third street, New York City. He,
like the other, however, when spo-
ken to on the subject appeared TO
be sacred almost 10 death that his
acquaintance with any facts perti-
out. In the first instance, he attempted TO
deny that he knew anything al all, but as
soon Is the name OF the other man Was
mentioned to him q change took place, and,
instead Of his being the Intercepted, he
turned the tables and assumed the role Of
the interrogation. He wanted to know what
had been said and how much his connec-
ton with the case was known. Being f.
nally satisfied that the whole story had
been told to the Herald representative he
seemed inclined to be more communica-
tive. 1t was, however, only by dint Of the
most strenuous cross-examination that
Price would admit the truth of all the ma
terial points given above. For instance,
although he admitted seeing Mr.. Beecher
coming into the house, as already describ-
ed, and the meeting between him and Mn.
Tilton, yet it was only by steady persis-
tence that his knowledge Of subsequent acts
was obtained. After converting with him
for several hours, he stated that the facts
related above in reference to the scene, and
the acts which he saw in the parlor while
PEEPING THROUGH THE KEYHoLE
of the library door, as we'll as while his
fellow.worker went in for his tools were
correct. When asked to come out in a
straightforward manner with clear, full
and decided statement, he declined to do 50,
saying that it was nothing in his pocket TO
tell what he knew, but that he might get
into trouble, and persisted in saying that
for the present he would say no more. He
stated, nevertheless, that if called into
court and placed upon the witness-stand, he
would tell he knew. lie had not volun-
teered any information, he said for the rea-
son that he had no time to spare to hang
around the court; that he had TO loyk after
his own work and to mind his own affairs.
BESIDES" said Price, 81 should get nothing
for my trouble, and l can't afford to lose
money. You have, it seems to me, all the
facts, and you do not want me to say any
more"

SHERIDAN THROWN IN THE
EIWhnE

Ben Butler regretted, IN the House,
the other day, that he had hanged only
one Mumford in New Orleans. Phil
Sheridan wanted to court-martial all
the white men Of Louisiana as ban
ditti." But here comes one, the
latchet Of whose shoe neither is worthy
to unloose. We speak Of Merrill. The
last we heard Of him he was only a
Lieutenant, but he is now called Cap
tain, and, things being quiet in Lou
isiana, he is on a visit in Ohio,
where be made a speech recent
" at Ironton. The Register of that
town reports him as saying that he is
now convinced the government made a
mistake in not hanging a few hundred
thousand Rebels" at the close Of the
war. He did not hesitate to chlde Lit
tie Phil for grcss negligence Of bloody
duty, saying he was indignant because
Sheridan didn't shoot down a few
thousand of those rebels and White
Leaguers." Merrill is secure for a
Major Generalship, if Grant works out
his third term programme.

COMPROMISING WITH A VEN
GEANCE

The.Union Paci6cIRailroad Company
offers to compromise with the United
States, to which it owes over $4,000
600 principal and 100000 OF. interest
paid on its behalf. It will be remem-
bered that the Credit Mobilier investi-
CATION developed how Congress juggled
the Government frst-mortgage on
this road into a second-mortgage.
Hence the most cogent and impudent
argument--made by the company for
the rendered compromise Is that the
Government cannot help itself. The
railroad president writes to Secretary
Bristow: THE Government has only a
second mortgage and the
company viii probably be utterly
unable to pay it. The letter goes on:
1T is manifest that the Government
viii be unable to collect its dues" IN.
less it pays off the first mortgage and
runs the road on its own account. The
gist Of compromise virtually forced on
the government is that the company
shall pay the United States annually
until 1895, the sum Of 100000, which
is only one-third of theannual interest;
after 1895, it.proposes to pay $4,000,
or half the yearly interest until the
original debt be liquidated az simple
interest, without compromising. What
say our readers to the boldness and
badness Of this new way to pay old
debts.

ARERELIIOrE ORGAN.

The Cincinnati Gazette is perfectly
willing to see Arkansas and the whole
South RENTED to chaos, but this tax
question affecting the North also, is
quite different, and it fairly kicks the
traces. 1t says bluntly: "The way to
get more revenue is to collect the taxes
already provided for. The way to Go
this is to put honest men on guard. :"
Could the most tbankless Democrat
say aught more disparaging to the
Radical Administration than that:
Worse still, it calls attention
to the "sectionalism" of this in
creased taxation, which exempts from
the ten per cent. horizontal tariff all
goods on board and bound for the
United States on Feb. 10, while 1t is
proposed to collect q half tax on
whisky already made or that may be
made after Feb. 10, found in the hands
Of Gstillers, rectifers and wholesale
dealers. The Gazette might have added,
as another sectional feature, that the
bill bears heavily on Western and
Southern industries, while the "hori-
zontal'' clause gives a bonus to those
of the more wealthy East.

As IF the Senatorial election and the
removal Of the state Capital were not
enough for the West Virginia Legisla-
ture to wrestle with, they find a new
conundrum thrust upon them. Rumors
being afoat that a certain Bank had
bribed the State Auditor and Treasurer
to place the public funds in that insti-
tuition, an investigation committee was
ordered, who reported that the Bank
President refused to testify. On being
called before the bar of the House for
contempt, that official very frankly
stated that he declined to answer be-
cause it would criminate himself. As
the vilest cannot be required to do
this, the House finds an elephant on its
hands, and does not know what to do
with him. To punish a man for not
eliminating himself would be something
new indeed. Meanwhile, until the Leg
islature settles the question, he re-
mains in the custody Of the Sergeant.

THOSE OLD GROOVES.
No Hope for Tennessee Until She Gets
Out Of Them.

NlaAAau0OEA N0lMAEAN4AAs
We agree with the editor Of the
Athens Post that it is hardly worth
while for the State to spend money IN
securing immigration while nearly one
half of the available labor it already
has is unemployed, and the other half
works at q very great disadvantage.
Our State viii be poor until our indus
trial system is ch,nged, and our peOple
are better and more constantly employ
ed. What we want is a diversity Of
prOducts-We must produce more Of
those things that we now purshase from
others. When we see the number Of
costly articles of common utility
that are brought here from other
places to supply the wants of
our people, we do not wonder they are
poor-the wonder is that they are cble
to pay their bills at all. Chattanooga
is doing better in regard to thework of
diversifying production than any other
city in the State, and yet she devOtes
too much attention to iron. There is
no better point in the Union for the
manufacture Of many other leading ar
ticles besides iron, and these facilities
should not remain unused. The atten-
ton Of our native population is direct
ed too much to trading and not enough
10 producing. Those who have n little
money seem to be imbued with the idea
that It can / a no other way be so prof.
tably employed as in exchanging what
the labor and skill Of other
communities have produced. If one
half Of those who employ their
talent and capital in mercantile pur-
suits would devote it 10 production
to manufacturing some useful article
which our people use and do not pro-
duce, they would make themselves and
the rer aiming half of the merchants
rich, give all our labOrers profitable
employment, and the State would speed
lily become prosperous and rich. As it
is, tie laboring people are halfthe time
unemployed, and when they have work
1t is such as requires little skill and
commands bat small compensation.
Under such an industrial system the
business for merchants is I ecessarily
small, and the number Of merchants to
transact 1t 'arge Their profits are
small, and we have a comparatively
weak mercantile community. Trade
languishes. laborers live scantily, and
the farmer wears away his soil making
corn to ship to his brother farmer in
Georgia, who wears away his soil max
ing cotton 70 ship to New England and
Europe. Tennessee and the South
must get out Of these old grooves.

LOAGrE,s WAY.

The city is being pasted over with
mandamuses by those who hold past
due bonds, which the Mayor repudiates.
The mandamuses will compel the city
to pay the amount Of the bonds from
the sinking fund provided for that pur-
pose; but the sinking fund, under the
instructions Of the General Council,
has been used in purchasing bonds not
yet due, in violation Of the plain pro-
visions Of the city eharter.-MeMphis
Ledger.
The process by which Mayor League
is endeavoring to destroy the credit
and prestige Of the promising young
city under his temporary charge, is
very similar to some Of the plans sug-
gested here for the Encouragement of
our State debt. As the Ledger bluntly
puts it, the Radical Mayor ''repudlates s.
debts already due, and devotes the
funds designed for that purpose to the
prepayment of debts not due. The
natural effect is to depreciate both, as
this double process involves repudia-
ton and estops the plea of inability to
pay. We are aware that Memphis is In
a far worse financial condition than
the State at large, but it is in conse-
quence of her own extravaganza, and
of leaving her finances to be managed
by such fellows as League; in no way
does it result from State taxation,
which constitutes less than oDe-tenth
of what her people pay annually. But
Memphis and her Mayor viii soon learn
that tennessee and our courts permit
no such fragrant violation of both law
and morals as is involved in the League
plan. In his Knoxville speech of 1872,
Representative Gibson asked "What
would be thought of man who threat
ened to pay none of his notes in order
to give his friends a chance
to buy them at a few cents
on the dollar? Would we not
denounee him as fit for the penitenti-
ary?" So we may ask Of city which,
with money to pay its debts, repudiates
them and devotes that money to bid
ding in at discount debts not due-is
not that city destroying the foundations
Of its credit, to its certain sorrow In the
early future, when the Sonth and South
west, relieved of political tbraldom,
shall bound forward in a career Of new
prosperity? But Tennessee courts viii
see Justice done to the creditorn of
Memphis, and if she does less to her
own, she viii play false with her State
sovereignty, Offering a new argument
for increasing the Federal powers, IN
der the pl~a that States may be forced
to respect the rights of others.

Times
On Sunday last, pOnderous essay,
embodYing the official views Of the
Administration on the political situa-
ton. was completed by paid scribe
in this city. That evening 1t was re-
viewed in manuscript by Attorney Gen
eral Williams, who had melted 1t, and
by him was taken to Grant. The lat
ter approved 1t, but for some reason its
publication was delayed until to-day.
The article appeared this morning, In
the last of all Of the journalistic organs
left to the President and his hackers,
the National Republican. Three
columns of double loaded type are de-
voted to an admission that the Repub-
lican party is in peril OF course
this is shown. in hideous colors, to
mean the peril of the entire couhtly.
The national danger Is represen ed to
be in the unconquerableseces spirit
and hatred Of ali free institutions still
rampant In the South, and the pusil-
Luminous behavior of most Of the
Northern Republicans. This Congress
is warned that the executive is in pos
session of facts which prove that the
rebellious constituency of the South,
and their Northern allies, intend in
sisting on having the following ques-
tons settled in coming Congresses;
l. Pensions for their Confederate SOL
diers. their constituents. 2. Payments
Of debts Of the late Southern Confed-
eracy, owned and held by their constit-
uents. 5. Payment for slaves set free
by the proclamation of President Lin
coin, claimed by their constituents. 4.
Payment for seizures and destruction Of
property by the United States troops, In
suppressing the rebellion. 5. Repudi-
alton Of the national debt, in which
their constituents have and can have
no possible pride or interest. 6. Reor-
ganizatiOn of all the Southern States,
on such a constitutional basis as per-
mits Of the legal disfranchisehent,
now attempted by force, of the blacks.
The independent press is held re-
spOnsible for all timorousness of erst-
while loyal party leaders, and all good
Republicans are tearfully objured too quit
needing what is chastely termed the
sinking breath of the opposition press.
The whole article Is a despairing howl,
to drive the present Congress to the
scratch and make 1t pass as many pro
scriptive and audaciOus Southern OPP
preston laws as possible.

WHAT THEY DEMAND AT THE
NORTH.

There is sound sense in every word
of this paragraph in the Boston AdUer-
tiser; "The sectional spirit viii never
be conquered by sweeping denuncia-
tions Of an intelligent population as
'banditti, 'mmd erers, and 'assassins.
Gen. Butler has done more within a
week to perI etuate strife and rancor
between the sections and the races
than can be corrected in a generation,
without a prompt and decisive repudi-
alton Of him and his allies. Let the
country bear in mind that he is already
repudiated in Massachusetts,, and
let the Southern people rest
in the conviction that this Com
monwealth and the great majority of
the Northern people have indicated a
strong disapproval of all his clan. The
North wants peace and good govern
ment, and in this respect is of one mind
with the South. What is now doing is
the desperate throw Of political gam
blers struggling for another chance, as
revolving, IN most particulars, to our
people as to theirs. Their day of pow
er TO do mischief is nearly over. Pa
thence, a short patience now, is the vir-
tue they and we are called upon to
show. The North cannot be led to a
causeless war, for white or black, by
any leader, whatever his rank, his Of
fee, or his fame"
