hazard Of opposition to my reception as
the orator for your approaching fair. and
that yourself and others-ofioers of the
organization-unanimohsly decided to
stand by the arrangement you have
made.
l thank you for the courtesy and con-
sideration thus manifested, but can not
agree that your regard for whatis'due to
me should subject yourselves, or your
association, to any risk of censure or
injury. / am not the less, but rather
the more, careful to avoid such a cense-
guence, because of the magnanimity ex-
pressed in the fact that over two-thirds
Of the officers in your association are of
the political party most opposed to my
self.
It is gratifying to me to know that the
Union soldiers of your section do not
participate in whatever opposition exists
to my coming among you, and | will add
that, for public considerations, it is to
be regretted that any class in the coun-
ty should be less liberal than they.

ually, | have the honor to be yours, re-
specially, JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The Crime Of %..Rurking.,,

On the 10Th Of November, 1927, an
old mar BY the name of Donald died in
West Port, one of the p%urlieus of Edin-
burg. He lodged with an lrishman
named William Hare, and died owing
him four pounds. His creditor saw but
one way Of reimbursing himself, and that
was by dispesing of the old mans body
to the doctors. Hare found a ready &C.
complete in William Burke, another
Irishman, and also one of his dodgers.
The body was removed from the coffin,
and a bag Of tanners bark substituted
for it. The lid was screwed down and
the little funeral went of as usual. The
same evening Hare and Burke stealthily
repaired to the university, and meeting
a student in the yard, asked for the
rooms Of DR.. Monroe, the Professor of
Anatomy. The student happened to be
a pupil Of K1ox's, and, upon discover
ing their errsndehe advised them to try
Knox's place. On Surgeons Square,
There they SID the body for 97 TO-, q
large sum fof them, and very easily OBJ
tanned. They had not courage to 60 into
the regular business of body.stealing;
and so Hare, the vilest Of the two, sug-
gested a fresh stroke of business, which
was to inveigle the old and inirm into
his quarters and do for them" Hare
started in search of a victim; and, prowl-
ing through the slums, metan old woman
BALI drunk anl asked her 10 his house.
He gave her whisky until she became
comatose, and then with Burke's assist
ance s~trsngled her. The body brought
el0.
The appetite of the vampires was now
sharply whetted, aud they entered sys-
tematically upon the work Of murder.
Migrants, street walkers and imbeciles
we're allured on various pretexts to the
house of Hare, made dead drunk and
~suffocated. E~mboldened by their sue.
cess, they began to pursue their thuggish'
practices even in daylight. A woman
named Docherty was stiaed and her
body left half exposed under some straw,
and was seen by two dodgers, who noti-
fed the police. Thirteen victims had
been secured in eleven months and all
taken to the same place and sold. The
prisoners were tried December "a, 1928,
when Hare, the blacklist of the villains,
was let off by turning States evil
dence," and Burke was convicted,
hanged and dissected.
The effect produced upon the public
By this horrible disclosure is indescriba-
bic. A new and unheard Of crime, that
Of Burking, was added TO the list of
atrocities Of which human fends are ca
psble. Astonishment and terror spread
throughout the community. Households
gathered their members within doors be-
fore night; workmen walked home from
their nights toll, as if in fear Of being
waylaid. The facts were appalling
enough; but a thousand exaggerations
and inventions filled the air and fntensi-
fed the universal excitement.

DUBLIN, August 3l.-The Synod of
Irish Archbishops of the Catholic
Church, summoned under express au-
thority of the Pope, met at Maynooth
to-day. Cardinal Cullen presided. 1t
is understood hal the educational ques-
ton will be the principal subject of the
deliberations.
SHANGHAI, August 3l.-Mr. Hender-
son, chief engineer in the Maratime
Customs service, and the lighthouse
keeper on Chartung %promonotory, with
their Chinese employees, have been at
tackled by the neighboring villagers. 1t
is alleged that the outrage was instigated
by the Mandarion, whom Henderson
visited.
RAGUsHA, August 3l.-The Turks have
thrown 1000 men into the Trebigue.

NEW YORK.

New York, August Sl.-The Silk
Association of America have made up
a comparative table Of imports of manu-
featured silks at this port in the months
Of August from 1858 to 1875, inclusive,
which shows that the total gold value of
imports during the past month was
$3.50, 789, aud averaged we'll with the
last five years, and is a considerable in
crease over August, 1874. Of the 4S2
bales received, l65 came from England
and the Continent, 3lS by the Overland
route and 4 by the Isthmus Of Panama,
and this amount represents nine-tenths
Of the United States, from which the
government derives about 100000 in
duties.
1t was reported yesterday that a dis
patch had been received announcing
that the direct cable had been repaired,
and that. communication by it between
this country and Ireland vas complete.
The superintendent of the company
owning the cable said q dispatch had
been received during the day which told
him to be on the lookout for the Fara'
day, now expected at any moment.
From the statements of the captain
and passengers of the steamer which
arrived here yesterday from Porte Au-
platte, and advices brought to the Do
minican Consul, it appears that the re-
ports previously published from Havana
to the effect that a successful revolution
in Santa Domingo had occurred in favor
of Baez were greatly exaggerated. Some
of the most ignorant portion of the pop
ulation in the interior have become rest
less, and instigated by Spanish ennis
saries have become insubordinate and
r%iotous, but their conduct has not as
sumed the gravity of a rebellion or
luton. One Of the wealthiest Spanish
residents, having been found to be guilty
of reasonable correspondence, has been
expelled from the country, and it was
alleged that he was responsible for the
exaggerated reports telegraphed.
Last night was the La Hamlet night
in New York. Booths Theater, where
Mr.. Barry Sullivan has begun an en-
gagement of one hundred representa-
tions in this country, under the manage
ment of Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer, was
densely filled, and the presence Of the
Sixty-ninth Regiment decorations upon
the boxes and the animation of the whole
vast assembly gave it an uncommonly
brilliant appearance. The occasion was
that of the festival Of welcome" in
which the Irish and Irish-American pop.
u%lation paid homage to their distin-
guished countryman. A torch-light pro-
c%ession, fireworks and q serenade by the
Sixty-ninth Regiment band supple
mented the performance of Hamlet.
The Grand Opera House was also filled
by a fine audience, drawn thither by the
announcement that Mr.. E. L. Davenport
would play Hamlet. He was received
with great enthusiasm, and the welcom-
ing applause was continued SO long that
the veteran artist showed signs of en-
barrassment. Like Mr.. Sullivan, Mr..
Davenport was called before the curtain
at the close Of every act, and throughout
the play each was literally applaudedby
his respective audience.

in an enlarged form, complete as a news
paper in all its departments and i'm
proved in the general makeup. Having
safely weathered the long, dull months
of the summer, the LEDGER enters upon
its twenty-frst volume with hattering
prospects of renewed prosperity and
greater usefulness than ever in promot-
ing public interests, disseminating the
news Of the day and in the advocacy Of
sound policy in local, State and national
affairs. Being at a good understanding
with our readers and with a reputation for
candor, plain speech and esrnestness, We
are in a position to work efficiently for the
building up of Memphis, the develop
ment of the surrounding country and
the welfare of our glorious old common
wealth. Tennessee has much to hope
for. She is entering upon a second era
of prosperity. Her resources, climate,
soil and variety of productions are
second to none in the Uuiou, and the
people are putting forth their noblest
energies to improve their lands and
modes of cultivation, establish manu-
factories, build up a thorough system of
public schools, sustain churches and all
benevolent enterprises, harmonic dis
cordsnt elements, enforce the law and
to elevate and ennoble all classes.
Happy is the man in such an age
and State who avails himself Of his op-
portunities Of usefulness and appreci-
ates his advantages. We are more and
more convinced from observation and a
careful consideration Of facts derived
from both official and personal sources
that Tennessee is one of the most highly
? favored States in the Union, and that
her people have as much cause to be at
taehed to the soil and stimulated in the
great march of progress as any in the
land. No portion Of the country is
more inviting to the immigrant and the
capitalist. These, however, come in
slowly, and it rests with our people to
work out their destiny, and to the laurels
Of a chivalric race won on a hundred
battle-felds add the more grateful vic.
tories Of peace. In this great work the
press must play a conspicuous part, and
the LEDGER, as hitherto, will ever be
found in the front ranks Of true progress,
the friend of the whole people and a
bold advocate Of the right. To-morrow's
LEDGER will contain q full cotton state
ment and facts Of vital interest to mer-
chants and business men. Allusion will
be made to the business OF the past com
mercial year, and to leading houses and
firms in particular. 1t will be a fair
index to the material interests of the
city, and give an idea Of the business
outlook. There is a perceptible improve
ment already, and the enlargement
which, we are pleased to announce, is
an actual necessity-to meet the de-
mands Of our patrons, rather than an
experiment.
