A Washington correspondent Of
the Nashville American. in reviewing
the life, character and services Of AL.
len g. Thurman, says there is no 9TH
er man in the country iwho has been
in public life one half as many years
as Thurman has, "whose record is 90
clear and spotless and such q monu-
mens to his ability, his integrity and
his wisdom" The writer concludes
his eulogy by suggesting that he ought

Of the United States.

Who Was He Z
Tennessee cor. Y. Tribune.

Among our passengers was q
slouchy young man. wearing a dirty,
coliarless shirt, ragged overcoat, and
an old greasy felt hat. His clothing,
face and unkempt hair marked him
as one of the poor mountain whites,
but l learned in talking with him that
he was member of the legislature,
on his way to attend the extra session
at Nashville. He proved to be more
intelligent than his looks indicated;
and my opinion of him improved 8
hundred ;per cent. when he said he
was in favor of paying the state debt,
and was confident the people would
not consent to repudiation after the
question had been agitated year
longer.

The New Orleans Times saws: TIL

The New Orleans Times says: The
large shipments of cotton seed oil from
this port 10 MarseiIles indicate that
the world is in no danger of suffering
from scarcity of olive oil. In fact,
the greater portion of the olive crop
is now grown on the banks of the Mis-
sissippi and its tributaries. Never,
theless, it would never do to have oil
made in America, and, therefore, our
home product must be shipped to Eu
rope, manufactured there, and then
sent back as the genuine article.

Nashville American: A gentleman
from Waverly says the town marshal
at that town killed a drunken man at
that place last Saturday, by hitting
him on the head with stick. The
mans skull was broken. He lived
until Sunday morning. He is said to
have been harmless fellow, even
while drunk. The marshal became
irritateed at his demurring to go to
the court house with him, though he
did not offer any formidable resistance.
The marshal obtained 81 800 and left
for parts unknown. His course is
strongly condemned, as the murder
was regarded as entirely unprovoked.
Nashville Il merican, 23d: A mem,
Der of the Nashville bar was found
guilty in the Criminal Court, yester>
day, of gaming, and. being unable to
raise the requisite amount OF cash to
pay his fine and costs, was sent to the
county work-house to serve it out at
the rate of twenty-five cents a day.
He was not a chronic case, and hence
a sentence of thirty days in the Jail
was passed upon him. Upward of
dozen friends appealed to Judge Fer
ris to release::him, but without avail.
A certificate Of inability to do manu-
al labor" was secured from the jail
physician, but it made no difference
with Judge Ferriss, who felt himself
fully competent 10 judge whether the
lawyer was an able>bodied man or not.
In conversation with reporter of the
American, Judge Ferriss said that the
releasing of gamblers upon physicians
certificates had become a farce, and
he did not propose to issue another re-
lease in that way. Gilbert, Parkes d
Co., be said, had agreed to furnish
employment for all persons sent to the
work-huuse, to pick wool for them,
and Judge FERRIS is certain that pick
ing wool is not harder work than play
ing cards.

Of lhe rapid growth of the town much has already been said, but its wide awake appear ance and cheerful outlook must be- seen to be appreciated Already theI two main streets are quite imposingI thoroughfsres of commerce and trade, and the many frame buildings with >hingle roofs give it Very decided civilized American air, quite iOreignI to the older towns in Southern Ari-I zona. Although scarcely more than six months "ld Tombstone can already boast of daily mail, a prosperous school, a church organization, liter aiy association, one local newspaper, with a prospect of another, 'ur daily sage lines. several hotels, number of general merchandising firms, whose stores and stocks will compare favor ably with those in any other city of Arizona; two news depOts, fruit stores lumber yard, blacksmith shops, bak- cry. brewery and several other indus tries which indicate the thrift of the srction and the enterprise or the peo- pie.

 The town of Charleston, on the San Pedro, opposite the COrbin and Tomb stone millsiies, has not grown much since last June, but has settled down to a steady, reliable trade with the mines and with Sonora, which must constantly increase, and hence add to the size and importance of the town.

RsW HIninq laws.

-f'g
 In another column of tO-day's CITI. ZEN will be found the text of a bill which has received the signature of the President and is now law, and which amends sections 2324 and 232j of the revised statutes Of the United States pertaining 10 mines.
 The first amendment is not at all sur. prising, as it arose from the necessity of the case, and only goes to make the letter Of the law corr eSpond with its spirit and with the practice of the Land Office until the ruling of Mir. Acting Commissioner Armstrong, in October last. IL only permits what IS allowed in nearly every branch of bus iness, namely: that respectable agent may Go for his principal any act which he has been properly authorized to do.
 The second amendment, however. is rather surprising, in view of the fact that a Congressional Commission is now considering general revision of the mining laws, and will probably ere long report 10 Congress plan for con siderable changes. These changes may perhaps include a suggestion of whai has been already done by the amend ment in question, but it seems little odd and out of time for so unimpor lant matter to have received such special attention as this has. The mat Ter of doing assessment work WAS go ing on very well, and we are inclined to believe that the amendment was passed to fit some particular case. It will be we'll if It does not create con- fusion in A thousand cases. It seems Ina, a mining claim, if located on the second day of January last, can lie until December 1881, before any work need be done on it, and so on, as clain 8 are located early or late in the year, they may have two years Or one year for the first annual assessment work. This pa is not 50 lair as the old sys- tenn, which gives each location one, year and no more.
 The new arrangement IS likely tO| create trouble to, because most mi: ei owners leave their work until toward the last of the assessment year. Under The old system each claim had its own date 10 be worked up tu, but now all claims have the same date, January lst; and the consequence ~ill be that Sn'rs wil be greatly embarrassed toI get laborers during the last month orI >O If each year. This need moi be the case, of course, but human nature will make it SO.
 Upon the whole, it will be we'll for mine owners, prOspectors, and especial- ly jumpers, to keep an eye OF the new law.

EubroyBag ths Uafed States and Mexico
 fn W1r

There was printed in the last issue of The Sunday Tribune a communi. cation revealing certain plans for em- broiling this country in a war with Mexico, with the view of subseoUenr annexation. The writer brings forward circumstantial testimony that at least looks in that direction. He states that after the War of the Rebellion there were several conferences between army officers and some ambitious civilians, at which plans were discuss ed for the systematic cultivation of un- friendly feelings with Mexico upon the Texas border as the first step towards war. This was followed by actual outbreaks between ihe Texan and Mex
 ican herdsmen, which led, as our req ders will remember, to the dispatch of United States troops to the frontier who at one time actuslly crossed into Mexico, and to almost daily rencHntresI between the two nations. and to a very general expectation that war was noi impossible. The tide of political events, however, brought the existing confusion t0 very abrupt cessation, and it soon passed out of pubic atten. tion. It asserted that army officers. politicians, adventures, capitalists. railroad. men. and others who would be benefited by the annexation of Mex ico, are even now busily st work pre-. pairing ihe way for war with that coun- try, and that money has been advanced
 to pay for the preliminary work of the dlibusters
