ducing Smith to get out, rode away.
Clay then started back, and as he ap-
preached the wagon the younger Smith
attacked him, and the older one left
Casey, and taking out a standard from
the wagon, came running up, cursing
and threatening to kill Clay. AT this
jnDcture Clay pulled out poeket-knife
with long, heavy blade to defend him
self, which be did, cutting and driving
off both his assailants.

From the jackson Wbig and Tribune.
On Friday of last week, after we went
to press, twenty negro men, charged
with the lynching Of William Hamilton
Wyatt, were arrested and brought to
this city by a large guard of citizens and
lodged in jail. They had q preliminary
trial on Monday, and but four Of them
were admitted to bail in the sum Of five
hundred dollars eaeh-Joe Rice, Monroe
Ethridge, Nathan Fain and Charles
Reid, were the four denied bail. Nine
of those admitted to bail gave the same
and were discharged. The murder of
Wyatt was one of the most brutal ever
recorded in the bloody book Of crime.
The story about Wyatt's having out
ragged an old negro woman is false. The
woman whom il is charged he had
violated lives on the farm of William
Manly, and utterly denies the whole
story, so far as she is concerned.

watching passed the quiet hours in

and Dave Lavender got up a wrestling
match, which did not result satisfactory
". Somebody, to settle the matter au-
thortatively, proposed to bet ten dollars
that John Barbee or some one else,
naming him, could throw Dave Laven-
DER. We don't like to say whether the
money was put up or not, for fear the
grand Jary might Investigate it. Any
now, the wrestling came of, and it
was claimed that Lavender was
thrown. Lavender disputed it, and
gave Baroee the did lie. Barbee made
at him with his clenched 6st, when his
way was blockaded by q number of
gtlstenlng knives in the hands of other
members OF the Lavender family. Bar
bee went back into his house and got a
double-barreled shotgun, came to the
door, and, one report is, fired into the
crowd, wounding several, more or less !:
another, that he only shot Dave Laven,

FRIDAY, Aug 1-P. NJ.
The month opens with very small trade at the
Stock Exchange lessened no doubt by the departure
TO cooler regions Of many prominent operators in
consequence Of the intensely hot and uncomfortable
weather. The sale of railway and miscellaneous
shares was very limited. but the market, though
quiet, was firm, with the exception of Northwest
Common and Pacific Mail. The latter declined
from SO to 81, aided no doubt by the fact
that an attachment had been issued against one or
two of the steamers of the line for non-payment Of
taxes alleged to be due to the city. An account of
the proceedings in the will be found in The
TRIBUNE elsewhere. Northwest common declined
from co. to Ca but rallied to 6Sa, at which it
closed. Harlem rose from l33 TO 1885,, and Canton
from 101 to 102. There was a fair business in
some of the other shares, notably Western Union
Telegraph, which opened at 92. and with heavy
sales considering the dizziness of the day, declined
to 9s, and finally closed at the opening figure, e2
There was quite lively trade in st. Paul Common
ut 5S052,. Erie, Lake Shore, New-York Central
and Onion Pacific each declined on small transac-
tons. investment stocks were dull, and the misce
laneous list was without special feature. The fol-
lowing were the opening, highest, lowest and clos
inc nrices of active stocks sold to-day:

the nominal rates, which are as follows:

The money market was If anything, easier than
on previous days Of the week The bulk of business
was at and 81 per cent. Discounts are unchanged.
There was o small business in Government bonds
at lower range of prices, in sympathy with the de-

TO-DAY. Consols and American securities were re-
norted firm. The Bank of England gained on bal
apce e2s5, 900 sterling The gold speculation here
was weak early in the day. when the price declined
from 1159 to 49,. but the market closed up firm at
ll5s0115I. The market was perhaps effected by the
ruInor that the Government intend to sell from
S6,OOOOOO to SSO0OOC0 during the present month;
but some gentlemen who think they understand the
condition of the Treasury raised the question as to
where the Treasury would obtain the coin to de-
liver. The rates on gold loans ranged
from per cent for carrying TO fiat. The

Nor READY TO DIE-The following is no
fabrication of an irreverent secular journal,
but from the orthodox Memphis Presbyterian !:
Travelling in his buggy alone, not long ago,
in going to one of his appointments, one Of our
good brethren in the Presbytery of Memphis
overlook foot pad,' with his carpet-bag in
his hand. With the politeness for which he is
noted, he asked the pedestrian ian entire stran-
GER if he would not take seat in the buggy
until, at least, they had crossed the mud and
mire. The invitation was readily accepted,
and the conversation for time was free and
easy, about things ordinary and general. Pres
emily, however, the good brother, with view
to make the conversation profitable, asked the
stranger IF he was ready to die Not knowing
the character Of the person who had invited
him to seat with him, and misapprehending
his meaning and suspecting foul play, he wait
ed not to reply, but. sprang from the buggy
Immediately and run for life through slush
and water. The clerical brother, wishing to
assure the stranger that he meant no harm,
called to him at the top of his voice to stop
But this only hastened his speed, and, like a
scared hare, he ran until beyond hearing and
sight. In his .hs.sty flight he left his carpet
sack, which our brother now has in his posses
sion, being the richer for his faithfulness by
the addition of course shirt, pair of thread
bare trousers, and little 'backer.'"

this so?". To. which he replied -I believe this
to have been true; the people of the South
generally approved of my speech, because they
believed that had beer defending in it their
own local interests and honor, Gen. Jackson
admired it because he thought that had sue
cessfelly vindicated the Democratic cause, to
the; supp ort Of which his own life had been de-
voted. But you know that in few months
had developed its gigantic proportions, and af-
ter the memorable contest had occurred in the
Senate between Mr.. Calhoun and my ancient
antagonist, Mr.. Webster, Gen. Jackson became
so great an admirer of the Senator from Massa-
chusetts that he Thought seriously of making
him Chief Justice of the Supreme Court OF the
United States upon the decease of the venera,-
Bile Marshall. -, BE assured, sir,". continued,
"f never for one moment have thought OF COM
pairing that speech of mine, made in direct as
sailment of Mr. Webster and the old Federal
party of old, and to the defence of which had
thought proper to challenge him, to his great
and une9ualled speech in reply thereto; though
it is certain. that for day or two it. seemed by
many that had come off victor in the contest" !"

DEATH OF A NOTED MAN.-George N. San
dets died at his residence in New York recent
ly, of heart. disease, in the 62nd year of his
age. Mr.. Sanders was born in Lexington, KY,
February 81, 1872. His grandfather, Colonel
George Nicholas, ,Eor whom he was named, is
known as the proposer of the Kentucky resolu-
tions and the adoption by Virginia Of the
Federal Constitution against the opposition of
Patrick Henry. His father, Lewis Sanders,
was man of much repute in the West. Mr.
Sanders's own entrance to political life was at
the organization of the first mass-meeting in
favor of the annexation of Texas. He was
Consul at London under Pierce, and Navy
Agent at New York under Buchanan. When
Douglas was Presidential candidate Mr.. San
ders was his strong adherent and friend. His
sympathies and efforts were for the South all
through the war, and near its close he, with
Horace Greeley, attempted to bring about
those peace negotiations,at Niagara which Mr..
Lincoln avoided. Since that time Mr.. Sanders
has been out of active political life. He was
widely known, and gained by his generous dis
position and social character many personal
friends among his most direct political oppo-
nents.
