sition on the Journal, of Arkansas City. The
last issue Of the True Democrat contained a
scathing article in relation TO Harris, which
he, having come to this city on business,
answered in the Saturday iszue OF the Gazstfs
1t is understood he supplemented the answer
with a challenge TO johnson, inviting him to
choose his weapons and meet him at point
near Terrene, Miss. Your correspondent
called this morning at the editoriaI-rooms of
the True Democrat, and learned that John
son had left town on Friday night in accept
ance OF an invitation TO attend political
meeting at some point south of this place.
He will probably return tomorrow. Harris
has returned to Arkansas City 10 await de-
velopments. The outcome of the affair is
variously interpreted by parties cogniz ant
of the facts in the case, Johnson's friends as
serting that he will consider Harris foeman
worthy to meet on the field of honor. John
son has the reputation of being brave and
peppery, and his assaults upon the various
rings in the Democratic party have attracted
considerable attention. He is a native of
Missouri. He established the True Democrat
(the organ of the amendment wing of the
Arkansas Democracy some months ago. and
has since conducted it successfully. Harris
was formerly Associated Press Agent at this
point, but recently resigned TO take editorial
charge of the Arkansas City Journal. He is
a candidate for the Legislature from Desha
county on the Democratic ticket, and his
friends say is very courageous.

NOTWITHSTANDING the disgrace OF the Pc

as daisy, perfect political "darling-a

put his friend Colonel Henderson, of the
Dubuque Ua.) district, into the position Ct
secretary OF the Congressional Republican

the congressional tickes from Maine at the
next election. Petitions are said to be in cir

which, when presented to him, he will an
swer with ringing letter that will furnish
the keynote for the presidential as we'll as

Indeed, he would shame mule or brass
monkey. A correspondent of the St. Louis
Republican says that he "is Known to have
greatly wished that he could have been on
the floor of the House this winter. He has
spoken Of the utter lack of leadership there,
and OF the splendid opportunity for it. He
says that the Republicans have thrown away
chance after chance of doing that which
would greatly strengthen the party, and he
has used, by all accounts, pretty vigorous
Anglo Saxon in his comments on the course
the party has taken under its many-lIeaded
Leadership. But great as have been, 10 his
view, these opportunities, those that will
open TO the Republicans 10 the lower house
in the Forty eighth Congress he believes will
be greater. That Congress will meet in De-
cembsr OF next year. The session will be
that which will preceds the presidential

TIE great lesson Taught by the assassina-
ton Of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr..
Burke in Dublin, on Saturday last is that
all expressions Of revenge for Political
grievances, all threats Of killing and of muir
der, and all suggestion of assassination
is wicked, and all threat of it cowardly. No
one but bully and a coward in his heart
villa threaten public official for doing his
duty; or conspire, connive, or consent to his
murder. This is the era Of Public Opinion,
and to it all who feel aggrieved must have
recourse for redress that is not to be had at
law. The employees Of the British govern
ment in Ireland could mol, would not dare do
any less than their duty as they we're sworn
to. II they Transcribed that duty an appeal
to the law would either justify or condemn
them, and if that failed, as it has sometimes,
healthy Public Opinion-and it is generally
healthy-would condemn the extremes of the
government or its officials and compel
return to normal methods of governing.
No degree of individual impotence will
Justify the reign Of the assassin or the bully,
and the community or people that submit to
either may reasonably look for the chaos and
confusion that precedes dissolution and
death. The law must be supreme if people
are to be secure in their persons and
property.

Greenback state Convention.

The World reports that the State conven-
ton Of the al-Greenback-L party
met Tuesday at 2 o'clock in the hall OF the
House of Representatives.
Mr.. J. w. James, OF Chattanooga, was
elected chairman, and Mr.. ii. Reichman, of
Memphis, secretary.
The platform of the party, adopted in
Chicago in 1880, was read, and with few
trifiing exceptions, was adopted and recog-
nizsd as the present platform of the party.
There were present about forty regular
delegates and nearly 100 proxies.
A manifest and demonstrative desire was
INDUCED in to nominate a candidate for
governor.
Several delegates frequently addressed the
chair in this particular, but an executive
committee has been appointed to look into
this by appointing the time for future
meeting for this and other objects, SO the
gentlemen quietly succumbed.
The Executive Committee was composed
of Messrs. S. Similee, First district, Carter
county; r. NJ Mckee, Second, Greene
county; Sam Parker, Third, White county ;
b. Harris, Fourth, Smith county; ID. A.
Vaughn, Fifth, Bedford county; B. F. c.
Seventh, Hickman county; w. s. Maxwell,
Eighth, Decatur county; w. S. Stanfield,
Ninth, Obion county, and III. Reichman,
Tenth, Memphis.
Mr.. o. A. Nixon was elected chairman Of
the committee, and B. F. c. Brooks secretary.
The result Of the committees report was that
the convention do reassemble in Nashville on
the 18th day of June next in the same hall to
nominate a candidate fox gubernatorial
honora, etc. But Mr. Lewis Tillman, who
had previously nomiaated Mr.. r. M. Mckee,
of Greenville, did not want to wait until the
next meetips, and modestly inquired of the
Chair what he twas going to do about that
nom IA alton" The Chair asserted that he
thought the resolution Withdrawn, but that
in any event this WAS not the time for nomi-
nations, as expressed by the voice of this
convention and the action OF the executive
committee, and Mr.. Tillman subsidized.
An immense display of the oratorical
powers was INDUCED in, yet, altogether, the
meeting was eminently harmonious and
amiable.
The thanks of the convention, on motion
of Mr.. Nixon, were unanimously given to
the press and to members of the lower house
for courtesies, and to the Greenback papers
and to the Commercial hotel of this city, etc.
After this elusive oHtburst of gratitude
and good will, nothing else could be done
than TO adjourn, which was accordingly done.

THE PANIC AT CINCINNATI
Concerning the Smallpox Officially De-
cIared TO be Exaggerated.

CINCINNATI, May 10.-The following peril
nent letter was received by the managers of
the May Festival to-day:
To the Board of Directors of the Cincinnati May
Musical Festival:
GENTLEMEN-I regard the present panic
about smallpox to be altogether exaggerated
and uncalled for. Six years ago the disease
was here in much more alarming degree,
and yet there was no panic then. Persons
from distance contemplating visiting your
festival need not hesitate to come to Cincin-
natl. The part of the city through which
they would pass is free from smallpox; there
has not been single case in any hotel. The
disease is confined almost altogether to the
northern and northeastern portions of the
city. You are welcome to announce the fore
going as official. Very truly,
d. d. BRAMBLE, I'D.

A CLEVER FRAUD.
Who Has Been swindling the People OF
Memphis Pretty Lively.

A sharp fellow has for the last few days
been victimizing the honest people of this
burg by representing himself MS the agent
for Hd1per's Magasine and other prominent
publications. The price of Harper's Maga-
zine is 81 year, but this enterprising trick
ster undertook to sell it for s. so year.
BY this glittering proposal many innocent
people were taken in. The fellow has repre-
sented himself as connected with prominent
people here, and has thus injected himself
into the confidence of about 800 people. When
he came to Miss Higbee's school, it is under
derstood that she was too smart for him, and
refused to pay for what che had not got. The
fellow came very near victimizing the entire
Tennessee Club, it is said. The attention of
the police is called to this case. President
Hadden ought to administer his strictest
sanitary Justice to such fraud.

THE death of Captain belong, the
brave commander of the Jeannette, has
called out as much Of profound sympathy as
that OF Franklin, whose name is indissolnbly
linked with the Arctic regions. The story
o his heroic endurance and pluck, as he told
il iHathe notes with which he tracked his
course in the delta Of the Lena, is one Of
which Americans will always be proud. He
went into the unknown ocean with all the
enthusiasm of a scientist, aud when disasters
came be led his little band with the self
reliance aud courage of soldier. The gov
eminent should take order concerning his
wife and child, and monument should be
erected at the capital to testify the Rspus-
lies appreciation of a heroism only paral-
leIed by that of Sir John Franklin.

THE APPEAL yesterday overlooked the fact
that the Irishmen OF Memphis had the bad
taste to reflect upon the press of "this and other
cities" for what they deemed its unwarranted
structures. So far as they themselves are
concerned these structures would not apply,
because when few cowardly incendiaries,
without courage enough to kill mad pup,
went about believing about dynamite they
very promptly repudiated the brawlers
whom, unfortunately, the laws of Tennessee
could not reach. But away from Memphis
there are cowardly Groves and corrupt
O'Donoyan Ressas who justify assassination.
10 these scoundrels the structures of the
press of 'this and other cities +" will apply.
They cannot be denounced too severely.
They are murierers at heart, without the
courage to perpetraie the crime, and they
claim 10 be members of the F, nian, Home
Rule or Skirmishins Fund organizations.
Therefore the American press cannot be
blamed for making the structures the Mem
phis Irishmen complain Of. hishmen every
where ought to repudiste, as those OF Mem
phis have done, the staggering and cowardly
bulIies and assassinp, and thus remove
cause for the denunciations Of which those OF
"lhis and other cities" complain.
