Alleged Counterfelting.

The Nashville Americans Deca-
tur special of Sept. 9th mentions
the following named persons as
then being under arrest on the
charge of completely in the circula-
ton of counterfeit money. James
and Andy Edwards of Lewisburg,
Marshall county, Henry NJ. Neil
and James r. Neil, wealthy farmers
of Petersburg, Tenn, and w. w.
Gordon, merchant and deputy
Sheriff of Lynnville, Tenn.
We wish to say in relation to the
above, that while it is true that the
persons named above are under ar
rest, on the charge of very grave
offence against the laws Of the land /,
and while, if found guilty, all good
citizens must desire the execution
of the penalty adjudged to be due,
still, we deem it due the good name
of our fellow citizens to refrain
from what must be mere conjecture
ut best, in the matter. We feel
called upon, however, to say that
so far as Col. W, ". Gordon of
Giles is concerned, his reputation,
not. only among his neighbors, but
throughout the entire county, has
been considered spotless-his name
above reproach~ We beg leave to
refer the reader, in this connection,
to a letter of our regular eorrespon-
dent from Col. Gordon's home,
Lynnvllie, in this issue.
We copy as follows from the ed
itOrial columns OF" the Nashville
American touching the general dis
tribution OF counterfeit money
throughout Giles county:

DAY DAwNs IN THE EAST
Pennsylvania Democracy De.
clare for GreenbacIxs.

The following are the resolutions
of the Pennsylvania Democatic
Convention, ON Finances.
z. That the contraction of the
money currency and circulating
medium heretofore made by the Re
publican party, and the further con-
traction proposed by it, with a view
to forced resumption of specie pay
ments, has already brought disaster
to the business of the country and
threatens general bankruptcy. We
demand that this policy be aban-
dOned, and that the volume of mon
ey be made and kept equal to the
wants of trade, leaving the restora-
ton of legal tenders to par in gold
to be brought about by promoting
the indutries of the people and not
by destroying them.
8. That the policy already initi-
ated by the Republican party of a
polishing legal tenders, and giving
the National banks the power to
furnish all the currency, will in
crease the power of an already dan
gerOus monopoly, and the enormous
burdens now expressing the people
without compensating advantage,
and that all National Bank circula-
be promptly and permanently retir-
ed, and full legal tenders be issued
in their place.
8. That the public interest de-
mands that the Government should
cease to discredit its own money,
and should make it's legal tenders
receivable for all public dues, ex-
cept where respect for the obliga-
tion of contracts requires payment
in coin.
10. The extinction of the pres
ent National banks and the estab-
hshment.
in their stead of a system of free
banks of discount and deposit I'M
der such regulations as the States
respectively may prescribe, and no
paper money except such as may be
issued directly and upon the faith
of the Federal Government, afford
ing practically a currency based on
the gold and silver and other prop
erty of the whole people of the
country.
II. That with this declaration OF
principles and policy we arraign the
leaders of the Republican party for
their extravagant expenditures ard
profigate waste of the the peoples
money; for their corruption; for
their peculation; for their contempt
of constitutional obligations; for
their extortionate increase of the
salaries of our public officers; for
their oppressive, unjuse and defec-
tive system of taxes, finance and
currency; for their continuance OF
incompetent and corrupt men in of
fee, and for their general misman-
agement of both State and Federal
Governments; and we cordially IN.
vite the Liberal Republicans, and
other men without regard to past
ASSOCIATIONS, to cooperate with us
in expellig from power and estab-
fishing such an administration of
our public affairs as characterized
the purer and better days of the re-
public.

LYNNVILLE.

Mr.. EDITo Although the quiet
of our town is almost daily broken
by the announcement of something
new, we are not altogether so re
piete with interesting material as
L. L. n. seemed to imagine at his
last writing.
Perhaps the biggest excitement
that has occurred in the history of
this village, was produced by the
arrival, on the 8th inst, of several
officers in the secret service of the
United States. They had IN charge
three prisoners-Mr. Edwards and
Messrs Neil, all of Marshall county,
and arrested for counterfeiting. We
learn they are now undergoing a
preliminary examination at Decatur,
Ala. A number of individuals from
Marshall county have been strongly
suspected of dealing in this spuri
Gus currency for several years, and
it is to be hoped that all concerned
will be speedily brought to justice.
Soon after their arrival here, our
whole community vas startled by
the intelligence that Col. W. W.
Gordon, who has always been re-
garded as one of our Uery best cit
liens, was implicated. Col. Gordon
has been one ofthe leading business
men of this town, ever since its ex-
istence. His general character is
that of honesty and integrity. Ev
erybOdy we may say, placed i'm
plicit confidence in him. His
friends here loudly proclaim his
innocence, and believe he is wrong
fully, if not maliciously, accused.
1t is known that one or two ciTeuzn-
stances have transpired which might
have caused suspicion to rest upon
him, but these can be easily re-
moved, and no doubt will soon be,
come public, and be fully under
stood by the whole country. We
have heard many express the opin-
ion that his preliminary examina-
ton will result in his honorable ac-
quittal. The above is not said
with any desire to screen the gull
ty from merited punishment, but on
account of a general belief in the
innocence of the accused.
We were glad to learn that on
yesterday, Mr.. j. W. Mitchell,
who has been very i'll with a con
gestive chill in Illinois, is recover
ing, and expects to return home
soon.
Several of our good people, among
whom are Mrs. HELEN Walker, and
Mr.. A A. Dickerson and lady, are
up at Culleoka, attending presby-
terry. Rev Mr.. S. went up yester
day, but we see him back this even
ing, and expect he will leave hun
cry flock at home and go to Pulaski
to preach tomorrow.
Mr.. Buford Gordon reports a
challenge game of croquet between
Capt. Tom. BOatright's club at Old
Lynnville, and Capt. Hoyt Flem-
mings' of this place. on the 9th inst,
in which Capt. Fs boys defeated
Capt. BIS girls. Capt. B. of cou rse
did not like this, so he renewed the
challenge, calling to his assistance
Mr.. 7. Digger, champion of Maury,
and Mr.. d. Higdon, champion of
Lawrence, and played the game
over again. It resulted in another
success to Hoyt, Andrew and Bu-
ford. ANON.

but finding that he could not do
justice to the occasion in that pos
ture, he climbed a tree, and getting
firmly eDseonced astraddle of a
limb, he commenced his discourse
thus: "Men and brethren, when
ever in the varified perigrinations
of thought through the wide ex-
panse of exhaustless amplitude she
strikes upon a variagation of ideas
which in their iilimitable verbositv
and precociOus paucity exude moth
ing upon which the mind can grasp,
she forthwith draws her wand of de
struction and strikes at the delud-
ed wretches and breakes" here the
limb broke and the DR.. finished his
excoriation with a grunt. They
carried him home on the spirit level
and the straight-edge, and the con-
vention adjourned. In the mean
time committee changed clothes, and
when the corteage reached the Will
age, Judge White took the Capt.
around behind the chimney and
with prophetic dignity and auspi-
cious knowingness, remarked in a
still small voice l Told YoV So.

I'm Tennessee the money has been
principally distributed in Maurv
and Giles counties. The latter
county and Limestone county, Ala
bama, have been flooded with the
queer" 1t has been mostly put
IN hands of the farmers and the
poorer classes, who are little able
to sustain the losses which are thus
entailed upon them. The counter
letters have gone to farmers, pur-
chased their produce and live stock,
and then paid them in fifty-dollar
spurious Treasury notes, some
times getting as much as forty FIVE
dollars back in lawful currency.
They have disposed OF the produce
and cattle as best they might at the
nearest market, and thus profited
both ways, turning their worthless
bills to the best possible advantage
Farmers have gone into Pulaski
with what they conceived to be
good money, and have been as
founded at being told of its utter
want of value. Many have, on this
account, been forced to postpone
payment Of debts created in the
purchase of agricultural implements
and machines"
Now in relation to the foregoing
we must confess to the most pro
found astonishment at the state
ments of our Nashville neighbor,
the American. We were totally
ignorant of the state of things said
to exist in our county of Giles.
The fact is, previous to the arrest
of these parties last week, there
was not only no excitement on the
counterfeit money question, but
not even a suspicion of its circula-
ton in the county. Surely the
American is misled in the matter.
The idea that the farmers in many
instances have been unable TO pay
their debts by reason of having re-
ceived spurious money in exchange
for their produce, had not been
heard of at all by US until we read
it in American of the 18th. Sup
posing that our merchants, who
furnish the farmers with agricultu-
raj implements and plantation sup
plies, would reasonably know of
this state of things, if it existed,
we took it upon ourselves to inter
view them personally, and out of
twenty business firms whom we
catechised as to this sweeping allie
cation, we found just twenty who
knew nothing of such a state of
things as the American published
to the world in it's issue of the 18th.
We think our neighbor credits
Giles with several millions of bogus
currency in excess Of the actual
circulation of the same.
If the American deems it due

Editors.

If an editor ommits anything, he
is lazy. If he speaks of things as
they are, people get angry. If he
CLOSES over or smooths down the
rough points, he is bribed. If he
calls things by their proper names,
he is unfit for the position of an ed
itor, If he does not furnish his
readers with jokes, he is a mullet.
If he does, he is a rattle
head, lacking stability. If he con
dennis wrong, heis a good fellow, but
lacks discretion. If he lets wrong
and injuries go unmentioned he is a
coward. If he exposes q public
man, he does it to crafty spite-is
the fool of a clique or belongs to
the eouts" If he INDUCES in per
sonalities, he is a black guard; if he
does not, his paper is dull and in
siped.

In Memoriam.
A Friends Tribute to Mary j.
Gilmore.


Died-at the residence of her step
father, Mr.. Charles Smith, September
10, 1875, NARY j. GILMORE, aged Is
years.
Yes, the pitiless, impartial hand of
death has taken from our midst this
pure, sweet girl, whom some of US,
judging from her youth and robust ap-
pearance, expected to outiiVe us by
many years. But the strong as well
as the weak must yield to his wither-
ing touch, and pass through the shad-
owy portals of death. There is no time
of life that we do not feel il is hard to
see our friends die. but / have often
thought the severest blow that can be
dealt a parent, is, when after much
love, patience and care have been be-
slowed in preparing a child to live, and
Just as long cherished hopes are real
lied, they arc taken away, and all hopes
and expectations with them. So was it
with Mary Jack, just trembling on the
verge of wOmanhoOd, the grave opened
at her feet and she sank helplessly into
its cold embrace. I was closely assOci-
ated with Mary for some months, and
do not think her life and character
could better be described than in the
language of her venerable and beloved
teacher, at her funeral service. GEN
tie, dOclle, studious and obedient, she
was loved by every one, at home and
at school. At an early age she en-
braced the religion her father, Rev. -
Gilmore, proclaimed to sinners, and be-
ing firm and steadfast in her purpose,
her christian virtue shOne pure and I'M
dimmed throughout her short life. She
will be missed by her teachers, class
mates and friends, but how much she
will be missed in the now desolate home,
none but the sorrOwing inmates can
tell. To the fond step-father, whom
she loved so well, the gentle mother
and afteetionate brother, no one can fill
Mary Jacks place. To them l would
say, weep not for her as one lost for
ever. God has only called her to him
self, ere her tender feet should tread
the thOrny path so many must pass
over, and now she awaits your coming
at the pearly gates. Meet her there
Then the circle Will be reunited for
ever.

Mr.. EDITOR Il see the Caesars"
alias ''Wasps," are disposed to ex-
ult over the defeat they admins
tered to the "Hyenas" of Bethany
last week, and l think a little
truth always helps a matter of his
tory. The game was very close for
some time, when one of the "C3-
sars" remarked that if they didn't
beat the ''Hyenas" they would quit
the business. Thereupon the ely
enac" commenced to play off and
let them beat by a score of 40 to AT,
purely and simply opt of compass
sion. This was the first match
game of the "Hyenas." The "C@-
sars" were the "Wasps" until the
Pulaski boys got hold of them, and
"Hyenas" did not wish to force
them to another change of name, or
run them entirely out of the field.

Old John RObinsOn's Big Show
November end.

For obvious reasons we are unable to
give old John Robinson's mammoth adj
vertisement space in the CITIZEN this
week; but we have agreed to make room
for it in the next issue, and we will
most assuredly do that much for the old
man. In the meantime we invite at
tention to the following extracts from
the Jackson Wing and Tribune, 18th:
OF Robinson it can be said to a GER
| tainty, he never failed in carrying out,
showing and performing what he ad-
veTtised to perform. This trip of his
makes fifty-fOur through the southern
states. In and among them all there is
a universal verdiet Of excelsior. His
proclamation" is out, and what he
| says he means. The show is colossal,
a caravan of wonders, embracing a col
] lection of animals seldom, if ever seen
before, and bewildering the spectator
| with arenic feats almost beyond the linn
its of human comprehension. Besides
the varied other att ractions, he has in
the animal department eight mammoth
| elephants, representing every specimen,
| all of which have been broken to har-
ness, and viii be driven in the grand
street parade; in addition to which,
! they will, at each exhibition, all be per-
! formed in the arena. A herd of living
| girafles. Four zebras, attached to a
/ golden chariot. The only red-maned
sea lion ever captured. The rhinOcerOs,
or unicorn of holy writ. A pair of giant
Ostriches. The arenic displays, dazzling
| feats of horsemanship are unsurpassed.
These and more are promised by sold
John Robinson" whose word is as good
| as gold.
