ECONOMY.
The utmost economy c9mpat.
.ible with the efficient admins.
tration Of government should al
all times lie practiccd, and tho
present fina .icial distress of the
people of the State imposes an
imperative duty upon you to re-
trench expenditures wherever it
may be doRc without injury to
the public interest. Whatever
is done in this direction should
follow careful investigation, in
order that the State may suffer
no dctriment from hasty and
imprudent action. / cannot with
.propriety rccommend retrench-
ment without suggesting the
abolition of the Office of Pri-
vate Secretary to the Governor.
| am Of the opinion that a clerk
at snch a salary as will COM
mand the services ola competent
PERSON should be allowed the
Secretary of State, and that
clerk charged with the mere
clerical duties Of the two offices.
[ am of the opinion that the of.
flee of the Superintendent of the
Capitol ought to be abolished,
and some cheaper mode adopted
for the care Of the capitol and
capitol grounds. My informa-
ton is too limited 10 authorize
me to recommend the abolition
of any other office, but, if after
an investigation it m. Y appear
that other Offices may be dis
pensed with, it is your duty TO
abolish them.
ToRBET ISSUE.
The notes Of the Bank of
Tennessee, issued after the 9th
day of May, 1861, were repudi-
ated in 1865, and in consequence,
fell 10 a merely nominal value.
With the hope that the tax-pay-
ers would be required ultimate
ly to take them up, nearly the
whole of them were bought by
spectators. The question of
the liability of the State to re-
ceiye them for taxes has been
before the Supreme Court Of
the United States upon co!lat-
eral question, which question
was settled adversely TO the
State, but the case upon its mer-
its has never been before that
court, 1t is a duty the State
owes IFS Taxpayers to resist the
reception of these notes for tax
IS in every legitimate mode. 1t
IS recommended that proper
committee employ a competent
attorney, at Q fee fixed in adj
vance to develop the case for
he State, and that the commit
ee employ the attorney and fix
he fee SO that both may be sub
ject to your approval.

THE TURF.
Rarus and Hopeful at Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 24.-The attendance at
the JoCky Club races to-day was very
large, the crowd being estimated at over
$4,000. The greatest interest centered
in the special race between Rarus and
Hopeful for purse of $1,000, OF which
s., 700 was to go to the winner and the
rest to the loser The entrance OF these
two flyers was greeted with tremendous
cheeaing. Splan drove Rarus and Dan
Mace Hopeful. An admirable start was
effected for the first heat, and Hopeful,
after getting the outside, took the pole
at the first turn and held it for half
mile, when he broke, allowing Rarus to
work ahead, which he did, and increased
his lead, beating Hopeful by three
lengths. Time-half mile l:07i mile
2:l7}.
Second heat--An even start was made.
1t was repetition of the first heat up
to the hali-milc pole, where Rarus closed
up on Hopeful, and, gradually outtrot-
ting him, won again in 2:2l. Half-mile
made in los.
Third heat-Rarus got the best OF the
start, and was trotted for the best he
could do, going to the quarter in 33!; to
the half in 1:07!, and home in 2:lS.
Hopeful came under the wire in 2:24!,
barely saving his distance. He broke
badly during the circuit, making this
heat an entirely onesided one.

DESPERATE FIGHT
Between Detectives and Des-
peradOeS.

OMAHA, July PA NcwS special
gives meagre details of desperate fight
between body of detectives and four
desperadoes of Doe Middietown's gang
of thieves and murderers, infesting the
cattle country of Niebrara river, which
occurred on Monday, on one OF the
branches of the creek called Long Pine,
40 miles north of Grand Island. Shots
were fired by two of the detectives and
returned by the dosperadoes, with effect
upon each side. Although no lives were
lost, Logan, one of the detectives, re-
ceived three balls, one in the neck, one
in the arm and the third passed through
the body, below the ribs, coming out near
the backbone. Slowellyn, another OF
the detectives who was present at the
fight. is missing, and the remaining de
tectives escaped without scratch. Lo-
gan made his way TO Columbus, dis
tance OF 80 miles, with safety. His
wounds were not serious though pain
full. Middleton would have been killed
except that the detectives revolver
missed fire four times. He was badly
wounded in the groin and it is thought
will die, but is being cared for by ms
friends.

FOREIGN.
From South Africa.

LONDON, July 23.-A special from
South Africa SAYS that when the troops
entered Ulundi they found everything
of value removed to a new kraal, fifteen
miles north of Ulundi, and approached
only through long and narrow rayine.
King Cetywayo has some OF his chief
regiments with him as a body guard,
and correspondents doubt il he will i'm,
mediately come to terms.
CAPE Town, July 24.-The question
whether Cetewayo will surrender or not
is of little importance, as in the event
of his proving stubborn the British can
place his brother, 0ham, who surrend-
cred some time ago, in possession OF the
lower,and far more fertile part OF Zulu
land, and by assuring Oham some little
support at the commencement OF his
reign, will establish complete bulwark
between Cetewayo and the British col
onies. The continuation OF the war
would be an arduous and fruit
less task, as beyond Ulundi
the country is a wilderness, where the
difficulties of transportation would ex-
ceed anything yet experienced. The
official return of the British losses does
not include those amongst the native
contingent. The Zulus were compelled
to pause by heavy fire whan they ar
rived within sixty yards Of the British
square. Eye witnesses differ greatly as
TO the persistency with which the Iulus
pressed the attack. This probably arises
from the various positions from which
they witnessed il. The most circum-
stantial narratives shows that the Iulus
came with magnificent rush in dense
masses on the rear of the square, and
seemed determined to get close quar-
tiers. Their attack on the left flank was
not nearly so determined, as that was
protected by gattling gun, which the
Lulus greatly dread. The estimates Of
the Zulu losses vary so greatly as to
show that they are pure guessing. The
highest is 1900. The dead were lying
thickly all around the square.
LONDON, July 24.-The sword OF the
Prince Imperial has been delivered to
the British commander by messenger
from Cetewayo.
An Alundi dispatch of July Ith says
that Cetewayo witnessed the beginning
of the fight, but retired "a the Iulus be-
gun TO retreat.
The Condition OF India.
LONDON, July 2i.-At meeting to
discuss the state of India, John Bright
said if it were really necessary, rs now,
to expend over half the Indian revenue
on the army, it seemed TO him that 1t
would be almost better 10 confess our
failure and say the government of n
great empire in Asia by rulers sent
from England is impossible and ought
never to have existed. The speech ex-
cites much hostile comment.

MURDER MOST FOUL.
COwardly and Brutal Deed.

New York, July PA brutal and
cowardly murder was committed tins
evening. Michael Balandcr, foreman in
the candy factory oi Slauson & Co., on
the corner of New Church and Dey
streets, was stabbed to the heart and in
stantly killed by an Italian, whom he
had discharged few days ago from the
store. The murderer was seen to lolter
around the entrance OF the store about
the time the hands were leaving, and
when the foreman, Balander, in COM
pany with another workman, left, the
Italian darted across the street, and
drawing n huge butcher knife from
his sleeve, plunged il into Balander =
breast. A piece of rock candy, which
Balander daily took home to his six
Young children, turned the knife point,
but before he could recover from the
attack, the Italian again raised the
knife and plunged it into his heart Bo-
lander threw up his arms and staggered
a few steps but fell dead in front Of the
engine house in Fulton street, the blood
pouring i'm streams from the wound In
his breast. Not word was spoken
before or after the blow, and Ihe crowds
in the street were horror stricken, and
the murderer fled up the street brandish-
ing the weapon dripping with blood.
The crowds followed, and several police
men joined in the chase. Officer Lund-
rigan attempted to arrest the fugitive,
but latter made desperate attack on
him, and with difficulty the officer par
ried the blow with his club. Other oili-
GERS came to his rescue and the mur-
derer was ovcrpowered and taken to the
station-house, followed by an immense
crowd.
In the station house the prisoner gave
his name as Frank Partelli. The knife
with which he committed the deed was
carefully sharpened, and had an edge
like razor and point like a daggo.
In his cell Partelli sang, cursed and
swore, and said he was sorry he had not
killed half dozen more OF them.

Man Shot and Mules Stolen by
Highwaymen-IIighway Rob-
berry and Attempted Murder of
Cattle Buyer on Hughes
Rivcr-Escape of the Perpetra-
tors.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, July 23.-Last
night Mr.. John Buckley was stopped
back of Belleville, on Jerry's Run, by
several men, who shot him in the side
and robbed him OF two mules, and left
Buckley lying in the road. As soon as
he recovered strength he alarmed a
neighbOring farmer, and immediate pur-
suit was made. The thieves were track
ed i'm the direction of Belleville, where
it is supposed they crossed the Ohio.
Several parties are still in pursuit. Mr..
Buckley's wound is said to be painful,
but not necessarily serious.
A runner for MesSrs. Woodward X
Ollmer gives your reporter the follow
ing details of an outrageous highway
robbery:
A gentleman named Xinn, who is said
TO be a resident OF Harrison county, was
on Hughes river engaged in buying cat
tie, for which purpose he carried con-
siderable sum of money. While riding
quietly along the main road he was set
upon bv two men who fired upon him
before uttering word, the first shot
striking Mr.. Zinn in the right side pOck-
ct, the bullet penetrating his package OF
money, which, no doubt, saved his life,
as the bullet failed to penetrate his body
further than creating a slight flesh
wound. Two more shots were
fired at him, both striking him
i'm the legs, inhiCting serious wounds.
Zinn fell, and as he fell was
pounred upon by the highwaymen, who
Snatched at his pocket book, from which
a considerable sum OF money was pro-
jecting. They tore the pocket book
from his pocket, but failed To get more
than half the amount, as the book was
torn i'm two, at least $3.50 remaining IN
his pocket and falling on the ground
when the pocket book gave way. MIR.
linn begged them not to take all his
money and To leave his papers. They
left his papers, and only left the money
bv reason of the suppOsltlOn that the
side of the book which they retained
contained all. Mr.. Zinn was picked up
bv paSsers, and an alarm given. Pur-
suit was immediately made, but to the
present moment without avail, as no
clue to the highwaymen has yet been
found.
