THE M-URDERERoF MR.. STEWART AR
EEsrED.-As was predicted at the time
Of the outrageous assault upon the person
Of Mr.. Stewart, the watch Of which he
was robbed would be instrumental in
bringing the murderer to Justice. On
Monday evening last, a negro called upon
an officer Of the police force, and in
formed him Of the whereabouts or the
scouudrel, who gives his name as Martin
Fields. The ficerproceede 10 the place
directed, on Shelby street, and arrested
Fields and lodged him in jail. The trad
ing ofthe watch bearing the name Of Mr..
L. p. Stewart, to another negro, led to
his discovery and arrest. Fields is Of
copper colored hue quite young in years
and claims 10 have accompanied Mr..
Clay Wright Of Ferguson's Brigade,
throughout the late war, on the South
n side. He also claims to have an in
faIlible cure for al cases Of rheumatism.
The evidence against him IS ofa very
positive character.

On WHOM DOES IT REST Mr.. John
evans states that On the twenty-dnh Of
last there appeared an adver-
isement in the Chicago Times, calling
two hundred carpenters, two hundred ,
lasons and brieklayers, and five hum :
red lab0rers and their wives, To 90 to
Iemphis, where the advertisers, Messrs
ord & Co, Of Chicago, and Messrs.
* Co, of Memphis, guaranteed 10 \
ZEN employment up0a their arrival at q
ais point. The masons and carpenters d
-ere 10 receive five dollars per day for q
leir services, and bosrd was TO be OBJ s.
for them at six dollars per week. j
heir fare from Chicago tothis point was
b be refunded upon their arrival here. y
r.. Evans read the advertisement, called
pom Messrs. Ford & Co, and made az a
angemeHts under the conditions above T
ientioned. He paid two dollars, which u
ERE the fees charged for the iuforma- 4.
on, and Mr.. Ford, OF the intelligence a
flee, requested Mr.. Evans to meet him y
. the depot Of the Illinois Cen e
al Railroad, and the request was
implied with. Mr.. Evans and his COM q
then purchased their tickets, g
.arted for Memphis, and arrived here
n New Years day. Their surprise and !
idjgnatiou can well be imagined when
were informed by Mr.. POOLS part Il
er chat their services were not needed, :
ld, furthermore, that they were never !,
for. What he wanted was labgrers, O.
al not tradesmen. Th;@ is the sub p
ance Of Dir. Evans statement. and he 's
authorized to speak FOR his ffty-nine \
,mpauious. From this it ~, uld appear %
lat the grossest outrage and wrong has
zen perpetrated On these poor men by "a
me one, who, extorting two dollars +.
each man, sent them to a strange
ty, arriving here without suf-
,ieut means 70 procure for themselves Il
lard or lodging. The guilty parties,
hoover they are, should be ferreted
1t, and held up 10 the execration and N
om of an honest men. These men Il
that Ford * Co., at Chicago, are p
agents for Pool 4 Co, Of Mem y
his. Is this true? !
