A number of the prominent Democrats
Of this city irIt called upon to publish a
card lev days since, in order to direct the
attention Of the legislature to the system
a,ic attempt making on the part Of the op-
position to the reform movement in our
midst to conceal the real issue and raise
falseone in the hope ofblinding their eyes
andexciIing their prejudices. The mem
beBO Of tho Legislature can see this persist
ent effort on the part Of the opposition in
pretty much all their electioneering against
the movement. To accomplish their ends
they have dragged inthe names of citizens.
who were not only not in sympathy with
their opposition, but who have come out
and openly repudiated any such use of
their names. Not discouraged by the
card referred to, which was signed by SO
many Of our leading Democrats, and not
discouraged by the repudiatiou By other
Democrats OF the use OF their names,
they still keep up their tactics of
trying to give political complexion to the
reform movement, For instance, u writer
in the Register OF Saturday, who signs him
selta Jefferson Democrat" comes out and
in spirit OF the grossest Misrepresentation
quotes the ISrELLlGExcER as saying 80 few
mornings ago that Republican Mayor OF
this city, and Republican Sheriff OF this
county will come from tho ranks Of the re-
formers"
The very silly writer OF this was appar-
eHt'y incapable Of understanding that
prompt exposure must needs follow his
statement, and must needs do his cause
harm in the eyes OF all the members Of the
Legislature. We call the attention Of the
legislature TO the ialsehood, and beg to
quote from our article OF the Sth exactly
the words used by the IxTELh'ogNcRR-
the whole paragraph. twas as follows:
We are Of the opinion that the next
Sheriff OF this county and the next Mayor
OF this city will come from tho ranks OF the
reiomcrs.
The word Republican" was wiItully put
inby writerinthe Regiaerto accomplish
htspurposc,h c,heknowinefu efuIIwcII that we had
never used it. lie put it in to accomplish
an unworthy end, which was to deceive
and prejudice the minds OF members Of the
House.
We sumbit to that body that cause
that has TO sustain inseif by these sort oi
miserable tricks is very poor one indeed.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, February ll.-Six-
teeh miles south OF here on the Knoxville
q Augusta Railroad, is situated the beauti-
lul town OF Maryvile. The town is noted
more hor its college than anything else,
Inc school was founded several years ago
ny northern people, members OF the Pres
oyterlan Church, and endowed literally
win the express provision that il should
be open to colorcd as well as to white
pupils and to both sexes. yt.5
Trouble has come upon the College,
however, and 1t seems to he Of serious
character. The cause OF the trouble is an
ambitious colored boy who desired to be-
come member OF the Animi Cultus Lite
nary Society. He made application for
membership apd was black.balled. Here
the troubles OF the society began, and here
the College trouble began likewise. After
tue refusal OF the society to admit the
colored boy the matter was brought 10 the
attention Of the Faculty, which cham
Elohed his cause, us they we're ia
DUTY bound 10 do. It was patent that
the boys application to the society
was negatlved solely because Of his color,
anu color lines are not presumed TO exist
IN me institution, so the FaeHity intertered
IN his behalf. Tho society persisted in its
refusal TO admit the negro boy, and the
property OF the society was removed from
the College building to private room, and
q guard put over it. Alter this action fol.
lowed the suspension Of some twenty.
three Of the students, until such time rs
taey were willing TO net in conformity to
the spirit Of the College.
The suspended students rejected NIL con.
clllatory offers, and left tho following
morning for their homes, escorted to the
train b1ytwenty.tive or thirty other mem.
9ers OF the Animi Cults Society. Before
the society disbanded, the members dona.

recently purchased for $40 to the NJ. L.
Church South, OF MaryyilIe. The follow.
ing morning another lot Of the students
left the college for their homes, and 10 the
present date us many rs fifty have gone
away with the avowed determination
never to return. It Is thought that others

The President OF the College, Rev. Mr.,
Bartlett, was in the city Yesterday, and Is

Special Dispatch 10 tho lntellIgeucor.
WAsHlNoToN, February l2.-ThO time
set BY the Committee on the expenses con.
nected with the illness OF President Gar.
field, in which claims for services, supplies,
ETC., might be filed, expired yesterday. Nc
claims whatever have been presented and
the committee, which will begin the con.
stdcration Of the business tomorrow, will
have to proceed without any sort Of an
itemized account from anybody.
Judge Taylor, the chairman Of the com.
mittee, referring TO the rumor that $3.50
to $4,000 would be paid to each Of the
surgeons who were in attendance upon the
President, says that no such sum will be
allowed. He had been Ggaring the matter
over and advising with gentlemen compe-
tent to give him ideas on the subject, and
he Is Of the opinion that $4,000 would be
fully as much rs my one Of the physicians
ought TO receive. This amount he thinks
ought to be paid to Bliss. In the case of
DIS. Hamilton and 4gaew he thinks that
as they did not spend all their time here
they ought not receive quite so much, still,
in consideration Of the fact that they paid
their own expenses while here and en-
route, they ought to receive sum not far
below that named for DR.. Bliss.
Steward Crump is said TO claim that his
ague, incurred ut the White House during
General GarReld's illness, caused him an
extra additional expense Of about six hun
dred dollars. The two army surgeons will
be compensated by promotion. These
points, the Judge says, cover all the infor-
nation he has on the subject, and COM
prises about all the data with which the
committee will begin its work. The rail-
roads have notsent on their bills. Although
the time set by the committee has expired,
still it is reasonable to suppose that there
will be unsurmountable objections to the
presentation Of bills even after that date.
OF course the old quarrel between the
doctors crops up on this, as 1t does on every
possible occasion, and the friends Of DR.
Bliss charge that Judge Taylor has come
under the influence Of DR.. Baxter, and has
accepted the figures for what ought to be
q reasonable compensation OF the pbysi-
clans from that gentleman, and that DR..
Baxter has permitted his professional jeal-
ousy to govern his advice in the premises.
The air is full OF rumors tonight concern
ing the indictments which the grand jury
are about to present in the Star route cases,
but nothing definite can be got Among
those named by the rumors as certain to
be presented are the two Dorseys, the ex-
Senator and his brother, and General
Brady.
