THE FIFTH DISTRICT.

Withdrawal of Col. N. N. Cox.
To the Voters Of the Fifth Congressional District
At the time my name was announced
as candidate, l had assurances that if l
labored under no disability from the Four
teenth Amendment, there could be
no trouble in taking my seat if elected.
Having no disabilities, concluded to run
the race. ] have now learned that the
bill which would relieve that class of our
population only passed the Senate; there
fore the test oath was still administered
to all except those relieved by an act of
Congress. / cannot take such an oath if
elected, and would have but one chance
in securing my position, which would
be by Congress at its next meeting
passing an act to relieve me. Under
these circumstances l spprehend that |
might not only be of injury to myself,
but of greater injury to you; and, if
elected, and Radical should apply for
the place upon the ground of my ineligi-
bility, he might be permitted to take the
place l think no personal interest can
be equal to the importance of securing
member clear of all questions of this char
acter. l therefore feel it my duty to
withdraw from the race, SO that may, as
far as possible, remove any difficulties in
reaching the desired end. "
To the warm friends who so generously
enlisted in my interest, and rendered me
their support, return my wsrmest thanks,
and hope that soon you, with me, and al
others, shall be free, and feel that each
citizen has the same privileges. ...

Inhuman Treatment OF a Dying
Mnn.

Inhuman Treatment OF a Dying
Yesterday was the occasion OF one OF
the most inhuman acts in this city ever
witnessed. Balwin Street, colored man
arrived here yesterday in very bad con-
dition. The police tried, by every means
IN their power, to get colored brother to
take him to some house, but could not
succeed. So he had TO sleep in the car
shed. During the night, becoming
deranged, he got on the track and
was run over by the switch en-
gine. Both legs were passed over
and mangled in a terrible manner.
Policemen Wiltse and Humphreys were
soon on the spot, but could not get sny
one to take him to house without they
promised to pay for it. After a great
deal of threatening, they forced 8 few
negroes to carry him to the public board
ing house of one Messengale (cOlored),
but here there arose another difficulty.
The proprietor refused to let them in,
and when they attempted to go in shut
the door. The police forced the door,
but then Messengale refused to let them
have bed. The police had TO stay and
guard him to keep the heartiess scoundrel
from throwing him out into the street.
After about an hour and half he died,
although DIR. Gilman did all he could to
save him.-ChGttGaoogG Times, Aug.

Withdrawal of Hon. Dorsey ID.
Thomas.
To the Voters of the Sixth Congressional District
have for some time been announced
as candidate for Congress from this dis
trict. Justice to you requires that /
should withdraw from the canvass. /
will briefly state the reasons. In 1861,
after the secession of the State, was q
candidate for the State Senate. 1t is not
necessary now to state the reasons for my
being q candidate. l was not elected; did
not expect OF desire to be. This does not
literally or truly bring me under disabili-
ties, but technically may. To remove all
difficulties on that score, l last spring, by
petition, stated the facts to Congress, and
asked, if under disabilities, 10 be relieved.
The bill in which my name, with several
thousand other citizens of the State was
included, did not pass. This still leaves
me in doubtful position. l have no
doubt of the passage of the bill in Decem-
Der next, but would not have you take any
risks, direct or contingent. l should have
notified you of the facts long ago, but
was advised by friends to defer it until a
QleGllUg VI a ulStltCb COhNCaeAOA SOUAN w
had, and then submit them to its consider
ations. This / had resolved to do, and
would do, but there is being good deal
of feeling engendered between the per
sonsl friends of Gen. WhitthOrne and my
self. have labored too long and too
earnestly, and have made TOO many sacrl-
fees for the re-establishment of just and
correct principles of government to allow
any desire on my part for mere personal
nreferment for a moment TO distract and
divide the counsels of those who should
work together in harness.
Ihope those friends who have person
allv or bv convention solicited me to be-
come a candidate will allow me to pursue
this course. / cannot have a personal
scramble for office with those for whom
| have SO long labored. To my personal
friends who have so warmly supported
me, and to the masses of the great Demo
cratic and Conservative party, who have
with singular unanimity rendered nae their
sunport, | tender my sincere thanks.

NOTES ON TRAVEL.

The Crops in West Tennessee--EvI-
dences Of Thrift-The Masonic
Orphans Home.
To the Editors of the Union snd American:
/ have just returned from trip through
a portion of West Tennessee, including
Obion, Dyer, Lauderdale, Haywood and
part of Shelby counties. The corn crop
Is generally good-not so good in part of
HAYWOOD, for want of rain. There is
not enough wheat raised in these counties
for home supply. The cotton crop was
materially injured by the wet weather in
June; in some localities for the want of
labor. In Shelby I was informed that
there had been too much rain of late,
breaking off the first bloom, creating a
clear loss in cotton and injuring the late
corn, by producing too many shoots. At
Western Valley, in Lsuderdsle, l meas
ured sweet potato on the 1st inst. 121
inches in length and same in
circumference. The farmers of
that rich portion of our State are wax
ing up TO the Importance of cultivsting
clover and hay. The neighborhood of

you of the grass regions of Kentucky. At
this point they have very large and beau
tifuliy located school buildings in which
frst-class teachers, male and female, are
employed, with large pupilage and
thorough education impaired. 1t was
part of the pleasure and enjoyment l had
while travelling through every nook and
corner of this (to me) lovely country, to
see the neat churches and school-houses
erected in almost every neighborhood,
adding value to their rich lands. viii
here remark that / believe every land
owner will make money by taxing him
self one dollar per acre on his land for
the erection of church and school-house
in his neighborhood, and none of them
should be without the Weekly UNION AND
AMERICAN to add to the general knoWi-
edge of their families. -...,-
The subscription to the endowment
fund" of the sMssonic Orphans Home"
in West Tennessee amounts to $6l,SlO.
To obtain the balance apportioned to that
division of the State, only requires the
time necessary to visit lodges not yet
called upon. Very respectfully,

GUS LunatIc-FOur Police Officers
ipitalLHe Shudders and Goes into
Spasms at the sight Of Water.
From the st. Louis Republican, Aug. ..
The worst symptoms of hydrophobia
were developed yesterday in the case of
Edwin Krueg, German, fifty seven
years of age. Krueg is very tai, six feet
at least, and has gray beard and Whiskers.
His expression of face is gaunt and hsg-
gard, and when in one of his temporary
attacks of madness he raves quite franti-
cally, and bis appearance is well calcu-
lated to excite horror. He lost the use of
one eye some years ago. He is said TO
have been an engineer, but has not been
actually engaged for some time. He is
also man of family. The particulars of
the dog biting which led to such shocking
results are as follows:
The unfortunate man was playing with
dog, about six weeks ago, and received
a slight wound from its teeth, on the
hand, and although he wss asked to have
the wound cauterized, he neglected to do
so. The first unfaYOrsble symptoms ex-
hibited themselves about six days ago,
and the aid of DR.. Rimberger was called
in. He then pronounced it 8 case of
hydrophobia. The patient became worse,
and to the ordinary symptoms of the dis
ease, dread of water and SPANS, accom-
panied with a dog-like utterance, was
added at times the Wild behavior Of q
desperate lunstic.
The health officer was notified OF the
case yesterday, and requested to take the
sick man to the hospital An ambulance
was sent to the address given, and the
doctor went there himself, but had only
faint idea of the reception he was going
to meet with. Kreug was found sitting
up in bed with a razor In one hand and q
loaded rifle in the o,her, prepared for all
eomers. His delusion at the time was
that he was going to be killed, and that
he ought to defeRd himself. The ambu-
lance driver was obliged to csii in the aid
of the police, and four officers were as
signed the task of escorting the furious
patient to the hospital The old man ges-
ticulated and raved considerably, but he
was in time safely ensconced in comfort
able cell at the city hospital. After being
there short time the patient was restored
somewhat to rational tranquility. He is
subject, however, to parOxysms and con-
vulsions, and is fully aware when they
are coming on. he has not eaten or
drank anything since Saturday, and water
he cannot even bear to see, shuddering
and gasping when it meets his eyes, or
anything like it. In his calm moments
he has said that he would like some
bread soaked In beer, and this diet will
probably be allowed him for time.
There is something unusual about the
case, and some hopes are entertained that
the patient may recover under medical
treatmens. As the awful disease of hy-
drophobia is, however, clearly indicated,
such result is hardly probable. The dog
which bit this man was not supposed 70
be mad at the time, but few days after
ward it had what the people near the
place called Gifts, F" and died.
