A Madison street darky suddenly
lost his appetite yesterday at the very

telegraph post on the opposite side Of
the alley way, made report like the
discharge of 3 mIsket, and lit up the
surroundings. The darky gathered
his feet beneath himself and left in a
hurry, and wasn't hungry any more.
Mr.. MCGOWAN, County Trustee,
desires US to say that the Office Of
back poll tax collector was created by
the County Court and that this collec-
ter appoints his own deputies. Also
that he as Trustee has nothing to do
with their appointment and is NOT
responsible for their acts in any way.
Under the law the Trustee has no
authority to appoint special collectors,
but is required to certify all delin.
quent taxes to the Constables OF
Sheriff. Sometimes parties are as.
sessed twice on the books in different
wards and hence it occurs that parties
are presented with bills after they
have paid their tax.

satd fences Wsrs proElfated Ii vsfioaI
places, and nice lawn on 1audetdale
street served this forenoon as pas
ture for about forty rowing milch
COWS.
A section Of the front wall of the
brick wall Of the brick building 90
Main street, about 10x30 feet, was
blown into the street, allowing the
water to food the house. A one-story
frame on Jackson street, the property
of Mrs. Tayler, which was undergoing
repairs, was blown down and the tim
bers scattered far and wide. Several
small trees in the yard were demol-
ished. A shed, 2OOxlOO yards, in the
navy yard was torn to pieces. A
small house in Fort Pickering was
pitched from the blocks which sup
ported it and deposited fat on the
ground. The inmates, a colored
family, we're unhurt.
In addition to the above, it is re.
ported that the steamer Coahoma en-
countered the storm while under way
some fourteen miles above the city and
the boat was blown by the force OF the
gale some four miles up stream, in
efforts to effect landing. The waves
rolled ten or twelve ::feetlhigh, dashing
against the shores with heavy force
and fury, drawing the spray high into
the air, and after period Cap
tain Cooper decided TO weather the
gale in midstream, it being deemed
safer than to get close to the shore to
be pounded against the bank BY the
angry pillows. A portion of the deck
crew became much frightened, and at
one time made efforts to get the yawl
out in case of the boat becoming a
wreck. A number of the cabin crew
fled to the texas and prayed in their
alarm, and some provided themselves
with life preservers in readiness to 60
overheard as the last chance. TIE
captain ordered all the lights about
the boat extinguished, SO that there
would be no danger Of fire should the
boat be blown to pieces. Happily
she rode through the squalI safely.
At Stephen James place, q dozen
miles or so above here, q tvo-story log
house was blown down, but no one
was hurt.
To the southwark the storm was
equally rough, and in the vicinity of
Moons Landing fences and trees were
thrown down in great profusion. At
DR.. Peters place, fifty miles below
here, stable was wrecked and three
mules killed; a tree fell across two
mules attached to a wagon and killed
them, and two mules were killed at
Cat Island. The water from the rain
in DR.. Peters yard was deep enough
to float dugout. At. Mr.. Fargason' s
place, near the foot of Walnut Bend,
two houses were blown down and
wrecked.
The river rose FIVE inches opposite
this port between noon yesterday and
noon to-day, all the effect Of local
rains and the food from Wolf and
other streams in the vicinity, as is
proven by the fact that the water at
Cairo has been declining for some
days.
The indications for to-day favor a
clearing up, with slightly cooler
atmosphere and winds from the west
and northwest, though local showers
are threatened in the West Gulf dis
tricts.

ALL the world will rejoice thai

ALL the world will rejoice that
England's good Queen escaped the
assassin's bullet. Her reign began
forty>ive years ago and has been one
of which there has been little cause
for complaint among her own sub
iects. Her intercourse with the
world has been such that she is uni
versally commended for her queenly
and womanly virtues, and she enjoys
the respect and esteem of the civil
lied world. If the attempt upon her
life had been made by sane person,
it would have been unaccountable,
but lunatic though the would>be as
sassin was, he barely escaped the
fury of the excited populous who
clamored for his blood. The people
on this side of the water will await
with some degree of anxiety, the &C
tions of the authorities towards the
assassin.

A WASHINGTON correspondent OF
one of our exchanges hastens to dis
credit that part of Mr.. Blaine's
eulogy where he speaks of Garield's
campaign against Humphrey Mar
shall in Eastern Kentucky. Any one
feeling an interest in the matter will
find detailed history of that cam
paign in Chaplain Van Horn s history
of the Army of the Cumberland
which fully sustains MIR. Blaines
version of the affair. The active
campaign lasted several days. II
was managed by General Garfield
with consummate skill and its re-
suits were very important. Marshall
was driven from Eastern Kentucky,
the Union sentiment in that locality
was strengthened and the Union
people encouraged. 1t will never be
known, perhaps, how much the res
suit contributed to the final position
assumed by that State.

The Tennessee Republicans show
no disposition to abandon their
stand for an honest payment of the
debt of the State. They recognize
the fact that such a course would be
cowardly aud would forfeit the conf
dence of all honest people.-Chicago
Tribune.
The Tribune understands the Sit
uatlon. The Republicans here know
very well that their only chance for
success, is to stand firmly by their
well-known principles, and they
have no desire to abandon their
record, any way. Whatever indi>
vidual Republicans may think, the
party in Tennessee is committed to
early and honest settlement of the
State debt. They are committed to
this doctrine as clearly and distinct,
lively as the Republicans of the ma
ton were committed to specie re-
sumption, and the same class CT men,
who insisted that specie resumption
would ruin the country, now teach
that the resumption of the payment
of our State debt will bring ruin up
on the State. The questions are
very similar, and the situation
not dissimilar. The one
was reputation just as
the other is reputation. Re-
sumption in the payment of the
national debt brought prosperity to
the country, just as the resumption
of the payment of the State debt
will restore confidence and bring
with it permanent prosperity. At
one time it required NO ordinary
degree of courage to stand up for
specie resumption, just as now re-
