THE CHATTANOOGA POLICE MUD.
DIE
The CItr MarahnI on TrInI.

About the trial of Marshal Howell. OF
Chattanooga, the Times of Saturday says
The charges were read by the Recorder,
and are very vOluminous. They charge the
Marshal with lewdness and embezzlement,
and various other offences.
On motion, it was ordered that the people
and the defendant, both be allowed to ap-
pear by counsel.
Col. w. L. Eakin and Richard Henderson,
Esq, appeared for the charge, and Capt. x.
Wheeler and Maj. W. D. Van Dyke, for the
Marshal.
Mr.. Van Dyke moved to dismiss the
proceedings on the ground that the Com
mittee had no jurisdiction of the charges.
If there were any charges here, they were
criminal charges; and this defendant can
only be tried on such charges by a court of
law. The charter granted by the Legisla-
ture cOnfers certain specific powers upon
the body corporate. 1t authorizes them to
appoint recorder, who has jurisdiction of
all offences concurrent with that of Justices
of the peace. The Board if it could try,
could punish, and where was the right in
law for them to infict any punishment on
any officer elected by the people.
Col. Eakin replied to Mr.. Van Dyke.
The legal effect Of the motion to dismiss
was a full admission of the matters and
things contained in the charge. The Mar
shall, by his counsel, legally admits his guilt,
but denies the right of Council to try him.
The learned counsel admitted that the
city charter did not provide for any such
proceedings as this. He read from Abott'e
law Of corporations page IS, TO show that a
corporation had the legal right to remove
an officer for cause.
R. Henderson, Esq, followed on the
same side. He said the Board Were simply
the agents Of the corporators-the people.
But suppose the Marshal were to turn out
TO be a pickpOcket, could not the Board
him? Must he still 90 on exer-
CisiDg the functions of his office? He
elaborated the principle of law read by Col.
Eakin and urged that it was for the interest
of the defendant to have the charges heard
By the committee. His reputation would
suffer here and elsewhere by choking off
this investigation. He stated in conclusion
that it was not claimed that the Council
could infict any other punishment than
dismissal from Office.
Capt. Wheeler closed the argument for
The motion. He denied most emphatically
hat his client admitted any guilt by his
motion to dismiss. Mr.. Eakin's law was
nothing but digest of New York case,
and the authority was only conferred by
hat law for corporation to remove an ap-
1ointee of its Board of Aldermen or Board |
If Directors.
If Mr.. Howell stands trial here, he will |
nave to stand another and another from
week to week. He proposed to be tried !
egally before jury of his peers, or not at |
II.
The witnesses were of the worst class in
he city. Their evidence would not be |
worth a flip.
At the close of the argument the Mayor
,ut the motion: "Has the Council iuris-
LECTION of the charges" On a call of the |
yes aad nays, it was decided in the mega
i've; when on motion of Aid. Mills, Council |
djOurned sine die.

Accidental Shooting.

4 most distressing accident occurred at
the residence of Mr.. j. L. Morrison, on
Market street yesterday.
AT about P. NJ. Johnny Divine, son Of
J. L. Divine, and son Of Mr.. Morrison
were sent into a room of Mr.. MOrrsOn's
residence to procure Iscme keys that were
in a drawer. A son Of DIR. p. D. Sims and
another lad were with them. 10 Norris
son, a lad of nine, opened the drawer
containing the keys, and reached
drawer an old, self-cocking, single barrel
pistol. Johnny Divine was leaning over
the drawer looking into it when Morrison
raised the keys. It happened that the
pistol was lying in such position that the
muzzle pointed toward Johnny, and no
one can tell how, was discharged. The
ball passed through the drawer, struck
Johnny about two inches below the left
nipple and pierced his body, coming out
under the lefG clavicle. His lower left
rib was badly shattered, and the
left lung probably perforated. After doing
its deadly work the bullet still had suffi-
Gent momentum to brQise a door at six
feet distance, when it fell to the floor. The
pistol was All old affair, and had been kept
in the same manner for several years. 1t
was loaded just after the fire in November
last by one of the young men, none of the
rest Of the family having any knowledge of
that fact, Both families have the sympa-
thies of this community.
The surgeons who dressed the wound
say it is an even chance for the poor lad to
live or Chattanooga Daily Times,

ASTRONOMICAL DISCOVERY
A New Planet I'm the Zenith.

During the dull days and absence Of
business at the capitol, one of the efficient
young men connected with the -'s of
fee has had no other way to amuse himself
than By gazing into the heavens and study
ing the planetary systemand gnOmic scrawls
Of times chiselled couplats. During bis
observations he has discovered new planet,
low down in the zenith, being South ex-
actly, and having magnitude Of only 70
pounds, still it is so brilliant as to be seen
every afternoon half an hour before sunset
1t is related to the planet Venus, towards
which there is an attractive affinity. It's
name is LasagOcam, and the instrument by
which it was discovered is an opera glass.

relative TO the revenue officers accounts, we
learn that Supervisor Conkling of Louisi-
ana, has gone to Washington for the pur-
pose of rendering his resignation. His
reason for retiring is the warm weather
now prevailing in New Orleans. 1t is not

this hot place. We learn from Capt. Gavett
that the crops in Mississippi, Alabama, and

WHIPPING HORSES.

l would caution all who train or use
| horses against exciting the ill-Will of the
animal. Many think they are doing finely
and are proud of their success in horse
training, by means of severe whipping, OF
! otherwise rousing and stimulating the pas
| siOns, and then from necessity, crushing the
| will through which the resistance is prompt
| ed. No mistake can be greater than
this; and there is nothing that so fully
/ exhibits the ability, judgment and skill of
! the real hOrseman as the care and
tact displayed in winning instead
| of repelIing, the action of the
mind. Although it may be necessary to
use the whip sometimes, it should always
be applied judiCiOusly and care should be
taken not to rouse the passions or excite
the will 10 obstinacy. The legitimate and
proper use Of the whips calculated to oper-
ate on the sense of fear almost entirely.
The affections and better nature must be
appealed to in training horse as well as in
training a child, but if only tie passions are
excited, the effect is depraying and injuri-
Gus. This is a vital principle, and can be
disregarded in the management of sensitive,
courageous horses only at the imminent
risk of spelling them. l have known many
horses of naturally gentle character to
be spoiled by being whipped once, and
one horse that was made vicious by being
struck with a whip once while standing in
his stall. have referred TO these instances
to show the danger Of rough treatments and
the effect that may be easily produced by
ill-usAge, especially with fine blood horses,
and those vi high nervous temperament
Many other cases might be cited, as such
ale by no means uncommon. Sensitive
horses should never be left after they have
been excited by the whip or other means
until Gained doWn by rubbing or patting
the head and neck and giving apples, sugar
or something of which the animal is fond.
Remember, the whip must be used with
great care, or it is liable to do mischiefand
may cause irreparable injury.-WGgner's

Shot I'm the Leg,

Last Wednesday Mr.. Micaiah Fly, six
miles from Humboldt, shot negro man
who was in his employ. 1t seems that the
negro's wife had been obtaining provisions
from the neighbors, whom she told that
Mrs. Fly had sent her to them for this pur-
pose. Learning this, Mr.. Fly went to see
her about it, and while standing near the
cabin was assaulted by the woman's hus-
band, whom be shot, wounding the negro

Clap.trap and Cant.-Iuvalid reader, if

Plantation Bitters, the most wholesome in
vigorant in the world, owes the rapidity
with which it relieves the disordered stom-
ach and the shattered nerves to the diffu-
slvC agent which conveys its medicinal in
gradients to the seat of the complaint. That
agent is the spirit Of the sugar cane, the
most nutritious and agreeable of all the va
Tieties Of alcohol. The medicinal ingredi-
ents OF the Bltters, valuable as they are,
would be comparatively useless without this
distributiVe basis. They would ferment
and sour. Beware, as you hope for health,
of the horrible compounds of refuse drugs
in state of fermentation which humbugs

THE EXPOSITION.

Meeting of the Board Last Night.
The Board of Managers of the Nashville
Exposition met in the Maxwell House last
night.
M. B. Howell, Secretary of the Finance
Committee made the following report, with
specific exhibits, relative to the
RECEIPTS OF EXPOSITION.

ern Express Companies. ..... $50 90
From Vine street entrance. ..... 6,012 40
From Broad street entrance. 1885 %
Total receipts. ............ $21 ,496 90
Mr.. Weakley, Chairman of the Finance
Committee, reported
THE TOTAL EXPENDITURES
to be about $27, 1876 90, showing that the
deficit will be about $6,00O Much of this
deficit is caused by the amount due on the
old building and for the erection of the new
building, which, with fixtures and every
apartment entire cost $I3,561 03. The
value of the buildings is between $4,000
and $4,000. Should it be decided to hold
these buildings and give another exposition,
the profits will be far greater than has been
the present Indebtedness, inasmuch as there
will be but little expense to be incurred.
To continue the exposition the deficit will
have to be raised. When this amount
($6,OOO) due on the old and new
buildings shall have been paid, the
existing Board will have in their
possession as trustees for the public, prop
erty worth near $4,000, which the future
Board will have to begin with. The differ
ence will be great. Had Shere been no ex-
penses (S13,561.03) for buildings the profits,
net, would have amounted to the difference
between the cost of the building and the
expenditures total. Hence the profits
would have been at least SI3, 935.O3. Shall
the buildings be sold? Let our citizens
consider it. A motion was made and
adopted that all the reports of committees
to be presented at the meeting last night
should be referred to the Finance Commit
tee with the request to prepare forthwith a
report for publication. 1t is proper to state
that allowance has been made for all reports
to be made and the above amount of ex-
penditures will not thereby be increased in
any respect. The Board meets tonight in
