Mormons whiting 4
waV Strangers

A duty assigned to the po-
lice was to watch all strangers
that came into Salt Lake City,
says the supplemental confess
sion of John d. Lee, and whit
tie every suspicious person out
of town. This wh1tling pro-
cess was peculiar. Some ten or
fifteen Mormons would get a.
round the man they wanted to
drive away, each with a keen
ground butcher knife, and a
piece of soft wood in his hands.
They were to crowd close up to
him and commence whiting,
all cutting toward him, but no
one apparently paying the least
attention to the stranger. Sur
rounded and threatened thus,
the poor man was compelled to
retreat from the town. On his
retreat he was surrounded by
whittlers whiting, whiting,
some of them making skittish
lunges toward his breast and
arms. IF he took his escort
quietly, very we'll. If he was
foolish enough to resist or
threaten, he was very likely to
be put out of the way.

Facts Versus Fancy.

An exchange very aptly re-
marks: Talk about the ennob-
ling mission of the Republican
party in the South, but here are
a few facts and figures that
might as well be taken into the
general account. During the
Radical-rule in South Carolina
the, Republican Printing Com
pany did the public printing,
Recently book showing some
of its private business transac-
tions has been discovered, which
throws an interesting light on
the pleasant way which the Re-
publicans had of governing the
State. The company received
the enormous sum of $225,000
for the printing for the session
of the Legislature of 1874,
of which they expended over
$4,000 in bribes. One entry in
the book is $17, ,S65 to the State
Treasurer, Cardozo, "for paying
out the money from the Treas
ury;" another is S10,304 to Gov.
Moses "for approving the bill;"
another is $1,000 to Senator
Nash "for services in the Sem
ate, and as Chairman of the FL
nance Committees" another is
$4,000 to Whittemore and Y. j.
p. Owen, "for services i'll the
Senate;;" another is $1,000 to
e. w. M. Mackey, Speaker of
the Chamberlain House last
winter, "for important servi-
cess" and another is 81 500 paid
to Tim Hurley for other servi-
ces. The discovery of the book
has spread consternation- among
the Republican leaders, who are
mentioned in it as recipients of
bribes.

The town Of Maple Grove,
Wis, is excited over q recent
Sunday occurrence there. The
people were mostly at church,
and in one house a II year old
boy was the only occupant.
During the absence of the fam
lily, man came to the house
completely enveloped in a beef
hide, with horns, tail, and all
complete, and so fitted that
nothing else could be seen. 1t
was known in the neighborhood
that the occupants of this house
had money, and there was there
at the time about two hundred
dollars. The object disguised
in the hide told the boy he was
the devil, and that he had come
after his money, and he must
give it to him. The boy an
swered he could not have the
money. The devil then told
the boy that he would have him
and kill him if he did not bring
out the money. The boy stepped
into the house as if he was a.
bout to comply, but instead of
bringing the money he brought
a gun and shot the man dead in
his tracks. The boy then ran
to the nearest neighbor, and,
finding only a woman there,
told her that he had shot the
devil at his house. The woman.
went with the boy, and found
that the devil whom the boy had
shot was her husband. ~

Thirteen persons were killed and
many more injured. Men women

THEDoWNWARD SLOPE.

IN Els
Down life's western slope alone
l seem to tread my lonely way;
Behind are years forever flown
Before me one eternal day. .fs.f ~
Ali am now indeed alone?
Is there for me no friendly guide?
No willing hand within my own? tt
No loving helper atmy side?
No one to earthly vision clear,
To cheer, to help? No mortal hand
No loving one-no friend is near ta.f
To guide me DER the 6arken'd strand;
Yet sweetly felt in waking hours,
And dimly seen around my bed,
AT night, when sleep the form o'erpowers,
Are darling ones the world calls dead.
They are not deadi They speak to me
In gentle accents sweet and clear;
Telling of joys that are to be
And of heaven that's ever near,
And soon this feebly-beating heart
Will cease the passing time to count,
Spirit and body kindly part,
The soul on wings Of light will mount
Oh, joyful thought! Oh, vision bright!
The lonely homesick soul to cheer!
Remain to bless my spirit sight,
That may know thee ever near;
Then the declining slope I'll tread,
With fearless steps and joyful heart
And cross the valley of the dead,
Nor sigh when calPd from earth to part.

The Bell Punch Law.

The new whisky law recently
passed by the General Assembly
of Virginia requires every drink
dispensed at the drinking saloons
throughout the State to be regis
tered, upon which certain tax
is levied. The instrument for
the registration of drinks" is SINH
lar to the "bell punch" used on
the street railways, one of which
will be put up in every bar-room
The law requires a tax of ]
cent per drink on lager beer and
28 cents on alcoholic liquors. In
the city of Richmond there are
287 saloons snd' 81 wholesale
liquor dealers, and assuming u.s..
600 inhabitants as The population
of the city, it is estimated that
there are 220 persons to every
liquor establishment, and that un.
der the "bell punch" law, the a.
N cunt of liquor tax to be paid
annually to the city of Richmond
will be about 1924 900, and possi-
bly more.
The State of Tennessee could
pay off the whole public debt in a
very short time by the enforce
ment Of such law.

A Maryland View Of the
Tennessee debt

NC AOAAOWluS cAlIdCIS Idh60
from an article in the Baltimore
Sun shows how our State debt is
regarded abroad:
The Tennessee Legislature, in
1873, passed a law providing for
the funding in six per cent. bonds
the past-due coupons maturing
on or before the 1st of January,
1874. This was acquiesced in by
the bondholders in the expecta-
ton, if not assurance, that there.
after the Legislature would levy a
sufficient tax to regularly pay the
interest. There has been most
wanton disregard of faith, how
ever, in the matter, Tennessee new.
er having levied a tax even equal
to that Of the States of Virginia,
though she has a much larger
property basis than the latter, and
more varied and, in the aggregate,
valuable productions. Only two
were paid as due after the
funding, these of July, 1874, and
January, 1875. When the sub
sequent July coupons matured
Governor Porter found, by reason
OF the inadequate levy, not a suf.
ficient amount of money in the
treasury for its payment, and it
laid over unpaid until September
of 1876, when be, notwithstand-
ing some outside opposition, dsci
ded that sufficient funds were on
hand, and entered upon the dis.
of the past due obligations
of the State, ,signifying at the same
time that payment on the other
that had in the meantime
matured should also be made
whenever sufficient means were on
hand, The Legislature, however,
at the following January session,
took efficient measures to stifle
any such honest impulse as this
by passing resolutions forbiddin 9
any other payment of interest till
ordered by that body. The same
before adjourEing al.
SO reduced the already inadequate
State tax, as if really designing
to further depreeilte the State Sc.
curities with the view of driving
a hard bargain with her cred
TORS = = s.
The proposition of the disinter-
,sted committee, as made at New
some time since, that the
except sixty cents on
he dollar, under a new funding
scheme of principal and interest,
nay be considered a generous one;
10 much SO that it will certainly
1e very unwise in the Legislature
If the State if it did not pass re-
unding law IN accordance with !
he plan proposed, and under
which the coupons are to be re-
'eivable for taxes, etc. The peO-
pie of the State should take the
natter in hand and compel their
representatives. to do what is right
n the premises. When years a.
20 Maryland was burdened down
With debt, the issue was made
'lear and distinct Of additional
BURDENS in order to pay in and !
estore the States credit. Hon
'sty triumphed most signalIy, and
lence Maryland credit now stands
IS high as that Of any State in
he Union. This is the lesson for
Tennessee. BY refunding the old
'onds into new ones at 60 cents
n the dollar, Tennessee's debt of
20, 100000 would be reduced to
10000, 900, the interest on which,
ven with the present rate of tax
tion, and as shown by the official
eport OF the annual revenue OF
be State, could be readily paid.
Iany doubtless consider Tennes-
ee not entitled to concession,
ence she will be very unwise if
he does not hasten to except it.
