Referring to the recent discovery that the
Treasurer of one of the largest Fall River,
Mass, mills, had, during the past three years,
smbezzled over $500, 900, correspondent of
the N. Y. Sun, writes:
GRINDING THE FACE OF THE POOR.
How beautifully the Fall River manufact.
urers must conduct their business when they
are compelled to cut the wages of their work
people year after yesr-ffteen per cent within
tie laat three weeks-besdes giving them an
annual vacation, without pay, to enjoy clam
bakes, digging their own olams, and stealing
potatoes to eat with tbem) and yet treasurer
''of high social standing" cen quitely annex
$460, coo, OF more, and no one be any the
visor!
The fact is, the Fall River manufacturers are
represented by only about twenty names, in
one extensively CROSSED and recrossed and
doabie dovetaited family. A man is President
of oae company, treasurer of another, direo-
tor of several others and a bank or two. His
sons, brothers, cousins, nephews, wife's relas
tivee (his own blood conneotioDs) are all
similarly provided for, aud the salesmen in the
stores of the New York and Boston commission
agents are all in the family, too. And they are
all "of high social standing.' 1t is nepotism
run mad think Fall River must be in pretty
bad way, or the family would never have
allowed this Chase affair to have become pub
lie. Print cloths, the staple production OF
Fall River, have been drug in the market for
three years, because the makers all over New
England have been trying to cut each others
thToats on q falling home market, instead OF
boldly shipping the goods abroad.

President Hayes has issued an order grant
ing Gsn. Fitz John Porter a new trial, and
naming Gems. sohOfeld and Terry and Col.
Getty as the court. Gen. Porter was cashiered
in 1862 for disobedience of orders at the second
battle of Manassas, where Pope's army was
badly whipped by the Confederate army
which was only half its size. Gen. Pope threw
the blame of the disaster on Porter, and 80 bit
ter was the feeling against him at the time
that he was found guilty on very insufficient
testimony. Gen. Porter has gathered together
a vast amount of new testimony, and as there
seems now to be general impression that he
was too hastily, if not justly, dealt With, his
friends are sanguine that the forthcoming trial
will be fair, and will fully Yindicate him and
re-establish his reputation aS q soldier The
issuance of the order for the new trial has
created great sensation in Washington and
throughout army circles generally.

Thanks from the Jail.


EDITOR CITIZEN do not know
whether you will ublish anything
that a prisoner writes or not. But
/ am requested by the prisoners of
this Jail to ask you to return our
sincere thanks to Rev. T. j. Dun
can for coming to the Jail and sing
ing and praying for them and to
ask him to come around as often as
he can or send some other minister
IN his place. Mr.. Duncan is the
first minister that has visited the
Jail for several years; We are thank
full that one so worthy has consent
ed to come and humble himself in
side the prisen walls and offer his
able petition up to God in our be
half. We are thankful that one so
capable of preaching and teaching
Gods holy word knows that God
can. save souls within the prison
walls as well as inside the walls of
the rich and free man. We are
thankful that we are permitted
once more to listen to the preach
ing of the gospel. AS many OF US
had wandered far from the path OF
rectitude, and feel that we need a
spiritual adviser in this hour OF
deep trouble, and we do sincerely
hope that Mr.. Duncan will not for
get us. And we Thank him very
kindly for the reading matter he
has sent US.
| suppose we owe this great priv
ilege partly to Mr.. Henry Arrow
smith, who is n good and Kind
Christian hearted man. and studies
every care and comfort for his prls
oners that the law allows him to
give them. There is not a prisoner
inside these walls tina; does not wish
him a long and happy life. As he
Is faithful in discharging his duty.
so he is faithful and impartial In
his treatment to his prisoners, and
l would advise all voting men to
keep such men in official position.
for they know not the day nor the
hour they may be as unfortunate as
ourselves, which / hope no one will
ever be. But one thing is sure, If
this should ever be any free mans
fate he will be kindly treated as
prisoner by Henry Arrowsmith. /
hope such men may always be able
to defeat hard hearted men who
seek the Office and have no sympa-
thy for their fellow men and whose
god is the money they get out Of
their fellow men. W. w. BRIGGs.

Tell Him to Come Home.

Two or three years ago at Cotton
Grove, Madison county, Tenn, j..
n. Patteson (Toney) in a personal
difficulty with a man named Sellers,
shot his antagonist and fed under
the impression that he had killed
him. Sellers recovered from the
wound and says Tony served him
right. and declined to prosecute.
But the whereabouts of Tony is un-
known, and he cannot therefore be
informed of these facts. His father
who lives in Pulaski, Tenn, asks
the papers throughout the South
and West to inquire for him or copy
this paragraph, so that he may be
relieved of the burden on his mind
and of the fear of arrest. The edi-
tor of the CITIZEN joins in this re
quest, with assurances that this is
no trap. 1t has the approval Of his
father, who is naturally anxious
concerning him.

The Tipping Law.

The following abstract from the
tipping laws OF Tennessee should
be carefully read and studied by all /:
The right to sell spirituous, vi
nous or fermented liquors in small
er quantities than a quart, To be
drunk at the place of selling, is
taxable privilege in the sense
of the 28th Section the End Article
of the Constitution.
This privilege shall not be exer-
cised by any person without Ii
cense from the clerk of the county
court; nor shall ssid license be
granted
To persons who are incompetent
as witnesses in courts of justice;
TO any person who has been con
victed OF violating a former license
by keeping a disorderly house, per-
hitting gaming in his house or on
his premises, or selling liquors to a
minor after notice from the parent
or guardian not to do so.
The applicant for license takes
the following oath:
do sOlemnIy swear or aft IA
that | will not, under the license
which | am about TO obtain, know
ingly permit or connive at any gam
ing for money or other valuable
consideration, IN the house in which
l may retail spirits, or in any other
place of which l may have control,
either directly or indirectly; and if
any person should game or bet to
my knowledge land l will exercise
due diligence to know. will give
information thereof tn the grand
jury OF my county at the next term
OF the court. So help me God
Every license issued without said
oath being taken taken aud en-
dorsed thereon aud in case of part
ners, unless taken and subscribed
by all the partners, or to a person
not competent to take the same,
shall be void.
Every agent employed in such bus
mess shall take an oath not to sell
TO minors, except as aforesaid, and
not to allow or permit any gaming
and to give information thereof TO
the grand jury of the county at the
first term of the court.
Any person who, after having ia
ken out license to retail spiritu
Gus or vInous liquors, violates the
oath required previous to the issu
ance OF his license, is guilty OF per
jury.
So, also, if any person violates
any of the provisions of the law reg
ulatIng the license for the sale of
spirituous or vinOus liquors, he is
guilty of a misedemeapor.
The provisions hereof are TO be
construed literally, 50 as to prevent
evasions ana subterfuges, and to eff
fectuate the objects had in view.
No licensed grocer OF. other per-
son in this State shall retail spiritu
Gus liquors on Sunday. The pul
ishment of this offense snail be
fine and Imprisonment at the discre
tion of the court.

Labor and Wages.

The New York Bulletin pub
fishes, as the result of investiga-
tions in various departments of in
dustry, q table showing the demand
Tor labor in that city, as compared
with 1873, and the comparative
rates of wages. The general result
is to indicate that wages have de-
clined about 81 per cent. while the
number of hands employed has in
creased by about l54 per cent. 1t
is very probable that like move
ment between employment add pay
has taken place in the country at
large. The decline IN wages is, OF
coarse, a misfortune to artisans and
laborers, but it this has been gener-
ally attended with larger demand
for labor and with. enlarged employ
ment for those willing to work,
while, at the same time, the cost OF
living has been greatly reduced,
the evils of the change have been
compensated by the benefits. But
for the tariff laws which produce
artificial dearness in many of the
most important articles of con
sumption, it would be clear that a
change for the better has taken
place as regards the situation of
manual labor.

About Editors, Etc.

Every editor, truthfully says a
contemporary who knows a thing
or two, loves to have his friends
and particularly his readers to call
on him. They belong to the same
family as it were. But when you
call to see the editor, don't stay too
long. Editors are generally very
busy in business hours If you
have a suggestion to make or news
TO communicate, state it in the few
est words possible.
Don't offer any excuses nor in
dulge in long preface to what you
have to say. Blurt it right out;
tell the editor you wish him well,
and bid him good day. Editors
dote on such men as that. They
love to receive calls from them.
Don't argue with them. Don't try
to do it, He has no time for argu
ment while at his work.
When you write to an editor for
publication, make it short; boil it
down. Pitch right into the middle
of your subject, and be sure to stop
writing when you are through. Ed
itors always like something fresh
and original in the way of cOmmu
nications. aud they are especially
fond of news. But the editor must
always be the judge of what wor-
thy of publication. OF course every
writer thinks his own production
the best just as every mother
thinks her baby the prettiest that
was ever born But the editor may
be so stupid as to have a different
opinion. II so it can't be helped.
Don't try to argue him out of his
notion. II he is too stupid to ap-
preciate good thing, you can't ex
pect to remedy his dizziness You
may think you are great deal
smarter than the editor, and that
may be true; but the editor may be
responsible for the publication and
YOU are not. There is no class of
men so anxious to please a majority
of the people as editors are There
is no class so covetous of the good
opinion of others. 1t is well to re-
membe that fact.
