ST LOUIS, June 19.-Since the mutiny
in the Penitentiary at Jefferson City, few
DAYS ago, there has been a very turbulent
spirit manifested by the cOnvicts, and much
INSTRUMENTATION and unruly conduct. For
two days all work in the shops had to be
suspended, and the prisoners kept in the
cells. Yesterday several ringleaders Were
lashed severely on the bare back, and
this will be continued from day to day I'M
til all those most active in the mutin are
punished. One of those whipped yester-
day confessed that plot to escape had
been planned, and an attempt was to have
been made to carry it out yesterday, but
the action of the authorities in cOnining
the prisoners in the cells prevented it. It
is believed the mutinOus spirit has been
queled and no more trouble will occur.

Shelbyville Gazette, June 10.
Mr.. Gunter, until within day or so,
has been one of Uncle Sans Off
Gals. In other words, he was UNITED
States Gauger" and subject to the or
ders of Collector Bryant at Murfrees-
boro. A short time ago he was in that
city-on business, we lnfer-and
stopped at leading hotel. 1t seems,
from what we hear, on the night our
friend Gunter stopped at the hotel
aforesaid, there also stopped colored
gentleman by the name of Napier. 1t
appears that Napier was also one of
Uncle Sans officials. His position
was that of special agent OF the
Treasury Department at Washington,
which, by the way, is position
a trihe higher than the one
held by Mr.. Gunter. But to the
point. When Mr. Gunter heard
that the negro aforesaid was
stopping at the same hotel with him,
and was alre ,dy ensconced in one of
the best beds, he became indignant and
mt once left, having first expressed HIM
self pretty freely about the admission
of negroes to hotels. Mr.. Gunter
sought other lodgings, and until within
a day or so past heard no more of the
matter. But the matter did not stop.
The authorities in Washington (Bris-
tow. for instance,) heard of it, and a
day or so ago informed Mr.. Gunter
that his services were no longer re-
q1ired. To be plain about it, Mr.. Bris-
tow took off Mr.. Gunter's official head
quickly, and Mr.. G. is now rusticating
about Shelbyville whistling to the tune

The State has just emerged from a
civil war in which thousands of her
sons were slain, thousands were bank
rupted, millions of property were taken
from Others, and ruin and famine now
stare all squarely in the face.-Franklin
ReUieto and Journal.
We do not know whether the above
was written nine years ago, or last
week, as the Banner. in which we find
1t, fails to give the date. How much
longer our go-ahead contemporaries
propose to keep the State lust emerg-
ing" from the war, we are not advised.
Nine years ago ruin did stare many
squarely in the face, and there was
starvation in few States south of us.
though We heard of none In Tennessee,
then or since. The Rerielv draws the
above sad picture 10 justify its next
sentence:
We are not able to raise S2,O00.O 900
to pay the bondholders' annual tribute,
and S2,OOO,OOO more to carry on the
SI2te government.
Although We believe Tennessee is not
quite so bad off as the Reuier seems to
think, we cordially agree with it that
the people ought not TO pay four mil
lions of State taxes under present cir
cumstances, or anything approaching
that figure. The last item of two mil
lions for current expenses would be
perfectly outrageous. 1t would out
BrownlOw Brownlow. Any clique,
class or party advocating such taxation,
we would not hesitate to denounce as
contscationists.
Wedo not suppose either the Rerieig
Or the Banner estimates the present
State taxes at 100000. Yet any
stranger looking toward Tennessee for
future home, might infer from the
above that such was the actual amount
the more so, because the Banner
gives it circulation without correction,
and with a comhendatOry head line,
though the last statement from the
Comptroller's Office, published in its
local columns, was to the effect that the
amount on which the State is called to
pay interest will fall short of S2+,-
100000. At SIX per cent, the interest
on this Will be 81, 100000 instead Ioi
two millions. Again, the running ex-
penses of the State range between
$500, 900 and 100000, instead of an
other two millions. Adding the two
items, as they actually stand, it will be
seen that the ReUie,v's rough estimate
nearly doubles the burden. Wethink it
is heavy enough, without any such
frightful figuring. The amount of
State revenues resulting from the forty
cent tax on property was, for 1873,
only 81 Dds, 900. 1t is worth while re,
membcring that this includes all tax
able property, personal as well as real
estate. 1t is with the desire of serving
the common cause we all advocate, that
% call the attention of our two con-
temporaries to the misleading figures
of 100000 for State officers. No
good cause is served by exaggeration
