The Memphis Avalanche opposes

his charges against the party in power,
and which, if true ought to be sufficient
to turn an honest man against il. The
AUuidRchC says:
Armed with the present assessment

to force from the people, by adding to
the face of taxable values, the addition
al revenues demanded by the funding
ring, but which the legislature refused
to provide 10y increasing the al vulorem
tax to sixty or seventy cents As desired
by Gov. Brown. Thus nc has already

FROM GRANGER COUNTY.
Court aud Political News -GraingCr
sure for Butler.

RUTLEDGE, TNNN., Oct. 10Th, "a
Correspondence Of the Chron.cleJ
The Chaucery Court began its regu-
lar session here this morning. Chan>
cellor Smith presiding. There are but
few cases of any Importance on the
docket. Members OF the bar from
Morristown and Messy Greek, a'e
present, but little business il antici-
pated.
The candidates for the Legislature
Messrs. Beeler, Curl aud Crozier, adj
dressed the people at the Court House
at noon to-day, during the recess OF
the court Your corresponding didn I
have time to report them. They All
propose retreuchmunt aud reform Do
in all departments Of the Govern
menU, Some OF their ideas on the
subject are novel, II not wise. One
would reduce the fees OF Justices OF
the Peace and abolish the Office OF
TaX. Collector; another would dImln-
ish the number of Judicial Circuits,
and so save the expense of salaries to
useless Judges IA third would do some
thing equally as wise and economical,
and all, with patriotic zeal, Will look
after the welfare of the whole state
when they reach the important posi-
tiun TO which they aspire. But few OF
the sUvereigns were present, aud no
idea could be formed as 80 the relative
strength OF The candidates. After the
adjournment of the court in the after
noon, drunken row occurred IN front
of grocery. To q peaceful kuoX-
william, the scene WAS startling and
Undesirable. Imagine q crowd OF
fifty, Oue-half of them more or les,
under the influence of liquor, aud
some half dozen fighting drunk aud
swearing Oaths more hOrrid than any
troopers, aud hurrahing Tor then
favorite candidates and rushing at each
other with fierce intent, and there you
have the scene. The crowd fortunate
IN had no knives or pistols. After {
half hour of this buster, the Deputy
sheriff and certain other peace ma
kers partially restored order. TnC
good reputation OF Granger as a peace
full county, has been greatly endanger
ed by this days uproar, but ,rhisky ha!
caused it.
Its believed that Butler will carry
this county by hadsume majority.
In the upper end Of the county IL
the Cliuch Valley, it is said the corr
crop is sorry, and that farmers ar,
losing their hogs with cholera.

DesiitutiOn in Kansas.

The Western papers are publishing
appeals for charity in behalf of the
de titute In Kansas. One of these
calls, from Smith county, declares
that the measures taken by The Legis-
lature are worse than useless, and up
braids the Governor with a narrow
pride" in asserting, i'm the face of
the plainest evidence, that Kansas is
able and willing to take care of her
own poor" The committee who
make this appeal say that they must
have assistance " ten-fOld greater
than the Legislatures scheme can az
ford, aud greater than the State of
Kansas can supply; :" that twenty
counties, with a population ranging
from two thousand to six thousand
each, are almost destitute of food
The case of Smith county, for instance,
is, that of its five thousand people two
thousand viii. be wholly dependent on
charity within two months, and of
the three thousand remaining not
htty families have surplus of provi-
sions for themselves, without eXpend-
ing a pound of grain IN SUPPORT of
their teams, which are to the farmer
indispensable. An absolute commuu-
ity of food, they estimate, would not
supply their families till April l.
These people, ray the committee. are
in rags, money less, resOurceless, and
the farmers of the eastern portion of
the State, though comparatively SPAR
ed, are yet too crippled by the disasters
of drought, lOcustS and chinch. bugs,
to be able to do much more than take
care of themselves. 1t is very hard,
they say, to realize that persons in
such country rs ours can die of hun
ger, yet that is, without exaggeration,

and hence they appeal to people of the
more favored portions of the country
for assistance.
