| DIscoRD AMONG TIE orc SrIFvs. The
project of having a Carson booth At tn.
Pioneer Fair has fallen through. The matte,
was agitated about week ago and every body
seemed in favor of it. Then little colo
| water began to fall on it from this quarter ard
! hat, it increased to smart shower, after
which-the deluge 1t looks as if the antaget
nistic feeling which has so long existed be
tween Carson and Virginia City is really as
far from quiet settlement as ever. It seems
to have began when the Entire Meas and the
Az Fats crossed social swords at ball about
II year ago. Then Carson sent the Color
Guard troupe up to the Comstock and 1t was
badly patronized. Then local Comstock
troupe came down here and Carson let it
severely alone. Then the 4th Of July cele-
bration added tlel 20 the Rlmes Of discomfort
and the Grant reception made the
Comstockers mad. These petty annimos-
Ties are bad all round and reflect
40 credit either city. The best way to
settle the trouble is to have a big joint con-
solidated fair at some bare spot in the lnous-
tains midway between the Two towns and let
everybody take hand, smoke the pipe of
peace, drink social glass composed of Com
stock and Carson beer mixed half and half
Farmer Tread aay says he takes no stock in
the row, but is going up to the fair to sing
some Of those old soul inspiring melodies of
40 which are ust stuffed with musical nutri-
rent Such songs bring tears to the eyes of
the listeners, but whether from the memory
of old associations or regret that the singer
lives it is not for the APPEAL to say. After
the cheerful agricultuIist has warbled in
National Guard Hall it would be no more
han fair for Bill Gibson to come down here |
and sing some of those touching dities which |
MIA varied and delicate shading of cadence and |
,resendo has 80 popularized with the masses. !
The only thing against Tread and Glib. is the /
act that they never can ell q house, because |

Gov. Blackburn Again.

The editor of the Lexington (Ky.)
Transcript, a Democratic paper, had
the temerity to say recently in his
paper, that
Gall the deeds of a lifetime, we're
they all good and successful, cannot
Justify people in indorsing for their
highest Office q man guilty of what
Is charged against one DR.. Luke P.
Blackburn, to whom the newspapers
have SO often referred. In the name
Of all that is good, let DR.. Blackburn
say something in defense Of himself" ="
After theappearance Of the editor
ial the stockholders ofthe Transcript
waited upon the editor in a body
and demanded either that he should
make no further reference to the
subject, or should resign disposition,
and he resigned.
The Louisville Commercial, a Re
publican paper, has taken the matter
up, and is making it warm for the
Governor. It is reported that he
recently said to a friend, who called
his attention to the yellow fever
charges, that they were unworthy
the DOtica of q oentleman and that
he did not intend to notice them.
Unless we are greatly mistaken, be
will find that this course will not
satisfy anybody Of his innocence. If
he is not guilty, why does he not
say so and demand an Investigation?
Silence IN this case is looked upon
by most unprejudiced people, as a
tacit confession Of guilt.

An AtrOeiOus OUTRAGE.

The saloon and hotel at Wester-
vile, Franklin county,. about y
miles from Columbus, was blown up
on Sunday night before last, and al
most entirely destroyed. The ex-
plosion is supposed to have been
caused by gunpowder, as two kegs
were missing from one of the stores
in the village. Corbin and his fam
ily, who were asleep in the house,
miraculously escaped with slight in
juries, though how they did so is a
mystery, as they all fell into the
cellar, with the ruins of the house.
Mr.. COrbin's loss is about S25OO :;
and the residence and furniture of
Mrs. Barkefer, adjoining Corbin's S,
were also damaged to the amount of
about $4,000. All the houses on the
square were more or less injured,
Mr.. Knox, a druggist, having a plate
glass window broken, worth S125.
Corbin's saloon has been a great
nuisance for several years, and the
people have made many efforts to
suppress it, but the leading Temper
ance citizens all disavow any krOwl-
edge of or completely in the explo-
sion, and we cannot believe that any
respectable people would instigate
or excuse such an atrociOus outrage.
Although Corbin has no doubt vio-
lated the law, and injured the peace
and welfare of the community, by
carrying on his nefarious business,
still this furnished no excuse for the
eowardly attempt to destroy him
and his family, and every true friend
of the Temperance cause viii join in
denouncing the perpetrators of the
outrage, and hoping that they may
be discovered and punished as they
deserve.

The Memphis Avalanche, Dem)
'sfrom a private letter to a gentleman
in this city from YazoO City" takes
the following declaration of H. NJ.
Dixon:
81 was walking down street, near
Housemarie's saloon, and the first
thing I knew I was shot. Wheeling
around I saw guns pointing at me
from every direction, and I turned
and ran up a stairway, when jim
BarksdaIe shot me in the back, hav-
ing already broken my wrist. I
reached the stairs and fell. I then
drew my pistol and with one hand
holding to the steps, fired my pistol
with the hand that had the broken
wrist and broken finger. The attack
was wholly unprOvoked on my part.
I denounce as a base lie that I bad
plotted the assassination of Barks-
dale. I wish jim Barksdale was
here to see how brave man can
die.
Dixon had all accomplishments Of
the average Southern gentleman,
and one of his enemies said that be
could shoot a pigeons head off with
a pistol at a hundred yards. Hence
it was strictly necessary to disable
him at the first fire, or his assailant
would get hurt. So he was first shot
in the right arm and wrist, and had
no chance to defend his life. His
murderer used a shotgun at long
range, and fred load of buck-shot
into Dixon without warning.
1t will be remembered that Dixon
was opposing the Democratic party,
and that his end had been predicted |
by five hundred Democrats who
called upon him with arms in their
hands and forced him to sign a card |
Withdrawing from the contest for
Sheriff This is the Democracy Of
the Nation. The Solid South is
