Is Responsible for the Death of Woman and
 the Wounding of Her Husband.


 Selma, May 21.-(Special.)- .)-Meagre de- tails of terrible shooting affray near Pleasant Hill last Saturday reached the city today.
 Joe Vaughan, a young white man, foreclosed a mortgage, and was driving home some cattle which he had seized. On his way home he had to pass through a wagon gate. He called to Caroline Weaver, a colored woman, to open the gate. She refused saying the gate was too heavy. Vaughan became enraged, and struck the woman over the head with his pistol and then shot her. The ball entered her breast and came out in the back. Her husband, Bob Weaver, saw the difficulty, and ran to his wife's assistance. He, too, was shot down, the ball entering his right side near the waist, and ranging around to his back bone, where it was extracted later.
 The woman died yesterday morning. The man will recover. Vaughan has not been arrested.

letter by Gov. William C. Oates of Ala bama to a democrat in Washington has been made public:
 Office of the Governor.
 Montgomery, May IT. Sir: You requested me to express my views in the form of letter as to southern man for president on the demo- cratic ticket in 1896, with list of candi- dates from the south from which selec- tion should be made.
 In answer to this question l do not hes itate to say that the democrats of the south should not put forth any candidate for president in 1896. No man who ever wore the gray as a Confederate soldier will ever be president of the United States. It is barely possible that son of some such man may be. The preJu- dices of the war have died with many men, and in some localities, but in other localities and with many persons they still exist I had rather have a good northern man for president than south ern one because the latter would be all the time trying to please the north to have himself reelected. and d northern president would be more likely to be lib- eral with his patronage towards the south for similar reason. It is no special advantage in any particular to have the president
 You also request of me an expression as to what should be the platform plank on finance of the next national conven- tion
 It should be, in my opinion declara tion in favor of liberal use of silver and gold to as full extent as parity can be maintained between them, and in fa- vor of sound money of every kind I think there should be a revision of our financial system by a suspension of the 10 per cent tax in all cases where state banks the specie re0emDtiOn of their notes by a sufficient deposit, which would give the people plenty of sound local currency and prevent the issuance of wildcat money, and gradually retire the greenbacks and sherman notes which would stop the drain of gold from the treasury Very respectfully,
 WILLIAM C. OATES.
