A telegram to Mr.. Frank s. Davis,
President of the First National Bank,
brought the sad intelligence this morning
that Mr.. C. P. Norris, the Vice President
of the Bank, died suddenly yesterday at
noon in St. Paul, Minnesota. Mr.. Nor
ris was native Of New Hampshire, but
for many years was a citizen of Ohio.
he came here over four years
ago, and by bis thorough gentlemanly
course toward everybody won large
circle Of friends. he leaves wife and
one or two children, who we're with him,
we understand, at the time of his death.
He had been in bad health for sometime,
suffering greatly from q disease of the
lungs. BE left here several weeks ago
for his health, hoping that a change Of
climate and scenery would improve him,
but be fulfilled the prediction of some Of
his best friends-that he would never live
to return. The First National is closed

The presence of General Stokes created
bat little enthusiasm among his adherents

present at the regular speaking. and they
kept very quiet. Saturday night q crowd
of negroes, numbering several hundred,
collected in some buzzard roost and
marched up to the Overton Hotel to de-
mand speech. They had been misled
by their leaders, and during the day
failed to be at the regular place ap'

of them were lodging the Sheriff
or the police, and felt unwilling to
come out in day time. When they called
for the man who wants to be Governor,
he promptly appeared, and rscited to the
gaping multitude portion of the de-
clamation which he delivers on other oc-
casions. The crowd soop got tired, and
began to drop off in squads, so that when
he was done not one hundred remained

Negro Killed by Negro Mackerels.
This morning some negroes were en-
gagged on the levee in playing at the

How he Feels -Something About the
Engaged Bachelor.

Lukdkcu hhCAichON
! am sorry to say that the engaged
bachelor 10 by no means as much in love
as he used to be. He is attentive, but not
desperate. He can see Diana's charms ;
he can even firt little with Mrs. Winker,
who don't mind it bit if she is married.
His dress is smart, and one can see the
effect of feminine advice in its details
His hair is an inch shorter. His watch
chain displays no seals. He always but
tous bio gloves. He wears .he orthodox
hat. He goes to the thestar, as general
thing, ofan evening, and don't mind men
tioning that he is going to take Matilda.
He cuts his bachelor friends, and quite
forsakes cigars. He looks ssgaciously at
furniture, and investigates new refrigera-
tors. he is sometimes seen in church.
He is quite an improved young man, and
makes no more mistakes in the ledger
and day book. He ia anxious to impress
the fact Of his striet sobTiety on the fam
ily of his betrothed, and mentions that he
has no need Of lstch-key. He borrows
DIR. Teachem's sermons of the grand
mamma, and counsela papa about life
insurance. he gives excellent promise.
Promises are not always kept you
know, and young bachelors, who see him
and hear him, shake their heads and say,
"Ah, dear, what fellow he was once !"
His presents to Matilda are of the useful
order, such as umbrellas, oyer hoes, and
cookery bookS He hopes that she does
not find pleasure in the society of her
boarding school friends, and takes her
out to see new patent wringer, NV
aud then he puts his arms about her
waist "before folk" And the very
spple-N oman on the corner knows, as he
passes her, that "tha. there young man
is engaged TO the young lady at No. T."
He is very well eontented with himself;
but the past seems little foolish, and the
future little doubtful, and he is growing
anxious to mould Matilda after the
pattern Of hls own mamma, from whom
she diners in every particular.

Everything that astronomers can't un-
derstand is ascribed to the influence of
the moon. When we have two moons, as
an astute German predicts will soon be
the case, it is to be hoped that the action
of one may be counterscted by the other,
and the star gazers will then have peace.
An exchange says: A very extrsor-
binary fact is that observed by Mr.. Stene,
Of the Greenwich Observatory, who tells
us that there is strong ground for believ-
ing that the moon has sufficient infu-
ence on the earth to cause change in
the latitude of Greenwich. He attributes
this strange result to one of two causes.
The fret is the yielding of the earths
crust under the moons action, thus pro-
ducing veritable distortion Of the globe.
The second is the effect of the moon upon
the atmosphere, whereby the heavenly
bodies are more or less elevated Tin APP

latitude is caused to change in appear

TIE CONTESTED ELECTION.
The Interested Parties ON the Ground
nj Germantown Early this
arsW Morning.. al

The six o clock freight train which went
out on the Memphis and Charleston rail-
road, carried Judge Hunter and hume
rous lawyers, TO participate in the con-
tested election case between Judge Hun
ter and Chancellor Smith, the presen,
incumbent. Chancellor Harris was
expected to come down from Somerville
on the "Bumpass train" and preside al
the trial. The case will be one of rare
interest in its line. Judge Hunter sets
out in the FIRST place, as we under
stand it, to prove that frauds we're
committed in the late Judicial election.
This will be an easy task one which a
man with less shrewdness and energy
than Judge Hunter could easily perform.
The truth is, it would be impossible to
make any one in this county acquainted
with the facts believe that there we're NOT
frauds committed.
In the second place, it will be neces-
sary for Hunter to prove that enough Of
those fraudulent votes were cast for
Smith to change the result of the elec'
ton; in other words, that Smith re-
ceived more than his share of the fraudu.
lent votes. If Hunter proves these two
points to the satisfaction of the court,
then are his chances bright 1t is
said that Hunter has bushels of evidence
in fact, great deal more than he will let
come to light. There lies the trouble in
his case. He has too much evidence,
and if it were all introduced, the seat
might yet fall to Judge Caruthers. 1t is
presumed that several days will be occu-
pied by the trial, and that some rich de-
velopments will be made. Able counsel
has been employed on both sides.

inquiry, it was found that the speech in
question was made at the Old Bailey. It
consisted of "Not guilty, my lord, " and
