A CARD.

The undersigned, to whom was referred
the matters in controversy between Hon.
c. NJ McGhee, ofthe House of Representa-
tives, and Moses J. Wicks, President of the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad Compa-
ny, have carefully investigated the facts and
circumstances in which the controversy
originated.
We find that Mai. Wicks did, on the 9th
of October inst, at his own office, in the
city of Memphis, communicate to the editors
of the Memphis appeal the fact that Gen.
Malone did propose to Mr.. Wilson, in New
York, through Maj. Wicks, to purchase at
par the entire stock of East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company,
including the stock owned by G. NJ. McGhee,
Jaques, Jackson and said Wilson, as well as
the stock of all other stockholders who
wished to sell, and that Wilson said, in re-
ply, that sit is useless to make the offer, as
| am committed to Scott and his associates
for the stock owned by McGhee, Jaques,
Jackson and myself"
We further find that the fact so cOmmu-
nicated to the editors D true, and that the
communication of this f-ct was the only
connection that Maj. Wicks had with the
editorial which appeared in the appear
of 25th inst.
Yet, we are satisfied that there were cir
cumstances calculated to impress the mind
of Col. McGhee with the belief that Maj.
Wicks was the author or instigator of the
editorial referred to.
Upon full consideration of all the facts
and circumstances, we decide that the re-
marks made by Col.McGhee in the HOuseOf
Representatives, on the 9th inst, under a
misapprebension of the facts, did Maj
Wicks injustice in imputing to him the au-
thOrship or instigation of the article refer
red to, or imputing to him any improperly
of conduct in the matters referred to.

INDIAN TERRITORY.
A Border Town Ku.KIuxed

ST, LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 2S.-The Republican
has an account of the riotous proceedings
of a gang of desperadoes, last Friday, at
Gibson, the terminus of the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas railroad in the Indian terri
tory. The rioters were led by the motor
iOus villains known as Timber Jack, Pony
Bill and Keno Bill, and having got desper-
ately drunk they rode through the town
firing revolvers at random, wounded sew
eral persons, and intimated the people to
such an extent that the stores we're closed
and business suspended. Finally they at
tempted to destroy the property in the store
of Keys Il Bros, where they were met by a
posse of citizens who ordered them to de-
sist, and on their refusing were fired upon
by the posse. Timber Jack was wounded
in the face and lungs, and one of the posse
wounded in the abdomen. Keno Bill sur
rendered and the rest of the gang fled. The
citizens determined to hang Keno Bill, but
finally yielded to better counsel and sent
him out of town, threatening to kill him if
he ever returned. Next day United States
Marshal johnson, of Fort Smith, Ark, pur-
sued Keno Bill and captured him at Fort
Scott, Kansas, and took him and Timber
Jack to Van Buren,, Ark, where they will
be turned over to the United States au-
thOrities.

Demonstration of wOrkingmen.

4 demonstration of cOlOred work ngmen
took place yesterday commencing at noon.
They assembled at the corner of Cherry
and Broad streets and headed by a band
marched through the principal streets of the
city. The procession was divided into two
sections, the first containing ninety-nine
men. not including the brass band, and the
second one hundred and twenty NINE men,
including a band Of cOlOred men. Each
one carried some implement Of his
trade. The wlitewasher hOisted aloft
a lOng-handled brush as his pennant;
the wOod-sawyer slung his saw over his
shoulder, and looked like minstrel boy on
his travels. One notwithstanding darkey
staggered along under the weight Of a
heavy drill; strengthening chap carried a
bloody meat axe in his hand, while sturdy
coriwainer bore triumphantly alofl a shoe
makers clamp iii which was securely fast
ened the scarcely recognizable remains of
all old shoe.
The procession marched in n quiet and
orderly manner through the city.
On arriving at Judges Spring they were
addressed by b. F. G.. Brooks. NJ. 5. Zig
gins, NJ. Brown, john COckrill and others
The following resolution was adopted
unanimously: "That a committee Of five be
appointed to lay before our Legislature a
memorial 70 demonstrate againt the EN-
ployment Of cOnvictS as common labOrers.'
Some of the speakers introduced the sub
jet Of politics, but the officers of the Asso-
citation desire to say that they are an organ
ization of workingmen and have nothing
whatever to do with politics. They EN-
brace in their ranks laboring men irrespect-
i've of party or color.

The large majority in favor of the promo
sition is terrible rebuke to the illiberaiity
OF the controlling spirits in the SUSPENSION
Bridge Company, and shows conclusively
that the people are determined to crush out
the monopoly that has been so damaging To
the interests of the public at large. some
OF the stockholders are not responsible for
the narrow-mnded policy pursued BY the
present Bridge Company, but in their views
have been overTuled by the majority of
stock against them. We believe If the prc-
position to cross the bridge by the street rail-
road had been left to the vote of the stock
holders, that the privilege would have been
granted, but in all such matters there has
been a controlling power that could not be
moved.

THE TINKER DAVE BOUNTY
FRAUDS.
The Charges Against Gel. Stokes and
what He Says in His Own Defense
He is Relieved of His Office.

,--WAsHINGToY, Oct. 2I.-Ex-C Congress
man Stokes having furnished satisfactory
bail was allowed the freedom of the CITY
until his case COMES up for hearing before
the Criminal Courts. Stokes affects to
make light of the whole affair, and claims
that the evidence will be forthcoming to
show that he has defrauded nobody Never
theless the President, in view of the situa-
ton, las considered it advisable TO relieve
Stokes from his official duties as Commits
sioner Of Revenue in Tennessee. Accord
ing To- the specification in the warrant on
which Stokes was arrested. certificates for
bouutl money were issued exclusively to
Stokes, notwithstanding that numerous
claim agents in the city had papers in sew
eral of these cases. The total amount of
money received by Stokes is placed at
$120,UJ0, whereof the Government officials
who were sent 70 Tennessee to work up
this fraud state that only S5l 900 was paid
10 bona tide claimants, and sum Of 500,
600 remains TO I've accounted for.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette
Ex-CongresSman Stokes. having given
satisfactory bail was allowed the freedom
of the city to-day, and he went up to report
to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
He affects to make light of the charges pre-
ferred against him, and says he can easily
disprove them when his trial comes on.
With regard to Capt. Beatty's company, he
says that at one time it consisted of three
hundred men. and that the lowest average
of those who performed service in said
company was one hundred and three per-
sons, for whom his private bill contemp-
lated relief. The President, has relieved
Stokes from further service as Collector of
Internal Revenue in Tennessee, and order
ed the Deputy Collector TO discharge the
duties until further orders. According
to the specifications in the warrant on
which Stokes was arrested, The latter had
charge of all the papers onS which the
money was obtained, and that, notwith-
standing claim agents here were employed
in several of these cases, certificates for
bounty money were issued to Stokes. those
for the privateS for one thousand and sixty
dollars each, and for officers from 81 900 to
5000 each, the sum total aggregating about
$4,000. Whereas, according to the state
ments Of government officials who were
sent IL Tennessee to work mp this ease. the
full number Of men legally entitled to relief.
including officers, was only thirty-five, and
consequently there were over sixty-fiye
names improperly placed on the rolls, and
fraudulent claims were thus allowed for

MYSTERIOUS Murder.

Boston, Oct. 2S.-The murder Of Kate
Lesham is still involved in mystery, and the
Chief of Police, Savage, requests any infor-
nation calculated to throw light upon the
tragedy. Wrapped around the furnace
wrench with which the murder was done,
was a copy of the Helena Clarion news
paper, dated Feb. 1G, 1871, published in
Helena, Arkansas. Any one sending such
paper to persons in this vicinity should
communicate with the Chief of Police, as it
might furnish a clue to the murderer.
