LETTER FROM ASHLAND CITY.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Having just
returned after brief absence, | found
the ever welcome CHRONICLE awaiting
me, in which is a communication over
the nom de plume of "Silverthorn, F" in
which the writer INDUCES in some
rather harsh remarks about, and ex-
tends some not very kind invitations
to Anon" to whom we say, 'let the
CALLED jade vince, our withers are I'M
wrung."
He admits the difficulty, and there
fore there can be no question about
that; but charges Anon" with lam
entable ignorance or willful misstate-
ment of facts Anon" was not pres
ent, and therefore does not speak from
the book; but derived his information
from conversations with the sheriff and
those who were Immediately concerned
in the affair, all of which we believed
to be true at the time, and so assert the
fact to be now. The statements of any
one of the parties concerned we would
receive in preference to those of a man
who shows himself to be so ungrateful
as to indirectly east an imputation up
those who came to his relief when his
conduct showed him to beincapable of
helping himself. We make this re-
mark because "Silverthorn" knewwh
he penned his article that none of the
young men who helped him out of his
unenviable situation occupied the po-
sition that in a conversation in the
hearing of one of the actors in the
drama he assumed that Anon" occu-
pied, and as he knew he was not pres
ent, he must have derived his informa-
ton from the parties themselves. We
will state for the information of 'Sil-
verthorn,n that while our article was
yet in the manuscript, it was submitted
to the inspection of one of the actors
for his opinion as to its correctness,
and after careful reading he pro-
nOunced it to be a correct statement of
the affair, and while it did not propose
to detail everything that was said and
done, yet it was true in every word
The communication might truthfully
have gone further, and stated that after
the man and brother was taken off the
boat, one of the officers, and We opine
this same Knight of the trenchant
blade, "Silverthorn a spanked
baby, asked the young men not to let
the negro "abuse us, but knock him
down, or kill him, and we will foot the
bill" And yet. this valiant knight,
with a whole boat crew to back him,
extends to Anon" such Boosting in
vitation. Now don't that sound brave.
and don't you often bite your finger to
assure yourself that you are the knight
that torit it, and the gallant fellow that
didn't go with the boys to hunt the big
niger but remained out of harm S
way?
1t is not our purpose to intention
ally wrong any one, and all We ask of
'Silverthorn" is to point out our mis-

HOW CAN l LEAVE THEE.

An erroneous impression prevails
that ! am about to give up th PHoTo-
GRAPHIC business in this city. The
object of these few lines is to inform
the public generally that the above
impression is premature, and that /
will continue to hover around for
many year. Providence permitting.
l take pleasure in informing the pub
lie that l have secured the services of
Mr.. Harry C. Norman, who for many
years has had charge of the leading
Gallery of Louisville. Mr.. Norman
besides being thorough Photograph
er and fully up to the times in every
improvement in that department, is
also an educated Colorist. The ladies
can now have their cards richly col
ored without additional charge should
they desire it.
In conclusion, my arrangements are
now completed to make the FINEST and
cheapest work ever made in this city.
Yours truly,
W. A. McGILL.

g treat Diseredit.n

The New York Evening Post, which
gave Grant an earnest and able support
in the late Presidential election, says !:
Gen. Grant is not a quick witted
man, butt is marvellous thateven he did
not see how great chance for achiev-
ing an almost unbounded popularity
Congress gave him in raising his and
their own salaries. 1t was simply his
duty to sign bill that contained a
provision so disgraceful and SO dishon-
est as that which a gratuity of s 900
out of the United States treasury to
the members of Congress just going
out of existence. Had he refused his
sanction to it, and given notice that he
should call the new Congress together
to pass new appropriation bill, he
would have done himself infinite cred
it. He took the other course-we are
sincerely to sorry say-to his great dis
credit"

IT is perhaps, unfair tocondemn the
the strikers of the Trades Union. since
they have Enforcement Of every de-
pertinent of the government, so far as
doing likewise is an endorsement. The
Executors and Congress not onlystruck
for wages, but for second payment of
wages already paid according to con-
tract. There is only this difference
between the two classes of strikers
the laborers concentrated capital to
contend against, the official strikers
have to contend only with conscience
hardened by habitual plunderingof the
peoples treasury. With power to rob,
they robbed. With no higher law to
which they are amenable, they babe
conscience be quiet and pocketed the
money with all the grace of honest
men.

Construction Of the Assessment Law,
CoMPrRoLLER's OFFICE,


To the County Court Clerk Of County
SRA circular letter issued from
this office May /, says: under the as
sessment law the Tax Collector col
lects the ad vaIOrens tax upon merch-
ants, while the County Court Clerks
collect the privilege taxes in all cases.
From thorough examination of the
law, | am satisfied that this construc-
ton is erroneous. | am satisfied that,
under the law, it is the duty of the
County Court Clerk to assess and
collect the ad rdlorem tax auction and
commission, and all other merchants,
as was provided by law before the pas
sage of the present assessment law.
In confirmation of this, l have the
opinion of the Attorney General, who
telegraphs me as follows:
" There is some contradiction in the
act. The 22nd section settled it by re-
ference to the former law, that the Clerk
collects adj ualoren and privilege tax. "
The Assessor, therefore, does not
fill out the blanks in the second and
third heads of the schedules forward
ed from this Office relating to merch-
ants and merchandise.

Strange! Very Strange !

That though so many hundreds OF
people have given their testimony in
favor of the superiority OF the stocks
kept by b. +. Coulter, yet there are
others who do not avail themselves
of the great advantages he is contin-
ually offering. He is constantly sell
ing some articles at COST, and often
less than cost, and always offering
bargains of some kind. A familiar
and thorough acquaintance with his
stock is valuable to any customer.
Reader, don't let anything keep you
from buying your supplies where you
have the best stock to select FROM
Take for instance, Black Cloths and
Cassimers and Suitings. How many
men are real judges? Very few
Then if you want to get the full value
of your money, go where the best
stocks are kept. The goods sold by

He has dealt in them for years and
knows they will give satisfaction. In
addition to the superiority of the
goods, he is offering them ut very re-
dueed rates this season.

SCHOOL Misunderstanding to
the school law in Tennessee we have
the interest on $2,512, 800, which at
six per cent, amounts annually to
S150,750. The law in the next place
assesses a tax of one dollar on each
poll in the State subject to taxation.
In 1870 the census reported 264, 600
voters. After making an allowance
for exemptions and non-collections, it
is safe to assume that we will realize
from this source not less than $50, 600.
From the State, then, we will have
$500, 600 in round numbers to be dis
tributed annually. 1.-THE counties will
Supplement- this sum by a liberal tax We
shall have very respectable school
fund in every country in the State
Jonesboro Herald and Tribute.
LET person begin life by lodging,
and he must run gauntlet to the end,
as rule. Let him face the world
squarely, and if his success in over
coming is slow, depend upon it, it will
be sure.

Accommodating Troops Suddenly
P0unced ON and Several Killed
and WAHnded.

Accommodating Troops Suddenly
Pounced on and Several Killed
and Wounded.
New York, May 13.-Dispatches
from San Francisco of the 18th, state
that couriers from the lava beds bring
news that Captain Hasbrouk's COM
mand was attacked by party of Mo-
docs, and four soldiers and one Warm
Spring Indian were killed, and six sol
diers and one Warm Spring Indian
wounded. The attack was sudden,
and the troops were taken completely
BY surprise. After the first fire of the
Modocs, Captain Hasbrouck rallied
his men, and charged. The Modocs
retreated into the woods, scattering in
all directions. Several volleys were
fired upon them, but it is not known
whether any were killed. The troops
captured twenty-five horses belonging
to the Modocs. Captain Hasbrouck
also captured six boxes of carbine
cartridges, which had been captured
by the Indians short time ago while
being sent to the front.
THIRTY-THREE MoDocs
were in the fight, commanded by Cap
tain Jack wearing the uniform of Gen.
Candy. When the last courier left
Gen. Davis camp, the troops were be-
tween the lava beds and the Modocs,
who were entirely out of their lava
stronghold. The artillery will be
moved to the side of the lake to pre-
vent the Modoes returning to the lava
beds, and the balance of the troops
will Immediately follow and extermi-
nate them.

GRANT may congratulate himself on
his patriotism and craftsmanship, since
he has performed the same wonders
in the government of Louisiana, that
were accomplished by johnson and
Brownlow in Tennessee. He may con-
graduate himself further, that the
same villainy otlis subordinates which
forced the Modocs to arms in self-de-
defense worked like charm in Loui-
siana, where resistance gave the same
pretext for armed invasion and all the
consequence that followed the march
of military despotism.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1873-05-17

CAPT. JACK has again surprised the
federal troops and defeated them with
small loss on either side. 1t is claim
ed however. that the whites rallied and
drove the Modocs into the woods and
away from the lava beds. This is to
be doubted, as it is not in character
with Capt. Jack to leave his strong
hold, to fight unless he could retreat to
stronger. He has so often been
driven by kilograms, that we doubt
whether he drives worth a cent"
