Terrible Affair near Memphis.

MEMPHIS, Sept. Cat o'clock this
morning band of negroes went to the
house of T.. "A. Alexander, on the Her
nando road, three miles below this city,
and called him. He arose and struck a
light, and was fired upon through win
dow. He was wounded severely, but
struggled to fasten the door. Before
Alexander could secure the door four
armed negroes sprang into the room,
firing at him, one ball taking effect I'M
his chest, MORALLY wounding him.
After sacking the house the negroes
set it on fire, but Mrs. Alexander having
aroused the neighbors, they arrived in
time to extinguish the flames.
Mr.. Alexander is still alive but no
hopes of his recovery are entertained.
A negro named Nose Cockril was
arrested to-day as one of the parties,
and detectives are on the track of the
others tonight.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 5.-Pinchback,
the mulatto recently installed in jew
ellis place as Senator from Second Dist
riot Orleans, rising to question ofpriv-
ilege in replying to newspaper para
graphs concerning him, after charging
the people of this city with numbering
and manifesting growing disposition
to murder men for political opinion and
the color of the skin, uttered the follow
ing:
IL want to tell them to beware. |
want to tell them they have nearly rca-
ched the end of their string. The next
outrage of the kind which they commit
will be the signal for the dawn of retri-
bution-a rctribution Of which they
have not dreamed-a signal that will
cause ten thousand torches to be APP
piled to this city; for patience will then
have ceased to be a virtue, and this city
will be reduced to ashes"
lie was here called to order, but. pro-
ceeding with his speech. reiterated his
threat, adding notification to the DEM
ocratic party that they (the negroes)
propose to take the matter into their
own hands in future, and have peace.
if they have to conquer it.

that State, that 'if Pennsylvania and

carry Illinois by thirty thousand at all
events we will carry the State in No
vembcr, all reports ITO the contrary not
withstanding. We claim this district
(Judd's) by 1900 certain. We will
carry Cullom's (Springfcld) district
and Bakers (twellth,) and the thir-
teenth, and Bromwell's (scventh.) This
with O'Brien for the State at large
gives us a gain of six members, which,
added to the present three, gives us
nine out of fourteen. We are strip
ping for fearful fight here and will

The Forrest Conversation.

We publish Oh the first page of our
paper the report of conversation Gen.
Forrest is alleged to have had with a
Cincinnati newspaper correspondent.
We prefaced the correspondence with
the remark that it was of doubtful re-
liability, as we did not think the Gen
eral would readily give utterance to all
imputed to him on the occasion. Since
that part of our paper was worked off,
we have seen Card from General F.,
alleging that he had been misrepresent-
ed, and explaining what he did say. We
admire boldness and candor at all times,
but there is time to speak and time
to keep silence. The man who wears
his heart upon his sleeve now, and tells
all he knows ard believes, and occa-
sionally more too, will get badly pick
cd, just as has been done in the case of
the "Wizzard of the Saddle" 1t will
do him, and the cause he wishes to pro-
mote, no harm to be little more reti-
cent and discreet when such davis and
jays are about in future. Lies and mis-
representations travel so fast now-a-
days that the correction never overtakes
them until the mischief intended has
been accomplished.

From Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, September S.-There is re-
liable information here to the effect that
the State authorities have brought into
and distributed throughout several
counties some $4,000 stands of arms.
Last night $1,000 stands were quietly
brought into this city, across the river
in skitis, and are now stored somewhere
near the arsenal. These movements arc
quietly made. in anticipation of an out
break at the coming election. 1t is re-
ported that the Democrats are making
similar preparations.

ernor of Rhode Island, was refused

Hon. Thomas Ewing.

We stated last week, on direct and in
disputable authority, that ex-President
Fillmore, though taking no active part
in politics, favored the election of Sey-
mour and Blair, and would vote for
them. The Cincinnati Commercials
Republican-of recent date, contains
a letter from the Hon. THOMAS EWING,
of Ohio, whom every Wing will re-
member with respect and veneration, in
which he urges, in strong and eloquent
terms, the election of the Democratic
ticket as the only hope of saving the
government. The Hon. Mr.. MAYNARD
and others are in the habit of claiming
that the radical party OF to-day is the
Wing party of other days, under ano-
Their name but advocating the same
identical policy and principles. 1t is
perhaps hardly worth while to dispute
such high authority, but we would like
some one to show us or refer us to a
single prominent Old Line Wing who
is now acting with the radical party.
We mean men of the old school who
commanded the confidence and respect
of the masses Of that party as states
men in those days when there were
giants in the land. Not one-not one.
Only a few are left, but wherever you
do find one of them he is opposed to
radicalism, and lifting his prophetic
voice to warn the country of the terri
BILE and fatal consequences of continu-
ing that party longer in power.
Mr. Ewing, since the disbanding of
the old Wing party, has been acting
with the Republicans. We shall endea-
vor to publish at least portion of his
letter next week.

The Taxes for this Year.

Here is a short article-from the
Nashville Union and American--which
tells it all
Has 1t ever occurred to the people of
Tennessee to look into the amount of
taxes they will have to pay this year to
support the Brownlow administration
The tax on property last year was twen-
ty-tive cents on the 500; this year it is
forty cents. The gross tax on property
and polls last year amounted to $l,2S6,
S35. The increase in the tax on proper
ty will bring this up to about $4,000
600. Add the tax on privileges, and the
taxpayers will find that they will be
called upon for something more than
three millions. Where does all this
money go? 1t requires only about q
quarter of a million to pay the interest
on the State debt proper, and the bal.
ance, nearly three millions, goes to sup
port the Brownlow administration and
its pensioned minions. The men who
pay about nine-tenths of these taxes are
DISTINGUISHED and rendered ineligible to
hold Office in this State But the State
taxes, enormous as they are in amount,
are not all the people ofTennessee have
to pay. Their county and municipal
taxes have been largely increased to pay
the salaries and expenses of the new
offices that have been created for the
benefit of eleemosynary Radicals. 1t
will thus be seen that the people of
Tennessee are about as heavily taxed as
they can possibly bear. And they are
allowed no part or lot, except an insig-
nificant minority of Radicals, in fixing
