Last Saturday night about eleven O'Clock
two negroes named Cobb and Ed. HObson
became involved in a conflict of words
which terminated quite seriously to the
latter, who having knocked Cobb down
jumped upon him and received two stabs,
one in the neck and the other in the abdo-
men. At the time the difficulty occurred
the parties were near the Franklin Foundry,
returning from festival and party out on
the Franklin pike. After being wounded
HObsOn walked all the way to town in
search of a physician, but not finding one
afterwards walked from Union street to his
home, on Front street, near the residence OF
Mr.. Parrish. Persons who saw the wound
ed man say that it seemed almost impossible
for one so badly wounded to be able to walk
so far. His wounds were dressed Sunday
morning by physician, and his recovery is
doubtful.

WASHINGTON.
Omciar Advices from Utah.

! WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Advices received
! by the government from Utah report thai
the most shocking part of the testimony
against Hawkins was published, it being
I not only irnmodest but bestial. The verdict
came like a thunder bolt TO the 'Mormons
! It is not believed that the ether parties car
be saved. The presence of troops is a
check to disturbances.

pany VS., Huckberger ct al, the Merchants

from the Southern District of Lllinois-tak-
ing the view that these cases were prosecUl-
ted for delay, the judgment of the Court
below was affirmed, with 10 per cent. dam
ages in each case.
Tribute TO the Memory of Ewing.
In the Supreme Court to-day, Attorney
General Al1erman announced the death of
ThOs. Ewing, and made a feeling speech.
Resolutions in honor of the memory Of the
deceased were passed by the members of
the bar. The Chief Justice made the fol-
lowing reply s.- I'll
& The Court shares with the bar the senti-
ments expressed by their resolutions, which
will sbe entered upon the records in accord
ance with their request. We all feel that
whatever hOnOrs can be paid the memory
OF Ewing are properly paid. This is the
record of youth patient in toll, full of as
Piration; of a manhood worthily employed
in various and honorable public trusts and
forensic labors, which gave us frequent Oc-
caSion to note the remarkable grasp and
vigOr of his intellect, the great variety and
extent of his attainments; of a prOtracted,
serene old age; of calm and peaceful
death, surrounded by children worthy of
their father. To family and friends the
death of a relative and friend so honOred
and beloved, however long deferred, comes
always too soon. Counting ourselves not
the least aflectionate among the friends of
Ewing, we yet doubt not that all near to
him in friendship or relationship will ever
find consolation in rejecting upon the great
ness Of the example he has left for the imi-
tatiOn of his countrymen.
Wants Two Offices.
Col. Wiekeler declined the appointment
Of United States Attorney for Utah, be-
cause the Postmaster General refuses to al
low him to hold the office of Postal Agent

There is rImor current that another de-
alcatiOn of a large amount has just been
discovered at the pension agency of one of
he largest cities in the country, and that an
inquiry into the affairs of the agent is being
quietly instituted. The agent, as reported
by Gen. Spinner, held on the 1th inst. over
/ hundred and ten thousand dollars on de-
,osit at the Assistant Treasurer's at New

The Mormon Prisoners at Camp Doug
Ias-Emmense Meeting at the Taber-

The Mormon Prisoners at Camp Doug.
Ias-Emmense Meeting at the Taber-
naeie-SermOns by Elders Cannon
and Pratt.
SALT LAKE, Oct. 29.-Hundreds of peo-
pie, principally MormOns, visited Camp
Douglas to-day, to see Mayor Wells and the
other prisoners. Gen. Morrow gave the
visitors unrestricted access to their friends,
and by his courteous remarks and manner
inspired a much better feeling than might
have been expected under the circumstan-
ces. The arrested parties are quartered in
a comfortable, well furnished cottage, and
seem quite cheerful. A guard of soldiers
marches to and fro on the outside.
Ed. Geo. Q. Cannon arrived this morn
ing from San Francisco, and preached this
afternoon in the large esplanade to an au
dience numbering at least ten thousand.
His mind had evidently undergone a re-
markable change, for he counseled his hear
ers to abstain from any acts of violence,
and to submit to the law. God would pro-
tect them and deliver them from their per-
secutOrs. The crusade against them, he
said, would only strengthen and glOrify them
in the end. Their church could not be over
turned; their faith was the inspiration of the
Divine Spirit, and would endure forever.
Ed. Pratt was not so conservative. He did
not want any whining Judge to say to him
as he did to Hawkins, 81 am sorry for you"
He wanted no sympathy from any indivi-
dual official. He was ready to go to jail for
twenty years, but no pity for him from such
a source. He predicted that God would
totally overthrow or annihilate the present
prosecutors of the Mormon people.
Nothing further has been heard from
OrsOn Hyde, the apostle. 1t is thought he
has gone to Arizona or Mexico.
Joseph A. Young son of Brigham, has
returned to the city, but he is not yet ar
rested.
A row occurred latelast night between a
Mormon and the United States Deputy
Marshal, which resulted in the Marshal
knocking the Mormon down and afterward
arresting him. For time it was reported
that an attempt had been made to assassin
ate the Deputy, and there was great excite
ment: All is now quiet and there is no in
dicatiOn of disturbance. The late arrests,
however, have created marked depression
in the Mormon community.

Maury County Railroads and Manu-
faefOrias-


factories.
From the following notice. clipped from
the Herald, of Friday last, it will be seen
that Maury is arOusing her people to an in
tereSt in railroads and manufacturing. Other
counties are also at work and have begun
to chide old Maury for a seeming lack of
interest heretofore:
THE FIRST MONDAY IN NOVEMBER.
The Marry County Farmers Club has
appointed one of its members, Col. l..
ID. Myers, to address the people on the
first Monday in November next upon
the necessity of establishing and sus-
tanning manufactures in our midst. Notice
has been given throughout the county, and
we look for a very large crowd of people in
town that day. We trust that the able
speaker will also touch upon our railroad
interests. There are no less than four new
lines of railroads proposed by our neighbOrs.
The Clarksville people want las TO help
continue the Hopkinsville railroad 10 our
town; the Memphis and Knoxville railroad
is certain to be built as far as Savannah.
and the projectors desire that it come by
Columbia. The Duck River Valley rail-
road is one of the most important
ever offered to our city, and the Colum-
bis and Fayetteville Railroad would bring
us nearly the entire trade of Marshall
county. Our county and city should vote a
hundred thousand dollars to each of these
roads. Appropriate money to build these
roads, and manufactures viii spring up in
our midst, of necessity, like magic. Maury
county has ten millions of real estate, and
four railroads would make it worth twenty
millions. The Nashville and Decatur Rail
road enhanced the value of our lands about
three times their origiAal value, and the four
projected roads we have named are almost
as badly needed, and would prove ulti-
mately almost as valuable.

New YORK, Oct. 30.-A correspondent
of the London Tines writes from Berlin,
that during June or July last the Russian
government invaded the annexed country OF
Dzoungaria, on the northern slopes of the
Tian Chan mountains, on the eastern bor-
ders of the Empire. The territory is twice
as large as Ireland, is rich in mineral and
agricultural resources, and has population
of about two millions. Hostilities were be-
gun by Russia, on account of the refusal of
the DzOungarians TO surrender fugitive.

serious Accident.

Last Saturday a gentleman by the name
of Samuel Dodd, fell from his wagon on
the corner of Fillmore and Carroll streets,
breaking his right arm very badly. The
wheels of the wagon passed over his foot
and arm, the latter ofwhich is shattered and
injured so severely that amputatiOn will
most likely be necessary. We learn that
one of his legs was also injured either by
the fall or wheels, and that he was suffering
much helm. We regret to hear of the aeci-
dent, and hope his injuries are not as seri-
Gus as reported.

A Noble Appeal for Worse Sufferers
CHICAGO, Oct-sl80-a-The TSfBWite, this
morning makes an appeal 10 the generous
in behalf of tie sufferers IN Michigan, Wis
consm and Minnesota. Probably 10000
people in northern Wisconsin and Michigan
alone have been stripped of every earthly
possession by these fires. Many of them
have also been rendered sick, blind or Grip
pied by the ordeal, which will necessarily
make them objects of charity for some time
TO come. Unfortunately too, where whole
whole families and whole communities were
involved in the common ruin, there are no
neighbors or relatives on whom, as in Chi
cago, some of the sufferers can fall back for
assistance. They can merely fall back, in
masses, TO the nearest towns unscathed by
the flames, there to starve or freeze unless
timely aid arrives This should, for hu-
manity's sake, be prompt and copious
Money and clothing are the articles most
needed, and the Governors of Wisconsin
and Michigan are most appropriate channels
through which aid can be administered.

a New Rule of the Louisville and Nash
willie Railroad Causing Dissatlsfae-
fiOu Among Shinnprs


The Louisville and Nashville railroad has
lately adopted new restriction applicable
to perishable freights which does not meet
with very cordial endorsement by shippers.
The new regulation applies to perishable
freights, and is such as to require the ship
per to sign ''releasen exOnerating the
company from all liability from any cause
whether from accident, delay, careless
ness, or other circumstances. The follow
ing is a copy of the release the shippers of
periShable freightS are required to sign:
STANDING RELEASE.
Good tgttH July l, 1872.
Shipping daily bv THE l.. 81 n. II. r., con-
signed to various parties, the following arti-
cles, viz
............. ..............-.....
1t is agreed that as the goods above men
toned are perishable, and such as the rail
road companies will carry at shippers risk,
in consideration that the l.. &. n. road and
lines of railroads in connection will receive
and carry said goods to point of destination
for the rate agreed upon, which is current
rates per 100 lbs from Louisville to points
named in Bs. Ldg., it is agreed and under
stood that | hereby release said road
and its connections from all liabilities
on account of any damage TO said
goods, and agree to take all risks of damage
to same and in no case to hold the Louis
vile and Nashville road and its connections
liable for any damage to or on account of
said goods. The roads between points of
shipment and destination DO not agree or
guarantee to carry the above goods through
in any given time. Having read and fully
understanding this contract, l enter into it
with full knowledge that l take all risks,
abe that the Louisville and Nashville road
and its connections are not liable in any
case for damage to the above property.
This done by my free will and consent.
Witness my hand and seal this - day
of October, 1871.
In defense of this rather extraordinary re-
quirement, it is claimed that this course is
forced upon the road by its connections
with lines south, and is said to have origin
ated with the Green Line organization.
No wonder shippers at Louisville or else
where should object to such unjust and un-
reasonable requirements.
