The Democrat Of last week, says. that
the proposition presented to the County
Council by the Mad and Aagnst was
earnestly championed BY K. ]. Pitcher. T"
Mr.. Pitcher authorizes Us to say that he
did not champion the prososition-and
further that he was opposed to accepting
it. Mr. Pitcher had Q right to favor or
oppose ths proposition; but As he asks us
to ct lin right before the people on that
qusstioa, wedo 90 cheerfully. Mr.. Pilch-
er saso siys that there has never been one
word passed between himself and Mr..
Jacoby, Independent candidate for Recor-
der. infimating that there was the slight
est probability Of making him deputy. in
case Mr.. Jacoby should be elected. Mr..
Pitcher further says. that he was offered
q situation as deputy by Democratic
candidates, in consideration of his infiu-
euce for hiA election. The fact is, Mr..
Pitcher has been for years one Of the
best men In the Democratic party, in Mar.
shall county. He has been honest, capa-
bic srt strictly moral-iust such a man
- the party needed to give it character !;
but he lacked one necessary element to
procure . nomination for Office. He
would not buy popularity with free whis-

citizen fsvors the Reform party. and takes
m active part IN electing the Independent
ticket, he 10 assailed by his old political

THE BEECnER sCANpAL.
The Facts About Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton.

New YORKs July 12.-Theodorc
Tilton is now considered to be in q
state Of semi-ldnacy. Mrs. Tilton
has appeared before the inyestiga
ting committee, and denied in the
most positive manner that there
ever was the slightest impropriety
in the conduct of Mr.. Beecher to.
ward her. The reason assigned by
Mrs. Titton for the strange conduct
Of her husband IS that when. his in.
timacy with Mrs. Woodhull was at
its height she called upon Mr. Beech.
er, as her pastor. and asked him for
his advice. Her feelings had been
terribly outraged in consequence oil
her husband running after strange
women, and publicly announcing
that he had become q convert to the
doctrine of free love. 1t was at
that time Mrs. Tilton asked Mr..
Beecher for his advice, and, accord
ing to her statement, he advised her
to leave her husband. With the
lapse of time T. T.'s free love fever
cooled, and he learned Of the adj
vice Mr.. Beeeher had given to his
wife, and to that circumstances al
the present trouble and mystery are
due. Mrs. Tilton is unable to as
sign any other reason for her hus.
bands conduct, as she denies ever
having told anything which would
lead him or anybody else to suppose
that Mr.. Beecher had treated, OF
attempted to treat her, improperly.
Theodore Tilton was invited to
meet the committee on Saturday
evening, for the purpose of telling
his side of the story. Many of Mr..
Tilton's friends and aequaintances
are. of the opinion that ever since
becoming acquainted with. and in
terested in, Mrs. Woodhull and
other persons of q like character his
mind had been in q very unsettled
condition, and insanity. said to be
hereditary in his family, is gradually
developing itself. They are conf
dent that he will utteraly break down
should he ever appear before the
committee, and as q proof that in
sanity is hereditary in the Tilton
family, it is alleged that Theodore's S
brother was for long time an in
mate of the Kings County Lunatic
Asylum at Flatbush.-Specidl DIS

FELLOW CITIZENS 81 have beon
informed that in some localities, per-
sons are still pretending to be dis
satisfied with my acting as Clerk for
the Commissioners Of the State of
Tennessee in receiving direct taxes
and that they are still trying to
make the impression that the col
lection was made without authority
Of law. Every man who has taken
the pains to inform himself, land all
should, who are disposed to deal
fairly, knows that my only connec-
ton with said collection. was merely
to receive the taXes-tlat the tax
lists were made out by the Commits
sioners, notice given by them to-
make payment-how, where and
when it could be made, and that my
only agency was to receivel a per di-
ene, and defy any man to show that
/ ever demanded ono cent Of said
tax from him. Any other man whose
time was not worth moro to him than
the pay, would have done just as L
did.

the question Of authority, as to the

The Charleston Neaos and Courier
publishes this significant paragraph :
In only 10 of the So counties in
South Carolina !46 square miles of
land have been sold for State and
county taxes, and 557 square miles
of land have been forfeited to the
State at tax sales during the current
year." Applying the same ratio to
the other counties in the State, the
same journal concludes that sit is
within the bounds Of probability to
say that when the full returns have
come in from all the counties, it will
be found that from 1,4oo to- 1,50o
square miles Of property have IN the
last two years been sold or forfeited
for the non-payment of taxes. .

The Postal Law Construed.
|. Mr.. Griffith, the postmaster at
Fredericksburg, Va. has been fur
nished by the Postmaster General
with the following instructions in re.
gard to the new postal law:
Section seven of the new law pro-
yides that newspapers-one copy to
each actual subscriber residing with
in the county where the same are
printed. in whole or in part, and pub
lished-shall go free through the
mails. This includes daily, semi
weekly. weekly, monthly, or quar-
terly. A subscriber residing in an
adjacent county is required to pay
postage on papers published in a
county in which he does not reside,
even. though he receives that paper
through postoffce located in the
county where published. This sec
tion went into force from its passage,
June 25, 1874.
Section eight provides that all
mailable matter of the third class
and books, merchandise, ETC., may
weigh not exceeding four pounds for
each package thereof, and postage
shall be charged thereon at the rate
Of one cent for each two ounces or
fraction thereof.

: HELMS SNAKES. The Morristown
GAZETTE somewhat like the Nash
vile hens of last week, which laid
their eggs ready roasted, rather
oyercookod its snake story. The
Irish woman, alluded to by that pa
per, swallowed two small eggs, many
years ago, and so q couple OF East
Tennessee doctors performed some.
thing like the CSezarean section, and
took from her abdominal cavity, two
rattle snakes, measuring respective
ly, 80 and SO inches in length. Of
course they must have legerdemain.
ed themselves from the intestinal
tract to the peritoneal cavity. The
doctors were liberal with the knife,
and made the incision ten inches in
length. Then the two snakes were
in q tumor 26 inches in diameter, of
course they came rattling and snap
ping into the world, and of course
the doctors killed them. The Irish
woman was taught to eat partridge
eggs in Ireland, and she always swal-
lowed them whole, but confound her,
the strange fact remains, that she
never Matched her partridge eggs,
but always hatched her snake eggs.
Bristol Neaus.
DIR. Eli Johnson requests US to say
that he is not surprised at the incre-
dulity of the Neecs as to the snakes
being found in the perItoneal cavity.
Instead of evincing captious and
hasty Judgment, it proves profound
thought and greatresearch on an inn
portant scientific problem, and does
credit to the maturity and fairness
of the Neros, as a learned savaat, 50
deferentially to express doubts. AL
though the Doctor has well defined
theory of his own on the subject, he
will not elucidate it until his profess
sional brothers and his learned co.
adjutor of the Press aasd Herald have
time to further give their views on
the important fact involved. The
intimation of the Neaes. however, {he
particularly requested US to say, that
partridges could have been hatched
just as easily as snakes. is gratui-
tous and uncalled for, and the infer
ence to which it leads, that she was
guilty of practising wicked trick
upon an expectant public from ner-
cenary motives, is grossly Ibelous.
We have his positive assurance the
woman is above suspicion ofsaleI du-
plicity. The incubation was honest
and fair and the result proves how
greatly She was fooled in the charac.
Of the eggs.

AN IMpoRTAEr Law Su1T.-An
important suit was heard in the
Chancery Court at cambridge, last
week, of the merits of which cor
respondent of the Knoxville Ctroni-
Gle gives this idea
b. Ne Branner, executor of Jno.
Roper, deceased, sues the cambridge
Bank and others to have an account
of the affairs of said bank and to
collect in it's assets, etc. Among
other defendants are the East Ten
nessee and Virginia Railroad Conn
pany, and Jos. r. Mitchell & Co.
The former is sought to be held
liable for $4,000 in bonds said to
have been loaned to it by said bank
in 1859; and Mitchell & Co. are
sued for sum which now amounts
to upwards of $12, 900, the ground
ofrelief against them arising upon
the following state of facts: In
1859 said bank, after its failure to
resume specie payment, by the &C
tion of its stockholders, made a SUBJ
seription of $4,000 to the stock of
the Oeoee Bank and paid in the same,
in large part of transferring to
said Oeoee Bank notes on the East
Tennessee and Virginia and East
Tennessee and Georgia Railroad
Companies to the amount of about
$500 One Of these notes
amounting at the time it was trans,
fered, to $500, was after the war.
purchased by Mitchell & Co. from
the Ocoee Bank. and paid for. and
by them collected from the railroad
company. The Comptroller pro-
cJeds on the ground that the sub
scription and transfer OF stock to
the Ocoee Bank by the cambridge
Bank was void, and that therefore
the assets may be followed. and re-
covered. Other assets are sought,
the whole involved being $60, 600 or.
more.
