OUR immaculate administration is
unfortunate in its pets-the red and
the black man-who, likes poiled child
rem, the more they are petted, the
more trouble they bring upon the
household. The petted red men, not
without cause, have become so REBEL
ious, that their great father, at Wash
ington. has decreed their extermina-
ton, a threat more easily made than
executed. And the probabilities are
that, by the time the last red man is
exterminated, a similar fate may be in
reserve for the black pet

HOW CAM LEAVE THEE.

An erroneous impression prevails
that l am about to give up tn 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 /

many year, Providence permitting.

Mr.. Harry c. Norman, who for many
years has had charge of the leading
Gallery of Louisville. Mr.. Norman
besides being thorough Photograph

THE Supreme Court at Jackson, last
week, rendered very important decis-
ion in a case from the 18th Circuit
Heretofore it has been accepted as law
that where payment had been made
upon note, such payment took the in
strument out of the statute of limita-
tons. According to the late decision,
no note can now be collected after six
years, on the ground that partial pay
ment has been made. The payment is
to be considered as an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
pro tanto and not for the entire debt.

Mr.. HOBBS, the Comptroller elected
by the last Legislature, has resigned in
consequence of i'll health, and the Gov
ernor has appointed Col. Burch, editor
of the Union & American, to fill the
vacancy. As a matter of course, the
discontendedwil grumble and find fault
with the appointment, knowing nothing
of the appointee. Personally we have
but little acquaintance with the pres
ent incumbent, but what We know Of
him from report, and familiarity with
the tone of his paper, we are satisfied
that he is altogether competent to dis
charge the duties of the responsible
position.

Strange! Very Strange!

others who do not avail themselves
of the great advantages he is contin-

less than cost. and always offering
bargains of some kind. A familiar
and thorough acquaintance with his
stock is valuable to any customer.

Tax Assessments.
The Comptroller has issued the fol
ing circular:
CONPTROLLER'S OFFICE.
Yours truly,
II. 7. NJ.

The Comptroller has issued the FOL
ing circular
COMPTROLLER OFFICE,
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May l, 1873.
SIR send you herewith the sched-
ules for tax returns and assessments,
required, under section 81 of the asses
ment law, to be furnished by me to
each Assessor through the County
Court Clerks of the several counties.
Asynopsis of the act, carefully pre-
pared under the advice and sanction
of the Acknowledgement, is printed on
each schedule. 1t is the duty of each
Assessor to place one of these sched-
ules in the hands of every taxpayer,
and require from him return of the
same made out in full, according to
the provisions of the act.
There are many citizens of the State
who are not liable to anything more
than a poll-tax, having no real estate,
and personal property of less than 81
900 in value. These parties must.
however, be reported for all poll-tax.
The delay in the preparation of
the schedules will, necessarily, cause
the Assessor to be pressed for time in
making the assessment, but this must
not result in a hasty, imperfect state
ment. a proper, and full and fair as
sessment, is of far more importance
than a prompt one, imperiectly or
carelessly made. | hope, however,
there will be no unnecessary delay in
making the assessment returns.
Annexed you will find receipt for
blanks. one of which you will return
to me, properly filled up. The others
you can use in distributing the blanks
to the Assessors of the several dis
tricts.
Under Assessment law, the Tax Col
lector collects the ad valorem tax up
on merchants, while the County Court
Clerks collect the privilege taxes in
all cases.
Respectfully,
JOHN &. BURcH, Comptroller.

A SERIOUS DISASTER.
Forty Persons Wounded by the Acct.
dent on the Louisville and
st. Louis Railroad.

Especial Dispatch to the Courier-Journal.l
PRINCETON, IND, May 4.-The rail
road accident of which l dispatched
you last night has proved to be of a
more serious nature than at first sup
posed. An excursion train left this
place at o'clock last night on the
Louisville, New Albany and st. Louis
railroad for Mt Carmel, ILL.,, to attend
a concert There being no turning ia
BILE at this place, it was necessary to
back the train. Henry T. Gaines, con-
ductor, was standing on the back part
of the train, to signal if necessary.
A number of COWS ran suddenly on
the track in front of the train. The
signal was given, but before the train
could be stopped, the cars were plung-
ed over an embankment eight feet,
standing at the foot bottom upward
The passengers were thrown violently
upon their heads, the seats falling upon
them. The stoves and a safe were
turned over and great confusion ensued.
The cries of the wounded and calls for
friends were lamentable in the extreme.
As the train went over, Conductor
Haines leaped from the platform into
a ditch containing water four feet
deep. He at once went to the rescue
of the passengers, and by breaking the
glass in the doors succeeded in extri-
eating them. Nc one was killed, but
several of the wounded may die. There
were about seventy-fve persons on the
train.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

The out-giyings of some Of the In
depedent organs, plainly indicate that
Andy johnson is the coming man for
the next Governor of Tennessee. The
acknowledgement trap of last year,
caught many unworthy conservatives,
and if the trap was not set by Andy,
he sanctioned the trick and, as leader,
headed the malcontents, whose partial
success in opening the way for the re-
turn to power, of the Radical party,
suggests another effort to divide and
conquer Conservatism, through the
agency of opposition to the funding
bill. With the negro vote as unit
against the conservative party, the
originators of this foul plot, know
that the strength they will gain by our
divisions, will ensure success, especi-
ally when it is remembered that many
converts from the Democratic party,
will be won over to their former trusted,
but treacherous party apostle. But
when was he a Democrat? Only when
and so long as, he could make the par
ty subserye the ends of his ambition.
When the tocsin Of war was sounded
and the disruption of old parties be-
come inevitable, did he cling to the
democratic South, or did he turn his
back upon his own section and people
and become the willing tool Of the
Radical North? History has already
answered that question. Was he a
/ Democrat when, as Military Governor
he ground the people of Tennessee
under the iron heel of wanton des-
potism, and insulted whilst he oppres
sed them? Was he Democrat when
as President, he overturned State gov
ernments, in the South, and subjected
its people to the depredations, malig
nant tyranny and devlish insults o
officials selected from the prisons anC
Radical cesspools of the North? Wa
he Democrat when he ignored thu
convention of the party with which h
professed to act and labored long an,
hard to seduce from it, recruits 70
Radicalism? At heart, he never wa
a true Democrat and his prompt aband
onment of its party and its principle
verifes> the assertion. Nature fash
toned him for heartless tyrant, an,
wrote its purpose upon his face, an,
when circumstance favored, he ha
never failed to act up to his native in
stinets. As Radical President an
even when at war with Radical Con
gress, he did not relax his grip upo
the threats of the southern peopl
E whom he has cordially hated, since h
, betrayed them; but whose rights IN
, der the Constitution, he ostentatiousl
defended, in malignant mockery. TIL
defense was for Buncombe; the grIl
to make treason odious. He vie
with statesmen and patriots in ez
pounding the principles of the Coz
: stitution even when that instrumen
torn by his own hands, was beiu
trampled under his own feet.
