Here is the difference pointed out by
the Nashville Imcricam "The hotels,
clubs and merchants OF Memphis put up
the added money for seven OF the eight
stakes offered by the Memphis Jockey
club. They give $1,000 and the Jockey
club 5000. The West Side Park associa-
ton, Of Nashville, has added 81, 900 to its
stakes, and has not received dollar from
any individual, hotel or company in Nash

The Clarksdale Miss Banner SAYS
''Gen. J. Il. Chalmers for Congress in the
Memphis district is the latest prediction.
We are inclined TO discrcdit this report,
from the fact that IL is pretty generally con-
ceded that President MADDEN intends 10
offer for that position at the ensuing elec-
ton, in which event Chalmers or Phelan
will not stand the ghost OF chance. F."
This brings to mind bit of humor dis
charged by prominent legal gentleman
and friend Of President Hadden. Being
informed that the Tycoon had a singular
enlargement on the side OF his nose, which
he attributed TO the spring attachment 10
eyeglasses, the legal gentleman remarked:
Perhaps IL is the congressional bee which
is said TO have gotten up his nose"

Two Roustabouts Create a Scene OF
Confusion and Excitement.
There was an exciting incident on the
levec between s and o'clock yesterday
morning, and a narrow escape from a
tragic death bya colored roustabout named
Sam Harper, ut the hands OF Dan Morris,
also colored, and captain OF the watch on
the steamer City Of Cairo. Both parties
were arrested and locked up, and Second
Mate John Flanagan was also arrested ~
accessory, bu. released ON bond taken by
Recorder lladdcn. The stories told by the
two principals do not consist, though the
appearance of truth rests with Harper.
The latter states that on the down trip OF
the Cairo he was beaten and abused by
Morris and chased from the boat at small
landing below Bolivar. lie was three days
making his way back to Memphis, and yes
torday morning went 10 the boat 10 get
money due him. Morris saw him and
made him 20 ashore. Shortly afterward
Morris came from the dcck.room leading
two mules, and on getting near him pulled
pistol and began firing. Two shots were
fired, one OF which struck n rib on the left
side and glanced oil, leaving only black
mark. The bullet fell from his clothes
after being taken to the station house.
Morris says he has no idea Why Harper
provoked the assault, as he never saw him
before and knows nothing about him.
When lac came out OF the deck-room lead.
ing the mules he came upon Harper, who
was awaiting him with an open knife.
Flanagan was arrested on suspicion Of
having given Morris the pistol with which
the shooting was done

$3.50 p. m. yesterday Harry Patchcn. a drug

Lis body . little below the heart a~ndpenetrat-
ing the lungs. He had been employed at one
time by j. c. Hening, aud also by Crandal 4
Barclay, of this city, but at present was out

been playing cards at . saloon in the city and
got into and alteration with one of his COM

Mrs. G. II. Atwood, who resides at the corner
Of Third avenue south and Dubuque streets,
where he soon aftcrvarl fired the shot.

his wounds were attended to as wcllas posi-

He WAS deeply enamourcd of q very estimable
young lady In this city, and it is presumed
this may have had something to do with his
state Of mind. He instructed DIR. Merrill to
say, II asked about the occurrence, that he
had tried to kill himeelf, but hadn't made It
out. At last accounts he was resting quietly,
but was rapidly growing weak.

to have been associated in the first open.
ing campaign of 1866.
Fred Douglass was then recognized
as he came upon the rear of the stage,
and was loudly called for. He was pre-.
sented amid applause. He said he
hopd the convention would make such
a record in its proceedings rs to put il
entirely out of the power of the leaders
of the Democratic party to say there was
no difference between the Republican
party and the Democratic party in respect
to the class which he represented.
