The weapons were pistols--distance

exchanged, Forney being twice
wounded, and the officer once; nei-

both sides, the seconds interposed.

ell played " Mariev In the Pearl of Sa-
10Y, to q crowded house last night. Her
rendition Of her part is beyond all COM
parison the most lifelike and beautiful
piece OF acting that we have ever seen.
Ii Is perfect, and she completely carried
the audience away with her from the
very beginning to the end of the per-
f0rmance. Mr.. Collier, az "Pierot,"
was not all that we could wish, but Der
haps his acting did not appear TO the
best advantage, being c~ontrasted with
The superb and lifeiike d~elineation of
Miss Mitchell. The other characters in
this romantic play were well sustained
by the gentlemen and ladies of the COM
pany. Our little fAvorite, Mrs. Cline,
was as sine always Is, charming as "Con-
ehoD," and Mrs. Nellie Taylor exeelled
as Margaret" The selections of the
orchestra last night wereremarkably fine,
and played with q splendid effect. Prof.

credit for the proficiency of his band,
and the good taste which he always dis
plays. The play this evening Is the

NEGRO MAN.

A negro, named John Osborn, was az
rested by the Second District police last
evening Tor apprOpriatiDg q trunk and
some money belonging to another negro
named Peter Wesley. The circum-
stances 60 to prove that the negro is
susceptible Of 9 very high degree Of edu-
cation sad cultivation in matters of dew
iltry AID rascality, il in nothing else.
Peters own account is, that he was about
10 return to mis- home in Sardis, but ar
rived st the depot too late for the train.
While hesitstiDg whether to bring his
trunk back to his stopping place or leave
it there, another dsrkey-the aforesaid
John Osborn-came up and informed
Peter that be too vas going on the train
and they would go together. He, how
ever, would first have to go to the
claim agency of Meyer & Dei-
rick and draw his money, some
Jur hundred dollars, after which they
could have q nice time. Peter suspected
nothing, and leaving his trunk at the
depot, accompanied his new found
friend to the claim agency. When there,
Osborn went IN stairs alone, but soos
returned to. Peter, whom he left standing
on the street and told him hat be must
have five dollars to get his check with.
Peter shelied out the money, and o.
born, af.er going up stairs and remain
ing a few minutes, returned, and told
MIN that he had the mOney-every cent
Of it.
stopping Ia front Of q house on Main
street, he Esked Peter TO walt for him
while he went in to tell his aunt "good
bye" Peter waited for some minutes,
out John did not come; and he at last
TO " smell a mice" It suddenly
dawAed on him that he had been swim
lied, and the thought struck aim that
would go to the depot and steal
trunk also, and he put for the depot
- fast IS his legs could carry him to
it, "Sure ~enoUgh,H his suspicious
proved true, and when neal the station
be met q carriage With his trunk on the
iriver's seat, and his false friend inside.
daiiing the driver, he ordered him to
stop right dsr," and as he did so Osborn
.1mpsd cut and ran eff, Peter following
md shouting "stop thief" Afteran ex-
.iting Chase the fugitive was caught and
edged in the Second District station.
Peter got most Of his money and his
runk, and went on his way home a
wiser dSrkey than when he came to
own.

give you below the substance Of q very
important proclamation which will be
issued by Gov. BrOwnlow on Wednesday
morning:
WHEREAS, There exists IN Middle
and West Tennessee lawIess bands who
set at defiance civil law, and, ia certain
localities, render it impossible for the
civil officers to enforce the laws of the
State; and, whereas, these masked viii
lains, called Ku-Klux, are taking prisO-
ners from jails and hanging them with
out trial, and are abdueting passengers
from railroad trains, and notifying con-
ducC0rs of Northern birth to leave the
State, they having driven four eonduc-
tors from one road and, whereas, GER
tain ambitious men have made incendi-
airy speeches, advising the overthrow Of
the State Government, thereby eneOur-
aging these bands and, whereas, certain
FebeI newspapers have encouraged these
men by denying the existence of the
Ku-Klux, by ridiouIing their acts and
failing to condemn them and, where's,
the Legislature has amended the Militia
Law, and given me authority to meet
such outrsges
"NoW, therefore, I, William G. Brown
low, Governor OF Tennessee, do call upon
