sire to obtain some concession from
the Moors before that body meets.

THE SEED COTTON FIGHT

The cotton gins opened out yester-
day and between them turned out two
dozen handsome bales of the heecy
staple, all made from freshly gathered
cotton hauled in by the farmers in the
vicinity Of the city. To-day they we're
at it again, though it is said less ac
lively than yesterday owing to cotton
coming in less freely, all because the
Honorable Johnson's pickets are
worrying or trying to bulldoze the
cotton growers. 1t is authoritatively
stated that the cotton gin owners in
this city have employed eminent coun-
sci and they mean business. They are
prepared to fight this question to the
bitter end, and in this fight they have
the sympathy of nine-tenths of the
entire community exclusive of board of
health pay drawers The attorneys,
with Judge w. S. Flippin in the van,
are prepared to defead every farmer
in the courts free Of all cost to the
aforesaid farmer. In the minds of
the gin men, the merchants and the
attorneys, there is neither justice or
reason in this cotton prohibition or
der known as No. G" and all who
may wish to come to the city with
seed cotton to be ginned and baled
need have no fear of incurring cent
of law costs The odious road pick
cts may attempt to intimidate or give
annoyance, but measures are in pro-
gress to checkmate even this trouble.
The farmers are therefore invited to
bring in their seed cotton.

He Battles for RrnmI,Ie.

In the reply of the acting president
of the Howards to Matthew Bran

that organization, as it appeared lately
in a morning paper, "Paddy-go- -Aisy''
is brought before the public in man
ner calculated to impress it otherwise
than favorably toward the gentleman
who has so often defended the people
over the above nom de plume.
1t has been our pleasure to be
acquainted with "Paddy-go- -Aisy" for
nearly twenty years in this city, and
know that whether through the press,
on the hustings, or in the city's halls
of legislation he has ever been the
same unAinching, uncompromisiug
opponent of and enemy to corruption
and imbecility in our city government.
Unaided, for a time, he battled
successfully against the lreighting
company monopoly which attempted
to wipe out the rights of the working
people, and leave the merchants at the
mercy Of the chartered sharks. His
opposition to the issuance Of city
bonds, funding schemes and paving
jobs has secured for him the lasting
gratitude of the people, His writings
have ever been in favor of right and
justice, regardless of the influence in
the quarter from whence the oppo,
sition came.

John as a Shooter.

San Francisco Bulletin.l
1t is growing custom on the part of
the Chinese to go on the tops of the
houses which they occupy and fire off
their pistols. Recently they have, on
several occasions, been discovered in
that pleasant pastime. Firearms are
new things to most of these people.
They have no idea what becomes of
the ball when it is discharged. Prob.
ably, as they do not see it, they think
lit penetrates the vault OF heaven it.
self. But the missile describes some
parabola and goes through some win
dow, lodges on some roof or wounds
or kills some individual. This danger.
GUS practice is the explanation of the
stray bullets which from time to time
have been found flying about this
town. Already one man has been slain
outright by them. Several persons
have also been more or less seriously
wounded. Balls have come whistling
through panes of glass. They have
lodged in pillows near the heads of
sleeping women. They have injured
persons on platforms of street cars.
For time it was supposed they were
fired by mischievous boys with air
guns, because the report could not be
heard. But when the frequent refer
ence to it in the press brought no
relief it was evident enough that the
ehootin1 vras hain0 Jono h., ,,or4;,.
whom journalism does not reach. The
Chinese being the only class in that
condition, suspicion for a long time
pointed toward them. Now, in sew.
eral cases, the facts have been brought
home to them. Whenever they are in
warlike feIvor, they blaze away from
the roofs where they dwell. The balls
travel a long distance, especially if
fired from an elevation, and no explo-
sion is therefore heard where they
strike.

Child Burned 10 Death-NegrO
Hung 20 "a Tree.

PADUoAH, KY, September PA
negro child was accidentally burned
to death at the residence of Mrs. Penn,
in Ballard county, last Saturday.
Last Thursday, at Union City, a
negro named Buck Mailing attempted
to commit a rape on Daisy Dean, seven
years old, daughter of Thomas Dean.
He was frightened off before his object
was accomplished. The citizens be-
came excited, and secured the country
in pursuit of him. He was caught at
Fulton station, aud taken back to
Union City, where he was tried and
held for his appearance at the Circuit
Court. Monday evening the sheriff
started with him to the Troy Jail.
Before the prisoner reached Troy he
was taken from the sheriff by party,
headed by the father of the child who
was outraged, and hung to the nearest
tree.

NOTICE TO ABSENTEES.

MEMPHIS, September 20, 1879.
EREQUENT applications being made 10
Il the Board Of Health and Superintendent
Of Quarantine by absentees from here to re-
turn, we deem it best to make this public an
nouncement, that, though the number of new
cases Of yellow fever and deaths are small
and perceptibly on the decline, it would not
be safe for those who have not had the dis
ease to return yet.
The comparativeS small number of new
cases and deaths is due to the fact that there
are so few unacclimated people here.
Those who have had the fever and wish to
return will be permitted to do so, and will
be furnished a certificate to that effect on ap-
plication to the Superintendent Of Quaran-
tine. None others will be permitted to enter
Memphis before it is officially announced by
the Board Of Health that it is thought there
is no longer danger from the infection, which
will be done at the earliest possible day.

The Cunning Chinese.

San Francisco Chronicle.l
A new Chinese trick has been dis
covered. A few days since, ON the
arrival of a vessel from Honolulu,
containing several cases of shoes that
had been shipped to that port by some
Chinese house in San Francisco and
sent back condemned by the con
signees, the custom house officials
were curious to know the cause, and
this curiosity prompted them to open
the cases, when an ingenious plan was
discovered to smuggle opium into that
port through the heels of the con
demned shoes. The heels, at a
glance, appeared natural and properly
made, but by pulling out a nail or two
and removing one thickness Of leather,
a hole occupying nearly the whole size
of the heel was found, in which opium
had been placed to introduce into the
Hawaiian market. The condemned"
business was part OF the programme,
and the shoes were returned, evident
ly to be reloaded and forwarded again
to that port.
