been told. On Thursday night Mr.. Beech

and every reader will form an opinion per-
haps, adverse to his neighbor. The friends
of Beecher will acquit him while his ene-
mics will condemn him. We dismiss the
subject, by handing it over to the public.

LETTER FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, August 3, 1874.
DEAR WHIG:-Traveling through the
southern country is not the most pleasant
way of passing the Summer months, but it
is beyond doubt the best season-for any
one thinking of settling thereto make
the trip. At this time it presents the most
uninviting features not only of climate and
inanimate things, but of animate creatures
as well, and our estimate of its attractions
and advantages is not SO likely to be exag-
gerated, as is too apt to be when coming
from the North in Winter.
You no doubt read in iScra5ner's, some
time since, a series of articles descriptive of
Tennessee and adjoining States, particu-
larly of the southeast portion of Tennessee
from Chattanooga eastward. One article
was entitled "From Bristol to the Sea-"
describing the writer's trip from Bristol to
Norfolk, via Lynchburg. All these articles
as we'll as those appearing in the New York
GrapAic, were written under Ito the writers
thereof peculiarly auspicious Gas Mr.. Wegg
would say circumstances. These letters
were calculated to deceive and lead many
persons astray. The writers were induced
to see this country in the exaggerated con-
dition of beauty and wealth of which they
write, through the medium of sunGry CLAN.

The agents of the Associated Press at
Memphis, after alarming the country with
the most startling stories about negro riots
at Somerville, Tenn, and Austin, Miss.
now coolly inform us that the one was as
great a ,fasco as the other. All the stories
about a "siege," were lies. There was
fracas at Austin, in which one negro was
killed. The Memphis telegraphers did the
rest.
The Bureau of Justice at Washington
has received accounts of Kuklux outrages
in the vicinity of Sequin, Texas. Two or
three families have been compelled to leave
the neighbOrhood. Recently, two men
were seized in the night by masked ruff
fans, and one of them received one hun
dred lashes. An attempt was made to
hang the other, but his cries brought as
sistance, and he was rescued.
While circus menagerie was going
from Schenectady to Saratoga on Monday
night, the lions cage, which stood OIL a
platform car, was demolished by collision
with a bridge. The lion dashed on through
field, but returned and jumped on the
top of car containing horses. He at
tempted to seized the horses by putting his
paw through the Stats, and injured one or
two OF them, when further damage was
prevented by ruse. A calf was taken
from field near by, killed and thrown into
car. The lion jumped into the car after
it and was caught.
