Mr.. w. w. M'Dowell, in a note,
corrects the report Of his speech. He says:
ain your report OF my speech of last Monday
night there are several errors, principally
as they are chiefly in the fig
ures. / give below what l SAID on those
paper, viz: Under Radical rule the peni-
tentiary cost the State about seventy thou
sand dollars year, but now the Radical
speakers think ii a big JOB for the Democrats
b make it pay the State thiTts thousand dol
lars year. The Radicals expended about
one million seven hundred thousand dollars
ear IN the administration OF our etate-ior
several years before their overthrow in Ten
D essee. Judge Lewis & Co. increased
Inc county debts from TWEEN y-three thousand
collars 10 five hundred and seventy-three
thousand dollars in two years and eight
months. There is but one Of them that pays
any taxes" Your efficient reporter under

5ates when 1 used the word, them, in the

-HernandO, Mississippi, though a large,
wealthy, hourishing town, and one OF the
Dretiiest on the Memphis and Tennessee rail-
Dad. though blegt in having four churches,
wO colleges and several private schools, has
but one newspaper ana that not altogether so
handsomely supported as IL merits. This one

Nobody who has failed 10 send IN his two dol

ne war il has been conducted and edited by
'aptain William =. Slade, good man. per-
ect gentleman and thorough going Democrat.
This last has initiated somewhat against the
material interests OF his paper, causing IL TO
Ose the public printing. TO which, as the only
county paper, u was entitled.
The impression prevails that the
IGnddmls case under which the city has |
evied and Is collecting what IS known as
he nlandGntts tax, was resctnded and |
unulled when the case OF Brown UeTslts the /
IIy was heard and reversed in the supreme /

ATE and independent case, and is now pend |
