RETURN BORROWED LAW BOOKS.

TO the Members Of the Bar-Each of
the undersigned nave books missing from
their library, which they are unable to
find. They have doubtless been borrowed
by some gentlemen, who, in the hurry of
business, has neglected TO return them so
long that he has forgotten that he has
them. We ourselves have been and NAV
now be guilty Of the same neglect. We
hold that it is the duty OF members of our
profession to lend their books to one an
other. But it is well sometimes to take a
fresh departure. We think that if every
member of the profession would on the
same day examine carefully his shelves
and return all borrowed books, tina every
n would be better satisfied to lend again.
We therefore request each lawyer in the
city 10 make such an examination, and to
return all borrowed books, on Monday
next, the I'D inst, and we pledge our
selves to do the same.

NEGRO KUKLUx ON THE RAMPAGE
A Conservative Negro Threatened with
K~ukluxing for Employing a White
Teacher.

Upton Co., Tenn, August IL, 1870.
Editors APpedt-You may talk about
Algerine pirates, J~oeobins, Ku-KIux, or
any of the representatives of Beelzebub,
but none of them, or ali of them COM
pounded, can make as vile a mess of pure
devilment as Radicalism, properly serv-
ed up.
This is premonitory, as you know, of
election times, and this community, a
densely colored population, with their
schools and some of them conducted by
white men. In order, no doubt, to man
ufacture materials for Congress to work
upon, the following occurred in this I'M
mediate vicinity, last night:
A colored man named Anderson Tay-
lor, highly respected for his good sense
and conduct, owned two plantations near
this, upon one of which be resides with a
large and well-behaved family. Last
night about IL O'Clock he was aroused by
some one at the gate. Anderson demand
ed who he was? Stranger insisted upon
his coming to the gate; Anderson re-
fused to comply unless he would tell his
name. Stranger replied he was a Ku-
klux; then, said Anderson, l will come
and see you. He then arranged his sew
eral sons, properly armed, gave them
strict orders not to attact or commit II
violence, unless h intruder first at
tackled him., and then use their discretion.
He went out, held his lamp in the stran-
gers face, and received from him the fol-
lowing communication: II have not
come to injure this time, but if you con-
tinuey your white teacher five days longer
you may take the consequences" Said he
had twenty-five men in blowing of his
whistle. He blew, but no one came, and
off he rode in the direction of Covington.
Anderson says he heard him cross the last
of three bridges, about half a mile off,
and the feet of but one horse could be
heard.
On going to Mr.. Patterson's this morn
ing, some half a mile from Anderson's, he
was informed that the reputed Ku-KIux
had been there and issued similar orders
to Mr.. Parrish, the white man teaching
at Anderson's. This affair naturally crea-
ted some alarm with Anderson and Far
rish, but Anderson, like a good citizen,
is to-day riding around and taking coun-
sci of old and prudent white citizens, who
advise him to go on with his school, and
give it as their opinion that Ku-Klux
will never return, but will go over this
Congressional district, where there are
any large colOred communities, do all the
and create all the excitement he
can, n then send the precious packages
to Washington, as evidences of overt
.disloyalty on the part of the Tennessee
white citizens. "Jerusalem, OH Jerusa-

AN l. CITIZEN.
IS Epa1NGroN ELIaIBLE2

Editors Appeal-The interests Of the
Northwest and the South are identical.
Both sections have for years upon years
suffered fearfully from the Unsuitable
greed of New England. Let them now
unite and throw of the yoke. Let us
send men to Congress who will have
the sympathies Of the Northwestern
members, and who can, by uniting with
them, inauguraIe a new policy which will
give equal rights to all sections. Major
L. B. E~dgington, the most popular candi-
date for Congressman whose name has
yet been announced, is by birth and edu-
cation a northwestern a Born in
Ohio, he entered the Federal service from
Iowa, and these facts taken in connection
with his honorable record as a soldier, will
secure him the sympathies of Northwest
ern members.
Radicalism has had no more persistent
foe and the South no irmer friend han
Mr.. Edginytou. His ability is too well
known to need further discussion. No
man in this community has a greater or
better deserved popularity. There is no
question as to his eligibility.
The true interests of this community
could not be better subserYed than by his
nomination and election.

DIxoE's CLAIMS To a EAT IN CON-
Editors AppeaL-I was struck with the
propriety and force of your article the
other day, In which you say that "no man
has claims Upon the party or the people
for any position" Iagree with you, that
the people may justly have claims upon
individuals, but In no case nave indivfdu-
ais claims upon the people. Men should
be selected, not to advance their particu-
lar interests, nor to reward them for SER
vices rendered, either real or imaginary,
but because alone of their peculiar fitness
for the position in which they are sought
to be placed, and because of their cspact-
ty to serve h people better than others
that might be chosen. These, / think,
are the true principles upon which candi-
dates for public position should be select
In your columns the names Of
many most worthy gentlemen
have been mentioned in connection
with the candidacy for Congress.
Amongst them l have observed that OF the
Hon. Geo. Dixon.
Without detracting the least from the
merits of the many gentlemen mentioned.
/ beg leave to say that in my opinion no
me combines more of those qualities
necessary TO make an efficient Represent
alive, nor comes more fully up to the
standard marked out in your article al
luded to han does he.
Judge Dixon is one of our oldest and
worthiest citiZsns. He is a profound law
yer; has presided with ability and dignity
upon the bench of one of the most impor-
tant courts in Tennessee. He is honest,
he is capable, he is faithful. He has been
true to his country and his section.
He has been a consistent Democrat

me that Judge Dixon is the man for the

Progress Of the Fort Smith and Little Rock
Railroad.

The Little Rock Gazette, of FRIDAY, saws
" In-yesterday's paper we announced the
arrival of the Colossal loaded with rail
road iron for the Fort Smith railroad.
She left a portion of her load at Fourche
Bar, and returns this morning for it.
She brought up from New Orleans also,
as far as the mouth of White river. q
large barge loaded with iron, and will re-
turn in a day or two and carry it up
White river. On Sunday last the steam
ers Minnie and Importer, zach with
barges in tow, all loaded with iron, ar
rived at the mouth, and passed on up
White river. All these boats have about
1000 tons of iron, enough to complete the
road to Lewisburg. In less than a month
We will be able to greet our friends at
Lewisburg after a two'hour's ride"
The Fort Scott weekly Herald, of Sat-
urday, responds as follows:
Though we do not expect, within the
next thirty days, to be able to reach Lew
isburg in a two hours ride. vet we cannot
refrain from exclaiming with the Gazette.
'Ho for Lewisburgl'
ut is gratifying to note the progress be-
ing made, and the energy manifested by
the Fort Smith and Little Rock Railroad
Company, and the determination to pros
ecute this road to completion as speedily
as possible; and it demands not only the
confidence, but the aid of the people all
along the line. Send for more iron; push
along, keep pushing; and let us soon be
able to say in this neck of woods, fHo.

Editors APpeGl-The people of Shelby
and Upton must select in joint conyen-
ton a Democratic candidate for F.oster.
1t is thought nothing but just that the
candidate should come from Upton. DIR.
NJ. Bell, of the latter county, is most emf
nently worthy of the support of the DEM
Ocracy for this position. No better selec-
ton could be made by the Floaterial Con-
.vention. He is a man of capacity, integ-
rity and industry. He is exceedingly
popular, and will add strength to the
ticket. We call on DIR. Bell TO allow his

ABUSE Of AUTHORITY BY POLICEMEN.

The following has been furnished us by
thoroughly reliable parties, and we call
the attention of our efficient Chief of PO-
lice to it.. The names of our infOrmants
are at his disposal, and we hope an imme-
date investigation of the charges will be
made:
Editors AppeGE-A case of outrageous
conduct on the part of two police officers
at the circus yesterday afternoon was re-
ported to us, which should receive the
prompt attention of the chief. 1t seems
that during the performance the clown
threw himself outside the ring upon the
ground, and in rising struck a gentleman
sitting near with his hat, in the usual
clownish manner, asking him at
the same time what he was laugh
ing at. The eyes of all in the
crowd were of urs directed toward the
gentleman, who blushed and hung his
head, accepting at as a joke. The clown
backed into the ring and said, "You need
not get mad, you fool, for you know 1 IN
a fool" This again raised a laugh at the
strangers expense, who evidently felt
embarrassed at the situation he was
placed in. Immediately two police OIL
GERS stepped up and asked the astOnished
gentleman if he was armed. He replied
not. They then made him rise from his
seat, and in the presence of thousands
who were looking on, they searched him
for 8 pistol, out found none. AT bnls the
laugh turned on the two policemen,
but not to lose a chance Of
showing their authority, they sr-
rested the poor fellow and marched
him of out of the show. Several persons
sitting near murmured very audi6ly hat
it was an outrage, and one OF our we'll
known citizens followed the party out of
the tent, where he demonstrated with the
officers some time before they released the
prisoner. 1t was a ~higb>banded outrage
searching an inoffensive citizen for arms
must be stopped, and the sooner it is
done the better. The police have no more
right to demand whether a gentleman,
going along attending to his business, is
or search him for arms, than they
have to search his pockets for money, |
we reiterate that it is high time they
knew it.
