GREELEY AT HOME.
Chappaqua Invaded Large Gathering
Substantial HOspitaIiiy-A Walk
Over the Farm-Speeehes, Etc.

CHAPPAQUA, July l3.-The assem-
blage of the Democratic Committee and
others on the farm of Horace Gneeley
to-day, was merely social gathering
or picnic. Greeley conducted various
delegates over his farm in the forenoon,
and described all peeuliarities. A boun.
tiful dinner was served at one O'Clock,
after which Greeley addressed the meet
ing, consisting of about five hundred
people. He said it was a social gather
ing, having no other purpose than con-
gregating for pleasure. There were
friends from home, from far and near,
and he wished they would frequently
visit him at his farm.
Senator Given made a short speech,
IN which be eulogized the future Presi-
dent, and strongly advocated a close and
everlasting alliance between the Demo
crats and Liberal Republicans, as the
only means Of salvation for the country.
Judge Reagan, Of Texas, was the next
speaker. he dwelt at some length ON
the honesty of Greeley, and in bitter
language denounced General Grant,
whom he characterized as useless, dis
honest and corrupt, and called ON every
man from Maine 10 Texas to rally round
Greeley, who was honest, straight-fOr-
ward, and more than competent to gov
ern this great country. Three cheers
We're then given for Horace Greeley, the
Democrats and Liberal Republicans.
Neither Mr.. DOolittle nor Mr.. Schell
were present, and the affair, from begin
ming TO end, was exceedingly quiet
Not One-half Of the members Of the Bal
tim0re Committee We're present. Sew

pressiOns as TO supporting Greeley in
the coming campaign, and promising

BITS OF tIsERr.
A Few Specimens Of the smaIi InIquIfy
Developed Yesterday.


Z Frederick Woods was sent 70 jail with
out bail by Recorder Winters yesterday
morning. Fred is accused Of Stealing a
horse from Mr.. Nelson Castles, who lives
near ElmwOOd Cemetery.
a lonely young female, who has been
married two weeks, arrived yesterday

in search of her husband, who had for
saken her.
A cOlOred woman named Mary Taylor
went 10 the residence of Mr.. L. NJ. Cris-
pin yesterday, to get some washing.
Having secured a bundle of clothing
she took them to her apartments in

being able to procure bOndsmen in the
sum of five thousand dollars The Re-
cOuder did it. He also sent Pat Joyce to
the county jail, for stealing ten dollars

THE STOKES TRIAL.
Argument OF Counsel Closed Judge In.
graham's Charge TO the JHry-Ru-
mOrs OF the Result.

New YORK, July 13.-Judge Ingra-
ham, in his charge to the jury in the
Stokes case, to-day, reviewed the evil
dence for the prosecution and defense,
concluding IS follows "If you believe,
when the prisoner fired and inflicted the
mortal wound, he feared great bodily
harm or danger 20 his life, and that there
was danger Of il being accomplished, he
was JUSTIFIED In his act, and you viii find
accordingly. II you do not believe the
act was justifiable, and that il was done
in the sudden heat of passion, and with
out any previous intent 10 kill, or that
the prisoner might have avoided the
conflict by retreating from the danger,
you viii find him guilty Of manslaugh-
ter in the third degree. If you believe
that the wounds inflicted were not
mortal, and that il was the treat
ment which caused death. then YOU
must acquit him; but If you find he was
not justified before the shooting, he
having q premeditated design 10 take
life, whether such design was formed be-
fore or after arriving at the hotel, and
that the wound so given caused the
death of the deceased, then you viii find
the prisoner guilty Of murder in the first
degree" The jury retired at half-past
two In the afternoon and returned at
five O'Clock 10 ask for all of Fisk's cloth
ing, which request was granted. At
seven they were sent for, and there
being no prospect Of their agreeing, the
court took a recess until halfpast ten
this morning. IL is understood that
eight Of the jury are for murder In the
first degree and four for manslaughter in
the third degree

NEssRs. sLEDGR & MCKAY.

Messrs. Sledge & Mckay are about to
establish themselves in business in Mem
phis, as extensive grOcers and cotton
men. The two stores in the Jackson
Block, next GayOsO street, are now un-
dergoing a system of repairs and changes
which viii make them fit for the heavy
purposes designed, and will be opened
for business on the fifteenth of August.
Their card is published on our front
page. The cotton man of the firm-AIr
McKay-has been in the business TWEEN
ty-five years, and knows all about it..
Mr.. n. r. Sledge is an old citizen of
Pamela county, Mississippi, where be
did a large business, and had business
affiliations with the first merchants in
Memphis, and notably with Messrs.
Ford, Porter & Co. The firm is solid,
full of energy and business tact. They
will start out in Memphis with a first
class house and a first class connection.
The city viii be SO much the better for
this valuable acquisition to her proveTbi-
ally rapid business community. The
third member of the firm is Mr.. VIII
liam NJ. Sledge, late of Texas The gro
cery and cotton business viii be the
work of these gentlemen, in which we
predict they will do great trade. 1t
win be the first large house of the char
acter on Main street. That neighbor-
hood down there viii be the headquar-
ters of cotton and groceries after time,
if this settling up process continues.
The numbers are 81 and 3T3 Main
street.

7 81 IariesIIy Considered.

I
I The unfortunate person, Mike Ma
lowney, who was shot through the head
THURSDAY night, still lives aud fiOurishez.
The ball went straight through the head,
passing In at the back and coming out
at the forehead. About ten ounces OF
brain oozed out after 1t. Mike did not
complain much. Everyone thought he
was dead the moment he fell over, after
receiving the shot, and when everyone
found he was stu living, the confident
expectation was indulged that he would
die In five minutes, but he didn't. he
lived ten minutes and appeared to be
better. 1t was announced that he was
still living an hour after the very fatal
shot. At two O'Clock that night It was
considered q sort OF miracle that he was
still breathing. Finally it became COM
mon TO hear people say that be was
alive, the oddity Of the thing wore out,
and folks began to think 1t might not be
such a wonder after all to see men live
who were shot through the head.
The brain, the heart, and the lungs
ere called the tripod Of life. Many
persons who have been shot In the lungs
have recovered, and il is a matter of
record that ram-rod was shot through
q soldiers head at the battle Of Perry
vile without producing any but a slight
inconvenience. This person was thought
not TO have his brains in the proper
place. 1t was said that If he had been
Shot in the stomach in that way, he
would certainly die. The recovery Of
Mr.. MaIowny cannot be accounted for
on any such hypothesis. He has shown
that his brains were inside his skull,
because ne said he would note for Jack
Doyle. Moreover, yesterday, when he
recovered from his stupOr, a friend
asked him how he felt, he answered,
pretty rough, Pm as hungry as hi;
let me have some milk with a stick in
it." If that is not sound { st Of brains,
what can be. That was the language of
a man of extraordinary good sense and
vigorous understanding. He is type Of
the Democracy. Neither bullets nor
battie-axes, nor fine speeches can kill it.
After every severe trial they come back
naturally to their milk, with stick in
it, and won't have any Tom Foley por-
ridge nor Curry sulphur-water IN theirs.
For ten years and a-halfall the bad men
in the county have been trying to kill
the Democrats. This last diabolical at
tempt, like the others, will prove fall
ure. Nike Malovney says he has brains
enough left to do two reasonable men,
and he viii be strong enough in week
to whip any man in the county. In this
he is like our friend Jack Doyle, who,
though he has not the support of few
renegade, no-account Democrats, has yet
strength enough TO whip any man in the
county.

Jeatsaea street Produces a CbsFaeteF.
fsfie Sensation.

Yesterday the people Of jefferson street
were in eestaeies for the space Of half an
hour. The curious strip of crinoline
which Is stretched across the street from
the @. G.. to G. B, with the word
''Union" printed upon it, got turned up
side down. 30 that none but a very let
tered person could read it. Two colored
women who had come to town on sort
OF spree, one intensely black and the
other inclined to be fair, but both well
ehignoned and bumped, got under the
queer barber's cloth and had a dispute
about II. One said il meant washing
done hePe,n the other insisted il meant
"dry nurse" The dispute grew loud
and angry, and q fight was inRugurated.
The first damage done was the scatter
ing of the chignons to the winds. A
crowd gathered and formed a ring, all
bent on seeing fair play and keeping out
the police. The boys from the windows
of the q. q. took sides in the fight and
named their respective favorites
Grant and Greeley. When the
menced 70 fly. The excitement was
great and betting was commenced.
The saddle-bag faced one was Greeley,
etAtNA e4AC kfON-tsAeACA HEAS0A vas NA4uI.
The humps were demolished, the flaps
of their noses went of in successive
bites, and finally they were reduced to a
state of ante-spple inRocense and nu-
dity. The whitish one dug her nails into
the left breast Of her black antagonist,
and pulled away half her paps- The
sanguinaFy flow of hfe-stream was ter
rife. The boys up in the windows
yelled and shouted until the building
shook, and the crowd was in state Of
utter decentralization. There was very
little left Of either party, and not shred
OF their costly finery that was not seat
tered about the street or trampled under
foot before the police could break the
circle of excited but depraved humanity
that witnessed the fight. All acknow1-
edged that saddle-bags came out best in
the fight, though she lost chignon that
cost ten cents more than the other one,
besides she had piece of her left ear
missing, as wen as the two flaps of her
nose. 1t was the most exciting time in
Memphis in four years. II .E-.s.

EDITORS APPEAL - Colonel Tom
Scott says he will so manage his

not in the interest of rings. Then
cotton win be transported from Mem
phis without the expensive process of
repressing and redraying, to which the
producers are now subjected, as eheaply
as with this costly process; or, if this
cannot be, then the interior towns, like
Grenada, and even the plantations, will
be allowed the standardization In freight
after composing now conceded to
Memphis and other favored towns. At
this time, and heretofore, the railroad
charged seven dollars and fifty cents per
bale mot seven dollars and
cents, as you published), from Grenada
to New York; while only four dollars per
compressed bale is charged from Mobile
6y railroad (which you omitted In said
article. What's the matter? Which
is right? We ask the railroads to an
sweF. Either the interior towns, or, If
practicable, the plantations, must be al
lowed the profit of compression, or the
cities. We again call on the planters
and interior editors to give this wrong
no rest. May not Huntsville as well as
