Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-10-14

Mr.. GEORGE M. GILL, one Of the
most prominent Of the cotton mer-
chants of Memphis, died yesterday
~afternooh at 8 O'clock, 7of congestion
of the brain. All that human ingenu-
ity could suggest to relieve his pains
and prelong his stay upon earth was
tried, but to no purpose. Surrounded
by his family and friends he was
called away. Mr.. GILL for many years
occupied a position in the commercial
circle of our city second to no man in
it. His probity was never ques-
toned; his Judgment was generally
correct. He had the confidence of the
eommunityya and was singularly sue
cessful in affairs of trade. Devoted to
his pursuit, he was not known out of
the marts Of trade, but there
he . 0 known, and there he
was regarded with the highest favor.
He has been identified with the rise
and progress Of Memphis, was a prin-
cipal promoter and worker in many
of our best-paying enterprises; was
quick to conceive and grasp at what
ever he thought would be beneficial
to the community, and as quick to in
vest his capital, energy and labor.
We could i'll afford to lose him. We
need such men, now more than ever,
His loss is, therefore, great; not ire
parable, still a loss to be felt. It will
be long before his place is entirely
filed. We extend our condolences to
his family.

practieing their impositions on the
public. We are glad to say that the
majority Of hackmen in the city do
not defend the extortion, andwe hope
there r few among them who are
capable ofgoing to the same extreme.
Impositions ofthis kind should not be
submitted to, but invariably reported
to the police headquartersin a fern to
compel attention. Nothing less is
due to strangers visiting the city, who
must go away with no kindly feeling
towards US for being thus maltreated.
And the more impunity, the greater
the latitude which will be taken by
the evl-disposed. 5aiH-J INV l
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-10-14

WE have very often heard com
plains from citizens, and especially
from strangers, of overbearing exac.
tions by hackmen. We have a cor
poration law allowing them to take
double prices at night, but not salts
fed with this, and one or two prices,
the ample compensation for their SER
vices, they often violate the law by
charging two, three or five dollars.
And peaceable men and gentlemen
pay them rather than to bear the i'm
putation of meanness, or quarrel
about what might seem a small mat
ter. A case of this sort occurred
night before last at about halfpast
one O'Clock at the Peabody Ho-
tel. Mr.. HARRIS and anOth-
er young gentleman of the
city had engaged a hack to attend a
wedding party, and returned to the
hotel. The hackman had agreed to
take them for five dollars and return
at or after l O'Clock at night. He
charged them ten, and refused to take
five, which was rendered him. This
being refused, he declared that Mr..
HARRIS, who had offered to pay him,
should not leave the house until he
had paid ten. The young men were
unarmed. He became violently abu-
sive and threatening. HARRIS, ap-
pretending danger, small, weak and
in i'll health, fortunately for him, pro-
cured (all he could find in the house,
a small Smith and Wesson pistol,
carrying a ball little larger than a
buckshot, to protect himself in walk
ing home to his sleeping room. But
the hackman, who had continually
followed and abused him, pursued
him into the street and advanced to
beat, and it might be, to kill him.
Being a large and strong man, there
was no resource for young HARRIS
but to defend himself with his pistol,
which, being a skillful marksman, he
did with instant effect, shooting his
antagonist in the neck, and giving
him a wound by which he was
promptly disabled, and from which
he died in the vi of half
an hour. The hackman might
have been armed or unarmed;
in the darkness of the night it was
not possible to know. But he was
able to have beaten the young man to
death without q weapon, and, when
he suddenly advanced, it was impos-
sible to avoid the onset. We learn
these facts from the testimony given
before the examining magistrate.
The reputation of the haekman was
that of an overbearing and desperate
man, who has frequently been guilty
of extortions similar to that he at
tempted in this instance, and who has
been tried several times and fined for
extortiOn, by Commissioner Rich
ards. The COroner's inquest re-
turned a verdict of justifabIe
homicide, and the committing magis-
trate discharged the prisoner, as he
might well have done even on the
testimony of the witnesses for the
State. We must deplore the taking of
a human life, but we cannot deny
that the deceased met his fate by his
own fault. HARRIS did all he could
to avoid him, and escape to his room
without injury, and only struck the
fatal blow to save his own life, or Sc
riOus bodily injury. We hope this
will be a lesson to that class of hack
men who have been in the habit of
