told him, was q sure cure) he had cut, and

no avail--the COMPOUNDED thing would "get

One day Joe and another man, named
Kimball, went into the woods to get out
some house lumber. All that day his corn
troubled him dreadfully, and towards night
he took off his shoe TO look at the "darned
thing" He placed his foot on stick of
timber, and after rubbing and granting, and
swearing awhile, he took up mortising-
chisel and placed the edge upon his toe /;
then, turning to Kimball, he said:

More Gag Law Literature.

The habeas corpus case of A. G. Buell.,
arrested ut St. Louis, Mo-. for alleged libel
OF Senator Chandler. WIS argued before
Judge Treat of the United States district
court, Saturday. Col. Joseph D. Bradheed
counsel for the defendant, argued that while
the law of 1874 enlarges the powers OF the
courts of the District of Columbia, it does
not change the powers of other courts; that
an offender against the laws of tho United
States may be arrested there and sent to the
district where the oifense was committed,
but there is no authority to arrest an offender
elsewhere and send him to the District of
Columbia for trial. United States Attorney
Patrick, on the other side, quoted II number
of authorities to show that when the terrific
ry embraced in the District of Columbia was
ceded to the United States by Maryland and
Virginia, it was expressly provided that the
statute laws Of those states and the common
laws were to be enforced in the respective
portions of the territory ceded, and if an of
Tense against the laws Of the United States is
committed in that portion Of the District OF
columbia that formerly belonged to Mary
and, the offender may be arrested, no matter
where, and sent there for trial, the same rs
though the territory still belonged to Mary
land.
Judge Treat gave his decision on Tuesday.
He held that the gag law does not apply to
the Buell. case, and that recourse must be
had to the law of 1889, OF the indictment
under which Buell. was arrested, tho Judge
said that the person framing it had evidently
intended it 10 cover the case, but in tins
failed, It being clearly insufficient, and under
it Buell. was guilty of no oflensc under which
the court could take cognizaneo. An appeal
is to be taken. and it will come before the
United States circuit court during tho March
term. raa

A MIcROsCoPIC DISCOVERY

A brilliant friend of Colonel T. q.
Bethel informed the public through the
Appeal and Avalanche of Sunday morn
ing that he had seen one or tOo articles
in the LEDGER calling in question the
usefulness and public spirit" Of that
worthy gentleman. The anonymous
writer is SO very familiar with Colonel
Bethels affairs as to be able to give a
long list Of his large charities. We ase
glad to know and claim such a citizen
as Colonel Bethel as identified with
Memphis, although living most OF the
time in another State. But what puzzles
us is to find out how this fluent and over
jealous friend Of his manages to torture
lone or two" articles in the LEDGER
into anything derogatory Of Colonel
Bethel. II his name has been
mentioned at all recently it was in.
~cidentally in stating the fact that
Captain John H. Lewis had rendered the
newsboys a home and fuel until the LIST Of
January. The agent for the owner of
the building objected to the room being
80 used and sued out an injunction. The
case has gone into the courts, where 1t
now belongs. 1t has created some
amusement, though no prejudice, that
we are aware. Some people are very
sensitive, but we do not take a man OF
Colonel Bethel's 6ne sense to be one Of
that class, and in this courteous express
sion we mean no reflection on Captain
Lewis, who is about to become also a cit
izen Of another State. To diselaim any
purpose to affect the rights or d~erogate
in the least from the high standing Of
either Of the excellent gentlemen Who
are parties to this novel little lawsuit
would be s%uperauous, as nothing OF the
kind has appeared in these columns, nor
has there been any occasion for it.

.%TEX.PAYRRs.

Major W. W. Mcdowell, County At
torney, gives a critical opinion Of the
tax laws, in which he advises the tax.
collectors that they have no alternative
left bet to collect II per cent. upon all
taxes paid on or after November Is, 1876
together with 6 per cent. interest upon
said taxes from November /, 1874, and in
making up tax lists for sale they add
those to said taxes. This will make
something wei is per cent. that each
delinquent taxpayer will have to pay
on his real estate on or after the 18th Of
November. The general impression that
all penalties were forever suspended or
abolished, and that taxes due would
never more be liable to any penalty
seems to be erroneous. The people will
save money and trouble by paying their
taxes promptly. The collectors will
have no discretion after the l4th Of No
vember and having lost money all sum-
mer during q suspension of work, will
be disposed to and justified 10 Q strict
construction Of the Law. Pay up at
once, aud let the State and county and
city have the use of the money which is
so badly needed. Grumbling is out Of
the question. The people have had a
breathing spell such as is rarely afforded.

A GOOD NAN GONE.

We regres exceedingly to chronicle the
death Of Msjor John Somerville, which
occurred last week at his mothers near
Mason's Depot. he was a pure-minded,
noble-hesrted gentleman. he was a ma.
tive Of Upton county, a graduate Of
Chapel Hill University Of North Caro-
lima, a gallant soldier during the war,
and for nearly ten years a successful and
highly esteemed member Of the Mem
phis bar. His death will be lsmentei
by all who knew him. The County Cour'
elected him Superintendent Of Public
Instruction for Shelby county a year o
so ago, but his health failed him sooi
after, and he was not able to do full jus
tice to himself or the public, so he %
pointed q substitute for a time and final
ly resigned. The Memphis bar will TAX
suitable action to extol his virtues an,
commemorate his memory.
