friend of the same, is thing incompre-
hensible to us. We do not believe that
such an one can be found. Men pirate
ON the streets and crossroads about
their being Democrats, when perhaps at
heart they belle the assertion and would
be glad to see the party disintegrated.
II is hard to tell at sll times what
causes operate upon the human heart
and forces men to give expression to
views that in themselves look little
strange. Some anonymous writer, from
Baskerville, in the Avalanche of yester-
day complains that he don't know the
members of the Executive Committee,
although he has lived in the county many
years and for that reason is opposed to
the Convention That he is not person
ally acquainted with the members of the
Committee is his misfortune, and might
be imputed to his ignorance as well
as living in the backwoods, from the
tAl.at -.
haunts of men and civilization.
Some of the members of said Committee
are glad of the honor of having been
born on the soil Of Shelby county, and
fatter themselves that they have not
lived in entire obscurity If a meeting
has not taken place between these and
the backwoodsman from near Baskerville,
it really amounts to little so far as inter
est and success of the Democratic party
is concerned
And as to our saying we would sup
port jackass should be be the nominee
of the party, we would not deem this
offensive to theFisherville correspondent,
since it is through such a policy alone
he may look for future prefermept. 1t
is not the wish, separately, of the COM
mittee that the Convention should be
held, but the general voice of the Demo-
cratic masses demand it.

Woods Charges Against Howard
Rum0red Resignation in the Cabi-
tion---James River and Ohio Canal
1.-The Catacazy Letter, etc.
WASHINGTON, April 11.---General Howard is
preparing to give the House Committee to
which Fernando Woods charges against him
we're referred. an opportunity for a complete
investigation. His friends pronounce the
charges wholly unfounded. Howard and
Wood both appeared before the Committee
Friday.
The Chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee will finish the tariff this week.
There is considerable excitement here in re-
gard to rumored Cabinet changes. embracing
the acceptance of Hoar's resignation. The
Attorney General denies the truth of the
Fumor, and says il is the first he heard about
it.
Butler will try to get In his annexation reso-
luton to-day.
There is a bitter contest over the U. S. Mar
shall of Mississippi. with indications that
Butler will carry bis point over Attorney Cen
eral Hoar.
A delegation from Richmond has arrived,
Their object is to secure, if possible, from
Congress an appropriation for the building Of
canal, connecting the waters Of the James
and Ohio rivers; and is a step to secure a con-
tinuous line Of water communication between
the East and West. To complete the work,
although a portion of II is built THE James
River and Kanawha Canal, will require $751;
100000.
Tho truth about the bogus Catacazy letter.
regarding Secretary Fish, turns out to be thus
Some one wishing to get Catacazy in trouble
with our Secretary of State forged series Of
letters, purporting to have been written by
Gen. Ignatif. of Russia. and Catacazy. A let
ter FROM Ignatif was written as though he had
become Prime Minister of Russia, vice Prince
Gottchadoif resigned. In answer TO Igpatif,
Catacazy alluded to his predecessor. This at
once showed the bogus character Of the CORE
spondence. which was based on fact that
never had existence. A telegram reached this
country sometime ago that Gottchadoff had re-
signed and been succeeded By Gen, Ignatif.
but il proved untrue. The forger, however,
was not aware Of the real situation. and COM
mitted q biunder in writing the letter from Ig-
natif to Cataeazy, a. though the former were
Prime Minister. The supposed letter Of Cata-
cay TO Ignatif is full Of abuse of Secretary
Fish. copy was supplied to the Secretary,
who, on slight investigation, pronounced the
entire correspondence bogus.

To the Editor of the Ledger:
The convention will meet on Monday,
the 18th instant, for the purpose of =
lecting proper candidates to represent
the Democracy of Shelby county at the
May election for judicial officers. We
would respectfully suggest to the CON
vention the name of Colonel John 4. X.
Ray as man eminently qualified to fill
the position of Attorney General if NOM
mated and elected. Formerly Secretary
Of State, Of large and liberal views, gen.
erous and open-handed, ever ready to
give the right hand of fellowship to all
men, John Ray has no compeer in his
daily walk and conversation; and as a
Democrat of the old school, should be
most acceptable to the Democracy of the
county. As leading chancery lawyer
Colonel Ray has few superiors, and if
elected to the position (which we hope
he will be candidate for none will be
found to give more satisfaction to bench
and bar, plaintiff and defendant, than
the honorable gentleman we speak of.
