not
extend to the saloon, on the ground
floor After suggesting this extension
as an Improvement, the disguised tax
payer left the office.

SECRETARY or STATES 0FfioE.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 30, ISL.
To the Editor Of the Avalanche;
Mr.. Pennebaker has just shown me
your issue of the goth inst, which con-
tsins an article from Mr.. Mathes, show
ing that grievous error had been made
in the Comptrollers report, by which
great injustice is done to Shelby county.
This l admit, but it is proper for me
to state how this discrepancy occurred
in order to exonerate Mr.. Pennebaker.
The great amount Of labor TO be per
formed in the Comptrollers office, and
his old clerk being absent, rendered it
necessary for him TO call in some assist
ance This he did, and Mr.. Blackburn
(the former Comptroller) and myself
prepared the tabular statements of re-
ceipts on privileges which appears in the
Comptroller report, which We made out
from the returns as given us by one Of
Mr.. Penuebaker's clerks, who, not being
familiar with the papers, failed 10 give
us al Of the returns.
l find. however, upon an examination
of the books Of the Comptroller, that
the proper credits have been given of
all returns from Shelby county. Hoping
this explanation will be satisfactory, /
am, very respectfully, salfgl
