A magistrate informed an Appeal com-missioner yesterday that an epidemic of crimeoccasionally breaks out in Memphis; then fora week there is nothing doing in a criminalway. When the country darkies come to townto trade they are beset with colored thievesand confidence men, who lore them into allkinds of dives and get them drank, and thenrob tdem. This causes the thieving epidemic.When the rural darkies remain at home theoccupation of the city thieves ia gone.

Cloudy and murky weather prevailedyesterday, indicating and threatening rain.The local weather prophets who sported cornsor bunions were to a man of opinion that arain-stor- was on hand. Like the goose-bou- e,

An intoxicated white man, yesterday,while standing near the edge of the bluffsand admiring the scenery in Arkansas, be-

came absent-minde- d and dizzy and tumbledover the bank, falling or sliding a distanceof forty feet. When he reached the landingat the foot of the bluff, he was soberer thanwh.n he etarted down the inclined plane.He shook himself, looked upward at the pointfrom whence he came so suddenly, andwalked slowly away as if indulging in deepthought over the mutability of things on thisearth.

At ten o'clock last night a fire was dis-covered in the unoccupied store-roo- No.340 Main street, two doors south of Unionstreet, east side.

JEFFERSON DAVIS'S LEGACY.

Withdrawal of Oue of lira. Sarah Der-ey'- ai

Heir rreut the Halt te Cea-te- at

Her Bequest.

New York special to the St. Louis Eepublican: Mrs. Thomas S. Ellis, of Philadel-phia, the widow of a brother of Mrs SarahA. Dorsey, of Beaovotr, Mississippi, whowilled all of her estate to Jefferson Davis,has withdrawn from the contest of Mrs.Dorsey 's will, although through the childrenof her husband she obtains equal rights tothe other contestants. The Republicancorrespondent called upon Colonel S. PercyEllis, who is the chief contestant, tosubstantiate this fact and also to in-

quire what effect it would have upon the con-test. He said that his sister-in-la- w had beenleft out of the bill of complaint, and thathimself, Mrs. Peckham, of Louisiana, hitsister, and Mortimer Dahlgren, ot St. Louis,were the contestants. "I am prepared toprove," said Colonel Ellis, "that Mrs. Thom-as L. Ellis was bought off from the contestby a bribe from Jefferson Davis, and, if thequestion arise", I will prove it. The case isnow before Justice Ward, of the UnitedStates court, in New Orleans, on the demurrerinterposed by Jefferson Davis's counsel, andmy counsel has one more hearing before theargument is closed. We certainly expect adecision in cur favor. Jefferson Davis demursto our complaint, claiming that, while we al-

lege undue influence, we, at the aame time,dwell on tne fact that Mrs. Dorsey posssessedextraordinary talents; but, while he picks outthis statement, he omits the one m which weallege that she was also a monomaniac uponthe subject of religion and hero-worshi- p, andthat, as Jefferson Davis was her hero, be em-ployed his knowledge of that fact to influenceher to give him all her property on the the-ory that his services in be bait of the southhad never been fully rewarded. We have em-ployed able counsel here as well as in NewOrleans, and we propose to make a vigorousfieht tor our rights." Mr. Ellis also accusesMr. Jefferson Davis of having misstated thevalue ot Mrs. Dorsey 'a estate, which he issaid to have fixed at thirty thousand dollars.The house at Beanvoir, which alone costthirty thousand dollars to build, is, Mr. Ellissays, worth to day more than one-hal- f thatsum, and there is in all nearly thirty thou-sand acres of land. There are three splen-did plantations, all of which are more or lessnnder cultivation.

T11E COTTON SPECULATORS

Of Memphis are not at all Afleetrd bjthe Decision of Judge Pierce

They Trill Deal

In Futures Through Kew York or LIterpool House I as they hare for

Ten Years Past.

An Appeal representative took a walkaround among the dealers in cotton futuresyesterday, in order to learn what theytheught cf the recent decision of JudgePierce, of the Shelby county circuit court,wherein he declared that eeuiing in futureswas a gambling transaction that renderedthoe en&aed in it liable to indictment bythe grand jury, and to punishment by thecriminal court.

SPECULATOR NUMBER ONEinformed our reporter that those who havebeen in the habit ot speculating in "futures",and who are now engaged in it, do the busi-ness with New York bouses and by telegraph.If foa want "futures" for any particularmonth, you telegraph your want? and theyare supplied. You also telegraph the amountof margin you have to put up. There arefour or five persons here who act es agentsfor the New York firms, and through thesehouses you transact alt the business you wantwithout violating the laws of Tennessee, be-

cause the transactions are commenced andcompleted in New York, aisd not m Mem-phis. Speculator No. 1 added that heconsidered the business perfectly legiti-mate, and that ha had made money oltenten dollars a bale by so speculating.

baying cotton ior future delivery asall right, because the cotton was there toback the transaction, if necessary. He

that if the systsm of dealing in "fu-tures" was prohibited aud prevented, thatit would seriously affect the -- general market,and would be to the detriment of the pro-ducer.

FROUT STREET MERCHANT NUMBER TWOsaid he regarded dealing in "futures" as apernicious system that should be prevented.You can deal in"future"here to any amount;the transactions will take place either at NewYork or Liverpool, Eugland, and agents arehere representing both points. He believedthe business was the worst kind of gambling,and had a bad effect upon the market. Hewished it could be interdicted everywhere.FRONT STREET MERCHANT NUMBER THREEremarked that be had ben watching thetransactions in "futures" for man v year?, andknew something about them. That iof thepast two years the dealing in "futures" hasbeen in the interest and has benefited theproducer, or planter, and the factor, and notthe buyer. For the past five years he did notbelieve that the dealing had had any badeffect upon the market, it being as oftenfavorable to the planter as to the buyer. Twoor three years ago planters as well as othersdeal; largely in "futures," but now few hereare engaged in the business. All such busi-ness is ordered through agents here fromNew York and Liverpool by telegraph,and the margin put up is sent on in likemanner. He did not believe that the amountot this business done here cut any figure inthe market at present.

MERCHANT NUMBER FOURwas met at the cotton exchange by our inter-viewer. When asked his opinion as to "fu-tures" he pointed to the blackboard, where-on were chalked the quotation" of "futures"at New Orleans and New York, and re-

marked: If that is all right then all kinds ofgambling is right. It is a gambling trans-action no better than playing faro or anyother game of chance or speculation. Hebelieved the business ought to be suppressedin every State. The courts of New Yorkand other States have rendered decisionssimilar to that recently announced by JudgePierce, of the circuit court, but the budineesin New York city aud other points continuesto go on. So long as transaction" of thischaracter can be perfected in New York andLiverpool, so long will speculators here en-gage in the business. No business uf thischaracter is permitted in the Memphis cot-ton exchange; all of it is transacted throughagents here, but all such business is perfect-ed in New' York and Liverpool. There issome little dealing in "Matures" done herebetween individuals, but that amounts tooothing.

Oar reparter mentioned the matter to anumber of factors and buyers. They diddid not seem to think that the amount afdealing in futures indulged in by Memphisspeculators had any appreciable effect on ourmarket. They believed that during thepresent year such transactions, carried on inNew York and Liverpool, had buoyed up themarket south and had been beneficial to theplanter. They agreed, however, that it wasa bad system and a gambling transactionthat ought to be suppressed. Our reporterdiscovered that the boys who dealt in futuresby telegrams to New York and to Liverpool,thought the opinion of Jadgo Pierce a hugejoke that concerned them cot, because theywere not violating any law ot lennessee, andthey had a right to risk their money on theirjudgment in any manner they saw fit. Theagents here of New York and Liverpoolfirms that are engaged in the trade ofselling futures, know their business andmerely introduce you by telegram to theircorrespondents, with whom you can investhundreds or thousands of dollars, if you sodesire, in "futures."

THE TORBITT ISSUE.

Joha H. Mavage Slakes an Attack uponthe Circuit Court ot Madison

County,

And Taken Great Credit to Himselffor Ilng his Duty as a

lawyer.

We copy the following letter from theNashville Banner of the sixteenth, to the ed-

itor of which paper it was addressed :

Bowling Green, Kt., February 14. 1880.The break in tne "Northwestern" has put me on

this line. 1 see that some newspapers are publish-ing statements In regard to the trial of the "TorbittIssue" case, at Jackson, which are calculat--d tomislead unsuspecting persons and to enable sun-ning speculators to unload by selling at high llguresworthless paper tuat they purchased for a cent ortwo on Oje dollar. The trial and verdictwas a farce, and so regarded by the citizens presentThe victory claimed wu such a victory as the Greekwon over the Roman, when be said, "anothersuch victory and I am ruined." It wasobtained by tactics and methods not likelyto avail on another trial. The defendant

the State of Tennessee pleaded severalpleas, upon which Issue was jo'ned by the plaintiff,among others, "That the Torbitt Inure was signedand circulated by the officers of the bank to give Bidand comfort to the rebellion." The Juiy was swornto try these issues. They disagreed aud returned noverdict thereon. The plaintiff's counsel, at the re-quest of the court (which was excepted to by de-fendant), presented several propositions additionalto the Issues Joined In the pleadings. The court di-

rected the court to find spatially on these the Juryreported a disagreement in part as to these addi-tional matters. The court Instructed them to returna verdict so far as they bad agreed upon the propo-sitions of plalnt'ff's counsel, which I bey did, andupon the lludlug outside of the pleadings, and inviolation ot the practice and custom ot Tennesseecourts, the reputed Judgment was rendered.The defendant excepted to all of this and ap-pealed to the supieme court, and confidently ex-

pected a reversal. If this suit Is lost not less thanseventeen hundred thousand dolUrs, probably sev-eral millions, will be levied as taxes upon the peopleot the Stale Mucn might be said about themethods, means and appliances that will be used togain It. Though constantly assailed. I have beensilent, and should not speak now but to expose apolicy and combination which seeks to tlx this bur-den on the people and to nil the pockets ot specula-tors and their agents, by selling the propertyot the poor aud driving them to sekbomes beyond our borders. The columnsof certain papers are filled with abuse ofmyself and Mr. Wilson. I caie nothingfor malice. They hate me. and print for the ringsthat pay them. The object and purpose of thispolicy means to Influence courts Juries, legislaturesand public opinion in tavor of this injustice. TheTorbitt Issue, In my opinion, stands on no higherground morally or politically than Confederatemoney or Tennessee war bonds, and while 1 have avoice to speak or a tribunal to appeal to the peopleshall be defended against It. Kor shall Judical leg-

erdemain prevent a fair trial anon the merits by aJury without my earnest protest.

Last Sunday Deputy United States Collec-tor A.

The moonshiners surrounded thehouse but made no attack, fearing the resultsof a charge. They demanded that the offi-

cers surrender the still, but the demand wasperemptorily refused. The officers remainedin the house and under arms all night, andwhen day came the mo cahiners had de-

camped, fearing recognition. The officersproceeded on their way to Paris with the cap-tured still and other things used bv the moon-

shiners in their illegal business. The raid sosuccessfully carried out was.planned bv Gen-eral R. F. Patterson, collector of UnitedStates internal revenue, of our city.

Henry Smith Trial at CriminalCourt for the Harder of Cnaaey

Long-Statem-ent of Princi-pal Witness.

At the criminal court yesterday, HenrySmith, an negro, was placed ontrial on indictment charging him with themurder of a colored woman, Chaney Long,which crime was committed in South Mem-phis some two years ago. Smith hns hadtwo trials, has twice been convicted of mur-der in the first degree. The supreme courton appeal set the first verdict aside, and atthe last term of the criminal court, when hewas a second time convicted of murder,Judge Horrigan granted bim a new tridl, theground tor the same being misconduct of thejury. The following jurors were selectedyesterday to hear and determine the case:J. D. Lockridee, A. W. Grady, John Wen-de- i,

John Hoffman. A. T. Gaynor, D. P.Goldsmith, James Pimm, H. H. Harris, J.W. Paye, F, M. Heidel, G. W. Andersonand G. Salen. The State was representedby Attorney-Gener- al Turner and the de-

fendant by Messrs. John Loague and JohnT. Mom. Tha principal witness was a cdI-or- ed

girl who was sleeping in bed withChaney Long at the time the murder wascommitted. Her statement was that she sawHenry Smith and Chaney Locg on the Sat-urday before the murder (whion latter oc-

curred on Tuesday night following) at themarkethouse talking together; than Smithand Chaney Ljug went home together. Sho(the witness) reached Chauey Lome's housesame afternoon, and saw her and Smith sit-ting at the door they were talking. Smithwent away, and Tuesday evening he cameback and called Chaney Long out. Theyhad some conversation and Smith appearedto be angry. He said to her: "You are doingme no good and I will be d d if you willdo any other man any good." He then left,cursing as he went away. The girl andChaney Long went to bed about eleveno'clock, and before retiring the lamp wasturned down and placed oa the hearth. In themiddle of the night she was awakened bysomething striking her oa the face. Whenshe collected her senses the lamp-ligh- t wasturned up and wasjburning brightly; the han-dle ot an ax lay across her face, and the bladeof tbe ax was buried up to the eye in the headof Chaney L)ng, who was steeping on the in-

side of the bed, near the wall. She saw noone in the roam. She leaped out of Led anddiscovered that Chaney Long had been mur-dered". Chaney Long was breathing at thetime, but did not speak; the blood flowed fromthe wound in her head over the bed. Thegirl ran oui of the house and screamed mur-der, when the neighbors came in and dis-covered that Chaney Long was dead.The above was the statement of tbe prin-cipal witness, her evidence being circumstan-tial altogether, but very strong. Other wit-nesses were examined and the case will befarther heard to-da- y.

As Mtlll the Same la Sorrow, Shameand Death The Story of an Erring,

Dying Woman A Brief, SadLife.

Cincinnati Enquirer, Sunday: "A sadscene, one that shows up vioe in its mosthideous form, was enacted yesterday at thedoor of a house of ill-fa- kept by Mrs.Avery, at No. 133 Longworth street. It wasthe meeting between an erring daughter andher almost heart-broke- n parents, to whomshe had sent an imploring letter beseechingthem to take her from her abode ot sin, andgive her Bhelter beneath an honest roof dur-ing the 6hort remainder of her li'e. The ap-peal was not in vain, and yesterday afternoondenizens of that square observed a lady,whose premature gray hair betokened earlysorrow, peering ia the door-ways- , as if lothto enter. The hack from which she had justalichted stood near, and beside it was seen agentlemen, who, as it was ascertained, wasthe husband cf the lady who was making asearch for tbe desired number. B.ito partieswere well dressed, and bore evidence ot theutmost respectability. Presently, with astifled cry uf pain and embarrassment, thelady staried with hurritd s.eps toward thedoor of the Avery bouse (ono of the lowestbouses ot prostitution in the city), where,standintr oa the threshold she espied herwhom she sought her daughter. Tne poorgirl she was apparently but a little overeighteen looked pale and emaciated. Herdark hair was arranged with scrupulouscare, and her black eyes had in them a lookot unutterable misery. With a cry ot'Mother!' she sprang dowa th. steps, and inaa instant was clasped in the outstretchedarms of her best and truest friend. She wasthen led to the carriage in waiting, and theparty drove away. The unfortunate womanthus taken to a borne she had dUgraced wasMrs. Mollie M'Mullen, who, four years ago,at the age of nineteen, was married to JohnM'Muilen, of 77 Pendleton street. Soon af-

ter her marriage a separation waa effectedbetween her and her husband, since whichrime the wife has drifted about the city, andfinally became identified with the abandonedclass. Not long ago she contracted an ill-

ness which settled upon her lungs, and whichwill most probably prove fatal er long.Realizing the fact that she has not long tolive she wrote to her father and mother re-questing them to take her homo to die. Witha noble devotion that is most beautiful fromits rarity, tbe dieraced parents determinedto watch over her declining days, and to thisend transferred her to their comfortablehome, where the misguided woman now lies

a total physical wreck. The mother claimsthat her poor child was driven to her modeof life by the prosecution and neglect of tbeman who four short years ago promised, at.the altar, to love and cherish her until deathdid them part. That after separation herdaughter tell under the blandishment of asmooth-tongue- d rttscal in this city, and fromthis time her ruin is dated. Tbe earnestprayer of the grief stricken but devoted par-ents is that their poor darling's sufferingsmay soon be ended in the crave."

A Jtrave Journalistes.Indianapolis Journal interview: " By

the way, did you work nights on the Inter-Oce- an

?'" 'Ob, certainly, the same as days.'" 'D.d you hive an escort?'" 'No, never, except by accident, l was

out aloae at all hours of the night, wentstraight along, and was never meddled with.I'll tell you confidentially that I carried apistol when I first began, and I know how touse it, but I soon left it at home, and came tothe conclusion that the men of Chicago wereao tame and gentle that they did not need tohave it drawn on them. I think presence ofmind is more protection than a pistol, any-way.' "

Cad for Ingersoll to Chew.To R. G. Ingersoll 's complaint that it costs

twelve million dollars per annum to maintainthe preachers in the United States, the Cen-tral Biptist replies that the lawyers annuallycoat the people about seventy million dollars,the criminals forty million, and intoxicatingliquors six hundred million dollars. If alsoreminds the colonel that it costs somebodyabout twenty thousand dollars a year morethan any minister gets tor his services topay for lectures on "Skulls," "Mistakes ofMoses," "Thomas Paine," and for pitchinginto the clergy generally.
