ple of the North for the common neces-
sites of life. Fields remained unculti-
waited. the former bondmen grew insolent
and turbulent, emissaries from the North
fomented local difficulties, encouraged
Incidence, and by despicable misrcpre-
sensations endeavored to teach the blacks
that they we're the superlors OF the
whites, thus creating chaos in society
that rendered person and property alike
insecure, and blasted for time the
fruits of a century of civilization. The
South was then languishing and perish
ing. the only excitement was the fever
of dissolution, and the only medicine
the panacea of the grave. But in few
short years what a change! The South
thus far this year, even up to the mid
summer solstice, has shown no signs of
unusual sickness, the seeds of no cpl
demic have appeared, its general health
is unexampled, its fever of excitement
is only the fever arising from an unpar-
allied steamboat race, in which the
famous spot on the Mississippi known as
+" Natchez-under-the-hill, might quizzi-
cally be changed to the Natchezunder-
the-Lee;" crops of cotton and corn are
superintendent; instead of planters be-
ing obliged to beg negroes to work, q
strong force of muscular Aslatics are of
fering their services for labor on the
plantations on terms agreeable to all
parties; political ascerbities are pass
ing away, the Southerners are
paying their old debts and laying
up a good store for rainy day,
their credit is getting better and bet
ter all over the world. Southern So
cieties are beginning to visit the North
in bodies upon social and fraternal ex-
cursions, every Southern State has been
reconstructed, all are again in the blessed
embrace of the good old Union, with
not a star erased" counting Georgia,
which has been reconstructed over and
over again, or as regularly as the pump
kin pie season comes Down East
short, the health of the South, alike
physically, socially, morally, politically
and pecuniarily,is uncommonly " good,
and we are happy to add that instead of
her political or regular doctors admins
tering to her nauseous doses in the shape
of calomel and jalap, aloes and antimo-
ny, quinine and commissary whisky,
they treat their patients to some newly
found remedial agents, which, as we
notice by the Memphis papers, have just
been introduced into Southern materia
medica-namely, pineapple punches and
strawberry mint juleps, upon the appli-
cation of which patients recover inAne-
diately.
If Bennett will come down and see us,
we will give him better Scotch toddy
than he can find in Gotham.

SUMNER Excursions. The Memphis
(Tenn.) PUBLIC LEDGER publishes the
following pronunciamento TO the people
ofthe South: Many persons among us
are preparing to take summer excursions
to springs and to cool places on the mar
gin of the rolling sea, In the good old
times of plenty of money and extensive
cotton fields, the people of the South
were wont to spend the summer season
principally at the North; but now that
their pockets are somewhat bare OF cash.
we hope they will confne their excur-
sions to the many mineral springs and
shady places in this land of beauty.
Travelling expenses alone are no small
items to take into consideration; and we
think it is better that our people should
spend their money among our own instr
tutions than to cram it down the pockets
of strangers who give in return nothing
but abuse. Let us pstronize the springs
and sea-shores of the South this season.
Now, we will venture TO wager silver
brick against large cotton bale that the
gallant gentleman who wrote the above
brief item has never visited Colorado,
the Switzerland of America" and
Toasted his vision with a sight OF the
Rocky Mountains. II is our deliberate
opinion that the local editor of the led
GER--which, by-the-by, is very readable
newspaper-has no generous weakness
for trout fishing, romping on snow-banks
in the months of July and August climb
ing grand old mountains, and gazing. on
oceans of bewildering, massive grandeur.
Hereafter, should the local editor of the
LEDGER, in his genial, pleasant way, adj
wise the citizens of the South TO stay at
home during the summer months, and by
his persuasive eloquence induce excur-
sionists to forego the great pleasure Of
visiting Colorado, we shall, IN order to
vindicate the inalienable rights Of noun
taineers, challenge the aforesaid knight
of the quill to a personal combat The
terms of the duello to be as follows; the
ground selected for the meeting, the sun
NIT of Gray Peak; weapons, champagne
bottles charged with the very best vintage
of La Belle France. Frank A. Pope,
Esq, TO act as referee for both parties
Colorado Times.
Very well. We shall meet our friend
Of the Times in September next on the
top of Gray's Peak. The weapons suit
us exactly; we have tried them sever
ial times, and may say we are pretty
well acquainted with their use. But we
object to a Pope as referee, as the name
suggests prayers, and we are rather in
clined to be jolly.

mouth. This was found to be the fact,

HEALTH AND JOLLIrY.-While some Of
our contemporaries have been frightening
the people Of the North with sensation
accounts Of Ku-Kluxes and similar bosh,
we have endeavored to impress on them
that we are hospitable and jolly, that
Memphis is the healthiest place. both in
summer and winter in the United States
The New York Herald gives as the fol-
lowing lift"
The South is truly o wonderful part OF
q wonderful country. No other region
could have SO rapidly recuperated after
devastating war, and after a species of
political persecution that would have
squeezed the lile-bloOd out Of loss elias

in the North we're in the habit Of regard

THE CUBA MURDER.
Public Meeting OF Condemnation
Three Arrests Made-Two Persons

Three Arrests Made-TWo PERSONS
Flee.
At meeting of the citizens of the
Fourth Civil District, and others of Shell
by county, held at Cuba on. Saturday
the 10th inst, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the best means OF
preserving the peace and quiet of the
district, and preventing crime Captain
J. J. McMurray was called to the char,
and George Locke appointed secretary.
The meeting being called to'order, the
following preamble and resolutions were
offered for adoption, by DR.. E. lrby, K.
NJ. Vaughan, and "A. ]. Ward IA com
mittee appointed therefore, viz;
Whereas, On Thursday morning the
neighborhood was thrown into confusion
on discovery of the murder of John W.
Schofield, a fatherless boy, OF some
eighteen summers-who, itappears, was
formerly a citizen Of the vicinity OF
Davidson College, North Carolina, and
whose mother still resides thereby par
ties as vet unknown. The said Schofeld
having been accused, the day previous,
of stealing some two or three dollars
from the store of Mr.. J. F. Graves, was
placed in the hands of I. Fl. McAdam,
Constable of the District, and by him
confined in an ice-house with the door
locked during the night, with his hands
tied; then taken out about daybreak, by
several men, carried few hundred
yards, while pleading for mercy at the
TOP of his voice, startling and awaken
ing many of the neighbors. Therefore,
be it resolved:
|. That we regard this as horrid case
of cold-blooded murder, deserving the
severest penalty of the law.
2. That we bind ourselves mutually
under a pledge of sacred honor, to use
our most earnest efforts TO sift this mat
ter to the utmost, and, if possible, bring
the criminals to justice.
8. That we are opposed to mob law
under all its various forms and colors,
and that it is the duty of every good citi-
zen to labor to give supremacy to the
civil law.
4. That C. Hedspeth, II, P. Thomp-
son, Esq, and I. W. Hines, be appointed
committee to further inquire into, and
receive and report at the proper time
any evidence that may tend to bear on
this subject, without exposing persons
or feelings unnecessarily, and that they
prosecute any case that may rise in rela-
ton 10 this affair.
5. That we request the Memphis
LEDGER and other city papers to give
publicity to the foregoing resolutions.
After few brief, pertinent and forcible
remarks by DR.. E. Irby, I. Hester and
others, the following named persons
came forward and signed their names
las a PLEDGE to these resolutions, and
by a unanimous vote the preamble and
resolutions were adopted entire, and the
meeting adjourned.

AT the adjournment of the meeting,
Sheriff Wright proceeded to arrest three
persons who had taken part in the pro-
ceedingE, and whose names are appended
to the pledge Two others Of those sup
posed to have been engaged In the muir
der of the young man, fed the neighbor-
hood, one Of whom was an officer. S. A.
Poston, J. H. Weisner and J. Frank
Graves were arrested at the meeting.
Tom McAdam, the constable having the
young man in charge at the time he was
hanged, and George Geary, have not been
seen since. What seems strange to us
is that the men who were arrested by the
Sheriff should be SO bold as to attend the
meeting of citizens, aud go so far as to
approve Of the sentiments expressed by
several speakers. The good people Of
Cuba are determined to enforce the laws,
and show to the world that they are able
to protect the workman and the stranger
who may settle among them.
