The Tennessee Stock breeders
association met at Nashville on the
28th. A Nashville dispatch says
that a committee was appointed
to urge on the governor the reten-
ton of Commissioner Killebrew in
Office. Later in the day the com
mittee called on Gov. Hawkins, who
received them coldly, and in words
and manner very pointedly resented
their action. The treatment they
received was a surprise to the com
m ttee, and has made them CORES
pondingly indignant. To their re-
quest for his reason for removing
Killebrew, the Governor replied that
the commissioner had not disproved
the charge of misappropriating
money to payfor the services pfhis as
sistant, Dp w. M. Clark. AS Kille-
brew's removal is dependent on the
Senate's confirmation of his success
sor, it is understood to be the Gov
ernor's tactics to wait until the legis-
lature adjourns and then appoint his
own brother.

WHAT DOES TT MEANp

Capt. Fry, who has charge of the
construction of the bridge work on
the Western North Carolina railroad,
has almost completed the bridge
across the Swannanoa, two miles
south of AsheviIle 1t will be finish
ed next week-and next week the
work of laying the track to Smiths
bridge on the French Broad will be
commenced, and only a few days
will be required to complete it. Can
the Asheville NeVS see any reason
why this work should not be allow
ed to go on baskerville Citizen, FEB.
10th.
The Asheville Meas has this to
saw. that now, February 25th, the
bridge is not completed. 1t will fur
ther say that the laying of the track
has not been commenced, nor wont
be soon, and that the site of the Ashe-
vile depot hasno been even located
as vet. The Asheville Ne1cS will say
further that VIM. J. Best has moth
ING to do with the road. He receives
800 per month, but has no asthOri
ty over the road in any way. Again
the NclcS says that the Ducktown
branch will never be built by the
present management, andthe bridge
across the French Broad will not be
built, let alone the completion of the
road to Paint Rock, as was promised
by Gov. Jarvis in his speech here
last September. The Asheville NeaoS
will say further that it is not, nor
never has been, opposed to building
the road by anybody. But it does
say that Gov. Jarvis and his advisers
were guilty of a fraud or were inca
pable of transacting the business OF
the State, when they allowed a pow
erful railroad company to get poss-
ession of the Western North Caro-
lima railroad, and that Matt. Atkin-
son was nearer the truth than he
got credit for being when he said
that a fraud had been perpetrated
and that Gov. Jarvis knew it.-AShe-

VETO OF THE FUNDING BILL

VETO OF THE FUNDING BILL
President Hayes returned the
Funding Bill to the House of Rep
resentatives, last Thursday, with a
brief message couched in strong but
temperate language, giving his reas-
ons for not signing the bill. We
are not disposed to complain at this
action. We are not satisfied that
the bill would not have proved dis
astrOus to the present financial pros
perity of the country. The saving
in interest of S12,000,000 is a small
matter compared with the evils that
might have followed the united op,
position of the national banks. We
are glad the President interpOsed his
power. 1t commits his party to the
national banks and shows more IN
mistakably to the toiling millions the
tendency of the Republican party to
protect and foster monopolies to the
detriment of labor. The veto thus
concludes Our country, after a long
period of business depression, has
just entered upon a career of uneX-
ampled prosperity. The withdrawal
of currency from circulation by the
national banks, and enforced wind
ing mp of the banks in consequence,
would inevitably bring serious en-
barrassment and disaster to the bu-
siness Of the country. Banks of is
sue are essential instruments of mod
err commerce. If the present eff
Gent and admirable system of bank
ing is broken down it will inevitably
be followed by recurrence to other
and inferior methods of banking.
Amy measure looking to such re-
suit will be a disturbing element in
our financial system. 1t will destroy |
confidence and surely shock the
growing prosperity of the country.
Believing that the measure for re
funding the national debt is not ne
cessarily connected with the nation
al banking law, and that any re-
funding act will defeat its own OBJ
iect if it imperilled the national |
banking system or seriously impair
ed its usefulness, and convinced that
section 5 of the bill before me would, |
if it should become a law, work great |
harm, I herewith return the bill to !
the House Of Representatives, for !
that further consideration which is (
provided for in the Constitution. |

The village of Fairfield, Greene
county, Ohio, was the scene ola very
disgraceful occurrence on Sunday,
Feb. 81 1t appears that Rev. Hale,
pastor Of the Reformed Church, of
that place, has been annoyed for
some time by whispering in his
church during service, and on Sun
day before reading the text, hc re-
quested that the practice be discon-
tinued. After giving out his text
he saw Mr.. Musser, a member Of
the Methodist Church, talking to a
neighbor, aud said that Mr. Musser
could be excused from the church.
Musser, with a few friends, got up
and left. As the reverend gentle
man was leaving the church after
the services, carrying a child, Mus
ser met him, and, with a big club,
dealt him several blows over the
head, which made the blood G5w.
Gentlemen near intorlered, when
the lighting man drew his little re
volver and dared any one to arrest
him. This outrage, recollect, oc-

Recently. i'm Rutherford county,

Recently, in Rutherford county,
North Carolina, Mr.. Noblett en-
ployed q negro man to assist him in
killing hogs. That night the negro
stole one hog, and had gotten some
distance on his way home, when,
coming to a fence, he laid the hog
upon the top rail, balancing it until
he got over. Afterward, in attempt
ing to shoulder the hog, 1t fell on
the opposite side of the fence and
the CANNON stick, which the negro
had neglected to take out, caught
him around the neck and fastened
him. The next morning he was
found dead, the hog on one side and
the negro on the other side Of the
fenee-the first CANNON stick that
ever hung a dead hog and live negro
at the same time.
