Clarksville Chronicle:-Dr Wright,
the editor of this paper, received a
very painful injury yesterday friday
morning while examining the machin-
cry in Currents chair factory. By
some means his left hand came in con.
tact with q circular saw, and suffered
a severe incision in the side.
The jackson, (Tenn.) Dispatch, of

According to the Code.

1t is reported that fight "accord>
to the code" took place near Jacksboro
day or two ago, which resulted in
the death of both the parties. The
report is to the effect that young
man named j. NJ. Bibee, son of a
merchant of Jacksboro, became en-
gagged in a quarrel with a young man
named Roth, during u political dis
cussion, which at first led TO a fsticuff
between them. Not being satisfied
with that. they both agreed to go out
short distance from the village to
fight a duel with pistols, which result
ed fatally as stated above. Young
Bibee, it is said, was at one time a Ca
det at the University of Tennessee in
Knoxville. The Knoxville Dispatch
thinks the young men had been read
ing of the duel between Col. Cash and
Col. Shannon, of South Carolina, and
had become imbued with false notions
of honor, and hence IeSorted 10 the
"code duello."

A COwardly Act.

Clarksville Chronicle.-We are in
formed that on Thursday last one
Ramsey and an accomplice named
Moore went to house IN District No.
. in which was living Il Miss Holt,
who was called to the door by Moore,
and, upon her appearance, was shot
by Ramsey. At last accounts she
was still living, but, it is thought,
cannot recover. 1t is said that Ram
sey shot the Young lady because she
refused to marry him. Both men are
in hiding, and large party ofcitizens
are in search of them, and, 1t is to be
hoped, will succeed in capturing them
and bringing them to justice.

killing at Bear Spring Furnace.

Last Monday evening, at Bear
Spring furnace, Cumberland Iron
Works, in Stewart county, family
fracas occurred, resulting in the instant
death Of John Haley, and probably
the motal wounding of John Keys.
We learn that Haley had been in the
habit of beating his wife, until she
fought refuge at the home of neigh
bor named Leddy, where Haley
sought her Monday evening. She
met him at the gate. his abuse was re
newed and the woman's clothing torn
from her. Leddy and Keys inierfer-
ed; the former was knocked down and
the latter cut in the neck with knife,
inficting wounds that leave little
ground to hope for his recovery.
About this time Haley was shot thro'
with a pistol ball, and died at once.
Ii Is not known whether the shot was
fired by Leddy, Keys or some outside
purity.

Talk about eating crow! The Gin
cinnati Commercial (Rep.) is swal-
lowing crow dd libit1m. When Gar
field was not thought ofas a candidate,
the Commercial in its indignation, du>
ring the congressional examination in
to Garfeld's record, in 1873, regard
ing his connection with the Credit
Mobilier fraud, thus discourses:
"And Garfeld's noble soul was sad
ly perturbed. He looked upon the
scenes with grave apprehensions, and
regarded this unseemly persecution of
the righteous with such horror that
his soul was sick within him. He
came near making a fatal blunder
once. After Ames had testified the
second time as to the guilt of Garfield,
fixing it upon him clearly and unmis-
takably, the general at cnce notified
them that he would come before them
and refute the vile ISLANDERS that the
mendacious man from Massachusetts
had poured outagainst him. The day
and the hour came, but simultaneous
ly came not Garfield. He had heard
that Ames (who was then reluctantly
producing the receipts that Patterson
had signed) had in his possession 9TH
er documents to prove the correctness
of his testimony in respect to Others,
and the gallant general, whose fash
ing blade was wont to CLEAN adown
the line. in the CORY days of the past
decade, found that to stay away was
prudent, and he never appeared. The
complacent committee tnrebore TO
question Ames further aa to tiarreld's
statement and his oHH, and the papers
were consequently never produced.

Gov. Mcclellan has written the
following letter to Hancock veteran
club ut Plainfeld, n. j.:
"Orange, n. j., June 30.-I am
very glad to-day and not at all sur
prised that SO many Of your old COM
rades are going to support Gen. Han
cock. The general did so much to
ensure the success of the war, knew
so well what it was for and perceived
so clearly when it was over, that he
deserves the hearty and enthusiastic
assistance of the old soldiers. That
he will receive the support Of the great
majority Of them | do not doubt. VI
trust that the minority in this state
will be too small to be counted, and
that we shall all work with the utmost
energy for the success of our gallant
comrade. With my cordial greeting
to my old companions in arms, and
my best wishes for the complete sue
cess of the organization, | am sincere
ly yours, GEO. B. MCCLELLAN. 3"

In the Official Register there are
"A, ,431 names of officers employed by
the government; of these 3,104 are
paid by fees. In many instances these
fee'paid officers are the most valuable
under the government. A large num-
ber of others are paid by the month,
day and hour, and the "Oficial Reg
ister' contains no estimate of how
much the annual burden on the
REVENUES OF THE COUNTRY
is increased by these fees and salaries.
Without that estimate the -"Register"
gives the total sum paid for the servi-
ces Of employees as S31 1886, ,892.51.
In this total, nothing whatever is in
cluded for fees, which are estimated
to almost equal the salaries. S31 ,252,-
lOS.26. The amounts given for the
monthly, daily and hourly salaries are
i'll each instance Those for single
month, day or hour. Double the
amount would probably more nearly
represent What is paid by the governs
ment for the services of employees, or,
to speak more correctly, for the neces-
sary employees an1 the large number
of political paupers.

ing to the Register, costs as follows:

This is the showing which the Re
publican party is willing to make of
its administration of the civil service.
1t is not by any means the whole
truth, hut it is bad enough. 1t is cer~

ration in the Democratic platform of
1876, that "Reform is necessary in

THE OHIO SPARROWHAWK.
Ana ArithTnetical Omen that

ont OF Sight.

COLUMBUS, o., July 12.-The sto-
ry going the rounds of the Republican
papers about an eagle alighting on
Gen. Garfelds house at the very mo-
ment he was nominated ut Chicago is
very pretty one; but the only foun>
dation for it is the fact that a sparrow
hawk rested on the ridge pole for a
moment. Possibly he was looking for
Il Credit MobiIier grasshopper. Ads
mitting the authenticity of the omen,
the eagle should have been departing
from the house to make the Roman
augury good. But even then the
omen would have been far less omi-
nous than others. Take the letters of
the alphabet in their numerical order
from l up to 26, spell out the name
of each candidate and number the let
ters in their regular order, and We
have the following astonishing result:
