The nobler motives of humanity concur

ing that every obstacle be removed to a
complete and durable reconciliation be-

OF the controversies which eDgendered civil

the moral influence OF every good citizen, as

THIRTY thousand people assembled at
Franklin, Indiana, to hear Voorhees, and
Blue Jeans Williams, on the oath inst.
The Democrats Of Indiana mean business,
and the whole people Of that state are
aroused. They consider it a crisis. and
feel that Republican victory in Indiana
will endanger the cause Of reform.
Thirty thousand people to hear the Tall
Sycamore and Honest Blue Jeans. It's

reform civilians, and its solid shot will
reach over into the Buckeye state to tell
the patriots there, that like the Rosedale

ALMOST A DUEL.

Two Mississippi Candidates for Com
gress Nearly Reach thai Point.
From the VI, mphis Ayalanehe1.
For several days past our city has been
threatened with 4 visitation Of Missis-
sippi duelists. which it is pleasure to
announce has been avertcd by the inter-
position of officers of the law, and the
efforts OF friends. Colonies Walton and
Manning, competing candidates for con-
gress in the Second Mississippi dis
trict, the former Repub
lican, and the latter Demo
crat. met at Sardis Friday with view to
coming to Memphis to settle personal
difficulty. Before the train left, how
ever. Colonel Walton was arrested, the
other Colonel escaping. Col. Walton
was released yesterday morning, and
again started for this city, but was again
arrested at fernando and only released
upon giving bond to keep the peace. lie
then proceeded as far as Horn Lake,
when he was met by a number of citi-
zens, who were about to cause his arrest
tor the third time, when it was announced
by Colonel NJ. q. Galloway, of the
Appeal, who, it is understood, and had
been sent for to arrange the existing diff
ferences, that the affair had been AMIGA
bly, adjusted. and Col. Walton was per-
mitted to depart in peace. which he did
IN the direction of Sardis. 1t is under
stood that the canvass will be resumed
tomorrow.
The cause of the quarrel was the use
OF the word "scalawag" by Manning,
who indirectly applied it to Walton, who
demanded withdrawal of the applica-
ton OF that word to him. Col. Walton
Is a graduate OF the University of Missis-
sippi, served calamity i'm the army as
colonel OF Il Mississippi regiment, and
has fought, since the war, a duel, killing
his opponent.
Col. Manning was gallant soldier.
and also commanded a Mississippi regi-
ment. These gentlemen should lay
aside their weapons Of blood, or both re-
tre from public lie or join the Sioux.

John Newton, was completed in the
precise time and manner Intended, and
without single accident.
ASSEMBLING OF THE SPECTATORS.
About II o'clock streams of pedestrians
were vending their way across the city
to the points of observation on the east
side. Vast numbers Of strangers came
to see what everybody expected would
be a magnificent spectacle. The street
cars going up town were loaded with
citizens. and First and Second avenues,
as viewed from the heights, were black
with pedestrians moving toward Nine
tieth street. About O'Clock the cross
streets and avenues from which views
could be had were swarming with peo-
pie, anu the house-tops along the east
side were crowded. Thousands of We
hicles OF every description filled the
heights and cross streets.
GREAT ALARM.
Great alarm prevailed among the resi-
dents OF First avenue and the cross
streets from Forty-second to Ninetieth
streets, and some houses were entirely
| deserted by residents, through fear OF
rocks being hurled across the river, or a
huge wave being caused by the upheaval.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DANGER.
Every house ia the vicinity had lis
| doors and windows open, as n matter OF
precauiion, but the great mass of people
had no fears whatever. and spectators
swarmed Oh the piers and low grounds al.
rectly in "a line with the rocks, where
they would be drowned by thousands In
case of wave. Police lined First and
Second avenues and were stationed
amongst the crowds on the rocks, TO be
available in case Of panic.

Fields, Republican. and told him that
one Of them had to die, and approaching
Fields with large stick in threatening
attitude Fields shot and killed Harris.
Fields came to town and surrendered to
the authorities, and Is now awaiting
charges to be preferred against him,
which up to this date have not been pre-

the Democrats.
Hartzell performed good work in this

BORINGERSOLL'S CARELESSNE SS.


When the disappearing Radical, Bob
ingersoll lost the following letter from
his pants pocket, he permitted a truth
to reach the people that Carl Schurz, in
his straight forward German way, at
tempted to make known to his intimate
friends. Zach Chandler had sufficient
control over Schurz to attempt to check
the truth as it ran in even currents, but
he should have put sleeve button on
Bobingersoll's right hand pocket before
that apostle of original piety entered the
fermenting West.
While Bob was making speech in
Ohio, AMI dancing about in his usual
dramatic way, he dropped from his
pocket the letter copied below. 1t is
dated at Republican headquarters in
Chicago, and explains itself, and is sworn
TO be genuine by citizen Of Ohio:
