Reynolds announces his flagship Tennessee

inches forward, the speed four to five knots

Associated Press NIendacIty,

The jackson Plot steps aside for mo.
ment to expose falsehood of the Asso-
ciated Press concerning the troubles in
Mississippi;
The Associated Press sends brosdca AZ
throughout the North the untruthful sta a.
meut that, last Sabbath, "Goyelnor Ames
called upon General George, chairman of
the Democratic executive committee. tn
assist in restoring order" Such an event
has never occurred, and the agent of the
Associated Press might have known the
fact had he been desirous of forwarding
facts to the headquarters of his association.
1t seems too great stretch upon the con-
science OF some press reporters to telegraph
the truth. They certainly lead the reader
to believe 30, at least after reading their
accounts of any important circumst ances.
The fact of the matter is, the Associated
Press of the United States, controlled by
Simonton, part owner of at least two
California newspapers, the head offices of
whom are at New York and Washington.
has become SO vile slandering machine,
SO merchantable an affair, such peryerter
OF actual occurrences, for party's sake or
for filthy lucre, that it needs reconstruction
from foundation to dome, from the manage.
ment to the last and least necessary ad-
junot See, for instance, tho yillainuus
statements telegraphed all over the land
concerning the Bank of California. and the
recent and tragic death of its president,
Ralston. The press agents probably knew
that the bank was sound, notwithstanding
its immense losses, but the very contrary
was sent out to be believed ry the general
public-if anything from this base and cor
rupt Associated Press is to be credited
and have its effect in producing financial
crash that should kill the Bank of Califor-
mia and bring ruin to thousands, while the
pets of the association might reap millions
upon the disasters thus precipitated upon
the people. Unless the Associated Press
can be rebuilt and rearranged we are in
favor of its prompt abolishment.

democratic Through and Through. n
The Nashville american says rashly thai
the constitutional convention of North
Carolina 'proves to be Democratic through
and through The election of DR.. Edwin
Ransom as president of that DO ly does moi
look that way. The election was made on
the foui tsenth ballgt by combination OF
Independents and Democrats against the
Republican candidate. Dockery, the Re.
publican nominee, received then fifty.eight
votes, and Ransom sixty. Dockerv threw
scattering vote, which counted one against
him, and Ransom boldly voted for himself,
as man who would leave the Repub.
lican party might be expected to
do, and he was elected. Ransom
was pronounced Grant man in
1868, and in 1872 succeeded in getting
elected to the Legislature as Republican.
That made him Independent. Politicians
of the Independent stripe are everywhere:
they are ready to join any party, and they
usually get their work in best when there
i close vote on hand. Aside from his
weathercock and shifting principles, DR..
Ransom is not bad man; the next breezs
NAV take him back to the Republican side;
but enough has been shown to disprove the
through and through claims of the Denoo-
racy regarding the North Carolina conven.

Who SwindIed Charles Reate z

Charles Reade, the novelist, and some-
times dramatist. writes to the Pal Mall
Ga-ette . letter containing charge which
Illinois should answer. The Wandering
Heir" was very weak story, and it may
be that the play was worth nothing to the
Illinois gll. He says:
An actress calls on me from Illinois, tail,
dark, graceful, handsome, and talks we'll
as all American ladies do. She wants u
new part. Says she has been to another
author, and he demanded the price down,
because she was an American. OF course
put on face of wonder at that other au-
thor; SO inseparable is politeness from in
sincerity. l let her have "Philippa" and
the "Waudering Heir" in the st ates for $40
per night, which is mere nominal price.
Subseq quently two English actresses Of the
very highest merit and popularity asked
leave to play the piece in the United States.
But the Britisher stood loyal to his Illinois
girl Well, she sent me a very small sum
from California. She then went to Austria
liza, played the piece repeatedly; wrote to
me eight months ago, telling me she only
withheld payment because she was coming
to England; and never came to England,
nor made me any remittance. The part is
invaluable to an actress. 1t has been
played by three actresses in England, and
in each case has proved valuable to the
performer. In the United States am
done out of it as property, and done out of
all returns, because l trusted an American
woman In matter of literary property.

MEMPHIS, September l3.-Passep gers bv
the train from Grenada, report serious
trouble in Tallahatchie county, Mississippi,
some ten miles west of Charleston. The
whites there had sent runners to Oakland
for assistance, and the citizens there and
at Grenada were organizing and arming
to go there. No definite information of the
nature of the trouble has been received.
and owing to the distance from the tele,
graph office, it is impossible to obtain re-
liable or detailed reports.
Further Particulars.
A gentleman who arrived from Charles
ton, Mississippi, this evening gives the fol-
lowing account OF troubles in Tallahatchie
county:
Last Thursday two negroes who, il is
claimed, live in Arkansas, registered as
voters at FriersOn's Store, and warrants for
their arrest were issued and given to a CON
stable, who took posse with him. As they
approached the place where the negroes
were staying, the latter saw them
and fled. They were pursued into
Cohoame county, and two of the
posse, Evansi and Buford, it is claimed,
fired at the negroes as they ran. The ne
groes in the vicinity of Trenton hearing
of the affair, armed to the number OF
seventytive. and proceeded to Friersop's
Store and demanded that Evans and Buford
should be given up to them, behaving in the
meantime i'll a riotous manner. County
Treasurer Stewart, who is also deputy
sheriff, assured them that if they would re-
turn home he would arrest Evans and Bu-
ford, which he did not do, ;Nd on Sat
urday it was ascertained that large
body of armed negroes had gathered
at Trenton, and the whites livin gEnear
Frierson's sent Treasurer Stewart and Jerry
Robinson to try and induce them to dis.
perse, but they found them very violent.
and threatening to hang both Robinson and
Stewart, they returned in haste, and mott.
fed the citizens that the negroes were
swearing vengeance against them. Calls
were then made on Oakland, Charleston
and Grenada for assistance, and men have
gone from those points.

A Civil Rights Cnse In Brooklyn.
Judge Gilbert, of the Supreme Court of
Brooklyn, to-day rendered a decision in a
civil rights case, wherein William +. John.
son, colored man. sought to compel a
principal of a public school to admit his
son thereto. instead OF sending him 10 a
school provided for colored children. The
court held that the common schools are q
public charity; that the benefits con-
ferred by them are free gift from
the State, and like every other donor
tue State may prescribe in what manner
and upon what terms and conditions the
gift may be enjoyed.
la conclusion, dge Gilbert says that the
statute, by guaranteeing equal privileges,
does not confer the right to enjoy them in
common with any class of persons and in
any particular school, and that nothing has
been shown from which can be inferred
that the relator has been deprived of an
equality OF privileges to which he is enti-
tied. The motion for a mandamus is de.

No More Boston for worraII.

DR.. T. d. Worrsll the co operative
gentleman of the cooperative scheme, ap-
pears not to have captured the confidence
of Boston; perhaps he is not one likely to
win confidence; at any rate he said TO re-
porter who interviewed him for a Louisville
paper:
The Boston people, a5 class there are
some good people there), are q religious,
high moral people. They worship three
gods. The first is God Almighty, the dollar
the second, God, the son, brains; the third
God the Holy Ghost, the Bosten State
House. They are sordid and selfish, but if
you want to lind men with souls, men who
do not live for themselves, you will have to
go to the West and the South. Having
tasted Western life, do not want any more
of Bos on
The doctor prefaced this little speech by
saying that he had unfortunately been in
Boston," and that he did not banker after
visiting the place again. In demolishing
Boston, however, the doctor pays a neat
little compliment to the West and South,
where he is not likely to be forgotten. Per-
haps the merchants of Boston are Jealous of
the great commercial enterprise headed by
Dr. Worrall, which is to connect the valley
OF the Mississippi directly with England,
and ultimately establish free trade through
the agency of the farmers of New Orleans
who met the English deputation at the
Academy of Music; or perhaps they
doubted that the ships for such
trade would he built. Business
is business, and they certainly had right
to withhold their capital from the co-opera-
tive scheme without subjecting themselves
to the charge of httleness of soul. Boston
responded nobly to the call for food sent
out by sufferers from the overflow in Louisi
ana, and she has done many good things
during the past hundred years. We con
tess to liking for Boston people, and re
greet that the doctor. occupying the inter-
national confidence position that he does,
should go about endeavoring to crush Bcs-
ton, and stir up sectional animosity be-
tween the South and West and the chief
city of New England.
