It is we'll that we all should look to our
records before charging inconsistency
upon onr neishb5rs. The Appeal editor
in bis peculiar old fOgy, slow way, Is IN
the political circus ring this morning
endeavorng to show us his agility IN
turning heels over head, which he has
managed to do after one or two extraor-
ordinary efforts, and since which he
doubtless feels bully. This chief-oi-
staff at one time occupied the editorial
chair of the PUBLIC LEDGER, and was
known up to the time of leaving to be q
warm supporter of imperialism, but since
going over on the Appeal views have
undergone a radical change very sud
denly. Editors, however, are sometimes
Bohemians in the true sense Of the word,
and can easily accommodate their views
to their bread and butter, and for that
reason we should not be surprised at their
writing on oil sides of all questions
wherever required.
Mind how you throw stones, neigheor;
you have lights yourself that stand in
danger of being shattered.

NEW YORK

New YoRK, August 9.-The Herald
says that Secretary Fish gives it as bis
reason for the seizure of the Spanish
gunboats, which are being built in this
city, that they were intended to relieve
the Spanish feet now doing coast duty
around Cuba, and permit the feet to be
used to inaugurate The Peruvian war. He
says he does not intend 10 permit the
Runb0ais to leave cur waters, but If they
do leave without bis permission he will
send after them, which will sstonish the
Dons and compel his authority to be
respected.
A story is current in Washington that

The killing Of Mcvsy.

The Iuka Gazette of the 4th thinks we
have been imposed upon. Perhaps we
have. Here is the GaSettes correction
McVsy was killed on Thursday last,
not at Brownsville nor Burnsville, but at
Peele's Mill, three or four miles below
this place, on the Memphis and Charles
ton railroad, and so far from being 6
" VIGOROUSLY bad man" was a quiet, in
dustrious citizen, had no connection
whatever with Jack Davenport, nor had
he ever been suspicioned or accused
of being; on the other hand he was
a brave Confederate soldier, served gal
lantly under Msjor l. N. George, and
was noted for his daring and untiring
conduct as soldier during the war.
Mr. Vow, who killed McVay, is q very
quiet, peaceable and industrious man,
who has never been charged with any
bad behavior in this neighborhood, but
the man who was with him, and who
doubtless ins,igated him to the act, Polk
Robson, is a VIGOROUSLY bad character,
and has been O terror to the country for
years. These are the facts in the case,
and we hope the LEDGER will publish
this article, as we are certain it has been
imposed upon.

HOW THE NEGROES ARE
SwINDLED.
A Bogus Tax Collector at Large
Fifty Cents Per Capita.

We have heard several times lately of
tax collector among the country
darkies, who is undoubtedly making a
good thing out of African stupidity. This
villain presumes very safely upon the
loyalty of his dupes, and represents him
self as Government tax collector. A
few days ago he canvassei the neighbor-
hood near Ridgewsy, giving his name as
Fisher, and collecting fifty cents per
head from the whole population He
also taxed them twenty-five cents on
each head of stock they owned. \ many
instances he read his authority from GER
tain documents, which he displayed with
all the solemnity of the due form of law,
and at seme cabins be pretended to give
receipts, which the negroes still bold. 1t
is supposed that 10 one neighborhood
the villain collected over one hundred
dollars. These facts illustrate the rapid
progress the southern African has made
IN the ways of civilization since his
transfer to the hands of loyal masters.
We thought before that the negroes had
learned in the last four years that they
we're not subject to poll tax in Tennessee.
As for other taxes, very few of them in
this State own enough property to invite
the visit of an assessor.
