MEMPHIS, January Is, 1869.
Editors Memphis Appeal
A correspondent in this mornings
Avalanche in commenting upon my sc
ton in levying upon and advertising for
sale the stock owned by the city OF
Memphis in the Little Rock and in the
Mississippi and Tennessee Railroads,
asks Why did not Mr.. Tomeny try
to make the ST. 600 out Of some of the
real estate owned by the city?n And
he further intimates hat the levy was
excessive and unlawful.
Although Ihave uniformly declined TO
discuss my official acts with any one
through tho columns of the public press,
I feel constrained in this instance, the
public interest being involved, to answer
these inquiries. The levy upon these
stocks was made last November, during
my absence from home, by n Of my
Deputies, after making diligent efforts to
collect the money. The law requires
that the personality of a defendant in ex-
ecuiion shall be exhausted before q levy
can be- made upon real estate.
This is the simple reason Why the levy
was made upon the stocks and not upon
the engine house.
| was not and am not now aware that
these stocks have an s~scertainable mar
ket value, and it was my duty to levy
upon enough to pay the debt.
-Butif Enquirer" willr the advertise
ment, he will find that l propose to sell
the whole of these stocks, "or so much
thereof as may be necessary to satisfy the
execution, interest and costs"
The superstition that a railroad ring"
is in any way concerned OK interested in
the proceeding, is the veriest bOsh.
Respectfully, J. NJ.

friends OF The Board. A poor man,
a laboriDg man, might labor and wait
but let one Of ihese pats come ard tell the
officials that they are the white-aeaded
bully boys and the warrants would come,
aud the cash too. He had seen this thing
too nuch-dnd he had very tdtety seen
citV warrants hdUked about for safe tCith
no name signed to them.
Alderman Gallagher thought If any
gentleman in the Board knew any
misconduct on the part Of the Mayor
or other official he should speak it out.
He (Gsllagherl would do &c.
Fne chair announced that Mayor Left
Rich. who had been equirming like q
worm on o hook during Moffat's talk,
wished to address the Board.
His Honor began by saying his con-
duct Wss open to scrutiny, and he wants
to be scrutiniz9d. His mother taught
him that q rogue ought to be W0tched-
honest men want TO be. Tine gentleman
who is 8 csptious about the 5000, is
angry becsuse he (LeftYicb) cOuldn't be
buIlied. The day that the appropriation
was made, the gentleman came into his
private office aud told him that unless
ne vetoed hat measure, he (Motfat)
would get Hfeer him. HeEOught 20 have
known that ne Deftwieh) was not to be
deferred by threats. The Board would
excuse him for saying it, tut, IN his
opinion, the man who is so suspicious,
and can tGus impugn the motives Of
others, and accuse them Of fayOTit-
ism, etc, must have a foul breast. He
thanked the Board fur the resolution APP
pointing & committee of investigation.
Alderman Moffat retorted the talk
about being suspicious, and foulness OF
heart. He hurled 1t back in LsftWich's
teeth. All talk about his character, and
insinuations sgSinst his honesty rolls of
him Ike water OF q ducks back. He is
too we'll known Ia this community to be
affected by it. As 10 being " Suspicious
he suspected nothing; he kHe1O all he
stated, AMI he he'd seen the 1O0rTdnts that
he spoke Of, bGa0ked about aCithou5 the
AdVOr'S signature The Com ptroller
draws warrants and the Mayor signs
them at his will and pleasure. AS to
men icing paid before they had earned
their money, he could produce two cen
aus takers who were paid before Christ
mas. Alderman Moffat finally wound
ap By saying that his (Leftwieh's) ugly
breast was so black hat he imsgines
everybody as black as he; but il he in
s~inuates a particle of dishonesty on his
(MOtIape) part, he will conclude by re-
ply ing ia TIE shortest phrase possible,
and tsli him HE LIES
When these words we're uttered there
was tremendous excitement, and twice
while MOffat spoke, ONE one in the
crowd OF citizens assembled s~pplsuded
MIN. The chair called them to order and
forbade any further personalities.
Alderman Williams deprecated for ff-
minutes the keeping people in the
Board listening to vague personalities,
and at the close Of his remarks the ques-
ZION to print was put and carried, and
the Board adjourned.
