"EouND DEAD
The Body Of a Federal SsIcier Found IN
Wolf River.
Fearful MYSTERY.

Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock,
a negro man found near the mouth of
Wolf river the remains of a human body.
1t was, however, so disfgured by fish,
dogs, or hogs, that it was impossible TO
identify il. The pants and shoes showed
the body to have been that Of a Federal
soldier.
inns discovery, coupled with the nu-
merous recent mysterious disappearance
Of prominent citizens, is very suggestive,
and is a hint to our police, showing them
that, while the town may seem TO bequiet,
there is IA fearful undercurrent of
Crime that must be discovered and check
ed. Within six weeks, no less tina three
well-known citizens have disappeared,
and have not yet been heard from. The
Byrd case isstll fresh in the minds Of our
readers. In our advertising columns Is a
notice requesting information OF Mr..
Penn, and there is still a
case involving a darker tragedy,
which we are not now at liberty
10 speak OF, but which will some 10 light
in a few DAYS. Too much care cannot ne
taken by our people at present. A word
10 the wise is sufficient.

FACT VS.. GAS.
The Gayoso Gas Company and the Present
Monopoly.

It will be remembered that in 1867,
shortly before the injunction was granted
against the Memphis GayOSO Gas Com
pany, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
voted the amount of SlO0, 600 10 the stock
of the Company. This was vetoed by the
Mayor-Loh2nd. The amount, in his
~Opinion was insufficient, and recon-
mended in his message that the amount
be increased to $50. coo, with the view of
giving the city an equal number Of direc-
tors with the other citizen stockholders.
His reasons for recommending the larger
amount WIS TO place the new Company
largely under the control OF the peoples
representatives. Knowing that this
stock could not be bought up by specuia-
tors, il is proper the city should have
this controlling power. They then in a
great measure could determine the price
Of gas, and always check any efforts
towards eXOrbitant prices, effecting a
large saving TO the CITY and citizens. An
ordinance WAS passed in accordance with
the views of the Mayor. When the Board
was abOu Ito pass the ordinance on lis
final readI 2 and submitting the same to
the votes of the PEOPLE for ratification or
rejection. the old Company stopped them
bN Injunction. Now, that the Injunction
has been dissolved. the Board OF Mayor
and Aldermen are free 10 take up the
matter where stopped. There is no legal
barrier to their doing so. The old Com
uauv bave been defeated in the State
Court before Chancellor Smith, who in
bis fqt saws: 81 decline ordering an in
junction. as ! DO not sec any exclusive
privilege has been granted" Complain
ants. driven. from the State Courts, they
seek relief in the United States Court
getting an injunction from the District
Court. This has been recently set aside
by The Supreme Court Of The United
States. This arrogant monopoly again
threaten more lgC. With their boosted
wealth and power, they fear to enter into
a far competition with their young rio l..
They are not at sea, like the drowning
man. ready to grasp at anything. Their
Object Is to deter stockholders from sub
