II The BsHetis's remarks about Severance Orili-
nances, remind of little story. Some weeks
ago, We received notice from the City Clerk that
bids would be received until certain day, for pub
fishing this ordinances of that city, for the ensuing
year. We put in our bid; and when the time came
for deciding, it was the only bid in, and sufi-
GENTLY low to satisfy all reasonable men. Then q
hummer for the Bnietis moved that the decision DO
postponed month, because Bridges had no bid in,
that he might have another chance to bid. In the
meantime, care was taken to inform him what our
bid was, to enable him to 20 under it. The amount
of this printing for whole year will be mere pit
tance, but this operation shows hightoped system
of doing business. When put in another bid for
Severance printing, it will be when Birman wood
comes to Dunsinane.

A TEMTEEr IN A TEA PoT.-.phila--
delphia is i'll a ferment over the out
rageous conduct of one Charles
Meyer, German Consul at the
aforesaid city. Meyer at dinner
OF a German s''ciety in Philadelphia,
spoke derisively Of the United States
Government, the people, and our
cherished institutions. Another Ger.
man official of lower grade made
similarly injurious remarks, and the
twain drank confusion TO our beloved
Republic; all of which is calculated
to stir,a fever in the blood of age,
and make the American infants sin-
ews strong as steel. 1t is proposed
to bring Meyers speech to the at
tention Of the State Departme"t
with q view Of his immediate recall.
If MIR. Meyer has publicly said what
is attributed to him, his own Gov
ernmenr will quietly lead him out

Masonic Assistance.

3 . I =. 4 .
The Memphis Avalanch, of the
10Th January says: Yesterday, Mr..
Tom Cole was tried before Esquire
Elliott for the killing OF james Reed,
which occurred last December 18th.
There were a dozen or more State
witnesses, who gave such testimony
that the magistrate did not deem is
necessary to hear any witnesses for
the defence and discharged the pri--
soner Immediately. The story Of
the killing has been published be-
fore, and it will be interesting TO
give the circumstances as detailed
by the witnesses.
1t seems Tom Cole and Jas. Reed
had a difficulty atthe grocery on the
Horn Lake road, kept by man
named Williams, only few miles
South of the city. Friends inter-
tered and the affair was quieted,
Cole giving up his pistol. Shortly
afterward Reed commenced quarels
ling again, snd wound up by grasp~
ing the inoAensive Cole by the throat
and drawing and raising over Lis
head a huge bowie knife. Cole
seized his hand and said. II am your
friend, don't cut me-" Again by
standers interfered and Reed started
home; but drunken brute ofa friend
cried out to him, "Jim, if you are
a coward 60 bone and 90 to bed,
but if you are man show it and cut
his liver ont of him." Poor Reed
was weak enough to listen to- the
drunken advice and again assaulted
Cole, doing his utmost to cut his
throat. Cole could not stand this
attack unarmed as he was, and, it is
said, he gave the Masonic sign OF
dire distress. Suddenly two pistol
shots were heard and Reed fell dead.
The bullets pierced the breast of the
unfortunate man and he died almost
Immediately. None of the witnesses
could say who fired theeshot and
Coles lips wore sealed on the mat
ter. The theory of the Attorney, Ct.
P. III. Turner, was that either some
friend had quickly handed pistol
to Cole and that he had shot the man
who was choking him and threatens
ing his life, or that some friend Of
Coles, seeing his imminent peril,
had sent the threefold aggressor to
his long home. Cole was assured
that be was perfectly justifiable if he
had done the killing, but no assur-.
ance could make him open his mouth
on the matter.
Esquire Elliott said he saw no
grounds upon which to commit the
accused, but that he, as a magistrate
of the law, was compelled to tako
notice Of the fact that in the earlier
part Of the evening Cole had q pis-
tol, and he therefore bound him
over for carrying concealed weap-
ons. -.
