MEMPHIS, April Is, 1878.
l have baen frequently asked why l
did not announce my name as a candi-
date for reelection to the Office Of county
trustee. l bad a reason for deferring
any public notice. Under the law prior
to 1876 my tax books for 1876 should
have been settled up last October, the
act of the Legislature postponing the col
lection Of taxes to the 10th Of October,
1877, postponing the settlement Of 1875
taxes to the fourth Monday in March,
1878. l have now completed my settle.

The law in its wisdom ELECTS some Of

some enly two. Mice happens to be

to say. My constituents are far better
judges of that than ! am. The law rela-
tive to tax-colleetors is very stringent
aud very exacting; the oaths are binding

ter past 9 o'clock.
WHO PALMER is.
The man who in all probability com,
mitted this brutal murder is well known
in Atlanta, and about as u~nfavorable as
in Columbus. He graduated at the At
lsnta Medical College a few years ago,
and was then . very well behaved fellow,
he came from q good family and de
ported himself very well.
After he returned to Alabama he be-
came wild and dissipated, and was en-
gagged in several scrapes besides those
above enumerated. He has for several
years past been regarded as a hard case
and q dangerous man. He returned to
Atlanta last Christmas to marry a young
lady then q resident here, aud a night or
two after be arrived went into a gam
bling den, and lost about seventy dollars,
all the money he had. Next day be tried
to borrow forty dollars from several gen.
tlomen here, and at last tried to pawn
his watch for that sum. Failing in all
these endeavors he attempted suicide,
Swallowing a huge dose Of lsudsnum, aud
coming very near to the accomplishment
of his wishes, He was worked with hour
after hour by DR.. Drake aud DR.. Tom
Gardner, Of this city, and by their efforts
saved him. After bis recovery he mar
ried Miss Kate Immsl, sister OF Mrs A
st, Clair Abrshams, and a daughter Of
an old ante bellum citizen.
Palmer then went to Brownsville, Ala,
his home, and we heard of him no more
until this terrible affair 10 which he so
prominently figures. The following spe-
cial telegram was received by the Consti-
tuition last night:
