Protestant MISSIONARY WORK IN ROME
Not finding any great demand in Rome for the
Bibles and tracts which it is the Protestant
uissionary's great object in life to Distribute
broad cast, certain well-meaning bnt badly
instructed ladies have taken to a method of
disseminating them which is almost as in
oepious, and likely to be quite as successful as
an expedient adopted in similar circumstances
Inv the late DIR. Gardner Spring, of New York.
That eminent teacher of Presbyteriapism and
nnsuccessful opponent of she late Archbishop
Hughes being in Rome and filled with an
ardent longing to enlighten the miserable
Papists who surrounded him, found his tract
giving propensities somewhat interfered with
by the police. Nothing dsunted, he went on @
fine windy day to d hill much frsguented by
prop,nuaders and there, lifting q handful or
| two of his precious leaflets high in the air. he
| let them fly whittier they would. How many
converts be made history does nos say, but
/ doubtless as many he deserved. His present
| imitators in Rome have equally ingenious
| plan. They 70 iuto churches which seem 10
be frequented by the populsce, and after pray.
| ing, or pretending to do 80, before the Blessed
| Sacrament, accidentally forgot TO carry away
| their books Of devotion. Fortunately, Roman
| devotees are honest, and When they find the
| richly-bound bait lying whore it has been
placed, they carry it to the priests that the
| owners may reclaim it The experiment ID
| about rs wise as that tried by the missionary
| societies for supplying the Chinese wish
pratuitous gun wadding and wallpaper in ths
shape of Bibles and Protestant tracts.-N Y

their expressions of affection moved him 100
deeply, and he could with difficulty conceal MS
emotion. He therefore passed the whole day
in solitude, while the troops abandoned them
selves to feasting and rejoicings.

The States Witness Taken from Jail
BY Masked Men and Shot.
Release Of Two of Old Dick McKinley's
AsSaSsins by Their Friends.

Our readers will remember that one
Franklin Hall was arrested in Putnam
county, few days since, on suspicion of
being connected with the murder of Dick
Mckinley, an inoffensive colored man sixty
years of age, residing in that coun-
ty, and that Hall turned States
evidence, acknowledging his guilt
and implicated Joseph Petty, Timothy
Apple, James Bush, John Bush and Alec
Draper, of Smith county, Bluford Calicut,
Of Jackson county, and Carroll Reed, of
Putnam county. The following particu-
lars regarding this brutal affair were told
by Hall:
When the door Of McKinley's cabin had
been broken down by the assaulting party,
Mckinley grasped an AK to defend himself.
when he was shot n the bowels by Petty,
whereUpOn the old man struck at Petty
and the two fell to the ground together.
Apple then ran up, wrenched the axe from
McKinley's hand and broke the negro's
skull with the head Of the axe, so that his
brain prOtruded. James Bush shot McKin-
ley in the back as the old man Law upon
the ground in this helpless and mangled
condition, setting his shirt on fire and burn
ing the skin severely, so closely was the
weapon held to the body of the defenseleSs
victim Of this hellish assault.
During the affray, Apple received a
wound near the knee, inflicted by the AK and
John Bush was shot in the arm by some one
of his own party.
HALL KILLED.
James Bush and Calicut were arrested
soon after the above disclosures had been
made by Hall, and the three were
lodged in Jail at Cookeville, the
county seat of Putnam county. Wednesday
night party of armed men proceeded to
the Jail, overpowered the jailer, removed
the three prisoners, released Calicut and
Bush, and shot Hall to death, in the edge
of town, in spite of his cries for mercy.
The most active exertions are beingmade
by the citizens of Putnam county to secure
the arrest Of the members of the party now
a large. Ii is stated that Callicut made a
confession, in which he said he belonged
to an organized band, and gave the names
of several of the members of the organiZa-
ton.
The following is description of the
murderers of Mckinley, who have not yet
been arrested:
Draper is about six feet four inches,
high, flOrid complexion, with sandy whis-
kers and hair, is slightly stOop-shOuldered
and of angular build.
Apple is about five feet six in height,
square build, prominent features with red
dish complexion, hair light brown, and
is slightly knock-kneed.
John Bush is SIX feet high, has white
HAIR and white eyebrows, blue eyes, one of
which remains partially closed.
Petty is about five feet ten inches high,
square build, broad face, blue eyes, light
brown hair, is somewhat knOcked-kneed,
has a shambling walk, and will weigh
about lSO pounds.
Reed is about the same hight and build
as Petty, wears light moustache, has light
brown hair, blue eyes, and weighs between
1GO and $50 pounds.

and very obligins gentleman--receiyed an
order from Mr.. Tree, manager at Louis
vile, to close up his Office and quit. Mr..
Tree was very mad. Judge Austin had
notified the Company TO come forward un-
derthe revenue laws and give in the amount
o. property in the county for taxation.
The law is very clear, and the property Of
The company is just as liable to taxation as
that Of anybody else. Mr.. Tree writes let
ter 10 say that. under the act of 1858, his
company is liable for $25G to be paid the
Comptroller a. Nashville, and is not liable
Tor other taxes. This would all be very
well, but for the fact that the act of 1856
happens to be repealed, and the act of 1873
puts the company upon the same footing as
other common folks who own property In
Tennessee. Mr.. Tree may be very smart,
and, doubtless is, 10 be a trusted agent of
the rich Western Union Company, but he
Is poor lawyer. The law taxing his COM
pany is very plain.
The secret of the matter is that the COM
pany has, in several instances, damaged
parties in this county by not sending mes
sages correctly, and had TO pay for its neg
ligence tO the tune Of SIX or seven hundred
dollars. 1t had fair trials before juries,
and the ;tfries made them pay, and. we
doubt not, very properly, and they are very
mad about it, and jump to that for an ex-
ellse TO act meanly. And this is always
the case with rich eopOrotions when they
are made to come to .taw." The excuse
they offer is that the expenses of the Gala
tin Office are larger than the receipts. This.
as reason, is a little TOO thin The same
reason, if good, would close up nine-tentbs
Of the telegraph Offices and postofices on
the continent. The telegraph company
we'll knows that this is all bOsh, and a mere
sObterfuge, and that its reason is founded
upon its downright meanneSs, of the most
despicable kind.
The truth is, that these large. powerful
corporations of all kinds need taking down.
They are rich, and to be richer, they think
they should be above law, and bear none
Of its burdens. If they were only honest
and fair, they mikht be borne with, but
they are invariably oppressive, dictatorial.
impudent to their befters and outrageously
unjust to degree not far removed from
dishonesty. All know the insOlence and
extortions of most railroads, and the tele-
graph company is not behind them. All
over Europe the cost Of teiegaphing is a
mere trife-here it is OutrageOusly high.
and the Western Union has grown to be
one of the richest institutions on the con-
tinent within few years. II should be
taxed in proportion to extOrtiOns. 1t needs
taking down several pegs.
