President Grant has vetoed the bill
reducing the Presidents salary to S25,-
600, his reasons being that he will not
be responsible for cutting down the
salary of his successor. aud that as the
salary was fixed early in the history of
the county, the present sum was II"
more than just advance according t"
other prices. nor in fact II" more than

wing party went to pieces, and then,
being too conservative to affiliate with
the Republicans, he was known for
several years. more lis their opponent

Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1876-03-18


In yesterdays LEDGER appeared an
account of a killing scrape at Jackson,
Tennessee. From the jackson Sun of
the 18th we take the following particu.
lars:
Last Monday evening o young man
named Felix HUMPHREYS came to this
city from Holly Springs, Miss, and in
an alteration which occurred soon after
he arrived between him and John Casey,
about a board bill due by Casey, he shot
and wounded Casey, and killed William
Kennedy, who attempted to prevent the
difficulty. Casey and Kennedy had been
employees OF the N. o. st. l. and G. r r
Company, but we're out of enjoyment at
the time Of the difficulty. They came
here from Water Valley Sunday morn.
ing. HUMPHREYS came up Monday
Kennedy was about rs years old, rather q
good face, but was not known to have any
family. HUMPHREYS is q young man
about Is years old, and bore q good rep
utation before this affair. Casey is about
l8 or 20 years old. 1t is rumored since
the killing that Kennedy and Casey in
suited Humphries' sister last Saturday
morning, and that that had something to
do with the bloOdthirsty feeling mani.
tested by him. After the shooting Hum
phries escaped to the woods and was not
arrested.
