JEFF. Davis Book.

"The Rise and Fall of the Confed-
crate States Government" is the ii
tie of Hon. JEFF. Davis new hook.
The Chicago Times publishes q
synopsis of the titles discussed.
He dedicates it to the widows and
orphans of the Confederate dead.
He conceives it to be his duty to his
countrymen to prepare this history
of the rise and failure of their
cause. He finds in the structure
of the thirteen independent States
and their relation to each other the
primary principles and vested rights
on which he rests his Vindication of
the Confederacy. He evidences the
doctrine of state sovereignty and
the compact by which lthe states
voluntarily gave their consent to a
federation, with no design expressed
or implied ever to become fraction
al parts of nation, and he believes
that those who resisted the violation
of this original compact were in fact
the true friends of the constitution
al Union. The author, in discuss
ing the progress and events in their
natural and logical order, first gives
his attention to African servitude,
&nd the long and bitter sectional
strife to which it gave rise. He
then, takes up the question of
states rights, giving constitutional
and historical arguments on which
he rests the principle of state SOW
ereignty, and quoting copiously
from all authorities on the subject.
These questions and a full state
ment OF the immediate causes Of
the war occupy one-half of the first
volume, and the remainder of the
work is given to the narrative of the
struggle, including the fullest state
ment yet written from a southern
standpoint of the fierce discussions
in Confederate councils and of his
defense of the prolongation of the
war for many months after many of
the ablest men of the south were
fully convinced that their struggle
was a hopeless one.

The Nashville Exposition and
the Citizen.


Why the American should so far
depart from its usual fair dealing as
to do this paper a palpable iDjus-
tice, we cannot conjecture. Our adj
vice to steer clear of the Nashville
Exposition was so plainly and en-
phatically conditioned that only a
wilful perversion of our article
could place us in hostile attitude
to the Exposition. We distinctly
said: eff the Exposition is to be
run in the interest of dollar stores,
beer saloons, monte banks and such
things,i.we advise our s.readers to
steer clear of the big show and
spend their money with our home
merchants" This advice we repeat
here and now, without assuming a
position hostile to legitimate and
properly conducted exposition. The
CITIZEN has always given a cordial
and hearty support to all the public
interests snd enterprises of the
state, whether located at Nashville
or elsewhere, and neither the Amer
lean, nor any other paper or party,
shall force US now into q captious
opposition to any scheme that
could be made so largely beneficial
to the whole state and especially to
Nashville, as the proposed EXPOSE
ton. But, at the same time, we
warn the American and all con-
cerned, that the CITIZEN will not be
deferred by anything founded upon
garbled extracts, though couched In
the fine phrases of a prurient phil
osophy, from doing its duty to its
readers, byi:advocatlDg the stay
away policy, whenever the Exposi-
ton degenerates into catch-penny
concern over which the wholesalers
and retailers, the beer vendors and
dollar stores scramble, until the
legitimate purposes of the exposi-
ton are defeated and the trade OF
the state is demoralized.
If it will help acknowledgements a
plan of harmony, and suggest bet
ter state of feeling between her in
terested business men, we make
bold to say to the outside world the
signs and tokens of Generalization
have already appeared in the unrec
oncIled differences of the wholesale
and retail merchants of Nashville.
The American may find use in that
field for all of its "sapient counsel"

Dear Sir-In order to satisfy my
friends and customers about the changes
to be made here, L wish to state through
your valuable paper that about the 10th
OF March | will remove my stock into
the twO-story building on the corner,
where L will show the largest and best
stock of general merchandise ever
brought TO this place. Using the two
floors gives ample room for a good
shew. Some OF my friends remem Der
that In this house we first met and that
it was here first learned to use the yard
stick and wrap up goods more than
thirteen years ago. To those especially
| offer "A thousand heartfelt thanks Tor
their liberal patronage and many acts
of kindness shown me by word and by
deed. Were L to say goodbye it would
smother me with feelings OF sadness. l
have been associated with them in the
management and supervision of the
Railroad Agency, Ticket, Express and
Post Office here most of the time; and
In all that time didn't forget the grave
responsibilities resting upon me, and
don't hesitate to say that 1 have dis
charged them conscientiously, having
always before me the greatest good to
tue greatest uumDeT- nave no QOuDC
but that some of them have at times
considered me stern, exacting and I'M
accommodating but they will also tes-
tify that have not been guilty of ia
voritism, Partially, duplicity or self
ACCOMPLISHMENTS. If l ever swindled
one of them out of nickle l did not
know it; neither have in store an i'll
feeling toward any one of them.
am proud to say | will remain in
business here, assisted by Col. Richard
Warden, j. b. Wright and j. @. Put

well known James NJ. Arthur to super
intend my log teams this year, expect
to spend most of my time behind the
counter, and trust that my old and new
customers and friends will hunt me up.

week through Marshall, Lincoln
and Bedford. That is, he would
have bought if he had found any to
suit.
Our people have the periodical at
tack of pike fever-that lasts till
the sun shines out awhile. This
week it broke out with 5000 sub
scribed in a few hours for q free
pike from the station to Old Lynn
vile. 1t was said $1,000 would
complete it and no one doubted
our ability to raise 1t. Next day
along came the project to build one
from Cornersville to Big creek,
with three gates-aHd the pulse on
that is 120 with tongue badly furred.
This breaks out every winter, and
it never has any other effect than
to cause work on the roads to be
neglected. The people are waiting
for the legislature to furnish ready
made pixies or for them to sprout
spontaneously. If they would drop
these chimerical speculations and
work the roads, we could soon have
good ones. L am convinced radi-
cal change in our road laws is nee
essary. Our roads are a slur on
our civilization and name. Go to
work, idlers, and put the time you
spend in grumbling in working
your roads.

of lynching these fellows. They
left at midnight and hundreds were
there to see their friends off and all
got to shouting. Under such excite
ment, many were decoyed off. A
violent storm was raging and the
bowling winds carried the midnight
shouts of these deluded wretches

woOdsawyers With a History.

In Dubuque, Iowa, two men are
now engaged in saving wood for
Mr.. joan Coleman, who have his
tory One of them, John Derney,
was a millionaire. During the war
he was a member, of New Jersey
regiment, and served under McClel-
Ian In the Potomac army. He was
in many battles and received many
wounds. He receives a pension of
IS per month. At the close of the
war he went TO California, and
thence TO Mexico, where he engaged
in silver mining, and was very sue
cessful, amassing handsome for
tune About eight years ago he
married the daughter of Gen. Emil
Toutoreta, a wealthy merchant of
Mexico, with whom he lived very
happily for two or three years. He
decided to sell his property and re-
turn to this country. 1t did not
take him long to dispose of his real
estate and other Interests, although
ne sacrificed considerable of it. His
wealth now consisted of bonds and
other cash securities, which he in
tended to deposit in the bank of
Mexico for safety, and to be drawn
when ne reached his destination.
On the 10th Of October, 1874, the
night before he intended to start on
his return, his wife stole all his
money aud securities and fed with
her lover, and he has never seen or
heard of her since. He arrived in
New York with but little money,
and rs may be expected, gave him
self up to dissipation. He has been
wanderer- ever since, arriving in
Dubuque a few days ago. John
Murphy is his feIlow-laborer at the
woodpile of Mr.. Coleman. A few
years sgo Murphy was the captain
of a steamboat on the Ohio river,
which he owned, and was otherwise
well of. He met with reverse Of
fortune and i'll luck, and last summer
was a roustabout on the upper
Mississippi.

Now You See it, Now You Don't,

The investigating committee, al
ter a1laborious and searching inves-
tigation of the charges OF bribery
and corruption made against mem
bers of the legislature, have con
cluded their search and 60 back
into the same hole they came out
at. They could fasten nothing no.
where, and although there was q
lack of positive evidence that would
eliminate under the law, there was
an unseen undercurrent of rotten
ness that could be smelled but not
reached. Witnesses beat about the
bush and let out just enough to
show that the charges were not un
founded though they could not be
sustained with direct proof The
committee did its duty and if the
witnesses had done theirs, perhaps
the warden of the penitentiary
would have had an additional duty
or should have had. The dispo-
sition is, however, TO let it pass. 1t
was time wasted, to-be-sure, but
perhaps it may deter the next man
from taking a bride to see how
near they came to unearthing this
filthy transaction. The committee
has not yet reported and it may
tell more than we know Of
