Senator Key has written letter
in defense Of his speech on Nor
toms Mississippi resolutions, which
is altogether gratuitous. The press
of Tennessee have not assaulted his
speech. On the contrary, they pro-
nounce his speech as altogether in
consistent with his vote. 1t was
his vote Ia favor of the resolutions
and not his speech against them
which the people condemn.

The United States Court, in this
city, has been occupied, since We'd
nesday last, with the trial of the ca
ses for alleged counterfeiting ofU. S
currency against w. w. Gordon,

Neill The United States is repre-
sented by Lewis E. Parsons and L.

or, of Athens, E. I. Taliaferro of
Pulaski, Tenn, Cowden & Arm
strong of Lewisburg, Tenn, and
Walker d Shelby, ID. p Lewis, and
w. NJ. Lowe, of Huntsville The
defence demurred to the Indict-
ment, and the demurrer was argued
with more than ordinary ability by
Messrs. Pryor, Taliaferro, Cowden
and Lewis pro, and Parsons and
Day contra. Without disparage-
ment TO the other able gentlemen,
it is due to Mr.. Taliaferro to say, that
we heard several of the Bar speak
in terms Of special commentator of
the legal learning and acumen, and
logical power, displayed in his speech
The argument on the demurrer last
ed from Wednesday to Saturday af-
ternoon, and was overuled by
Judge Bruce. On Monday, the
case, as the charge is conspiracy
to defraud the Government by coun-
terfeiting, &c, is but one case
was taken up on the merits. The
United States introduced their first
witness, Anchisi, an Italian, in the
u. s. Detective Service, who was
the chief operator, through subordi-
nate detectives, in hunting down
and arrosting observation-disclosures

Deputy u. s. Marshal King
Finds il Convenient TO Bid
FarewelI.tO n ashyiiIe.


At the April term of the United
States Circuit Court last year,
man named Allen Pitts, a resident
Of Giles county, was indicted for
having a key of illicit brandy in his
store. 1t was discovered concealed
under a bed in the rear Of the house,
by Deputy United States Collector
Morris. Pitts submitted the case,
and was fined $3.50 and costs, and
given the alternative. of paying or
securing the fine, or remaining in Jail
until it was paid or settled in some
manner. The amount and costs,
the latter amounting TO 1920, was
paid, and Deputy United States
Marshal S. NJ. King gave, as we are
informed, a receipt for the money.
A few days ago, Pitts was again in
dicted on the same charge, and is
now in the city under bond to appear
for trial. He has In his possession
the receipt given him by King,
which will probably save him from
being fined a second time. We IN
derstand that about ten days ago,
King babe farewell TO Nashville, and
is now in some place north of the
Ohio river. As the $257 20 cannot
be accounted for, it is supposed
that King alone knows what became
of it. Pitts referred the matter TO
the authorities in Washington, and
as they notified the officials here Of
it, King was discharged and went
north.-AnaerieGn 22d
We understand that KING at
tempted a pretty sharp trick upon
Mr.. Pitts when he found that his
rascality was about to leak out. He
sent word to Pitts that he was in
dicted on a very serious charge be
fore the Federal Court, and advised
him to leave the country. Pitts did
not get scared, and so King was the
man that had to vamoose. This
action of King was known by Atty
Gen'l Hughes and the officers of the
Court at Nashville, and even by
Grant and his whole civil service
crew, and instead Of indicting him
they turned him loose and told him
to leave. If an unsophisticated
backwoodsman in Middle Tennes-
see is caught in mile Of an Illicit
still, this Court in Nashville stands
ready and greedy to devour him
but when one of its officers black
mails a citizen it simply discharges
him and tells him to hide out.

The trial of Col. w. w. Gordon,

He was in Pulaski Sunday, but we

High rates on railroads and swim
ding charges at Philadelphia hotels
bid fair to deter tens Of thousands
from investing in the centennial.
A Washingtonian, who has just been
there, says that, at The Centennial
Hotel, he was charged 81 for din
ner, lodging and breakfast, and at a
second-rase hotel he was subse-
quently charged 81 per day for a
room alone. 1t prices have been
advanced like this, what may not be
expected when the big show is in
full operation and the city Is crowd
ed with visitors? Those who intend
visiting Philadelphia during the
coming summer ought to be
warned Of these extortions in adj
vance, so that, If they choose not to
submit to them, they can take along
supplies of commissary stores and
camp out.-Americau

The Knoxville Tribune explains its
position on the Key matter 1t "did

expressly denied. and do deny, the
right of either branch of congress
except possibly for determining the
qualifications of its members-to in
vestigate the local elections of a
State, and, with this view, we could
not have voted for Morton's MissIs-
sippi resolution. And indeed, we
are frank to say that we have re-
garded Keys vote as a non seguitur
of his speech, We would nave pre-
fired that so liberal speech
should have been used as the pref

Death of Mart Lewis.

The Paris (Texas) Press Of last
week announced the death on the
9th of April of its senior editor,
Capt. w. II. Lewis, who was famil-
iarly known here as Mart Lewis.
he was a native of Columbia, and
married Miss Rebecca PattesOn,
daughter of our citizen, Mr..
j. Nelson Patteson, while he was
yet in the employ of the chancery
Clerk and Master Of Pulaski, James
McCallum, Esq. Soon after his
marriage he moved to Texas, where
he first taught school we believe,

lery, attaining TO the rank of Cap
tain, after the war assumed editorial
control and joint proprietorship OF
the Paris Press. His surviving
partner closes a notice of his death
as follows:
Now that he is dead and gone,
there can be no harm in us speak
ing of his goodness and nobility.
He was one man who ever breathed
the air of heaven-true to every
thing in this world, except himself.

Of the 23d says:
The local inspectors OF steam vessels
for the Memphis district, Messrs. j. A.
Gronhaur and James Ralston, have rem
dered their decision IN the collision case
Of the steamers Grand Tower and
Shippers Own, by which accident the
latter vessel was sunk and lost in the
Cairo harbor on the 18th of June last.
Capt. Crouch of the Shippers Own yio-
lated the law IN leaving port without
halyards and pulleys in proper order tor
hosting lights, and by having his signal
light exposed under the hurri.
cane deck instead of on the
cllimneys. ii. V. Thompson, the pilot
of the shippers Own, acted with faulty
judgment, 1t was part of his duty to
see that signal lights were in the posi-
ton designated by law. He admits that
he discerned the approach of the steamer
Grand Tower. yet he failed TO sound the
alarm whistle, notwithstanding his hay
ing previously expressed fears of col
lision. There are no facts tending to at
tach fault to the officers OF the Grand
Tower and they are exonerated from all
blame. For the information OF Pilot
Thompson, who has charged that Pilot
Hutson of the Grand Tower had no
legal privilege to navigate the Ohio, it is
stated that a pilots license extending

tween st. Louis and New Orleans. in
