MEMPHIS, March 4, 1876.
mr.: X A. Thompson Dramatic Editor Ava
DEAR SIR-ln reply to your note of
this evening, | would answer that |
neither made nor authorized any such
statement as suggested in the extract
you quote. What | understood YOU to
say as expressive of Colonel Kellar's
views was, that if the colored people saw
ut to exercise privileges under the civil
rights law, |, as manager of the Mem.
pins Theater, had a right to assign them
such places as | might deem proper.
Yours, respectfully,
I. W. DAyEY.
To the above the Avalanche adds the
following:
Inquiry Of Mr.. Brennan, Of the LEDGER,
results in the fact that his information
on which the above paragraph was based,
was obtained from an attache of the the.
alter.
Mr.. Thompson made no such state.
ment to any person.
And then follows a brace Of cards on
very much the lame subject:
MEMPHIS, March 4, 1876.
EDITOR APPEAL notice in your
interview with Mr.. Davey, manage of
the Memphis Theater, published this
morning, an effort is made to n
my name with an attempt of two colored
men to enter the theater last night. All
| have to say is, that there is not even
the shadow of truth upon which to base
the statement; that | did not know such
an attempt would be made, and whoever
says otherwise must be aetuated by
malice and a desire to injure nae in this
community. Respectfully,
R. F. PATTERSON.
| oheerfully indorse the above card
and as lessee OF the Memphis Theater,
will say that from my W knowledge.
aud from all information which | have
received, | am fully satisfied that Gen.
PATTERSON had no connection whatever
with the occurrence referred to, and no
one regrets more than myself that his
name has been implicated in any manner
with the matter.
THOs. W. DAvEY.
We feel like writing a card on some
subject, but we refrain when we recolIect
the wise but odd saying of the wit, Rev.
Sidney Smith; "A man should never
hang himself upon his own pot. hooks"

him TO do So"
