LEES CONFEssION.
A War "Reminiscences.
Kingston East Tennesseean.

Considerable excitement was occasion
ed during last week in the Paint Rock
district, growing out of the arrest and
examination of Calvin Pope and Osborne
Whaley, charged with the murder, dur
ing the war, Of a man by the name Of
Billingsley. The preliminary examina-
ton was had before Esquires TaIiaferro,
Byrd and Miflin, and lasted two days,
some fifty or sixty witnesses being sum
moned. James Sewer, Esq, appearing
for Pope, and D. Nelson, Esq, appear
for the prosecution.
The testimony shows it to have been a
cruel, cold-blooded murder, by whomso-
ever perpetrated. Bilingsley sympa-
thized with the South, and thereby
probably made himself obnoxious to
Union men, and which finally cost him
his life. The manner of his taking off
is testified to by Whaley, wo has turned
States witness, as follows: That for a
pecuniary consideration paid him by
Pope, he hired himself out to decoy Bill
Kingsley from his house to a certain place,
where Pope lay in ambush ready TO shoot
him. He succeeded in getting him out,
when he was, as he states, shot dead by
Pope. Per contra, there are numerous
individuals to whom Whaley confessed
that he, himself committed the murder
The Justices, however, after hearing
the evidence for the prosecution There
was none offered for the defence decid-
ed to send the prisoner on for further
trial, and required bail in the sum of
S., GOO Whaley was also held in the
sum of 81 600 for his appearance. when
called for.
Neither had given the required bail
when last heard from, and arrangements
were being made TO confine them in the
Loudon jail, the prosecution Directing
to our Jail on account of relationship be-
tween the prisoner and our jalor.
Pope WAS indicted for this murder two
or three years ago, but for want of evil
dence, or some other cause, the Attor-
ney General entered q nolle. Whaley
left the country at the close of the war,
and has, as we are informed, since been
living in the mountains of Georgia, and
now makes his appearance under the
promise of immunity from punishment
by turning State evidence.

Weighing Cattle by measure.

The following rules give the
weight of cattle approximately:
Take the length of the back from
the curve of the tail to the fore-end
of the siloulderblade, and the girth
around the breast just behind the
forelegs. These dimensions must
be taken in inches. Multiply the
girth by the length, and divide by
IA. If the girth is less than 8 feet.
multiply by II; if between 3 and 5
feet multiply by Is; if between and
z feet, multiply by % if between z
and feet, multiply by 81. If the
animal is very lean, one-twentieth
must be deductisd-and il very fat,
one-twentieth must be added.
Another rule: Take all dine nsion
as before. in feet, and then multi
ply the square of the girth by the
length, and that product is $50.
The result will be pounds. If you
desire to know what an animal will
dress multiply the live weight by
the decimal, $685. the product APP
proximates to the actual net weight
very closely.

extraordinary expenses about the
Executive Mansion, $124,404. Mr..
LincoIn's last year was. time of in
fation and high prices and unusual
demands upon the President, yet his
expenses that year we're only $l2,-
900 greater than Dir. Pierce's. But
in time of profound peace, when
President Grant dispenses no hospi-
talities, but accepts q great deal, his
expenses, in addition to his double
salary, are about double any his pre-.
decessors. It is right that the EX-
eeutive should live in a respectable
style as becomes the Chief Magis.
trate OF a great country, but when it
becomes a money-making business
for ring of contractors who sur
round and fiatter the President, when
that President is neither dignifed
nor a man of fitness for the position,
and the people see him growing rich
and affecting the style of liyeried
shoddyism with which he associates,
it is enough to make them murmur
in these hard times and TO suspect
that something is wrong. Many of
the Woodworking. economical people
of this country can hardly get bread
for their families. When they see
public officials of high or low degree
rioting in high living it is-calcplated
to produce dissatisfaction. and shows
to all who are not blinded by par

There is a demand all over the coun

A correspondent of the Jonesbor-
ough Journal, writing from Hawkins
county, makes This reference to the
late decision of the Supreme Court.
The picture Of the one soul made
happy is so Gfe-like that we can
imagine " Nefs "calarapin round
as periodically indifferent to gener-
al intelligence as thirty years ago:
The decision Of the Supreme Court in
the Railroad case, whereby the East
Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Company
is released from the obligation of opeT-
ating the branch road TO Rogersville was
altogether unexpected. Nearly every
lawyer who heard the cause argued was
Of opinion that il would be decided ia
favor of Hawkins county. That there
was doubt in the minds Of the Judges
about the propriety Of the decision Is
shown byth fact that o new hearing
has been granted. This tics the matter
mp for another twelve months. Only
one man in Rogersville seemed to be
satisfied with the action of the Court.
If he was honest i'm his opinions he was
certainly born half century too late.
He ought to have come into this breath
ing, busting world when nothing louder
than the coachman's horn ever wakened
an echo among the mountains of East
Tennessee. He has at his tongues end
all the arguments against railroads which
were urged by the ignorant when steam
was first employed as a means Of transit.
Armed with these traditional weapons OF
stupidity and equipped with the reason
ings of the Elder " elleru upon the adFap-
tagcs of turnpikcs so admirably SCI forth
in the PickWick Papers, he can be seen
haranguing small knots Of people on the
street corners. IIc has been heard to de-
clare that the county and the country
would be better of without railroads,
and he points back with pride 20 the
days when tile abundant corn crops Of
sold HAWKING were spread over the
carcases Of many Eat hogs and driven TO

followed her, and in the presence Of his
sister had shot her first through the

MAKYvLLE, Tenn, July II. 1875.
To the Editor Of the sforristown Gazette:
AS much is being said through and by
the newspapers of the country about the
Centennial of next year. and as am sat
ished that my friends everywhere will
expect me there, and that thousands of
persons would not go, if they knew that
would not be there, and as I do not
wish that any of my friends should be
disappointed, desire to say, through
the columns of the GAZETTE, that do
not calculate on being present on that
occasion. From experience, I have
learned that the first meetings. perform
ances, &c, of almost every kind is
failure; and l am of the opinion that
such viii be the case with the Centen-
NAL of next year, and this is why I am
not going. Our people need experience
in almost everything they undertake, be-
fore they can make success of it, and
l think by the time the next Centennial,
after this comes around, it will be worth
going to; at least I propose rfsking the
thing, and expect to be at the next one
without fail, and would suggest just
here, that the next Centennial after the
one now up, be held at Knoxville, as
many of the residents Of that place and
vicinity have never been at a meetin' of
that kind, and Knoxville needs a gath
ering of some sort, anyway. We would
propose having the next one at Mary
vile, but that we expect to nave hang
ing here soon, which viii be quite
treat to our citizcns; and further, that
many of our citizens have learned to play
croquet, and would not attend Centen-
NAL if held here. THos BAsCUM.

The Mountain Meadow Murder
ers in Court.


BEAVER, UTAH, July 20.-In court
this morning Judge Sutherland, couu-
sci for Darne, said he had found q
fatal defect in the Indictment which
he had intended to overlook and 90
to trial on it, but finding Lees case
would be first tried, and Darne's not
reached this term, he asked that the
indictment be qqashed on the ground
that the crime was not alleged to
have been committed in this terri
tory or district, nor in any country,
but simply in Mountain Meadow
valley, without any designation,
whereupon Mr. Carr arose, and pre-
scented new Indictment, which
charges Darne, Elliot Welder, VIM.

The substance of John .. Lees
confession is that thirty Mormons,
with tile assistance of large num-

from their entrenchmcnt by flag of

was done under orders of the leader
of the Mormon Church that he took
