THE BLOODY kNIFE.-Saturday night
number of men were standing at the corner
Of Dauphine and Union streets, excitedly
discussing the Republican ward election at
the seventh ward poll. Among the men
were Louis Enrique, A. Dupart, George
Williams, John Alliston and A. j. Octier.
During the controversy Allen Harris, a one
armed man, stepped up and inquired what
was the matter. The answer he received
was somewhat more emphatic than polite,
and on the instant there was scrimmage,
blows dealt right and left. Before the
trouble ended Harris was stabbed in his
right side. He cried out that he was cut
and ran across the street and fell, half dead.
A surgeon attended to him Immediately
afterward, when it was discovered that
the wound was fatal one. The knife had
been driven in with such force that one of
the ribs was broken. Harris died Sunday
morning at his home on Frenchmen near
Dauphine street, when the coroner was no.
titled. An autopsy was held, but the inquest
will not be held until to-day. AS there ex-
isted belief that A. Dupart had done the
stabbing he was arrested. He asserts that
the part he took in the affair was altogether
in self-defense. Coroner IGrayer will prob
ably obtain the truth from witnesses to-day.

Gov. Brown,s Letter.

The able, practical, earnest and care
fully-prepared letter of Governor John
G. Brown, published in the Appeal on
Sunday last, has been most favorably
received by the public. The business
men of Memphis who called upon Gov.
Brown for his views, and to whom this
letter was addressed, express their graf
ification and satisfaction at the financial
condition of the State, as represented by
the chief executive. The letter of Gov,
Brown is instructive, as it explains with
admirable clearness, distinctness and
perfect candOr, what the people desire to
knoW-the true condition of the indebt-
edness of the State-infOrmatiOn which
the executive alone could furnish. In
behalf of the people of Memphis we
thank Gov. Brown for his timely letter,
so ably prepared, and so full and COM
plete in facts which the people should
know, as they deeply concern them pc
cuniarily. Moreover, this desire on the
part of the people for information is
commendable. 1t shows that they are
vigilant, which is essential to an honest
and economical administration of the
State government. When they are
watchtul and solicit information, there
need be no fear of corruption in office,
and il is the bounden duty of an official,
a servant of the people, TO furnish infor-
nation when respectfully solicited by
his constituents. 1t is by such letters
as GOV. Brown has just written that the
policy of the State and country is shaped,
and their destiny fixed. 1t is a favora-
able sign TO see the people soliciting in
formation and argument. Let each pub
lie man, whether in office or seeking Of
fee, bring to the common store his
thoughts, and from them the people can
Judge as TO the safest policy. Andrew
johnson and Col. John $. Kerr have
frequently given their views as 20 the
financial condition of the State, and
have received the commentator of
those who favor or concur with them,
and we see no reason why Gov. Brown
should not be allowed the same liberty.

me with your suffrage in the late cleo

never have cause to regret your choice.

best men of the county, and this evil
dence of yOur Partially is a source of

DRY lasts.
am well apprised that many person.
al friends of mine conceived it to be
their duty to oppose me from the pecu-
liar circumstances under which l was
placed; and whose right to such an
opinion l have never for a moment
questioned, as l deem it not only priv
ilege, but sacred duty of every one to
arrive at their own conclusions in such
matters.
1t is true that many disreputable ru-
moTs were circulated with view to nv

Legitimate results of my being a candi-

1t unnecessary to say anything in refu-

of the county as to whether my devotion
to the interests of our people can be

As to those who voted against me, l
harbor no ill-will, but consider they did
but right to follow their own convictions

surfing one and all, that if industry and

Response of Hon. T. NJ. Jones

EDITOR CITIZEN-1n response TO
communication which recently appear
ed in your paper over the signature of
"Many Voters, and in reply to the
question frequently asked me, 1 desire
to state that l am not a candidate for
Congress and have no aspirations for
Congressional honOrs.
The Convention, when it meets at
Columbia, will have the right to select,
either from the distinguished names al
ready presented, or from those not yet
brought before the public, their nomi-
nee and no one worthy to be member
of Congress will hesitate to accept the
hOnors. 1 trust the Convention will be
composed of our best citizens, and they
will meet together determined, upon the
altar of their cOuntry's good, to sacri-
fee all private partialities and personal
preferences.
When the l.te war closed, our fields
were desolated, our beautiful homes de-
strOyed, our private fortunes wrecked,
ana our public credit almost ruined.
In fact, almost everything was lost ex-
cept our honor, which had been saved
by the gallantry and herOism of our
noble youth, who sleep in distant fields,
and their brave comrades who survived
the terrible ordeal of battle.
But when New England beholds the
fortitude and energies of great people
struggling to restore our wasted fields,
again to beautify and adorn those dear
homes, to rebuild the burned cities and
towns, to resuscitate our public credit
and re-establish our institutions of
! learning, she brings forward her Civil
Rights Bill, not to benefit the colored
people, but to degrade the white pOpu-
| latiOn. She well knows the ''irrepress-
/ ibie conflict" which it will produce,
but what does she care for that, so she
profits by it? Suppose we sweep from
| the statutes our common school system.
1t would but afford them a pTeteXt to
pass one by Congress, and another
| horde of thieves and carpet baggers
would be sent down to teach our public
schools, to collect the school tax, and to
rule and plumber us.
| If let alone, our relations with the
colored people would be peaceful and
pleasant, and to our mutual advantage.
! There is not an honorable white man
in the South who would wrong or Op-
press the cOlored population-nO one
who is not ready at all times to assist,
protect and defend them, and all we
ask is to let us live in peace. But the
| issue is upon us, and we must meet 1t,
and whatever position my friends may
| assign me, will try to do my duty.

EB- Now that the county election is
over it is important that we begin tc
look about us for men to represent us in
the next Legislature. Already we have
announced one candidate to represent
Giles, subject to convention of the
conservative people, another is called
upon to run for Floater, and a third must
urge too strongly upon our people the
Importance of selecting able, reliable,
representative men for these positions.
The next Legislature will be called upon
to do some very important work, besides
the election of Brownlow's successor in
the u. S. Senate. A strong effort will
be made by demagogues to undo much
of the sound financial legislation of the
last session, and unless candidates are
required to define their positions fully
before the convention, we may be mis-
represented on these questions. The re-
cent Memphis letter of Gov. Brown is a
complete and satisfactory vindication of
the financial policy of the last Legisla-
ture, and the effort of demagogues to
make it appear that our taxes are made
'burdensOme thereby, to no purpose, is
exposed and defeated. We should up
hold the credit and honor of the State
by continuing the wise policy already
inaugurated, with such changes and
notifications only as wisdom derived
from experience would dictate. There
is no reason now why we may not have
perfect harmony of feeling and unity of
action in this county. Certainly the in
dependent candidates in the late county
election, and their friends, will hardly
refuse to fulfill their oft repeated prom
Uses during the late canvass, to unite
with the people of the conservative
party to secure harmony in the selection
of candidates for State and national of
fees in the approaching canvass. They
claimed to be as good democrats as any
of us, (and we shall not call this in
question now, and that i'm any election
save a purely county election they
would be found acting with the party.
The people will expect and require them
70 IulhIl these promises, and we believe
that most of them will do it cheerfuny
and sincerely. Then what reason is
there that we may not have perfect
harmony in Giles during the pending
canvass. Already we have had a harmo-
NOUS convention to select delegates to
the Gubernatorial convention, ut which
a resolution was passed calling upon the
people TO assemble in convention again
on the first Monday in September to
nominate candidates for the Legislature,
and to appoint delegates to the Congress
sional convention to be held at Column
bia Sept. 10Th. We trust the several
districts of the county viii not fail to
send their delegations, and let us have
harmony and Enthusiasm in the coming
canvass.

One More Unfortunate.

Mordecai Steel, of No. s, who be-
lieves in the most liberal exercise of his
rights, civil and otherwise, chose to dis
regard the recognized value of coal oil
in kindling fires and preferred instead
his powder flask. The plan adopted by
him of testing the superior excellence
of powder proved very effective, as
was speedily demonstrated by a fine
large and very hot fire. His physician
says the results of his experiments will
be visible for years in his improved IA
cial illustrations and in its effect on the
cotton market, there being at once an
increased demand for shirtings.
