SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Man Killed ON the Nashville and Chat
tRnOOSR Railroad.

A young man named Henry Willis fell
from freight train of the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad at RacoOn Mountain
yesterday evening and was instantly killed.
His head was crushed by the wheels and
both hands cut of, and one or two cars
were thrown from the track. Willis was at
the time learning to be a Conductor,
and was regarded as faithful and reliable
young man. His body was somewhat
mangled, and his brains split on the track.
The remains were sent to Stevenson, where
he formerly resided, and who was connec-
ted in the railroad agency with his father
who lives there now. 1t is reported that as
he fell, brakeman, with whom he had
been conversing, caught him and held him
for several minutes, but finally gave out,
and was compelled to leave him to the
shocking death that awaited his fall.

Olive Logan and the Ladies.

1t is a noteworthy fact that Olive Logan's
popularity is greatest among her own sex,
in spite of any prejudice which may exist
against female takers. Miss Logan is a
lddy-her position in society is Of the very
first, IS was shown by the brilliant attend
Ance of fashionables at her wedding in New
York, a few weeks since, when the ladies
of the family of George Law, the Fifth
avenue millionaire, and others like them,
were conspicuous. At Miss Logan's last
lecture in Louisville the audience was two
thirds aides, and the display Of toilets was
like a grand opera night. Every gentleman
present seemed to have two Of the fair sex
with him. The ladies like Olive; she is
elegant, piquant, eloquent and a true
woman.

Important to wholesale Liquor
Dealers.
The following communication explains
itself:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF
INTERNAL REVENUE, WASHINGTON, Jan.
II, 1S72.-Sir: Yours of 9th inst, is &C
knowledged, you write sat the request of a
number of the wholesale liquor dealers of
this city, | submit the following questions:
When a cask or package Of distilled spirits
is filed for shipment or sale on the premises
of a wholesale liquor dealer, can they add
cOloring matter to the same without be-
coming liable to special tax as Tectiiers of
sprits?'
The coloTing matter mentioned is repre-
scented to consist Of burned sugar, discol-
ored in water TO about the consistency of
ordinary syrup"
The apothecary who makes the prepara-
ton, informs me that it is applied at the
rate Of three tablespOonsfull to the barrel of
40 gallons of spirits. l am also informed
that there are parties who add syrup in
larger quantities, say one quart to each key
Of five gallons, thus reducing the proof, etc.
The reduction of proof by the use of
water, does not make the party reducing
likDle as a rectifier. [See P. 121, vol y,
Record.
The law is not now construed so as to
admit Of the addition of coloring matter to
spirits" without the payment Of rectifer's
special tax. / may add, that although there
may exist a reason for giving the most Lib
eral Interpretation to law, where it is clear
that such Interpretation will result in public
benefit, there seems to be no occasion in a
case like this, where what is sought to be
done under the regulations involves to a
greater or less extent the practice Of a de-
ception on the purchasing community.

CITY NOTICES,
Oar COming Exposition.


The Finance Committee of the Nashville
Industrial Exposition have been directed by
| the Board of Managers to carry out theplan
| complete the building and other preparations
for the Exposition in May, 1872.
This plan cOntemplates that individuals,
firms, and corporations shall execute notes
for such amounts as they choose, which
! notes will be deposited with the banks by
whom the funds are advanced, as collateral
security for the loans. The net proceeds of
the Exposition, as fast as realized, will be
applied to the payment of such loans, and
when the Exposition has been closed, the
makers of the notes will only be called upon
to make up by pro rata payments such a
sum as viii cover the deficit.
The experience of the last year justifies
the committee in the confidence that no part
of the notes viii be required to be paid. The
success of the present effort will depend upon
the energy and spirit with which our citizens
begin and prosecute the undertaking, and
we can not doubt that the Exposition viii
be worthy of Tennesseeans and of the city
Of Nashville. The committee will wait upon
our citizens and receive their notes, and
take this means of making the fact gener-
ally known. They hope that they may be
met IN a generous and liberal manner, and
that nothing may be wanting to render the
Exposition Of May, 1872. a brilliant success.

Capt James Houghton, 4 well known

The Louisville Ledger Of yesterday says.
The weather yesterday was mild, and the
snow was melting rapidly. If the present.
temperature continues, an early rain may
be reasonably expected, and the disappear
ance of the ice and the resumption Of naYi-
CATION may be looked for at an early day.

Excess of expenditures over re-

| Excess Of expenditures over re-
ceipts for five months. .......S ~ 500
The item of $4,000 which l have set
down for such pressing contingencies in the
! way of judgments, etc, as we foresee and
cannot hope to escape within the contem-
plated five months, is probably too low by
! half The estimates of collection are per-
haps higher than they should be. Especially
is this likely in regard to
the Revenue Collectors portion of them.
That officer has used extraordinary dill
gence, RI do not mean to reflect on other
oficers,1 and has left less than the ordinary
arrearage to collect. The estimate of ex-
penditures is quite too low, if the passion
for appropriations continue to increase in
ratio equal to that Of the months which
have passed over us. The markethouse as
it ia being reconstructed, is regarded by
swift fnanciers as shabby subterfuge, and
there is no eye but that of Omnicience
which can foresee what splendid buildings
or ornamental contriVances we may be
called on to forward between this day and
the LIST July, by "appropriating out of the
treasury such monies as are not otherwise
appropriated"
Now, 1 pray you, gentlemen, is it not time
to consider? Or shall we say like profigates
'sIet us eat and drink for tomorrow we
die" For my part intend to resist with
all my power the increase of expenditure,
and especially new plans for creating a great
pressure upon the treasury for some favorite
measure. Let who will yield to these
"pressures," l intend to yield only
to that pressure which comes from a
sense Of duty to the people of Nashville,
who expressly commissioned me as well as
you, gentlemen, to guard them against
municipal extravaganza, 80 that they may
be able to crd,cI at least before zoe begin to
run.
Inasmuch as the office Of wharf master
has been little more than self-suStaining
one at least, and as the rate of wharfage
has been reduced to five (5) cents, l re-
spectfllly recommend that the Office Of
wharf-master be abolished and that his
duties be assigned to the City Marshal in
addition to his other official business.
Propositions have been made to me by
parties who desire 10 purchase the city's
stock in the Winchester and Alabama Rail
road. This stock was originally about
$4,000. beg leave to recommend that
Joint committee be selected from the two
boards, whose duty it shall be to examine
into the condition of this stock and report
back to the City Council. The entire stock
of the road in question has changed hands,
by the recent sale, and,whatever interest
the city has in it is merged in another road.
