A PERsECUTED L
The Reports of Yellow Fever
in Memphis.


Memphis Appeal 1t seems as il
the flesh and the devils of the whole
world are combined against Memphis
Our city is being hunted down like a
noble Stag pursued by furious blood.
hounds. She will pass through the
ordeal of adversely and rise to new
efforts and new triumphs, THUS den.
onstrating the brilliant future that
awaits her when she is free from
SANDER and the many difficulties she
is now encountering. The exactions
of remorseless creditors have forced
the people of Memphis to resort to
an alternative which has concentrated
upon our city public opinion and
elected much unfavorable comment,
The nan whose family has leen made
captives by the Indian savages is
never scrupulous as to the means by
which he rescues his wife and chill
dren from impending massacre, and
the people of Memphis care nothing
for this defamation, since the course
they have adopted was the only one
left by which TO save themselves and
their children from beggary ana
want. While our citizens care moth
ing for the abuse that has been heap
ed upon them, because they have
freed themselves from q taxation
which was Fastening them to ruin,
they do complain at the effort to in
jure Memphis by continually report
ing that yellow fever is still in the
city. A New York paper has a long
editorial showing that the germs of
the disease are still smouldering in
our midst like the fires of a volcano,
and so great is the poison that we
haye sporadic cases every week. Let
tiers daily received in this city show
that the atmosphere of the surroun-
ding country is infected with this
SANDER. The elimination of the
bodies of those who died with yellow
fever originated this report, as it is
believed that decayed animal matter
pollutes the atmosphere, and that the
exhumation of these bodies has made
the malady again contagious. The
mortuary reports published every
Sunday morning in the Appeal, by a
sworn Official, show that there is no
yellow fever in Memphis, and that
our city is as healthy as at the same
season during past years. 1t may be
silly to deny these falseh Gods, but we
shall continue to do SO, and refer the
public to the mortuary report for the
facts.

Horace Maynard's Return.

From the Knoxville Chronicle o.
Friday last: Hon. Horace Maynard
and wife arrived on yesterday morn
ing's train, and are guests of Mrs. f,
A. Reeve, their daughter. Their con
James, and daughter, Mrs Kidder, ac'
,compqnied them oil the voyage from
Constantipople, but remained in New
England, will possibly come to Knox
willie soon. 1t will be four years IL
April since Mr.. Maynard and family
left here for Constantinople, and thi,
is the first return. Ii seems quite nat
ural to see our distinguished and es'
teemed fe~llow-citizen once moro on ma
tive heath. He looks quite natural
though, if any difference, looks better
than when he left us. He met with q
hearty reception by many friends up
on his arrival. Mrs. Maynard, we arc
sorry to say however, is in very poor
daealth. She will not leave Knoxville
with Mr.. Maynard, who will remain
here a few weeks perhaps. Mrs May
nard brought with her a Turkish wo-
man servant, who will retnrn to Con
stantinople with Mr.. Maynard.

As will be seen elsewhere the Legis-
Iature has done nothing during the
past week of any interest. They have
been engaged in wrangling over the
State debt. The indications are that
reputation is what they are after. And
if that is what they really want just let
them leave il to a vote of the people.
Give men a chance to pay their debts
by putting a folded ticket in a ballot
box, and they will see how much ofthe
debt is paid. Wen agree TO pay all
the debt with a ten dollar bill that the

the State debt proper, amounting to
$2,l05, 900, and all the bonds issued
under and subsequent to the act of
1852 and subsequent acts, including
the funding acts. AS to
the nature and extent of the States
obligations, and as to the rest Of the
debt incurred by the State, they de-
clare that il there is any obligation it
is secondary. As to the cndorser as to

Alleged Solution of the New
Esraunfels Murder Mystery
Faust mot the Murderer,

The Luling Signal publishes the fol-
loving sensational statement, which
we think is of doubtful authenticity.
beavers will be remembered here,
having taught a class or two in music
in this place:
We learn by private information
that one M. A. Deavors, wandering
music teacher, who organized a class
in this city some two years ago, died a
few days since in one Of the counties
out west, and that on his death bed he
confessed to the murder of Miss Emma
Voelker and the wounding of Mrs.
Faust, at New Brauntels about B years
ago. Those of our readers who are
familiar with the circumstances of this
murder, will remember that the deed
was committed late one night while
the family were all absent except the
two women, who slept together in the
same room, and that the assassin crept
in and struck both with an ak, killing
Miss Voelker and badly wounding Dir,
Faust. The husband of the latter
was suspected as having committed
the crime in order to possess himself
Of his wife's property. and he was ac-
cordingly arrested, but before the law
could take its course he was brutally
shot to death by a mob while under
guard in the court house at New
Braunfels.
The confession of beavers shows
that Faust was innocent and that he
(Deavors) committed the deed in or
to rob the house.

This event, which has tor some
weeks been daily expected, took place
on Tuesday evening last, at the resi-
deuce Of his mother in Mountain City

home in this place short time pre-
vious. He was taken sick early in the
present year, Of pneumonia and mas
been severe sufferer ever since. sew
eral times he was thought to be IN q
fair way to recover. but as often these
fair promises proved deceptive.
Mr.. Manlove was young gentleman
of fine abilities and generous impulses
Although he had scarcely attained the
full maturity of his mental powers, he
was recognized as man Of mark. we
believe he completed his education at
some academy in Tennessee, studied
law at Austin under Gen. Shelley, and
was for a time one Of the editors OF
the State Gazette. He afterwards re-
moved to this place, and was our i'm
mediate predecessor in the publication
Of the FREE Press, then called the
Times. After selling out the paper he
gave his whole attention to the prac'
tice of law. He was elected and serV.
ed one term as County Attorney, and
had Just been reelected tor a second
term.
We share in the general regret at the
untimely death OF our townsman, and
sympathise with his many friends and
relatives, and especially with his i'm
mediate family. in their irreparable
bereavement.
We hope some friend will furnish us
a more complete sketch of the deceas-
ed for publication in our columns.
