Many years have elapsed since we OBJ
served such intense excitement, as that
which prevailed here, on Sunday morn
ing last, as two persons had beed arrested
on Saturday night, |. Il. Thomson and
J. D. Davidson, charged with the robbery
and murder of r. c. Jackson, The news
spread rapidly, and soon the citizens
came fiocking in from every direction I'M
til quite number had collected, all of
whom seemed to be more than anxious
to get a peep at the prisoners. Mr..
Fields, detective who resides in Nash
vile, having been employed was here
several days giving his entire attention
and endeavors to ascertain the guilty
party or parties. Having made some
| important discoveries, he became salts
fed that the matter might be worked up
more speedily, by obtaining some colored
assistance, which he did without delay,
by procuring two colored detectives, Jack
Smith and Whitlock Fields, who, we must
say, acted their parts well. 1t having
been discovered that Mr.. Thomson had
been suspicioned, they went earnestly at
work on him, and gained his confidence
and succeeded in obtaining sufficient evi-
dence, to cause the arrest of the parties
above mentioned. The prisoners were
sent to Columbia and placed in Jail for safe
keeping, and brought back to this place
On Monday morning for trial. Mr.. Thorn

the closest business habits. They ar,
self -made men, and il ever young me,
deserved the patronage Of the people o
Maury, they do.
Great excitement prevailed on our
streets last Sunday morning, over the
announcement that two men had beeI,
arrested in Mt. Pleasant, charged with
the murder of r. C. Jackson. Mr.. Jack
son lived in Columbia before the war
and was loved and esteemed by all, for
be was good man in every respect
The excitement became very great
when the prisoners were brought into
town by Esq. Ricketts,, Capt. Cooper,
Mr. Williams and other citizens of Mt.
Pleasant. There was nothing talked
about during the day, scarcely, except
the murder and the manner in which
the arrest was made. ALI eyes sought
Mr.. Fields, the detective. We under>
stand that negro detective secured the
evidence which led to the arrest. The
negro detective from Nashville, went to
Mt. Pleasant as a rock mason, and Mr..
Fields Travelled as "horse DOCTOR" The
persons arrested were 1. r. Thomson
and ]. ID. Davidson. They are wood
workmen; the latter is from Georgia.
Thomasou is said to be p splendid rifle
shot, and can see pin-scratch one hun
dred yards off, so powerful is his eye
sight. The prisoners were carried back |
to Mt. Pleasant, Monday morning, fer |
preliminary trial. Elsewhere we give |
synopsis OF the testimony.
Monday last, a negro man went tn
John VOss' grocery, and bought some
groceries, and handed John five dollar
bill TO take his pay from, which was done.
Soon afterwards he discovered that the
bill was counterfeit, and went and found
-he negro. The negro told him that he
got it from Cheap Johns clerk. They
both then went up to Cheap Johns
'tore, and asked him about it, and no
1enied that be ever gave such a bill, (it
being Chicago bank note,) but, that he
lid give him a good five dollar bill.
Tuesday morning Voss got out a war
ant and had Cheap Johns clerk arrest
ii, charged with passing counterfeit
money. The parties had a hearing be-
ore Squire Holman Wednesday. Faux

Good TemPIars at Mt. NebO.
The Good Templars had dedication
meeting on Wednesday night of last
week, at Mt. NebO, which for numbers,
beauty and talent, surpassed anything
that has been attempted in this county
yet. Tue gathering was occasioned by
the dedication of new Good Templar's
Hall on the second anniversary of the
formation of the Mt. KebO Lodge, which
formed two years ago with twenty-siX
chartered members, and now numbers
one hundred and twenty. The speakers
OF the evening were r. M. Mckay and
J. B. WoOdside, of Columbia. There
were about three hundred persons pres
ent, about one-half being ladies. Three
lodges were represented, and the gay
dresses, bright lodge and temple degree
regalias, with green festOOns and wreaths
ct. !, ;,I, tI,o 10

The services we're opened by the pre-
sentatiOn of bible by the Mt. Nebo BIZ
bic Association to the Lodge, which was
very neatly done by Mr.. McKennon;
was accepted on the part OF the lodge in
beautiful little speech by Miss Nc
Bride, after which the dedication speech
was made by Brother Mckay, who spoke
about one hour; and from the way the
boquets came shOwerinE in at the close,
he seemed to have pleased his audience,
and especially the ladies. After Broth
er Mckay, J. B. WoOdside delivered a
temperance speech, lasting about one
hour. Alter that Levi King gave in his
experience i'm the business, which, by
the,way, covers a heap of ground, TAX

Lodge, the hymns, and all the work was
conducted by the Worthy Chief Tenn
plar aud assistants, with order and de-
cOrum, and nothing occurred through
out the whole evening to mar one of the
most pleasant temperance gatherings
that ever took PLACE in old Msury.
With hearts filled with love TO God, our
cause and our fellow~man and strength
ened with faith, and hoping that God
will abundantly revive His work and
prosper his cause, each little cI ovid scat

their respective homes. ,Fhs speakers
were most Hospitality entertained by

hearts are in the good cause.

at least, been respectful to Mr.. Chap

is being manifested in tho gospel relig-
ion, at this time. Sunday-schOols watch
over the children, and churches care for
their m mbeTs; but still, good field for
useful labor may be found among the
young men of almost any community.
Several months ago, some Christian
men of Columbia formed our Young
Mems Christian Association. They
proceeded to choose Board of Directors,
and these in turn, elected the officers for
the ensuing year, Although the Assoc
citation has been in existence only y
short time, it has about fifty names OLE
its books, though the membership
ought to be largely increased.
1t almost any young man will look
| back upon. bis past career, he will re
member that he has had some time
which he wished to use to some good
| purpose. Look at the young men or
Columbia, and you will see a power
which must beexercised, and if it is not
| properly directed, it may engage in
some unworthy undertaking
Now the object of our Young Mems
Christian Association is to improve the
moral and spiritual condition of the
young men of Columbia and ofits vicin-
ity. It's regular meetings are held in
the Circulating Library room, on the
second Monday in each month. Almost
every night during the past month, the
ndS D6cn hSDJ open AZ niEnE. so
that the young men could find num-
Der of the best books to read, and
hearty welcome.
DIR. Smith closed his address by urg-
ing all the young men present to attend
the next meeting of the Association,
with the determination of becoming
members and working in earnest.
Assessment of Corporation Taxes.
To the Editors of the Herald and Mail:
The statement in your last issue. that
the assessment of the property of the
city of Columbia, for the levying of the
taxes for 1875 would have to be assessed, |
to conform to the late act passed By the |
State Legislature, is mistake. The |
laws of the city require, that the assess
ment of property in the city for city |
purposes shall commence on the 10th |
day of January, 1875, and that the assess
or shall make return of this assessment |
roll to the Recorder OF the city on or be- |
fore the 10th day of February, 1875. The |
Recorder shall advertise the same for /
ten days for inspection, after that |
time, the tax books will go into the
hands OF the city Marshal foI collection.
All this was done before the late law |
was passed and cannot affect the ASSESS
meDt of 1879 for city purposes.
The assessment made by the present |
assessor, will govern the city taxes af-
ter the present year.
