WASHINGTON, May 4-The President issued
the following proclamation to-day:
The Act Of Congress, entitled An Act 10 oyforce tho
provisions Of the Fourteenth Amendment 10 the Consti-
tuition Of the United States and for other purposes
proved April 90 A. ID. ls7 being law OF extraordinary
public importance consider my duty to issue this my
proclamation, calling the attention OF people the
'neh states thereto enioning upon all good citizens,
""u especially upon public officers be Jealous in the
oeneht thereof, and warning all persons 10 abstain
from committing any Of the acts thereby prohibed
LUG ID" oi congress applies TO all parts Of the United
states and WIN be enforced everywhere TO the extent Of
the powers vested In the Executive Put iuanuch as the
necessity therefor Is well known IN have bean caused
chiefly by persistent violations OF the rights of OF
the United states by combinations Of IawIcss and dis
affected persons In certain localities lately the theater OF
nsurrection and military conflicts do particularly ex.
hort the people of those parts Of the country to suppress
all such combinations by their own voluntary efforts
through the agency Of local laws to maintain the
rights of all citizens of the United States anG to secure
TO all such citizens the equal protection OF tAe laws
Fully sensible of the reepOnslbilty imposed upon the
Executive by the act OF Congress 10 which public aten
ton il called and reluctant TO call into exercise
any of the extraordinary thereby conferred upon
except in OF imperative necessity. do
theless deem it my duty to make known that I
will not hesitate to exhaust the power thus vested
the Executive whenever and wherever II. shall be-
come necessary TO do so for the purpose Of secur-
ing to all citizens OF the United States neaceful
enjoyment OF the rights guaranteed TO them by the Con-
stuton and laws 10 my earnest wish that peace and
cheerful obedience to the law may prevail throughout
the land, and that all traces of late unhtppy civil
strife may be speedily removed. These ends can be
easily reached by acquescence in the results Of the con-
fct written in Constitution and by the due and
proper enforcement of equal just and mpartsl laws in
every part Of country. The failure OF lLca com
munites to furnish such for the attainment of
suits earnestly desired, imposes upon the National
Government the duty of putting forth all rs energies for
the protection Of its citizens OF every and color and
for the restoration of peace and order throughout tho
entire country.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States TO be affixed

Hickman Dry Goods Trade--
Our NercIlanIS

This is the dry goods season, and our
merchants are literally buried amid the
ocean of new goods which surround
them. The merchants of Hickman
carry larger stocks than the merchants
OF the same size town in the West. We
have heard this statement confirmed by
Eastern wholesale dealers. The fact OF
their buying in such large quantities en-
ables them TO offer superior inducements,
and consequently they have, against
odds, outstripped all competing points
and retained trade from sections which
many prophecied would leave US.
j.. Il. PLAUT BRO.
This firm has brought the largest
stock in its history, and it is also noticeable
that they are dealing in thefiner class Of
goods much more extensively this season.
Their house, embracing -four rooms, is
packed damned and erammed with goods,
and wdsrust it may be with purchasers.
They win devote attention to the whole
sale and jobbing trade.
W. B. BE&SY
Is also in receipt of large and varied
stock, aud is prepared to sell as cheap
as the market affords His motto is, and
has always been, "quick sales and small
profits" HIS house is winning public
favor every day by its enterprise aud
good bargains. He has the best quality
of goods, and is ever ready, with accom-
odating clerks, to show them to visitors.
Give him trial.
j. AMBERG.
Last, but not least, j. Amberg, the
old pioneer and dry gods regulator of
fully equal to his past fame, is still in
the field. The old Hickman customers
wantedOno better recommendation to
goods than to know they cstle from a m-
bergs. His object is to sustain this old,
hard won reputation, and has the goods,
clerks, enterprise and determination to
do it, if the public will continue their
calls.
EXCLUSIVE WHOLESALE LIQUOR AND
CIGAR HOUSE.
We mention as a favorable feature for
the prosperity of Hickman, that S. Levi, |
of Cincinnati, has determined to estab /
lish an exclusively wholesale liquor and |
cigar house, at this place. Mr. Levi is |
the proprietor of an old and long estab-
lished wholesale liquor house in Ciucin-
natl, aud will be prepared to sell liquors
and cigars at his Hickman house pre-.
cisely on as favorable terms as in Gin
cinnati. His Cincinnati house is well
known to all old merchants and dealers
Of this section. We regard his establish
nent as a valuable acquisition to Kick
man.

Our FAIR which will commence next
Tuesday morning, is the all absorbing
topic at present among our people. Men,
women and children, are 10 expectancy.
Ample preparations have been made to
render the exhibition, each day, very
interesting one. The Board of Direc-
tors have been faithful in the performs
ance of their duties, and we may all ex-
pect good time generally. Some COM
plain of the scarcity of finances, but let
each remember the Fair comes but once
year, and none will die any poorer by
taking his family to this annual social
reunion. No where else is Kentucky
hospitality so plainly visible. Some
thing good to eat will be in demand
about II o'clock every day, and it is
worth week time to see friends, visi-
tors, and strangers, thus mingling to-
gether. Many strangers will be visiting
the Fair during the week, and every one
will receive a cordial welcome.

Arrest of James SNOW.

Arrest Of James snow.
Our Sheriff, George w. Jackson, ac-
companied by Lewis W. Danforth, re-
turned last Thursday from Obion Coun-
ty Tenn, having under arrest las. Snow,
who is charged with killing Dan Lace
well, opposite Hickman, Ky, near
Boyer's Ferry, in this county, about six
weeks ago, the particulars are about as
follows:
Dan Lacewell moved from Obion
County, Tenn, to this county, some
seven or eight weeks ago, and he, in
company with Bill Adkins, was riding
along the road, when James Snow and
George Lee came out Of the bushes, and
Snow shot LaeewelI with a double barrel
shot gun. woundiug him in the head,
but not fatally. Snow then drew his
pistol and dispatched him.
The Grand Jury, at called term Of
Court, found bill against Snow and
Lee, and the Governor of this State
made requisition upon the Governor of
Tennessee for the accused parties
Snow was found at his home about
nine miles from Union City, heavily |
armed and up stairs. He positively re
fused to surrender. saying he would die
first; but by having the case as it stood
properly presented to him by the sheriff
of Obion county, and others, that none
of the party, or himself, was exactly !
ready TO die, bat had come for him dead !
or live, he very wisely came to the con
clusion to come down-whieh he did, |
and was placed under guard and taken to |
Union City, and from thence to this
place, and from here on to the Farming |
ton jail until our Circuit Court convenes,
which will be the first Monday in Oc-
tober.
Snow is looked upon by great many |
in his county as a desperate man, and
knowing him as such, trouble was an
in arresting him.
The difficulty all grew out of Lacewell, |
aud others, Ku- Kluxing two of
Shows tenants on his farm, and whipping
them, and LacewelI having shot at Snow
at his own (Snow's) house. Lacewell
then moved to this county, and Snow, to-
gether with Lee, followed him and killed
him as above stated.

that taxation without representation is

of our fore mothers. ~

CITIZEN ARRESTED BY FEDERAL
SoLDIRRs-A squad of federal soldiers
visited this county on last Tuesday, and
arrested a young man by the name of
Bud Wade and carried him to Hum
boldt, Tenn. He is charged with hav-
ing killed negro man in Obion county,
Tenn, sometime last year. We under
stand Wade belonged to the Sheriff
posse at the time the killing occurred,
and that as an officer of the law he was
entirely justifable. We also understand
that Wade's arrest was prompted by per-
sonal enemies, and that he will probably
be discharged when a fair investigation
can be obtained.
II appears that the above squad was
acting as posse to the Deputy U. S.
Marshall of Tennessee, and that after
arresting Wade near this place, they
proceeded to Obion county, and effected
the arrest of FIVE other citizens charged
with being parties to the same ofense.
These citizens were arrested under writ
from the L. s. District Court of Tenn,
and will be carried to Memphis for trial.
They were carried eff, we hear, heavily
ironed The public opinion is, that
they should, and will be released so soon
as the facts are investigated by the
court.
