families of Odd Fellows in the city and

impressive manner, those who would heed
the voice Of their tender Shepherd to come
near the stand, and was joined in singing a
touching Christian melody, during which
two came forward.
Then, at the Doctors solicitation, many
Christians came near and knelt in, prayer
for more Of Christ's spirit to bless all, and
especially the pastor; and, at the same
time, number of the unconverted knelt in
their places, as penitents and seekers.

whose Old Clothes?

Just before nine o'clock last night, a
couple of negro men entered secondhand
clothing store, on Cherry street, a little
south of Broad, and attempted to dispose
of one striped shawl, a pair Of cashmere
pants, and large figured calico dress pat
tern. The articles were offered for sale at
such a small price that the suspicious of
the shop-keeper became aroused, and,
stepping into the street, he called
in officers Head and McKin-
new. The officers arrested the negroes
and started with them TO the police station.
When a few doors north of the Academy of
Music, one of the negroes succeeded in
Jerking loose fromThe officer who held him,

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR.
A message was received from the Mayor,
stating that the duty of dispensing the
charity fund of the city seriously
interfered with the other official
business of the Mayor. In view
Of this fact, he recommended that the

stipend to provide for the wants of the poor.
He thought immediate action advisable, as
winter was approaching. He also called
attention to the ia t that the law provides
that the compensation of city officers shall
be fixed before their election. Hence there
was an irregularity in the election of the
Sth inst. He trusted these irregularities
would be removed, in order to prevent any
injury to the city. The message was re-
ceived and ordered to be filed.

WORSE MIXED THAN EVER.
The Conflict of State and Federal Juris.
dietiOn in West Tennessee.


1t will be remembered that of the six
teen negroes taken from Jail at Trenton,
several weeks ago ten m ade their escape.
Six found their way to Memphis, where
they are held by the Federal authorities
as witnesses against the parties
to be prosecuted in the United States
District Court. The grand jury of
Gibson county is now considering the
cases of these negroes and will indict them
for the riOtOus proceedings that led to the
Trenton massacre As the court meets at
Humboldt on Monday, demand will be
made for their delivery to the sheriff of
Gibson county, but L. ). District Attorney
Murray has already intimated that they
shall not 20 ont Of his hands.
Several parties who will probably be
arrested in Gibson county this week, have
determined not TO give bail. Writs of
habeas corpus will be sued ont in their
cases and the cOnstitutiOnality of the En-
forcement Actwill be fully passed upon be
fore United Stated Circuit Judge ETmons.
At the request of Gov. Brown, opinions
relative to the conflict of jurisdiction in
West Tennessee have been prepared by At
torney General Heiskell and Chancellor
Cooper. They both hold that the Enforce
ment Act is unconstitutional, and that, even
if such were not the case, it does hot en-
brace within its scope the action taken by
the Federal officials.

TN DEMAND.
A RequisitiOn from the Governor Of
Of Mississippi for a COIOred MUIR
derer In Jail Here.

n bequAsAHou from tne UOternOE Oh
Of Mississippi for a COIOred MUIR
derer In Jail Here.
Agents of the State of Mississippi are in
the city with a requisitiOn upon the Gov
ernOr of this State for Green Stokes, color
ed, alias Joe Holt, alias Joe Lytle, now in
Jail at this place. He was arrested at the
Louisville AepOt in this city on the first
day of July last, upon receipt Of infOIma-
ton to the effect that he was wanted at
Beech Grove, near WaTtrace, TO answer for
the crime of burglary. Soon after his arrest
a dispatch came stating that he was also
wanted at MUrfTeesbOrO for horse stealing.
He was also accused Of having fred at an
officer who was trying TO arrest HIM at Muir
freesbOrO a few days before. 1t seems that
this darkey with the numerous aliases was
confined in the Murfreesboro Jail about
four years ago for the crime of burglary,
but escaped therefrOm. A sister Of the
prisoner says that about three years ago she
received d letter from him, dated at
COrinth, to the effect that he
was in Jail, and was to be
hung in few days; that he afterwards
made his appearance at her house, in Bed
ford county, and tried TO induce her daueh-
ter to run Offwith him, and that he told her
he had outraged a woman in Kentucky, and
killed her afterwards to avoid detection. 1t
is said that Stokes. alias Holt, etc. was en-
gagged in a burglary at one time, assisted by
a nephew-a young boy. Hearing some
one approaching, he told the boy he would
give him five dollars if he would Jump out
at a window and run. The boy accepted
the proposition, but had run only short
distance when he. was shot dead, Holt
making his escape.
But all this does not explain why Stokes
is wanted in Mississippi. He stands I'M
der sentence of death in that State and is
wanted there for execution. He was con-
victed of a murder, sentenced to be hung
and confined in Jail to await the death pen
atty at Brook Haven, but managed to make
his escape. This was probably year ago.
He came from Mississippi back to rennes-
see, where he has continued, the pursuit of
crime.
Gov. Brown telegraphed the Governor of
Mississippi that he has no power 20 give
the prisoner up, but with the consent of the
judiciary authorities that have him in
charge, asking whether, if the prisoner
should be turned over to the authO.ities of
Mississippi and not executed, he would be
retu ed to the authorizes of Tennessee.
Judge Frazier and Attorney General
Caldwell gave their consent TO the prisoner
be z removed to Brook Haven, Mississippi,
provided he would be returned to Nash
vile at once, if not executed, as he was
indicted here few weeks since.
Last evening Gov. Brown received a tele.
gram from Gov. Ames, Of Mississippi, stat
ing that the negro should be returned TO the
legal authorities here, if not executed, and
the officers will start fQF Brook Haven with
their prisoner to-day.
