hang him The doomed culprit was then
notified Of his fate, and carried across
Wilson'S Bridge over Saluda River into
Grecnyille, the County in which the
crime was committed. He asked for the
services Of preacher, which was granted
him, a colored minister praying with him
before the execution At the conclusion
Of the prayer the minister asked him if
he was really guilty, and the prisoner

Grceuville, acting as Coroner, came down

jeff. Davis and the Dispatch.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June II, 18S

ANOAf1l4lt, IENN, u ul0 q, 1901.
Mr.. EDITOR: In few places on the
railroad in East Tennessee I occasionally see
sheet called the Daily Dispatch, published
at Knoxville, which seems to be carrying the
Democratic party on its shoulders. In the
issue of June 18th I read an editorial COM
menting upon a recent interview held with
that obsolete and absurd person, Jefferson
Davis, in which j. D. commented upon
General Sherman's remarks upon his g..
D's) book. gather from the editorial COM
ments in the Dispatch that the editors of
that paper fought calamity for the lost
cause four years and three months, were
| severely wounded, and returning to their
homes found that two or three hundred of
their niggers had been made free men.
take it that this is correct and that the editors
feel sore over their losses and their fruitless
fighting.
The general verdict of the impartial world,
since Mr.. Davis book appeared, has been
that the entire South could not have pro-
duced another imbeeile capable of writing

CHEAP POSTAGE.

We do not doubt that Postmaster
General James will be able, with the
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1881-06-21

present rates of postage, to make
the Post-Ofice self-sustaining within
year or two. He is looping off a
great deal from the Star service,
where the expenses have run up be-
yond all reason over the service per-
formed, and will be able to make
reductions still. He will be able to
find many Star routes, where the SER
vice is performed oftener than the
exigencies of the country require,
and in some instances to abolish ser
vice where it is not needed at all.
This is a difficult task to perform,
but with his systematic, business-lik
policy he will doubtless accomplish
it. It is hard to tell, sometimes,
when Star service should be
reduced or suspended altogether,
and it will be astonishing if in eur
failing it, injustice is not done to
some communities. However, when
this is shown to be the case, we
are sure that the Postmaster>G Gems
eral will do what is right and just.
Postmaster- General James has not
had an opportunity yet to speak off
cially to the country, but when he
does, he will doubtless favor o re-
duction in the rates of postage when
ever it can be safely done. If he can
signalize his administration by res
ducing letter postage to two cents,
he will have performed an act of a
substantial character, for which he
will be held in grateful remembrance.
The revenues of the Post Office De-
partment are growing larger every
year, and we doubt not that
in the near future re-
duction of rates will become en-
tirely practicable, and that it will be
done. We do not believe that il
should ever be a part of the policy
of the government to make money
out of the Post~Office Department.
and whenever the department. be-
comes self-sustaining, the reduction
of rates should be made. The Post
master,General is laboring now tc
make it SO, with a fair prospect OF
success at an early day.
In his report to the President and
Congress, last winter, Postmaster
General Maynard made an important
suggestion touching the money-ordel
system. A money-order for any
amount under fifteen dollars now
costs ten cents. Mr.. Maynard sug
gested a reduction of the fees on
small orders to five cents. Sucl
a reduction would be greatly appre
ciated by the public generally, and
whenever it can be done it should be
done. The money-order system has
constantly grown in public favol from
the date of it's establishment, and il
this reduction could be made, il
would meet with universal approba.
ton. The efficiency of the posta
department of our government has
constantly increased for years, anG
under the administration of the
present Postmaster General it prom
ises to make a long stride on the
road toward perfection

We have received a note from
Nashville, which gives the informa
ton furnished Governor Hawkins in
regard to the affair in Hawkins coun-
ty, upon which he based his action
in ordering Captain Newman with
his Knoxville Rifles to Rogersville
for the purpose of protecting Deputy
Marshal Larkin against the appre-
hended assaults of mob. He acted
upon telegram sent from Knoxville,
to the effect that Mr.. Larkin had
been arrested and was Gin Jail at
Rogersville for shooting a man in
self-defense-a man who resisted
arrest And further that
the "sheriff of Hawkins county
and others send word that Larkin
will be taken from jail by mob and
lynched." Upon this the governor
was requested to telegraph orders
immediately to Knoxville Rifles,
Capt. Newman, to go instantly to
Rogersville."
OF course this information fully
warranted the governor in the action
he took. He has shown from the be-
ginning commendable disposition
to deal vigorously with mobs, and to
use the full power Of his Office in
their suppression. In doing so, he
has the support of all good citizens,
and will continue to have.
We think that there was
perhaps an error in the statement
that the sheriff of Hawkins county
sent the WORD" the dispatch says he
did. It probably referred to the
sheriff of Hamblen county, where the
arrest was made.
It will be borne in mind that there
is no telegraph Office at Rogersville,
SO that it was impossible to obtain
exact information, and the authori-
ties, both State and Federal, had to
rely upon the facts as they appeared
at the time; and while subsequent
events showed that there was nc
need of alarm, still the authorities
are to be commended for their dis
position to deal vigorously witt
transgressors.

TUESDAY, JUNE 81, 1881.

WE have received from the Treas
ury Department, bureau of statistics,
a statement of the expectation of
breadstuffs from the United States
for the month of May, and for the
eleven months of the fiscal year to
June |. It shows an increase over
1880 of S9,921,45S, the total ex-
portation for eleven months being
$3.50. 876,S2S. There was little
falling off in the shipment of wheat,
the amount for eleven months ends
ing with May 81, 1880, being 1884,
293,072 bushels, and for 1881 1885,
7S6,486 bushels. There is also a
falling off in corn from 45,414, SAL
bushels in 1880, to As, 249,952 bush
els. There is likewise q falling off
in the shipment of corn meal and
-four. But there is an increase in
barley, oats and rye. The total
values of the two periods appear as
above stated, and gives 1881 the
advantage. The showing is a very
encouraging one for our agricultural
interests, and demonstrates that we
are furnishing a large proportion of
the world with bread.
