CHANG AND ENG.
Ne-Embalming the bodies cf .ie
Dead Twins.

| PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12-12:15 A. Nj.
The bodies of the Siamese Twins, one
OF which was considerably decomposed,
are now undergoing the process of re-
embalmment, and the operation will
necessarily consume a period of three
| or four days. The full contract in the
legal bond of agreement between the
wives OF Chang and Eng and the Phila-
delphla physicians is so binding that
the committee on Autopsy are obliged
to proceed with the most extreme
care.
WHILE THE PROCESS OF RE-ENBAI.M
MENT
was going Oh, however, photo
graphers, draughtsmen and artists
generally employed by the Colleges of
Physicians and Surgeons were kept ex-
ceedingly busy, and both pictures and
plaster casts were taken of the exact
appearance of the bodies, of the con-
Meeting link existing between them, of
the contour of the faces, of the unpre-
possessing and shrunken condition of
the limb, and i'll short, not one point
was omitted that would enable tie
doctors to comply with the require
ments of the rigorous legal bond that
would establish success from tho con-
ception until the final fultilment of the
proceedings.
THE CONNECTING LINK
was shrunken and decomposed, and the
general appearance of the twins are
frightful. Still, as the bodies really
were, SO were the casts and photo
graphs. Conformed front, contour,
and perspective views were taken, and
while at this time the surgical knife
has played no part, there has nothing
been left undone that would give to
the fraternity a full and infinitely ac-
curate representation of the bodies at
the time of the opening of the metallic
box and prior to the application of the
dissecting instrument. The knife can
not be applied for several days to come,
because the embalming fluid needs
time to enable it to diffuse itself to
every part.
ONE LIFE IN TWO BODIES.
The general opinion Of the physicians
at present is that the verdict of the
London doctors, rendered years ago, is
correct, namely: The pressure of
the connecting link caused the weaker
OF the tawin to faint, and hence the
blood must have flown from one to the
other. . 1t is generally believed that
the extreme shruuken appearance Of
the communicating bond could not be
50 great as it is were there not within
it arteries and channels OF the vital
fluids of life. From the proportions of
the link when the twins were alive and
the measurement now there IS very
evident decrease, which at this prema-
ture point does much to corrobcrate
the verdict of the London DOCTORS
Two surgeons will take part in The
Autopsy, attended by two accomplished
aratomistz. The duties Of eacL pair
will be distinct. Report states that tn
knife cannot be applied until The end
of the present week.--Ncic YosL

HOLDING IHETR WHEAT.

We find some remarks on this sub
jcct in the Pddvcqh hcaiuckiaa which
are of interest to Tennessee farmers
Just at this Jun, ture. 1T is truethere
has been good wheat crop generally,
and if the supply was all retained in
the country there might lie 4 suiiicicncy
of breadstufs. But how is this
to be done: The farmer has
more wheat than hc needs for
home consumption and has been
looking forward TO the sale Of his sur
plus to pay some pressingengagements.
IL he refuses to sell he cannot pay.
The Patrons Of Husbandry of Gala
way county have resolved that no
wheat be sold to spectators. This Is a
move in the right direction, but, unless
the Changers who have money viii
come to the relief of their impecunious
brethren and let them have money, they
Will be forced to sell their surplus of
wheat. We suggest to the Changers of
Galloway and other counties to take
action on this subject. Their resolu-
lions not to sell wheat will amount to
nothing unless the farmers who are IN
debt can be helped to money by loan
OF otherwise to help them over the
hard places"

Judge Muse. the other Republican can

''the party of great moral ideas here

to create the national debt, and
by voting for the act which con-
verted many millions of non

interest bearing bonds, he is
doubtless endeavOring to evince his re-
pentance in direct, practical way.
For years the Radical party a the
north has been kept alive by the cry
that the Rebel Democracy wanted to
repbdiatc the national debt, and it IS a
rather significant fact that an ex-Fed-
eral Colonel. and an ex-Radical Con-
gresham, is the first lnan to come be-
fore the people and openly proclaim a
doctrine heretofore supposed to be held
only by copper-heads of the worst pro-

summer when Radicals fall ont by the
wayside over the national debt.

THE DISTRICT TAX.

ing the War. tf
The following letter from Hon.
Horace Maynard TO q citizen Of Jetfer-
son county Is published in the hHor.
piiie Chronicle of Tuesday;
KNoxvtLLE, July 10, 1871 Dear
Sir: have yours of the 9th request
ing from me statement concerning
the collection of the district tax.
At the special session of Congressof
July, 1851, direct tax, or tax upon
land. was imposed of twenty millions
of dollars on the entire United States.
The amount to be paid by each State
was fixed in the law; and the States
were allowed, if they chose, to pay d.
rectly from the State Treasury, II not
collectors were to be appointed under
Federal authority.
The States not in rebellion paid from
their treasures through the action of
their several Legislatures.
The next year Congress passed an
amended act for the appointment of
commissioners to collect the unpaid
direct tax from the States IN rebellion.
Commissioners were appointed for
the several States South, and collec-
tons made in those parts held by Fed
eral authority.
Those appointed for Tennessee be-
gan collecting in and around Memphis,
sometime in 1868, and gathered large
sums.
The collection was continued, in Ten
uessee as well as in other Southern
States, until after the close of the war,
when it was suspended temporarily by
act of Congress as a measure of relief
to the South, and has not since been
resumed.
There remains some two or three
million dollars uncollected. As in every
other case where taxes are imperfectly
collected. it operates as a relief for
those who do not pay at the expense of
those who DO.
The tax for the whole State Of Ten
nessee was between $500, 900 and $780,
600, of which not far from one-half has
been collected, principally in Middle
and West Tennessee.
Writing without access to documents,
and entirely from recollection, l can
not be as exact as / could wish, and as
other wise l should be.
I am very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
HORACE MAYNARD.

THE nAILRoADx TO ryin kKsCUE.

THE RAILROADS To TJiE RESCUE.
In discussing State finances, and the
possibility of tightening our burdens
without resort to dubious devices, it
should be remembered that the term
for which xarious railroads have been
exempted from taxation is expiring
On some it has already expired, on
Others it ceases this year. Nearly every
railroad in the State becomes liable to
taxation next year, In the advance
sheets, already published, from the
forthcoming Report Of the Rarean of
Agriculture, we floticean estimate that
the addition to our taxable proper.
ty from this source alone will be seven
ty millions of dollars. We have heard
it estimated at eighty millions, and
some go so far as to expect one
hundred millions. We prefer to take
the official estimate of the Agricultural
Bureau, which cites this among the
resources OF the State IN the chapter
entitled "a Word to Immigrants. :"
Our home people are perhaps just a
trihe more interested in it than immi-
grants. The railroads have contributed
much toward developing the State and
enhancing the value of real estate.
Hitherto State legislation has been very
favorable to them in this matter of ex-
emption. The agreement with them
is now expiring by its own terms, and
henceforth its property will contribute
its share toward the State revenues.
This accession of seventy millions to
our taxable property is an item that
should not be ignored in discussing
our financial condition.

On the Civil Rights issue, which has
been forced by the Memphis neg rOes
with even more of odious fervor than
here, the Tenth Congressional District
is by no means a doubtful one. 1t is
true that In 1872, Barbour Lewis re-
ceiyed 1868 votes in the three coun-
ties now constituting that district,
while the combined Democratic vote
for Congressman at larEe was only
1895. The last State censes gives 1S,-
927 white voters in the district to H.
SO blacks. These figures show that
while the negroes polled pretty near
their full strength, just half
of the whites stayed at home.
We do not believe there are
two thousand white men in the district
IN favor of Civil Rights. The one
thing necessary is to bring out the re-
serves, and Memphis viii redeem itself
beyond a doubt. a Congressional
Convention has been called to meet at
Bolivar, Sept. s, and the people viii
unite in solid phalanx to vanquish
Civil Rights Lewis with his barbarian

CAPT. JOHN CowDEN Is urged for

State by such prominent planters as
Gen. Chalmers and DR.. Peters, and by
i large number Of steamboat owners
and commanders. The Memphis Ap-
peal says Of him: He was the first
ofliving men, SO far rs we have learned,
to condemn, in unmeasured terms, the
whole scheme of levees, and to assert
the necessity for a ship canal from New
Orleans itself to deep water, even as
he was first to advocate the diversion
of tributary rivers into the gulf and
into one another. His views have been
adopted wherever there is neither a
bridge, costing eleven million dollars,
to be maintained by combining com
merce to its present routes across the
continent, nor a towboat company to
grow rich while wheat and corn are
thus made valueless in the northwest. "
