Mobile, Ala, and the holders of the

ARRESTED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 14.-Sec-
retary Schurz received to day tele
grams from Indian Agent Berry at
Los Pinos, Col, stating that he has
been arrested on warrant charging
him with murder, on account of his
alleged connection with the killing of
Freighter jackson some days since
by the Utes inrevenge for the killing
of one of their band. The freIghters
and settlers claim that jackson acted
in self-defense, and should have been
protected, but that Indian Agent
virtually surrendered s him to
the Utes, who afterwards
murdered him. There is great
popular excitement throughout Col
orado, and threats are made that
Berry and Commissioner Meacham
will be lynched as soon as they step
outside of the Indian reservation,
and that vengeance will be taken on
the Indians. There are fears that
the result will be another Ute war.
Secretary Schurz telegraphed Gov.
Pitkin, tonight, that he hoped the
state authorities would spare no eff
forts to put down the lawless popular
spirit which threatens to bring on a
conflict which will cost hundreds of
lives and millions of dollars.

GENERAL GRANT.

Boston, Oct. 13.-At the reception
given by the mechanics association
of this city to General Grant to-day,
the latter made a speech of consid-
cradle length upon the general sub
ject of foreign fields for American
industry and trade. He referred
particularly to Mexico as a country
which offered great induce
mems to American enterprise,
and gave the results of his recent
observations in that country and the
substance of his private conversation
with many of its leading men. He
said he told the Mexican people that
their fears of the forcible annexation
of portion of their territory by
this country were groundless now
that slavery had ceased to exist in
the south and that they had every
thing to gain by the cultivation of
closer commercial relations with
the United States. Gen. Grant ex-
pressed an opinion that Mexico could
produce nearly all of the two hun
dred million dollars worth of tropi-
cal and semi tropical products, which
we import mostly from other sources,
and would take our manufacturers in
payment therefor, thus greatly bene-
fitting both countries.

BANK OF TENNESSEE NOTES.
Old Issue Still Receivable by the

The following circular has been is.
sued by the stats comptroller:
8 CoMPTRoLLER's OFFICE, NASH
WILLIE, Oct. s, 1880.-TO trust 9es,
clerks aud other collecting officers !:
Under the provisions of senate Joint
resolution No. 35, acti 1879, page $50,
the treasurer and the comptroller, in
the absence of legal opinion by the
attorney general of the state, thought
it their duty to refuse to receive, in
payment of dues to the state, the bills
Of the Bank Of Tennessee known as
sold issue.o Now, however, that the
matter is about to be tested in the
courts, the att )rney general gives an
opinion to the effect that ''statute'
cannot be repealed by resolution"
that the law is still IN force authoriz
ing collecting officers to receive, from
tax payers, sold issue' Tennessee
money in payment of state tax; and
! that it would be advisable tl subject
the state to payment of costs by further
refusal thus to receive it. .e
In presenting this character of funds
for the credit of your revenue account
please let 1T be shown In your report
or by ceIt ficsts or otherwise, that IL
was received in pay yment of st tt tax,
from whom received, date, etc.
1t may be unnecessary, but not Inn
proper, to add that this circular applies

contained can be construed to imply
tnst "new Issue" is receivable in pay

THE LOST JEANETTE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. .13. 3.-The rev.
enue cutter, Corwin, which has just
returned from cruise in the Arctic
ocean, in search of the Arctic ex-
ploring steamer, Jeanette, reports
that on ST. Lawrence Island, out of
700 inhabitants, 500 were found dead
of starvation. Traders had intro
duced liquor among them, causing
them to neglect laying up their
usual supply of provisions. The
officers of the Corwin express the
opinion that the jeanette wintered
on the Siberian shore, and is now
there, west of North Cape. TIE
Corwin could not get far enough
west to verify this belief, on account
of the ice. HAAS ~ 4~

Western North Carolina Railroad

Newport Sentinel: We learn from
M. B. Hyden, of Big Greek, who has
lately returned from the scene of
Messrs. Best & Co.'s operations on the
Western Noltl Carolina railroad, that
every circumstance now indicates that
the road will be com pie ted, tho
through line connection established
and the terms Of the contract and sale
Of said road carried out within the pre-
scribed time and to the letter. y
Oae hundred and nine thousand
dollars in actual cash have been
expended by Best & Co. upon the
enterprise already and this looks somes
thing like they meant business. The
surveying and locstip g is being carried
forward rapidly on both branches of
the road, aud we may set it down for a
fact that the line will soon be cOms
pleted for the passage Of trains to the
Paint Rock. We shall soon expect a
movement by the management Of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
line looking to an arrangement for an
early completion of the connection on
the Tennessee side.

condition and welfare. Flushed
with their victories and taking
advantage of divided democracy, the
republicans of Tennessee conf IentIy
proclaim the capture OF our It t goV>
ernment by the ele,t on Of Judge
Hawkins and republican legislature.
The democrats of tennessee certainty
have not forget en- the bainful effects
of the Browulow dynasty, with its
atIeudent evils of prof gacy, corrup~
ton, Acknowledgement and state
militia, and the cordial sup-
port given that dynasty by q
republican national administration,
backed by the federal bayOutts at the
polls, and t. the reconstruction acts
and the maintenance of the carpet
bag rule throughout the south, while
the national democracy will continue
the noble Fl ht begun with an enthue
siasm and heTOism unparalleled in the
political history of the country. Can
it be that the Tennessee democrat
will longer hesitate in the united and
cordial support of their nominees.
viii not our brothers, who left US on
the 135n of August last, forget their
imaginary grievances, bury theil
prejudices aud return t. t le fold and
unite tl all good democrats in
electing ticket that will
insure US an honest al d econom-
ical administration of our , SIC afairs,
the settlement of our differences OF
state politics. the maintenance of home
rule and an hOnest judiciary, free
ballot aud low taXes. We are con-
fronted with an enthusiast and well
organized enemy. No longer can il be
doub, ed that neither Judge Wrigt OIL
Judge Hawkins will be elect d
governor of Tendessee on the 2ud
day of November next. TDen the
executive committee of the state, on
behalf Of the democracy, urge that TIE

That all the democrats from this day
