WHO said Carlisle was a rip-roaring
free trader with no thought but abOl
ishing the tariff, if it overturned anC
wrecked the entire business Interest
of the country? If he had not been
conservative reformer he would
never have been chosen by the Demo
cratic party for the position he fills
On being elected speaker of the House,
Mr.. Carlisle made very neat speech
expressing his sense of the duties that
the office devolved upon him in which
he said:
Sudden and radical changes of laws
and regulations affecting the CONNER
cial and industrial interests of the peo-
pie, ought never to be made, unless
imperatively demanded by some pub
lie emergency, and in my opinion I'M
der the existing circumstances, such
changes would not be favorably re
ceived by any considerable number OF
those who have given serious atten-
ton to the subject. Applause. Many
reforms are undoubtedly necessary
and it will be your duty after careful
examination Of the whole subject in
all its bearings, to decide how far they
should extend, and when and in what
manner they should be made. APP
plause. If there be any who fear
that your action in this or any other
subject will actually be injurious to
any interest or even afford a reasonable
cause of alarm, am quite sure they
will be agreeaAy disappointed. Zap,
plause.

The following utterance from
Speaker Carlisle will show what his
true sentiments are on the tariff
question. Every true Democrat can
endorse it fully: 81 think it entire
ly safe to say that while there is a
very general feeling of dissatisfac-
ton with the existing system of
unequal and unjust tariff taxation,
there is no disposition anywhere to
strike a radical, much less a fatal
blow at any of the great mechanical
or manufacturing interests of the
country, nor is it necessary, in my
judgment, to strike such a blow in
order to afford reasonable degree
of relief to the people. We can not,
as responsible legislators, close our
eyes to the fact that under this sys-
tenn, whether it was originally wise
or unwise, large and valuable in
terests have grown up; that great
masses of capital have been with
drawn from other pursuits and en-
barked in manufacturing enterprises
and that labor, following, as it al
ways does, where capital leads, has
been to large extent diverted from
its previous channels, and has per-
manently identified itself with these
various interests. In any revision
that may be. made, proper regard
should be had for the welfare of
these great interests, and they
should be carefully considered, not
alone, not as something separate and
distinct from the other interests of
the country not as the special IA
vOrites of the Government, having
peculiar claims upon its bounty,
but in connection with every other
legitimate interest in the country,
all being recognized and treated as
equally entitled to our favorable
consideration"

The Tobacco Tax.

The CHRONICLE wants the inter
nal revenue tax taken off of tobacco.
That is a part of the political creed
we expressed some time ago, and
we are of the same opinion still. If
any one will convince us that it is
any benefit to the producer to have
the product of his toll taxed in this
way we will alter our belief on the
subject, but until we are SO convinced
we will advocate what we consider
the interest of large portion of our
patrons and clamOr for the removal
of the tobacco tax. One of the most
important questions that the pres
ent Congress will have to consider
will be a reduction of the revenue
and some means to prevent a large
surplus of money from accumulat-
ing in the national treasury. One
way to accomplish that end should
be to take the tax off of tobacco.
The government was supported be-
fore the war without this tax and
don't need it now. There is no
more justice in taxing tobacco than
there would be in taxing cotton or
sugar. The thing is wholly iniqui-
tous and we want to see it go.

Let us wait for the action OF Con-
gress before we indulge in such harsh
criticism. The election of Carlisle
does not commit the party to free

the tariff at this session of Congress
necessarily do so. The Democratic
marty is already committed to tariff
reform and, though we agree with the
Citizen as to the unwisdom of attempt
ing anything of the kind at this ses-

of the majority. We will support a
movement for tariff reform whenever

The DiStIiIerS Disturbed.
nShMiIln Rnmnnr

The distillers throughout the
State are much agitated over the
recent decisions of the Supreme
Court, and are of the opinion that
Gov. Bate should call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature to relieve
them. Under the construction of
the assessment law of 1882, there is
scarcely a manufacturer in the
State who will not be forced TO pay
a back tax to the amount of the Ii
cense for wholesale dealers, and
many of them the double tax as
wholesale and retail dealers. This
will lay quite an heavy burden on
the small distIllers and, no doubt,
force many to shut down their con-
Germs. The effect of the decision
will be to make all manufacturers
of whiSkey take out wholesale Ii
censes, or force them to sell eXclu-
siVely to wholesale dealers. Here
tofore they have been selling d.
rectIy and largely to salOOn-keepers
and druggists, and thus saving to
themselves the commissions that
would have gone to the wholesale
dealer. Some have also been sell
ing directly 10 cOnSuIleTS, Oul OOti
practises must now stop, unless
Wholesale and retail privileges are
secured. Wholesale dealers, we
suppose, will not be complaining at
the Supreme Court, since benefit
must follow to them. The distil-
lers, however, are loud in their con-
domination and have prepared a
test case in Franklin County to be
carried before Judge j. J. Williams,
and express themselves as confident
Of ii favorable decision from him.
OF course an appeal VIII be taken,
whatever may be the decision of
the Circuit judge, and several en-
inent Middle Tennessee lawyers
will make the endeavor to convince
the honorable Supreme Court of
their error in the recent holding at
Knoxville.

NEWS IN BRIEF .
Congress convened Monday.

|
| Hon. John q. Carlisle, of Kentucky, was
| elected Speaker of the House., Monday.
Clark, of Missouri, was elected Clerk OF
the House, defeating Atkins, of Tennessee,
by very close vote.
jim Wintersmith was elected Doorkeeper
of the House, and Lycurgas Dalton, Post
master.
The vote shows that Carlisle received no
vote from Connecticut, Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and New York.
The trial of O'Donnell, for the murder of
Carey, resulted in a verdict of guilty and he
will probably be hung at Newgate on the
18th.
The Tennessee delegation voted on the
Speaker question as follows Pearce, Taylor,
Mcmillan, Warner and Ballentine, for Car
Isle; Caldwell and Dibrell, for Randall, and
Casey Young for Cox.
The people of New England and New
York were treated last week to peculiar
and interesting sort of sunset, being deep
and lingering redness never seen before i'll
those regions. Similar phenomena have
been observed in England, too, during the
past few weeks. The scientists are divided
in their opinions as to the origin and mean
ing of such displays, but they are probably
to be accounted for according to welI-known
meteorological laws.
Carlisle's election will make the tenth
time that Kentucky has furnished the
Speaker since the foundation of the Govern
ment. Virginia ranks next in this respect,
seven Speakers having been taken from
that State. Pennsylvania has furnished
the Speaker six times; Massachusetts, and
Indiana five times each Maine, New Jer-
sey and North Carolina, three times each
Tennessee twice, and New York, Connect
cut, Ohio, South Carolina and Georgia, once
each.
Train No. l, on the Memphis & Little Rock
road, bound for Little Rock, made narrow
escape, Tuesday evening, from wreck and
robbery. At the switch track, located at the
twenty-five mile post, several spikes were
drawn, the switch displaced, and when the
west-bound train came along, one car was
ditched and the train stopped. Four men,
armed with shotguns, mounted the cars and
demanded that the doors be opened, which
was refused by the officials. The express
messengers, realizing the situation, opened
fire upon the would be robbers, who fired
one shot at the engineer and fled, followed
by the engineer, William Cook, who was
armed with a monkey wrench. They dis
appeared, however, in the dense forest
skirting the railroad on either side, and after
twenty minutes delay the train was enabled
to go on its way.
The following is the vote by States for
Speaker in the Democratic caucus:

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


Our space doesn't justify us in
giving full publication of the
lengthy and tedious message of the
President and we have therefore
made the following synopsis from
which our readers can gather its
most salient points.
The President thinks large dim
mutton of the National revenue un-
wise. 1.-THE results of the legisla-
ton of last Congress-" he says,
shave not yet become sufficiently
apparent to justify any redical
revision or sweeping modification
of existing laws" A contraction of
the currency is threatened, he
thinks, by the calling in of the 3 per
cent, bonds which are redeemable
at the pleasure of the Government.
OF the $3.50, 000,00 in bonds deposit
ed by National banks to secure their
circulation nearly 5000, 100000 con-
sist of these per cents. The mes
sage says: "For averting the threat
ened contraction two COURSES have
been suggested, either of which is
probably feasible. One is the issu
ance of new bonds having many
years to run, bearing low rate of
interest, and exchangeable upon
specified terms of those now out
standing. The other course, which
commends itself TO my own judg-
ment as the better, is the enactment
of law repeating the tax on circu-
IatiOn, and permitting the banks TO
issue notes for an amount equal to
80 per cent. of the market value, in
stead of as now the face value of
their deposited bonds. Iagree with
the secretary In the belief that the
adoption of this plan would afford
the necessary relief"
The President opposes govern
mental control OF the telegraphs.
He recommends one cent postage
on local letters. As to national
aid to education he says, II
have previously referred to the
alarming state of illiteracy in GER
tain portions of the country and
again submit for the consideration
of congress, whether some federal
aid ShOuld he extended IN nuhIic
primary education wherever ade-
quate provision therefor has not al
ready been made"
He recommends the passage of
another civil rights bill within con-
constitutional limits. AS remedy
for troubles with the Mormons he
says: 81 favor, therefore, the repeal
of the act upon which the existing
government depends, and recon-
mend the assumption by the ma
tional legislature of the entire pOllt-
ical control of the territory and the
establishment of commission with
such powers and duties as shall be
delegated to it by law"
The president recommends that
congress take steps to provide for
presidential succession in case of
the death, removal, resignation or
inability OF the president to dis
charge his duties.

The following is the vote by States fol
Speaker in the Democratic caucus:


A daring attempt to rob the'Southern Ex-
press agent at Corinth, Miss, was made last
Saturday morning about four o'clock, and
was frustrated by the bravery of the agent,
but at the expense of his life. Mr.. A1onZO
McWilliams, the agent, had Just placed in
his safe large money run just received a
few minutes before from the east bound
Memphis & Charleston train, and was about
to go into his freight room when a masked
man suddenly entered the room with a
drawn pistol and demanded his safe key.
Without waiting for a reply, he fired on
McWilliams, striking him about four inches
below the right nipple, infiicting a wound
from which he died on Sunday. McWil-
liams, though desperately wounded, dashed
his lamp, which he happened to have in his
hand, at the robber, and, drawing his own
pistol, fired three shots, with what effect is
unknown, except that the robber took to
flight and though it is certain that Nc
Williams fired three shots in the room, the
mark of only one can be discovered, and 1T
is hoped that the others are lodged in the
robber.
Memphis Appeal John Mebane, a we'll
TODD darkey of the Ninth Civil District, was
sentenced by Judge Eldridge Monday to
twelve months in the workhouse for an act
of barbarous inhuEanity. Because his
daughter, a likely young woman, eighteen
years of age and fully matured, gossiped
about a neighbor, ne took her out of her bed
at four O'Clock in the morning, made her
strip stark naked, bound her wrists together
with one end of rope, threw the other over
a rafter. drew upon it until her toes barely
touched the floor, and securing her in this
position, dashed her with heavy bull-whtp
for one hour and half, and until sunrise.
Not an inch on her body was left untouched.
Her breasts, back and arms, neck and face
were lacerated in the most fearful manner.
When he had finished he united the rope,
allowed her to sink bleeding and uncon-
scfous to the floor, and there left her. She
was found by some neighbors and succored.
The ruffiianly father ought to have been
sent to the penitentiary.
