JEFfERsONvILE, March 12--The
storming by prayers and hymns was re-
newed at John Stiles saloon at 5 o'clock
this morning; the crusaders taking chairs
with them and remaining for two hours and
a half in front of the saloon. During the
service Mrs. Stiles was ringing an auction
bell violently for by-standers to come in
and drink. Several responded, while
others were content with hurling epithets
on them. This evening they were beseig-
ING Bader's saloon, accompanied by large
crowd of excited people. At this place
one arrest was made by the police and a
revolver and club captured. Legal steps
are to be taken by the saloons keepers to
prevent the crusaders from blocking up the
pavement.

The Candy Family.

1t is perhaps not generally known that
Gen. Candy, who was murdered by the
Modoc Indians, in Oregon, owned farm
within few miles of this city, that he
was preparing for the future residence of
himself and family after the wars were
oveI. His brother, Charles Candy, Esq.
owned farm adjoining that of the gen
era. and lived on it, together with his
family The widow OF Mr. Candy. de.
ceased, another brother Of the general,
also lived in the same cighborho rood, and
also sister named Buclah Miss Candy,
daughter of tho widow and niece of the
general, recently inter married with one
Tip Finley, and in due season gave prom.
Use of an increase in the family. Strange
TO tell, her husband discovered this fact,
became enraged, and persistenty threat
ened to kill his wife if she ever became q
mother. On Monday last the little
stranger introduced itself, and true to
his villainous purpose, the monster ap.
preached the door OF her chamber, and
throwing it wide open, stood, and with
loaded pistol blew his brains out in
her presence. The retributions Of etern.
ity will adjust these matters with all such
characters.
Mr.. Charles Candy and his sister, Miss
Beulah lady Of fine intelligence, went
to Indiana to attend the funeral of the
general, their deceased brother She
was stricken down under the weight Of
aer bereavement, seriously threatened
with the entire overthrow Of her reason,
and has, after painful season of trouble
and affection for many months. recently
reached her home, to find that the broth.

melancholy mission, had since his return
entirely lost his intellect and died Of .
broken heart. Sorrow and sadness is the

What the Cubans Say.

"HAvANA, Dec. 3l-The Voce and
Diario are bitter in their comments on
the sinking of the Virginius and the re-
lease Of the prisoners. They charge that
the government sunk the Virginius in or.
der not to be compelled to deliver her to
Spain, and is guilty Of perlidy in releas
ing the survivors.
The former paper says: For the
great wrongs ofthe Spanish nation terri
bic atonements are reserved, and their
hour will come.
This is what we get for eating that
"peck of dirt" otherwise known as the
Fish Polo protocol. Had the govern.
meut sternly insisted upon prompt and
ample atonement for Burriers butchery,
these Cubans would have respected us
now, when we have ignored the claims
Of our slain countrymen, and then sunk
the Virginius in order to avoid meeting
the issue fairly in an admiralty court,
they despise us-and have a right to de.
spise us.
The sinking Of a vessel which, if the
attorney generals decision is right, did
not belong to the United States but was
lawful prize of Spain, is a thoroughly
cowardly and contemplate performance,
and one utterly unworthy a great nation.
The Virg.nius might and should have
been brought into New York, and that
she was not simply proves the admins
tration to be in such desperate condi-
ton from the effects of it's own blunders
that it is ready to creep out of the small.
est hole And that the Virginius was
allowed to sink is as clear to our minds
as that the sinking Of the coal barge in
front OF the Spanish war steamer at the
Brooklyn dry docks was intentional
Bot were accldents--done on purpose. -

OUR SPANISH COMPLICATIONS.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.
The cable dispatches of yesterday mis-
led verybody here by attributing the re.
yolutionary movement OF Gen Payia to
the influence Of CASTELAR,. 1t transpires
to-dayt both by press and official dis
patches, that the movement was an over.
throw of CASTELAR, as well as of the cortes,
and in the interest Of SerranO. Thus,
the possibilities foreshadowed in your
dispatches published January l, have
been partially fulfilled, and there is the
best foundation for reterating all that
was set fourth therein concerning the ef
feet of Serrano's accession TO power up.
on the relations between Spain and the
United States 1t is now believed here,
that Serrano will soon be succeeded by q
restoration of the monarchy, doubtless,
with Don Alfonso on the throne. In
either case there is likely to be an entire
change in the Cuban policy of the Span.

COED estates and slavery, together with

Ex SENATOR PoMERoY FoRFEITs HIS BAIL.

The case OF the State vs.. Pomeroy for

county court here this morning The
defendant was not present, and his cOun-
sci filed an affidavit for another continu.
ance of the case, and argued the justice
of the order 10y the court at length The
counsel for the State moved forfeiture
Of the defendants bail of $40, 1000, and
this was done with the understanding that
if the defendant appears in time for tri
al during this month the order for for
ieiture vii, be recinded This is in ac-
cordancc with the general impression
among the commHnity that Pomcroy will
never be trcd But it leaves him in a bad
way, rs the forfeiture Of his bail only
puts hlm IN he condition of a criminal
at large without bail, and liable tc rcqui-
s,iou always and arrest ut any moment
Pomcroy had reason probably to expect

done at any time in the future, leaves him
$4,000 poorer. with the dead certainty
that the indictment against him is a true
bill and thai York $ story WAS entirely

HARD ON MEMPHIS The Austin, Miss.
Cotton Plant makes some very damaging
charges against the cotton factors of
Memphis, or some OF them at least,
which seems to have aroused the indigna
ton Of the planters to such an extent that
a cooperative effort is to Ne made to
transfer their trade TO St Louis. The
following is an extract from one of the
articles in Ike Cotton Plant on the sub
ject:
We give here few of the complain S
which have been laid before us, and we
vouch for their truth; and if Memphis
men or bottom men wantle know names
we are prepared to give them:
Case No. IA gentleman shipped a
lot of cotton to Memphis early in the
season, when cotton was worth II cents,
with instructions to sell at once He
drew some money on the shipment, and
supposed that the cotton was sold and
when cotton went down to IL cents, the
merchant advised him of sale "on the
dip and that the cotton did not pay his
account by considerable amount.
Case No. "A party shipped lot of
cotton, when it was down at II cents,
writing letter Of instructions, directing
the merchant to hold for rise, and the
merchant acknowledged receipt of the
cotton, and the Instructions to hold for a
rise; cotton went up Immediately from
about II cents to l6 cents, and the mer.
chant sends account sales at | | cents, or
Whereabouts, stating that she had sold
the cotton before he received the instruc.
tions to hold for a rise" ...
The old name for this sort of transac.
ton was stealing, and we insist that no
better name can be given it. There is
no doubt Of the fact that many Of our
commission merchants of Memphis are
spectators. They receive a lot of cot.
ton, hold it for one or two weeks, il cot
ton advances, the returns show sale on
arrival when Gotten was low. If cotton
declines, sales show the lowest figure in
the declne-sod on the DIPS the
proper expression, and the merchants of
Memphis should have printed on account
Of sales, 5 O ID, We intend to show UP
these infamous practices, and to expose
those who are constantly taking advan.
tage OF our people to rob and wrong
them out Of their hard earnings. There
Is no money in cotton FOR the producer
but untold wealth for the Memphis spec
ulsting commission merchants There
is money in cotton, If justice is done by
the merchants, and the cry that " there is
no money in cotton is peculiar to that
scope of country that ships to Memphis.
Quit it,
In republishing this article the Mem
phis Appeal call, upon the cotton cx.
change of that city TO investigate these
grave charges and bring the offenders to
justice.
