Transporting Stock.


The Tu1J, Field aad Farm says /:
Our manner of transporting live an
imals is so fiendish as to call for
prompt reform; and without the
real facts are presented for the con-
sideration of the people, there will
be no change for the better. In the
year 1872 there arrived at the seven
cities-Washington, Baltimore. Phil
adelphia. New York, Albany. Provi-
dence, and Boston,, 000,324 cattle
1882 49 sheep. and 1866, 446 hogs.
Estimating the average weight of
cattle at 200 pounds, and the loss
incurred by death in the starving,
smothering process of transporta-
ton at 10 per cent, we have a clear
sacrifice of 40. O38, $50 pounds of
beef. Placing the shrinkage on hogs
and sheep at Is pounds per head,
we find that the loss on 2.932,149
sheep amounts to 43, 982, 235 pounds;
and the loss on 3,465, 446 hogs is
51.981,690 pounds. Aside from this
we must bear in mind that a very
large per cent. of the cattle. hogs
and sheep slaughtered are absolute
ly unfit to go into the human stom-
ach. The reclllessness and brutality
of butchers and drovers have become
proverbial, while the residents of
large cities are too hot in the chase
for dollars to stop to see or consider
the quality of the meat and bread
which they daily consume. Stock
ought to be better quartered in cars,
better fed, watered, and better treat
ed in every way, on their long jour
ney from the Mississippi valley to
the Atlantic cities. This done, they
will gain in flesh and value on the
road, in place of being injured.

The Treasury Department now
holds, under a recent ruling, that
supervisors Of internal revenue may
receive, in addition to their salary
of $4,000 fixed by law, their board
bills at their headquarters, when al
lowed and approved by the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue. The
question originated in the case of
Supervisor Hawley, whose home is
at Buffalo, while his Office is in New
York city. So that supervisors who
have to board away from home will
hereafter have their board bills paid
by that accommodating relative,
Uncle Sam.

Suit for Heavy Damages.

The executor Of S. b. Davidson,
who was run over and killed a short
time ago on the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st. Louis Railroad. has
sued the Company, alleging DANA
ges at the round sum of $4,000.
We believe it was stated at the time
of the accident, that the unfortunate
gentleman was in his buggy, on his
way to his home a few miles from
the city, and attempted to cross the
railroad in front of moving train.

The spirit of the State Convention
of the colored men Of Ohio, the other
day at Chillicothe, was ominously
insubordinate to Republican author
ity and ownership, while the tone of
the speeches and resolutions indi-
Gated decided preference for the
Republican party, they mean that
the colored voters are not to be con
sidered as belonging to the Republi-
can party. and that fair division Of
office and spells is to be expected in
future. This movement of the col
ored troops adds another complica-
ton to the mysterious uncertainty
of the political future.

The Mexican Border.

Letters received at Washington
from the Rio Grande frontier con-
tinue to utter complaints of the
reign of terror which prevails there.
Men, women, and children are muir
dered or carried into captivity, and
the property Of the settlers is stolen
or destroyed. It has been shown
conclusively that these depredations
are committed by bands Of Mexicans
or gangs in Mexico, and that these
operations are conducted under the
direction or connivance of the Mex
lean Governors Cortina and Costa
les. The United States troops are
entirely inadequate to patrol and
protect the extensive boundary
The general uneasiness among the
Indians on the Western borders rem
ders it impossible to reduce the mil
itary force in that region in order to
strengthen the forts on the Rio
Grande.

Massachusetts.

The Republican State Convention
is appointed to meet on the 10th of
September. Benz. F. Butler is said
to be laboring with might and main
to secure the nomination for Cover
nor. Unless greatly misrepresent-
ed and slandered. he is the wickedest
and most inscriptions politician of
the period, and it is to be hoped
that he will not succeed in his efforts
to secure tie chief magistracy of the
State. Massachusetts may deserve
humiliation, but nothing like that.

Fearful Steamboat Accident.

The steamer George c., Wolf ex-
ploded her boilers Friday before last,
on the Mississippi river, just above
the mouth of the St. Francis river.
The details are fearful Fifteen
persons were lost. and others serious
ly injured. The accident is attributed
to the careIessness of the second en-
gineer. who was on duty at the time
and paid the penalty with his life.
Some Of the victims were blown
sixty feet into the air, coming down
into the river among the debris and
falling timber from the wreck.

Tennessee Politics.

We find The following plain and
sensible language in the Memphis
Register: The q1eid names are al
ready agitating the question as to
who is to be the next Governor elect
of Tennessee, and in this connection
the plans suggested for beating the
Radicals are various. To US there
appears but one way to defeat them,
and it is the only way, not only in
| Tennessee. but in all the States.
Let the Democratic party meet in
convention, nominate good men for
Office, unfurl the old banner to the
breeze, and make a square fight on
principle. Avoid fusions and coali-
tions, bargains and intrigues, and let
every man rally under that banner
who desires the defeat of Radicalism
and the downfall of the doctrine Of
consolidation. The Democracy has
a clear majority in Tennessee Of forty
thousand votes, and it will be I'M
pardonahle folly for us to listen to
fusion and other propositions which
can but demoralize both the rank
and file Of our forces. The new de-
parture, fusion and coalition ideas in
politics, are tricks of the enemy, to
weaken our line. If there ever was
a time when the opponents of Radi-
caliom in Tennessee should march
to the polls, shoulder to shoulder, in
solid phalaux, and deposit their bal
lots, it is in the next State elections.
Listen not the proposition of chang
ing the name of the party it is one
Of the tricks of the enemy to divide |
us. When it is known that the con-
test for the supremacy is between |
the Radical party on the one hand |
and the Democratic party on the
other, there is no doubt but every /
true conservative voter in the State I
will cast his ballot with US. The
people of this State can't afford to
let the Radical party obtain the SUI
premacy even for one term, for they
can bankrupt the State and put such
a man as Maynard in the Senate of
the United States, or elect Parson
Brownlow. It is no time to chafe
and dispute about party names. We
find but two party organizations ii
the State-the Democratic and the
and it will, i'll our opinion,
be unwise to change or modify names.
A good general never undertakes to
his army in the face of the
enemy's broadsides but, on the con-
Jrary, gives the order to forward first,
and then charge in q solid lie in
the next fight, or be routed as we
we're in the Cheatham. Johnson and
Maynard fight. Let the Radicals
and their allies call us by what
name they may chOOse-Bourbon,
fogy, or what not-while we are con-
5cious Of standing upon a platform
Of principles which are in keeping
with the doctrines and spirit of the
which our forefathers
made, we can afford to look neither
to the right nor the left in our on
ward march to the victory. If to
be Bourbon means to be opposi-
ton to consolidation and corruption,
10 the interference by the Federal
government in the internal affairs Of
-he States, as in Louisiana, to Credit
NIobilier and back-pay-salary grab
then call us Bourbon. and
we can glory in acknowledging the
Of the appellation.

Killed by Lightning.

The Bristol Courier of the 10Th
says: ION Tuesday evening this
section was swept by heavy thun-
der-storm. Miss Dolly Trammell,
aged about 18 years, daughter of Mr..
jackson Trammell, who lives near
the Catholic church in Goodson,
was struck by bolt of lightning
and instantly killed. The lightning
struck a corner of the house. knocking
off shingles, plastering and weather
boarding. and followed the house,
thence the spouting to the cistern,
where the young lady was engaged
in fixing a barrel to catch water.
The charge struck her face and
breast, tearing and burning the most
of her clothing off Of her. 1t also
killed two dogs, one at the cistern
the other, on the opposite side OF
the house"

The Jasper Sun wants a narrow

Sequatchie Valley to Pikeville, and
says the three counties of Bledsoe,

vote sufficient to grade the road
throughout each county.

Day by day the Farmers Oranges
are gathering strength. We are
still told that they are organized
simply to redress local grievances,
and have no political significance.
In the meanwhile, by curious con-

they will either form the nucleus of
party. or will gravitate to one of
the two great political parties now
confronting each other.

CURLING THE TEMPER.-Both a phi
losophy and moral may be found in
the following, which we heard fall from
the lips Of the very learned Rev. DIR.
Schaf, of this city. 1t was at meet
ing of ministers OF the Reformed Church
gathered in the lecture-room of the
church which until recently stood at the
corner of William and Fulton streets.
There was running discussion on the
delicate point how far We might Judge
mans piety. The learned divine took
very sensible ground, viz, that a large
margin of charity should be gwen, as
some men, because of difference of con-
stitutional temperament, might do things
that In them would be less sinful than
than 10 Others more favorably constitn-
ted. lie said that certain minister of
the Reformed Church was presiding at
a meeting of the consistory of mis- church.
when one Of the officers considered II
his duty to differ from his minister OH a
point Of church polity. The pastor at
this lost bis head, and advancing to the
elder delivered himself in violent Lam
guage, whereat another elder ventured a
remonstrance:
Dominic, you should restrain your
temperI'
Restrain my temper reiterated the
old man. I'D have you know, Sir
that restrain more temper in five min.
utes than you do in five years. - Har
