thief Goes Up for "a Years
Knoxville Chronicle Aug. H.
Clint. Loudermilk, the DOtOrious desPer-
ado anal horse thief, whose deeds and cap
ture furnishes a wonderful chapter IN the
history Of crime, has just been sent to the
penitentiary for twenty-One years 0y
Roane county jury. He was tried Tor steal
ING Welksr's horses in the great raid which
resulted in his CAPTURE, before Hon. Z Il.
Hall and a Jury. Not being able to employ
an attorney. Judge Samuel l. Childres5
was assigned BY the Court to conduct his
defense. Hon. George Brown was suggest
cd As a suitable person for the defense mas
much As LOudermilk had tried 10 raise q
fee for him, but the Judge declined m
Characteristic speech on TIE ground thai
sDcb work belonged TO the ''lOcal bar"
During the trial LOUdermilk maintained
his bravado air and in open court threat
ened an attorney assisting In The prosecn
ton with violence when His term shOutl
expire in the penitentiary. The jury eyi-
IDENTIFY were thinking Of hanging him under
the late statute allowing that severe penaiiy
for horse stealing, for they came into cOuI
for instructions looking that way. Judg'
Hall evidently did not want the eNtrem
nepalty 10 be first inflicted BY his court, To-
We are told he hedged against such 2 vei'

Ioudermilk about to the end Of his lite, tol

circumstances. Eighteen months ago the
Overseer of some ten wards formed the ac-
quaintance Of ONE young men Ofmuch high
er social position and discussed economy
questions with them. Some peasants after
wards attended the meetings and having
agreed that all property ought to be held in
common, they built house in remote
corner outside Of the city, set up q secret
press and distributed pamphlets advocating
the new creed. In these meetings they
carried out the fusion Of classes, the work
men and peasant sitting beside the gentle
men. Six members were condemned for
from three TO ten years Of hard labor, while
the other four, including ladies, will I'M
dergo imprisonment from three days to two
wears.

THE Nashville Bonner is heartily in
favor of the reelection of Carl Schurz
to the Senate from Missouri. We have
been listening to the UNION AND
AMERICAN to inquire how Mr.. SchurZ
stands on the Civil Rights question
KnoyUiIIe ChroaicIe.
Senator Schurz was absent when the
Civil Rights bill passed the Senate and,
50 far as we know, he never declared
himself on tie question. He has a
capacity for public affairs which falls
but little short of craftsmanship and
never fails to prove a valuable
ally to any combination with which
political interest leads him to act for
the time being. In the West, Mr..
Schurz has come to be recognized as a
party trimmer, who was never known
to underrate the value of his supposed
services. The people of Missouri did
not propose to make lifetime matter
of it when they sent him to the Senate,
and if men deemed better fitted to
serve them In that body are brought
forward, we do not see that his South
ern admirers can reasonably object.
Schurz has a way. whel- his towering
ambition meets with hindrance, of try
ing TO break up the organization with
which he may happen to be co-operat-
ing. and such is his purpose with re-
gard to the Democratic party IN Mis-
S uri, at the present juncture. His de-
feat Will be as humihaIing as that he
sustained at Cincinnati, when he at
tempted to dictate the nomination "
Adams. In that memorable convention
he was aided and a5etted by small
clique of editorial slate-makeTs whose
presumption was 50 sternly rebuked
that they have never ceased to regard
Schurz and themselves as martyrs.
They revenge themselves, every once in
a while, with an attempt to disorganize
the Democracy or to start a third party,
but the nation only laughs at them,
and they soon subside.
When the Constitution shall have
been amended, so as to make the Mis-
souri, Senator eligible TO the Presidency
of the United States, then, and not till
then. Will Carl be happy.

FRASKLIN, TESE., Aug. 15.-The Dem

nious and enthusiastic convention ever held
in this county. 1t was a grOund-swell sure
enough. The leading farmers from every

Col. F. NJ. Lavender refused 10 let his

speech Endorsed the action Of the conven-
ton. and said he was no disorganizer.
This action of his was hailed with cheers
and pleasure by all. To-day be is, as ever,
q favorite with old Williamson.
No platform was laid down, waiting for
the GubernatOrial Convention 20 do that
work. The convention recommended no
body for Governor or Congress, but APP
pointed delegates to Columbia TO nominate
a Congressman, and delegates to the Nash
Vile Convention TO make a Governor.
They got into such glee and glow of en-
thusiasm that they failed to appoint an ex-
eeutive committee for the county. This is
the first Democratic gun, and old William
son leads the van. B.

BUSINESS SINCE THE PANIC.

NllcAEu AAluaugs
One Of the most marked effects of the
panic in the country has been the remark
abb decrease in thecOnsumptiOn OF foreign
goods. According To the last returns OF
The Bureau Of Statistics. the imports for
the ten months ending Aprils30, as com
pared with the same ten months the year
before, are as fOllows-the valuation in
gold: -,
Merchandise. $3.50. .si6g,7 ,679 SIS, O66,9ot
Speeie .......-. 25,53f,6T lo,o6osoOo
Thus the imports Of merchandise are
SIS. 2}7, 222 less for the ten months ending
April. 1874. than for the corresponding
mouths ending April, 1873. The imports
of specie on the other hand are S6,9l4,le9
larger, leaving the reduction Sol,zo5, US.
There were in warehouse on April 80, 1918,
goods valued al S1I,64G,5 so; on April ~,
1874 SIS, 476g74. Tn, Sc figures represent
the amount Of imported goods, not the val
ues consumed. TO obtain this We must
remember that there were in warehouse on
April 80, 1873, imported goods to the value
Of ST.. 646,5To. On April 80, 1874, the
goods in warehouse were valued at Soo,-
475,974. Il thus appears that the amount
of imports consumed in the ten months end
ing April 81, 1874, was S4sS, s4O,-o4s while
for The ten months ending 1873 It was
ASS, 6S2, sos, Fully SIOOOOO,OOOs there
fore. repSent the amount Of economy IN I'M
ports alone consequent on the panic.
Our reports for the same period were;

Foreign merchandise. l5,693,2sl l5,4lssSo'
Total merchandise. 10. sig8, 4Ss-99l SsS2,lSs,52o
The export of specie, domestic and
foreign. was S44.lS4,j67 for 1874, and
S73.37Q.426 for 1928, making The total
exports in the one instance S537, 653s eos,
and in the other S5O7,5o2,9 $40. These tig-
ures show that we have exported IN specie
and goods S}O,O9O,Gl2 more during the ten
months ending April, 1874, than curing
the ten months ending April, 1878. The
yely York Daily Bulletin thinks that these
figures are an evidence OF economy ON the
part Of the American people. We wish We
conld look upon it in the same light. 10
as thcy are Evidence rather Of poverty. We
imported 500 100000 less, simply tecauce
we hal nothing 10 give in eXch nge for
that SlOa GOO,G,O worth Of goods. And, u
We exported more by over S50OOO,9O
while Our impOrtgtiOns not only did not IN
crease but decreased, 10 is because we have

and had 20 pay il In exports. On neither
J fact have We any reason 70 eOngratDlate
