Tub Philadelphia Bulletin slanders
the South in the following editorial:
" The intention of the Southerners who
0 re attempting, by committing outrages
upon the blscts, to stir them npto resis
tance, is to manufacture some ground
for talk about a war of races and to
cause a general political movement
among the whites for the purpose of ob
taining the supremacy, and of deterring
Congress frem passing the civil rights
bill. But from the character of some of
the stories that come from the South the
most likely result of these infamies is
the re enactment of the Eu-Elux laws.
There appears to be throughout the
South a common purpose to begin again
the crimes which made those laws neces
sary in the first place; and the organiza
tion of the White League is one of the
indications of the existence of the pur
pose." The Bulletin is one of those
Northern fanatical journals which, ow
ing to its hatred of the South, gives cir
cnlation to such falsehoods as are con
tained in every line of the above.

Goverkob Baowv has been requested
by the Executive Committee of the Na
tional Convention, held in Cincinnati
October, lfcTO, to appoint a delegation
of thirty-three citizens of Tennessee to
attend a convention to be held in Louis
ville on the 22d of October next, for the
purpose of considering the expediency
of removing the Federal Capital to the
West. This, it will be remembered, is
the pet project of one L, U. Reav is, who
is knows as the "capital mover," and
fancies that St. Louis will boast of a
population of fifty millions, more or
leas, within the next half century. If
the capital i3 to be removed we vote for
Memphis as the site.
I" all the legitimate demands of the
Democratic and Conservative party, or
of the great interests of the' general
public, or of Memphis in particular, the
Lidgik will not fail to do its duty, but
where mere individual schemes or inter
ests are to be promoted, it will be done
as advertising, and at the regular rates.

Thi statement of "Bessie" that sh
discovered that antiquated vestal, Susan

mot believed by those who know Susan's

the parties reversed the old lady might
take the boy Theodore on her lap, and

The Daily Blue Grass Derringer, al

Nashville, August 26. The negroes
at Pickettville, Gibson county, six miles
from Humboldt, last Saturday or Sunday
threatened' a riot on account of some
supposed wrong done them, and mani
fested a strong desire to kill two or
three citizens and fire and sack the
town. Yesterday sixteen of the ring
leaders were arrested, taken to Trenton
and placed in jail for safe keeping.
About one o'clock this morning be
tween fifty and one hundred masked
men entered the town, rode up to the
jail, demanded and compelled the Sheriff
to deliver up the keys. They then took
the sixteen negroes from the jail, and
four were killed .and two mortally
wounded at the edge of town. They
then rode off with the other ten and are
supposed to have killed them. Nothing
has been heard from them since they
left. There is considerable excitement
among the negroes there, and the whites
are taking defensive steps in case of
any outbreak.
KEW YORK.
Death of John Oavllt Meeting of
she Beecber Investigating torn-
ml t tee.
New York, August 2C John E.
Gavitt, President of the American Bank
Note Company, died yesterday at Stock
bridge, Mass.
A meeticg of the Beecber investigat
ing committee was held last night. Two
witnesses were examined, whose testi
mony it was deemed advisable to take
before closing. The committee meets
Bgain tomorrow night, when, it is ex
pected, their labors will close. No ar
rangement was made during the session
last evening to invite Moulton to come
before the committee, nor is it likely
that he will be requested to do so before
the investigation concludes. A letter
from Frank Carpenter characterizes the
charges in Beecher's statement about
him as utterly false. It is stated that
Beecber goes on a lecturing tour in the
fall.
Indian Tumble.
Fort Sill, August 25. Intelligence
having been received at this post that
Big Bed Foot, one of the principal hos
tile Comancbe chiefs, is now absent from
the reservation and on the war-path, and
was at Wichita agency, where he had
taken refuge with fifty of his band, Gen
eral Davidson left here on Friday night
with four companies of the Tenth cav
alry, numbering about 200 men, to arrest
the chief and his warriors. Big Red
Foot and his band were found at the
agency, as had been reported, and after
some parley General Davidson ordered
that they should be deprived of their arms
While the disarming was going on, the
Kiowas, nnder Lone Wolf and Woman's
Heart, turned on the troops and fired on
them. Immediately npon the discharge
of their gens the Kiowas ran. The
troops pursued, and a lively running
fight began between the soldier and In
dians. In the skirmish three soldiers
were shot and many of the Indians were
killed; how many is not known. Dur
ing the fight the Comanche lodges and
camp were burned. It also appears
that further troubles are expected at the
agency, as more troops have gone for
ward from here. Since the receipt of
news the Indians killed four citizens
near the agency.

Auction In Other Countries.
Auctions in different countries are
curious subjects of study. In an auc
tion in Spain, for instance, everything
accords with the national temper. There
is no noise. Conversation is prohibited
The auctioneer is held to his description
of goods. A bid is made; he of the
hammer repeats it: silence follows
'another bid, another announcement of
j .i i -ii :
it, ana anoiuer snence an as senuuo
and solemn as a prayer meeting, until
the mallet falls.
An auction room in France is, on the
contrary, a perfect Babel. In ell noisy
Paris there is nothing so noisy and
boisterous as a St. Autoine vendor where
earning and ch'ffoniers and ' old clo
Jews contend for cheap bargains. There
can be no ereater contrast to this hub
bub than that which is presented by the
dull decorum of an auction sale in
Amsterdam or Rotterdam. There
Mvnheer auctioneer sits behind a table
smoking his pipe. He Btates terms of
sale, waits for a bid, makes no baste,
creates no excitement, watches no coun
tenances, takes no nods or winks. Be
fore him stands a box filled with tapers,
If there is too long delay he lights one
of these in silence, and thrusts it on a
spindle fixed in the table. When it goes
out the last Didder taues tne article.
There is a curious old custom at Bil
lingsgate the great and well known fish
market in London of selling fish from
the boats as they arrive every morning.
bv an auction " of reduction," as it is
called. Every boat load is sold alto
gether. Twenty-five or thirty safes are
" ... " ti. . ii .,). .,: "
gOlflf; UII ttb UUUB. XUO IDUU1.UUN
auction always occurs in the early
morning, sometimes before light. Men
end women indiscriminately act as auc
tioneers and buyers, also men and wo
men walk np and down the docks scruti
nizing the cargoes. A bell rings and
the sales commence. In a large, flat
eondola are bloaters, owned by the
strapping fisbwoman, who now begins to
brawl to the buyers on shore as she
stands on the bow, " Here's your blott
ers, fine, large iarmouth bloaters; hve
shillings a cattle! Five shillings I Well,
four and tenpence be it then! Four and
ten Four, and ten! tour and nine,
then! Four and eieht!"
" I'll take 'em, old woman, at four and
eight," crjes a buyer from the landing
place, and forthwith the boat load is bis.
And so it goes for an hour, amid chafing
and scolding, screaming and sweancg:
" Mackerel, allibute. sole, salmon, cod,
addock," shouted a hundred times all
together; the boats nnlonded; porters
struggling, boys and girls cnunling the
"hunders" by themselves; fishmongers
frnm the West Jind selecting: errana
bovs running: fishwomen flouting each
other, and everybody blowing up every
body e se. until the great oen rings,
which ends the auction hour and opens
the morning market.
A Ulster's Love. '
There is something inexpressibly
touching in a sister's love. Her heart
is a realm of pure and earthly affection,
and happy Bhould that brother be to
whom she clings through the changing
scenes of the blighting world. She has
been bis companion in childhood; she
has watched the development of his
mind and Derson: she bus admonished
him when wrong and smiled upon his
triumphs; she has peopled his mind
with beautiful treasures ot ner own; sue
has taucht him thoBe virtues which will
render him a useful member of society,
nrenare bim for death, and embalm his
memory when he has passed away.
Sooner can yon bind the free wind than
seal up the springs of such mysterious
affections. They will Jlow'on and the
desert cave forget their progress-. And
as sorrow and misfortunes strip from
life its charms and dreams, there is one
recollection that will come like music to
brother s heart that will thrill upon
its darkened and troubled depths with a
atrance, vet sweet melodv. and bring up
scenes of borne and childhood long un
remembered. It is the recollection of a
sister's love.

SUPREME COURT-GENERAL TERM.
JOHN W. LE A et al. against SUNDRY
COUNTERFEITERS.
" When it is apparent that there is an inten
tion to deceive the public by the use of the
name of the place and the word descrip
tive of an article, such deception will not
be protected by the preteme that these
words cannot be used in su-h manner ar
to constitute a " trade mark."
Where words and the allocation of words
hav.. byloLguso. become known as des
ignating the article of a particular manu
facturer, he acquires a right to them as
trade mark, which cnmpetingd.alers can
not fraudulently invade
The essence of the wrong is the false repre
sentation and deceit, on proof of wbicb
an injunction will issue."
The roucludlriff words of the Judges'
decision are :
" The order appealed from should be modi
fled and the injunction extended so a. tn i.rn-
hibit the use of the words ' Worcestershire
Sauce' On the bills, label, and lunMn a
