the publication OF interesting series Of articles,
being the ADVENTURES, PERILs, and ESCAPES of
@. s. BELL, the great Union Scout of the North
Mississippi. Mr.. Bell was known, during the war,
to large number of prominent generals, for Il
valuable and extraordinary services which he per-
formed aad he has letters fthe highest commenda-
ton from many Of them. As q scout he entered
many Southern camps, and was taken into the very
counses of many OF theconfederae leaders obtaining
valuable information for generals, while he had
concealed in OF the metallic buttons of his confed
crate uniform a small piece of paper, which, habit
been discovered, would have caused him to be in
stantly put to death. The following is the wording
of the piece of paper referred to, in the well known
handwriting of General Grant: 80. s. BELL IS A
UNION SCOUT. u. s. GRANT, 1T. GEN"

when car overlook him showing his

the Irishman who drove the car. As the

this laudible purpose showed up his 60
cart briskly, square or so, and overlook
the car opposite Odd Fellows Hall, and

We learn that our statement concern
ing Maloney, who killed an old negro
man day before yesterday, was to some
extent incorrect. 1t is stated now on
good authority that the old negro had
been working for Maloney, and in bis
absence had abused Mrs MaIoney in
outrageous language. Hence Maloney
sought Lin QUITO take satisfaction.
We invite particular attention to the
card of A. Woodward, Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Shelby county, which appears in another
place. 1t has the ring Of business. All
surplus baggage must be sent to the rear,
our forces inspected, the sick and weak
kneed sent to the nearest hospital, and
the campaign opened vigorously. We
have no candidate Tor Governor yet, but
we will have one, and our political oppo-
nents need not delude themselves with the
idea that we are asleep or idle. 7

Grandmother Hunter.

Judge Hunter is still on the war path.
He went out to Somervile, starting on
the six o'clock train last evening, and it
is understood that all his peregrinations
by day and by night have reference to a
contest of the late election. He seems
to think that he ought to be Chancellor,
or something Of that sort; but if he fails,
be can fall back on his practice as q
blowist in some tin-horn band, and blow
himself into . phenomenon of respecta-
bility. If a situation of this sort cannot
be found a: once, he might be able to
form law partnership with Jimmy Per-
simmons Gallagher. Misery loves COM
pany, aud defeated aspirants for good
salaries and judicial fame cannot be an
exception to the rule. Bot Hunter may
be Chancellor, by some strange chance |;
80 we will call him Judge awhile longer,
and discard that ignominious title,
" Grandmother"
The trip to somervills, of course, Is to
see Judge Harris, to whom Hunters
petition for mandamus Is addressed.
Judge Harris being the nearest Chan
cellor, the case goes before him, accord
ing to custom, if not law. The case will
have to be heard in this county, but at
any place Judge Harris may designate.
He has expressed a preference, we under
stand, for Germantown as the place for
hearing Hunters mandamus case.

YE GENTLE zouAvas.
A serenadfBg Party stopped Last
Night by Company Of Armed

4 {. u IT,
II is considered by soma sensitive souls
10 be very blood-thirsty 10 us to denounce
the organizations of armed negro conn
panies 10 this city AID the daily out
RACES committed by the same class in the
suburbs. Our position, nevertheless, is
correct, and our convictions strengthened
by daily occurrences. Last night
daring act was perpetrsted out on Ala
bama street. The colsred zousves-
those gentle lads, some of who m
we're, no doubt, old enough to be
in the late war, who now have time
and means to make such handsome
appearance in the streets, may or may
not have had hand in the affair. though
their good drill in Zousve tactics would
sminently qualify them for this profit
able branch of service.
A party of eight young men, some of
whom are connected with the LEDGER
Office, went out ssrenading last night.
They were in wagon and were well
equipped for fatigue and exposure to
damp night air. About twelve o'clock
at night they were halted at the bridge
at the corner of Alabama street and the
Raleigh road by about ten negroes, all
armed, some had carbines, some had
pistols, and others only clubs They were
evidently surprised at finding so many in
wagon, and saw Indications which made
them feel more peaceable than if they had
found only one or two persons. Their
object was undoubtedly robbery, and the
number of the serenaders was what saved
them. This is the way loyal negroes live
and make living in Memphis when not
supported by politics, and yet it is very
uukind to say anything against them.

Central Park.

This fine piece of property was donated
to the city two or three years ago by some
liberal, enterprising gentlemen, on con-
dition that the city would make certain
improvements. The city accepted the
gift, and number Of us won't out there
one frosty new years morning to witness
the dedication and drink some wine.
This was all very nice, especially the
wine, and so forth, that cold morning.
The city took formal possession, though
we are not certain that deed was ever
duly reoorded--that would have looked
too much like business. We learn now
that Mr.. Deadrick, one of the gentlemen
who gave the land, has concluded that
Central Park will never be o park, and
that he had better take 1t back. Just so.
he is not to blame, but the city, after
spending thousands Of dollars to improve
the place, will of course come out at the
small end of the horn.
