NEGRO FIFE NDS.
They Beat Two Boys and Dangerously
Wound One.

At half past O'Clock yesterday morning two
white boys named Frank Custer and John Sci
bert were assslled in the cattle yard at the Chat
tanoogs Railroad Depot by three negroes, one of
whom was named G.. Russell and beaten SO
terribly that one of their lives is despsired
OF. 1t appears the two boys had authority to go
into the cattle yard and gather some lumber, and
while they were thus employed the three negroes
put in an appearance and ordered them to desist
from carrying off the lumber. The two boys
declined TO obey their demands, and for the re-
fusal the negroes beat them with pieces OF plank
Custer received three cuts in the back of the
head, one over the ear on the side of the head,
while at the same time they mashed his nose,
Seibtrt was more fortunate, and csc tped with
q painful wound behind the head. seibert was
sent to his residence, and Custer was taken to
the Charity Hospital.
Russett, one of the accused was arrested and
locked up in the Hsrbor Station. His two pals
made their escape.

The Pan-Angltean Conference.

New York Times: The Lambeth confer
ence of Anglican bishops is now engaged,
through its special committees, In consider
ing the leading questions which were to come
before it. The general conference will be re-
sumed on Tuesday, July 23d, when the whole
body of bishops will receive and discuss the
reports of their various committees. All the
discussions will close Friday evening, July
26th, and on Saturday, July 27th, the closing
service will be held in ST. Paul's cathedral.
The representation from the English colonial
dioceses is excellent in quality and variety,
and many home bishops In England, among
them DIR. Thomson, the archbishop of York,
who persistently staid away from the confer
ence of 1867, are ready and glad to take
part in the present deliberations. In all the
preliminary arrangements the American bish-
ops have been treated With marked courtesy.
Bishop Coke preached the sermon at Canter-
bury when the primate of all England re-
celved his brother bishops, and addressed
them from his seat in the ancient marble
chair of the cathedral. Bishop Stearns, of
Pennsylvania; Bishop Little John, of Long
Island, and Bishop Bedell of Ohio, took lead
ing parts In the anniversary OF the venerable
''Society for Propagation of the Gospel" and
Episcopal junketing has been going on at a
brisk rate ever since the conference was
opened. The visiting bishops occupy the
chief London pulpits during the Sundays
which fall within the time assigned for the
meeting, and every effort is being made to
use the ecclesiastical dignitaries as the mo-
mentary lions of the metropolis while they
are within reach. Nothing can be known

When our merchants, through the freight
committee, wrote to the president OF the ST.
Louis packet company, denouncing the
wrong and injustice perpetIated by that COM
pany in their Memphis freight charges, they
founded the accusation on that company's
scale of charges as published in the st. Louis
Republican, publication confirmed by bills
of lading received by themselves. That Off
cial, in his reply, slid: "The discrimination,
if any against your city, is in the fact that we
are now charging you the same rate as to
Helena and points below to New Orleans"
70 charge point four hundred miles below
st. Louis the same rate as is charged another
point twelve hundred miles below is discrimi
nation, but the statement is not correct. AS
the st. Louis Republican table showed, Mem
phis was charged more than New Orleans.
But the president Of the company mockingly
tells the committee that he is surprised that
gentlemen of their age and experience"
should believe newspaper statements, so it
may be well to show the correctness of the
newspaper, Notwithstanding the criticism, by
reference to another st. Louis publication, the
st. Louis Merchants Exchange Price Cur
rent, of Thursday, July Is, 1873, the very
same date as that borne by the presidents re-
ply to the committee. The publication has

Political Assessments.

Washington correspondence of the New
\ Jrk Herald: One of the chief offic ais of the
interior department takes exception to the
charge in the Herald that the list of clerks in
that department, with their salaries, had
been furnished to the Republican executive
committee to facilitate assessments for cam
paign money. He says that the government
blue-book was the source from which the
committee got its information. But it hap
pens that the lists In the blue-book are nearly
year old, and do not contain the names of
hundreds of persons since employed IN the
departments, and who received the commit
tees letter IN common with the older en-
ployes The same official Is authority for a
denial, in one of the local papers, this even
ing, that the supplementary assessment cir
cular of the Republican committee was dis
tributed among any of the clerks of the In
terror department by a messenger in the EN-
ploy of the government, as was stated in a
Washington dispatch published in Mondays
Herald. He says positively that the circular
was not distributed among the clerks in the
department building, but reached them
through the regular channel of the local mail
delivery. Further inquiry fully sustains the
accuracy of the HerGLd's statement. There
can be no doubt of the fact-important or I'M
important, as it may be-that a messenger
employed in the Office of the chief clerk of
the patent Office was detailed last Saturday
to distribute these dunning circulars. The
additional inquiry made by the Herald cor
respondent shows that the circulars sent to
the patent Office employees were first taken to
the city postotfice and there stamped in the
regular way. and, instead of being delivered
by the carriers, as In case of the original as
sessment circular, were handed back to the
committee by the postofice authorities, and
taken IN bulk to the patent Office, where they
were delivered by one of the official messen-
gels The fact of this transaction can be
substantiated by scores of the unfortunate
ing operation.

DOUBTS AND DIFFICULTIES.

The church has generally had jealous
feeling toward the spread of knowledge, and
has still an uneasy suspIciousness about sci
-enti6c investigation. This Is an unfortunate
attitude for the church to occupy, for the
events of the past three hundred years have
indisputably proved that wherever research
demonstrates fact, that fact will be accept
ed, and with it all the consequences follow
ing its admission. This is the case, spite Of
anything the church may say to the contrary;
and it is right that it should be so, for those
who are engaged in scientific research speak
with authority on the point. But the church
not being engaged In that research, speaks
without authority. The opinion of the
church upon any geological or biological fact
is Of no more weight than the opinions of the
geologists upon the mode of baptism. These
facts being admitted, are we entitled
to assume that christianity is
false, because it clashes with some
things taught by the church, and fatty con-
tradiets others? This is a momentous ques-
ton, and one which thousands are putting to
themselves at the present time. Many hon.
est-minded persons find themselves in di
lemma- Truth they are determined to fol-
low, lead where it may; but to give up the
sweet hope of Immortality, the happy de-

RAIN IN THE HEART.

The following lines were found by Con
ederate soldier in a deserted house on the
Peninsula, Virginia:
Into each life some rain must fall.''
If this were ali, oh! IL this were all,
That Into each life some rain must fall,
There were fainter sobS in the poets rhyme,
There were fewer wrecks on the shore of time.
But tempests of woe pass over the soul,
Since winds of anguish we cannot control,
And shock after shock we are called TO bear,
Till the lips are white with the hearts despair.
The shores of time with wrecks are strewn,
Unto the ear comes ever moan
Wrecks of hopes that set sail in glee,
Wrecks of love sinking silently.
Many are hid from the human eye,
Only God knoweth how deep they lie;
Only God heard when arose the cry
" Help me to bear-oh! help me to de-
" Into each life some rain must fall"
If this were ALL oh If this were all.
Yet, there's refuge from storm and blast;
Gloria Pdtri.'' we'll reach ii at last.

The pearl in the wounded she'll doth lie;
Days of sunshine are given to all,
Tho Unto each life some rain must fall

GRAND RALLY AT BARTLETT.

On next Thursday, the twenty-ffth instant,
a grand Democratic barbecue and rally will
be given at Bartlett Many distinguished
speakers will be present. Extensive prepar-
atoms have been made, and it is safe to say
that it will be one of the largest meetings
held in Shelby county for years. Bartlett
was the birthplace of the movement which
secured the nomination of the ticket four
years ago that was elected by a majority of
over four thousand. The present ticket is as
worthy of support as was the Bartlett ticket.
The convention which grew out of the Bart
lett movement nominated G. L. Anderson,
J. J. Rawlings and N. c. Perkins, and we
would ask what have they done to forfeit the
confidence of people who elected them by
msjority of over four thousand? They have
made model officers, and they and the whole
ticket should be Endorsed by the people. Very
seldom will the people of Shelby county have
an opportunity of attending a public gather
ing comparable with the Bartlett meet
ing next Thursday, for num-
bers, for enthusiasm, and for earnestness.
Let everybody attend the grand rally and
barbecue. The cause, the ticket, everything
demand that the people should make an ex-

traordinary effort for success. As goes the
August election, so will the November con-
test. The results at stake are too momen-
tous to permit even a thought of defeat.
But victory is only to be achieved by labor,
by constant study and persistent work. The
people of Bartlett, with their characteristic
liberality, have made arrangements for the
entertainment Of ten thousand people.
