JOHN M. GALLOWAY, of Payett County. BARBOUR IN EIILE. A Washington special dated September 28th to the Cincinuati Commerciai contains the following choice morsel of news: Hon. Barbour Lewis, Representative in Congress from Memphis, Tennessee, and a candidate for re-election, is in the city one of the numerous carpet-baggers who do not stay to brave real or fancied perils among the people whom they pretend to represent.

There has been nothing to indicate that Memphis was a dangerous place for anybody, but Mr. Lewis declares with a gravity that is quite comical that he ready does not think it would be safe for one of his pre-nonnced opinions to remain in that locality. The solemn manner in which he accounts for his presence here creates a great deal of amusement Alas, for Barbour Lewis! his fate is a mournful one. He has lived in Memphis ever since the war, and al. hough he has lied on the people when at home and abroad, be has never been able to turn to a martyr.

In times of the hiuhest excitement he has walked the streets and traveled the country without the slightest danger of being noticed. If some fifteen-year old boy would only lap his jaws or spit in his face, Lewis could travel North and show his gaping wounds. But this pleasure has been reserved for the future, and he can only show bis gaping mouth. He was elected to Congress at a time when the Conservatives were utterly divided; but they will avoid such folly again. Barbour sees defeat staring him in the face; he knows that Casey Yonng will peel the epidermis from his political back as a skillful surgeon would use the knife on a dead subject.

That is what he dreads the merited excoriation that is in store for bim whenever he faces Colonel Young. No doubt he considers it perilous at this late day to make bis appearance in this district, although the old blackguard remained unmolested here at the August election and at the time of the disturbances at Somerville and No wonder, when he ponders over the 4300 Conservative majority in Shelby county, he concludes "it would not be safe for one of bis pronounced views to remain here." But how about the pronounced views of Ed Shaw, who draws his pay as wharf-master, Esquire Thompson (colored), delegate to the late Chattanooga Convention, Captain Garrett, late Radical candidate for Sheriff, General W. J. Smith and the greater and lesser lights of the party who daily to and fro on our streets without a guard as other citizens? Tbey have remained here at the mercy of the Ku-Klux, and not one of them has ever been molested. Barbour wishes to impress the Government with the idea that he is the biggest old owl in the woods.

He can fool nobody. The Republican party of Shelby county has gentlemen in its ranks, but Lewis ii not one of them, being alike destitute of truth, honor and courage. He sneaks aronnd Washington trying to create sympathy and pass for a martyr. He is a specimen carpet-bagger, whose presence at Washington will do much to disgust the decent men of his party. It is rumored that he is seeking an appointment of some kind at the hands of the government, but we should think his chances exceedingly slim.

The government has about as little use for him as have the decent people of this Congressional district. HARD TIMES AHD TIE CAUSE. And now the Western railroads are reducing the number and pay of their employes. Had Horace Greeiey been elected such a state of affairs would have been held up by the Radicals as the result of his administration. The hoe, however, happens to be on the other foot, and the Radicals raise the cry of "stop thief," by a clamor about alleged Southern outrages.

The peo- pie of the YY est have, heard this iust belore every eievuuu r.nce tne war and will not always be deceived. They begin to see that the extravagance the covers ment. the subsidies to mo nopolies, the high tariff and the persist ent oppression of the cotton States are the great underlying causes of all their troubles. There will be no permanent relief nntil there is a change in the management of public affairs. The Republican party has failed to effect any reform from within, and the true reform will have to originate from the ranks of the opposition, of whatever name.

What Grn.rl Wilder Told Trl. taironUiii to (lie Adiuimmrnlfon Sinn Uvnnrt.r Knn DHCft-Bl A Waterloo lera Anticipates- From the New York Tribune, September 28 The condition of rjolitical affairs in Tennessee aDnears to be somewhat criti cal, and may lead to a serious ouioreau in the Western part of the State, as well na an entire chanee of the vote in East Tennessee. General J.

h. Wilder, of Chattunooca. in response to the inqui ries of a reporter of the Tribune, said that a strong antagonistic feeling to the administration had been manifested lately, and would lead to the entire defeat of the Republican party in East Tennessee, although an actual outbreak was not feared. He wonld not answer so much in. favor of a long continued Dacific feeling in the Western part of the State, for the majority of the former slave owners had not yet recovered from the effects of the war, and had also suffered from so many other causes that they would be likely to break out on the slightest provocation.

From a conversation which he had that day held with Judge George Andrews, of Knoxville, he had earned that the less educated portion 01 the inhabitants of East Tennessee, who had been Union men during the rebellion, and supporters of the Republican Administration since the war, had bad their minds inflamed by political demagogues on the subject of the civil rights bill. Without taking the trouble to inquire into the matter, they had received the impression that the present Administration had resolved to make the negro the equal of the white man, but also his ruler; and this they thought was going too far. They had, therefore, resolved at the coming election to overturn everything like Republican rule in East Ten nessee, from what Judge Anarews naa told bim, he (General Wilder) felt con- inced that the whole btate ot Aennes- see, east and west, wonld go Democratic at the next election, ana mat uuiuing could now be done to prevent this. The ndustrial portion of West iennessee ppears to be somewhat at a stanasiiu, but in East Tennessee a steady ana healthy progress had taken place since the close of the rebellion. xew York.

Booth' Theater to bo Hold The Irian KIQenirn lo llall in wni-Tbe Chicago Insurance Bualneaa. Nkw York, September 30. Booth's theater will be sold under foreclosure on the 5th of November. The friends of Booth are making efforts to save the theater and let it remain in his hands. They state that the unsecured creditors will extend all the leniency he may re- uire, and if enough money can be raised to satisfy the mortgages, amount ing to three hundred thousand dollars, security for which is good, the affairs of Edwin Booth may be arranged.

Captain Leech and others of the Irish team and party expect to leave this city on Saturday, to be absent five or six weeks, visiting Niagara Falls, Chicago, Cincinnati and other Western cities as far as Hannibal, Mo. A Boston dispatch says that fears are ntertained for the safety of a St. John's steamer, which left Eastport Monday morning and was due in Boston yeater- ay afternoon. She has on board a number of people returning from the International boat race, including the oarsman, Morris. In regard to the challenge of the Irish earn for an International match in Dub lin next year, George mgate, Fres- dent of the American Amateur Rifle Club, writes: The expense of such an undertaking will be very great and will probablyiorm the main obstacle to the matter being carried to a successful con clusion.

If this can be arranged, I think it very probable that a team may be had to cross the ocean to shoot a return maech, and who if they may not succeed in bearing off the palm of victory, would endeavor to bear their defeat with the same magnanimous spirit which has been displayed by our Irish The proprietors of several prominent jobbing and commission houses in this city expressed their opinion yesterday to a reporter concerning the recent action of the New York underwriters in reference to insurance risks in Chicago. The several opinions seemed to be that more noise and speculation had been created over this matter than it deserved. One firm slated they were giving the usual credit, and would prob- continne to do so, inasmuch as they believed the people of Chicago and the underwriters would effect a compro mise. This was the opinion of nearly every merchant with whom the reporter conversed. TOREIGS.

GUBERNATORIAL. The Canvass Queued at Jones bo ro by Porter and fflaynard. The Issue Clearly Statodand Ably Handled by Oar Me Governor, Nashvills, September 30. -The speech of Judge Porter, Demooratio candidate for Governor, delivered in Jonesboro yesterday, is published in full in the city press this morning. On the financial question he says the Democratic party is pledged to economy in the administration of the State government and against an increased taxa tion.

The great drouth and our present poverty made it necessary to oppose an increase of taxation, and the practice of economy, always wise and proper, is now our escape from insolvency, and in the enforcement of this idea there is an ab solute necessity that all useless and un necesary offices must be abolished, exces sive salaries reduced and men who con trol and collect public revenue held to the strictest accountability; the credit and eood name of the State must be maintained and all its just debts and ob ligations paid. The Democratic party cannot afford to be cannet afford to imperil its good name by the adoption of any policy that looks to repudiation. In four years of Democratic rule in Tennessee the bonded debt of the State has been reduced from $43,052,628 66 to $20,980,851 25. The old issues ef the Bank of Tennes- see, amounting to iu uas been received into the treasury and canceled. The floating debt, consisting in part of outstanding treasury warrants, amounting October 1, Io7I, to 417 27, has been reduced up to July 1, 1874, to 01.

The loan account Iibs been reduced since January 1, 1874, from $300,000 to $121,000, and the country demands that this good work shall be contianed until this great incubus is taken from our shoulders. On eur civil rights question he says: The position occupied by the Democratic party of Tennessee on this grave question is well defined, and cannot be misunderstood, and has rry unqualified indorsement, but I am not opposed to the bill now pending in the Congress of the United States because of any opposition I have to doing full justice to the colored people. When a member of the Legislature of Tennessee I voted against a bill to expel free negroes from the State when such Union men as Senter, Trewhitt and others of East Tennessee were earnest advocates of the measure. Free negroes had no voice in public affairs then, and my action was simply the result of a disposition then, as now, to do them justice. In iennessee the colored man has all the civil rights that are secured to the white man, and no party seeks to nturfere with their enjoyment.

It is true the temporary chairman of the Convention that nominated my competitor, as stated, thrice repeated the statement that if the Democratic party was re stored to power it would remand the colored man back to slavery. And I refer to it to say that it was made through gnorance or partisan malice, and whether intended or not, is a gross slander upon a party composed of men more loyal in every sense of the word than their detractors. My competitor was present when the slander was published, and it is for him to say whether he consented to it. The purpose of this address was to arouse a feeling of enmity on the part of the blacks to the whites in order to enforce party discipline and impose upon the credulity of the black man, and to blind him, if possible, to his true interests and to a disposition of his real friends. What more than this da the colored people want? If they are wise or thoughtful they muBt know that it is an impossibility while they are now full participants in thd benefits of our common school system.

The action of the Superintendent of Public Instruction during last summer, in suspending the entire system when it was believed that the pending bill would become a law, must have learned the colored people that, while the tax-payers of the State generally admitted them to a full participation in the benefits of the common schools, they would destroy the whole system before they will be made the victims of the Congressional social rights bill. I repeat that I do not oppose this bill because of my unwillingness to see justice done to this people, but the reverse. I do not want to see this gross act of injustice put upon them. I believe that the two races, if let alone, can and will live harmoniously, for I cannot forget that through four years of war no hand of revolt, sedition or mutiny was lifted np by them. They thug demon strated to thj world that their eight mil lions of masters were not merciless des- riots, and that, contrary to all outside views, a kindly feeling did exist between the two races: and I believe that whenever the colored people learn to appre ciate the political prostitutesand carpet baggers by whom they are now influ enced and controlled, the whites and blacks will live along aide of each other with mutual good will and good offices The people of Tennessee will resist the passage of this bill, and its execution if it becomes a law, in every legal way possible, for tbey are slow to believe that it is competent for Congress to regulate our schools, or to determine how our hotel keepers shall bestow their guests, or by whose side we shall sleep after death; but unless our people are united and a sentiment of opposition created that will be felt in Washington, this bill will pass in December and be approved by the President.

He has already recommended the enactment of a law to better secure the civil rights, which freedom should secure, but has not effectually secured, to the enfranchised slave; and Senator Morton, of Indiana, Republican leader of the Senate, denounces the mischievous impression that hag been made in the South, that the President would veto the bill, as being without foundation, and the Republican party everywhere was fully committed to it. A Jonesboro special to the Union and American says: The gubernatorial canvass opened at this point. The speaking began at 12:30 in the courthouse. Ex- President Johnson was inside the rail ing, the house was densely crowded and all cave the utmost attention. Mr, Porter spoke first an hour and a half.

It was a masterly effort in denunciation of the Republican administration of affairs, Maynard'i action in Congres, civil rights and his evident intention to dodge it since the Chattanooga conven tion. At the close of his speech be was loudly applauded. Mr. Maynard spoke at length ot the penitentiary lease, assess ment law, funding bill, Gibson county matter and tbe sale of railroads. He denied sucDorting the mixed school clause of the civil rights bill, and denounced Governor Brown's administra tion in the strongest terms.

The ladies are manifesting more than usual interest in consequence of the liberal and appreciative premiums which have been offered for their handiwork. We are satisfied that the hall which will contain the textile fabrics and domestic manufactures will be tbe central point and headquarters of the ladies of Memphis and surrounding country for the five days jf the coming Fair. The school children of Memphis and Shelby county and the surrounding towns are specially invited to attend free white children on Friday, colored children on Wednesday. We hope to see all our neighboring towns represented at this great reunion of school children.

Baleiab Hold Oat. A few days Bince a gentleman who, in years gone by, was a well known news paper proprietor in this city, visited Ra leigh and came very near buying ont the entire village. He purchased a woolen factory and gave his notes for the same. He offered to purchase several fine dwellings at the prices asked by the owners, but refused to pay any money down. He also wished to purchase the Raleigh Springs Hotel and railroad in payments of one, two and three years, and at the prices aBked by the proprietors.

Other bids were made by this gentleman, who had the reputation of having made a vast fortune in Colorado. The time of payments did not suit the Raleighites, and all the trades were recalled. It is now rumored at Raleigh that the would-be sellers of property had been hoaxed, and that the gentleman who desired to purchase the village is not of sound mind, but has a mania for buying real eetate and personal property. At Raleigh to ask a man how much he will take for his property is to run the risk of being Ku-Kluxed or ducked in Wolf river. Ir you Willett's.

3t An Offlee for Homebody. It having become known that Attorney General A. M. Stephens, of the Bartlett Circuit Court, had gone to Colorado with a view to settling in that land, and in that event he would tender his resignation as Attorney General, quite a stir was made ia legal circles among the young lawyers of our city, and a score of candidates were ready to go for the rime by soliciting the appointment from the Governor. But unfortunately for the aspirants they do not recollect that residing in Memphis renders them ineligible to the office; for as the Bartlett Circuit Conrt has no jurisdiction in Memphis, the officers of that Court must reside outside of the city and within the jurisdiction of the Court of which they may aspire to be Attorney General.

This legal fact escaped the legal minds ef the office seekers. However, should the office become vacant in the manner above intimated, no doubt a number of our young lawyers will become residents of the pleasant village of Bartlett with a view to rendering themselves eligible.

In the First Circuit Court John Myers has filed a petition for divorce against Cecelia Myers. The petition among other things alleges that the parties intermarried in thi a city in July, 1871, and had lived together until the present year, 1874, when the defendant separated from him and commenced leading a life of shame. That during the past year he had made several discoveries as to her habits and character, which were not calculated to impress him favorably as to her virtue in fact, that he had positive and occulnr proof of her guilt, and for all of which he prays for a divorce a vinculo.

A Diamond Pin. Yesterday detective Cranmer arrested a man named Lawaon on the charge of having in his possession a stolen diamond pin. The pin originally was presented to a man named Jamison by Mrs. Gallagher. Jamison lost the pin, and a few nights since in North Memphis saw womau wearing it.

She said that Lawson gave her the pin, and Lawaon says he found it in a hack, he being at that time a hack driver. The mixed case will be heard by Recorder Winters to-morrow morning.
