An effort is being made to induce
the belief that Johnson is the working
mems candidate. In a city like Nash.
vile a large crowd can be gathered at
any time for any purpose, and a pro.
cession cap be easily formed called
the working mems, when, probably not
one.tenth would he laborers, and not
all of them in favor of the avowed OBJ
jcct Of the meeting. The fact is, Cheat.
ham is as much the working mems
candidate as Johnson, and the Conven-
ton that nominated him was rs fair
and more nearly an expression of the
wishes of the people Of the State, than
the Nashville Saturday night crowd.

The Grant papers have finished theil
work of republishing Mr.. "Greelcy's

quiet as mice for want of material to
work upon. We would suggest, says
the Mobile Register, that they next
take up bis "What l Know of Farm

material for many telling points, such,
for example, as the following:
On page 90 OF "What l Know of
Farming" published by G. w. Carrie
ton Il Co., in the spring Of 1871, Mr..
Greeley discourses Of cattle and says:
ain the upper Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys there are large and small
herds of cattle that are provided with
little or no shelter. 1t is 4 ruinous
waste to leave them a prey to biting
and piercing northwesters," etc.

WHAT a curious taste a man must have
who deliberately has his coffin constructed
before his death Nothing but a naturally
morbid turn of mind can account for it. But
there are such philosophers y in existence.
One. Mr. Richard Harris, who lives in North
Carolina, thirty years ago turned out a sas-
safras tree to grow for the purpose of max
ing a coffin; and about twelve months ago
the old man had it cut down, and got man
IN ROxborough to make his coffin out of it.
The old man occasionally gets into it and
stretches himself out. by way of showing
his neighbors a grand fit" Another old
fellow in the same State had coffin cast of
iron before the war. He had his grave dug
and walled up with brick with a magnifi-
cent tomb stone, setting forth his name,
place OF birth, and fixing his death ''some-
where about the year 1861" But he was
alive and kicking in 1868. The old chap
kept his cast-iron coffin in the corn crib and
used to shell corn in it. This new method

This art the Associated Press agent at
New Orleans and the special correspondent
of the New York Times understand per-
fectlv. In reference to the assassination
of Walter Wheyland by Mccullough,
pretended sergeant-at arms OF the Carter
House of Representatives, K. II. S, the
Times special, telegraphs:
Walter Wheyland, one of the members OF
the WarmOth House, was shot and killed
about six o'clock this evening. 1t Will De
remembered that Wheyland was one OF
those unseated by the Carter men on the
fourth. 1t appears that Captain lsidore
Mccormack ana w. w. Mccullough, two
deputy sergeants- alarms of the Carter
House, were standing near Victor
restaurant, ON Canal street, not tar from
the corner of Dryades street, in the vicinity
of the State House, when Wheyland, who
is said to be notorious pugilist and Dnily,
came across Canal street toward Meteor
mack and Mccullough, drew his pistol,
and fired at Mccormack, the ball grazing
McCormack's forehead, int1icting a flesh
wound rush was Immediately made by
the police and others near by, and pistol
shot was fired at and mOrtally wounded
Wheyland. who was carried to the State
House, where he expired about half an hour
afterward.
There are contradictory opinions as to
who killed Wheyland. Mccormack and
Mccullough are under arrest, charged with
the act but large number OF persons who
were present and saw the whole affair. as
sert that it was done by one OF the police
men.
The New Orleans Associated Press agent
telegraphed:

assistant sergeants-at-arms Tor the Garter

to arrest Matthews. a member. scuifte en-
sued. in which Walter K. Wheyland was
shot He died in an hour, in the Governors
parlor at the State House. Wheyland
claims to represent the parish of Sabine,
but had been expelled by the Carter fac
ton. The suppO>itiun is, that he was en-
deavoring to prevent the arrest of Mat
thews. Colonel S. D. Scott, IA citizen who
witnessed the shooting, says when the
scutfe commenced between Mccullough and
Wheyland, squad of militia crossed over
from the opposite side of the street. Whey
land just then drew a revolver, and the
militia no doubt thinking he was going to
shoot. fired upon him. This is the first
blood shed since the trouble commenced.
The facts are that Mccullough confessed
