LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Oar Markets and the Street PeddIeTs
| EDITORS a Notwithstanding to the
reported proceedings of the city council,
| the petition OF the butchers and mar
ketmen of north and south markets in
| relation to continuing the morning mar
! Sets during the winter months from
! four O'Clock in the morning to twelve
o'clock noon has been granted. This
we consider an important point toward
sustaining the markets, and one that
will result beneficially to the city treas
ury. Another point is part of the Pc
tiion in relation to street peddling. If
the laws shall be strictly enforced in
reference to this, Memphis can then
boast Of the pest markets south OF st.
Louis, for then the stalls in both mar
kets will be filed with the products of
our own gardens, and also be supplied
with everything in season from up the
river and from New Orleans.
BAILEY, NORTH MARKET.
Keep ihe Exposition Open.
EDITORS APPEAL-Having heard
several of my lady acquaintance ex-
press desire that our Memphis Expo
sitiOn remain open until the fifteenth of
December an extension of one months
time), l have told great many Of my
friends that l intended asking you by
letter to use your influence in the mat !
ter, feeling assured that if your valuable !
family paper, together with the aid Of
the other city papers, would speak in |
favor of such an extension OF time, 1t |
would be readily acceded to. myself
have visited the Exposition seven times, |
and know OF many othels who have |
been there as often. | would like to go
as msny times more, and will if the |
directors or managers will comply
with the request Of myself and friends. |
am sure that if the managers would /
extend the time they would profit
greatly thereby, as there are hundreds
of our citizens who have not been able
to go as yet, and vino are willing and
wish very much to attend. Hoping
that you will use your best endeavor
to cause an extension of time, and that
L am not asking too much Of you, l
am yours respectfully,
MRS. NJ. Z. L. ROBERTSON.
MEMPHIS, November Il. 1874.
MRS. MILLER.
EDITORS APPEAL-I observe an arti-
Gle with sensational heading in your
paper this morning, purportlng to be an
expose of juggler. L received marked
copy Of the same paper yesterday from
which you copied. l know nothing of
the guilt or innocence Of Mrs. Miller, :
nor have seen her or her husband for
about six months. No one. l think, is
willing to go further than myself to de- /
tect, expose, and even see punished for, I
mpOsture. Yet I also adopt the motto:
Let justice be done, though the hsav- t
ems fall" Whatever Mrs. Miller may
have done, or attempted to do, on that
occasion, l, of course, know nothing. /
cannot, however, believe that ''she is
amply tolerable sieight-of-hand per- a
Ormer." Let US examine into this mat q
-er. have you and l, with hundreds of 4
others, been deceived by this simple +
woman from Arkansas? No, sir; we G
nave not been thus deiuded. Turn to s
ne Mes OF your paper, and you will see l.
notices Of her-the first by your
ocal editor, and then by yourself I
rave before me an article written at the
equest OF the editors of the Memphis
DAILY Register, by myself, in which l
make an extract from your report of one fl
II her Sednces, with some suggestions I b
make in regard to investigators. / un-

low propose to the public through your U
'aper, without consulting with auy one.
