! TRAITOR IN THE ADMINISTRATION CAN'T

erNA AroR MORTON WORKING FOR THE PHllA-
DrIpHIA NoMINATI0N-HE THINKS GRANT

fBY TELEGRAPH TO THB TRIBUNRl
vy.eu,NaroN May Cone Of the most startling
1855 Of political treachery will be disclosed in this
citv tomorrow. The first public man who IN
sncech was bold enough to declare himself in favor
of Gen. Grants denomination, and the man who
moro than almost any other has abused and at
tempted to drive out of the party those Republicans
who have dared to make it known that
thew preferred some other candidate, is
Senator Morton of Indiana. Notwithstanding
all this II has been whispered about the Capitol for
q month past. that Senator Morton had expressed
doubts as TO the wisdom of nominating Gen
Grant but no one could be found to believe 1t, ana
tbe Senator himself either avoided the subject or
smoke in the same tone that he has during the past
year But to-day, a member of Congress received,
from delegate from his district to the Philadelphia
Convention, en- autograph letter written by Senator
Morton's brother-in-law Mr. Burbank OF Nebraska
marked "prvate and confidential" In TINS
letter the delegate is told that the ap
parent division in the Republican party has peen
caused bv personal dislikes and has not grown out
of any principles 1t is highly important, III not ao
sontely necessary for the success of the party tha
these dissensions be healed but in order to do ths
Com Grant must be thown overheard and some one
o1se nominated at Philadelphia All things con-
;dAred the letter concludes. "Sonator o. 7. Nor
,on is believed to be the best man for the place."
The member of Congress who has received this
letter; is sincere Grant man, and is, OF course,
hibIv indignant at discovering what he believes to
49, senator Morton's treachery. He will therefore
l.ra the letter in the Presidents hands tomorrow
morning.

ThOn Shalt Not Steal

An unusual instance of the teaching and
practical illustration of the commandment
"ThOu shalt not steal,' is to be found il
the records Of the Supreme Court, before
which honorable body of judicial intelli.
gence was yesterday argued the case OF
Green Turner vs. the State. Green is a
colored man and among other propensities
has, it seems, turn for playing night
Grant on other peoples animals without
asking their consent as to the propriety of
his acts in that particular respect. Some
time ago Green, so say the jury of the Giles
County Circuit Court, did then and there
feloniOusly take, steal and carry away the
mule Of a gentleman living in that county
He rode the animal into the county of
Bedford and there turns up as a
Methodist minister of the gospel. travelling
about to seek whom and what he might
convert. After preaching some time near
Shelbyville, Green made a circuit into the
Conference. While preaching to a vast
congregation Of "culled bredren," and from
the text Chou shalt not STEAL" an officer
arrested Green, who being tried was con-
victed of mule stealing, and took an appeal
to the Supreme Court. His ground of de-
Tense is purely technical, for, while he NAV
not be able to rebut the belief that he did
feiOniOusly take, steal, yet he wants to
show that he did ride and not carry awav
the beast. His object in preaching from
the text "thou shalt not steal" was to turn
every body out of the notion so as to have
the field to himself. He is under sentence
of death.

over in the sum of $500 to appear for trial
at the Criminal Court. In default of bail
he was committed to Jail.
SUPREME COURT. - Owing to
the sdetentiOn of the Louisville
train yesterday the Sumner county Lawyers
did not arrive on time, and the section Of
the court engaged on that docket, took I'D
an ejectment suit from Humphreys. The
court is still engaged on the Marshall and

Judge NicholsOH's section will be able to
reach and devote several weeks to the
Davidson docket before the adjournment of
the present term Of the Supreme Court.

large number of persons interested in cases
from this county now pending in the Su-
preme Court.

CROCKETT COUNTY.
A subscriber writes from Csgevii

A subscriber writes from Cageviiie:
"Our Commissioners have completed the
taking of the census of the qualified voters
residing in the proposed new county of
Crockett, and find the number to be 1880,
as provided for in said act. The election
will be held on the 18th of February next
for and against said new county. The pros
poets now are very good that the people will
vote it by the two-thirds majority. The vote
in all the fractions, except Madison, will be
almost unanimous. If the question is voted
by the people, we have a constitutional
county in spite of all opposition, and will
have one of the best counties in the State in
point of soil; situated between the South
and Middle FOrked-deer rivers, taken flom
the counties of Madison, Gibson, Haywood
and Dyer. The territory composing the
new county is tOlerably well settled with
an industrious, intelligent population, and
they want nothing but the new county to
make this one of the most desirable lOca-
tions in the State"

A Good Joke.

The Jackson Plaindealer tells a good
joke upon a certain young gentleman who
lives not a thousand miles from that place
While on a visit to Nashville some time
since, in company with some young gents.
he dined at the Maxwell. His polite waiter
handed him bill of fare. Not knowing
exactly, be asked what it was. "Why, its
an advertisement" replied one Of his COM
panions. WhereupSn the indignant young
man called out to the waiter, "Take this
thing away, and bring Inc my dinner
want some ham and eggs" The wster
suppressing a laugh, proceeded to comply
and soon his favOrite viandS were before
him. But alas, the eggs spread out in
separate plate, looking like perforated bat
ter cakes, were not recognized by him.
Turning TO the waiter he said sternly,
didn't tell you to bring me some eggsr'
The waiter calmly replied, 'Them's eggs,
sir" and the young man, amidst a roar of
laughter, was only convinced by the proof.
However, he was so disguised with the boys
and the waiter, that he left the hotel to
spend the remainder of his visit with an
uncle.

OUR WEEKLY EXCHANGES.

Some Of our weekly exchanges have
forwarded us complaints that they do
not receive our daily issue. Hereto
fore it has been our custom, to a
most liberal extent, to furnish our daily
issue to our weekly cOnfreres. But
the number of the latter is so great
that we find it impossible longer to
comply with this rule.
We are willing to exchange with the
Tennessee Press a weekly for a weekly.
a semi-weekly for a semi-weekly and a
daily for a daily. Further than this
justice does not seem to require us to
go. The actual cost of our respective
issues does not permit of our doing
more. UNION AND AMERICAN.

OF all the sensational performances of
the day, that Of the Prussian Hercules in a
London theatre is the most striking. There
have been many performers of the gun trick,
but the cannon of Herr HOltum is not a
trick, but reality. A siege gun, drawn
into the arena by two horses, is loaded bv
an artilleryman, and, in sight of the audi
ence, cannon ball of 20 pounds weight is
inserted. Then Herr Holtum walks to the
opposite side, and, standing face to the
muzzle, gives the word of command, SFirep'
and sure enough, flash and boom, which
shakes the building, the cannon ball is
caught by the Prussian Hercules. On one
occasion-either through some slight error
in the management of the gun, or owing to
the charge of power being too great-tbe
cannon ball passed over Herr HoItuu's
head, instead of into his hands, and, as if to
prove that 'there was really no deception"
carried away portion of one of the pilas-
tiers.
