IL l. 4 VI N
THE PArAL MISTAKE.

1t is now conceded by the supporters of the
Shaw ticket that the "ho-s' made great mis-
take in ignoring the Irish while putting two
negroes ON his ticket. This pandering to the
colored vote and contemptuous exclusion OF
the Irish will be rebuked to-day by the vote
of eighteen hundred Irishmen, who will give
a solid vote for the citizens ticket on which
have been placed Burke and Garvin, two
representative Irishmen. This race, proud
of their intelligence and record here in Mem.
phis, cannot understand upon what theory
they we're neglected, except at the instigation
of the "boss" who is known to be hostile to the
race that defeated his aspirations as a candi-
date fOrsherif. Some Of the proudest names
of Memphis are those of Irishmen-men who
have more than ordinary pride in the welfare
of the city, citizens of character and ability,
and the question Is why they should be K
cluded by Shaw, who panders to his own race
and to the Germans

KINGS KILLED.
Three Mel and one woman Murdered
In Missouri.

ST.. LOUIS, January 1.-THE southern Sec
ton of Montgomery county is mostly an
arid and billy country, and during the last
two or three years has been inhabited in part
by number of reckless and law-defying
young men, among them the Days, the King
boys and others who, without regard as TO
who has been the most guilty or most wrong,
are objects of intense hatred upon the part
of the law abiding people. The King boys
consist of John, Tom, Joe and abby.
On the night of the 29th uitimo the three
firs.-named King boys went TO the house
of Mr.. Nelson, four miles south of
Americas, a romantic little village slopiDg
on a beautiful stream in the hills, the Nell
sons claiming, Tor the purpose of robbery,
and the Kings denying it. At any rate, the
trouble soon began and ended disastrously to
the Kings The windows of the Nelson house
were broken; one of the King boys was
wounded, and another started across the dark
river with his boots on. A post nlortea was
held by Esquire Mushl, and young Nelson,
who killed King, was justified. The dead
body was borne to the cabin of the King,
one mile south of Americas, on the next day
for burial. This cabin is occupied by old
man King, old Mrs King, two of the
boys wives and their mother, Mrs
Austin. About 8 o'clock that night
(the 30th) while Abby was in the
village for coffin for his dead brother, a
ban Of citizens bent on the destruction of
the Kings rode up to the cabin and made an
assault. Old Mrs. King and Mrs Austin ran
out, when Mrs. King was wounded
and Mrs. Austin shot dead. Another of the
King boys was crippled aud still another,
perhaps, is dead. During the frightful trag-
edy old Mrs. King, although wounded,
thought of sueding the youngest boy, Abby
away 10 the village for a coffin and winding
sheet, and word of the affair. The boy fed
to Danville and reported to the sheriff, who
with posse will start TO arrest the leaders of
the mob and enforce order

THE WAX UPON THE CROSSES. ;.

In all sections OF the country the power OF
the "bosses" has been hopelessly broken and
shattered. Boss" Tweed was sentenced to the
penitentiary; 'Boss" Kelly has been buried
under a heavy load of public odium
the "bosses" of Philadelphia have been
buried under the compost heap Of their own
abominable and revolving indeceneies, and
only last week one of them was sent to the
penitentiary. Democratic Boston, a few
days ago, crushed out the "bosses' by electing
a Republican. The bosses" shared the same
fate in Democratic Brooklyn, which recently
elected Republican by people determined
to rid themselves of "boss" rule. "Boss"
Shaw, of this city, is not so easily killed off.
In the last county election the people
Intimated to him that his career
as "boss" was at an end But
he makes his appearance in this cleo
ton and undertakes to play "boss" again.
But for hishatred of the Irish and his demand
that a negro be placed on the ticket for
police and fire commissioners, there would
have been no opposition to the Citizens
ticket. The people Ct this city will have
an opportunity in the election to-day to ex-
press their opinion as to the Memphis ''boss,"
who "bossed" the Chase ticket and in
spired all the opposition to the Citizens
ticket

THE oFArH OF HENRY $. nroComI

THE DEATH OF HENRY =. McCOMB.
The APPEAL has already announced the
death of this eminent citizen of Delaware.
Mr.. McComb was president of the Mississippi
and Tennessee railroad, and the last BUSH
ness act was probably the sending of dis
patch to Mr.. Burke, the superintendent Of
that road, who received it almost simultane-
ously with thedispatch announcing his death.
Mr.. McComb resided in Wilmington, OF
which he was native, and the papers of
that city are extrsvagant in praise of his
many virtues. He was the wealthiest
man in the State Of Delaware He
commenced life as a currier, in The
city of Wilmington, and in that bust
ness he became prosperous. In brief notice
of his death the Wilmington Post reviews
many interesting Incidents connected with
his life. 1t says that during the war he made
a fortune furnishing knapsacks and other
like equipment to the government, and
at IFS close turned his attention
largely to railroad enterprises, his first
great scheme being the obtaining posses
sion of the Mississippi Central and New Or
leans, Jackson and Great Northern railroads,
with a view to the control of trunk line be-
tween New Orleans and Cairo. He continued
interested in the railroads of that section
until his death, being president at that time
of the Mississippi and Tennessee. He was
the chief of the syndicate which not long
ago offered to build the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad TO New York, and the sale of the
Delaware road, which resulted from these
negot atoms, is supposed TO have been worth
to him half million dollars, while his whole
wealth is estimated at from six to eight mil
lions. But the event OF his life which caused
his name to be on the lips of more people
than it ever had been before, or could be
thereafter, was his connection with and ex-
posure of the Credit-Mohilier scheme. Not
succeeding in getting possession of twenty-five
shares Of the stock of that concern which he
had bought, he sued the company therefor,
and from that event can be traced the diff
ferent windings OF the claim which
eliminated in the congressional in
vestigation, the production OF Cakes Ames's
memoranda, the Staying of Schuyler Colfax
in cold blood, the besmearing of sundry other
statesmen-au resulting in a decided i'm
provement in the manner of transacting pub
lie business, as well as the character of that
which sought to attract the attention OF con-
gressmeD. Colonel McComb was a promi
nent type OF the active, energetic American
of this generation, who, by his independence
of character, self-relisnce and indomitable
perseverance,, so succeeded as to leave name
and fortune to his children, and to poor boys
of like ability example OF what may be
attained under decided disadvantages in
early life.

THE LAST NEW YEARS CALL

Yes, all IS over, at last, my dear.
And the last of the callers has come and gone,
The final callers were rather queer,
And stupid enough TO make one yawn.
just ran over a minute to see
If the day turned out you thought it would,
And what it was said of Charlie Lee
That moment that on the steps he stood.
l knew it was something a little "of,"
Because you flushed to your temples, dear,
Though YOU made believe it was a cough,
But you couldn't play that racket here.
He called on me, dear, an hour or two
Before noticed his coming here;
He took one side of the street right through
When he first began, you see, my dear.
But, before he got quite through the street,
l thought from his wabbling gait, the Ounce!
That he might have found it rather neat
To call both sides OF the street at once.
Yes Charleys very nice fellow, true;
But he's just q little fr sh in his ways,
And was pulled from tee home in which he grew
Before he was through his nursery days.
Yes, much too innocent-much, my dear.
His head doesn't take command of his heart;
And 80 he Will gusn sometimes, ana Is queer,
Win glass or two-indt ed, rather tart.
But there! didn't intend TO stay
So long. l Just run over to see
What was that Charley really did say
AS he stood here moment shaky i'll knee.

We are such good friends, and dldn t mean
To hurt your feelings, my dear. Oh. mol

On New Years Day What lark! Ha, hal
It's just too swfully. utterly Quitel
And, OF course, you II refer him to your papa

! ticket OF Boss Shaw unless there be gen.
eral turnout Of the majority which favors tbs
Citizens ticket. Thinking men of all parties
and all grades, from poverty to wealth, know
| that it is to the interest of Memphis to elect
! MADDEN, Burke and Graves as fire and police
! commissioners. Hadden has been efficient
/ and shown great administrative ability N the
! several positions in which he has been
| placed. Burke and Graves have been tried,
| and found true and faithful. A city
that has been governed we'll should
continue in office the men who have proven
faithful to their trusts. Good policy
requires that the men who have given Us
good government be kept in power. The
administration of Porter, Overton and Burke
has been satisfactory TO the people. The
career of Overton, Graves and Burie has
been successful, and Graves and Burke
should again be reinstated in the power
they have used for the advancement and
prosperity OF lie city. This ticket ought TO
be elected to-day, and will be elected if its
friends both vote and work for it. No good
citizen, whatever may be his politics, should

issues are we'll understood and there can be
no good excuse for any we'll person, entitled
to the exercise of a freeman's privilege, to
abstain from depositing his ballot. Let no
friend of Hadden, Graves and Burke, look
ing at the returns tomorrow, say that by
some neglected effort Of his own the result
might have been changed. The way for good
citizens TO secure good government is to oote.
Besides being a privilege, voting is
a duty. Indeed, there is no duty
80 urgeatly demanded of the citizen
in popular government as that of strict
attention to all the powers given by the
elective franchise. To attend to it thought
fully, and with sense of its responsibility,
secures the highest merit and ability in the
law-making department, and the purest ad-
ministration of public affairs. To neglect
it, or to abuse it, will breed that horde Of
professional spoilsmen in politics who cult
vate corruption to the danger OF the people
Suffrage is not a right inherent, but a duty
imposed on citizenship, and If bad men
are elected and bad administration follows
The people can only blame themselves. If
the business men of Memphis will to-day
act upon this theory they will turn out and
serve not only their own interests, but that
