SPEAK, Mr. PAssMoRE.--There is a
large number of Conservative voters in
the city who will not support Beecher
or Fitch under any circumstances. The
administration of Mr. Lohaud has not
given satisfaction. Mr. Passmore is the
man for the occasion. He is not obnox-

or Beecher or Loaand. He is a man of
confessed executive ability, and would
do honor to the Chief Magistracy OF
Memphis. Ifhe will consent to run, he
will receive two-thirds of the votes in the

| Relative to receiving a bride for pur'
chasing a poor.house building, little
Beecher procures an affidavit from Capt
Lanford, Deputy Sheriff. Capt Lanford
says;
While Dr. p. d. Beecher was physician
in charge of Shelby County Poor-house
Hospital be was instructed by Acting
Commissioner, Sheriff Winters, TO find
some appropriate building and grounds
for said temporary poor house. After
some days was requested by Sheriff Win
tiers to 60 with DR.. Beecher and look at
several buildings and barracks. Among
them was the building now occupied and
used by the county. | reported my
opinion aud views TO Judge Leonard aud
Sheriff Winters, as to its being the best
and cheapest place for said purpose; in
which action and report DIR. Beecher
took no part. nor was be even present
The purchase was made upon my own
recommendation, and was a good one.
That Captain Lanford's affidavitis true
we are satisfied. But the points: Was
it understood that if certain building
we're chosen, Dr. Beecher should receive
all paid for it over SCOOP If any such
understanding existed, Of course Capt
Lanford knew nothing about it
Before little Beecher again denounoes,
by wholesale, any charges as false and
slanderous," he should secure better
proof than Illinois friends and Court
records They are about the most dam
aging Endorsements he could bring TO
bear; and we advise him to fail back on

"original Union men in remote cor
ners Of the South, who write terrible let

character, and as easily assert his claims
to decsncy as BY pronounoing false
