A Washington despatch states thst Jay
Gould and James Fisk, tho lovely brace Of
Etie managers, have "notifed the Postmas-
ter Gencrh that. unless the department in
creases the pay for the Eie Railroad SER
Nce from $780, to $3.50, 900, tins; will
refuse to carry the mails. The Postmaster
Generol notified Fisl and Gould that this
demand cannot be acceded to. The pay
how received by tho company is the same
per mile per annum AZ that received by
other roads" II Fisk and Gould refuse to
curry the mails for the pay they have l,een
getting, let the service Oh that road be dis
continued. There are no points Of much
importance IN the Erie Road anywhere be-
tween Jersey City and DnnEtk, and the
larger toNns on the road can be supplied by
other railroads which c1oss the Eric track,
and by horsepower It would be very
agreeable to the Ezie managers to got
$l5o, 600 year extra out of the govern
nlent for performing NO additional service.
The money could be used to great advan.
tage in "orerating" in Wall street.

Two Outlaws Shot and Killed I'm
Hickman County.

Three men, named Stevenson, Dexter
and Hstchel, imprisoned in the Maury
county Jail ut Columbia, recently broke
jail and escaped. Two of them, Steven
son and Hatchel, went to the neighbor-
hood of Stevenson's home in Hickman
county and hid themselves in the woods.
Watching his chance, Stevenson crept
out and went to boy who was plough
ing in field and by threats made him
undertake to go to Stevenson's house and
get gun from his wife that he might kill
some men that night. The boy fright
ened, went to the residences of Mr.. Cole
man, a neighbor, and related to him
what had occurred. Mr.. Coleman immedi-
ately resolved what to do. He put on q
woman's dress, and went to the spot
where the two outlaws were concealed.
Stevenson, supposing it was his wife,
came forward to meet her. Whereupon
Mr.. Coleman fred and killed Stevenson
dead in his tracks. Hatchel started to
run, but Mr.. G. shot him also. He was
not killed outright, but ran some distance
before he was again shot and killed.
Mr.. John Batto, of the same neighbor-
hood, while blowing in the field was shot
and probably fatally wounded by some
person in ambush the day after, and it is
supposed enc of the same party of
outlaws, who have infested Hickman
county for some time, fred the shot.

Another Tragedy at Decatur, Ala.

From the Union and American, 6th.l V
From Mr.. C. S. Evans, messenger Of
the Adams Express Company on the
Nashville and Decatur railroad, we hear
of another shooting scrape at Decatur,
Alabama, which took place yesterday
morning little after II o'clock. A man
named George Sinclair had just stepped
into barber shop for the purpose of get
ting shaved. He had a belt strapped
around his person, and a large navy re-
volyer in q scsbbard. The pistol was ap-
parently cumbersome, as be took il out Of
the scabba-d and laid il across his lap.
About this time man named John Stew
art entered the shop with double-bsr-
relied shotgun on his shoulder, and ad.
dressing Sinclair, asked him why be had
abused bis father. Sinclair immedi-
ately grabbed his pistol, and attempted
to shoot, when Stewart ley.lled his
gun and fred, shooting his antagonists
arm eff. Sinclair then started 10 run,
when Stewart fired agais, the discharge
taking effect in the back, when Sinclair
fell MORALLY wounded. As the train
passed that point at twelve o'clock, Sim
clair was in a very critical condition, aud
not expected to live over half an hour.
The affair created considerable excite
ment. f-- o'
Latsr-Ths Banner of the Eth says:
A special dispatch from Decatur in
forms us that Sinclair, the man shot at
that place Monday by John Stewart, as
reported in yesterdays Banner, died yes
terday at noon of the wounds received
Garner, who was shot by Wells Satqr-
day last, is still in very critical condi-
ton. .IlllNl

Mr.. Peak, who was recently in Memphis
with the Swiss Bell Ringers:
In com pleting his thirtieth annual tour,
the undersigned, in behalf of the Peak

leave to return bis thanks to the public
generally, and particularly to the people

very kind and flattering reception and
liberal patronage which they have every.
where accorded to him during the past
season. AS there is much misapprehen-
sion existing in the minds of Northern
people regarding the true state of affairs
at the South. and much doubt as to the
reception Northern people would meet
with should they visit that section, / can
honestly state, as the result of my obser-
vations during our extended tour of over
six months through the States of Tennes-

They have suffered great deal during
the few past years and have by no means
fully recovered from the effects Of the

and to all well-meaning people they will
extend the right hand Of fellowship, ire
