Tho Batesville Republican of the
27th December gives the following par
ticulars of a bloody tragedy;
Last Saturday Moses Ford, one of
the deputy sherifs of this county and
marshal of this city, got into an alter,
cation with a negro named John
Woods, in the course of which the ne
gro drew a pistol on Mr. f. The latter
succeeded in wrenching the pistol from
the negro, after which he told him to
consider himself under arrest, and or
dered him to report to the mayor on
Monday. The negro then crossed
Main street, passing down toward his
home, while Mr.. F. passed down the
same street on the opposite side. Mr..
f. then called across the street to the
negro, saying: John, remember and
be sure to report at Mayor Rosa's office
at nine o'clock on next Monday morn,
ing" The negro angrily replied that
he wouldn't appear. Ford then re-
marked that he would put him in jail,
and make sure Of his appearance. He
then ran across the street after the ne
gro, who in turn ran into his house
near by; and Ford, when he entered
the yard, seized an AK, and demanded
admittance to make the arrest, and
was refused. Whcreupon he burst
open the door, entered the house, and
a struggle ensued between him and the
negro in the house. Both had hold of
the AK when they came out of the door,
and they triphed and fell. The negro
then wrenched the AK from Ford, and
uplifting it, struck him as he lay pros>
trato fearful blow upon the back of
the head with the handle of the AK,
cutting cash two-and>a>half inches
long. The negro was arrested and
committed to Jail. The unconsciou,
Mr.. +. was carried to Mrs. Lewis near
by, and died at two o'clock, being con.
scious sometime before he di ed.

The CoTroN TAx.-The question
of rebate of the cotton tax levied dur
ing the year 1865, 1866, and 1867,
will come before Congress during the
present session. 1t will undoubtedly
pass, having been levied in an uncon>
stitutional manner, and will restore to
the South millions of money if it falls
into the proper hands. We lately had
a conversation with Mr., Guion, of
Memphis, (known TO our citizens dur.
ing the war as collector Of internal rev.
enue in the Trans-Mississippi Depart
ment,) who has been working for the
accomplishment of this end for some
years, and he was almost certain that
this tax would be refunded to the peo,
pie. We advise all who have claims
to hold them and not.dispose Of their
rights for mere song to spectators
who are advised Of the state Of affairs.
The Picayune of the 23d thus alludes
to the matter:
II is thought that the memorial be-
fore Congress from the New Orleans
Chamber Of Commerce. asking for leg
islative action authorizing the return
of the cotton tax, will be compile
with. The memorial has been refer
red TO the Committee of Ways and
Means. The unconstitutionality of
the tax is generally admitted, in as
much as it was levied exclusively upon
one section of the country, and made
an invidious distinction regarding its
chief staple. The only fear that Con-
gress will refuse the application, arises
from the enormous sum which, in case
such law were passed, the Treasury
would have to refund. The tax was
collected from 1865 to 1867 inclusive.
So far no specific claims have been
filed by planters for money so paid; but
spectators are already busy in West
Tennessee and other Southern States
in buying from claimants for trifling
sums assignments of the claims TO the
tax paid by them. A Memphis firm
holds assignments for over 81 900, 900,
it is said The amount of the cotton
tax collected will exceed 500, 100000
South Western.

The following is an extract from the
New York correspondence of the Little
Rock Gazette of the 4th inst:
Our friends of the commune" had
their parade last Sunday week. The
streets were thronged TO see them,
almost as at the reception Of Alexis.
They numbered about 5000, and pre-
sented rather seedy appearance. The
catafalque was itself cheap affair.
Some hard featured ladies reminding
one of the riuandieres found among
federal prisoners during the "rebel-
lion," escorted it, bearing flags. The
youthful Cuban (?) patriot, Col. Ryan,
with jaunty slouch hat, and the Irish
"liberator," ODonovan Rosa, in a
"plug" came close after, in an open
carriage. Those charming mesdames,
Woodruff and Clahin, also followed,
in a Clarence" A pretty blonde
Cuban exile, | SUPPOSE rode along
in an open brett, and waved a pretty
hand to acquaintances among the spec
tators. A squad of "colored troops"
marched "nobly" at the head of the
column. The mahogany faces of sew
eral delicate,looking Cubans filed a
space. The others were lantern
faced, SCARED and unkempt company
of all nations, but proud of their red
ribbons, and pleased with the interest
they excited. Freedom in all things"
and can things in common" were the
notices they bore and were well suited
TO illustrate.

Jerry Haney, the barber, is still at his
old stand, not complicated with any
partnership, or any such thing. He
has long since thrown away his carpet
bag, bought him home in our own

profession, and wants to make his living
that way. He keeps sharp razors and
clean towels, and will be found at his
shop every day until 8 o'clock in the
evening. He does not like to work OH

his customers, he will be at the shop
from sunrise until 10 o'clock on that
day. lie intends to keep an orderly
and quiet place, and guarantees satis-
faction to his customers.

At Marshall, T',xas, recently, Mr..
j. IL. Van Hook, Democratic candi>
date for CHEZ justice, was thrown into
jail by ',rder of one Stephens, the
mayo, for refusal to pay corporation
u xes. The cause of the refusal was
that the pretended collector had given
no bond. Commenting upon this af,
fair, the Shreveport South Western
says
1t may be some time yet before a
turn takes place, but that it will come
is certainty, and then tn Q reckoning.
A private citizen incarcerated because
of corporate debt is something be-
yond even the ordinary role of tyranny
in this country, and should make the
leaders of even the Republican party
blush when they speak of constitutional
right. If the facts are as we hear
them stated this has been a mos; wan,
ton outrage, which the people of all
shades and parties should lose no time
in taking measures TO resent.

CLAiTcN.-The New York Sun is
anxious to know what the radicals will
do with Clayton. 1t says:
ltappears probable that Gen Grants
friend, Clayton of Arkansas, may be
expelled from the senate for his scans
dalous conduct while governor of that
state. AtIidavits have been filed with
the senate Judiciary committee from
the secretary of state and others in Ar
kansas, charging Clayton with falsi>
hcation Of record in certifying that
John Edwards, a democrat, was elects
ed to congress, when his competitor
a republican, was legally chosen. 1t
Is said that the judiciary committee
has had two meetings on the case, and
will resume its consideration immedi.
ately after the holiday recess.
What makes this case particularly
interesting is the fact that Clayton was
indicted by grand jury, of whom
majority were republicans, for his vio,
lation of law in regard to this matter,
and that President Grant removed a
United States marshal and district
attorney from office because they were
instrumental in the endeavor to bring
Clayton to justice.
1t remains to be seen whether a re.
publican senate committee will have
the courage TO rebuke Grant for his
extraordinary championship of re-
publican governor. who used his posi-,
ton to defraud the republicans out Of
a representative to congress, in order
to secure the aid of democrats in his
own aspirations for seat in the senate.

TIE SOUTHERN PACIFIC - The
Washington Correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune says: "There Is great
row in the councils of the several
Southern Pacific railroads. Every
body supposed and hoped, last season.
that this business was done and that
the short and torrid route to San DIE
90 and Mexico was at last in the hands
of a practical business man, who meant
to build it. 1t now appears that the road
is lowhere. Marshall o. Roberts and
Tom Scott have fallen out about 1t,
Roberts wished to build a road legih>
mately, and having a high admiration
of SCOTS executive ability, he arran>
ged to give him nearly one>half Of the
whole number of directors of the road,
namely seventeen. Roberts kept Nine
directors and gave Scott eight, but
he did not know his man, for Scott
instantly purchased two of Roberts
directors, and, when they met together,
Roberts found that Scott was the mas
ter-spirit. Scott has acted as if he
does not wish to see a road built, un-
less he could manipulate the bonds,
and make a large sum of money before
spike was driven. In order to dis
gust Roberts entirely, he proposed
that the road should be built with q
three,foot gauge, while Roberts and
his party have always designed tc
build it gauge of four feet zen inches.
Roberts fell out at once with Scott,
and said that the road should never
be built on any such street>passenger'
principles The thing is therefore g
draw. Do yoI know how much mon.
ey is required to be put up in thes'
vast railway schemes ? This road, +,
which has been bequellhed lens 0
thousands of acres If lanl-an empire
in facts actually managed by thre
persons Roberts, Scott and Fremon
-S.nd by an association of smalle
spirits, who own one-fourth' All the
stock Scott had to take was $50, ,0Ol
worth, and he paid up only ten pc
cent. on this. Each OF the other ele
ments also took $4,000 worth of tn
stock, and paid ten per cent. Thi
100000 was paid down as the pric
ofan empire, cheaper sum than wa
paid to the Indians for the State 0
Pennsylvania-Penn acting, of course
on high notions of honesty, such a
Mr.. Vincent Colyer keeps up to thi
day. What wonder, then, that hun
dreds of men assemble around tn
doors OF congress and demand to g
into the railroad business, when, witt
10000 put down, they can get bel
of land from forty to sixty miles wide
reaching from Red river to the Pacific
or nearly 1000 miles ?"
