It is hard to determine whether
the document on the Beecher scan
dial is the production Of George
Alfred Tlton or Theodore Town
send. In fact we are getting so
confused over this matter as to
have doubts about who the injured
party really is. Sometimes we are
confident it can't be any other than
Alfred Elizabeth. If it is not too
much trouble, we should be obliged
if the Graphic would print the
original charge. with map and Illus
trations, showing who the original
party was who is supposed TO have
been ruined If this last produc-
ton is all from the pen of Tilton,
we sigh when we think of the valu-
able time that has been wasted
All these weary weeks he has been
writing, writing while others slept,
walked, and attended to the ordi
nary affairs of life Men might
mourn ur be merry, but Tilton
wrote The greedy seeker after
wealth might be laying up his du.
cats, but 1'ilton's pen still glided
over pages of foolscap. Children
were born, and died; the harvest
came, and was ended; but still this
indefatigable man fiinched not
from his great purpose. It is the
most astonishing effort Of kind
and doting husband to prove his
wife ''bold bad woman" We ever
witnessed. If he has not done it
after all this toll, he is really to be
pitied. But may we not hope that
this gush will last Mr.. Tilton for a
fortnight Mt leastf OF course,
nothing can be SO important as this
matter, and nations may crumble
and dynasties perish without heed :
30 long as it is before the public;
but there are, after all, few nee
esasry duties of life that require
and now and then an
event occurs which may be of inter
est to the world, even while this
great question is being discussed.
We offer no criticism on the docu-
ment, further than to say that the
original production covers about
six square feet of surface, and is
of about $4,000 words
Inter Ocean.

THE TRAMP.


BY LON HOLDING.
On a morn in dreary winter
Came n worn and weary printer,
With his bundle on a splinter
Ger his back;
Travei-strained, he was, and needy,
And his appetite was greedy
For q smack"
For the printing Office steering,
Till within the door appearing,
Where lac bowed, as one revering,
When he spoke,
Saying, in a voice as solemn
As a gratis Buchu column,
81 am broke.
In your city I'm a stranger.
Dusty, seedy as a Granger
For slumbered in the manger
OF a barn
desire a small donation
And some easy transportation
For my CORN.
Boatr tried to work my passage,
Moving freight and rough expressage-
Living on bologna sausage,
Dry and poor
But they found was printer,
And they hustled me instanter
To the shore.
Then I sadly recollected
Days when printers were respected
For their skill. Now I'm elected
Fore and aft,
Just because SOME have by drinking
Set the steamboat men to sinking
ALL the craft.
Thus do sober workmen suffer
By the vices of the loafer,
Till indeed whene'er go for
Work / shrink,
Lest another's imposition
Throws on me foul suspicion
: That drink.
Deeply does it wound and grieve me
When man will not believe me,
But, dear sir, If you will give me
Fifty cents,
Will, by its proper using,
Show you I'm above abusing
Confidence"
BY his doleful conversation
Reused he our commiseration,
And we made the "smail Donation"
Which he sunk;
But while going TO our dinner
We observed that hardened sinner
Beastly drunk!
Thus do sober workmen suffer
BY the vices of the loafer-
Basest coin will often go for
Purest stamp,
Kindest ones who most have trusted
Are most thoroughly disgusted
With the tramp.

THE SEVENTH TENNESSEE.
The Annual Reunion Postponed Until
October =.

We have been requested to publish the
following announcement:
To the Members Of the Seventh Tennes-
see Reunion Association: The first Thurs
day i'm October was the day set apart for
the regular annual reunion Of the survivors
of the Seventh Tennessee regiment, but it
being ascertained that there will be held at
this place on that day a Congressional Dis
trict Convention, it is deemed advisable, in
order to avoid embarrassment, to postpone
the reunion TO Friday, the second day of
October. 1t is hoped that all who may see
this publication will interest themselves to
make the pOstpOnement generally known.
The hospitality of the good people of Smith
county will be generously extended TO all
who may come on the I'd proXimO, and
more especially to the survivors of ''Arch-
er's Brigade" JOHN ALLEN,
President of the Seventh Tennessee Re
union Association.
The gallant old Seventh belonged 10 the
army of Northern Virginia, and followed
the fortunes of Lee and Stonewall Jackson
in all of their historic campaigns and bat
ties, from Seven Pines tOAppamattOX Court
House. 1t was the first to inaUgurate these
pleasant social gatherings, and the idea is
being adopted by commands in this and
other States. If our Northern friends i'm
agine that there is anything sectional or pO-
litical in these meetings, let them wait
until after this good time at Carthage, and
then take the testimony of some of the eX-
Federal soldiers, who will probably be
guests on the occasion; the testimony of
men who will do to rely upon, men who
were '.stayers," and knew how it was them
selves. e

second Day of the OoIored State Fair.

Yesterday, the second day of the Color
ed State Fair, did not witness as large a
turnout of the colored folks at the FAN
grounds as there was reason to expect.
The exhibition consisted mainly of stock,
there being a very creditable display OF
horses, mules, cattle, etc. The chief attrac-
ton was the races. Lapsley beat Sanders
in mile heatS-time 1:5t. In a trotting
contest between Bob Lee and j. Bosley,
Bosley won, the time being twenty-three
minutes.
The managers are anxious to make this
big day at the Fair grounds. There will
be an interesting variety Of domestic ami
mails on exhibition and several races. All
the colored schools in the city am vicinity
are invited to attend, and are expected TO
be out

A Down Easter charged with FELONY

Capt. Yater received telegram yester-
day from the High Sheriff Of West Win
stead, Conn.,, notifying him TO arrest
James Butler, from that city, on the charge
Of felony. Officer Massey came across
Butler yesterday afternoon on the corner of
Lincoln alley and High street, and at once
took him into custody.
Butler is of me iium stature, dark CON-
plexion. has short hair and small moustache,
Is about tgenty-six years of age, and talks
In a very low tone Of voice. He says he
owes a debt Of S13 in Winstead, but denies
having committed any offence warranting
his arrest. He reached Nashville last
Monday, he says, and at once procured en-
plOyment at the Dixie Oil works. He is a
carpenter by trade.
Capt. Yater telegraphed to Winstead the
news Of Buffers arrest, and allowed Butler
to remain at the police station last night
while awaiting an answer.
The prisoner stretched himself out on a
bench, laid 4 newspaper over his face and
slept as peacefully as a child.

RIDING TO DEATH.
A FrightfuI Episode on the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail-

Knoxville Press and Herald, Sept. %.
Iandon Collins. a young man about
TWENTY-FIVE wears Of age, of an alert dispO-
sitiOn which earned him the sobriquet of
ssCrick," a diminutiOn of Cricket was
formerly a fireman on the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad, but left
East Tennessee some time since, and went
down en- the Mobile and Ohio Railroad.
Work giving out there, Collins turned his
face East Tennessee-ward, and, by dint Of
part walking, his money having given out,
arrived at Knoxville. Last Friday night
he thought to ges on tOhis friends in upper
East Tennessee, and concluded to steal Il
ride on the freight train. Getting within
an empty box car he rode as far rs Rogers
vile Junction. The night being cool, he
belhought himself of a warm niche in front
of the engine, over the eOw-catcher. When
the train stopped at the junction, Collins
encOncad himself in the darkness of the
niche, and the train drove onward. Rat
ting along at a furious pace, an hour after
midnight, the engine ran into belated bull,
and tossed the great animal up upon the
poor fellow, covering in dread of his fate.
What his feelings must have been, as with
startling eyeballS, he watched, in the fierce
CLEAN from the headlight, the space between
the engine and the bull mOmentarily lessen
ing, can be imagined, perhaps, but not de
seribed. Moments must have seemed to
him an eternity.
The engineer, Of course, noted that he
had knocked bull from the track, but was
all unconscious of the battered Collins
clinging desperately to his frail hold in
front of the engine. Shipping the train at
Lick creek, the next station above, the
engineer, while Oiling his engine, heard
the poor fellows groans, and looking
around was Just in time To catch poor Col
Inns as he fell from the engine. Carefully
lifting him, grOaning and weak, the engi-
neer carried him TO HendersOn's, where lie
left him in care of a relative.
Our informant saw Collins, yesterday.
Ribs and arms were broken, and face bat
tered and body bruised. The physicians
have small hopes of his recovery. "Crick"
Collins was well liked by his comades,
who will shudder as they read Of his fate.
His has been an unfortunate family. One
brother, Hiram Collins, was killed on the
NJ. and o. Railroad, about three years ago,
aud not long after, another brother, d. A.
Collins, was killed near Philadelphia,
Tenn, by the engine Of mail train turn.

his life, near the same time, by the explo-
sion of an engine at Knoxville.

The Antics Of "a CaPttOus COlOred

A very strange performance was witness
ed on Market street a short distance south
of Broad yesterday evening, and drew to-
gether a curious. crowd.
John Howard, a cOlOred carpenter, got
on ..tear' at his shop aud cut such antics
and capers as to be pronounced temporarily
insane. He hogan by Oyerturning every
thing in his shop, tumbling chairs, stools,
buckets, timber, stoves and tools into a
confused litter on the floor. He then beat
every pane of glass out of the windows
with his fist, which he cut up fearfully.
Getting outside of the shop in the midst of
the cEwd, he geSticulated and gyrated
hither and thither, making efforts to close
with several persons, and slung gore from
his bloody hands till the sidewalk was pro
fusely sprinkled. His last feat was to
charge a mule which was standing by and
which he endeavOred TO kick.
While going through all these perform
ances, he did not show signs of anger, and
the crowd was scarcely more astOnished
tnan amused at him. He was finally seiz-
ed by several persons who dragged him into
the shop and succeeded in holding him
down.

Mr.. George 5. Kinney, of Cheatham x

South Market street, leaves to-day on a
business visit 10 West Tennessee, where
hin house enjoys a very extensive and stea-
div increasing trade. The warehouse
occupied by this well known finn is 2l3
feet deep by 81 wide, running back from
Market To Front street, and on its five
floors is stored the largest stock of
WHISTLES, brandies and wines in the
Southwestern country. Of Robertson and
Lincoln county whiSkieS-which they
make a specialty-they have DOW not
less than 5000 barrels on hand, and 800
barrels more of the latter brand will arrive
this week. As may naturally be supposed,
il requires an immense capital 10 carry such
a stock. but MeSsrs. Cheatham IL Kinney
are well provided in that respect and can
afford TO hold their whisky until its
best qualities have been brought out
by age. They purchase from none but the
best diStillerS, and never sell until the ar
ticle is in prime condition for use. By
pursuing this policy they have built up a
trade in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi. second to that of no house

tiOns have driven Bourbon WHISTLES almost
entirely out of the market, There can be

monstratad by constant accessiOns to the

they make these two brands-as stated
above-a specially, other departments are
