Mr.. L. b. Waters, of McMinnville,
has recently returned from Texas, and
states that he conyersed wilhelm Dallas
with a lawyer who was thoroughly in
formed as to the circumstances under
which young Charles Gentry, former
ly of this county, killed 1Iissourian
named Shire, several weeks ago.
Though unfriendly to Gentry, the law
yer insisted that quarrel about some
whisky which the two men had in the
stage led to the killing, and every
thing on Shire's body, including his
money, wasleft untouched. This, with
the confirmatory statement Of two Dali
las merchants who rode up a very
few moments after the tragedy, would
seem to clear young Gentry Of the
suspicion of having added robbery to
murder. 1t is expected that detail
ed and correct account of the affair
will be received here tins week.

THE CHANGERS.

The Patrons of Husbandry, of
Brownsville, Mo, ore making a move
toward securing the location of the
State grange mandatory at that
place.
There are nineteen lodges of Grang-
ers in Sumner county, Tenn, and two
others about to organize, which viii
increase the membership to about
1900.
The Changers of Lawrence county,
Indiana, are taking an active part in
the politics of that section of country,
having called upon j. c. Houston,
Esq, to represent them as Auditor.
One writer says: 1.-The word
grange is Roman by birth, English
by association and American by adop-
ton. 1t signifed a corn farm where
tithes and rents due religious houses
were kept"
at a meeting of Dora Grange,
Moultrie county, Illinois, a resolution
was passed that in all cases Of dispute
between members, the parties shall
try to settle by arbitration before
going into litigation.
The Maryland State Grange re-
quests manufacturers and dealers in
agricultural and farming implements
of all kinds to discontinue the practice
Of demanding exorbitant pay for sep
arate pieces or parts Of such when
needed for repairs.
Nashville Banner: At the last reg
ular consultation meeting of all the
oranges in Sumner county, it is said
they agreed that a certain business in
Gallatin was "bogus," and that all
grangers were warned against having
any business with "bogus." So much
for bogus business.
The grange store-house at Camden,
Tenn, was burned few days since.
Loss, 5000, insurance, 81, 800. The
fire is supposed to have been the work
of an incendiary. 1t was one of the
largest houses in that county, and con.
siderable business was transacted
through it by the grangers.
The Master Of the Missouri State
Grange, in answer to a correspondent
asking if grangers should take stock
in railroads, discountenances the idea
as antagonistic to agricultural devel.
opment and prosperity. He urges
that all grangers keep aloof from
entangling alliances with such monop-
oiies.
The Rockford (Alabama) Grange
has adopted this resolution: That we
will retrench our expenditures for
dress and living, and confne them to
articles actually necessary for decency,
comfort and good health, and will
deny ourselves, as far as possible, the
purchase of such things, both as to
dress and living, as are supcrhuous.

The correspondent of the jewish
Chronicle Of Jerusalem writes: "The
enormous immigration of Russian and
Polish Jews goes on without inter-
mission. Last autumn every Russian
boat from Odessz and every Austrian
boat from Trieste brought forty or
fifty families. Among these were
several rich men, who Immediately
on their arrival bought ground and
built houses especially outside thecity
near the gate, on both sidesof the Jaf-
ia road, so that new suburb-in fact,
a "new Jerusalem" is Swinging up
here. The finest houses belong to
our co-religionists. 1t would be a hap
py thing for Jerusalem if there were
sufficient rich persons in the city it
self to obviate the constant appeals to
Europe for relief"

by at least ten per cent; and If
our paper dollar is worth ten per cent.
less than the gold dollar it is quite evident that
the purchasing and paying power OF the United
States currency and national bank notes, oy
which ships and warehouses are now built and
the salaries Of officials soldiers and sailors are
now paid is twenty per cent. less than that OF
the gold with which these Government obllga-
tons were discharged in 1860 These are self
evident truths, and they will be admitted and
acknowledged by every intelligent and candid
reader. The inference is equally plain and torcl-
bic that the actual cost of the Government In
ls74-the charges growing out Of the war,
amounts paid for public works which are perma-
nent investments, and the difference in the value
OF the paper dollar now and the dHte-bettin1 gold
dollar eonsidered-is really less than the actual
cost OF the Government in 1860, with eleven mil
lion or one-thir6 less population at that time
than we have now.
If the opposition and independent press lay
claim to truth and hon esty In their charge
against the Republican party they will be forced
to invent some new line of attack, and abandon
the story of extravagance in the Government
expenditures. The matter of economy Is one OF
the chief aims of the Administration and of
Congress, aud every intelligent man in the
country will acknowledge very great success IN
that direction since the close Of an exhaustive
and costly war. Retrenchment and economy are
still the watch-word and the policy, and Will be
as long as there is room for dollars reduction
in the cost of Government without detriment to
the public interests

The Southern RebeIIiOn-Its Extent and
Consequences.

The following is from the Daily News of Sep
tember 10, Democratic paper published at
Atlanta Georgia:
against the fate that confronts us what have
the Southern people2 Is it that prudence
which such papers as the Louisville Courier
Journal advocates but which men less gifted
than the editor of that paper call dastardly
submission2 mol Our only hope is in a stern,
resolute resistance resistance to the death, if
necessary, with arms in our hands. Let there
be White Leagues formed in every town, VII
lage, and hamlet of the South, and let us Or
ganize for the great struggle which
seems to be inevitable. If the October elections
which are to be held at the North are favorable
to the Radicals the time will have arrived for us
to prepare for the very worst. The radicalism
of the Republican party must he met by the radi-
calism of the white men. We have no war to
make against the United States Government, but
against the Republican party our hate must be
unQuenchable, our war intermlnable and mercl-
less. Fast feeting away is the day for wordy
protests and idle appeals to the magnanimity Of
the Republican party.
"By brute force they are endeavoring to force
US into acquiescence 70 their hideous pro-
gramme. We have submitted long enough to
indignities and it is time to meet brute force
with brute force. Every Southern State should
swarm with White Leagues, and we should
civil rights bill 1t will not do to wait until
Radicalism has fettered US to the car of social
equality before we make an effort to resist it.
The signing of the bill will be declaration of
war against the Southern whites. 1t is our duty
to ourselves it is our duty to our children, it is
our duty to the white race whose prowess sub
dued the wilderness of this continent, whose civ
iizaton filled it with cities, and towns, and vii
lagos; whose mind gave it power and grandeur,
and whose labor impaired to it prosperity and
whose love made peace and happiness dwell
within its homes, to take up the gage of battle
the moment it is thrown down.
''If the white Democrats of the North are men
they will not. stand idly by and see us borne
down by Northern Radicals and half barbarous
negroes But no matter what they may do, it
is time for us to organize. We have been tenn
porizing long enough. Let Northern Radicals
understand that military supervision of Southern
elections and the civil rights bill mean war,
that war means bloodshed, and that we are ter
ribly in earnest and even they, fanatical as they
are, may retrace their steps before it is too
laten

The South Responsible for Radical Leg
IslatiOn.
From the Cincinnati Gazette, Sent. II.


If there was an irrepressible conflict between
freedom and slavery which must sooner or later
be fought out it is still probable that the South
could have greatly prolonged its power by
gracefully submitting to the election OF Lincoln.
Had this been done the mass of Northern Re
publicans would have gone to the furthest verge
of conservatism and dough-iacery in showing
that while Republicans, they were not Rbolition-
ists Nothing less than the preservation of the
Union could have driven the North 10 war. for
it had loug submitted to every pussible en-
eroachment to avoid hostile outbreak TIE
South was too oTerbearing to be prudent, and
missing its opportunity to defeat Northern lib
eralsm by demoralizing it, lost slavery and
political supremacy. This year, grown bold By
the defeat of the civil rights bill, BY some Demo-
cratic victories, and by q fancied sympathy of
the President for them, the ex-rebels are show
ing increased hatred to the freedmen and North
ern settlers, It now looks as if their venom
might insure the passage Of the measure which
many Republicans deemed inexpedieut and un-
duly radical. The President is reported to have
said to recent interviewer, that, while he
should have vetoed the civil rights measure had
it passed both houses at the last session. il might
become his duty to sign it at the next. He could
not say that he should veto it. He blamed the
Southern Republicans for urging it at the
wrong time, and If 1t were enacted, should leave
the responsibility with them. The majority Of
the people, and probably of Congressman, will
not trouble themselves as much about the expe-
diency of past legislation as about what shall
be done with the murderous gangs who are now
disturbing the peace. The nation has not gone
through four years Of war merely for the sake
Of establishing a hollow truce. 1t will not en-
dure what it was willing to bear in ls60-6l.
Consideration for Southern prejudice had much
70 do with the defeat of the civil rights bill, but
If it fails next winter it will be from other rea-
sons than Difference TO the views of White
Leaguers and blood-thirsty Ku-klux. The more
these gentry demonstrate, the more sure are
they TO bring upon their section the most strin-
gent and repressive legislation.
