Mr.. J. NJ. loMENY died of .yellow-fever
yesterday, after bat three days illness. He
was in New York for some weeks after the
epidemic broke out, but fastened to JON his
family so soon as be heard that they were
menaced by the fever. The death Of a lovely
daughter and Of his wife, whom he buried on
Saturday last, preyed upon his mind to an
extent undermining his strength. so that he
fell an easy prey to the scourge that has
taken 50 many. Mr.. TomeBy, when the late
war broke out, was secretary and treasurer
of the Memphis and Ohio railroad, and
known as a Union man, after the Federal
occupation Of Memphis was employed by the
government in honorable and responsible
positions IN Vickshurg aod Mobile as well az
this city. During President Johnston s
administration, he was United States
marshal for the district of West
Tennessee, and for several years
took an active part IN our local political con-
tests on the Republican side. He made one,
an unsuccessful venture in journalism when
he Joined some otheIs OF his way of thinking
in the publication OF he Memphis San, For
some years past he eschewed politics and
gave his whole time to his private affairs,
which had become involved owing to his de-
vo6on to his public duties. Mr.. Tomeny
was klnd-hearted, Rood-intentioned man
honest in his convictions and earnest in his
desire for their supremacy.

THE news of the death of Captain Thomas
N. Johnston, although not unexpected, was
received with very general regret yesterday.
He was popular with all classes, and de-
served to be. 10 the qualities of true man
he united the gentleness and tenderness of a
woman. His courage, tested on the battle
field and during three epidemics, never failed
him. Where duty called he went, inspiring
all about him by he ardor aud enthusiasm
which ever char cter,zed him. As captain
of the Southern Guards battery, during the
late war. he made an enduring record as a
soldier without fear or reproach, and on the
more awful field where he fell, where death
deals so silently and so stealthily, he stood
among the foremost and best of those who,
night and day, went about doing good. A
noble, unselfsh soul, he gave his life volun-
tary Offering for his iellow-men. His fellow
soldiers who survive him will miss him at
each recurring reunion, and his companions
will miss him from the busy haunts of trade,
where his face was 80 well-known, and where
he was held IN the highest esteem as an up
right, honest man.

Rev. aur. Kone. of suntsvt,,..

EDITORS APPEAL-Whiler reading the APP
PEAL of this morning, | noticed letter from
huntsville, and upon a careful examination
of which | found that it contained at the be-
ginning a true report of the fever IN our
city. But before finished it | was shocked
and mortified at the slanderous report about
the pastor of the Baptist church In this place.
Rev. w. Franklin Kone. Our friend who
contributed this letter needs the sympathy of
all-in that, he has fallen into such way of
misrepresenting and exaggerating facts-and,
no doubt, ne needs the prayers of a minis.
ter equally as bad as the dying man who was
referred to in his letter. Although Mr..
Kone was called upon to go and see Mr..
Booth he was not sent for by him.. When
Mr.. Booth found that he could not recover,
he asked his attending physician if there was
a Baptist church here, and who was the pas
tor. He was told that there was a church
and that the pastors name was Kone. Dr.
Dement,, his physician, then asked him if he
would like to see him. Sad he: 81 would
like to see minister, but | will subject no
one to the terrible disease that l have.
When Mr.. hOne was asked if he would go he
said Eyes, and asked the one who bore the
request to procure him vehicle and he would
go. Mr.. John A. Irwin, the gentleman with
whom kone boarded, bitterly opposed his
going on account of his wife who is of
quite a nervous temperament, and
who is very much excited about the fever.
MIR; kone loves Mrs. Erwin equal to a mother,
and for fear of doing anything that should
cause her trouble, he refused to go-not that
he was afraid of the fever. for he had learned
las other ministers) that the fever was not
contagious. He did not give as his excuse
that if he went he would have to change his
clearinghouse; and even if he had, there
were many in his church and out of it who
would have taken him in. No; his bodily
wants are very well attended to; and as to
the spiritual wants of his fellow-meD, if 9TH
ers were as prompt to administer as he, no
doubt more would die with some hopes. Mr.
hone Is young minister, not having the
| experience of the other ministers Of this
place, and he discharges his duty 10 the best
of his ability. But was not his excuse for
not visiting Booth quite as good as that made

SHERIFF J. w. ANDERSON died yesterday,
after brief illness, Of yellow-fever. He had
been very active during the epidemic as a
member Of several relief committees and in
attendance upon the duties of his office, and
had, like many others, gone to his bed
broken down. Mr.. Anderson entered public
life about a year ago, as the leader of the
workingmen's movement, and was but little
known to the general public until his nomi-
nation for sheriff by the National party last
summer. He had for some years been in
business as a membsr OF the firm of Anderson
& Venn, stonc-cutters and dealers in monu-
ments. A good mechanic, and IN sympathy
with his class, he enjoyed degree of popu-
larity that eliminated in his nomination for
the high official post to which he was elected.
He was a good citizen, and enjoyed the es-
TEEN of a wide cree Of trends.

Tue death of Sheriff Anderson, yesterday,
vacates one OF the most important offices in
the county, one that the exigencies of the
hour makes it imperative should be illed
without delay. We, therefore, suggest to
Squire Holman the propriety of his calling
the county court together at some convenient
and healthy point in our county, for the pur-
pose of electing some one of character and
responsibility to Gil the vacancy, some one
who has the confidence Of the public and who
is not afraid Of the yellow-fever. Not day
should be lost, the public condition demands
1t and the wishes Of the people will be best
subserved by II.

woman of worthless character, he gave as
his excuse that he had several sick members
of his church whom he visited often, and he
would dislike to go there and then to see
this sick Was not Mr.. Kone's excuse just
as suitable as this2 DIR. Goldman, physi
clan and divine of this place, went to this
woman, and we hope saved her soul, if men
can save souls-Rhieh Baptists believe can
only be saved by God-and if Mr. Booth was
Baptist he was saved without any minister.
No; Mr.. Kone is pastor of sect everywhere
spoken against, and our friend has no doubt,
many who will join him in ridiculing themj
but hope he may next time get his informa-
no- .IvIu reliable source before he puts
before the world falsehood about a man of
God. Although MIR. Kone has lowered him
self In the hearts of a majority of the people,
that majority is not in his church, and we
hope that his crown in glory may be as bright
aad shining as those "who openly condemn
his action" OMEGA.
