and they will not dare to utter such SEN
timents before a niger meeting.
A crowd of young men and boys as
semble between Humboldt Park and the
cemetery and play base ball, to the great
annoyance of those who reside in the
vicinity. These boys play all day and
fill the air with their oaths, yells end
vulgarities. Are there no Sunday laws
outside the corporation liner
By getting himself thrown from a
buggy or acting as heavy or utility man
at wedding, the fashionable Memphian
can get his name in four daily papers
free of charge, which latter clause
pleases the fashionable chaps no little, as
they are 10th to give up cent, except it
be to impress some belle with their lib
erality.
A brutal Beal street car driver dashed
white boy in most cruel and inhu-
man manner yesterday because the lit
tie fellow rode on the back platform
short distance without paying any fare.
A number of white men in the car
looked on and did nothing to prevent
the commission of the infamous outrage.
1t is rumored that the fernando street
car line is to be extended out to the
Calvary Cemetery. The fernando,
Beal Jefferson and Poplar lines should

in other cities.
To-day young man was bound over
by United States Commissioner Garrett
in the sum of $4,000 on the charge
of stealing money out of registered let
tiers at Grand Junction. There were
three cases against him, and he was
bound over on each. The arrest was
made by Mr.. John B. MINIS, who is
connected with the secret service OF the
Postoffice Department.

ination would bring from five hundred to
one thousand votes as strength to the
ticket" but that he did not mention the
word Irish" 1t is we'll known that if
Mr.. Davis cannet get these votes from
the ranks of his countrymen he cannot
get them from the German or American
elements.
Colonel T. S. Ayres, lifelong South
ern Radical was defeated before the
" niger" convention as a candidate for
Clerk of the Criminal Court, because in
former times he was STAKEHOLDER, and,
like Brownlow, opposes the passage OF
the civil rights bill. His successful OPP
ponent, Andy Davis, never held slaves
and opposes not the infamous bill that is
so we'll calculated to injure the white
race.
The annual polemical discussion or
religious controversy between Catholi-
cism and Professionalism has broken out
in the columns of the Appeal. The
correspondents, above fictitious names,
belabor each other with apostolic blows
and knocks in lively manner. If ever
a man, woman or child became con-
verified to any system of religion by po-
lemical discussions they have not as yet
been heard from.

his eyebrows, breathe heavily and hear
