Editor Oyangeba,y Democrats
On the 9Th instantSit was anhodnc:
ed by Messrs. I'll. ,Dantzler and "a.
p. Avinger that there would be fish
fry and May party on the 9th instant
at Prospect Landing on santee River
few miles from Yances' Ferry. The
party was given in honor of DR.. j.
II. Avinger and family, who are here
on visit to their old home, and who
are about to return to Texas, their
present home. This is the first visit
the Doctor has paid his native coun-
ty in eleven years, and his many
freinds adopted this method of ,esti-
flying their esteem and respect Tor
him. The morning Of the 9th was
bright and pleasant, and the good
people Of this vicinity at an early
hour were gathered at Prospect
q beautiful landing OH Santee River,
its natural beauty having been great
ly improved by MIR. I'll, Dantzler,
at considerable expense. Shade and
cool limpid water, together with the
high banks covered with dense fores,
in the background, and the beautiful
river in front made it place we'll
suited for such an occasion, and
many heart will carry in long after
years the fond remclubrances that
tranSpired here. At eleven O'clock
Captain T. j. Foster, commanding
the handsome steamer Louisa, sound :
ed his whistle and was soon made
fast 1T the landing, and when Mr.. A.
D. Avinger made known TO the gal
liant Captain that the ladies wished
an excursion up the river he politely
invited all on board and steamed up
the river TO Pinckney's Landing,
some ten miles. The Captain did all
in his power to make all happy, and
think he succeeded admirably, and
there never was assembled as many
happy souls on one boat on Santce
river before as were those on the
Louisa. At two o'clock we returned,
all wishing Captain Foster and the
Louisa a long and prosperous career.
Dr.. Avinger extended to the Captain
in few and very appropriate re-
marks the thanks of the ladies and
gentlemen, and cordially invited him
to partake of the many good things
prepared for this occasion. but the
Captain asked TO be excused as bust
ness pressed him. Dinner was soon
announced, and after all were seated,
Rev. j. B. Platt asked a blessing.
and then came the tug Of war. And
such q quantity of the good things Of
life were never before spread upon
the banks Of the Santee. All felt a
heen appetite after the ride and am
pie justice to the occasion. After
dinner the young gents took their
dulccnG tlcheJaso in the old canoe in
pleasant rides across the river, and
when out on the stream the young
eXpectant heart would strike up some
favoritc song, which 7 have no doubt
sunk deep down in the heart Of her
sweetheart. At five o'clock n II took
leave of tho Doctor and his family
and returned to their respective
homes, all expressing themselves as
being highly pleased with the enjoy
ment Of the day. Time will never
erase the fond recollection of the
pleasant hours enjoyed at Prospect
on the 9th of May, 1879. d. ]. A..

TILDEN VERSUS FIELD.

Through an interview last week the
Hon. Samuel j. Tilden arraigned
Cyrus w. Field in reply to recent
charges of the latter, alleging bad
faith on the part Of the former in
certain business transactions wherein
the selling out of Elevated railway
stock by Tilden was the main trouble.
A letter from New York says the
interview bears all the marks of care
full preparation. AS a piece of per
sonal jnvective here and there, it is
Enthusiastically bitter, and what its
effect upon Mr.. Field is can only be
gathered from the vigorous expressions
of indignation one hears from his
friends. AS both gentlemen are law
yers, other people say it is about an
even match, Still it is a matter Of
regret that two eminent citizens, one
of whom is a candidate for the Presi-
dency of the United States, should
thus descend to the washing of So
much dirty linen and to an imitation
of the methods of the pot and the
kettle. People will begin to think
New York railroad jobbing is getting
to be about as disreputable thing as
New York politics, and, if the testi-
mony of the two eminent citizens as
to each others character is to be ac.
cepted as correct gauge of our most
respectable citizens, one cannot helE
thinking what a hard set the non
respectable ones must be. Perhaps
it is unnecessary to add that many
personal and political adherents of the
venerable statesman of Gramercy
Park are highly elated with this last
card of his, and they have no hesita.
tion in saying "it will send Tilden
stock up fifty per cent"

MEMPHIS, September 20, 1879.
EREQUENT applications being made 10
l. 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 comparatively small number of new
cases and deaths is due to the fact that there
are so few unaeolimated 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.

Hatchie river in the Western
District in the territory of the
United States south of the Ohio riv-
er" were conveyed in a single deed
registered on the sth of July 1895.
This was land Office for great
many years established by the State
of North Carolina. About the year
1851, by act of the legislature, many of
the records of the Office we're removed
to Knoxville, where they we're trans
ferred into other books for greater
convenience, and are doubtless to be
found yet. A few of the North
Carolina records of land grants, etc,
were left here, perhaps by accident.
They do not properly belong to the
office of the county register, though
they are in good hands and we'll pre-
served. Mr.. L. L. Poats, the present
register, takes great pride in these
and all of the records of his Office and
is very obliging to the wandering
journalist or curious investigator who
may desire to look through the treas
ured arches coming down from the
last century.
As this is the last of these Rogers
vile letters it is proper here to ex-
press a sense of gratitude and lasting
appreciation to the citizens of this
place for their uniform courtesy, sym
pathy and liberality toward Memphis
refugees Many good friends have
been found here who will not soon lie
forgotten. May prosperity, fortune
and length of days wait upon them.
Among the live institutions of the
place and of East Tennessee not here
tofore specially mentioned is the
Rogersville Female College, which
hourished long before the war. For
the last four years it has been under
the presidency and personal manage
ment of Rev. A. W. Wilson, AM, a
Presbyterian minister of fine scholar
ship and earnest Christian zeal, whose
life has been devoted mainly tc
the cause of education. He is q
native OF this section, was principa'
Of Westminster Select English anC
Classical School before the war and wai
on Longstreet's staff in the engineer
department during the fatal Eas
Tennessee campaign, and is one of tn,
few receiving the degree of AN. from
the ancient university of East Ten
nessee, who was not graduated there
Although scarcely forty-fve years o
age, he has few superiors in the Soutl
as man Of letters, whilst as a gontle
man, citizen, and practical educator
he is sans peur, ct sans reproche. NJ
flimsey scholarship is graduated under
his administration. Having taught
boys thoroughly for many years he
sets up the same high standard fol
girls and makes a lasting impress upor
the times. Thoroughness is the dis
tinguishing feature Of the institution
Professor Wilson is aided by compe.
tent corps Of teachers in the various
departments, and pupils are qualified
for the real and active duties of life
as in few of our modern institutions
of learning. This college is the very
opposite of so many that deceive pu-
pills, parents aud audiences with the
glitter of pretentious and superficial
accomplishments. AS such it will be
judged and stand the crucial test Of
criticism and comparison.
To good old Rogersville quaint,
hospitable, good hearted Rogersyille-
for the present adieu.

THE Philadelphia Times, in few
lines, hits the truth to nicely about
Mr.. Hayes Youngstown speech "As
political essay" says the Times, :" it
is elementary in the extreme; as a
partisan declaration, it is simply
vapid, and the reader is forced to one
of two conclusions-either that Mr..
Hayes political ideas are very vague
ly formed or else that his speech is a
disingenuous appeal to prejudices
which he knows are false. The speech
is not consistent with itself"
