Fine Sheen In Tennessee.

One of the most noted flocks of fine
wooded sheep in this country, is that which
was founded by Mr.. Mark r. COckrill,
many years since, near Nashville, Tennes-
see. Mr.. G.. when quite young-he is now
more than fOurScOure yearS-went to New
England, and returned with seven sheep,
driving them on foot the entire distance.
They were selected from the different fami-
lies of the MerinO. being chiefly Saxon and
Silesian. They found congenial home,
increased rapidly in numbers and improv-
ed in size of carcass, as well as quantity
and quality of fleece. In 1851, Mr.. c. mani
tested the proper enterprise in placing
samples of the wool on exhibition in the
American Department of the London Ex
hibitiOn of 1851; from the reporton which,
now before US, We take the following:
"Mr. Cockrill The wool transmitted by
this exhibitor, from Nashville, is well got
up, and exhibits, like the preceding spe-
cimens, German wool quality of fiber
indicative of care and skill IN the develop
ment and improvement of the fleece, which
calls for the award of the Prize Medal"
During the late war, the number of the
flock was so much reduced that but some
five hundred now remain. They are now
owned by his son, B. +. COckrill. We
saw the clip of the present season from
this flock. 1t was sh0rn very early. The
average weight of fleece is something over
four pounds, the grade very uniform and
chiefly from XIX to picklock, and the mar
ket value as high as any clothing wool
grown in this country. The sheep are
thorough bred, if judiciOus original selec-
ton and careful breeding for some fifty
years can render them so. To Colorado,
Texas, California, Tennessee, or any other
mild climate, they are amirably adapted

THE TAMMANY FRAUDS.
Excuses md Apologies for the Frauds
Answered.


The Democratic press of the country,
feeling the terrible effect of the exposures
of their frauds in New York, excuse them
by saying the accounts paid, if eXorbitant,
were first approved by "a Republican board,
&c. They say too, that Hall and COnnol-
ly had to pay them because so approved.
The Tribune, in reply to such excuses,
says:
Now mark how plain a statement shall
scatter these apologies to the winds:
l. The old Board of Supervisors ceased
to be half Republican on the 1st of Janu-
airy, 1S67-before any of these bills were
audited-the people having elected Smith
Ely, jr. (anti-Tammany Democrat over
Isaac J. Oliver (Republican) expressly to
put an end to the See-saw arrangement.
1t was ever afterwards professionally
Democratic. -
2 Its ruler and master spirit was Will
lam NJ. Tweed, for years chief manager of
the Democracy of our City and State.
8. The man who drew most of the money
in question from the Treasury was James
H. Ingersoll, formerly Tweed's partner in
char-making, still his trusty henchman,
ALWAYS an active Democrat, and last Fall
appointed a Commissioner Of the New
Courthouse by Mayor Hall. .. "A.

though either might have stopped them
by refusing to approve them and sending
the holder to the courts for his remedy.
An uncontested decision of Judge Mullin
establishes the right thus to stop the pay
ment of a fraudulent bill.
If We can ever get sight of the Con-
troller's exhibit, we shall see whether the
bills paid since that old Boards decease
have been a shade less ''eXorbitant" than
those fathered upon that Board. So far as
we are enabled to see, they have not been.
But what nonsense is all this talk
about the old Board or any Board of Su-
pervisors! Did any Board compel the
Controller to disobey the law which COM
mands him to publish detailed exhibit of
his receipts and payments at least annual
ly? Suppose he had simply obeyed this
law early in 1870, who does not know that
the people would have soon found or made
a way of stopping the payment of such
bills as those of Garvey, Ingersoll & Co.?

We find the following in the New York
Tribune, speaking of the death of Hon.
John Slideli: a
The Slidells were an old New York FAM
lily. In 1894, John ISlidell, grandfather Of
the deceased, had soap factory at No. so
Broadway, and had three brothers who
were engaged i'm different trades. John
Slidell, the deceased, was born at No. so
Broadway, in 1885, and IN 1917 engaged in
mercantile business with James McCrea,
but after about three years the firm failed.
John was as wild as any of the First
Ward boys" of his day, and one of his es-
capades led to duel with Stephen Price,
the manager of the Park Theater. They
fought, and Slidell shot his antagonist, in
fiicting severe wound. The failure of
the firm and the scandal of this duel in
duced him to go to New Orleans to better
his fortunes. An anecdOte is told of this
part of his career Slidell had travelled
extensively in Europe. After his return
he met New York belle, to whom he was
rather attentive. He told her of many
places he had visited. did you go to
Greece ?n she asked. No; why do you
ask ?" replied SlideIl. Oh-nothing-
only it would have been very natural that
you should have visited Greece to renew
cdrly associations" He had no more to
say.

SOuth Carolina Affairs.

The Subcommittee which has been in
South Carolina investigating KukluX out
RACES, will have plenty of material for a
startling report. The Washington cores
pendent of the New York Tribune gives
the following as what they learned at
UniOnVile:
"At UniOnville the Committee remained
two days. Not an avowed white Republic
can was fOundin the place. though private
ly assured by few that they would avow
themselves if protected. The terror of
the negroes here is complete. The last
election was carried by Republican ma
jority, but the Republican county officers
received KukluX notices, and all resigned
or fled. The policy there has peen more
toward murder and less toward whipping.
The killing of ten negroes, taken from the
jail by several hundred Kuklux, acting
under military organization, was investi-
ted
"a prominent lawyer of the place, Mr..
Shard, a Democrat, on crOss-eXaminatiOn,
startled the Committee by stating that he
believed almost every respectable unmar
ried man in the community belonged to
the Kuklux, and he believed thousand
Kuklux were within days march of that
village. A negro Methodist preacher,
named Louis Thompson, who had an APP
pointment June II, at Goshen Hill
Church, in Union county, received a Ku-
klux notice, in the usual form, not to
preach He preached, notwithstanding,
to very few, most of the congregation
fleeing when they saw the notice. In the
eveningja clan of twenty mounted KukluX
came, tied him and whipped him, led him
off several miles, dragging him part of the
way tied to the horses, whipped him again
until dead, mutilated him i'll way that

ed him, and threw the body into the Tiger
river, leaving notice forbidding any one
to bury him." H#F
The following is the version given of
the affair at Yorkville, where desperate
threw the pitcher of milk at Congressman
Stevenson and Wallace, notice of which
appeared in our telegraphic reports:
i" Atsupper at the hotel on the evening
of their arrival, Major James Berry threw
pitcher of milk over the Hon. A. r. Wal
lace, the Representative of the District,
and the Hon. j.. +. Stevenson of the Com
mittee. They were Just seating themselves
at the table, and not q word had been spO-
ken. Mr.. Wallace jerked out revolver
and raised it to shoot Berry-the ladies
screaming-but the landlord threw him.
self before Berry and Mr.. Stevenson coolly
caught Walace's hand, and ordered the
landlord to take that man out of the room.
Half a dozen friends gathered around Ber-
nv, and he went out. In the course of an
hour several citizens of prominence called
to apologize in the amplest manner on be-
half of Berry, who was willing to go on
his knees if required for what he alleged
was an. unintentional affrOnt to Mr.. Ste
venson. 1t was subsequently ascertained
that the business had been discussed by
Berry and lis friends during the afternoon
it was to be carried out, and that Berry
had proposed to use hot coffee, but had
finally decided on milk" ....-....s

one of the names of every paper in the
world-black ink and white paper. But
during the war of the rebellion, this was
