MUsCATINE, July 9.-WilIiam Teets, a
we'll known farmer, living ten miles south,
east of this city, was murdered yesterday
afternoon, about one o'clock in his
hay field, with club iu the hands OF VIM.
Picker;og. The cause of the dastarlly act
seems to have been family troubles The
murdered man Teets was u son iD law of
Mrs. DickersoD, widOw woman who en-
ployed Pickering as farm hand on her
estate, and between whom improper iGti
macy has been charged; an immediate
marriage being expected. Teets and his
wife it is said demonstrated with the
mother who doubtless communicated the
conversation to Pickering at dinner yesteT
day, whereupon he started on his murder
ous errand, going to the field in which
Ioets was engaged making hay. Picker
ing approached Teets md few sharp
words ensued, whereupou Pickering dealt
the latter two terrific blows with club
Teets falling, he kicked the head OF the
body at his feet in a fendish manner and
turIed to the witnesses, sep of Teets

are cheaper than others-that is to say, they
produce more brilliant colors at less cost.
1t is alleged that our market is flooded with
the Objectionable article, and that they are
mainly found among the cheap fancy
stocks. Certainly the matter is OF sufficient
importance to demand inquiry and action.
A bill to make it a misdcmeanor to sell
any articles of wearing apparel dyed with
poisonous substances has been introduced
In the Senate, and if its provisions are suffi-
GENTLY stringent it should become a law.
There is no reason why the people should
not be protected from this danger by statu-
tory regulations just as well as from the
sale of diseased meat. Innocent persons
purchase the injurious articles without a
thought that their lives will be imperilled
by wearing them, for no one but an expert
can determine when a dye contains poisons.
There should be strict surveillance over
tho trade, and q heavy penalty should be
imposed for the sale of any garments con-
tanning poisonous dyes. 1t is the Legitimate
function of our lawmakers to legislate on
just such subjects, although they are too
often overlooked or made to give way to
more profitable jobs.

A telegraph Commission.

The Committee on Railroads in tho
United States Senate have unanimously
agreed to report back Senator Jones' Tele-
graph bill, with % recommendation that the
whole matter be referred to a commission
composed of two Senators, three members
OF the House of Representatives and four
persons to be appointed by the President.
1t is contemplated that this commission
shall give the questions involved in tho
telegraph controversy an exhaustive exaini-
nation, SO as to be able to lay be-
fore Congress at its next session
full information on every point, en-
bracing the subjects of the relations
between the telegraph and the press and Of
the postal telegraph system. We regard tho
proposition as a wise one, as, If the COM
mittee is we'll constructed. its labors will
enable Congress to act intelligently on q
matter whose bearings are complicated and
are not now sufficiently we'll understood to
insure wise and effective legislation. The
committees recommendation will, no doubt,
be adopted. The Army Appropriation bill,
as reported back by Mr.. Blaine, is said TO
retain the Butler railroad telegraph
amendment; but If the proposed commits
sion is raised this will no doubt be stricken
out, leaving the telegraph question I'M
touched until the commissions report Is
made to the next Congress.

A Singular Case.

The case of Jonathan Tremaine Wells was
decided in Brooklyn yesterday by de-
cision affirming him to be of sound mind
and capable of managing his own worldly
affairs. It will be remembered that certain
relatives of Mr.. Wells recently took ex-
treme measures to obtain possession of his
property on the ground that he is of un-
sound mind, and the publicity given to
their proceedings by the HERALD at the time
led to q prompt inquiry into the facts before
q capable commission. The finding of the
commissioners, reached promptly on the
conclusion of the case, proves that the nc
ton of the relatives was unwarranted. II
they really had honest fears of the eccentric
gentleman's' sanity they are set at rest by
the result now reached. If selfish motives
prompted the attempt to place him under
control they are happily defeated. Mr..
Wells, who was sensible enough to accumu-
late fortune, alleged to reach two hundred
thousand dollars, is now pronounced sane
enough to keep it without the aid of his
sisters, his cousins and his aunts, and es-
pecially his cousins.

It is to be feared that a majority of the
Tennessee Legislature is willing to stamp
upon the State the dishonor of reputation.
The House this week has refused by the
decisive vote of so to ~ to adopt q
resolution providing for a settlement of
the State debt at fifty cents on the dollar,
with four per cent interest. This would be
an encouraging sign if we were at liberty to
believe that the action of the House was
prompted by desire to pay the debt in full /;
but an analysis of the vote forces upon us the
apprehension that it was due to an unwill-
ingness to pay even that amount. Some
members objected to the resolution OH the
ground that the creditors OF the state, the
holders OF its securities, have not made o
distinct proposition to settle ut fifty per
cent. Others cavilled at the submission of
the proposed adjustment to n vote Of the
people. But the large majority insisted on
awaiting the report of the committee APP
pointed to investigate the State debt before
taking any action, and as there are none
bat repudiationists on the committee the
conclusion is inevitable that delay is coun-
selled for the purpose Of more completely
defrauding the creditors OF the State.
No doubt Tennessee and other Southern
States have suffered severely from the dis
honest practices Of the carpet-bag govern
ments fastened upon them after the war.
No doubt the people were robbed, the
public moneys stolen and squandered and
the State debt swelled by all manner Of
rascality. But these carpet-bag govern
ments were the offsprings Of the rebellion
for which the South was responsible, and in
bearing the burdens imposed upon them
thereby the Southern people are only pay
ing the penalty OF their own folly, just
as the people of New York have paid
and are still paying for their own
stupidity in rendering the rule of
Tweed a possibility. The credit Of
the State is, however, too important and,
We may say, too sacred thing to be tam
pered with under any circumstances. Like
a woman's virtue, once furnished it can
never again be made wholly clear and
bright State officers may be rogues and do
dishonest acts, but the innocent creditor OF
State should not be made to suffer. New
York was robbed shamelessly by Tweed and
his associates, but the idea of repudiating o
single dollar of the bonds issued to pay for
their knavish transactions never crossed q
sane mans mind. Tennessee may snffer,
but no wrongs that have heretofore been in
ficted upon the State would equal that she
would inflict upon herself by reputation,
either total or partial.
