A Radical Merchant Wants to Shoot o
ie Radical Judge.
From the -Hemphis Avalanche.

Radicalism was good deal exercised yes
terday by fracas that occurred the day
before. Nobody understood exactly wh
1t was about Some said that it was rolit
ical others, that it was something about
woman those best Informed considered
it both. 1t seems that two highly respect
able ladies' once upon time entered the
store of Main street merchant. They
were goody to look upon they were mar
ried ladies they were faulty connections
of a radical judge. The husband of one of
these ladies keeps store. The ladies' each
bought goods. One paid, and when the
other asked for her bill, she had slipped
into her hand the following little note:
2 our bill is settled. Go out Beale st,
to Causey, down Causey to Second street,
beyond station.house l03 Browns av ,nue
at o'clock :" 4 90 4 saU
When this note was handed, the look
that accompanied it seemed to say: Go
and be happy go! 7gol go!'' She didn' t
so. She didn't want to go. Bat she
handed the note to the Radical judge, with a
request that he would ascertain what kind
of show there was at No. lO3 Brown
avenue. The judge went to the store oil
the mer chant, called for and settled the
lady's bill, and left without informing the
merchant that his episte had been shown.
The judge then went to Browns avenue,
and ascertained that the place was luxur-
iantiy furnished and much resorted to, but
not exactly the place he would wish any OF
his family to go to. He kept the matter,
however, to himself The merchant has
been devoted to southern rights, which
was certainly commendable, but before OF
after the negro bounties began to come on,
aud the colored "pussons' began to be,
come more brisk, he applied for admission
into Lincoln council but Lincoln council
concluded that the virtue of their present
members was all they could stand, and
the merchant was blackbaled. When a
man wants to get into good thing it won
do for him to give it up at one lebuf; so,
failing to get into the white loyal league,
this excellent merchant was pressed for ad
mission into the Brownow conneil, col
ored loyal league. l.3Hg2
But the colored folks don't want any
more of "dese white fellows cryin' round
dem, and again the black balls ruled ou,
political afhnities. Perhaps this is all q
myth, perhaps there was not any merchant
| or any black -balling in loyal leagues, or any
| notifying other councils that they musn'
| take this merchant in We are not
prophet, not the son of a prophet, ane
town gossip must settle how much of ths
story is true. The merchant seems to have
| called on the judge, who was suspected o
| evering the black .halling through IN know
what he had against him. The prObabil-
! ity is that the judge wouldn't tell. So, OF
| Monday, the merchant and two friend
called at the judges house, and, not find
| ing him there, proceeded to the door of th'
courtroom, where pistol was drawn,
push given, and the assertion made that b,
shouldn' enter the courtroom until he ex
planned himself This was, however, avoid
ed by the opportune arrival of police Off
GERS, who took the merchant in charge
Yesterday he was charged for carrying con
cealed weapons, no other charge beinl
pressed.
