ScoyilIe's Life Threatened.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Mrs. SEQ
vile mas become quite alarmed for the
personal safety of her husband and
brother, the prisoner. Mr.. Scoville is
constantly in receipt Of threatening let
tiers, and some of these are of such q
nature as to excite his own apprehen-
sion, as well as that of his anxious wife.
Mrs. Scoville has appealed to the police
authorities for protection for her hus-
band and brother, but has received lit
tie satisfaction. Yesterday she made
an urgent request of Marshal Henry
that he would take steps to secure the
safety of the objects of this threatening
correspondence. Marshal Henry said
his responsibility only existed while the
prisoner and his counsel were in court
and referred Mrs. Scoville to the police.
She replied that she had sought help
from them in vain and again besought
him to do what he could to protect her
hust q nd and brother. The Marshal as
sured her that the authorities would not
be remiss in preserving proper order.
Mrs. Scoville was very earnest in her
manner and evidently feels that her
relatives are in great peril.

The Tariff Question.

A dispatch from Washington of 22d,
says: The subject of tariff revision
will probably be brought up before both
Houses of Congress soon after the reas-
sembling. Morrilps bill will be reported
to the Senate, and the tariff reformers
will antagonize it. Garland's bill,
which was rejected by the Finance
Committee, has some supporters in the
Senate, who will make determined
fight in its behalf, but without any
prospect of success. Even all of the
Democratic tariff reformers in the Sen
ate do not approve Garland's bill. Sen
ators Harris, Beck and all others are in
favor of a Commission, composed en-
tirely of members of Congress and APP
pointed by Congress. Their policy is to
keep entire control of the subject in Con-
gress and not entrust revision on their
part to outsiders. The differences of
opinion, however, as to the composition
of the proposed commission will not di-
vide the low tariff Senators against the
Morrill, bill. They will endeavor first
to defeat that, and if that can be &C
complished, they will attempt to unite
on some new measure, perhaps con-
structed upon the Garland bill. The
sentiment in favor of some revision of
the tariff is steadily growing worse.
Judge Kelley, Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee, has modified its
extreme tariff views to the extent of
admitting that revision is needed and
he intends to draft bill to that effect.
The low tariff members say this contem-
plated move of Kelley's is simply a
smart dodge of the Proteetionists to
head off the growing sentiment in favor
of revision. Everything that ema-
mates from the Protectionists is suspect
ed by the other side, and bill for a
tariff revision, introduced by Kelley,
antagonized AS seriously as though it
embodied the extreme of Protection doc
trines. 1t is generally conceded that
a decided majority of both Houses
favor a revision, but there are diverse
views as to the means and methods
that should be employed in making it.

ONE thing Of very much impor>
lance to Tennessee and its people
that should be taken into considera-
ton by the present legislature is the
road question. This is a subject
that has been brought before the
legislators of our state very often,
if not in the form of a bill, by the
newspapers, which are the repre-
sentatives of the thoughts and
wishes of the people. All who are
acquainted with the roads Of our
state know that they are@in the
most dilapidated condition and
almost entirely unfit for travelling,
especially those in East Tennessee.
In the winter season they are alto,
gether impossible in many places.
and numbers Of poor farmers are
compelled to 60 miles out of the
way in order to market their pro.
duce. On this account children are
forced to remain away from the fres
schools, which are the only means
they have of securing an education
and which last only during the win
ter months. Immigrants pass u
by because of the general worthless
ness of the land, caused by the fac
that: it is almost, if not, impossi'
BILE to find proper and suitable
means of ingress to and egresI
from it.

q The members of our Legislature,
and especially the Republicans,
should not allowthe Senatorial con-
test to cause them to neglect the
St&e debt question. The election
of aR epublican Senator is Of great
importance to the State and party,
but settlement of the State debt
on firm, just and legal basis is Of
much greater moment. The Re
publicans should keep in mind the
platform on which they were LON
mated and elected, and the many
promises they have made to theil
supporters, and use every effort it
their power to effect an honest set
Element between the State and thu
bondholders. IF no settlement car
be agreed upon, they should see tt
it that the fault can not be laid a
their doors. But We feel assured
that if. the Republicans can ge
enough so-called state-credit Dem
ocrats to act with them that thi
matter can be fairly and squarely
settled. The legislators shoul'
bear in mind that this Legislature
will shape the future destiny o
Tennessee, and they should see tina
it is not darkened by repudiatio1
clouds of thick black ness.

TEUSDAY, JAN. IS, 1881.

THE mask has at last been thrown
off, and the Democrats now admit
that their object in pushing the
Kellogg-Spofford case is simply to
retain supremacy in the Senate.
Thus far only one appropriation
bill has passed both Houses. The
Army bill has been under considera-
ton for two days and has not yet
passed. The naval academy bill is
on the calendar of the Senate, the
Indian and pension ] Ills are before
the Senate appropri alton committee,
while the remaining five regular ap-
preparation bills have not passed
the House yet. The time is not
adequate to pass appropriation bills
alone, without hazarding much care
less legislation: 1t would be scarce
ly less disastrous for the Democrats
to fail to pass the refunding bill
than to allow the appropriation bills
to 60 over after the 4th of March.
Under the present state of affairs it
is hardly possible that they will
reach a vote on the Kellogg case.
They are waiting with much COM
Germ and anxiety the result of the
Senatorial contest in Tennessee,
hoping and trusting that Demo.
orat may be chosen and yet fearing
that it may be otherwise. Beside
this, Malone and Davis are boil
uncertain. To push the Kellogg
case under such circumstances a
these would justify the Republican
in resorting to dilatory measures
and this would throw the Who'll
matter over until after the 4th {
March, when the Republican
would in all probability organize th
Senate with several new accession
to their number in the stead Of r.
firing Democrats. The outlook
not very pleasant one. Tz

Next Tuesday the Tennessee legis
1ature begins ballotting for a United
States Senator. In that body there
are "a number of Democrats who, lat
home, are considered independent,
free-thinking, progressive men, who
have the good Of the State and the
country at heart. These men cannot
fail to know that we want man in

conviction into the minds of his con-

We want man of public experience,
; whose mind takes in the broad scope
of this vast country and whose
habits of thought bring him to full
consideration Of the varied interests
of all the people. We want a man
who, in the Senate, can rise to a
point above wrangling political de

' its four natural divisions, without
dividing them. If we get such ar
one we shall be proud Of him, and i

Tumbling Birds of China.
D [Chimes.l

There is pretty little bird that lives in
China, and it is called the Fork-tailed
Parus. He is about as big as a robbin,
and he has a red beak, orange-colored
throat, green back, yellow legs, black
tail, and red-and-yellow wings. Nearly
all the colors are in his dress, you see,
and he is gay fellow.
But this bird has trick known by no
other birds that ever heard of. He turns
somersaultsl Not only does he do this in
his free life on the trees, but also after he
is caught and put into cage. He just
throws his head back, and over he goes,
touching the bars of the cage, and alight-
ing upon his feet on the floor or on a
perch. He will do it over and over a
number of times without stopping, as
though he thought it great fun.
All his family have the same trick, and
they are called Tumblers. The people of
China are fond of keeping them in cages
and seeing them tumble. Travellers have
often tried to bring them to our country,
but sea voyage is not good for them,
and they are almost sure tosdie on the
way.

give us circus. washington Bradford,
of Americus, Ga, was chased recently
by horned snake as he was returning
from school. The reptile took its tail in
its mouth and went rolling hoop-fashion
after Bradford. The race was long one,
and to add to his dangers, coiled moe
casin lay right in his path. This snake
had head erect, its eyes glistening, while
its forked tongue played with lightning
rapidity from its open mouth. He was 60
ing with such speed that he couldn stop,
but exerting himself, he made tremen-
dous spring, and jumped high in the air
and landed about fourteen feet over the
moccasin, and running a little farther on,
stopped to see what the two reptiles
would do. He then found himself good
pole, advanced upon the moccasin and
killed it, but could find nothing of the
hooped, horned serpent that had chased
him so far. ss.
