WE have not burdened our columns
or annoyed our readers with any of the
evidence now being adduced in the trial
of the crooked whisky ring of st. Louis.
Want of spsoe and the pressure upon
our columns growing out OF the demands
of the public in the direction Of the
Southern Pacific railroad, must be our
apology. But few words will suffice
to characterize it. So far the confessions
OF the members of the ring are all one
way. Tney acknowledge that they
robbed the government by the remission
to the whisky manufacturers of twenty
cents of the fifty cent tax, the remaining
thirty cents being collected and
distributed 10 the revenue as
SCISSORS, collectors, gaugers and
detectives. This is the sum total
Of the transaction, which, covering
several years has resulted in the theft of
several hundred thousand dollars. One
of the party, Joyce, Las already been
convicted, and is now in the peniten-
tisry at Jefferson City. John M'Donald,
who is well known in Memphis, will
follow him In q few days, and all the
rest will be sent up in as rapid succession
as the business Of the court will permit.
A fouler nest Of public thieves than this
Of st. Louis has not been cleaned out
since Boss Tweed was sent to Randslps
island by the persistent efforts OF the
leading gentlemen OF the Democratic
party Of New York.

that, by right of sex, men are bound to

saying that "wOmen We're great favor

Wait for the

On Tuesday last a poor white woman,
partially demented on account Of mis-
fortune and poverty, and encountered
with two small children, obtained a per
NIT to 90 to the County Poor-house. She
had been wandering about town for
several weeks, begging bread for her lit.
tie ones, and was a real object Of charity.
How to get to the County Poor-house, six
miles from the city, became the i'm
portant question after the permit had
been obtained from the Poor-house
Commissioners. She was informed
that owing to the muddy condition of the
roads the Poor-house ambulance would
not be in town until Saturday, if then.
Ia the meantime, the unfortunate VIC
man and her children might starve to
death or perish from exposure on the
streets, as the permit could not be eaten,
nor did it act as a bed to sleep on. The
county, of course, does not supply either
food or lodging in the city, and the wo-
man was unable to plod her way through
mud six miles out in the country to that
house Of rest for the unfortunate and
poverty. stricken. Now there is some
thing radically wrong in all this.
The system is wrong, it displaying toe
much red tape or circumlocution. The
Poor-house Commissioners are paid a
salary, and they should see that a daily
conveyance should leave the city for the
poor-house for the purpose Of conveying
paupers to that establishment.
1t may be said that this could not well
be done, as the roads are muddy, or that
it would be inconvenient and expen-
sive, but the people pay the expenses for
such emergencies, and it is better to 60
to extra expense, Inconvenience, etc,
than to let the poor perish in the streets
from starvation or sickness.
The women and children we're driven
to the necessity of applying at the
Adams street station-house for food and
lodging, and there they have been, day
and night, since Tuesday night last,
awaiting the Saturday wagon. She rests
nightly, with her little ones around her,
on a pallet in the Recorders Court
room, in the midst Of the men who apply
nightly for lodging. This is the best
that the station-house can afford in the
way of accommodation. Our reporter
has seen all this, and also sees
the necessity of a change in the
method of conveying the poor
to the county establishment, If the
Poor. house Commissioners or any mem
Der Of the County Court will visit the
st~atiou-house and see the sight we are
certain the system of waiting for the
wagon" will be changed, because human
ity demands it, and sympathy, that Jewe
placed in the heart of man, al do nc
less than recognize the imperative cal
Of poverty and distress. We have writ
ten up this subject with a view to bring
about the needed reform in this respect
All this is plain language, but my mas
ters, here be truths"

The well known lawyers residing in
South Memphis are disturbed and indig-
nant over the following paragraph in
the Appeal of to-day;
South Memphis has another scandal,
in which the particeps criminis are a
well known lawyer and his wife's sister.
The indignant wife, upon learning the
condition of affairs, gathered up her
children and household effects and de-
serted her husband. The scandal has
caused much talk, and the matter will
be investigated by the police.
They allege that the well known
lawyer is a practitioner before the police
and magistrates courts. Up to II
to-day no steps were taken by the police
in the matter, as the offense was not
one violating any criminal statute Of
the State, and can only come up by way
Of a divorce petition or suit under the
bastardy act for the maintenance Of the
child.

The Knoxville Press and Herald Of
late date gives an account of the case
of assault and battery Of cadet Jones VS..
Captain Eaton" Of the negro baseball
club. Tue negro Captain had insolently
challenged the cadets club to a base
ball contest, and which resulted in
Captain Eaton's jaw striking the cadets
fist with terrible force next day, for
which the cadet was summond before
Justice 0chs. The Press and Herald
says:
Cadet Jones reports a most dastardly
attempt to assassinate him, made on
last Sunday night. He narrates that
going towards the University, after
church, while passing by Main street
bridge. over Second creek, he noticed the
forms Of two men dimly seen in the
obscurity Of the night. he heard one
Of them say, there he comes, nowT' and
almost Immediately three shots were
fired at him, none Of the bullets strik-
ing him, but one whistling very near his
head. Having been cautioned and tore
warned of danger, cadet Jones had a
pistol, from which he fired two shots at
his almost unseen a~ssailants, who i'm.
mediately disappeared, and he reached
the University without further molesta
ton. No clue to the persons who at
tempted the assassination has as yet
been obtained. The cheerful crack Of
the pistols, enlivening the quiet Sun.
night, was distinctly heard by the resi-
dents in the vicinity.
The entire affair in which cadet Jones
has figured has, from it's inception,
created a very general interest, in which,
needless to say, the cadet has the public
sympathy. he is a very quiet, IN.
obtrusive young gentleman, a son Of
Mr.. Marcus Jones, Of Memphis.
