Why Do Ruck TniNoa Go Unhjn
isirnu. The attention of tho clublied and
beltcil guardians of our city's peace and
welfare, in very emphatically called to tho
lawless gangs of negroes who daily congre
gate on or near the corner of Cherry and
Lino streets, and not only .making the lo
cality resonant with thoir gufTawa and half
civilized yah-yahs, but have two or threo
pitched battles daily. This, too, in one of
the thickest populated portions of our city,
yet the presence of a Metropolitan Police
man is rarely seen in tlat neighborhood.
Why, within tho last few days fivo several
fights have occurred among them, but no
arrests have been made by the police. Such
things do not speak well for the efficiency
of our police system, and unless matters
are remedied we shall be forced to the
opinion that some one in some locality is
neglectful of his proper duty. If a sentry
cannot be stationed in the vicinity, for
heaven's sake, oh, police, tike a stroll down
there at least once in a week.

The excitement in this city yesterday
relative to the lato unfbrtnnatpoccarrence
at Franklin, was in a. great measure
unabated. 'The' almost unprecedented
eagerness with which the people sought, the
talked of it. Everybody deprecated the
circumstances that led to so terrible a con

pecially was this evident, a large? Sonibei
of whom were a little inclined to din.

readily number him amonc the very few
-criminals of their nation. Occasionally
men are deceived and leu on by bad. un
principled knaves as a great many believe
Mr, BierSehl was the results almost invari
ably fall on the duped. In order to have
an investigation, we have dispatched to
J'ranklin for the letter written uy tne ne-
cro Israel Brown to John Nolin. This
letter we learn from gentlemen ofFrarik-
un, was unuouuieuiy .wntieu'pjr wo ruu-
Bcriber. from the fact that on the diy pre-
ceeding young Ezcll's death, Brown 'who
was at work for a gentleman near town left
the field which he was working and went
in town, savins ait ha did so that therd was
something big to come qT tn ioxen lfud vighl
and he didn't want lo miss it. The sequel is
known. Ezell was murdered Brown
escaped, became "mighty liard rub' as
he elates, and undoubtedly wrote that, let

The investigttion of tho case of Jotin
Noun, the .hxnress robber, was concluded
yesterday, but tho Magistrate preferred re
serving his decisionlpnul lue aliairs of his
accomplice could also be looked intq. Were
a suitable reward offered for the arrest of
Brown, we think the trne story might be
arrived at.
The following is a letter received from
our correspondent:
To thevEditors of the umoiuind Dispatch.
Franklin, Tenn., Aui?. 18. The ne
cessity for the. execution of Bearfield was
regTeUed by all good men. Hut to say or
imagine that .the citizens of Franklirf had
aught to do wltli'it is against truth and
every circumstance connected with the
tragedy. The Radicals in our midst aie
trying in every manner to prejudice tho
Israelites in tho State lo believe t is a war
waged against them. Surely the tnitlj will
vindicate itself, and every' man, Jew or
Gentile, will feel that Bearfield met his
death jintly, however much ho may con
demn the manner. It is known that the
terrible Ku-Klux Ivlan had nothing to do
with this murderers execution only a re-,
tributiveact of justice for the murder of a
poor boy, innocent in act and deed.
Our lladicah are using every endeavor
to create a sensatson among the mild Radi
cals of the Legislature. A report was in
circulation in your city bunuay lo mo ci
fect that Capt. James Clifl'e (eon of the
Receiver for several of Brownlow'a rail
roads) had been ordered out of town,, and
in consequence, wis compelled to sleep, in a
cornfiold Sunday night lo awid death.
This qallant Captain told the lien. Mr.
Wints this out of his own mouth, know
ing that Mr. Wines was mildly inclined
and thinking it would have its effect upon
the Legislature. Uh, to what peruuy will
they fall.
Uhe thing from beginning to end ia a tie,
and the Captain in telling ii lied. The
truth of that whole story is Una : Ilia
father, the Receiver, has given, him some
Kwition on one of Brownlow'a confiscated
railroads, and instead of attending to his
business as he should have done, he was
lounging around home too long lor his
vigilant Pipi. Therefore his Papa or-

else deny it if they dare, and we, the citi

TRUTH.
Tiir Faths Say So. That there is no
doubt of the election of Seymour in No
vember, the earth and the air bear witness
and even the insects which crawl Or uy
therein. A spider, endowed no doubt with
the prophetic spirit, took Up his nWIe in
a little shanty on Summer street, north of
Line, and diligently wove his web. On yes
terday the dweller of the shanty ohsp rved
the immenso size of tho web and was at
tracted also by certain peculiar appear
ance about it which, on examination
turned out to he the name of II. Seymour
largely aud plainly, woven into tho web.
Hundred of people visited tho place yes
tcrday evening, and were astonished as1 well
as rejoiced at tho unusual rtho. marvellous
work of the lonch' spider. ho can bo

In your issuo of Sunday ICth Inst, ap

Those who know the place believe tho
article the highest colored burlesque they
ever read, and are unable to view it in any
other light than a burlesque. There are a
few that don't know the place, and are in

We are tho more inclined to believe it a

NEGRO KADICAIaTlIIEVIvS.
"Stcntlng or tho Green Corn."
Nashville, at this particular time, is in
fested by a numberless band of lazy, loung
ing, negro thieves, who hang around groge"
ries during the day, attend meetings of tho
"Lqil" League, Radical political gather
ings, and cheer lustily for Grant, Colfax &
Co., and "oft in the stilly night,'' when
slumber's chains have bound all honest
personp, these midnight scoundrels sally
forth from the alleys and decs of the city
and forage upon our good citizens, who live
near town, unmercifully. An instance of
this kind was up beforo Justice Mathews
yesterday. Isham Anderson, a negro.thief,
entered iho corn fields of our friend M. S.
Combs, Esq., whose farm adjoins Edgefield
on the north, and was in tho act of leaving
with a "turn o' rosin' ears," when he was
detected by Mr. Combs, who caused his
arrest and appearance before Enquire
Mathewa. Anderson plead guilty,, and
under the small offense law was fined $10
and costs, and in default of tho fino was
sent to jail. This small offense, we take it,
is not a small offense by any means. There
are too many instances of the kind of -daily
occurrence, and we sincerely hope that the
authorities in disposing of this and similar
cases may prosecute them to the. very
fullest extent of the law.

Sconnilrelinm of tbo Wayne Comity
nerur, who TnUes the "liberty " of.
.'fojr lpon.a,nolr f Men ITnuc
The following information furnished' bv
iTBoyd, steamboat' agente. a eenlfeman
who enjoys confidence and respect wherever
ne is Known, may be taken by onr readers
a3 a truthful representation of affairs, in
Wayne county. Capt. .Boyd arrived in the
city from Wayne connly on' 'Monday, but
oemg compellled to go lo his home on the
Edgefield side of the river, he stopped, but
a lew momenta in the city. He statea that
while at Clifton, a village in Wayne county,
situated on'hfeTenriessee river, on Salur
jlay last, thai "three gentlemen from
Waynesboro arrived in the village and re
ported.substantially, that the negroes, somo
two or three hundred in number, were drill
ing with arms at the; Furnace aa previously
stated by us. That a party of twelve or
fifteen masked horsemen rode to the Fur
nace and remonstrated against the military
maneuvers, and suggested to the negroes
that they turnover their arms to the pro
prietor of the works that they might be
in turn, transferred to tho State authorities,
remarking at the time that if armed per
sona were allowed to march and counter
march through the country that the direst
calamities bight result from it. The ne
groes being approached in this mild and
pacific manner readily assented, saying as
they did so that they had been advised by
whitemen to commence drilling, that the
militfa Tverelo be called out, and of coniye
every man must be at his post. After this
result the horsemen rode back to Waynes
boro peacably and quiet.
Arrived in the town they were met by a
wurderonsVolley of musketry from a stock
ade near by tho Waynesboro ja.il, fired by
the, Sheriff and his possee, who during tho
absence of the horsemen, at the furnace,
had collected his crowd. Tho result of the
volley .was tho wounding of one man seri
ously in the shoulder, two others slightly.
and the killing, outright of four horses.
TheTiorsemen relorned the fire, but it is
thought without effect, as their assailants
;were Bhielded by the stockade. They then
turned and rode on, and Boon after dia.
peraed for their home8.
These we believe to be the true facta.
That tho drilling of the armed negroes,
apparently unauthorized at this fevered
$tate of tho public mind, was disorderly,
lawless and provocative ot great evil, all
will admit, that the appearance of these.
horsemen en masque was wrong, wo readily
admit, but the action of the Sheriff and
hia posse we must condemn in the strongest
terms. No man, simply because he hap
pens a be an officer and in favor with the
powers that be, should be allowed to pros
titute his power to any such, and if the au
thorities would but investigate the affair
and sift it & its bottom, this officer should
be summarily punished. That the whole
affair is deprecated by all the good citizens
of Wayne county is evident from the fact
that on baturday last a large peace meet
ing was held at Waynesboro, at which time
speeches were made and resolutions offered
denunciatory of the unfortnnate occurrence.

"Daring the past week tho market for
call loans has worked with extreme ease.
Yesterday tlicro wai a more active inquiry
for money, hut no advance in rates has yet
been established. Discounts have been
dull on long paper, whilo there has been
an improved demand for short paper. As
the week advanced there has been an in
creasing disposition to raise the rates of
discount. Demands from tho interior up
on the city banks have already been inaue
for funds to be employed in. moving the
crops, and it is probable that money will
soon command- higher interest. The gold,
market has been firm, b'ut withont special
features. It opened on Monday at 1 14CJ,
declined to 145 J, and has ranged between
that figure and 14S during the week.; Pe'r
siatent efforts have been made to check tho.
advance and depress the premium, wniclf
attempts havo caused two failures, one of a
well established house, which, it ia proper
to add, was also involved in stock specula
tio.-.s. Government bonds, after reaching
high figures, have experienced a sharp de
cline. Neither investment demand nor
sales by investors have been large The
advance appears to have been engineered
for the purpose of unloading."

What is to be done with these vast pro
ductions of the soil 1 Europe may, want
20,000,000 bushels of pur wheat, Init it is
estimated that we shall havo 40,000,000
bushels to spare. The accounts from Con
tinental Europe are not unfavorable, and it
is an old proverb among the farmers that
"drouth never yet bred dearth in Eng
land f and this i adage, Bays the' Oommer
rial Bulletin, is based upon the substantial
reason that to the extent that the green
crops are injured by dry weather, the wheat
crop is benefitted. Tho accounts ly the
last mail are generally oi a character tend
ing to show that the wheat crq has not
materially suffered from drouth. ' The
Mark Lane, London, merchants well un?
dcrstand the connection between the root
crops' and the wheat crops, and yet the fact
that wheat haa persistently fallen almost to
the verge of panic bIiows how little im
portance they attach to the effects of the
drouth.
Notwithstanding the favorable accounts
from the wheat crop of the West and North
west, the yield promising to exceed that of
any former year by many millions of bush
els, there haa been a considerable advance
in the price in the South within the last
ten day. It seems difficult to understand
why this advance should have taken, place,
or how it is expected to he t iwtainedi The
Kaoxvilje Pre and JBferot the 16lh
fnst says :
"The market for wheat dnring the past
week has continued excited and imgnlar,
and buyers seem determined1 tnfget their
"spiles" in. no matter what, the conse
quences. Along the Hue ef the Bast Ten
nessee and Virginia roaJ, every Tillage has
ita full complement of buyers, and the
question seems to he who ean ncnra the
moat grain, no matter what the mi to the
poor deluded miller who furnishes the
means. Early ia tho week Bales were
made af $1 801 90 for really good white,
hut before the bags could be filled, the
reckless itinerant buyers advanced the
price until $2 10, in some instances, has
been paid for ordinary from wagons. Bed,
is following at the heels of white, a'nd may
he quoted' at $1 851 95. We hear of
sales of 4000 bushels prime white at $2,
and this is the maximnm paid by respon
sible parties."

Hat thus far we have little outside activity,
and there is a feeling or disappointment
among jobhers al the long delay. The ex
treme heat of the weather has had some
hin todo with it; in addition to this a
prevalent disquiet among businessmen has"
diacouraged large ventures. There is no
settled earne3tnesa of pnrpose among the
trading classes, and will not be until tho
political status of the country is more clear
ly defined, with a better prospect of con
tinued renose from exciting partisan agita

than cblions, owing1 to the improvement in
the clothing business, but there is not much

Corn. The very full snpplies of this
grain which have reached here during the
week, has caused a heavy decline in the
article, and under pressure to sell very low
rates have been accepted. Tennessee whlta
opened at the first of the week at $1 47
148, but has declined to $1 40, $1 35,
$1 30, $1 25, $1 20 and $1 17 per bushel,
by the car load from the depot, weight,

can be used, and. -which , will, to a consid
