DIXON SPRINGS.

A Melancholy Account of the Crops I'm
TrousdaIe and Smith Counfies-Ey.
ersthing Earning Up and the Farm
err Hard Rum for Money-The Pop.
uIar Feeling About Civil Rights.
To the Union and American.
DIXON SPRINGS, Tenn, June 8,
1S7&-It has been very warm and dry
for the past four weeks, and very few
of our farmers have pat In the
corn they calculated on planting.
The ground has dried and baked SO
hard since the heavy rains that they
could not break it so as to plant their
crops. We know of some who live on
the river, and on creeks near the river,
where the lands were flooded by back
water, that have not planted d grain of
corn, and cannot until they have rain.
Corn that has come up is dying out in
many places, and vegetation is pareh-
ing up.
Very few cabbage plants have been
set out and scarcely any sweet potato
slips. The Irish potatoe crop will not
make the seed if we don't have good
rain soon.
We think our wheat crop viii be re-
duced by the drouth at least one-third,
compared with the prospect VIC had
some two weeks ago. 1t is ripening,
or rather burning up, before the grain
can fill.
Our oat crop is utterly ruined. 1t
has commenced heading and is not
over six inches high, entirely too short
to be saved, and is burning up fast.
There has been no grass seed sowed
as yet in this vicinity, as we cannot
prepare our land until it rains.
We have despaired of having to-
bacco crop this year. The fly and dry
weather have played sad havoc with our
plants. have Travelled over a good
portion of Smith county in the last
ten days and find this to be the case
everywhere.
If we could have rain soon the greater
part of cur lands that have been kept
fer tobacco would be planted in corn.
Old corn is very scarce in this neigh
borhood and is selling at S. per barrel.
The fruit crop was cut rather short by
hail STORM THAT visited us while our
fruit trees were in full bloom, knock
ing the blossoms from the trees and
covering the ground with them.
Our meadows and grass lots have
parched up SO that they look as dry
and dead as they did in the month of
January. Stock viii soon be suffering
for the want Of something to eat. 1t
is, indeed, a distressing time in this
country at present. Most of our farm
ers have suspended operations, and
know not what to do next. We have
prophesied and prophesied, and ex-
amined every almanac we can find to
see when the moon would full or
change, but it seems that all signs fail
In dry weather.
We never experienced harder times
as to financial affairs. There is scarce
ly any money in circulation, and to cap
the climax, along comes the civil rights
bill. l tell you, Mr.. Editor, we are in
no humor to show the NEGRO any re-
spect whatever. We don't want to be
bothered with him, and if he has any
friends at home he had better stay
there, for we assure you that in this
county they are like angels visits
few and far between, He had better
stay where he is; he would have better
health md live longer; it would be
rather warm for him down here,

CONCERNING PAUPERS.
Are They All to be Concentrated in
Davidson County ?-What Judge Fer
riss Thinks About 1t.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June s, 1S74.-I
wish to call special attention to section
1907 of the Code, which reads thus: '.NO
person shall be admitted into the Asylum
County Asylum) who has not been an in
habitant of the county, by actual residence
in it, for one whole year next preceding his
or her application"
This is the law and should be observed,
and is generally carried ont by our Com
misSioners; but in some extreme cases
they are compelled to do otherwise. The
hardship complain of is this: Other coun-
ties send their paupers here daily to be pro-
vided for at our expense. They come to
the Mayor first, and he has no law to put
them into the hospital, and then Of course
the county has to either turn them off to
die or suffer or violate the law and take
them.
A few days ago we had TO take a lady
from Montgomery county who could not be
turned out on the world. She said they
told her at GAINESVILLE to come here; and
adother has applied to-day from Cheathan,
county and wishes to 60 to our County
Asylum. She has resided in Cheatham
county four years, and the one from CIarks-
vile had been there over one year. We are
quite charitable people, but do think it
rather an imposition TO be imposed upon Low
other counties. All counties are entitled
to have asylums for their poor, afflicted
people, and why not erect them and LET
Davidsonlcounty take care of its own poor,
for we have great many that deserve ouI
charity. We do insist, however, that other
counties shall be rnade to look after their
poor and not se.ld them to Nashville. And
as for homeless children, will provide fol-
them without taxing the county; L care not
where they come from.
Respectfully,

in this section. Col. John Stevenson and
Maj. Araham Lamb, enterprising farmers
Of Williamson county, have sold and de
livered to-day at the Jackson fiOurinz mills
a part of their crop of early White Shaker
wheat, for which they received Sl.5O per
bushel. One ear load Of new wheat for
this weeks delivery has been engaged by
the Reservoir mills at SIPS. II was raised
by Mfr. A Pickett, of Rutherford county.

Plain English.

There is no good reason why an English-speak-
ing people should be doctored in Latin. If we
should describe the properties of HOstetters
stomach Bitters in the jargOn Of the profession,
not one reader in twenty would understand
what it is good for. We prefer to say in simple
words that it possesses strengthening, regulat
ing and purifying qualities of the highest order;
that the vegetable ingredients, of which it is
composed, are eminently wholesome and salu-
tary, and that the stimulent which is combined
with them is the purest that can be manufac-
tured. We prescribe il, not in garbled Latin,
but in the good old mother tongue, as a remedy
for languOr, debility, nervousness, indigestion,
liver complaint, fever and ague, constipation,
Rheumatism and low spirits, and as a proven
tive OF every disease produced by foul air,
whether IL stagnates in crowded work-rOoms, or
imperils life and health in swampy districts and
new cearings. So the masses say, and so they
have been saying for the last twenty years.

creased by reducing thei amount OF license
tax required of the retail dealer,
The small retail dealers in tobacco are,
under operation of the existing law, driven
from the trade, and the use of tobacco IS
bacoming the luxury of the rich. Indeed,
in this and other respects, the tobacco tax
seems to have been framed with the view
OF fayoring the large dealers and in the in
terest of manufacturers at the expense OF
the producer.
1t is especially in this connection thai L
would commend to the consideration OF the
committee the wisdom Of the rule of taxa
ton already quoted, ''that Taxation ought 10
be levied at the I iiIie and in Tie manner IN
which it e most likely to be convenient Tor
the contributor to pay it," II, then, re-
peat, the condition of the finances viii not
admit total repeal of this law, and the
supply Of any deficiency likely to arise
ffoIn such repeal from the sources l have
named, modify your internal revenue laws
in the interest of revenue and not in the
interest of classes; popularize the methods
and manner of its enforcement, cheaper
the cost Of its collection, and you will be
enabled to receive more in amount at less
rates than you now impose.
When you come to regard the immense
a.fiouht Of taxation paid annually by the
people of the United States for the support
of their national, State, and local govern
ment, amounting in round numbers TO
100000, 900 per ahfinm, and to realize the
truth of the axiom in political economy
that taxation is the abstraction of the capl-
tai of the country, and that every interest
in the country is being Frustrated in tins
abstraction of capital, it seems most strange
that the Committee on Ways and Means
should hesitate in recommending line oil
policy which would relieve the industries
and labor of the country from the weight
and burdens of protection and class legisls-
ton, and under which these industries and
this labor are coerced into the payment OF
millions to foster and enrich the favored
few.
No substantial relief can come to the
country until these weights and burdens
are removed. The labor and industry of
the people demand emancipation from
these expressions. They demand freedom
and equality. This can only be had by
adopting a strictly revenue policy. Do
this, and relieve them from the thralldom
under which they labor, growing out Of
your currency laws, and you will have
solved the problem Of cheap transportation.
And again, upward and onward will be
the progress OF American commerce. Amer
lean industry and American institutions.

IMPORTANT BOND CASE.
Anderson County Railroad Bonds De-
eIared void. ts,-

Anderson County Railroad Bonds De-
eIared void. ',4-
Knoxville Press and Herald, June7.
At the special term of the Circuit
Court Of Anderson county, held this
week by Judge NJ. L. Hall, the case of
John S. Ross VS.. The County of An
derson was heard and determined. The
only question involved was the validity
of the Anderson county railroad bonds
In 1883, Anderson county voted to sub
scribe 100000 in the Knoxville and
Kentucky Railroad Company. to be
paid by direct tax in six annual in
stallments. But, at the request of the
railroad compaiiy, the County Court,
instead of voting the annual tax, issued
to the company 100000 IN county
bonds. The citizens having paid
the 100000 in interest, according
to contract, were unwilling to
pay any more, and the County Court
refused to levy any additional railroad
4ax. Thereupon the bondholders
brought this suit as test suit to COM
pei the County Court to levy the Rail-
road tax. The railroaders were repre-
sented by w. G.. Taylor, Esq, of Nor
ristown, whose father and brother are
reported to own about $50, 900 of bonds.
Judge Hall decided without hesitation
that the bonds were absolutely void,
and that the county was under no legal
obligation to pay either them or their
coupons. The petitioner appealed the
case to the Supreme Court.
The citizens of the county are de-
lighted beyond measure, the Railroad
tax being grievous burden upon them,
and the further progress of the case
viii be watched with great interest.

FINANCIAL.

Business still continues dull with our
bankers and brokers. There is but little
demand for discounts from the banks,
though rates are still ten per cent per an
mum. Money can be had on the streets, on
call at the same rate, with stocks and bonds
as collaterals.
Gold clored in New York at 110i. Our
dealers pay ITO and hold at Ill, with moth
ing doing. Silver is taken at 103 for halves
and quarters.
Exchange on New York is firm. The
banks buy at par and sell at 81 per thou
sand premium.
Government bonds are lower. These
bonds are not dealt in to any great extent
here. The 5-20s of 1867 are quoted in
New York at 120. They would bring here
about 119s.
Tennessee bonds are about the same as
last week, and are quoted in New York as
being held at S06S3, while sales of the
Funded Series are reported at 624. There
is no investment demand for these bonds
here, and they are but seldom on the mar
ket, though yesterday there were several
lots, but no sales as far as we could
learn.
Our local securities are rather dull. Fol-
quotations we refer to those given by the
Nashville Savings Company, corner Union
