A Tennessee Marshal Asking Advice OF the
National Authorities.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 3.-United States
Marshal Tillman has called the attention Of
Commissioner Miller at Washington to the
constant violation of the Internal Revenue
laws in Grundy county, where, owing to, the
large number t illicit distilleries in opera.
tion, q great deal of lawlessness has pre-
vailed for some time. The citizens of Tracy
City recently organized Law and order
committee to apprehend aud punish every
person guilty of crime. The attention OF the
revenue authorities here having been called
to the running of crooked stills, United
States Marshall Tillman, a few days ago,
appointed T. f. Csrrick, of Tracy City, a
deputy collector, and instructed him to raid
the distilleries Carrick yesterday resigned
his position, stating that as no provision for
compensation has been made, he cannot
secure q posse to aid him. The roughs,
who bid defiance to the State and National
laws, declare they will resist capture to the
death, and should the Washington suthori'
ties order the Marshal to send an armed
force into Grundy county, tragic develop
uents may be expected. In past years
revenue officers have had several bloody en-.
gsgements in the Tennessee mountain coun'
ties, in which some were killed and wounded
Oh both sides.

Close Up Cleveland Iron Mills by Force
$500 Out.
CLEVELAND, o., July 3.-Early this morn
ing thousand strikers assembled near the
iron mills in tn, Eighteenth ward. Many
of them were Poles and Bohemians. aud
carried pistols and knives. Men going to
work were stopped, and Ed. Lille, a
foreman in the merchant mills, was
pretty roughly handled, but he
escaped. At o'clock the crowd augmented
a hundred fold, marched to the plate mills
where work was going on as usual. No re-
duction was intended here, and employees
were willing to proceed and let
the strikers DO as they pleased. The mob
overcsme the gatekeeper and swarmed into
the mill. The engines were stopped and
the mill closed. In the afternoon the same
programme was carried out at the Cleve
land Rolling Mill Compsnys blast furnace,
situated on the flats. The Collins
furnace, also the property of the Cleveland
Rolling Mill Company, was closed BY
strikers. This every mill and furnace
owned by the company were idle, making

Fully $500 men are now idle. An open
air meeting was held tonight, but no vio'
lance of any kind attempted.

CleTeland's Appointees VIII be Investi-
gated.
DETROIT, MICH., July 3.-Senstor Con-
ger, who has been in Washington most Of
the time since March 4th, was interviewed
last night as to what course the Republican
Senators are likely to take in respect to sp-
pointments made by President Cleveland
during the recess of Congress. He said
that they had exchanged views among
themselves and to certain extent formu-
lated plan in regard to action upon nom:-
nations to be made next winter, and I
might be set down as pretty certain that they
would coneede the Presidents Rb ,oluts
right to name men of his own choosing to
FIJI offices where terms have expired, and
the offices are in any way connected with
the policy of the administration. But the
Senate is entitled not only to consent to ap
pointments but to advise IN regard to them,
and in pursuance of this right, where re-
meysls from purely business offences have
been made during the recess, Republican
Senators will make careful inquiry into the
| causes of such removals. 1t is due to such
officers and their friends that this should be
done. When man has left his private
business and accepted an appointment
under the Government be has right to ex
pect TO retain the office if he attends strictly
10 its affairs, as long at least as Congress
has repeatedly expressed its opinion
that a term of Office should be
that is four years. The Ofsn-
siye partissuship" questions will certainly
be raised in the Senate. twill be some
thing like this: What las the person re-
moved done to make him an offensive par
risan? Has he done more than to exercise
his rights as an American citizenT II
these questions are answered by the state
ment that he has acted on Republican com
mil,ees and been largely instrumental in
keeping the Republican party IN power
then questions will be asked and investiga'
tons made concerning the man who is sp-
pointed in his place. Hsshe acted on Dem.
ocratic committees and has he been an Of
fensiye partisan on the Democratic side, the

Az IMPORTANT PoIsT.

A point of practice Of much interest TO
the lawyers Of the State was settled by the
Court Of Appeals yesterday, as follows: II
errors or supposed errors are committed bY
a court in It's rulings during the trial Of Q
case by q jury, the Appellant Court can not
review these rulings, first unless they are
objected to when made, and the point saved,
and bill Of exceptions taken, showing
these rulings, during the term Of the
Court; and secondly, unless new trial was
asked Of the Court below aud refused, aud
such refusal objected to in the Court below,
and this appears Of record And If either OF
these essentials is omnitted, the Appellant
Court can not review these rnlngs. Il can
not review them unless bills Of exception
were taken to them az above stated and a
new trial was asked and refused, though q
bill of exceptions was regularly taken to
such refusal and in this bill Of exceptions
these rulings Of the court during the trial
are fully stated, and it appears they were
erroneous, and that these erroneous rui'
| iugs caused the jury to find the verdict theJ
did find Nor can the Appellsu. Court re-
view such rulings BY the Judge daring the
trial in any case, though they we're excepted
to when made and regular bills Of excep
tons then taken, If no new trial wss asked
in the court below and refused, and suct
refusal objected to. and this be noted on tn:

Auditor Chenowith May Lose His Head.
WASHINGTON, July 3 Great commotion
was caused by the action of Auditor Cheno-
with in refusing to accept Mr.. Owen Kellsr
on partisan grounds. The action of the fist
Auditor was clearly asgrant violation OF
Civil Service law. and the restoration of
kellar, by order Of the Secretary, does not
release Mr.. Chenowith from the penalty
fixed for such q violation. The Secretary
is very much yexed at the occurrence.
There is some curiosity to see Just what will
be done with Mr.. Chenowith. He should
be peremptorily removed, it is said, and at
the very least be asked to resign.
