WHO Is TO BLAME?

The failure Of the Legislature during the
extra session to pass some bill Of relief for the
city was due entirely to the Conservative men,
bers, who higgled over matters the impracti-
cability of which was patent, and could not
come to any understanding as to what was
best to be done. The Conservatives
in the Senate, or some of them rather,
were conspicuous for their efforts
to thwart practicable measures of relief The
Republicans were willing to further anything
that promised well for the city, and that did
not tread on their toes or deplete the pockets
of their friends, but the Conservatives per-
mitted valuable time to be FILTERED away in
wordy debates, which may now be regarded
as the most expensive oratory to which the
people Of this State were ever treated.

FERGUS FUSELIER,

The many friends and the whole bar were
shocked yesterday upon learning of the
sudden and unlocked for demise of that we'll
known and patriotic lawyer, Fergus Fuselier,
Esq
MI. Fuselier, yesterday, returning from
the French Market, was suddenly stricken
down by congestion Of the brain and expired
without speaking. He leaves a widowed
mother, of whom he was the only support, and
an extensive circle of warm friends to mourn
his taking away in this the prime Of his repu-
tation and life.
He stood very high professionally, and as a
friend, patriot and gentleman drew toward
him hundreds of those who appreciated his
shining qualities hidden beneath modest
and unassuming address.
After the closing Of the late war, through
which he served in Clark's brigade with dis
tinction, he commenced the practice of law
in this city, where he has, by his assiduous
application and untiring energy, reached
high rank. ........
This morning all the courts, after eulogy
by Julian Michel, Esq, adjourned in respect
to the memory of the deceased.

bv The city Of Montgomery in aid Of the
Montgomery aud Wetumka plank-Toad

New YORK, June IS There is 10

tered the room with Ex-Judge Porter,
and there we're then present sii the UOun-

OF the plaintiffs counsel were present,
and Mr.. TiitOn divided his time between
Judge MOTris's Office and the Judges
charlber. Mr.. BeeCher was not seen in
the neighborh0od OF the courtroom.
One rumOr is that the jury stands nine
to three for acqgittai. Judge Nelson
was in his private room early il tine
morning, bat no communication was re.
ceived from the jury-TOUp, and he states
ne VIII not send for them; the court will
await their pleasure. The courtroom is
crowded, and inside and outside are
many ladies. Many hacks are also in
waiting 10 carry the news to remote parts

= TumJr has been oiTcU' ated that tine
friends Of the plaintiff have gained en-
trance to the jury-rOCm in the disguise

by the court officers, who say that

that no bsliotirg bss taken place in his

spectators from the park, where they
have been watching sthe jurors move

FOR the fairness IS well as high tone

Modern, are identical, in every respect,
save the titles. 1t seems to us that,

MEMPHIS, June MISUNDERSTANDING
the fact that Memphis is the CONNER
cisl emporium of Tennessee, it will
doubtless be agreeable to your readers to
give them brief summary Of her future
prospects, with little gossip thrown liz.
The very fact Of her geographical posi-
ton has made her the abode OF great
men from every section OF the Union,
and especially Of many Of that charac-
ter from East Tennessee. In fact, it is
al impOssibility for an East Tennessean,
with an average intellect, to become DOM
iciled before he is forced to become pub
lie servant in some capacity. 1t is often
remarked that our section is an "EldO-
RADIO" for them. The only way, indeed,
which they can prevent having lucEa-
tive Office thrust upon them by the REQ.
pie is to prove one Of Ebony Wellers's
GiibiS" as to the place of their nativity.
The establishment of the fact that they
first saw the light Of day in your beauti-
full mountain country, is so sure read
to places OF honor and profit, that many
Of cur aspiring citizens have resorted to
sophistry 10 convince the "sovereigrs"
that they would have been born among
you haG the opportunity been afforded
them OF making a selection OF, 10 them,
so eventful place. Of course
yen do not understand how this state of
AFFAIR." has existed so long, aud so few of
your citizens have emigrated from their
quiet homes, sllured by the good fortune
Of their friends and nelghboTs who have
come among US. 1t cannot be account
ed for upon the hypothesis that light
ming never strikes twice in the same
place, because it keeps striking at every
election, and East Tennesseans have all
felt its electric shock. We viii have
more elections; so please advertise that
fact to your readers. We are partial to
their sort, for they have thus far failed
TO steal any public funds entrusted to
Them
