STOKES IEIA NEW ROLE.
Rivs Enorts to ,.shsvs. q Counter.
felt Bhinplaster.

A great many hard stories have been
told of William Stokes, the candidate to
be q Governor. Some of them we doubted
from their improbability, but we knew
nothing Of the man. Everything that has
been told on him, and every mean, con.
temptible trick he aver played, falls short
of scurvy attempt he made Monday
morning to shove counterfeit ffty-cent
shinplsster. Very early in the morning
he approached the newsstand, called for
some papers, and threw down q handbook
ing piece of fractional currency, calling
on its face for fifty cents. The young man
saw at glance that it was badly exc
cuted counterfeit, add told the "Bald
Eagle" so. Mr.. Stokes grumbled;
Thought twas good" be said. and re-
luctantly produced some genuine cur
rency.
Next be called in requisition the SER
vices of a boot-black, and after that func-
tionary had polished his brogans until
the old eagle could almost see his beak
in them, he rendered fifty cent coun-
terfeit fractional currency. The boot
black declined to take it. He knows a
thing or two, and knew counterfeit money
as well as he knows rotten egg from a
sound one. He felt under the Disagree
able necessity of requesting Sweet Will
liam to shell over the pure currency to
the extent Of ten cents, which the
hero of KALI Killer did with scowl and
an air of disappointment.
In few minutes the illustrious Cen
eral concluded that he would drown
few of bis sorrows in the flowing tumbler,
with ice to match. He entered the bar
room, called for something straight, which
he drank with an affectienate kind of
gurgle. Then he threw down fifty cents
counterfeit fractional currency, which
the bar.keeper promptly told him would
not pass. he said, {" won't it ~ and
took it up as if he had just discovered
that il was base counterfeit. t
Fourthly. A bill-boy, who performed
some necessary service, was offered a
shinplaster of the same kind, but he de-
clned to take it. g 81 44
Fifth and last. The hero of hundred
hard runs tried to pass counterfeit fifty
cent shinplastsr on young Slaughter, Of
the omnibus line, but he was entirely too
sharp to be taken in that way, and Gem
eral Stokes had to fork over sound change
for his fare.
Whether General Stokes had Eve diff
ferent counterfeits or was trying all the
time to pass the same counterfeit piece,
we do not pretend to know, but we know
that the foregoing is correct statement,
and can be substantiated if necessary.
We advise all who had any dealings with
him to look over their small change for
counterfeits. 1t will be remembered that
Stokes gave Senter five dollar bill on
one occasion during the canvass to
answer some question. Governor Senter
had better look and see whether it is
counterfeit fit is not, Stokes is trying
to make up his loss by showing bogus
currency.

The old rotten log which formed the
only pathway across the bayou on Henry
avenue, in the Tenth Ward, gave way
last night, and compelled persons living
in the neighborhood east of the bayou to
either wade through that muddy stream
or walk circuit Of half mile, this
morning, iu order to get into the business
portion of the city. That part of Henry
avenue between Dunlap street and the
corporation line is disgrace to the City
Council and the Street Commissioned,
and we are not the least surprised at the
people in that vicinity grumbling about
paying taxes and the extension of the
city limits. If there is such thing as
an Alderman of the Tenth Ward, will he
use his influence to have new log or
some sort of bridge placed over the bayou
on Henry avenue7

PROBABLE MURDER OF COLLIER.
Negroes at Large Robbing, InssIt-
ing and Terrifying the People.

!.
Mr.. Thomas L. Collier, the father Of
Clarence Collier who killed Captain
Haynes, is credibly informed that his
sons horse is in the hands Of the negroes
who are playing militia in sCrittendeu
county, Arkansas The probability is
that Collier was captured and killed by
them, as Major Harvey. Mr.. McAlister,
Wallace, Organ and others we're muir
dered in cold blood after being taken
prisoners. Nothing has been beard of
Collier since his escape to the swamps
except the mute message borne by bis
captured horse. The negroes are run
ming ever the country as though COM
manded by Haynes, or Maine, or Upham
during the bloody reign of terror.
Haynes had frequently threatened the
life of Collier, as is known by almost
everybody in Marion. Hence the party
have no desire to bring Collier before
any court. It would answer their pur.
pose much better to make Haynes
another martyr and let Collier escape, or
have him killed in the woods
Day before yesterday about twenty ne
groes went to the house of Major Strong,
who lives on the Dickson plantation,
back Of Bradley's landing, about twenty
miles above the city, and robbed his house
of every article they fancied or could
carry off, including considerable sum of
money. Such outrsges are Of frequent
occurrence, and yet to complain about it
would be to draw the charge of disloyalty,
rebel and traitor. The negroes are run
ming at large over the county, helping
themselves to anything they want, and
insulting old men, women and children.
Yet to kill one of these fends for insult
ing wife or sister would be to gil all the
Radical papers with loyal yell of hor-
ror for weeks and weeks to come, es-
pecially those supported by public print
ing and incompetent to live by the regu-
lar course of journalism We have some
such in Tennessee, but after the election
they will no doubt 60 to Arkansas, or
some other such State, where loyalty
monopolizes the public printing.

C0nined A1fve-Thrilling Escape from
a Premature Grave.
From the Nashville Banner. 18th.

From the Nashville Banner. 18th.
In the Banner of Friday morning the
following particulars were published re-
garding the sun stroke and death of ne
gro named Charles johnson, at work on
Q Mr.. McEwin's dwelling, South Nash
vile:
Yesterday morning, about IL O clock,
negro named Charles johnson, who
was carrying mortar upon new house
being built in South Nashville, was at
tackled with sun stroke, and died very
suddenly. He had just come down from
the building and started toward the NOR
tar bed. This he reached, and was just
reaching down to pick up the hoe, when
be fell heavily, and expired in three or
four minutes. Coroner Norvell was sum-
moned and held an inquest, which re-
suited in verdict of death from sun
stroke. Deceased was married man,
and leaves family"
After the inquest had been held and
the verdict of the jury rendered in accor-
dance with the examination of two we'll
known physicians, Coroner Norvell ina
mediately thereafter ordered r. Fl.
Groomes, undertaken for the county, to
carry pauper coffin to Johnson's abode,
in which to inter his remains.
The coffin was promptly forwarded, ar
irving at Johnson's dwelling at half-past
three o'clock Thursday afternoon. John
son was placed in it, and the lid was
about to hide his form forever, when his
family discovering that his body was
still warm, preferred to keep it until
the following friday morning.
Mr.. Groomes readily acquIesced
to their desire and promised to return
with hearse on the following morn
ing and convey his remains to their
last resting place. Late that afternoon
Johnson showed signs of life by moving
uneasily in his narrow and confined
couch He was shortly after taken out Of
the coffin, placed upon bed, and such
restoratives administered as brought him
safely back to life. johnson is now able
to walk about, living man. The coffin
in which be was put still remains in his
abode. Since Johnson's recovery he has
been congratulated by all his friends,
both white and black, who had heard of
the circumstance.
