WILL. He ANsWERY

A communication appears IN another col
umn addressed to General A. j. Vaughan.
1t emanates from non-partisan, promi-
nent gentleman of Shelby county, who is an
Independent in politics, and in casting his
vote generally does so for the best men, with
out caring tor party nominations. We pre-
diet that General Vaughan will not answer
the respectful question that has been asked
him. Indeed, he has already emphatically
refused to do so. In the discussion at Ra-
leigh, on Wednesday, General Vaughan was
explicitly asked if he intended to vote for all
the names on the ticket on which his name
appears, and he refused TO answer. Such pre-
varicaton and dissImulatlon is not in keep
vaughan s honest and candid nature. He is
placed in an embarrassing position. If he
proclaimed to the world that he intends to
vote for the Radicals on the ticket, who for
ten years supported all the infamous meas
ures by which the southern people were dis
franchised, plundered and prosecuted, he
will be deserted by those who have suffered
by these outrages. If he fails to support the
entire ticket on which his name mas been
placed, he will be charged with infdelity to
the Republicans and the Nationals. General
Vaughan's old friends commisserate his hu-
initiating position. Continued silence will
dssatisfy all parties. An honest avowal of
his purposes will offend many. The Office
seeker who tries to please everybody and all
parties succeeds in pleasing nobody or either
party, and generally retires into obscurity,
commanding only that respect which the
world feels for the hermorphodite. In con-
templating his unenviable position, how APP
propriately can General Vaughan exclaim:
"Oh, what tangled web we weave
When nrst we practice to deceive"

tionals and was forced to retire, and the
meeting was broken up by the National Re-
publican mob. To see the stopped form and
white locks of j. J. Rawlings flying from the
missiles Of gang of political scoundrels is an
outrage upon our civilization and common
decency. In other sections Of the Union the
Nationals have been charged with COM
munism, and IT seems this principle Ia prac-
ticed by the Nationals of Shelby, for party
which drives such a man as J. J. Rawlings
from the stand at his own political meeting
is capable of espousing the communistlc
doctrines which the Nationals have propa-
gated in other States. The Nationals come
forward as reformers, political saints, and
they manifest their reform measures and
their claim to the affections Of the people by
pelting from the stand an old citizen of Mem
phis, venerated for his years and the purity
of his life. In other sections of the Union
the Nationals have been charged with COM
munistic theories. Their noisy and disor-
derby meetings smack of violence and blood
shed, and it is not surprising that the Ma
tionals of Memphis should endeavor to stife
free discussion by breaking up Democratic
meeting

The Chicago Times calls attention to the
fact that the local attorneys of Washington,
fuding, doubtless, that their business suffers
because of the willingness of members of
congress who are lawyers to take hold of good
cases in the local courts, have set up growl
at the practice. The judges have been IN
duced to side with them. on the theory that
the presence of congressman as attorneys for
parties, especially in criminal cases, has a
marked influence on juries. Casey Young
recently appeared as counsel for George C.
Ellison, indicted for the murder of David
Smals. A New York congressman was as
ISOLATED with him for the defense, and the
acquittal is charged to the unmerited inhu
ence their presence exerted. If anywhere,
congressman should be at discount in Wash
ington, but it is said that Ben Buffers pres
ence in criminal case in the courts of that
city is sure acquittal for his client. The
local lawyers talk of procuring legislation
from congress prohibiting the practice of
which they complain. But they may reckon
without their host, for legislators never make
laws against themselves, and the majority of
congressman are lawyers.

The Smithville paper discusses John H.
Savage's chances for the nomination for gov
ernor before the State Democratic convention,
vile Banner, which says: "a large number
of counties have instructed their delegates to
support the colonel, and many other counties
have left their delegates uninstructed, but
have adopted resolutions that indicate the
temper of the people as not averse to him.
1t is known that many counties delayed
action until the first Monday in August, for
fear of the effect that their action might have
on the August election. Some of these will
declare for Savage, while others will adopt
low tax resolutions and leave their delegates
free to act for themselves We are now more
confident than at any time in the past, that
Colonel Savage will be the nominee, if there is
no cut and dried trick presented to cheat him
out of the nomination.

ROUND Rock, July 22.-Sam Bass died at
two minutes to four yesterday Sunday and
was buried this morning by the civil author
tiles, to whom the body was turned over by
Major Jones' Rangers are scouting for Jack
son, who, rumor says, is IN the vicinity, prob
ably lingering to hear of Bass's fate. Ihe
last moments of Bass were easy. He refused
to the last to inform directly IN his confeder-
ates, and said to Major Jones, when asked
questions about his accomplices, ut Is agln
my profession to tell. If man knows any
thing let him die with it in him." The bind
was tracked from place to place, and Mayor
Jones was here two days before the time
fixed for the bank robbery.
THE CREDIT OF TEE IRrERCEPTIoN OF BASS.
DALLAS, July 22.-The credit of the cap
ture OF Bass and a portion of his gang Is
given to Sheriffs johnson and Everheart, who
matured and urged the plan of arrestlng
Murphy, releasing him on bail, and spread
ing the report that he had jumped his bond.
The plan worked like a charm. Murphy
hunted, apparently sought the camp of Bass
for protection, and whenever opportunity Of
fered dropped information of the whereabouts
and purchases of the gang to Johnson, Ever
heart AMI Captain Peak. The plan to rob
the bank at Round Rock having been agreed
upon, timely notice was dispatched by Muir
ply to Johnson at Austin. Details OF subse-
quent events have appeared in the Netos. An
officer from Austin says Everheart and john
son would have been at the capture at Round
Rock, but were advised by Major Jones to
hold the fort at Austin. On the receipt of
the dispatch from Murphy to johnson giving
Bass away, consultation was held with
Everheart and Major Jones; the latter urged
that Murphy's information might be ruse
of Bass to get all the forces away from Aus
tin in order to facilitate an attempt to release
r IL A(H
johnson to manage affairs at the capital, and,
accompanied by Captain Hall, took the Round
Rock affair in hand. The death of Bass Gre
ates sympathy for the newspaper man.

IN explanation of the difficulties between
Captain Eads and some of the stockholders

which is in the main correct, but which is

The dissatisfied stockholders represent about
thirty thousand out of nearly four hundred
thousand dollars, or less than one-tenth in
value and in numbers, and their opposition
is of such nature that they would not thank
any one for calling public attention to it. 1t
is altogether private matter, however, and
has nothing in it to call for publicity except
that it is connected with an enterprise in
which the whole population of the Missls-
sIppi valley is interested. 1t is not likely,
however, that the small tempest which has
been raised will at all interfere with the sue
cessful prosecution of the work on the jettles.

THE STATE BANK THEORY.

We print in another part of this APPEAL
an extract from speech of Colonel Jno. II.
Savage, delivered last Saturday at the court
house in Nashville. Colonel Savage in that
extract quotes from message of Ex-Gover-
nor Harris, wherein that gentleman gave
facts and figures in convincing array against
the continuance of the State bank, and urg-
ing that it be wound up and the capital be
put out at interest, when at six per cent. he
held it would earn more for the State than it
ever had through the operations of the bank.
Besides these, quotations from Governor
Harris's message, which will convince any
man not wholly demented on the State bank
question, we publish to-day the proceedings
of meeting held at Nashville, September
9th, 1853, to which subcommittee, COM
posed of S. A. Smith, Andrew John
son. A. o. P. Nicholson, Edwin A.
Keeble and john K. Howard, reported
that it would be unwise to re-
charter any of the existing banks in the State;
that such reforms should be made IN our cur
rency as will insure a sound circulating me-
dunn, convertible at all times into gold and
silver; and that the several banks, as their
respective charters shall expire, should go out
Of existence, and such streps be taken, in
consistency with the public interest, as will
secure the liquidation of the Bank of Ten
nessee at the expiration of its charter.
If it was considered unwise to rechar-
ter the existing banks when there was no
such thing as a greenback currency that
passes everywhere without discount, how
much more so now that there is. All the
reasons that had force to move the gentlemen
above named against the continuance of any
of the banks of issue IN the State in 1858
have tenfold force now. But then there has
never been any serious intention by any con-
siderable number of the people to establish
State bank, and until there is there is hardly

ACCORDING to Cath the fall of the
Cameron dynasty is predicted by many of the
Republican public men at Atlantic City, and
an impression prevails among Pennsylvania
Republicans that the Democrats will carry
the State, some say by hty-thousand ma

is even said that Don Cameron is trading the
governorship away for legislative votes.

j. J. RAWLINGS.

This old and honored citizen of Memphis IS
now seventy-two years Of age. He has lived
in Memphis nearly fifty years, and his life has
been one of unblemished purity, always
scorning everything mean and unmanly.
There is nothing fierce or hayward in his ma
ture; on the contrary, his life has been serene
and equitable, temperate and prudent. His
long aud honorable career has put into his
hands that mysterious power called weight
of character, which is rare in this communi-
ty, and most essentially necessary for the
welfare of al communities. He has that
ripeness of age and experience, that disinter-
estedness of motive, that calmness of mind,
and that venerableness Of appearance which
gives confidence to the people. Men who
have known him from boyhood, old citizens
and new corners look up to him with rev.
erence and respect his gray hairs. Four years
ago the people of Shelby inaugurated what
was called reform movement J. j. Raw
lngs announced himself candidate for
county trustee. He was nominated
by the Democratic and Con-
servatlye convention. The canvass
was full of bitterness and excitement, and
after full discussion of the merits of the
two candidates the people Of Shelby county
expressed their confidence in j. ]. Rawlings
bV the following vote:
General r. T. Patterson = ................ 500
Rawlings maioritJ. ..... 1890
For two years Mr.. Rawlings faithfully dis
charged his duties-so great were his r.
sponsibilities that he was required to give a
bond for nearly half a million of dollars.
After two years service Mr.. Rawlings was a
candidate for reelection. He was again
nominated, and at the August election, two
years ago. so great was his popularity that
he had no regular opposition. For the last
two years he has discharged the duties of his
Office with TIT same honesty, impartiality
and fidelity. Six weeks ago Mr. Rawlings
was again nominated by his party without
opposition, so great was his popularity and
so acceptable had been his official career. A
few weeks ago a mongrel nomination was
made, and since then Mr.. Rawlings has been |
slandered and maligned with a beastly |
rufhanism. He is not charged with dishon- |
esty, or with violating the law, but has been |
slandered and traduced because he has |
enforced the law and faithfully dis |
charged his sworn duties, which he could not |
violate without perjury. Nor is this ALL On
wednesday night Mr.. Rawlings attended a
Democratic meeting, to which he had been
inH ted With the modesiy so characteristic
OF Ai- quiet, unobtrusive and blameless life
