California can furnish any kind Of dish in
the hot. est style. Now the average "dead
beat" is very harmless fellow, willing to be
kicked and cuffed and abused to any extent so
long as he is let live. He loves life, and SIM
ply wants living. on the ground that the
world owes him one. That is not the Cali
fornia breed. He is fiery animal He went
into an oyster saloon in San Francisco and
called for mess Of oysters. He preferred
'em in stew. He ate, and wiped his mouth
carefully on the table-cloth, and started out.
The barkeeper asked him politelyif he had
not forgotten something. He felt his hip
pocket and said. emo" The barkeeper sug-
gested that he had neglected to pay for that
stew. He replied, "That's fact; I'll pay
you now" and from the hip pocket he drew q
Smith 4 Wesson. The first shot smashed the
mirror behind the bar, and the second tickled
the barkeeper's shoulder. The police heard
the voice Of the pistol, came in and led the
insulted man away by both arms. They gen.
orally suffer themselves to be tamely kickt d
out when insulted by the reckoning cast into
their teeth.

Der of the White House has become an easy
transition in the yesr of our blessed Lord, as
will be seen by reading the following special
dispatch to the Louisville Courier-Jour,ad:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 18.-The Presi-
dent has again given an illustration OF his ex-
traordinary contempt for public opinion.
Last evening there was a brilliant entertain
ment at the White House in compliment to
his son and the bride. To this were invited
the members of the Cabinet, the judges of
the United States Supreme Court, the higher
officers Of the army and navy, the diplomatic
corps, and last mot least). Boss Shepherd and
Richard Harrington, who is now undergoing
trial in the Criminal Court of the District for
one of the most disgraceful crimes known to
the law.
In the morning Harrington was in court, his
accus BIS and prosecutors being the Assistant
Attorney General of the United States, Mr..
Hill, and Mr. Riddle, specially appointed to
the same Office by the Department Of Justice
to conduct the prosecution. Alright the cul-
prit's robes are dropped, and he appears in
the throng of distinguished visitors at the
White House, an honored guest of the Chief
Magistrate of the nation. The effect of such
proceedings upon the administration of Grim
inal justice can readily be seen. 1t is in effect
the President saying to the jury, "acquit the
man, as he is my friend" This affair is the
sensation Of to-day. Its acc impairment was
seen in the court room this afternoon, when
the United States District Attorney Fisher
appeared as counsel for Whitley, now on trial,
whose attempt to overcome witness and
thereby influence the jury, has elected the
the severest condemnation. of the judge who
presides at the trial.

DEMOCRATIC REJOICING AT NASH
WILLIE.
SPEECHES OF kerr, McRNERY AND OTHERS.

Especial TO the Memphis Appeal
NASHVILLE, Nov. 19.-The great Democratic
demOns stion in this city to-day was complete
and Knott, Of Kentucky; McEnery, of Louisiana;
Kerr, of Indiana, and Cox, Of North Carolina.
The speakers were escorted to the Exposition
Building at o'clock, with the State and city Off
GERS and the State and county executive commit
tees. Messrs. Beck and Kerr spoke in the after
noon, occupying about two hours. Both advo-
cate moderation and conservatism on the part
of the Democratic party, predicting success
sion of triumphs in the future if this course is
pursued.
At 10 O'Clock there was fine display of fire.
works at the Exposition building, and an
hour later speaking was resumed at the Ex-
position building. There were several thousand
people present, including many ladies, though
the weather was very unfavorable, slight mist
falling, with indications of rain.
McEnery followed, his speech being devoted to
his trouble with Kellogg. He said that Grant
didn't know as much about Louisiana affairs a
twelve-year-old boy. He referred to the fact
that the ballots cast at the recent election in
Louisiana had not yet passed through the hands
board, composed as it was of five irresponsible
mer, would not be tolerated an hour in TeDnes-
see. He was very severe on Longstreet for the
part he took in the recent, affair at
stration was made by the people
of Louisiana because they had been led to believe
Graut would indorse them in it, and that the
troops Lave been withdrawn from New Orleans
by order of the President, in order to see whether
the people OF that State are willing to make an
effort to GUST Kellogg, if allowed an opportunity.
In the beginning OF his speech he made very
happy alusion to the fact that Nashville was the
point at which are tombs of two former Presi-
dents, both Of whom showed by their lives their
devotion to the constitution and the Union.
Ali illusions to united country were heartily
applauded and when M Emery spoke in glorious
terms of the fact that Boston was the first city
in the Union to respond to the call OF the Louisi
ana sufferers by the floods Of last spring, the
building ihook with a storm OF applause.

It would not much surprise us if the Speaker
of the next National House of Representatives
came from Indiana. Mr.. Banks, well qualified
and experienced as he undoubtedly is, is not
Democrat and the objection will prove fatal.
"Fernandy" Wood is Democrat, and does
not lack ability and experience, but his nomi-
nation by the Democrats would cost them the
respectable vote that they have detached from
weight for SO important position; and Sam
Randall is handicapped with the salary grab.
Mr. NJ. C. Kerr has everything in his favor
talent, popularity and experience, and, besides,
was SO fortunate as to be out of the way when
the Forty-third Congress was grabbing and
whitewashing. Louis Globe.

An Ohio Tragedy.

RIrLSf. July 5.-About eleven o'clock
last night the community were horrltied
by The shooting Of Mr.. John Coslott aud
his son Taylor by Charley Swlsher, OF
this place, Swishet had been Keeping
company with Cosletts daug against
the wishes OF her father. Between ten
aud eleven O'Clock last night Mr.. Co.'S
lett found them siding IN his parton, and
ordered Swisher away. A difficulty
ensued in which Swisher shot Coslstt
and then fed, the girl accompanying
him. being afraid 10 remain al home.
While on the road. two brothers OF the
girl, John and Taylor. who knew moth.
ing OF the previous shooting. discovered
the flying couple and pursued them
with the Intention OF bringing the girl
oa.h. Swisher supposed u was she
elcer Coslett In pursuit aud after order
ing him TO return, free. The ball took
effect in the abdomen OF Taylor, aud
produced hemorrhage from which
death resulted within an hour. The
elder Cosleit was wounded In the thigh,
aud is not considered In danger. SWISH
err is still at largo. although the officers
have made an active aud extended
search. Taylor Cos!ett was a fine
young man, aud leaves widow and

The Next Legislature.

Attention is directed to the article in
another column "from the Gallatin Ex-
aminer." II is Of common remark tina.
the next session of the Legislature will
be one of the most important that has
occurred for number of years; con-
sequently it should be composed Of
good material. Middle and West Ten
nessee are calling out their best men ;
East Tennessee must do the same thing.
There is plenty of the right sort Of ca.
pacity--men OF ability and integrity,
who could make themselves felt-and
the people have the right to command
their services in ar emergency like that
under consideration. The people Sc.
lect and delegate the instruments and
are directly and solely responsible for
all the unwise and inefficient legisla-
ton which occurs. They should cxcr-
else more care and judgment in choos-
ing their makers, or cease to grum-
bic at the result. There are good men
in both parties, and both should present
the best material in their ranks.

The Right Spirit.

Every one will appreciate the follow
ing extract from the address of Genera!
jackson, a prominent farmer in Middle
Tennessee:
He says: "Our influence should be
used not TO war against any Legitimate
interest Of the land. Our mission Is
not TO war against middle men, and
adopt the foolish suggestions of some
Grange speakers. who seem TO desire to
drive middle meu into the producing
ranks-Ohe very worst thing we could
do, since the proportion of agricultural
producers TO all other pursuits in the
State is far too greaD, the farmers being
70 per cent. Of the entire population.
Farmers should act in concert, but they
have nobler and more profitable work
TO accomplish in the present movement
than the establishment Of Grange agen.
cies for the sale Of their products-of-
tentimes abused by those who elcc-
tioneer for said positions. Their con.
centrated efforts should be directed 10
the elevation and advancement Of their
class--socially, Intellectually, intelli-
gently and financially"
This is the uttcrance Of true man,
who has tho interest of the agricultural
classes nj heart.
