FIFTEEN CENTS FARE.
An ImPerIOus Railroad Company
Brought 30 Terms.

Memphis Ledger, Jan. ..
Some time since the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad Company refused to
accept the regular fifteen cents fare from
Col. H. Clay KING, who resided at Gill's
station. Col. King rendered his fare, it
was refused and demand was made for
twenty-five cents, the fare to a station fur
ther out, the company having imperiously
determined not to accept a less fare than
that amount. But as citizens have legal
rights as well as sOUlless corpora
tiOns, an issue was at once made. Col.
King refused TO submit to The blackmail
and was pJIt off the train. He at once en-
tered a suit In the Circuit Court for one
thousand dollars damages against the COM
pany which sought to ride rough shOd over
a passenger. 4 second tender and refusal
of the fifteen cents fare caused another
damage suit to be brought by Col. King,
and this time for five thousand
dollars. The injustice Of the
acts Of the Charleston Railroad
Company attracted no little attention, and
people began to become aroused, and were
determined to see what railroad corpora
tiOns were made of and upon WI at meat
they fed since they had grown so great
were in order, and an effort is making to
so regulate railroad fares, fTelgbts and
privileges Of persons by law that no rail-
road corporation viii dare assume superb
ority over the people, who support all rail-
roads, and without such those purse-prOud
and aristOcratic associations would become
pauper corporations and have to 90 into
bankruptcy. In the cases Of Col. King the
company discovered its error, and has come
down from its hobby y-h0rse by entering in
TO a compromise, which secures the dis
misSal Of the damage suits, and settles for
the present the rights Of those people who
dwell on the railroad at and near Gills
Station The document entered Of record
in the First Chancery Court as an agree
ment and settlement is as follows:
As a basis Of cOmprOmis3 Of the two
suits now pending in the First Circuit
Court Of Shelby county, Tenn, brought by
II. C.. King vs.. The Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad Company, 1t is agreed on the
part 0f the Memphis and Charleston Rail-
road Company that Communication tickets
shall be issued as soon as practicable TO
ellis Station at the following rates, viz:
Each ticket will entitle the holder to fifty
trips at the cost of five dollars for each
ticket. Said ticket shall De good for nine
tv days. In the absence Of such ticket, the
fare to GilI's Station shall be fifteen cents.
The Memphis and Charleston Railroad
Company does not hereby intend to recog-
nize GilFS Station as any ether than flag
station, as it has heretofore done; and it is
also agreed that the said suits are to be dis
missed at the defendants cost,

Man on the Charge Of Counterfeit
ing.
Thomas Pickel was arrested by Officers
Heald and Tindall last Wednesday night,
and committed to the wOrk-house, on the
charge Of passing counterfeit money.
Pickel gave young man with him a
couple Of nickels and he invested them in
chestnuts. Soon after leaving the house
a woman came to the door and told the
officers that some counterfeit money had
been passed upon her. They pursued
Pickel and took him into custody. In
searching him they found four lead I've
cent pieces. The next morning the prison
er was taken before the United States Com
missioner, where he said he got the nickels
from a man named Parker Glenn, who
lived in Bedford county, about two miles
from his own home. He further stated
that he gave Glenn one dollar for twenty
five Of the bogus nickles, and that Glenn
said be would make a pair Of mOulds and
show him how TO use them for fifty dollars.
Pickel gave bond to appear at trial as a
witness, and Deputy United States Mar
shal, Ed. 5. Wheat, went out to Bedford
county for Glenn. He returned with him
yesterday, and lodged him in Jail. Glenn
was in the Davidson county jail once be-
fore, on the charge of Illicit distiliing.

Going home few evenings since, a res
ident Of Cass street heard the voice Of a
boy in a stable, and looking through a
broken window, ne saw a lad about ten
years old reading from a book to a group
composed Of half-a-dozen boys Of about the
same age.
'NOw, isn't this nice." ehuckled the gen
tleman to himself s'these boys, crowded
out Of school, are still determined to secure
an educatiOD,"
He took another look through the win
dow, and then placed his ear to the broken
pane and heard the boy read:

deal, the cards may lie on the table only

A BITTER FEUD.
Two ReneOunfres Between the Same
Parties

Two ReneOunfres Between the Same
Parties.
Samuel Green, formerly Deputy Marshal
Of Edgefeld, and George ClaspilI had a
misunderstanding in Woods saloon, Fri
day afternoon, which led to a personal rem
cOuntre. It is said Claspill told Green he
did not ask him any odds, since he was no
longer an officer Of the law. The fight
then opened, and lasted until Claspill got
very rough hangling. Green was arraigned
before Justice Cassetty yesterday, at the
instance Of Claspill, and fined five dollars
and costs. The parties returned to Edge
field, and hostilities were renewed. Those
who witnessed the affair say that Green
struck Claspill in the face, and the latter
attempted to stab him IN the bowels with
a knife, but the weapon was so dull that
be could not use it TO any purpose. Neither
man sustained much damage.

Monday night he opened at the Varieties

sonatiOn Of RichelieU, when a feeling Incl
dent "nOt on the bills occurred. The
grand old Cardinal returns the sword to
Francois with the swords:
''Take away the sword, S tates can be saved
without it."
No sooner had Mr.. BaTett's grand voice
rolled out the sentiment than its perfect
patness to the situation struck the house.
The seats were all filled with the "ban-
ditli;' and with one spontaneous impulse
every hand in the house joined in loud,
long, and enthusiastic applause.

We may as well say it now: If it
is proposed that the scenes which char
acterized the Mardi Grds orgies in this
city last year shall be repeated on the
9Th proximo, we protest in advance
against so fragrant an outrage upon
public decency being permitted by the
authorities. In New Orleans and
Memphis such festivities are conducted
with a due regard to prOpriety, but
the carnival of 1874, in Nashville,
was license in its worst form
-unbridled, insolent and shameless.
Many Of the active participants were
among the yilest characters Of the city,
and for the day they held as complete
possession Of the streets as if there had
not been decent man or woman within
our corporate limits. Public sentiment
will fully bear US out IN insisting that
lhe like shall not occur again.
