GENERAL FRANK p. BLAIR.

The death of General Frank P. Blair,
which was announced in yesterdays
LEDGER, will cause sincere regret
throughout the country. The news is
the more painful because he had so fer
improved recently from a long and pain
full illness as to justify a hope Of perma-
nent recovery. A few weeks ago when
in a sinking condition he underwent the
process Of TRANSMISSION OF blood from a
healthy person aud Immediately rallied.
he was able, day before yesterday, to
take a drive and no immediate fears
were felt in regard to his condition.
That evening in walking from one room
to another he was attacked with dizzi-
ness and fell, striking his head against a
piece OF furniture and rendering him in.
sensible. He never revived, but died
that night at half past eleven o'clock.
General Blair belonged to a prominent
political family, and acted no unimsor.
tant part in the raj and in politics.
he left Congress to 90 into the war, and
distinguished himself as a division and
corps commander, and was with Sher
man on the march to the sea. After the
war he refused to act with the Republi
can party, and in 1868 was nominated
on the Seymour ticket as the Democrat
candidate for Vice President. Subst
quently be was elected United State
Senator to fill a vacancy caused by tn
resignation Of Senator Drake, OF Mis-
souri,. General Blair's term expired il
1873 and he va not reelected. Sine
then i'll health hlskept him out Of publ
life.

CRIME-INDUsTRY.

II occurs to us that there has been
more crime reported this summer than
we ever read of before in peaceable
times. Murders, robberies, and outrages
on females are of such frequent occur
renee that it is an exception to pick up
a newspaper without reading something
of the kind. Yesterday we had in our
Geographic columns a startling account
of an attempt to rob an express train on
the Vandalia railroad, in Illinois, result
ing in the death Of an engineer, who wes
shot dead at his post. The robbers we're
only foiled in their purpose Of entering
the express car by the boldness and ad-
dress of the messenger within. Nearly
every day we hear of some atrocity in
the vicinity Of St. Louis. 1t seems that
the country, especially on the Illinois
side, is full Of able-bodied Migrants, who
pretend they have been working in the
harvest fields, who are ready to take ad-
vantage Of any unprotected family
either for robbery Or a worse
crime than murder. Even little
girls, mere iLfants, seven to ten years
old, have fallen victims to these mon
sters. In various parts Of the country a
similar state of affairs is reported. We
do not offer an explanation Of this moral
phenomenon, unless, indeed, hard times
and want of work have driven more peo-
pie than usual to a life of idleness and
desperation. 1t may be remarked that
the people are rather free to invoke
lynch law when such criminals are
caught, and that an impromptu hanging
of a ravisher excites no particular sur
prise or horror in any part OF the
try, These are not healthy or encourag-
ing signs. We need more Judicial hang
ings aud less mob law. East Tennessee
is leading off in this matter, and will
hang three OF the worst men of the age
on the 18th Of August, and this after
full trials before the Supreme Court.
Happily our " immediate vicinity is
freer from disturbances and crime than
usual. One reason may be that every
body seems to have work. Idleness
naturally breeds criminals as surely
g filth generates disease. This year,
from necessity and the gathering force
of public sentiment, loafers and idlers
are rarely seen in the city or country.
The people are making a long pull, a
strong pull, and a pull altogether to get
out Of their financial difficulties. Hence
there is no time for gathering about
%groggeries, and the lazy ones are shamed
into the ranks Of the great army of
workers. Virtue, temperance, and pros
perity follow industry as day comes after
the morning star. While we regret to
hear Of SO much violence and mob law
In other States, it is a matter rather of
pride and congratulation to point to our
own peaceable, prosperous state of
affairs. The moral and social aspect of
the situation is not less pleasing than
our material prospects.

A WORD WITH TAXPAYERS.

The time draws near when the tax-as-
SCISSOR and his assistants must make their
returns. Their compensation is small,
their labors arduous and the weather
hot. We know the most of them person
ally; they are men of capacity and zeal.
1t is not in their power to continue their
labors beyond a limited time, nor can
they remit penalties fixed by law. This
assessment stands on real estate forfour
years for State, county and municipal
purposes. An omission or failure to
have property assessed cannot escape
detection and will result in trouble and
costs. Nothing is possibly to be gained
by delay. Those who neglect to make
returns in the time prescribed, which is
less than a week, will be assessed anyhow
and probably at a not reduced rate. The
assessors deserve the hearty and prompt
cooperation of every good citizen. We
urge upon every one the duty as well as
advantage of making returns at once.
There is an assistant assessor in each
ward and district, whose office can be
found without inconvenience and who
will readily furnish blanks to those not
hitherto supplied. There is no inquisi-
torial formula about this. No maj is
required to value his own property or to
take an iron-clad oath. The odious fea-
lures of the old assessment act are
omitted, and this is perhaps the best law
the State ever had on assessments. Let
us take advantage of it, aud by a cheer
full compliance with its provisions aid the
assessors to make a fair, equitable and
uniform assessment Of the property in
Shelby county.

Using such agency and the company, and fully

c~essfully conducted.
The Industrial Exhibition Company is tho

The Industrial Exhibition Company. under
a special charter, granted by the State of New
York, is given authority to issue these bonds.
The Legislature of the State. recognizing the
great benefits which will arise from the sue
cess Of this enterprise. have exempted all the
real estate and property Of the Company from

Each individual who buys a bond becomes
an owner and an interested party, and when
he views the structure erected with his money

FOREIGN.

MADRID, July l0.-Among the prison
ers taken by the Alfonsists at Cantaireja
are a Carlist Brigadier General and one
hundred and seventy officers. A Lon
don Times Madrid dispatch says that
events of great importance are looked
for.
LONDON, July l0.-The Times, having
published some structures on the address
in favor of Henry Ward Beecher by the
Congregational ministers, DR.. Alexan-
der Raleigh, one of the signers, has
written a reply. He says that in signing
the address he never meant to commit
any portion Of the non-conformists to
his views, and adds that it is not a sound
principle to assert that because a man
may be blameable in lighter things he
is to be approached with an expression
of sympathy by those who are unspeak-
ably glad to believe he has shown him
self innocent Of. the heavier charge with
complete success. The letter concludes
as follows: :" never supposed that in
signing the document l was expressing
any opinion on Mr.. Beecher's sayings or
doings in general. l believe the Chris
tian sentiment of England will unani.
mously lament and condemn some things
which Beecher acknowledges. In the
course Of the trial he blamed himself
without stint. Now, l believe, he has re-
covered himself and will stand in honor
and usefulness as formerly"
All the foreign mayors, to whom were
sent invitations to the international ban
quet, at Guild Hall, on the 29th inst,

A special from Paris says the Memo
rial DiplSmatique Newspaper announces
that the Turkish students in Paris have
been ordered home. Many hitherto de-.
voted to the education Of these youths
will establish an institution in Constan-
tinople, offering equal advantages to
those of Paris.
MADRID, July l0.-The Carlist Gene
raj Darregary is actively pursued by
Alfonsists. 1t is believed he will at
tempt to take refuge on French territory.
Moscow, July lO.-The King of Swe-
den arrived yesterday.
PARIS, July lO.-The floods at Lisieae

away the debris. The damage is esti-
timated at eight hundred thousand dol

TIL July INTEREST.

The Nashville Banner of the Sth cop.
les various extracts from papers in the
State and out commenting adversely on
the default of the July interest. Some
people seem to regard this as repudia-
ton. We do not. The suspension Of
tax collections was a temporary relief
measure, which o expires by limita-
ton. The Banner concludes a long article
on the subject by saying very much to
the point, that the better way FORA who
are really friends Of the prosperity and
material progress of the State, irrespec-
tive of party, would be to cease whining
about the causes of these financial en-
barrassments, and substitute for idle lam
entstions some practical suggestions Of
a remedial character by which the situa-
ton may be improved. With the mag
nifcent harvest prospect in sight, we do
not entertain the shadow Of q doubt OF
the States ability to ultimately meet all
her liabilities. If her credit is affected
by present or recent default, steps
