WITH PISTOLS.
A Dangerous Habit Produces Probably
Fatal ResuIts-A bad Case OF
Accidental Shooting.

Yesterday morning at eight o'clock, Will
liam w. iercy,aged twenty-four accidentally
shot himself at the residence of his mother,
Mrs. Marsh, who lives at No. 16 Pontotoc
street. The young man had been somewhat
unwell for two or three days. When the
family were at breakfast the report of pis-
tol startled them. Rushing up stairs, Will
liam w. Piercy, Mrs. Marsh SON by form
er husband, was found lying in bed, his shirt
bosom on fire and his breast saturated with
blood. A smoking derrlnger pistol lay on the
bed near by. In carelessly handling an old
derringer pistol which had been placed there
on retiring, young Percy had accidentally
discharged the weapon. The ball struck him
in the left breast, and ranged downward
through his lung, where it lies imbedded,
producing what is probably a mortal wound.
DR.. James w. Vance, one of our leading sur
geons, was Immediately sent for and the
usual remedies were administered. The young
man Is printer by trade, and was regarded as
quite an exemplary youth. He explained the
accident by stating that he took the pistol
from under the pillow and thought it was but
half cooked. The pistol, however, was at
full cock, and accidentally fred with the
above result. Late last night Mr.. Percy was
resting easy, but his attending physician, DIR.
Vance, regarded his recovery as doubtful.
LATER-About one o'clock this morning
Mr.. Percy died of his wounds. The an
nouncement of his death and funeral notice
appears In another column.

What they Can Mix and What they Can

The proprietors of st. Louis hotel lately
addressed a letter to the United States col

regard to mixed liquors, and the following is
the reply, which will be read with interest by
all saloon keepers:
UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE,
COLLECTORS OFFICE, FIRST DIST. MISSOURI,
ST, LOUIS, June %, 1878. !
GENTLEMEN-As / understand the rul-
ings of the internal revenue depart

liquor, no matter how small the quantity, by
retail or other LIQUOR dealers, except as they
may mix them at the time to be at once drank
over their counters by customers, will consti-

purpose of converting the legislature
in extra session to pass upon whatever
report should be made After the return of
the legislative committee, there was no time
for its consideration, and it was generally un-
derstood by members OF the legislature and
the public that the question was adjourned to
an extra session. About one-third of the
members of the house, representing the farm
ers of that body, united In a written request
to me not to convene the legislature earlier
than September or October. The only oppo-
sition | could find came from parties who
wanted confidence in the disposition of the
legislature TO make settlement. Understand
me, do not avoid the responsibility of call
ing the Legislature together. l stand by the
act, and believe In its wisdom, and only re-
greet that an adjustment of the debt was not
made. | am clear in the belief that our finan-
clal condition is the great barrier to prosper
lty. 1t has destroyed State and municipal
and seriously affected individual credit
abroad, and has broken down all
confidence at home The banks and
individuals who hold money, lock their vaults
and refuse all accommodations to the bor-
rover under the belief that, when public OBJ
legations are disregarded, a scheme will be
devised by which individual contracts will be
ignored and avoided with the same facility.
This want Of confidence has locked up mil
lions of currency, which, if it could he placed
In circulation, would go very far toward the
relief of the people of Tennessee The
holder of even idle and unemployed money
esteems it now as more valuable than any
species of property, and he cannot be ex-
pected to change his opinion so long as the
tenure of property is made doubtful by dis
regard of obligations. Public opinion is fixed
upon one point-not to exceed an additional
levy of thirty cents, making the State tax
forty cents. This has been the pledge of the
Democracy for the past four years.
The special report of the comptroller,
made in December, 1877, shows that accord
ing to the present assessment, the tax
on property and merchants, at thirty
cents, will yield net revenue of
$714,046 40; add to this the cash income of
$4,000 derived from the lease of the peni-
Tertiary, with the revenue from railroad, tel
egraph and sleeping-car companies, we have
an ample margin, inside of which settle
ment can be made easily and acceptably to
all concerned. Of course, this will be bur-
densome to the taxpayer, but we owe the
debt, and debts are always troublesome and
never paid conveniently. 1t is well enough
for the people to understand that whatever
settlement is made money will be required to
meet the undertaking, and this money will
have to come from the pockets of the tax
payer of the State. have the honor to be,
very respectfully, JAMES D. PORTER.

OF QUARANTINE.
Protest by the Physicians OF the City
Against it's EstabIishment-Rea-
sons Therefor.

The following, which II be presented to
been handed US for publication:
MEMPHIS, June 30, l878.-The under
signed physicians would respectfully offer to
the honorable council our protest against tie
establishment of quarantine at this time,
and our objections to the same.
First-There is no proper or sufficient rea.
son for such. There Is no yellow fever In
New Orleans, or at any point below US, and
to do this at this season would at once arouse
suspicion and create alarm, which would be
most detrimental to the business interests of
Memphis.
Second-It would require the expenditure
of money which is more urgently demanded
to abate nuisanceS in the city. The present
budget Is insufficient for a well-regulated
sanitary department. More funds will be
needed as the hot weather advances, and
much more than the city can afford, or will
allow. A salaried officer must be employed
in sinecure position without giving value re-
ceived.
Third-A quarantine is without proper pro-
lection unless the depets of all railroads be
guarded, which can only be done at an addi-
tlonal cost, and then very Intellectually.
The trouble and annoyance to the boating
interests will be insupportable, and quaran-
tine should only be enforced when immediate
and urgent danger is known to exist below
US. For these most cogent reasons we pro-
test against quarantine at this time, as I'M
necessary, expensive and detrimental to pub
l.
