DANGEROUS FALL.
Injuries to Colonel Fleming.

Special TO the Appeal
CHATTANOOGA, August 2l, 1872
Colonel John NJ. Fleming, of Knox
vile, sustained very serious injuries from
a fall out of buggy Friday night while
riding from Sparta to MeMinnville. He
had been in attendance at the Congress
sional Convention of the Second Dis
triet at Sparta, and was, in company
with Colonel Tom O'Connor, of Knox
vile, riding in one Of those small bug
giles without a top, and having seating
room merely for two very small people,
The road was rugged, and when the lit
tie vehicle gave a sudden and violent
lurch to one side, the great weight of
Colonel O'Connor was thrown over to
the side of Colonel Fleming, and he was
unseated. In the fall, his left ankle was
brought in contact with a stone, and he
was disabled. He had to be carried ten
DERBY to McMinnYille, where he got on
the cars for Chattanooga, and thence
home. When he reached Knoxville, at
three o'clock Sunday morning, his knee
was greatly swollen, and the injury to
his ankle was considered of a serious
character. At latest advices, the dec
tors could not positively say whether the
leg was fractured or not. 1t is thought
he will be laid up with it for a month or
two at least.

CHICAGO, August 20.-A daring es-

tween eleven and twelve o'clock last
night, by four young men confined
therein, three of them awaiting trial foI
robbery, and the other serving out two
years term, for attempting to kill po-
liceman. The prisoners had been sup
piled, by friend outside, with revol-
vers, and one of them, who was al
lowed the privilege of the corridors, Oh
tanned the cell to keep, while the depu-
ty jailer in charge was sitting outside OF
the jail, and liberated his friends. Upon
the jailer entering, he was confronted
by the ruffians, each of whom pointed a
cooked revolver at his head, while the
leader demanded the key to the outer
door. Resistance was useless; the jailer
gave up the key, the daring prisoners
unlocked the door and walked out. All
are well known to the police, and will
probably be soon recaptured.

the Minstrels.

Special to.the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, August 2O.-The situa-
ton of the Minstrel party hourly grows
more critical. Hadley will publish a
card in the Daily Republican of to-
morrow morning, declining any nomi-
nation at the hands of the Convention.
The slate now stands: Baxter for
Governor, Bishop for LieHtenant-GOv-
ernOr, Yonley for Acknowledgement,
and Bradley or Weshire for Congress
man for the State at large.
The negro delegations are at logger
heads, and a repetition of the scenes at
Jackson, Mississippi, is looked for.
l learn through good Brindle- Tail au-
thority that there viii be no change in
the ticket, for the reason that If any
Democrats are put upon it, or even an
other Liberal Republican, the negroes
viii desert Joe Brooks by regiments.
The strength of the Minstrel-Clayton
party lies in the negro vote, as the white
voters are deserting the party hourly.
Clayton, as might be expected, favors
martial law and violence. Their scheme
is to provoke violence and then have
witnesses ready to throw the blame up
on innocent people.
Hadley dissents from the villainous
plot, and per consequence, has been left
out in the cold.
Judge Baxter will undoubtedly receive
the nomination for Governor. Hadley
has a great deal of influence, and is
using it all for Baxter.
Bishop is working all the plans he
can think Of to secure the nomination
for Lieutenant-GOverno He is more
of a Clayton man than Baxter.
Judge Baxter declares that if nomi- |
mated and elected he intends, if posi- |
bic, and he believes he can, to so dis |
charge the duties of the office of Gov
ernor as to give entire satisfaction to the |
whole peOple-DemOcrats by no means |
excepted-and make this a government |
of the people for hepeople; and he says
that he intends to be his own master, |
