yesterday morning the Elliott
block, located on the levee at the

and was destroyed. The prompt
response of the fire department
saved Bohien & Huse's adjoining

by Nick Hooth. The stores des-
troyed were those occupied by Mat.

and provisions, and the adjoining
storage and commission house.

flames, J. Boggiano's saloon, j.
Boggiano & Co.'s eating house, and

Governor Brown, in a letter da-
ted Oct. 18th, addressed to Cover
nor Beveridge, of Illinois, in rela-
ton to the alleged kidnapping of
ono. George w. Smith, now indict-
ed in this State for murder, takes
the ground that Smith is now in
the hands OF tho judiciary and out
of his control; that the constitution
of Tennessee so distinctly defines
and separates tho executive and
judicial departments that he cannot
interfere, and cites a like case, now
in dispute between Tennessee and
Mississippi. in relation to one Will
son, a condemned and escaped muir
derer from Mississippi, now in
Nashville Jail for horse-stealing.-
As to the abductor of Smith, Gov.
Brown says no requisition has been
made for him, but when made 1t
will receive due consideration.
Milan Exchange: Our citizens
will remember that the Baptist Min
isters' Institute eonvenes here with
the West Tennessee Convention on
Thursday the 5th of November,
when a number of prominent
preachers of that denomination
will be present-Seme dead beats
were rousted out of a locomotive
tender tho other night, black rs ne
groes. They were trying to steal
a ride-Gibson county ranks No.
Z in scholastic population in Ten
nessee. Next year if, if she keeps
as fast as she has, she
will rank ABOUT fifth.
Speaking of the Gibson county
affair, and tho refusal of the Uni
ted States Marshal to give up the
prisoners held by him, the Union
and American says: Several par
ties who will probably be arrested |
In Gibson county this week, have !
determined not to give bail. Nrits
of habeas corpus will be sued cut in
their cases and the constituuonali-
ty of the Enforcement Act will be |
fully passed upon before United !
States Circuit Judge Emmons. At |
the request of Gov. Brown, opin- |
ions relative to the conflict of juris- |
dictiOn in West Tennessee have |
been prepared by Attorney Gener-
al 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 not embrace within its scope |
the action taken by the Federal |
officials.
Appeal: We are glad to learn
that the prospect for securing the
whole subscription loan of twenty
i've thousand dollars to the Padu-
cab road brightens every day. 1t
IS exceedingly important just at
this time, when our merchants are
extra exertions for cotton
and trade, that road so important
IS this should be completed as far
as Hatchie river before spring, and
we renew our urgent entreaties
hat to that end the committee now
Is king subscriptions meet with
hearty and prompt responses from
bur citizens. Even though they
made q present of twenty-five thou
,and dollars, 1t would be a cheap
of a lucrative trade that
,nly needs the expenditure of that
amount to add over two hundred
thousand dollars to our annual re-
,eipts.
