article highly sensational rela-
tive to the recent visit cf Col.
John III, Savage and John r.

candidate FOR Governor on the
low-tax ticket, at his home in
Gallatin. A contract has been
entered into, the Banner SAYS,

elect Hawkins, is TO be made
UAited States Senator, The Of
flee of Governor will then be de-
clared vacant, and the Speaker

Judge Blacks Letter.

letter from Judge Jeremiah S.
Black, Of Pennsylvania, TO the
New York Chamber of Com
merce in answer to a series Of
questions addressed to promi-
nept men, among which were
these: How can the prevailing
determinations against individ-
uaIs and communities be preven-
ted? Is it safe to allow railroad
managers to tollow their new
theory of charging sall the traffic
will bear?" Ought not the COM
panies to be supervised in the
public interest, as banks and in
surancc companies are, and for
more pressing reasons? What
do you think of; companies and
managers contributing sums of
money to election expenses or to
influence legislation? Is it right
to water stock through any
means by which fictitious bases
of value are estqblished2 is a
Jaw which limits passenger rates
just, and, if 50, should not the
principle be extended TO freight

Nashville Americana


As an officer of the u S. In
ternal Revenue service Capt. Da=
us has gained a national reputa-
ton for his daring and efficacy,
He has done more to break up lis
licit distilling in Tennessee than
any other man, and has taken
greater risks to carry out his du5
ty than any one in the service.
He is thirty two years old, and
has been employed in the Revc-I
nue Department for fen years, as.
Deputy Marshal, Deputy Collec-
tor and Com. Ills home is sew
en- miles from Fayetteville and
he has a wife and two children.
During his official career he
had two desperate fights, in each
of which he Slew his man. In
the first he killed a man named
Hampton, near Estill Springs.
This occurred partly in Hamp-
TOMS house, and was continued
out of the house and around the
chimney. Here they fired almost
simultaneously, Davis shooting
Hampton in the breast, and he
filling Davis gum coat ,whichIwas
folded and tied over his shoul-
der, with buckshot. Hampton
attempted to club Davis with his
gun, which was caught by Davis.
Seeing that Hampton was NOR
tally wounded, Davis eased him
to the ground, and With the help
of another man, carried him into
the house. One Of the shots from
iHampton's gpn struck Davis in
the cheek, tearing up the skin.
In the second affair, Davis shot
and killed Il man named Haynes
in fight near Tracy City 80, : ~
Davis was also in the Peck's
house fight, in Overton county,
during which two of his mem
Phillips and Pippin-were shot,
but not fatally, and several Of
those on the other side wounded.
Davis and his men were kept at
bay in Peck's house for, several
days, one of his men escaping
to get reinforcements. 9t9 IIia
Davis also had a desperate
fight with Campbell Morgan,
who was badly wounded in the
arm while defending his distil-
lery. Morgan commanded the
attacking party in Peck's house
fight, but he and Davis snbse-
qnently became fast friends af-
Ter the amnesty extended by the
Government. He subsequently
accompanied Davis in his raid
after illicit distilleries. 9 Il
Davis could not write. his
name when he entered the reye-
nue. service, but afterward
learned to read and write. lie
has an extraordinary memory,
and never forgets names, faces
or circumstances. He is. a man
of rare personal courage. He
may be said to have been born
in the woods, and was at home
in all kinds of bush fighting.
Before his employment in the
revenue service Davis was en-
gagged in the arrest of murder
ers and other desperate charac-
tiers for whom rewards had been
offered. Both in this respect
and as a revenue officer, he was
remarkably successful. oa en'

RESUMPTION-BY WHOM II
WAS ACCOMPLISHED.

The cheeky assumption of Senator
numerous Democratic journals that to
the Democracy is due portion of the
credit attaching 10 the resumption of
specie payments, and the consequent
business prosperity which prevails
throughout the country, is met in the fol-
lowing summary manner by John Sher-
man, secretary of the treasury, and the
author of the beneficent measure in
question:
Bayard's claim that the Democratic
party deserves credit for resumption is
false The first step towards resump-
ton was under Grant in the Public
Credit act This was purely Republi-
can measure. Ii was adopted after the
gravest consideration by the great body
of Republicans IN congress and was op
posed by the Democratic party. Every
Democrat voted against, it with Bayard
at the head Of tn elist. GE
The next step was the act of July "a
1870, for refunding the public debt. Il
| is this act which has made the reduction
of the interest on the public debt posi-
| BILE. This was material aid to the Re
1 publicans, providing the means for The
accumulation of coin. 1t was adopted
by a vote of 81, ITO of the Republicans
and opposed by nearly every Democrat
After the panic Bayard may have ia
vored resumption, but four -fiffhs of hi
party opposed 1t. The Republicans a
party remained true TO the pledges O

of the heavier sort, although specially
made for stitching cotton betting, an ar

ket as cheap and serviceable Institution
for gearing and the ordinary leather bel

strength and toughness, and is sewed to.
gether in piles or layers up TO an inch in
thickness. The betting in being sewed
together is passed through heavy feed
rollers some nine inches in diameter. and
more than eight feet in length, getting
stretched and pressed in the process
There are two needles at work with two
shuttles, and the shuttles can be removed
from the bottom without disturbing the

THE PInuS DEACON


A Detroit man was hunting land q
few weeks ago in Antrim county, and he
came across settler who was doing
some logging with yoke of oxen. The
two sat down together on 8 log and had
a talk, during which it transpIred that
the settler had been a deacon in a viii
lage IN the southern part of the state,
and had lately moved there. By-and-by
the Detroiier moved on, but after trav-
Cling for half mile had to retrace his
steps to get closer particulars regarding
the lay of a surveyed highway. While
he was yet eighty rods away he heard
shouts, and the nearer he drew the more
the shouts sounded like cuss words.
When he reached the clearing the settler
was Jumping up and down and pound
ing the oxen, who refused 20 pull on a
log. Every word uttered by the settler
required three exclamation points 10
punctuate it, and they were ground out
like wheat from hopper.

POLITICAL POINTS

Conundruin: Which is the stronger

New York Tribune: Picture him. the
"superb" acting as taiLholder.
The Colorado Chieftain says that state
is solid fof the Republican ticket, both
state and national, by 5000 majority.
The superb" candidate will feel very
much like snubbing General Grant
again, when he reads the old hero's
Warren speech.
1t seems to be nip and tuck between
Judge Vrooman and Ed Ross to see
which can maintain the most prominent
obscurity IN the gubernatorial canvass.
The enthusiastic indifference with
which Ben Butler has been received in
Indiana has xcited the suspicion that he
has been subsidized by the Republicans
Senator Mcdonald win let himself
down softly from the asperities of the In

writing Scion Chase and his Green
back associates IN Maine to stick to theIl

The fact that General Hancock think
he can hold his party by the tail, woul,
seem to indicate that the superb" states
man is not up in the history of president
from Pennsylvania.
The Democratic split in Georgia ma
result in the loss to them of one or NOR
