BROWNS rROPOsITIOx.

In the publication of the proceedings
Of the general council which was made
yesterday, there appears a letter from
Mr.. r. e. Brown, directed TO Mayer
Johnson, to which we would call
special attention. Mr. Brown evinees
in this communication eommendable
spirit, and makes, what we esteem, a
very liberal proposition, looking TO an
adjustment Of the oity's Indebtedness
to him. He proposes accepting, as a
final settlement, the payment, by the
city, of fifteen thousand dollars in cash,
in lieu of the thirty-five thousand dol
lars heretofore agreed upon, and the
balance in ten-year eight per cent.
bonds of the city. He further states
that these bonds, representing some two
hundred thousand dollars, will not be
put upon the market, but will be carried
by his firm until Memphis has regained
a prosperous condition. Besides this,
The time for closing up is extended
to January l, 1874, and the
tenor Of Mr.. Browns letter is
kind, and in full sympathy with
the crippled condition of our city.
We trust the council will act responsive
to the spirit of this communication. We
must endeavor to preserve the credit of
Memphis, and the proposition Of Mr..
Brown, made in a kindly and liberal
spirit, should be accepted, if it be possi-
bic TO comply with his demands. If he
could have taken the whole amount due
him in bonds it would have been much
more desirable; but this he declares i'm
possible, and the council should strain a
point to close this matter upon the
terms submitted. AS for the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Brownie take the contract
for the construction of sewerage, accept
ing pay in city bonds, " if no one else
will do it"-we can assure him that
there are hundreds ready to take the
contract, and will be most happy to be
paid in city bonds. In one year after
Memphis has been placed on footing
Of health by this system of sewerage, her
bonds will be worth dollar for dollar in
this market.

AN OLD CITIZEN GONE.

The links that bind us to the last CEN
tury are being broken one by one. The
men who stood in the wilderness, when
the Indian was a daily foe, and before
steam and electricity lent their potency
and power in the distribution of popula-
ton and the dissemination of intelli-
gence are fast passing away, and soon,
even here in the west, there will be
none left to tell of daring adventure by
food and field, or recite thes glorious
and soul-stirring contests by which
every acre Of our soil was rescued from
barbsrism. One such was called to
his rest yesterday at his resi-
denee near Raleigh, a man who had
passed the allotted span, and who leaves
behind him honorable men and women
to perpetuate his memory-the children
who have looked to him for many, many
years as protector, guide, father aud
friend. Andrew Stewart, the father of
our friend NJ. ID. l.. Steward, passed
away at five o'clock yesterday morning,
after an illness borne with heroic fOrti-
tude. He was born in Virginia on the
twenty-seventh CT February, 178S, and
removed to this State with his father
when yet a mere boy, and located
near Nashville, when the coun-
try was in possession of the Indians,
and was a wilderness, without other
roads than the trail Of the wild man and
the blazed path of the hunter. He sub
sequently removed to Hickman county,
where he married Miss Hannah Caro-
theirs, who bore him ten children, and
lived to see them all reach maturity,
aud make for themselves settled posi-
tions in life. She died in January, 1901.
He ultimately removed from Hickman
to Madison county, near Spring Creek,
where he resided for more than twenty
years, removing to Shelby county in
January, 1851, and there has resided
ever since. Mr.. Stewart was a
man of much force OF charac-
ter, and held many offices of honor
and profit. He was the oldest living
friend of the APPEAL, having been a
subscriber from its first issue. Recog-
nizing his constancy and. devotion to
the paper, he was some years ago enter
ed upon the subscription books to re-
ceive the paper so long thereafter as he
should live, ard this obligation has been
faithfully adhered to by all the subse-
quent proprietors. A Democrat in poll
tics, he was never known to swerve
from the behests OF the party, and
voted, as have his sons, with undeviat-
ing consistency for the policies which
through that party increased the glory
and renOwn of the Union.

Citizens Murdered In LOnOke County by
NegrOes-MysteriOus Dead Body
Found in the River at
Little Rock.

LITTLE Rock, November 6.-Yester-
day two negroes, driving a two-borse
team, stole some hogs from Dock Eagle.
one of the leading farmers of LOnOke
county. On missing his hogs, Eagle, in
company with two of his kinsmen and
Mr.. James Sullivan, started in pursuit.
(0ne of the Eagles was an officer. J
About dark the party came up with the
negroes and took them in charge.
After a little struggle, the team
went on home. During the night
the two negroes escaped, and
reported in the neighborhood, which
is composed almost exclusively of ne
groes, that kuklux had attacked them.
and raised q posse Of about thirty ne
groes to go in pursuit of them. This
forenoon Eagle and his posse proceeded
in search Of the two hog thieves, when
they were suddenly confronted by an
armed body Of negroes and fred upon.
killing all three Of the Eagles and NOR
tally wounding Sullivan. On hearing
Of the affair the sheriff of Lonoke coun-
ty summoned fifty men and went ia pur-
suit OF the perpetrators of the deed. The
killing occurred near the line Of this
Pulaski county, and Lonoke, and the
coroner went down tonight to hold an
inquest over the bodies.
To-day the body Of man, commonly
known as MOrrissey, laborer on the
Cairo and Fulton railroad bridge, was
picked up in the river. The right side
OF his head was stove in, and other
marks of violence were found on his
body. The coroner held an inquest, and
the jury decided, on the evidence Of the
examining physician, that deceased was
murdered, and the body thrown in the
river about twelve Lours previous to its
being found. There is no clue to the
perpetratOr Of the deed.

THE EXPOSITION.

\ meeting Of the exposition directors
was held in the parlors of the Peabody
hotel last night, at which every one of
the members Of the board were present.
Itwas, in the language Of one present,
A "rOusing" meeting, at which there
was much said by some Of our best men
that encourages US tC believe in a great
future for the city, and that she is short
ly destined to come out Of all her difficult
ties, tribulations and misfortunes much
the better, perhaps, for their occurrence.
Applications for space have already
been received from intending exhibitors
residing in st. Louis, Cincinnati and
other cities, all of whom, it is needless
for US to say, will be doubly welcome
here in view of the conspicuous and mu-
nihcent iberality of those cities to our
stricken poor. Correspondents in
the surrounding country also an
nounce the impatience of the
people to visit Memphis and
make the occasion of the Exposi-
tion answer the double purpose Of
pleasure and sympathy. From every
quarter encouragement pours in upon
the officers and directors, and they feel
sanguine that, late as it is and short as
the time before its Inauguration, the
Exposition of 1873 will be, all things
considered, as successful as that of 1872,
Of which we were all so proud.

GENERAL HARDEE.

This distinguished soldier, so con-
spicuous during the late war as one ol
the corps commanders Of the COnfeder-
ale army, breatbed his last yesterday at
Wytheville, Virginia. To many of the
gallant Confederate soldiers now citi-
zens of Memphis, who followed him
during the four years struggle,
this viii be sad news indeed. He was
beloved by them, as he was by all who
served with him in the federal army,
with which he won renown in Mexico.
He was at one time instructor at West
Point, and was the author of a system Of
tactics in use in the federal as well as
Confe ,derate armies during the war.

WNCEEsTER, Pa, November Sat
the adjournment of the court tonight it
was evident that the case of Udderzook
was hopeless. Able counsel for the de.
fense have nothing to bring forward to
combat in a measure the awful array
against him. Mr.. Whitney left the case
on Friday. A movement is on foot to
get Jane Udderzook to advise her son to
confess all he knows and trust to the
mercy of the court. Mrs. Udderzook had
an interview with the counsel for the
insurance coinPsny, when the exact
s'ate Of affairs WAS laid before her, show
ing the light in which all parties to in
suranee and homicide cases stand, and
that the only hope her son could have
was in making clean breast of it. Her
determination may have the effect TO
bring q confession from the prisoner,
otherwise the defense viii 60 over.

1 The Board of Directors have decided TO oper
their SECOND GRAND EXPOSITION on the
eighteenth OF November to the tenth ofDecem-
Der, inclusive, in response TO the general wish
of the community, and as an earnest token Of
returning prosperity and confidence. A lib
eral expenditure of money and industry had
already prepared US TO open promptly on the
first OF October last, but the cause which
forced us 70 postpone has not only departed
but leaves a recuperatiye spirit among our
people, who desire to show our sister cities
that energy can conquer misfortune.
a large Power HALL, with boiler, engine,
shafting and pulIies, has been erected, and a
magnificent FLORAL TEMPLE, well covered
with glass roof, and arranged so as TO supply
all the artificial heat that may be necessary, is
now ready 10 receive plants and flowers; and
although the season is late and opportunity
unfavOrable, yet that department is in the
hands OF expert and competent gentlemen,
who Will make a magnificent display. A
winter flower garden is perhaps much more
pleasing spectacle than a summer one, and
we have every assurance that the entertain
ment will be unsurpassed.
An ORoHEsTRIoN has been imported at a
great expense, and will discourse a large share
Vi at III bllutS.
The whole building has been overhauled, re-
painted, newly decorated and well appointed,
with every convenience to please and enter
tain the visitors. With a view 10 the season,
arrangements will be perfected to keep the
temperature pleasant and comfortable day
and night. a MIMIC STAGE, with appropriate
scenery, has been erected, which will add to
its charms during the season. Interesting and
entertaining Tableaux, Panoramas, Concerts
and other novelties will be produced every
night.
The fine ART GALLERY will be newly fitted
up, and attract large share of attention.
In the interest of our city aud country We
appeal to the ltberality Of our friends and the
citizens of Memphis especially, for their gen.
erous patronage and hearty cooperation.
Goods will be received at any time and ar
ranged for display.
Arrangements have been made for RE-
DUCED FARE AND FREIGHT on all Railroads,
Steamboats, and Express Lines.

FRANCE,

The Versailles assembly met day before
yesterday. The message Of President
MacMahon, which we publish among OuI
dispatches, was read. 1t is not q very
strong paper, though its leaning to a
strong form Of government is clear. he
considers the government Of the assem-
bly, deficient in vitality and authority,
and contends that, though they
may have peace in France to-day,
tomorrow they may have revolution.
To cure these evils he recommends the
creation Of a strong and durable execu
tive, which can energeticslly defend So
ciety. MacMahon cannot divest himself
Of his soldierly tendencies to arbitrary
government. He evidently believes in
the divine right Of kings, and, beside the
grand and loftyistatesmsnship Of Thlere,
he seems little better than a political dan
dy. The right Justify cheered the mes
sage, and at once moved that Mac Ma
non be continued president for ten

ESTABLISHED 1910.

years. There was mach exciting debate,
and finally a vote o. urgency on the mo-
aon OF the right was sustained. From
the message and debate the fate Of
France is still an unsolved problem. A
single day may see Paris again in a
blaze of revolution. But one thing is
certain-the people in the end are bound
to win. The days of kings and the hum-
bug Of divine right went out in the
smoke Of Sedan.

THE THEATER-

Last night a fashionable audience
witnessed the presentation Of the drama
BFdtch and Wait, at the Memphis
Theater. 1t was the first night of the
season, and augurs well for the future
success of the new management. The
drGmGtis personHG who appeared last
night for the first time, won golden
opinions from an audience hard to please
in theatricals. The piece was splendidly
mounted, and was witnessed with real
pleasure by a full and joyous house.
We congratulate Messrs. Lefiingwell
and Goby on the brilliant success of
their first venture.

most Of the cases under treatment are
