BOLD BURGLARY.:AIh spite of the,
''hsrd times" the burglars are doing a
brisk business. On Thursday night
the residence of Mayor Robinson on
South Chestnut street was the scene
of their operations. The rascals ef-
fected an entrance by turning the key,
and unlocking the. north trout door
with pair fof .nippers which these
sprofessionals"carry. when they pro-
ceeded to the Mayors sleeping apart
ment on the second floor and got pos
session of his s'clothes--coat, vest and
pants-which they carried below and
event through" scattering the con-
tents about the rooms and in the yard.
They opened and rnmmsged bureau
drawers and made q pretty general
search of the premises. They final ly
took their leaye;carrying with them a
Ais gold magic cssea watch valued at
S0, . aot4N }e~eity. isilverA dollar
and small quanty of scrip. q
No clue has been obtained to the
perpetrators of the. bold robbery.
These occurrences are becoming
alarmingly frequent, and it seems Sai
though every train that reaches our
town deposited a gang of these light
fingured gentry. 1t is about time
that seme more efficient means should
be. adopted to- bring the villains 10

20 A,NARRow EsCApss-About noon
last Saturday while Mr.. s. sR. Poe
was engaged in driving . cartridge
from d revolverat his residence near
the park, he placed the breech of the
pistol upon the window sill Or casing
and wasdriving out an exploded shell
when the cartridge in another cham
Der was accidently exploded, the ball
striking him in the left side and pen
etEatin2 to the rib. The news of the
accident spread like wildtire and
created considerable of sensation.
Two physicians were summoned who
proceeded to examine the wound and
probe for the ball, but did not succeed
in discovering it. Mr.. Poe expressed
the belief that he had been shst
through and through, and he and his
.fieH1s apprehended the most serious
and, fatal Consequences and the phys
clans were, somewhat fearful Of the re-
snlt. Tds Wound ed man WAS put to bed

death was brought to light This
ended the scare and in about half an
b hour afterwards Mr., Poe was up, and
about attending to business. The bull
let had not gone. through him endwise,
but had passed ethretyh his clothing
and penetrated to the rib and bounded
out and found its way down between
his body and clathing into. his stock

quarter before ten o'clock o. the eve
ming Of Wednesday, the Al isss. the
saw mill OF Otis d.. Kingsbury, about
two miles northwest of this village
was discoveredito be on fire. aIrWhen
first observed the building was ablaze
! in all parts. The alarm was given and
the neiEhbors gathered with buckets,
but the flames had gained such head
way as to render their efforts unavail.
ing. and in a very short time the
building was en,irely destroyed. The
engine, which WAS in u low, shed like
part OF! the building was saved with
but little damage to it. !, The loss in
building and to machinery is estimated
at about $500. No insurance. 1t ii

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The United
States supreme court has affirmed the
judgment Of the supreme court of Mis-
sissippi in the cOtton-money case.
T. w. BAILEY.
The above dispatch refers to the case
Of Thomas, sheriff, UeTSuS VIM. B. Tay-
lor, decided in our supreme court at the
October term, 1868. The question in
volved was, whether what is commonly
known as cotton money, issued by the
State under an act approved on the nine
teenth day OF December, 1861, was re-
ceivable In payment of taxes. Our su-
preme court decided that all treasury
notes issued in pursuance Of that act,
being an act of the rebellion, were in
violation of the constitution of the
United states, and hence illegal and
void. The dispatch above hes reference
TO said decision, which has just been af-
firmed by the United States supreme
court. It Is an important matter for the
people of this State, aS it saves the pay
ment Of five million dollars.

alluded to the conflicting action Of the
Two houses Of our general assembly

Mr.. WADE has introduced in the
bou,se a bill that ought not to become
law because it makes a race discrimi-
nation. that above all things should
inst now be avoided. 1t provides that
the collectors Of taxes, imposed and
collected for the maintenance OF free
common-schools, shall keep in a we'll
hound book, to be exclusively used for
this purpose, separate accounts OF the
taxes received from white and negro
tsx-payers, and to keep the moneys re-
ceived from them separate and apart.
The money received from the white
taxpayer to be paid over to the officer
as now provided by law, to be exclu-
s4vely appropriated to the education OF
the white children Of the State between
the ages of six and eighteen years, and
tire revenue received from the negro
tax payers be exclusively appropriated,
under the laws now in force, to the
education of the negro children Of the
State betw cen the ages Of six and
eighteen years.

THE Nashville Union and american
notices that among those most clamor-
Gus about the burden Of taxation are the
large landholders, and says: at is
curious to 60 back few years, when
after the war, Edwin Paschall, an emf
nent old-line Whig, urged that the sub
division Of our lands was prerequisite
TO a recovery OF property. To accom-
plish this, he held that the State had
the moral, if not the legal, right to
graduate the taxes, so that, while every
owner of one hundred arabic acres
should pay a certain rate, each one hum
dred acres over that amount, held by
one man, should pay higher rate in a
constantly increasing ratio" That's
what we'll have to come to, or else con-
fess that il is right and proper the people
should be the slaves of those who revel
