IN the bouny Scottish Highlands,
Alta manse | was guest,
All the land flush OF heather,
Glowing, sweet, the summer weather
Y Fllling me with balm and rest. ~4a
Seven precious little children
Made a heaven of the manse.
With their coSxingS, loves, and kisses,
Tiny ecstscieS and blisses.
Ever circiug in . dance.
Jessie was my dove, my darling;
Oh, she came from elfn land
With her eyes OF starry spendor,
Rosy mouth, SO swees and tender, ,,... ..aa-. -
Little queen OF all the band.
To the kirk upon the Sunday
Jessie took me o'eI The lea; y
Soon, her golden head low bending,
Soft she whispered, NOV descending, elg

Then she said, her eyes upliftei,
~ Bright with the momentous news, G
"My papa it is who breaches.

why DOn.t Kellogg Propose.

New YORK, May ia Washing
ton dispatch to the Tribune says the
administration is unable to understand
why Kellogg does not make requisitiOn
for federal troops. As soon as the re-
QUESTION is made the President will issue
a proclamation in most positive Ian
guage, admOnishing the citizens of
Louisiana to peace, dispensing the Nc
Emery government, and proclaiming
the Kellogg assumption as the lawful
government, and announcing the inten-
ton of the Executive to sustain Kellogg
with the whole military force of the
country if necessary. This prOclama-
ton is to be accompanied with an order
to send all available troops to report to
General Emory at New Orleans. The
proclamation will be in such language
that it will be susceptible of no doubtful
meaning.
Another Version of What Grant will do.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Presi-
dent has received no telegram from
Governor kellogg since last Friday,
when the condition of affairs were rep
resented as somewhat improved. While
there is no doubt the President would in
tervene to protect the State from Demo
cratic violence should its governor make
application for that purpose, and pro-
vided the facts should warrant the pro-
ceeding, it is, nevertheless, the hopes of
the President, as he expressed himself
to a friend tonight, that all disturbances
would soon cease, and that no
such contingency as that contemplated
by the constitution would occur, but if
it unfortunately should, he would take
care to act early within the limit Of the
constitution and laws. Heretofore he
had merely sustained the decisions of
the courts.

" NASHVILLE, May 10, 1878. !
To the County Court Clerk of - county:
SIR:-A circular letter, issued from this
office May lst, says: Under the assessment
law the taX-cOllectOr collects the ad valorem
tax upon merchants, while the County Court
Clerks collect the privilege taxes in all cases"
From a thorough examination of the law,
am satisfied that this construction is errOne-
Gus. l am satisfied that under the law il is
the duty of the County Court Clerk to assess
and collect the ad valOrem tax on auction
an commission and all other merchants, as
was provided by law before the passage of the
present assessment law.
In continuation Of this l have the opinion
OF the Attorney-General, who telegraphs me
as follows: There is some contradiction in
the act. The I'D section settled it by reference
TO the ormer law, that the Clerk collects ad
valorem and privilege tax" The assessor,
therefore, need not I'LL out the blanks in the
second and third heads of the blank sched-

the Grant riot. The PtcdanIne was i'm

sneak-thief; lived, boarded, and slept
with the negroes; and if he had no in
fiuence in melting them to their recent
folly, it was because they had too much
