Commodore Brady. from the judges steamer, aiter
giving the customary caution sent the 1TSss o
Blake, OF the Atalantas, and Roach, OF the
Gramercies, very little slower: Then came am.
making their start almost at the same moment.
WILSON'S quick, nervous stroke shot MS ooat
SIDE OF "im and Blake on the other to hurry up.
Before Yates had been rowing ior more than two
minutes he stopped and rested on his oars Some
seconds later determined 1t, as he was seen turn
ing mis- boat around and pulling for the shore
slowly. evidently not willing to continue in the
race. One man less to row Or the State cham
pionshp now. Curtis did not appear to be pulling
with his usual vtg0r and vim, and COurtenay, who
had slight lead on him, was holding
him very easily. Suddenly, Curtis stopped rowing,
and, Initiating the example OF Yates, he also got
out or the contest. Both these men were to row
in the double scull race. which followed immedi-
ateiy atter and possibly the tear OF being too hard
worked in this race caused them to pull out OF this
in order to be fresh for the other. The race
now lay between COurtenay, Wilson, Roach
and Blake. Wilson had the lead aud was
rowing rapid stroke and doing 1t well, with
Courtenay next to him. Now that Curtis and
Yates were away COurtenay settled down to his
work and In q few seconds drew his boat even
with Wilson ana then passed him. He was pulling
about thirty-three strokes and doing well and
clean. Wilson made one or two vigorous attempts
to catch him but 1t was OF no avail, for Courtenay
ing gait which u characteristic OF his
style was fast making the gap between him and
MS Albany competitor wider and wider. Before
the first half mile was rowed he had shaken all the
contestants off, Roach was working hard for
second place, now that the Athletic men were out,
reached, he had crept up on Wilson and passed
HIM. Courtenay was first round in 6m. ass,
Wilson, in 7m., and Blake turned last.
The race home was comparatively unin-
teresting, from the fact that Courtenay
he had sucn q clear lead on all the others that
nothing but accident could keep him from win
ming. Roach was pulling good race and was
keeping good clear water between himself and
Wilson all the way home. Blake, who was unlor-
tunate in getting the wash OF the steamboat,
SO strokes, came in the winner easily in l4m 4ls..
followed by Roach second and Wilson third. The
following IS the order the men came In and time
made by them:-

made splendid start and got away finely, followed
quickly by the Athletics and BeaverwycKs. For the
first quarter OF mile the boats Kept close COM
pany, when Yates, in the Athletic boat, caught q
crab, which caused him to lose couple or Okes.
The time thus lost was quicSly made up, as curtis
ran his stroke up to thirty-eight and made gap
of couple OF boats lengths between his boat and

tons 12 to 8.
The Chelseas, OF Boston, yesterday played the
Arlingtons, OF this city, on the Union Grounds
and won the game by the totals OF IL to s..
The contest opened well, and bid fair to be
close and exciting, the score at the close OF
the third inning standing two each. In
the fourth inning however the visitors batted
TITUS heavily and, assisted by numerous
errors on the Arlington side, scored four runs
They repeated this in the fifth inning, and
then the Arllngtons very wisely put Mr.. Biodgett
IN to pitch and sent Titus out in the field. This
change was exceedingly beneficial, for the Chel.
seas faied 10 bat well from this time to the close
OF the game. Indeed. several OF them struck
out after Blodgett began pitching, and from
TINS 1t Is evident that the score would have been
quite different had Titus not pitched at all.
Neither side did themselves Justice In the 1eid,
errors being OF very frequent occurrence.

indictment in tire Federal Court for
ukluNirg and the state courts for the
murder OF James Walker.
On Saturday a large number Of men
rode into Monterey headed 10y George
y. Meflurd, who has been tried for a
EukuN, and was concerned in the
murder OF James Walker.
When Russell and his men saw Mef-
ford, they fired into the squad, regard
ing Ii a. mob under the cloak Of
State authority. who wished to disarm
him and murder him rs his brother
had been murdered 10y the Lock port
khan. II the County Attorney, j. w.
Perry. bad come into town by himself,
or guarded 10y others than those ac-
companying him, the Trial would have
passed Off quietly, and Russell aud his
men would have been cleared on suf-
ficient proof that they were in the
right. The County Attorney brought
to Monterey, the home Of the surviv-
ing Walkers, men who were regarded
as kuklux, among them being MeffOrd,
who was concerned in the murder of
J. NJ. Walker. on the 4th Of May. This
fact caused all the difficulty.
Since hat time Russell was pursl
by bad characters from the fact that
John c. Smuot. who was under indlct-
meur for the murder of James Walker,
was in the party. The militia who
were called out 10y Governor Leslie on
sunday last, and who are now support
ing the county authorities near GratZ,
have large number oc citizens with
them for guides, whom Russell aud ui-
friends suspect Of an intention to use
foul play. If General Murray with his
United States troops arrives in time to
prevent actual conflict, there will be
no further trouble, as Russell and his
party do not fear fair trial.
1t is said that during recent canvass
Mr.. Perry, the County Attorney, upon
whose request the militia is furnished,
charged his opponent, VIM. Lindsay,
with taking sides against the Shoots.
A the time Of the Walker murder, the
Shoots refused to be arrested, and Mr..
Perry did not exert himself to bring
the parties to justice.
The above are the words of the gen
tleman from Owen, as taken down 10y

From the Union and Americana

From the Union and American.l
The remains of Julia Hayden, the
colored school teacher, who was shot
and killed last Saturday morning near
Huntsville, passed through the city
yesterday, in charge of her brother and
brother-in law, en- route for Spring
Hill, where the girl was raised. We
understand the facts in relation to the
affair to be as follows:
Julia Hayden was about eighteen
years of age, was bright, intelligent
girl, who was educated at the Tennes-
see Central College in this city, and
was given "a school near Hartsville
through the influence of Prof. Hayden,
who speaks Of her in the highest terms
She took charge Of the school four
weeks ago to-day, boarding with the
family OF Pink Lowe, cOlored ferry
man.
At two O'Clock last saturday morn

DEMOCRATS OPINION OF THE
NASHVILLE CONVENTION.
Tho Platform Struggled Through
wtIh0uI Discussion.

\ special dispatch to the Memphis
AUaidHche o. Thursday morning,
says
The convention in personnel and in
numbers was the largest ever assem-
bled in RepreseuJativ Hall. The sin
gulariy inauspiciOus feature was the
vo,UmiuOus speech Of Hon. Gustavus
\. Henry, Of GAINESVILLE. 1t was en-
tive'y irrelevant, and smelt of the
funding ring. HIS passionate discus
sion OF Federal politics was devoid Of
good sense, and ui- fourteen years Of
pOiitica' u8TreuueSs was exhibited
without q single flower or sprig Of
yerdurp, which was devoted to an
apology f0rbeiug Wing, and through
out he ocoupied the status Of one
Whose ositiOu was in conflict with
his intention.
The platform -uljOined s. smart and
humanity, redeemed with only one
clear-cut seuteHce-OppOsing the in
crease of taxation.
Resolutions of certificate 81 good
cuaracter for Gov. Brown We're passed
by doubtful majority,
The platform was rushed, or snug
gled through, discussion being avoid
ed with something like the horror of a
guilty conscience. The hlgh-ta& par
/ ~ failed, but the low tax members
/ were timid The platform was re-
/ ported and speeches were made
/ by General Bate and John +.
House Bate was bold enough TO
say that everyone who opposes the De-
mOcraey Of Tennessee we will trample
under foot, and House wisely said that
a party divided in its counsels ought
not 10 aspire To control the destiny OF
the country. Bate did not define his
/ Democracy, but | suppose it means his
election as United States Senator.
From the first speech Of Judge Van
Dyke 10 the last made by
House, there was not a solitary
speech of national sentiments OF
broad views Of sympathy with
the body of the people. The narrow
/ ness of the platform was anticipated
by the speeches, and an elevated poll
teal tone, purifying public conscience
and simplicity in official life wert
wanting from first to last. Yet TIT
| Convention was not failure in ability
= but the old manipulators were to-
2 adroit, and suppressed more than hal
+ the truth.

THE KUKLUX IN KENTUCKY
a Clear statement Of the OwenCOunty
Trouble.
louisville Courier-Journal, 18th.


a gentleman from Owen county
called at the COUrierJOurHai office last
night and made statement OF the
affair from its incipiency to the pres
emf. He said the present difficulty
was simply an outbreak of the Ku-
klux party. On election day United
States witness, Henry Triplett, was
fired on from the bushes near Monte
rev, by one Green Barr, a member Of
the KukluX Khan. The shots were
returned by Triplett and two of his
friends. Barr went TO OwentOn and
SwOre out writs against Willis Russell
Billy Graves, James Russell and John
Wilson. Neither Willis Russell nor
Billy Graves were concerned in the
shooting. Some of the leading citizens
Of Monterey published "A card in the
owen Nclrs, showing that Russell was
nos engaged ina the shooting. Two
deputy sheriff. called ON Russell on
last Thursday week, and Russell sur
rendered himself and his guards, and
requested the sheriff not 10 let the
writs 20 out of his possession. Russell
and his men We're perfectly willing to
stand the trial, from the fac, tuar tuev
claimed he could prove by twenty
good citizens that Barr fired the first
two shots Wednesday.
On last Wednesday, Russell sent his
brother William anu Monroe ChristO-
pher into Henry county for the pur-
pose of locating some kukluX against
whom he had wriUs. They went to
Lockport, where they bad remained
but a few minutes when they were sur
rounded by "A band Of desprradoes,
headed by James HOskins, a kukluX,
who is under bond at the Federal
Court. HOskins swOre out writ
against Russell and Christopher to
compel them to surrender their arms.
After Christopher had surrendered, lie
was shot through the bowels and NOR
tally wounded. Russell had his skull
broken by the father of the notorious
John Oman. The wounded men were
then taken to Gratz by some Of their
friends.
On Friday, HOskins and his friends
were to have their examining trial at
Lockport Russell and six guards
went to LockpOrt to attend the trial
He was advised 10y his friends To gel
back to owen as quick as possible be
fore the opposing party got to town
lest they would be murdered. De
took the advice of his friends and wen
to Gratz, where he remained with hi
brother until Friday night, when HI
returned to Monterey, where he had t
attend his trial on Saturday.
The Shoots and Barr had been to
gether on Cedar creek, "A few days be
