The Diffieulty Between Conductor Me-
Nally and Judge Word.

HELENA, ARK, September 20.-The de-
tails of the difficulty between Conductor
McNally, of the Iron Mountain road, and
Judge II. \. Word, of Lee county, which
took place at Mariana Tuesday, is thus
related by an eyewitness: Judge Word
and lady came down the road few days
since and got off at one of the way stations.
BY some means not caused by Capt. Nc
Nally the train was run past the usual
place, and Mrs. Word stepped from the
car while it was in motion. However, as
sisted by the porter, she could not have
sustained any shock, as the motion was
very slow, and she was treated with all at
tention. Monday at the depot Mr.. Nc
Nally was struck two blows on the head in
quick succession by some one from be-
hind, and turning around quickly saw that
his assailant was Judge Word, who with .
stick in one hand and knife in the other,
and swearing furiously, showed great
anger. Capt. McNally warded off further
blows and asked for an explanation,
but nothing was granted him but
more oaths and more efforts to assail him
He then threw his hand behind him, but
his pistol was not in his rear pocket, be-
ing in his valise. However, it was thought
he intended to use it, and he was held
from behind. When he remarked that he
had no pistol he was released, and Judge
Word again starting toward him, Capt.
McNally seized the arms of the other, and
then it was that Judge Word was slightly

JAcksoN, September 22.-An election
was held here Thursday, the Goth in
slant, to determine whether. our city will
issue bonds to the amount of 100000
to establish waterworks. The result of
the vote was $40 for waterworks and 95
for no waterworks. Thus it will be seen
that more than five to one votes IVES Cast
for waterwofks. There is considerable re-
ioicing among our citizens over the result
of the election.
Saturday last Mr.. j. r. Hawkins, pro-
prietor of the Champion Mills, Of this city;
shot and dangerously W6unded Negro
man, .bam6d Sam Collier. The ball en-
tered the abdomen, ranging backward, and
has not been found yet. The difficulty
originated in the negro falling to clean out
well to suit Mr.. Hawkins. We under
stand Hawkins acted in self-defense, as the
negro was bad character and was ad-
vancing on Hawkins with a deadly
weapon. AT this writing the negro is not
dead.
Our merchants are all returning from the
East with heavy stocks of goods. The out
look for big fall and winter trade Is good.
The fleeey staple is beginning to roll into
the market.
Quite number of our citizens are alb
sent, attending the great Southern Exposi-
ton at Louisville.
The murrain is killing cattle through
out the county. However, it has not as
sumed On epidemic form, as 1t has in other
parts OF the State.
Our farmers are preparing to sow a big
crop Of wheat es soon as it rains.
4 protracted meeting will begin at the
First Methodist church tomorrow, and
continue during the week. A big re-
vival is expected, and several able min
isters will be III attendance. JACKSON.

THE APPEAL OF TO-DAY,

Comprising six pages, of sixty columns, is
n newspaper that we feel sure the public,
which has so long helped by generous
patronage to make it what it is, will be
proud Of. Comparing it with any of the
leading journals of the country, it will be
found as full of news from all parts
of tn world and of every pos
sible description, including the cur
rent gossip of the stage, of the politi-
cal world and society. First among the
newspapers that cater for wide extent
of country, the APPEAL will be found in
the future, as in the past, leading wher-
ever the best interests of the public may
demand. Mindful alone of tho public
welfare, its conductors are determined
that it shall continue to be, in all essen
tials, the best newspaper in the Southwest.

BELLS DEPOT, TENN.

Regular Correspondence of the Appeal
BELLS, September 22-The weather
continues very dry, but sickness is de-
creasing. The public roads were worked
here in August. There has been 70 rain
here since, and the roads are covered with
bed of dust about four inches deep.
Every breeze and passing vehicle raises a
cloud of dust so dense that it almost con-
ceals all objects few feet from travellers
Contemplating is progressing rapidly,
and the prospect is that the crop will turn
out better than was anticipated two weeks
ago.
On last Tuesday evening as the north
bound freight, due here at 80 o'clock
PM, was descending a grade four miles
south of Bells, Mr.. Robert F. Hicks, one
of the brakemen, while passing from the
top of one car to another, lost his balance
and was thrown off backward striking on
his head several feet from the track. He
was picked up by the crew and brought to
Bells, where his father lives. The ply
sicians found his skull badly crushed, and
supposed he was bruised internally. He
lived until Thursday, evening, but did not
speak, and was not conscious at any mo-
ment. His remains were inferred at the
Brigance Cemetery yesterday evening
"Reb" Hicks, as he was familiarly known,
was for some time a schoolmate of the
writer, and was a universal favorite i'll our
little city. He was a handsome youth of
superior intelligence, about twenty years
old. His father and brother are proprie-
tors of the Hicks Gin Factory at this
place, and are manufacturers of the Hicks
cotton gin and gin feeders.
The wrong idea often prevails in regard
to the character of employees on freight
trains. Several young men from this
town are now running on freight trains,
two OF whom-the Weddle brothers-are
conductors, and all of them are respecta-
BILE gentlemen.

are taking deep interest in the education
of their children, and the colored schools
are some of the best. We find some OF

education and considerable intelligence,
and teach well. Some of them attend
the splendid colored schools of Nashville
when they make money enough to 60
there. The men who possess the greatest
measure of practical intelligence are those
who become leaders, and at the present
rate, fifteen years hence, the colored race
will be in the ascendancy here in some
| places. Many of them own farms now
Twenty-Five years hence the negro will be
a very important factor in the South. The
colored teachers of Crockett county are
holding a teachers institute in town to-
day. Many teachers are present, and
much interest is manifested. A. o. d.

Judge Hoadly spent Sunday in
Cleveland visiting his old friends. He
was met by reporter of the Plain
Dealer, who sought TO interview him
upon political affairs in Ohio.
mot much,n said the Judge, "I
came to Cleveland upon the invitation
of an old friend to have aqu ct Sunday
and not to assist to contribute matter
to any newspaper, however enterpFis-
ing,nn ,,,.o ;, ,,or.;..od ~ ;,to.

with General Durbin Ward, in the
Plain Dealer of April 2Gth, upon the
Senatorial question, in which he says,
Il shall not work for Mr.. Pendieton
for Senator and shall Dot work against
him."
Indeed I have" responded the
Judge, beginning to warm up to the in
terviewer when Gen. Durbin Wards
name was mentioned, and was de-
lighted to find the old hero and my
self in unison of opinion"
why, Judge" responded the P. d.
reporter. you have been reported up
here as in league with Mr. Pendleton."
"By no means" responded the
Judge, becoming serious, General
Ward and L occupy the same position.
1t is the only one that men of honor
can hold. He and L are candidates
for the nomination of the Democratic
party for Governor and for no other
position. The man who accepts that
great trust would be unworthy of it
should he use the confidence of the
party to obtain the senatorial office, or
to interfere with the free judgment of
the party upon that question. Mr.
Pendleton has been my personal friend
for more than thirty years. Every
other gentleman named in this con-
n ,ction is my friend. | shall not,
under any circumstances whatever. he
a candidate for Senator nor take part,
directly or indirectly, in assisting or
obstructing the election of any other
man. The Democratic party are en-
titled to have free choice of Senator,

any of the candidates upon the state

that there is no entity or quality in
man which admits of such reappear-
ance. But, upon this point, is not the
party reappearing the best possible
witness? And does not the passage OF
this law imply an admission that the
thing is possible?
The Legislature of Ohio cannot be
so Infatuated as to pass taX-law to
put down delusion. What it aims at
is 10 prevent the recurrence of Il par
ticular class of facts. For some reason
or other it wants to discourage rssur-
rection, to bar the entrance of alien
ghosts into the State, to close the gap
through which the departed spirits OF
citizens of Ohio are wont to effect
their entrance to the scenes which
during theirlife- times they frequented.
Why the legislature should feel So un-
kindly to these harmless existences,
unless they have, by some ineXpiioa-
bic mental process. got them mixed up
with those whiskies, wines, and beers
against which we are warning with 20
much pertinacity, it is difficult to con-
ceive.-[ The American Register.

war on the spirits and spooKs.

All sorts of spirits, even the spirits
of just men made perfect, seem to be
at discount in Ohio-the Legislature
of that State, not content with levyiBg
taxes on those which are material and
potable. having actually imposed
tariff designed to be prohibitory upon
those which are metaphysical and I'M
palpable. That is to say, as if deter
mined that 10 spirit of any sort shall
be introduced into that body polite
from beyond its bou Rdaries, it has
passed an act designed to close the av-
enues whereby they have hitherto eff
fected their entrance, by levying tax
of three hundred dollars q year upon
each and every spiritual medium.
The cOnstitutionalityof q law of this
sort is a proper subject of inquiry Re
garding death as mode of emigration
does the fact that man has itinerated
beyond the limits of the State of his
citizenship impair his right at will TO
return? If it does not-and none will
contend that it does-then is not eyery
impediment placed in the way of such
return a privation, qgoqd hoe of his
rightful free agency? Furthermore.
if, on account of circumstances especial
to himself, he needs a special mode of
assistance in order to effect his return.
would not tax laid upon such special
mode be in derogation of his natural
liberty? Suppose, for instance, a
Thousand citizens of the State of Ohio
had gone to the war and had become
so manned and crippled in the service
as to be unable to return to their homes
without wooden legs and crutches,
would it not be the extreme of injus,
tice were the legislature to impose a
prohibitory tax upon these auxiliaries ?
This is taking the cease in its SIM
plest presentation but there are other
points of view from which it may be
considered. In what respect, for ex-
ample, and to what extent, does a
man, by dying, part with his rights OF
persOn-Of self disposition? Death t.
the individual is an adverse accident
a misfortune and it is maxim alike
of reason and of law that no man is
incapacitated by his accidents beyond
their immediate and necessary c0nse
quences. If a citizen, having departed
this life, still retains the ability, il
part or in whole, to appear and ex.
press TO those concerned his de
sires, feelings or affections, or to Inform
them touching his condition or expert
ences, would it not be furnishing hin
for an unwelcome fOrtuity to deprive
him, by legislative act, of the means
of making such communications Ii
may be said-as it often has been
