There are threatening signs in the
West; a secret order Of semi-mihtary
character, said already to number nearly
three hundred thousand members, is orr
ganizing in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and
other Western States, under the name of
the League of Justice" The objects of
this order are the Reputation OF the rail
road bonds issued by counties, towns
and cities throughout the West, and the
seizure as public domain, of the lands
that have boon granted TO corporations by
Congress and a common division of them
among the people.
The members of the order are said to
be armed, and their motive Is justice for
the people, peaeeably if possible, but
fJrcibly if necessary. They claim that
the lands belonged to the people, and
were and are the heritage of the working
men, and that they never authorized
their Teprese natives in Congress to deed
them away to vast and rich mOnOpOlies.
We think, says the Shreveport Times,
from what we have read and from the
existence of causes likely to lead to the
formation of such a society, that some
such organization does exist The pre-
valance Of crime and corruption have
reached such an extent that it seems i'm
possible society should much avoid one
of these fierce and bloody commissions
which inevitably result from the prevail
ance Of corruption in public Offices the
lowering of the moral tone of society,
and the organization of gigantic monoPo-
lies at the expense of the working classes.
We have watched during the last few
years, the rapid growth of these evils,
but hoped that the people would rise SUI
perior to them, that there was a correcs
tive force in the free press and the diau-
sion Of intelligence that would restore
the tone Of society, and sweep cOrTup'
tionists and monopolies from the face of
the earth. We begin to fear, however,
that we have hoped in vain, and that the
vice and villainy and wrong that stalk in
the high places of the land and haunt
their splendors in the midday sun, must
yet result in one of those terrible up
heavals of the people which. in purify
ing the moral atmosphere, and readjest>
ing the relations of capital and labor,
have left the bloody traces on the pages
of the history of mankind. The League
Of Justice may or may not be a reality,
but as certain as effect follows cause, the
cOnvulsion will come sooner or later, I'M
less an adequate effort is soon made to
check the progress of the political and
economic evils that are weighinglike an
incubus upon the country.

taxed at a much higher rate than would
be necessary had she only to pay her
proper proportion Of the State expenses
To illustrate, East Tennessee, paying the
least amOant BY very considerable sum,
has in thirty.one cOuaties in which the
courts and necessary officers sre kept 90,
while West TenRessee, has only nineteen
Crockett not then having been formed
and paying nearly as much as Middle
Tennessee with thirty five counties, and
the comparison presnts much greater
contrast even than this when We lock to
the school fund, which we pay in the
same proportion. We paid near $12, 900,
more than double what East Tenness ee
did, in lS72-which was, in East Ten
nessee, in property tax, 2l5,375 80, and
privilege tax S., 46l 81 making 27I, 927
II; in West Tennessee property tax,
30l 678 10, and privileges I62,75S %,
making 554, 437 4S, while tn eY get more
from school fund than we do.
In the North ives tern States the school
tax is about two per cent on the 800,
and the people of this State seem to be
going 10 the same direction. Had our
school tax in 1879 have been two per
cent, West Tennessee would have paid
on that account S2,782, 157 80 and East
Tennessee only 1853, 585 IS; West Ten
nessee, therefore paying over one million
dollars more than that Division, and yet
because their scholastic population is
greater than ours, they would receive out
of that fund near a million more than we
would, difference Of something like two
million Of dollars to Us.
In other words we would have paid
more than q million of dollars into East
Tennessee-she keeping all which she
paid-for the schooling of her children,
and as Middle and East Tennessee al
ways have controlled the State Govern
ment, it is but reasonable to suppose that
the same thing will continue, and if it
does may we not look for this increase in
the school tax.
We have and will continue to increase
more rapidly than the other portions of
the State, and a calculation demonstrates
that we could assume our part of the
State debt and pay it off much easier by
ourselves than with the whole State to-
gether.
Hence the establishment Of the new
State will not add cent to the taxes now
borne by West Tennessee, but will de-
erese them We present these facts be-
cause.-the idea of increased tax is the only
argument we have yet heard against the
new State.

late, however. McCluskey's finger was
already on the trigger and his eye along
the sights, and when his adVersarys body
reached the earth It was heavier by a
Colts pistol ball A scream of pain foI~
lowed and the spectators saw the figure
of man clutehing wildly with his hands
at the grass and writing and twisting il
horrible cOut0rtiCDs. The bullet had
struck him full in the abdomen and like
his antagonist, Anderson was now fast
dying man.
at this iuncture it seemed as If the
crowd would interfere, but Harding sterns
~ babe them keep back and leave the
men to settle the matter in their own
| gay. As none cared to dispute with the
| gigantic hunter, the mandate was Obeyed,
| though a universal expression Of horror
ran through the spectators, number Of
| whom were the engineers and attaches of
our own party. Still, horrible as was the
scene, no one thought of leaving the spot.
| An irresistible fascination TO see It out
| bound one and all alike to to the blood
stained locality. But the finale was at
| hand-the curtain almost ready to drop.
| McCluskey, summoniDg by a supreme
! effort his remaining strength, drew his
knife and began to crawl feebly in the
direction of his antagonist The latter,
/ who had raised himself to a sitting pos
tuFe, saw the movement and prepared to
meet it. Both had dropped their revolt
! Vers, leaving to the cold steel the COM
pletiOn of the work.
By this time it bad grown quite dark,
| and to distinguish the movements Of the
combatants required the closest attention.
| Anderson was clearly unable to move any
! e ho1- -.~Lk
| With this he raised his knife alOft, and as
/ dealt him a terrible blow in the neck,
cutting muscles and tendons and veins,
and half severing the head from the BODY
| THE LAST EFFORT.
But the effort was too much for him,
and leaving the weapon sticking In the
wound, he pitched heavily forward on his
face. Every one supposed that this blow
| would have instantly killed MeCluskey,
but, strange to say, il did not, for so great
| was his vitality that before falling he
twice plunged his own knife into the
| body of Anderson. The tale is soon told.
| McCluskey lived a minute longer than
his antagonist The dead bodies, firmly
locked in each others embrace, were tax
en- to the house Of Harding and laid out
side by side on the gaming table. a
crimson trail marked the path of those
who carried them indoors, and pools of
blood indicated the scene of the late con
fict
There was no gaming that night. The
hunters and Indians appeared to find ex-
element enough IN talking over the events
of the day without having to resort to
their usual pastime. About ii O'Clock
the moon rose, and the bodies were taken
out for burial There were no funeral
ceremonies, but Job Harding remarked
as the muf1ed forms were lowered into
the grave. "There goes two as brave mer
as ever lived" They were buried deer
to keep the wolves and coyotes from dig
ging them up, and the earth was heapeC
up in little mound to mark where they
slept.

has only been useful to those superior
