LIFE N MENPnIs.-Mernphis Tennessee,
is engaged in laborious effort TO rival Bos-
ton and New York in deeds OF violence.
The papers Of the 22d inst, contained the
following bloody items:
man at the fair ground managed to let
his horse become unmanaceable aud to run
over and hurt woman and two children.
He stopped the horse aud was about to get
out OF ms buggy and apologize, when some
one stepped forward and gave him blow
with q cane. He drew a knife and ran up
to the crowd, asking who struck him. 4
man named Butler avowed himself TIE man,
which, however, he was not, and drawing q
pistol, it went of by accident, and sho, in
the stomach and fatally wounded the man
who had knocked the fellow out o. the bug
gy. The man killed was named Mason
The one who had started the row by run
ming over the woman and children was a
MIR. Lewis. On the evening If the same
day, there was dispute between two men,
names unknown, and one plunged knife
into the other. About s o'clock, on the
same night, at the Commercial Hotel, Dr.
Frank Gibbs and one keene got into dis
pute, and from that INTO a fight, Gibbs stab
bling keene with bowie knife three times
and killing him ut once. Keene was waiting
to receive his wife and children, who had
been placed on steamer at Evansville, ex
pecting to meet him at Memphis. The night
before this tragedy, at the same house, ID.
Cochrell, Esq, Of the holel, and DIR. Hooks
had an afiray, in which they wounded each
other with canes. and cut with knives for a
time when Cochrcll shot Hooks with pis-
tol, giving him dangerous wound in the
lungs.

Removal of Gov. Walker.

Washington ruInOrS, originating IN and
propagated by the fusion papers, week ago,
have ascribed to President Buchanan pur-
pose to remove Walker from the Governor
ship of Kansas, for the just act of setting
aside the fraudulent election returns OF the
Oxford district These rumors were gotten
UP probably TO influence the elections in the
northern States last Monday.
The day after the election. the same Wash
ington correspondents, announce that
at is now aSccrtaned on n specific in
duiry that the reports of last night, which
were prevalent in usually reliable and well
informed circles, Of the intention on tn.
part If the Administration to remove Gov.
Walker and Secretary Stanton, is without
The least foundation"
And later still, another despatch says:
.Thc President Is much annoyed by the
pubIishc! rumoT relative to Gov. W aihcr >
removal. lie says that il * erroneous, and
that there Is no intcItIon to remove him"
The truth i, very probably, that nothing
If the kind was thought Of at Washington.
The ground on which i; was said Walker
was to be removed, was his diSobeying or
ders in deciding upon the question of fraud
in election returns But even this technical
ground does not exist. Walker went be
hind 10 returns. He rejected the Oxford
returns for fatal informaiities alone, and his
dcuunciatious Of the fraud was incidental
merely.

counties in this State, as scatseringly re-
ceived, all indicate great changes in favor OF
the democracy. Cook county elects repub-
lican ticket by 1000, against majority OF
$500 last fall. In Grundy county, part of
the democratic ticket was elected. FIRE.

goes republican By 200, against 1877 last

X HONEST BANKEg-A Coop STORY FOR
THE TINES. The Missouri Democrat tells the
following:
At the height of the panic and run upon
the banks and bankers in Louisville, Ger
man banker of that city, named John
Smidt, found that he had paid out all his
money, and that he was compelled to stop.
Instead Of writing a card for publication, he
announced his suspension by hand bill at
fixed to his open doors, in which he said he
had no money on hand, but expected in =
day or two to make some collections, and
that ne would then resume payment. Ac-
cordingly, III day or two, another handful
appeared on his doors, announcer that he
had collected some fifteen thousand dollars
which he would pay to those OF his creditors
who should first call on him for it. This
was soon paid out, and the frs, handful
again displayed. and in a few days he an
nounced that he had collected some more
money which he was ready 10 pay on de-
mand This manly and straightforward
course had the effect which was to have
been anticipated. His German fellow citi-
zeus seeing that John Smidt was ia earnest
about paying his debts, and was not dis
posed to higge for an extension, conclu led
that he was a man who oush, to be sustain
ed, and accordingly cane for" ard and depo
sited the sums they had Withdrawn, and in
duc-d others to do the same thing. At the
last accounts there Was no run on John
Smidt. He was doing perfect land Office
business, and was able 10 assist those who
were in want ty the money of those 10
whom hia pluck had given coutiiclss.

THE MoRMoNs.-The Nebraska correspon-
dent of the New York Times, writes under
date of Oct. %:
News have just reached here from our
frontier Mormon settlement on the Rock
Fork, Plattee River, near the mouth of Beav-
err, teat some seceeders from the Mormon
church at Salt Lake, reached the settlement
few days since, bringing the news that a
large force of Mormon militia, under Brig
ham Young and II. c. Kimball, were pre-
pairing to leave Salt Lake City, with provis-
ions for six weeks campaign, in the noun
tains, and thus, il possible, to stop the pas
sage Of the U. S. troops.
Although the positive destination was q
secret, yet it was generally supposed that
at the pas in the mguntains near the Bear
River cutoff, or at Steeple Rocks, the stand
would be made with an almost certainty of
whipping out the entire force sent against
them.

A LovEK's TE.GsDY.-The quiet little vii
LACE of Halluw.il, was aCitated on Monday
of last week hy a tragedy of uncommon in
terest. Mr.. Bryant, of Pennington, had
been paying his addr, sses TO young lady
Hallowell. She had recently declined rec.iv-
ing any further attentions from him, and
bad requested that her letters might be re-
turned TO her. On Monday, Bryant visited
the factory, called the Young lady cut, and
proceeded with her TO her boarding house,
where an interview took place. On leas ins
the room, Bryant requested her to pass out
a head Of him, which she did, and immedI-
atev heard the snap OF percussion cap
Looking round, she observed pistol in
Bryant's hand, directed to her. She imne-
diat,ly rushed towards him for the purpose
OF Selling it, when he turned it towards
himself and fired. He Immediately fell
dead, having received two balls in his head.
The escape of the young lady was re-
markable one. Bryant had provided him
self with double bsrrelled pistol, and, as
he supposed, had loaded both barrels with
ball; but, instead Of that, he had put both
balls into one barrel, and the barrel he ired
at the young lady, was the one that did OF
contain any bail.-Augusta (-He) Age.
