that time, relates TO us q story which
deserves 70 60 10 record and charged
to Gen. Grants credit. After the
fort had surrendered, the Federal sol
diery began plmdenng the people in
the vicinity of Dover. Quite a num-
Der of these soldiers visited Cum5er-
land Iron Works, and finding there a
large lot of bacon, they at once levied
on it, CARRYING it on beard of the
boat and down to Donaldson. The
gentleman above alluded TO remonsta-
ted, telling them that the bacon was
private prcerty, and belonged to the
company. 1t did no good, they took
it any way. The gentleman then
went to Gen. Grant in person, and
stated the case to him. The General
ordered not only the bacon to be re-
turned TO the Iron Works, bat that
it be hung back in the smoke-house
where it had been fonnd.

No Appropriations for the Mar.
shnts.

Knoxville Chronicle: No appro-
priation was provided by Congress
for the payment of United States
Marshals and their Deputies, and it
is important that the people shall
know why. The reason is, the parti-
san majority in that body refused to
make the appropriation, except with
conditions that would hive hampered
the President in the discharge of his
constitutional duties. and rendered
HIM powerless TO enforce the laws
which he was sworn TO execute. The
result is, the Marshals will be unable
to discharge tho ordinary duties Of
the courts, and serious embarrass-
ments will follow in the administra-
ton of justice. We have an example
right here at our own doors. Owing
to the delay aud failure of Congress
to make the proper appropriations,
We are TO have no United States
Court at the regular July term. Mar
shhls can not now make arrests, sum
mon witnesses and jurors, not per-
form other services necessary TO the
Courts.
This, gentle reader, is one of the
Injuries Of a Democratic administra-
ton. If they can not have their own
way they obstruct the wheels of gov
eminent and create all sorts Of coufu
sion. If they had been allowed to
elect John c. Breckenridge in 1860,
they would not have inaugurated Sc
eession and rebellion. If they could
have repealed the laws which provide
for Federal Supervisors and deputy
Marshals to keep ~repeaters, ballot box
stu ffers, red shirt brigades, BULLDOG
ers from taking possession of the bal
lot boxes, The Democrats would have
permitted an appropriation TO enable
the Narsbals tc perform their orli-
nary duties, If purjured scoundrels
were allowed TO fill the boxes with
tissue ballots and court votes that.
were never polled, without being sub
jectea;to tho oversight Of Federal
Supervisors, the administrations Of
iGsticein the Federal Courts would
not haze been interfered with and
the lawsef the La, a would not have
been nillifed in this way.

Judge KEY ON state Rights.

CincinnafEC Commercial: The fol
lowing is an extract freP private
letter written by Postmaster General
Key to a personal friend in Tennes,
see:
The Northern people believe they
were successful in Il last contest.
They assert that this contest was in
favor of the Union and that the Ma.
tional Government is the paramount
authority and represents and embod-
les the clements of National soyer
eighty, aud that the authority Of the
State is subordinate thereto. AS long
us slavery existed there was good rea-
son why the slave States should ad-
here TO the doctrine Of State rights.
They had n domestic institution
which did not belong 10 all the States,
and which largely had to depend on
oil the State authority and power to
maintain it. But now that institu
ton is gone, and | know of no special
prerogatives or Institutions belonging
TO US, or requiring our support, that
do not belong to all the States alike.
A great mi take in tho South is the
idea some of our people have that the
Federal Government is the enemy Of
the States, and consequently their
passions and preiqdices arc often ex'
cited against it. When you look
around you can find no Just reason
for this. The benefit conferred on
our people by the Federal Govern
,neut are not considered and appreci-
ated as they should be. Look Mt the
postal system, aud the expenditures
for river improvements, and public
buildings, etc. All this costs in our
State, at least, more than the revo-
pucs raised in Tennessee ly tho Fed

The 4th at waterville.

The celebration of the glorious
fourth at Waterville was indeed n
grand success. As carly as G o'clock,
Cleveland was in q stir--cyerybody
fixing to go to the lakes. The larger
portion Of the crowd were there by 10
Il. m. The grounds were seated and
everything arranged for the enjoyment
Of the crowd. The boats were all in
good order and bathing suits for the
boys in readiness. The forenoon was
taken up in bathing, boat racing and
u general mingling Of tho crowd. AT
2 D. m. the band arrived and after play
ing a piece, Col. p. b. Mayfeld was
called upon and delivered II short ad-
dress in lis usual earnest style, which
was very entertaining to all present.
After the address came the ballson as
cension, which we regret did not meet
the expectations Of the crowd on ac-
count of the balloon getting torn while
Initiating. After the balloon ascension
the ball opened and the remainder Of
the evening was enjoyed by the dam
GERS hugely.
Taking everything into consideration
the celebration was q grand success,
and was enjoyed BY all present. The
-| ~
crowd was variously estimated at from
4 ,OOOsto ! 500, and the best behavior We
have ever seen on such an occasion .
There was but one drink man TO be
seen on the grounds and as It were, lie
was of to himself. With this excep-
ton We failed to see any iitoxication
or hear any swearing. 2

A FRIGHTFUL FATE.
Chased by a Prairie Fire...Three Per.
sons Burned to Death.

Topeka ks Cor. st. Louis Democrat
Another terrible prairie fire is re-
ported from Butler creek, north of
Lincoln Center, Lincoln county, which
destroyed everything in its path, and
resulted in the death of three persons.
1t appears that about four o'clock in
the afternoon, Mr.. Montgomery, one
of the well-to.do farmers of that sec
ton of the county, and his son, a boy
Of about twelve, were in the field at
work, when they discovered a fire
coming from the west, and they
stopped their work to keep the fire
from the hedge, when the wind sud
denly changed to the north, blowing
very hard and cold, and bearing before
it a second fire, which came with the
heetness Of a horse. II seems there
were two fields near on either side, and
seeing their danger, the boy started 10
one field and the father to the other.
The boy was caught in the flames
and fell to the ground instantly. A
neighbOr by the name of Isaac Pfaf,
who was passing on a mule at the
time, gallopcd up TO Mr.. Montgomery
and induced him to mount the mule
behind him aud ride to the field. Mr.,
Montgomery mounted, but, seeing his
boy fall, lost all presence Of mind and
threw his arms around Mr.. Pfaf,
catching the bride. reins and holding
the mule still while they were envel-
oped in the flames. Both men dropped
to the ground and the fire passed over
them. Tho mule ran a short distance
and fell dead. The two men arose to
their feet, aud the wind and tho fire
took their clothing from them as they
walked TO the nearest field about 100
yards distant. Mr.. Pfaff's feet were
so badly burned that his shoes fell
from him as he walked. A Mr.. Man
ming came to him from tho nearest
house with a couple of quilts,
which no wrapped about the two
mon, and carried them to the house,
lie then carried the dead boy to the
house. Both men were perfectly
rational. and conversed freely
with those around them up TO within
a few hours Of their death. Mr..
Montgomery lived about two hours
and Mr.. Pfaf lived until about II
o'clock that night. Mr.. Montgomery
leaves a wife aud seven children, most
of whom are grown. Mr.. Pfaf leaves
a wife and one child, having buried
two children quite recently, one just a
