THE following interesting news.
paper items, we clip from the Nom
phis Avalanche of the 2Sth. ult:
"In New Orleans Thursday, Ma.
jah He.rsey OF the Democrat and
Majah Bigney OF the City Item,
who had been bomDardlng eacl,
other with paper bullets, met on
the street, when the Democrats :
Majah struck the Items Majah with
u cane. the latter having already
declined to fight duel. Bigney
took away the cane, knocked Hear.
sey down and kicked hun in the
back. Bystandcrs soon intcriercd.'
"The tOrrij wave struck the
Huntsville, Alabama, newspaper
establishments the other day. Edi
tor Coleman, OF the Independent,
and editor Brittln, ofthe Advocate,
ended q war of words IN their re.
spective journals by an appeal to
the code. Mr.. Coleman sent and
Mr.. Brit,in accepted challenge,
but before their amiahle intentions
could bs carried out the authorities
stepped in. Then cooler heads
took the matter in charge, and the
trouble was settled by the with.
drawal Of all offensive personalities
on either side"
The torrid wave also struck Ar.
kansas: J. G. Crenshaw, editor OF
the Brinkley Times and Col. John
B. Baxter, enjoyed q little "per
sonai journalism" In the BrinkIey
post Office last week, and for once
il wss decided that the war club
was " mighuer than the pen," and
Major renshaw has been nursing
his bead ever since.

Ma. HAYs PICKETT Dear Sir
Yours of the 9th. inst., at hand. ]
regret very much that this duty Is
upon me. never like 10 speak OF
a man in such a manner as would
iniure him and especially where its
likely to be q lasting injury; yet u
mans public record belongs to the
people, and the people have a right
to il therefore rs | am called upon
! will only give you what l know
about Mr.. RatclifYe. When the Bill
was pending in the Legislature for
the creation of Lee county, In 1873,
l was q member, and was the author
of the same. 1t passed the House,
and went to the Senate, Of which
Mr.. Ratcliffe was \ member. II had
been In the Senate before, and Mr..
Ratclife had voted against it. This
time Col. Zeb. Ward went to sec
Mr.. Ratcliffe to get his support TO
the Bill. Mr.. Ward wanted some
Legislation for the Penitentiary,
and wanted my support; thus he
went to see Mr.. Ratcliffe for me.
lie had his price and was paid the
money by parties there Interested
in tho Bill. After the Bill passed,
(Mr. Ratchffe voting for iD, he, Mr..
RatclIffe, moved to reconsider the
vote, which would lay over until
next day, II he 50 desired. Then }
was told that Mr.. Ratcliffe wanted
to get in another "squecze" upon
the Bill. Col. Ward told me that
he went to Ratclitfe, told HIM he
had been bought and paid for, and
il he did not stick to that Bill he
would cut his d-m ears of. Rat
cliffe stuck TO her. This Is all that
] know about the matter. 1 never
paid him q cent, never saw him
paid cont, but ] know that parties
paid out money, and they told Inc
that they paid Mr.. Ratcllffe either
one or two hundred dollars. | did
not handle the funds myself, but
refused to do 80. ] did tell them
where II could be used, and they
used it.
Hoping ! have done my duty in
this matter, with no intention of
doing any one any harm.
l am very respectfully
your obedient servant,
