GEN. mAURY'S CARD.

We publish the following card
from Gen. D. II. Maury, relative to
the assault made upon him by con-
ductor Trice. Gen. Maury is an ir-
reproachable gentleman, and his
statements are worthy of the high
est credence. This account varies
in many respects from that hitherto
published by the Appeal, and copied
in this paper:
HUNTSVILLE, Feb. 1, 1872.
MAJ. NJ. j. WICKs: Dear Sir
Last night l arrived in Chattanooga
by the train from Virginia, having
been since Sunday week travelling
almost daily.
l therefore went into the sleeping
car at Chattanooga, to secure some
hours Of rest. The conductor of the
sleeping car met me and politely in
formed me that any of the berths
would be at my service, as he had
no other passengers. laid my trav-
cling bag and shawl upon a seat, and
fell into a civil chat with the con-
ductor, during which lie informed
me he was from Louisa county, Nir-
GINA, the adjoining county to my
own, SpotsylYania. / asked him his
name. He said his name was Trice.
l turned from him, and without q
word took up my valise, and went
out of the sleeping car, and went
into the next car in front.
had been in that car about five
or ten minutes. when l missed the
cape OF my overcoat, and thinkingI
might have left il in the restaurant
of the depot, l went hastily in and
asked the proprietor If / had LETT my
cape there. He told me no. then
went into the sleeping car 10 look
for it, and found in the seat where
had placed it. took ii up, and was
on my way out of the car, with. II
when the same conductor confront
ed me and said TO this effect: ~ GU
left this car very abruptly just now,
sir, why did you do so:" His man
ner was aggressive, replied; Be
cause, sir, chose to do So" and,
then, with a coarse language, and
insoleut manner, he demanded again
my reasons. L replied Il left the
car, because YOU are the author of
scandal upon the Southern people"
lie, then, ran 10 the sIOte' tOOA up
an iron poker, about eighteeninches
long, and come quickly up TO me,
with it, denouncing and threatening
me in violent and foul terms, until
had reached the door of the sleeping
car when, just as 1 stepped out upon
the platform of the car, be suddenly
caught me around the neck, with
the arm holding his lantern, he
threw me down upon the platform,
and struck me rapidly and violent
Iv. on the back Of my head with the
noker. He inflicted several cuts
upon my hea1 !, and several cuts upon
NV arms, before he was prevented
bv Mr.. Peck, the brakeman, from
further violence.
I had no weapon about my per-
son, nor anywhere within reach,
and having been manned in both |
NV hands, was at his mercy, from
the moment he threw me down.
These are the main facts known |
to me, about this outrage. l lay them |
before you, and am respectfully /
yours,

NEW ISSUE.


In our issue of the second ult, We
mentioned the fact that the case of
the Bank Of Tennessee vs.. Unison,
from Maury, one Of the cases now
in our Supreme Court, involving
the question of the liability of the
Bank for what is known as the Tor
bett or New issue, was, by the call
of the docket of that county about
to be reached. From this fact con-
siderable interest has been manifest
ed by parties concerned, and our
monetary reports show a slight adj
vance in the price. In conversation
Yesterday with the attorneys OF the
| Bank, we learned that the larger
case of the two presenting the
question, that of Weems, of Dickson
/ county, vs.. the Banks, the Bank
/ having gained the cause below, had
already been continued, and that or
the next motion day the case OF the
Bank VS.. Jamison, involving but 8
small amount, Is also likely to bt
continued or settled between the
parties. So far, there is no cas-
here, nor we believe at Jackson o
! Knoxville, in which the question o
the liability of the State for sue
issue is raised, nor is it probabl
that there will be, until an agree
case, or one raising the question
desired by both parties is brought
and on account of the large amour
involved, such q case would ineVita
bly, go TO the Supreme Court of tn

CUBA.

Since the commencement of the
revolution in Cuba in October, 1868,
10000 Spanish soldiers have been
sent to the island. OF this number
fully $4,000 have been killed in bat
tie, or have died of wounds and dis
ease. This enormous loss Of life
speaks volumes in favor OF the pro-
liable successful result Of the war
in favor of the Cubans. Certainly,
Spain cannot long continue to dis
patch to Cuba her arms bearing
population at this rate, to fall be-
meath the malarial influences of the
tropical climate.
This defamation of Spanish chiv-
airy forebodes the ultimate destiny
of Cuba; her annexation to the
United States. Our expanding COM
merce demands that we own this
key of the Gulf. II Cuba could
win her independence, she would
take no rank among the powers OF
earth, would be a foot ball for more
powerful neighbors, prey to civil
disorders, and, hence, her true place
is under the old fag-her rank a CO.
equal and sovereign State. VIZ
ought to recognize not0 her indie
pendence, and accord to her strug
Cling patriots amplest belligeren
rights. This would be in accord
ance with the spirit of our pas
national history.

PorsOnaI IBeauIy.

There is nothing more uufavora-
BILE 10 female beauty than late hours
Women who, either from necessity
or choice, spend most Of the dav in
bed, and the night at work or dissi-
patton, have always 4 pale, faded
complexion aud darkly-rimmed and
wearied eyes. Too much sleeps al
most as hurtful as too little, and is
sure to blOat the person with pal
lid and unwholesome fat. The diet
also has a marked influence upon
personal beauty. Generous living
is favorable 10 good looks, as il
tends TO fill out aud give color and
sickness to the skin. \ gross and
excessive indulgence, however,. in
eating and drinking is fatal to fe-
male charms, especially where there
is great tendency 10 make flesh"
Regularity of time in the daily re-
pasts and scientific cooking are the
/ best means of securing not only good
! health, but good looks. The appe-
tite should never be wasted during
I the Intervals between meals on pas
| try, confectionery, or any other
/ ticker of the appetite which graft
| fies the tastes, but does not support
the system. Exercise is, of course,
essential of female beauty. 1t ami.
mates the whole physical life, quick,
ems the circulation of the blood,
heightens the color, develops the
growth and perfects the form oI
each limb and the entire body. Il
also gives elasticity and grace e
every movement.

The Advantages Jackson Would
Derive from the Railroad Sub.
scriPGiOn.

The promotion of the interests of
our city should be the object Of all
her citizens. To secure the perma-
nent prosperity of Jackson and
place her upon a solid basis, we
must have the jackson and Mem
phis and also the Jackson
and Tennessee River Railroads.
The building of these roads would,
whilst they were in process of con-
struction, cause the expenditure of
near 100000 in this city. This
would pass into the hands of the la
borers, merchants, mechanics, and
gradually throughout the whole
community. Such has been the his
tory of railroad building every
where. From 1852 to 1860, Tennes-
see prospered more than she did
either before or since, and within
that time more than a thousand
miles of railroad were built. So it
has been throughout the Northern
States. Wherever they build rail-
roads the country prospers, even
before the roads are Completed
After our two roads are built even
as far as Lexington on the east, and
Centreville or Whiteville on the
west, the trade of Jackson will be
nearly doubled. We will get from
these two roads 10000 bales of cot
ton that do not now reach us at all.
Our cotton market is, or can be
made, equal to any in the State. So
with our grocery, provision and
dry goods market; we can offer as
many advantages tOpurchasers here
as anywhere in West Tennessee
This, with these roads, will bring
to us the trade of Hardeman, Fay
cite, and the western part Of Madi-
son, which now goes elsewhere. By
! the Tennessee River road we will
get all the trade of Henderson and
Decatur counties, and a portion of
Perry and Hickman. The profits
I 81 AoAAC 1AOAAA OuA lhAA GGSNu lIdue
would, every year, be more than the
entire amount of our subscription.
When these roads are finished, and
we put in communication with the
limestone, iron and cheap provisions
of Middle Tennessee, we will begin
TO manufacture on a large SCALE
This will bring Us industrious me-
chanics, who are the strength and
pride of all improving towns and
cities. Our laboring men will find
constant and remunerating employ
ment, our merchants will increase
their sales, and our property own
ers will have their wealth increased
by the enhanced value of their prop
erty. Railroads and factories which
VIII come together win make Jack
son in fact what she is now in name,
a city.
We forbear to consider what
would be the result if we were 10
vote down the subscription and
lose the roads, because we have too
much confidence in the sagacity of
our people to anticipate so disas-
trous an event.

OUR RAILROADS.

The citizens of Jackson will bear
i'll mind that two weeks from to-day
they are to vote upon the propo-
sition which is to tell upon the for
tunes of this city i'll all coming time,
for veal or woe. We do not, for mo-
ment, allow ourselves to doubt that
the intelligent and progressive spir-
it of our people will vote the small
pittance required to connect Jack
son with Memphis and with Lexing-
ton. They will vote it with a will;
but what we want is that the vote
shall be unanimous. There ought
not to be a single vote cast against
the proposition; and if it was not
for our knowledge of the perverse-
ness of some human natures, we
could not bring ourselves to believe
that any sane man within our cor
porate limits could for moment
think of voting against a propo-
sition at once so valuable in its eff
fects and so cheap in its cost.
Jackson nor, without these roads
and in spite of the adverse circum-
stances by which she is surrounded,
does an aggregate business approach
ing ten millions of dollars per year.
With this amount of business now
transacted, and with the increased
amount which will be done here
when we have the Jackson and
Memphis, the Jackson and Tennes-
see River, and the Jackson and Hum
tingdon Branch Railroads completed
all Of which will be accomplished
within the next year or eighteen
months-the business men alone, OF
Jackson, could well afford to pay
the amount of tax proposed to be
raised for the purpose of building
the two first roads. But the bust
ness men will not DO buPdened ex.
clusively with this tax. All of the
citizens of Jackson, of every class
Will bear fair share of the light
and inconsiderable burden. No man
will feel the amount which he will
be called upon to pay; for the in
creased amount of of profits arising
from business, and the increased
value of every species of property
within the city, will more than pay
it. Vote for the tax by all means.

Is spoken or written by every one Of
the hundreds Of new subscribers to
the WING AID TRIBrNP.
The success attending our propo-
sition to club the two papers is best
evidenced by an examination Of the
receipts for new subscriptions as
published weekly in our columns.
The " ADVOCATE strikes the
popular chord, and is meeting with
an encouragement beyond our most
Eanguine anticipations. Not only
from the county, but from the other
States, are the subscriptions coming
in rapidly.
Its size and the extent and quality

COE.ing to their Senses.

In the U. 5. Senate last Monday,
Mr.. Morrill,, republican Senator
from Maine, in discussing the am
nesty bill now pending, after ex-
pressing himself decidedly in favor
of universal amnesty, and denounc-
ed In strong terms the bill intro
duced by Mr.. Sumner, of Massachu-
sets, proposing the infliction OF
heavy penalties for the exclusion OF
negroes from public conveyances,
churches, hotels, public conveyan-
ces, churches, theaters and schools.
The Louisville COtUier-JOWndl OF
the 9TH says:
We have read Mr.. MorrilI's speech
with pleasure and profit. Ut
tered not only from a Republican
but from New England stand point
it shows that the author thoroughly
understood and felt a deep interest
in what he was saying. The first
part of the speech relates to amnesty,
which he contends is a necessity for
the national welfare, and then comes
an unanswerable constitutional ar
gument against Summers amend
ment, on the ground that the Four
teenth amendment can in no proper
sense be regarded as a grant of pow
er to Congress to invade the rights
not delegated to the General Gov
eminent.
AS extraordinary as the announce
ment may be we do not hesitate to
Inclav.o that fha
from Maine has made an excellent
State rights speech-a sort of thing
to which, except in the occasional
and continued utterances of Demo-
cratic members, our national halls
have not often of late resounded.
Taking the position that the Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth amendments
are merely affirmatory and have
made no change in the matter of
citizenship, he goes on TO show the
distinction between "the privileges
and immunities" secured to the citi-
zen by the Constitution, and the
domiciliary rights claimed for the
negro by politicians of the Sumner
type. The latter he declares Con-
gress has no sort of right to med
die with, belonging as they do ex-
clusively to the States, because new
er delegated to the General Govern
ment.
Regretting that We have not time
for a more full and perfect review,
we conclude with Senator MOrrilPs
closing remark:
Now, Mr.. President. one word
more and l have done. hold that
in reference to all rights with re-
gard to the matter of education,
worship, amusement, recreation,
entertainment, all of which enter so
essentially into the private life of
the people, into the personal rights
of the people, they all belong exclu-
sively to the States, of which the
Government of the United States
has no right to take cognizance. |
maintain that the bill OF the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts clearly and
manifestly undertakes to regulate
these personal, social, religious,
domiciliary rights of the people of
the States; that it is without war
rant in the Constitution; that it is
in derOgstion of the great funda-
mental principle of our system, that
is the supremacy of the General
Government within its sphere, the
independence of the States, and the
reserved rights of the people.

what the rlerehant. want.

W. r. More, Of Memphis, writes
concerning the suit instituted a day
or two ago in the First Circuit
Court of that city:
"The suit which the merchants
have instituted is not because OF
their unwillingness to pay in full
the ad valorem tax but because Of
the uncOnstitutiOnality (as they be-
lieVe) of the law claiming a priv
lege' or license tax, which, under
present statute, is imposed upon
them, lin addition to the ad valorem
tax The merchants claim, also,
that the Legislature has no lawful
power to arbitrarily define their
capital to be (as the present statute
does) the largest amount of stock
held on sale at any one time during
the year, and il is against this as
sumption that they also protest. In
brief, then, the merchants bring salt
to resist the payment of all priv
lege' taxes, and to insist upon sim
ply an ad valorem tax upon actual
stock, Just as is now claimed from
other respectable classes and call
ings."

TIE Great RabbIt ffunt--One Hun
dred Rabbits KII1ed in one Day.

For some weeks the spOFtsneu Of
the community had been waiting for
the promised signal to assemble at
the Crittenden plantation to burn off
q large body of cleared land, that
had relE aimed uhcultivated for ten
years, upon which the broom sedge
had grown thick and high, and the
rabbits had increased in proportion.
Friday, the 9Th inst, was the day
set apart, and II O'Clock the hour
for firing the grass. The morning
indicated an suspicious day for the
business, and BY 10 o'clock the
crowd began to assemble from every
quarter, and by the appointed hour
there was very large body of sport
ing Cavaliers" on the ground, EARN
ed and equipped as the law di-
reefs" among whom was some of
our distinguished sportsmen, who
have taken premiums at our neigh
boring Fairs for pigeon shooting.
To guard against accidents, moth
ing was admitted but bird shot.
About II O'Clock a number was ap-
pointed to fire the grass, in the mean
time the gunners-in number about
forty-with double-barreled shot
guns, took their respective positions.
Erelong the devouring element be-
gan its sway, and as his fiery tongue
began to reach aloft, the enthusiasm
of the sportsmen grew more in
tense. Soon the white tailed game
began TO dart through the lines.
Then began a repetition Of that
music which has not been heard in
our land since "grim visaged war
smoothed his wrinkled front" Over
one hundred persons had gathered
there, among whom was a goodly
number of colored friends "to git

COL. JOHN w. BUFoRD.

This gentleman, at this time citi-

come a citizen of jackson. The
Reriec and Journal in noticing his
purpose TO remove to this city, pays
the following compliment, which we
personally know to be true to the
letter, and which we fully endorse:
We regret very much that Col.
Buford and his most estimable lady
expect to remove from our midst to
Jackson, Tenn. Our town will be
the loser by their removal, but q
new field is open to Col. Buford, ia
which we wish him unbounded sue
cess. He merits success, for he is a
thorough gentleman, talented, stu
dious, attentive TO his business, a
first rate lawyer and 4 most excel
