TIE KNOX COUNTY JAIL.
"a Relic or Rather the ResurreeIiOB
of Rarbarisu.';

OF Barbarism.''
From Knoxville exchange of the 18th
inst, we take the subloined article which
may prove a valuable suggestion to the
official authorities in other places than the
one above designated
''ln the Supreme Court, the other day,
Rebecca Self, the alleged accessory before
the fact to the Mason murder, sometime
since, committed in Greeneville, and ot her
wise known as The Triple Tragedy was
brought from the jail to have hearing be-
fore the Supreme Court. When about
entering upon the case, counsel for the
accused asked the court to permit her to
retire, as she had suddenly taken sick,
and so seemed, the counsel going on to
say that she had not been well since she
had reathed the noxious Yapors Of the
"knoyille JAIL" and gave him occasion TO re
mark further that if the Court could, he
hoped they would not remand her 10 that
place again, reeking as It was with stencil
which was a shame TO civilized eOmmL-
nifty. In this saAe connection the AttOr-
ney General remarked that he thought
if there was any way that the Court could
that they should give their attention 10 this
jail-Duisance. That was not merely relic
OF baIbarism, but the very resurrection OF
it. That the County Court Of Knox coun-
ty ought to be indicted for allowing such a
nuisance.
Thus it seen by the people at home and
from abroad. 1t is an odium under which
we must rest until reformed. Let the
County Court look at II. If not, let the
people move them to action. No reflection
was cast upon the keeping of the jail.
There's no complaint on that score. Con-
ira, is not commended. No! It's hOrrid,
unciyilized structure is the matter for re-
form, and nothing more"

The Relation Of Public Schools 20 the
Welfare OF the State.

3 soAAakC ~ t4A6 S1Ales
This Is the subject Of an address recently
delivered by DIR. William Shelton before
the Tennessee Central Teachers Associ; :
lion at MurfreesborO. The speech bas
been printed in pamphlet fern, and coDy
lSh upon our table, The speaker argues
That common school education for tie
Children OF the State is necessary as a
means OF increasing our population, pre-
venting crime, utilizing labor, protecting
property, and perpetuating our free Demo-
cratic Institutions. We make the follow
ing brief extract from this address TO show
Its tone. He says:
According TO the Educational Bill passed.
by the last Congress of the United States,
appropriating the sale Of public lands 10 The
cause of education 10 the States, TenHessee
will be entitled TO about $4,000. This,
added 10 the other sources of income 10
the State for educational purposes, viii also
diminish the amount Of taxation for public
instruction; so that, by moderate increase
in the present rate of taxation, the legisia-
ture may do all that is necess airy 10 make
our system OF public schools efficient.
This will be the most important question
that will come before the next Legislature.
Let this question be laid squarely before
them In all It's bearings. Let them realize
It's Importance. Let them understand its
value. Let them know that they stand in
crisis which demands courage and reso-
luton; and trust they viii lift themselves
high enough above mere partisan aims, to
take the responsibility Of doing what they
know Is for the good Of the people. In
doing this, they will be acting worthy Of
their position. Their constituents viii
honor them. Future generations will rise
mp and call them blessed. For the people
honor most, not The men who are willing
to swerve from the right to please them,
but the men who honestly Try to do them
good.

From Memphis exchange of the oath

rent, or rather its habitues are. Mr.. j. J.
DuBose, the Deputy Sheriff ia charge, was
ordered by the court to summon a special
jury instanter for the trial of petty LARGE
ny case. In executing the order Mr.. Du-
Bose walked outside the bar railing and
commenced summOuing persons from the
loungers. Asking young man for his
name, Mr.. DuBose was informed that, "I
am not old enough for Juror, and I won't
give you my name"
Mr.. DuBoss said il made no difference,
and that he wanted bis name.
The young fellow peremptorily refused to
inform the Deputy Sheriff as to his cogno-
men, and Mr.. DuBose, annoyed at his OBJ
stinacy, coliared him and started to march
him before the Judge.
Mr.. DuBOse sud ienly loosened his held
on the young fellows coat collar. a stout
kick in the region of the lower portion of
the vest was the cause of the Deputy
Sheriff looseniDg his grip. For about a
minute it was "giYe and take" betw cen the
two, with considerable more take than give
on the part of Deputy Sheriff DuRose.
Finally Deputy Sheritis Tasgart and Stew.
art came to his relief, and the obstreperous
youth was induced to face Judge F1ippin.
In answer to an inquiry of the Judge, he
said his name was Brittenours, and that he
was bnt nineteen years old. The Judge
fined him ten dollars and sent him home.
That was fight number one.
Fight number two was simply a Jaw
slapping. Barrister Crokam was arguing
some legal point with Barrister j. D. Adams.
and in the course of speech called the latter
'qiar.n This was very wrong, and Bar
rister Adams accordingly slapped Brother
Cr0kam's left jaw. It was very funny, and
with the first fight caused much excite
ment,"

following report Of the peach market at

During the early part Of the season the
market was active, with disposition on
the part of holders TO hold over and moi
force sales. Some early lots of choice cling
stones were offered at three for FIVE cents

quence, there were few sales announced

pensions, however, were mostly Of o TEN.
porary character, as nearly all the stock
held at the time was paid for. Mrs. Murti,
who keeps the large concern at the corner
OF Fourth and Orleans, was said to be the
heaviest loser. She had fourteen five-cent
piles on hand when the panic came, and
was unable to realize anything bat the
stones. Fortunately, however, the lady

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Revised regu-

tary Of the Treasury for the refundidg Of
taxes paid by banks, companies and corpo-
rations upon dividends, interest and profits
due to nonresident aliens prior 10 March
10, 1856. The old regulations required GER
tain specified evidence. The new ones win
provide for the allowance upon any evil
dence whatever which shall prove to the
satisfaction Of the Commissioner Of Inter-

actually paid TO nonresident alien.

The Dead left to Sleep Alone.

The Memphis Appeal Of Monday the
ed inst, contains the following:
"The keeper of the Catholic Cemetery
came into the city last night to complain of
the conduct of Undertaken Walsh's hearse-
driver, who conveyed two eorpses to the
cemetery gate at nine O'Clock last night, and
wanted to have them inferred. The hour
being unreasonable, and no ''dead house"
on the ground, the keeper refused to take
the collins, and the driver refused TO bring
them back to town. The psuper corpses
were therefore left on the common" out.
side the cemetery gate, liable to be eaten by
hogs during the night. The keeper said he
went to see Squire Miller about it, but
could obtain no satisfaction. He was also
at the st&tion-house looking for some one
who could enforce remedial measures, but
failed to find any one. A better under
standing seem desirable between the Coun-
ty Undertaken and the cemetery authori-
ties.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Several leading
New York journals will publish tomorrow
morning startling communication from
one of the stockholders of the Pacific Mail
Southern Steamship Co.. to the effect that
in a suit now pending against that corpora
ton in the Supreme Court of Kings county,
there is proof of remarkable discrepancy
between the figures as furnished by said
company TO the court on the 27th of May,
1872, and those furnished on the 18th of
September, 1872. The following summary
is taken from the records Of the court:
The record Of May p, shows the amount
of investments of the company to be S.
OBS, 763, and only 81, 137 ,147 on Sept. IA.
The complaint goes on TO say that this loss
cannot be explained By the burning of the
steamship America, as the steamers are
counted in the assets of the company and
not in the investments. 4 very critical
examination of the two statements fails to
reveal where the difference has gone

Horace .Greeley's Return Tour.

speech at WflItamsport, Pa.
SUNBURY, Pa, Sept. 26.-Mr. Horace
Greeley spoke at Williamsport this evening.
He condemned the course of the Cabinet
ministers and office-holders in racing from
one end of the country to the other devo-
ting their time to re-electing their superiors
in Office and thus keeping themselves in
place. BE said that m--4Fermont
where people never heard of money
being paid before, money was poured out
like water to induce Democrats TO vote for
the Grant ticket or stay away from the
polls;so in Maine. One hundred thousand
dollars was paid in Maine for votes, and if
they elect their ticket this fall it will be be-
cause they have one hundred dollars TO our
one. Greeley continued at some length
touching upon the most important topics of
the political canvass, and finally retired to
the train amid great cheering.
At Sunbury, Pa.
At this place MIR. Greeley made a speech
in which he said that the soldiers of our
great struggle are among the most gener-
Gus of enemies, and readiest to give gener-
Gus and msgnanimous terms TO those they
overcame. Ii the matter had been left to
the soldiers of the two armies to settle,
believe this country would have been paci-
fed and reunited years ago. / say that
these soldiers, the men who fought each 9TH
or, in that great struggle learned, if they did
not already know it, to respect each other.
l believe that the soldiers of the Union
army, when they had finished their war,
went home with no bitterness in their
hearts towards the great mass of those who
struggled against them, and with respect
for their gallantry, their Soldiership and
their courage. think that was true OF the
great body Of those men who made up the
Union army.
Mr. Greeley spoke of the vast numbers
that had turned out to welcome him aud
his companions at Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Louisville and Indianapolis, and predicted
that the States of
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania
would go for the Liberal candidates by de-
cisive majorities if fair election was held.
Nothing, said Greeley, but the power of
money can deprive us Of victory on the Sth
of October. They must pay voters to get
them, and they don't buy men who are re-
solved not to be bought. Now / believe,
fellow-citizens, that there are no 10000 men
TO sell their votes among the 100000 that
support the Liberal ticket. If there are,
entreat of them to
Make them Pay Well.
If you are mean enough to sell your
selves, have at least the pride to ask de-
cent price. (Laughter.) They rely on
their money, they have no other reliances,
and you can defeat them if you will. be-
lieve that when the wires flash into New
York on the Sth of October, the result of
your election, you viii cast no cloud upon
the face of Liberals Of our great city, but
that they shall rejoice with you in their con-
fdence and trust that the 9Th of October has
settled the fight on this election, and that
