kILLED.-It is our painful duty 10 an
'nounce that on Friday, December Gath.
'ult., our city was the scene Of a bloody
street rcncounter, in which a fellow being
lost his life. Mike Sedbcrry, formerly of
Jefferson, was shot dead by ]. C. Thomas
City Marshal. The weapon used was a
'six-shootcr' pistol. 1t appcarp that in the
forenoon Mr.. j. j. Fendley was crossing
Commerce street with bottle in his hand
At-this bottle, in order 10 show superior
craftsmanship, Sedberry fired. For this
tho Marshal arrested him, taking away
his pistol. BY some means Sedberry got
free from custody and walked about the
streets. After q while Thomas and Sed-
berry agnin met in the saloon, corner Of
Commerce and jefferson streets, and Sed.
berry charging Thomas with stealing his
pistol, the odd lie" was given, whsreupon
Sedberry drew a knife and Thomas n Der
ringer pistol. The knife was wrsnched
from sedberry's hand by one or two Of the
'bystanders, and he taken to the back part
OF tho room. Soon however he made a
rush for his knife, when Thomas struck
him a severe blow on the head with a
slung shot. His wound was dressed BY
DR.. A. A.. Johnson. About three o'clock
in the afternoon, Sedberry, in liquor, but
having somewhat recovered from his hurt,
saw Thomas in front Of the City Hotel,
soma twenty or thirty steps off, and fred
'upon him with q worthless old~-fashionsd
pistol. Almost simultaneously both par
ties drew their weapons and fred. Sed-
berry fired twice-once before falling and
. once afterward. Thomas fred four shots,
each hitting the mark, Ssdberry receiving
'one ball in the leg and three in tho breast.
These arc the particulars as they have
been related to US. They may or may not
ibs thoroughly correct. We do not vouch
for them, as we saw nothing Of the ARRAY.
Sedberry's remains were followed to the
grave by many Of our best citizens and
decently laid away in the dark and silent
-'City of the Dead" there TO resolve to
dust and slumbsr on when empires have
vanished and republics passsd away.

The FARMrR's TAx.-The commissioner

The FARMERS TAx.-The commissioner
OF internal revenue decides the farmers are
required to make a return Of produce sold
within the year, but not required to return
produce until the same is sold. Representa-
tive Reeves has had further correspondence
with the bureau of internal revenue which
adheres to its decision, heretofore announced.
that farmers selling their produce from wag-
ons or stalls in cities must pay the special
license tax Of $40 as produce brokers. There
are indications that the committee of ways
and means will strike out this legal feature
from the internal revenue bill.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of the
Oriental and Mediterranean Steamship Com
pany, with agents of leading Southern rail-
roads, appeared before the House committee
on shipping yesterday to urge the passage
of their bill, which has for its main object
the transportation of immigrants to the
Southern States through Baltimore, Norfolk,
Charleston and Savannah. The measure
asks for no subsidy of land or money, and
appears to be endorsed by the Southern
Legislatures and boards of trade.
SUPREME Counr JUDeEs.-At a caucus
of the conservative members of the Legisla-
ture, held on the evening Of the 21st inst,
the following nominations were made:
Judge r. G. l.. Moncure, of Stafford j;
Hon. Waller r. Staples. of Montgomery /;
Judge Joseph J. Christian, of Middlesex ;
William T. Joynes, of Petersburg and
Francis T. Anderson, of R~ockbridge.
Mr.. Eldridge, Of Wisconsin, in the House
of Representatives, a few days ago, took
occasion to comment-and he did it with
point and energy--upon the use Of the word
''loyalty," now SO often heard, for a purpose
If not for a consideration !" He said,
now a days, it always reminded him of the
definition given Of it, during the war, by a
contractor!
Western members, especially those from
Ohio, are receiving numerous memorials
asking Congress to abolish the national
banks, redeem their outstanding notes, is
sue five hundred millions in greenhacks, and
pay off three hundred and forty millions of
the fi~ve-twenty bonds. These memorials
have been signed without regard to party.
The reason Beccher declined to receive
5000 instead of S12, 600 salary per an

congregation, in the event Of accepting,
would put a stop to bis lectures, newspaper
