A GARD FROM MR.. F. K, TUTT.

LEXINGTON, Mo-, August 20, 1884.
EDITOR INTERCHANGEABLE reply to a
card signed by Josiah Mann, late candidate
for assessor, / have this to say. Presuming
that l am the individual Mt whom he aims his
fiery darts, l do not pretend to deny that l
was very much Interested In the race for as
SCISSOR, a near relative of mine was o candi-
date for that Office, and l entered the race to
win if possible.
With regard to the circulation of a certid-
cate that Mr.. Mann was appointed by Elk
Governor McClnrg, 1 made no such state
ment to anybody. The language used by
me which contained all the Information I had
on the subject of Mr.. Mnnn's official career as
assessor of Warren county, is rs follows:
ssTaking the order In which the votes nre
transcribed on the abstract in this office, 1
conclude that Nr. Mann was either on the
~know-nothing ticket or received his chief
support from that party and the radicals.
This is only a conclusion however, In which I
may be mistaken or not" This is all l had to
say concerning Mr.. Mann, and so fur rs l am
concerned exhibited this to a very few
friends in the western and to none In the
eastern portion of the county, and his could
hardly have affected his interests or beaton
him in the race for it amounted to nothing,
and was not received by me until two days
before the election. l am inclined to think
that the height of my offending was the yea!
with which l entered the canvass in the in
tcrcst of my klnsman, and although for sever
al days I thought the result doubtful. 1 should
have uttered no word of complaint had he
been beaten, but rs I have always done, as a
democrat, 1 would have accepted the result
and buckled on my armor and battled for
the election of the ticket and every Mann on
1t. Respectfully, FRANK X. TUT.

A PRESIDENTIAL CABINET ALBUM
The bureau Of printing and engraving at
Washington has completed its addition to
the cabinet album for the present admins
tration. tits probably not generally known
that such an album exists. 1t is a custom
for the bureau to prepare fine steel engrav-
ings of each President and his cabinet.
These engravings are in the highest style
of the art, and when bound in correspond
ing style make handsome and unique
volume. The book thus made contains the
portraits of each President and his cabinet
from Washington down, also views of the
White House, capitol, etc. Only a sufficient
number of copies are made to present the
President and members of his cabinet with
one each, and retain one copy at the, bureau
of printing and engraving. The volume is
a very interesting one, and, of course, quite
rare, for although there have been twenty
one Presidents and 212 cabinet officers since
the beginning of Presidents and cabinets
in 1889, the number is very small in a ma
ton of $4,000, 900, and the habit of printing
these books only dates back half thattime.-

A MATTER OF HIsToRY.-In the year
1855, the State of Franklin was formed out
of portion Of North Carolina, embracing
the present territory of the State of Tennes-
see, and the Legislature of the aforesaid
State of Franklin passed the following fee
and salary bill: ellis EXcellency, the Gov

or, the Chief Justice, 800 deer skins; the
Secretary to his Excellency the Governor,
800 raccoon skins; the Treasurer of the State,

truth, just as tobacco was once made to an
swer the purpose of currency in Virginia.
