We will, on the firet of September, Issue our usual anLUsI review of the cot ton trade of the city, together with a retumc of the general market for the year. The edition of the Appeal of that date will be unmuaily large, offer ing facilities for advertisers auch as in other years they have not hesitated to avail themselves of. In order to facili tate us in our efforts to cater for the pub lie acceptably, and creditably to our- selves, we remind our friends thm early and solicit, a continuance of the gener- ous support which for thirty-si- x yean the people of Memphis have extended to the Appeal. Orders for papers and advertisements will be received up ot the last day of this month at our counting-- room. .

Cam- pbell refos;s, in a card in the Jackson IVhig and Tribune, to be a candidate for the State e from Msdlson county. Mr. William A. Moore, of Michi- gan, is of opinion that the Democrats ot that State will cerry five of the nine congressional d stricts, and tbatTilden and Ilaudricks will carry the State. The speech of Governor Hendricks, published on cur eecond page, will be found good reading. It ia conciliatory and conservative, b?Ing in these respecis a remarkable contrast to the diatribe of Senator Morton. Here U a hint for Memphis: The new cotton fictory at Atlanta will be one of the large: t in the wo: Id. It will con- tain twenty-on- e thousand five hundred spindles and five hundred looms, and when in full operation wll give employ- ment to over live hundred operators. The reports of the No-fol- Savan- nah and Charleston cotton exchanges are a'l favorable. Cotton is looking well and doing well in a majority of in- stances in North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Fiordi, Alabama, Mississippi and S ;uth Carolina. The "regulars" of the Republican party have purchased the Little Beck Evening Star, and it made its appear- ance yesterday evening a full fledged Itepubiicsn organ, supporting Joseph Brooks for governor. Judge John M'Clure, better k sown as "t'eker Jack," is the editor. General Sherman denies in toto the report tbat he would retire from the army after the fourth of March, in tho event of the election of Hayes and "Wheeler, in order to admit of the ap- pointment of General Grant as his suc- cessor. He says there is not a word of truth in it, and no ground? for it. A call has been made in the Jackson Whig and Tribune, upon Judge Milton Brown, to accept the nomination of the Democratic party in Madhon county for repnssntaiive in the next legislature. The call saya: "With Blair in the sen- ate, and Judge Brown, the tried and true, in the lower house, old Msdlson would be well repw sentad." There can be no doubt about New Jersey. She has cast her vote for a Democratic candidate for the Presiden- cy since 1853, oxcept in 1861, when she gave Lincoln four and Douglas three votes, and in 1873, when she preferred Grant to Greeley. In 1851 her Demo- cratic majority was two thousand; in 186-5- , three thousand; in 1859, two thou- sand. Mr. William H. Henderson, a prominent citizen rf IntiianRpolis, Eays the substitut.'on of Harrison's name for that of Orth, for governor of Indiana on the Republic tn ticket, will make no change iu th9 mult. "Blue-Jeao- a" Williams will beat him by ten thousand majority, and the State will go by an even lareer majority for Tiiden and Hendricks in November. We think we may now eafely begin to count on Indi- ana for our tiofeer. The press of Mississippi generally re- grets that Colonel J. A. Signiago has severed his connection with the Grenada Sentinel, and regards his withdrawal es a serious loa3 to the editorial corps of the State. The Appeal, of which Colonel Signiago was an atlachee for some time in bis jiurnalistic career, unites with iu Miaalssirpl cotemporarles in expressions of good will so well earned and deserved. The New Orleans Picayune's Wash- ington correspondent is authority for the statement that a prominent Federal oflicer is at the national capital asking t' e President for troops to be eent to North Carolina, where rumor has it, the R 'publicans will repeat the use of the employed in 1872 to carry that State, by an extensive system of arrests under internal revenue laws, i"d the parties arrested to be released on agreeing to act with the Radicals.

One of the young men was instantly Killed, and the lather was fatally injured. Rumored Ministerial Cbnnjrcs. Belgrade, August 14. The rumors of approaching ministerial cb an ires are subsiding. Prince Milan declares tho condition of the Servian forces very sat isfactory, ;aua announces his resolu- tion to continue the war to the last ex- tremity. An p of General Tchernayeff has arrived, and reports tnat a large lorce is now concentrated at Bunja. Distrust Among tbe Servian. London, August 14. A specifl to the News froji Bslgrade, says-- a change in tne tservien admtnistratidn is freely dis cussed. Prince Milan- - has become un- popular, and his conduct is unfavorably contrasted with that of the prince o Montenegro, who win nave, in tn9 con- tingency of Prince Milan's removal, the favor of Ru sia. Tne concealment of the Ssrvian losses caused much distrust. Only a miraculous victory, or the open espousal of Servia's cause by a powerful State, can restore the prospects of Sal- via's independence. The Military Situation In Scrvla Iln- - cnangca. London, August 14. A Belgrade spe cial to the Daily News reports the mill tary situation unchanged. General Hor-vatovlc- hs has been reinforced, and "re- mains at Banja, on the southern rod into the Mora vallev, opposing tbeTuik-ls- h advance from Gargusova'z. Colonel Cocker is intrenched opposite Lockov, on the northern road from San Salz-sch- ar into the Mora valley,and resists tbe arproacn or usman irasna, from Amain. This position of the Servian forces, how ever, is consiaerea aeieciive. me iwo commanders are too far apart to support each other, and the fall of one extremity assures tbe abandonment of the other. Disraeli and the Changes Ills Elevation Compels. Manchester, Ausrubt 14 The Guar- - dian's London 'dispatches says Dis- raeli's acceptance of the privy seat has occasioned almost as n.ucn surprise as his elevation to the peerage. The object Is to secure him a post to fall- - bics upon II it antuia prove that his health is not strong enough for him to lead in the house of lords next session. It h expected that the title of Earl of Ba-cocfiel- d wiil be supplemental of Vii- - ccunt Hunenuor and Baron Disraeli. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, baronet, chief secretary of Ireland, will probable succeed Rlght;Hon. Sir Charles Adderly, of tbe board, in the cabinet if ine latter is raised to tne peerage. .Edinburgh, Auijost 14. Tne scotch- - man says a uus.worthy correspondent informs us that Disraeli's elevation to the peerage is the first etep toward his resignation of the premiership, not now, but before the beginning of the next session. Earl Derby is mentioned as the premier. Turkish Denials of Atrocity. London, August 14 The Ottoman embassy in this city ofllcially denies that tbe imperial troops burned Servian villages or carry pttroleum for that pur- pose as bes been charged. The embassy alleges that sixty villages in Ottoman territory have been burned by the Serv- ians. The Dory Centennial put into Aber-csst'- e, Wi 19?, on Saturday, for provi- sions, and then proceeded on her way to Liverpool. Johnson repcrti tbat the Centennial waa capsize? onco during the voyage, but he succeeded in righting her. Qieen Viotoria held a council at Os- borne House, Isle of Wight, on Satur- day, and delivered the eeal of the ofllce of lord privy to Disraeli, who took the oath and kissod her hand on ap- pointment. The Standard's Salzschar telegram says that instead of pushing vigorously afcer the evacuation of Sazscnar, Os-m- Pasha crossed the Tioiok river in- to Servia and encamped in the former position of the Servians. Tbe country is entirely deserted by the inhabitants. The Circassians advancing find only de- serted houses. The Standard's dispatch from Bel- grade says that there was no demonstra- tion on tbe occasion of Prince Milan's return. A dispatch from Vienna says tt at Prince Milan had a conference with the Austrian and English consuls at Belgrade, and expressed a willingness to abandon the war if England and Austria support him in his negotiations of peace. Wagner's Triumph. Bayreuth, August 14.--Fo- ur thousand Btrangera arrived in this city to attend Wagner's musical festival. There are about sixty correspondents of German, American, and otner newspapers pres- ent. A grand torchlight procession In Honor of tbe event occurred last evening. London, August 14 A special to the News from Bayreuth, reports that tho performance of Rheingold'a prologue to tho Ming of the Nibelungen, began at seven o'clock Sunday evening. Every teat in the auditorium was occupied. The audience was one of the most bril- liant and distinguished ever assembled in Germany. In tha gallery of the princes were Emperor William and Em- peror Dom Pedro, grand dukes of Meck- lenburg, Sixe-Weime- r, Aubrall and Baden, and many other members of the nobility. Among the famous composers prceent were Liszt and Gounod. About fifty Americans were among the audi- ence.- The auditorium remained in darkness throughout the performance, all the light being concentrated on tbe stage. Applsuee was pormi.ted only at the conclusion of acts. The scenic ef- fects were of great beauty, the perform-ance.admirarle,a- nd the orchestra nearly perfection. Tae arrangement by which the latter was concealed from view was a eucces?. and trreatiy heightened the ef fect. Wagner declined to appear before tbe curtain at tne conclusion oi tne per formance. Bayreuth, August 14 The per- formance of the Walkneren began at four o'clock and ended at hair past nice, with intervals of an hour between acts. This representationmado a greater impression even tnantnatoi itneingoio. Tae lirst act especially produced a pro fiund sensation, and at tne cioce of the opera the ojnic effect, when the entire background was covered with a sea of ice, was wonderful. The enthusiastic audience oould not be restrained and the perform- ance was repeatedly interrupted by bursts of applause. At the end of tbe acts the leading performers were loudly called for, but declined to respond before tbe curtain, the composer and artists considering tbat cucn an appearance would violate tne unity or. tne represen- tation. Emperor William was present and remained until the close of tire opera. On entering and leaving his box he was greeted with cheers. After the tne opera tne emperor went to Babelsburgj THE INDIANS.

The Journal of will publish an account of Custer's battle, as reported by Agent Miles to Superintendent Nich olson, it is strictly an Indian veision ot the story, aud agrees in the important particulars with that of the military.

Helena, Montana, August 13. The Independent's Boseman (Montana) special or Augast izcn says mat a sicux squaw came into the Crow camp and re- ported a battle; that Crook has almost annihilated tbe Sioux, and had the re- mainder in such a position as to force their surrender. Parties from the Crow agency bring this news. It may be greatly exaggerated, if not entirely false. The Stiry of Crook's Victory Donbtcd Washington, August 14 On in- quiry at army headquarters to-da- it is ascertained that nothing whatever has been received confirmatory of the report of the Sioux equaw tbat a tcnible battle had taken place between General Crook and the Sioux Indians, acd tbat the latter had been almost annihilated. While hopes are expressed that the re- port may prove true, tho story Is con- sidered doubtful. Doubts in HI Kb. Places. "Fort Laramie, Wy., Auguat 14. The report of General Terry's fight with Sitting Bull is confirmed through In- dians coming into the Spotted Tail agency. They report a heavy engage- ment and the defeat of tbe Indians with great loss and Sitting Bull wounded. townsend. It is proper to say that tbe accurracy of tbe information contained in this as it does from a question- able source, is discredited. Confirmation or Sitting1 Bull's Defeat. Omaha, August 14 The cflicial tele- gram from Fort Laramie to-da- y Bays the report of General Terry's fight with Sit- ting Bull is'confirmed through Indians coming into Spotted Tail agency. They report a heavy engagement and the de- feat of the Indians with great loss, and Bitting bull wounded. Heavy fires are seen from Fort Laramie to the eastward, and it is feared the Indians have at- tacked the hay ranches in Mitchell's bottom and burned the supply of hay. Terry's Expedition to Join Crook. St. Paul, Augmt 14 The Pioneer Press's special from tbe Sioux expedi- tion eays the preparations are complete, and we march at daybreak the route being up the Rosebud, acd the objective points the Indians wherever and whenever they may be found. Primarily we expect to effect a junction with General Crook, but no deviation from tbe main object will be made for that purpose. Sickness is showing itself among the men with a tendency to scurvy, and tbat which is to be done must be done eoon. The weather is hot beyond precedent; the mercury Indi- cates to-da- y from 109 to 115 in the shade, according to locality. Much ap- prehension is felt as to tho effect of msrehing in such heat. General Ter- ry's force, exclusive of the depot guard, consists of nine hundred and nineteen Infantry, five hundred and seventy-fou- r cavalry, forty artillery and seventy-fou- r Crow and Rse Indians. The organiza- tion of the command is shown by the following .extract from general oidera, No. 7: "The troops in tbe field will be organ- ized for the coming movement as fol- lows: The battalions of the Fifth, Sixth, Ssventh and Twenty-secon- d infantry will constituto a brigade, under tbe com-man- d of Colonel Gibbon, cf the Sev- enth infantry. The battalion of the Sec- ond cavalry, the Seventh cavalry, the battery of artillery, and the Indian scouta, will report directly to the depart- ment commander." One of the most formidable difficulties to be anticipated on this march is want of water and gras3. There has been no rain for many weeks, and the Rosebud contains Lut very little water at its mouth, and it is to be feared that the grass which has fcurvive 1 the drouth has been .burned by the Indians,as the coun- try hereabouts has been covered with smoke since the battle of tbe Big Horn. MURDER I5T ARKANSAS. Bloody Settlement of an Old Fend Be- tween Biotbers-ln-La- On Friday last a man named Trott killed his brother-in-la- John Smeaden, while tbe latter was riding in a wagon on the road between Clarendon and Brinkley, Aikansas. Captain Walker and a number of other citizens went in pursuit of the murderer. The pursuing party was at Captain Jolly's plantation ou Saturday, and were on the trail of the fugitive. Trott is a tall, slender mar, with blue eyee, light hair, muatacho and chin wbiskeis. He weighs about one hundred and forty pounds. The causo o' the murder waa an old feud be- tween the brothers-in-law- , and some time since it came near being settled by a duel, all arrangements for such having been made, but tbat was prevented by friends of both parties, who reside at Clarendon. Trott was dissatisfied with the settlement or termination of the dif- ficulty, and took the first opportunity to settle the matter as above described, by killing his brother-in-la- The East River Bridge.

WASHINGTON. Grant's Impudent Message to the House Randall's Clear and Cogent Siijn mlnff Up of the Democratic , Economies. . The Hawaiian Treaty Tasscd How the News was Received In San Francisco A Field Day in the House ; Bitter Speeches. The President at the Capitol Mor(on will not Repeat his Indianapolis Ha ranguo Henry IVattcrson Sworn In MattUews's Explanation Adjoutnment. f The members erjoyed a regular field day in the house yesterday. First Mr. Singleton proceeded to address the house on the condition of public affairs in Mis- sissippi. He gave an emphatic denial to the statements made in the house and senate that there had been frauds com- mitted in the recent elections in that State, and said that no iuah thing had been charged on the part of the govern- ment of Mississippi, or of trie election judges. After this Randall made his speech (published elsewhere) show- ing the reductions in expenditures made by the Democratic majority in tho house. This was like treading on the tail of the glossy Radical coat, and the result was an outpouring of the vials of Republican wrath frightful to read, but being a rehash of til that has been said on that side since the war, the Appeal cannot make room for it. The next cause of excitement was the presentatlon-o- f Grant's cheeky message, given else- where. On its being read, Mr. R?agan, of Texas, moved its reference to the committee on commerje, and made a speech, iu which he justly and B- everly took Grant to task. Messrs. Conger and Kasson defended the message, which notwithstanding was referred-Aft- er the evening recess Mr. Kasson obtained tbe floor and made a violent and insane attack upon the Democratic party and Mr. Tiiden, of whom he re peated many falsehoods put in circaiation by Sena'or Morton. Oa conclusion, Banning's .bill to in- crease the cavalry force was carried by a voto of one hundred and twenty-on- e to forty-on- e. Mr. Cox, of New York, then took the fljor and answered Kasson, whom he charged with lying deliberately. A scene en sued. The words were taken down, and a motion made to bring tbe exoited New Yorker to the bar of the house, but after a vain contest, up to two o'clock this morning, the motion did not prevail, nnd one by Randall to allow Cox to pro- ceed was equally unfortunate. In the senate, Senator Spencer sub mitted a concurrent resolution, pro- viding for tho appointment of a joint committee, to consist of three senators and three members of the bonse, to pre- pare a suitable form of government for the District of Columbia, and report at the next satsion of congress. Senator Edmunds moved to take up the proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting the appropriation of money for tbe sup- port of sectarian schools, which, after a long debate, at one o'clock was defeat ed for want of a two thirds majority. Tne Hawaiian treaty was then taken up and passed. Spsncer, of Alabama, then offer d a resolution for an appoint ment cf what M 'ron called a smelling committee, to Investigate the recent overwhelming Democratic majority in A'abama, but objection was made. Lo- gin's bll permitting tbe President to e oo ploy volunteers was then taken up and passed. Matthews Slakes a Correction. Washington, August 14. An error having occurred, last week, in tbe re- ported testimony of Supervisor Matthews, before the committee inves- tor itirg the whisky frauds, it is proper to give tho following correction of his teetimony : Mattnews, relernng to Col lector Webster's letter to him on the subject of giving immunity to certain parties implicated in the frauds, on the condition that they would plead guilty, tesuneu mat 03re:ary unsiow tnougnt the price was too high, and was there- fore in favor of rejecting the proposition, thinking that more favorable terms miKht be. obtained (or tbe government. but tint tbe President, who had read tbe letter, was represented through Brle-to- w as saying that hardly any price was too high to pay t r evidence to convict tne parties engaged in fcuon frauds. E535illcnry Watterson Sworn In. An interesting event occurred in the house to-da- y, when Henry Watterson, of Louisville, was sworn in. Mr. Wat- terson was warmly congratulated by many members. The Adjournment. There is every probability tbat this session of congress will be brought to a close by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. There is some talk among a few prom inent senators of endeavoring to amend tne nouse resolution so as to provide ror a final adjournment at twelve o'clock but it la not probable that a majority will consent to fix an earlier d.ta than or possibly on Wednesday. Morion ivlll Not llepcat.Hls Bad Speech Senator Morton has returned fro n In- diana, and is in bis seat to-da- y. He says he has no intention of making another spaech in the senate this session, and re ports tnatne proposed repeating nere tne speech recently delivered by him in In-- . diana has Had no roundation. The President nnd Bills Passed. President Grant came to the capilol to-da- y, accomparied by the attorney general, secretary of the treasury, secre- tary of the intericj, and his private sec-r- e ary. They will remain in the Presi- dent's room during the day for the ex- amination, approval or dismissal of bills. The houee committee on postcfBces and postrcads took no action to day on the pest route bill, which was referred to that committee Saturday. The bill was amended in the ssnate by adding the faat-ma- il and franking privilege to it, and it is understood the house will non- concur in the amendments. This is in- dicated by the action of the house in re- ferring the bill to this committee, which will not be called again this session to report, and a single objection will pre- vent them from reporting outside of tbe regular bill. President's Message. The President to-da- y sent the follow- ing message, addressed to the house of representatives: Executive Mansion. 1 Washington, Aug cm u, 1S7G. j In affixing my signature to the river and harbor appropria'lon bill (No. 3022), I deem it my duty to announce to the house of representatives my objection to some features of tbe bill, and tne reason why I sign It. If it was obligatory upon the executive to expend all moneys ap- propriated by congress, I should return the river and harbor bill with my objec tions, notwithstanding the sreat inr.on venience to public interests resulting luereircm auu ine loss or expenditures irum previous congresses upon incom- pleted works. Without enumerating. many apjr prlations era mado for woik or a purely a private or local interest, and in no sense national. I cannot give my sanction to these, and I will take care that during my term of office no public money shall be expended on them. There is a very great necessity for economy of expenditures at this time, growing out of the loss of revenue likely to arise from a deficiency of ap- propriations to insure a thoh u h collec- tion ot the same. Tho reduction of the revenue districts, the dimuoition of spe cial agent?, and the total abolition of mi. pervisora may result in a great falling off oi me revenues, ic may oe a question to consider whether any expenditure can be well authorized under the river and harbor appropriation bill further than to protect tbe work already done and paid for. Under no circumstances will I bIIow expenditures not clearly national. u. s. GRANT. -- The Democratic Stewardship. In the house, yesterday, Mr. Randall Penn J gave an extended account of the reductlon'pollcy of the house, charg- ing the senate with having defeated still greater economy contemplated by the nonse. He defended the various appro- priation bills as sufficient, and arraigned the Republican paity as obstructive to econemy and given to extravagance. He dwelt at length on the various re- forms proposed by the Democratic house foi checking extravagant expendituies, and securing economy and efficiency in the public service,and showed how many hundreds of employes were in tbe de- partment who were not needed. He defended the pesition of the house on the i eduction of the President' salary from fifty thousand dollars to twenty-fiv- e thousand doll at s, and expressed bis sincere conviction that the people wculd eee the matter in is true light as to the proposed reduction of the compensation of senators, and tbe members of the senate ha 1 urged against the abolition of the franking privilege, but tbe senate had since passed a bl'l to restore the frauklng privilege, an action which certainly would not escape criticism. Another valuable result which had been accomplished had been tho enactment of a provision against tbe political as sessment ot government employes. He gave the following recapitulation of the appropriation bills: The estimates of the departments for the year were S203 099.- - 025; bills as reported by the committee on appropriations, $137,233,135; bills as dassed by the house, $133,752,340; bi la as passed by the ssnate, $158, 260,598; bills as enacted in law. $147,747,002, as against the appropria tions ior lass year oi $177,003 37, being a reduction of 29,913,253. Mr. Springer suggested that tbe sav- ing was at the rate of $102,000,000 for each congressional district. Mr. Rmdali, in conclusion, said that early in the session ho had. stated it as his belief tbat tbe expenditures would be reduced between thirty and forty million dollars. This statement of his had then baen regarded asexeggeration. but events demonstrated its correctness. He regretted to say that in the struggle with the senate the house had been compelled to reduce to the extent of ten and a half million dollars. He hoped, and believed, that In another year the senate would concur with the house,and he asserted, with the President acting in harmony with the purpose of the house, a further reduction could be made of ten millions. These facta and figures spoke themselves, and needed no elaboration. One result which they de- monstrated, the majority tested its claim of having earnestly and faithful ly discharged its duty to the people. It nai not reuueeu tne expenditures as much as it had expected, but tho failure wuuutiu ruit. that the real natural and permanent way to a resumption of specio payment was in the reduction of government ex- penditures. Human foresight could not fix the day when it should take place. If twenty or thirty millions a year was saved, not only would the means for speedy resumption be provided, but con- fidence would be established, which must inevitably precede the desired re sult. As Mr. Randall closed his speech he was warmly applauded on his own side of the house. Gold Bonds to be Sold. The secretary of the treasury has d! rected tbe assistant treasurer of the United States at New York to sell on Wednesday the gold received in pay ment ror bones or the uvo per cent, funded loan of 1881 sold on the twelfth instant. EX-G- O ViCllAOJt 13 ARRIS. What his Enemy has to Say Abont him lie Admits his Ability. The Knoxville Chronicle, edited by Ex-Senat- Brownlow, in its issue of the 11th, contained the following edito- rially : "Isbam G. Harris is one of the ablcs men in the Democratic party in the south. There is no doubt of this. But, at tbe same time, he is one of the most unpopular men, in East Tennessee at least. Tne leascn or tms is oovious. ne wa3 governor of tbe State at the begin- ning of the late war. and was one of the moat arbitrary and tyrannical men who ever occupied the position 01 a ruler. Ho was as ambitious as Csemr. He could not stand opposition. He made up bis mind that Tennesse should go in to tne secession movement, ana ne la- bored incessantly to that end. He de- termined that his plaDS should prevail whether they were bicked by public sentiment or not. By the circumstances with whicn lie was surrounded at mat time, he knew that he could force Ten nessee into tho rebellion, and he never hesitated a moment about doing it. He had no more respect for tho wishes and views of the Union men of East Tennessaee than be had for tbe then negro slave?. He determined tbat they should yield to ins will and obey hl3 wishes, peaceably if they could, but if not, then at tbe point of a word or of the bayonet. With such a record it is not strange that he should be unpopular here. His name Is inseparably connected with the dark days of the civil war, and while men are perfectly willing to let be it is impossible to so far forget Uovernor .Harris as to accept nim and trust him as a leader. His selection as one of the electors from the State at large means that he is a prominent can didate ror tbe united states senate. Tola indorsement will go a long way toward electing mm, should a Democratic legis- lature bochosen. When we see the peo ple of Tennessee indorse Isbam G. Har ris as a leader we will believe it, but not before. The Oriental Consistory of the Thirty- - second Decree. New York, August 14. The Oriental consistory of the thirty-secon- d degree, ancient ana accepted rite, rrom unicago, arrived here to-da- en route tor Phila- delphia. They number ninety-fiv- e per- sons in all, and were met at the depot by a committee from tne Jew Jersey consistory, uader D. B.

They Take Possession of Freight-Train- s and Lock Thein on ide-Trac- Re- fusing to Let them Go East or lVcst. Application Made to Governor Hendricks for Troops -- Withont Them Officers Cannot Cope with Rioters. Cincinnati, August 13. Contrary to general expectation tbe striae of the brakemen on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad did not end with the yielding of the men at Seymour. At North Vernon, Mitchell and Vincennes the strikers refused to be governed by the Seymour parties, and ara still out. A car containing the officers of the road left here this morning, and found mat- ters comparatively quiet at North Ver- non and Mitchell, and reported their be- lief tbat matters at these points could be controlled in a(short time. When the car reached Vincennes it was run on a side-trac- k by ttia striker and the switch spiked to prevent its removal. In addi- tion to the railroad officials, the car con- tained a detatchment of St. Louis police, who were driven across tbe Wabash river into Illinois by the strikers. Tbe latter have been reinforced by some of the machinists f.om the shope, and ap- - fiear to have possession of the town. The authorities have sent a strong ap-p- e 1 to Governor Hendricks, who up to the present time has taken no action in tho premises. Tbe situation ht is considered very grave, but the railroad authorities hope for S.tate aid to morrow in preserving peace, when the strikers will bo paid oil' and discharged. LATER. Cincinnati, August 14. The situa- tion along the Oaio and Mississippi rail- road Is practically unchanged. All is quiet at Seymour. At North Vernon, several of the strikers are holding freight-train- s on both the main line and Louis- ville branch. At Mitchell all is quiet, and it is reported that no strikers are there. At Vincennes the situation re- mains unchanged from last night. No freigbi-trai- ns have been allowed to move east or W63t, thestrikors having full pos- session of the track. The sheriff has made two appeals to Governor Hen- dricks for a fcrce necessary to restore order, saying that he was unable, with- out material aid, to keep the peace. Governor Hendricks is expected at In- dianapolis when, it is believed, eome decisive measures will ba inaug- urated. General business at Vincennes is reported as seriously affected ty the detention of freight, and the citizens are anxious for some prompt measures to put an end to the dead-loc- k. The leaders in the strike at tbat point are represented as belonging to the roughest class of raiinau employes, who have forced others into the move- ment against their inclinations. The employes at Flora, Illinois, on the western division, struck this morning. The railroad authorities at once applied to Governor Bavt ridge to preserve the peace. He at once telegraphed to the sheriff of that county to arrest any and ail persons that were engaged in stop- ping trains, and if the sheriff was una- ble to do so the governor would eend guard of one hundred men to assist him, and a company of State troops was placed in readiness, awaiting further ad- vices. The St. Louis special police who had been escorted across Wabash river at Vincennes last night, were taken j X....M ...umrmci niiuiu, 10 .Flora to-da- y and sworn In by the sheriff at the latter place, and have arrested several or tne ring-leader- t, who will be taken to Clay county jail at once. It is believed that this prompt action will prevent further trouble in tbat locality. Superintendent Waldron issued notice to-da- y to all the employes and others interested,as follows: "As there isaseem-in- g misunderstanding of the position assumedby the company in its dealings witn tne stniiere. 1 desire to say for the benefit of all interested, that the propo sition advanced is simply that the men shall at once resume work at the reduced rates; tbat the June rolls will be paid as eoon as the pay-ca- r can get over the line, and that tho July rolls will be paid as Boon after falling due, which is cn an average for the line, tho twentieth of the following month, as Is consistent with the revenues, which are now stopped. This proposition the ni9n decline, de- manding all their over-du- e wages and no reduction." The strikers held a meeting atVincennes this afternoon aud the committee wbioh had been appointed to wait on Superin- tendent Waldron with their proposition made their report. Tne proposition was in effect that the men be paid in full the two months wages now due and be re- tained in the employment of the com- pany regardless' of the strike. The reply was that the company was unable to meet tne nret part or tneir demand, but was willing to pay the June wages in cash and give checks for the balance payable in September. This wss not deemed satisfactory and the men de- clined. The meeting is reported aa or- derly, and was attended by nearly two Hundred persons. Moderation and firm- ness was the prevailing sentiment of the speakers. CUBA. Insurgent Snccesscs A Fort with lis Defenders Burned to the Gronnd. Havana, via Key West, August 14 On the first sixty Insurgents belonging to tho regiment or Inglesito. attacked Fort Jaques. in the jurisdiction of Cien- - ruegos, and demanded its surrender. The men inside of the fort, numbering four- teen, refused the demand, and began filing, when the insurgents set fire to tbe fort, which was destroyed and the besieged all burned to death. On the s?cond one hundred and six men and six officers of the Spanish troops, commanded by Fernandez, in the jurisdiction of Villaclura, were at- tacked by superior insurgent forces aud Fernandez and twenty-thre- e men killed.

Lynchburg, Va , August 14. This morning a water-spu- t struck the line of the Virginia and Midland railroad. six miles north of this place. Tne flood extended for five miles, swelling the smallect creeks into rivers, and sub merging a portion 01 tne country never uuder water before. A culvert was car- ried away, leaving a gap ninety feet broad and fifty de3p, into which a freight train was precipitated, killing the en- gineer and brakeman. Tne storm lasted only a few minutes. Suicide Fenrtd. OilAHA, August 14. The daughter of Hon.

A Private Feud lies tilt in the Killing of One Man and the Wounding; or Sine. Alamo Very Much Excited and Shocked by n Deed that Shames any Similar Aflalr in Its History. Special to the Appeal. Bells Depot, Tenn, August 14. To- day our county town, Alamo, was made the scene of ona of the most terrible conflicts growing out of private feuds that has occurred since the war, result- ing in the instant death of one man and tbe seriouj, if not mortal wonnding of nine others. It Reems tbat a Mr. Hania,a deputy-sherif- f under hia father, Roll Harris, had been as sardted a few days since by some of his father's polit- ical opponents in the recent election which resulted in his father's and tbat the parties were at Alamo for trial, having been removed to that point on account of the high excitement pre- vailing in the district where the dim culty occurred, and that the case was again continued and removed to this point for like reasons, and bonds were written, ready to sign, the entries made, when a pistol shot was fired from the justice's office at the son of Sheriff Harris, wounding him In the hip. The firing then commenced in earnes', with the result above stated. Mr. Mac Wells was killed and two of Sheriff Harris's sons were wcunded, also Robert Smitb, Ab Trimble, William Overton, a Mr. Ray, Robert Austin and two others were very slightly wounded. KEISRVIXLE. One of the Host Thriving of all the Towns on tbe Padncah Railroad The Country and the Crops. A correspondent writes us, under date of the twelfth instant, as follows of a thriving town and thriving country only twenty miles from Memphis: The town of Kerrville is in the north- western portion of Shelby county, sec- ond civil district, and on the line of tbe Paducah and Memphis railroad, distant from Memphis twenty miles, and from the Mississippi river twelve miles Ran- dolph beirg about the nearest point. It is less than four years since the first house was built heie. It is of this vil- lage, the neighborhood surrounding it, and the inhabitants thereof that I wish to write. This is the house of A. H. Kerr, D D., who is widely known and much esteemed, both at home and abroad, for bis liberal views and benev- olent acts. Dr. Kerr is extensively en- gaged in merchandizing and planting, being the owner of several thousand acres of rich land adjoining the town. Be- sides Dr. Cart's score, there are four others, all keeping a general variety of merchandise, such as the requirements of the country demand. And I think the merchants here enjoy the benefit, as well as the lepntation, of selling goods at reasonable prices. Their combined sales will not fall short of one hundred thousand dollars annually. There are two steam-mil- ls in this place, one of them grinds corn and has a cotton-gi- n attached, the other grinds both com and wheat and has a cottox-i- n attached nleo. The wheat-mi- ll is busily engaged grind- ing the present year's exona. Wa. - . UMbeutut euops, one of them hav- ing wood-w- ot ks connected with it, which tnrns ont as good wagons, bug- gies, farming implement?, eta, as are made anywhere in the country. The population of the village is not as large as the business done here would indi- cate, for the reason that several persons doing business here etill reside some dis- tance away. It is with regret I must say there is neither church nor school-hous- e immediately in the place; how- ever, there are several of both near by. Tbe reason that one or more churches have not been bnilt here before this, is that the people are reluctant to abandon their old places of worship, and sub- scribe to building new and more expen- sive ones these hard times. I had al- most forgotten to mention the railroad depot, a substantial brick, and probably the handsomest one on tne line. The country surrounding as Is well set- tled, or what is called well settled for West Tennessee that ia to say, about one-ha- lf the face of the country is in cultivation; whereas, all the lands are well adapted to cultivation, scarcely a spot or an acre excepted. It is encour- aging to behold the wide fields almost groaning beneath their abundant and luxuriant crops of corn and cotton at this date. This is called the Big Creek country, which is widely known for its wealth of soil and general productive- ness. It Is a high and naturally well-drain- ed country, being many hundred feet above the encroachments of the backwater from the Mississippi river or any cf its tributaries. The health of this neighborhood is as good as any part of West Tennessee, but we are not ex- empt from bilious complaints which pre- vail throughout this latitude, especially where the soil is rich and the forests dense; yet, with a better system of drainage than wa now have, and say two-thir- ds of the forests cleared away, it would be reasonable to expect as good health here as they enjoy in any part of Kentucky or Virginia. And there may be millions of dollars made out of this timber, for notwithstanding tho great amount which has been taken off since the railroad passed through, there still remain large bodies of un- broken timbered lands. The timber is of the best quality oak, poplar, hickory and ash being the principal growth. I would especially call the attention of all within our herders who contemplate emigrating to distant parts of tbe coun- try. They will certainly commit an er- ror by leaving or overlooking a country like this. It is new enough, for your children will not live to see its re- sources fully developed, no matter how rapid its improvement may be. If you want to farm, here Is improved and wild lands at reasonable prices. If you aro a fancier of stock and its cul- ture, examine this section before lo- cating. If yon are inclined to deal or work in timber, here it i?. And if per- chance yon are a merchant ormanu-factuie- r, come here, for the country is already settled with a class of citizens who will welcome and encourage all men of enterprise and industry who wish to abide with us. The inhabitants here are disposed to offer that same gen-eio- us hospitality which characterized the south before the cruel war made us so selfish. Even the colored citizens with U3 (and we have a great many) are noted for their polite behavior and in- dustrious habits. Beside our bibles and agricultural papers, we all read the Mem- phis Appeal, and are solid for Tiiden and Hendricks DIED.

the Ohio valley, falling fol'owed by rising barometer, partly cloudy weather,occasional rains, slight change in tem-peratures, and southeast to southwestwinds, shifting in the latt two sections tonortherly.

We will, on the firet of September,Issue our usual anLUsI review of the cotton trade of the city, together with aretumc of the general market for theyear. The edition of the Appeal ofthat date will be unmuaily large, offering facilities for advertisers auch as inother years they have not hesitated toavail themselves of. In order to facilitate us in our efforts to cater for the publie acceptably, and creditably to our-

selves, we remind our friends thm earlyand solicit, a continuance of the gener-

ous support which for thirty-si- x yeanthe people of Memphis have extendedto the Appeal. Orders for papers andadvertisements will be received up otthe last day of this month at our counting--

room. .

President Grant has not, but hemay afcer trie adjournment of congress,answer Biuford Wilson.

Dr. Geoege B. Loeiko Is a congres-

sional aspirant in Massachusetls.aud Mr.Taibox hopes to bs renominated and

General Alexander W. Cam-pbell refos;s, in a card in the JacksonIVhig and Tribune, to be a candidate forthe State e from Msdlson county.

Mr. William A. Moore, of Michi-gan, is of opinion that the Democrats otthat State will cerry five of the ninecongressional d stricts, and tbatTildenand Ilaudricks will carry the State.

The speech of Governor Hendricks,published on cur eecond page, will befound good reading. It ia conciliatoryand conservative, b?Ing in these respecisa remarkable contrast to the diatribe ofSenator Morton.

Here U a hint for Memphis: The newcotton fictory at Atlanta will be one ofthe large: t in the wo: Id. It will con-

tain twenty-on- e thousand five hundredspindles and five hundred looms, andwhen in full operation wll give employ-ment to over live hundred operators.

The reports of the No-fol- Savan-nah and Charleston cotton exchangesare a'l favorable. Cotton is looking welland doing well in a majority of in-

stances in North Carolina, Virginia,Georgia, Fiordi, Alabama, Mississippiand S ;uth Carolina.

The "regulars" of the Republicanparty have purchased the Little BeckEvening Star, and it made its appear-ance yesterday evening a full fledgedItepubiicsn organ, supporting JosephBrooks for governor. Judge JohnM'Clure, better k sown as "t'eker Jack,"is the editor.

General Sherman denies in toto thereport tbat he would retire from thearmy after the fourth of March, in thoevent of the election of Hayes and"Wheeler, in order to admit of the ap-

pointment of General Grant as his suc-

cessor. He says there is not a word oftruth in it, and no ground? for it.

A call has been made in the JacksonWhig and Tribune, upon Judge MiltonBrown, to accept the nomination of theDemocratic party in Madhon county forrepnssntaiive in the next legislature.The call saya: "With Blair in the sen-

ate, and Judge Brown, the tried and true,in the lower house, old Msdlson wouldbe well repw sentad."

There can be no doubt about NewJersey. She has cast her vote for aDemocratic candidate for the Presiden-cy since 1853, oxcept in 1861, when shegave Lincoln four and Douglas threevotes, and in 1873, when she preferredGrant to Greeley. In 1851 her Demo-

cratic majority was two thousand; in186-5- , three thousand; in 1859, two thou-

sand.

Mr. William H. Henderson, aprominent citizen rf IntiianRpolis, Eays

Williams will beat him by ten thousandmajority, and the State will go by aneven lareer majority for Tiiden andHendricks in November. We think wemay now eafely begin to count on Indi-

ana for our tiofeer.

The press of Mississippi generally re-

grets that Colonel J. A. Signiago hassevered his connection with the GrenadaSentinel, and regards his withdrawal esa serious loa3 to the editorial corps of theState. The Appeal, of which ColonelSigniago was an atlachee for some timein bis jiurnalistic career, uniteswith iu Miaalssirpl cotemporarles inexpressions of good will so well earnedand deserved.

The New Orleans Picayune's Wash-ington correspondent is authority for thestatement that a prominent Federaloflicer is at the national capital askingt' e President for troops to be eent toNorth Carolina, where rumor has it, theR 'publicans will repeat the use of the

employed in 1872 to carrythat State, by an extensive systemof arrests under internal revenue laws,i"d the parties arrested to be releasedon agreeing to act with the Radicals.

Press's special from tbe Sioux expedi-tion eays the preparations are complete,and we march at daybreakthe route being up the Rosebud, acd theobjective points the Indians whereverand whenever they may be found.Primarily we expect to effect a junctionwith General Crook, but no deviationfrom tbe main object will be made forthat purpose. Sickness is showing itselfamong the men with a tendency toscurvy, and tbat which is to be donemust be done eoon. The weather is hotbeyond precedent; the mercury Indi-cates to-da- y from 109 to 115 in theshade, according to locality. Much ap-prehension is felt as to tho effect ofmsrehing in such heat. General Ter-ry's force, exclusive of the depot guard,consists of nine hundred and nineteenInfantry, five hundred and seventy-fou- rcavalry, forty artillery and seventy-fou- r

Crow and Rse Indians. The organiza-tion of the command is shown by thefollowing .extract from general oidera,No. 7:

"The troops in tbe field will be organ-ized for the coming movement as fol-

lows: The battalions of the Fifth, Sixth,Ssventh and Twenty-secon- d infantrywill constituto a brigade, under tbe com-man- d

of Colonel Gibbon, cf the Sev-enth infantry. The battalion of the Sec-ond cavalry, the Seventh cavalry, thebattery of artillery, and the Indianscouta, will report directly to the depart-ment commander."

One of the most formidable difficultiesto be anticipated on this march is wantof water and gras3. There has been norain for many weeks, and the Rosebudcontains Lut very little water at itsmouth, and it is to be feared that thegrass which has fcurvive 1 the drouth hasbeen .burned by the Indians,as the coun-try hereabouts has been covered withsmoke since the battle of tbe Big Horn.

The members erjoyed a regular fieldday in the house yesterday. First Mr.Singleton proceeded to address the houseon the condition of public affairs in Mis-

sissippi. He gave an emphatic denialto the statements made in the house andsenate that there had been frauds com-mitted in the recent elections in thatState, and said that no iuah thing hadbeen charged on the part of the govern-ment of Mississippi, or of trie electionjudges. After this Randall made hisspeech (published elsewhere) show-ing the reductions in expendituresmade by the Democratic majority in thohouse. This was like treading on thetail of the glossy Radical coat, and theresult was an outpouring of the vials ofRepublican wrath frightful to read, butbeing a rehash of til that has been saidon that side since the war, the Appealcannot make room for it. The nextcause of excitement was the presentatlon-o- f

Grant's cheeky message, given else-

where. On its being read, Mr. R?agan,of Texas, moved its reference tothe committee on commerje, and madea speech, iu which he justly and B-everly took Grant to task. Messrs. Congerand Kasson defended the message,which notwithstanding was referred-Aft- er

the evening recess Mr. Kassonobtained tbe floor and made a violentand insane attack upon the Democraticparty and Mr. Tiiden, of whom he repeated many falsehoods put incircaiation by Sena'or Morton.Oa conclusion, Banning's .bill to in-

crease the cavalry force was carried bya voto of one hundred and twenty-on- e

to forty-on- e. Mr. Cox, of New York,then took the fljor andanswered Kasson, whom he chargedwith lying deliberately. A scene ensued. The words were taken down, anda motion made to bring tbe exoited NewYorker to the bar of the house, but aftera vain contest, up to two o'clock thismorning, the motion did not prevail,nnd one by Randall to allow Cox to pro-

ceed was equally unfortunate.In the senate, Senator Spencer sub

mitted a concurrent resolution, pro-

viding for tho appointment of a jointcommittee, to consist of three senatorsand three members of the bonse, to pre-

pare a suitable form of government forthe District of Columbia, and report atthe next satsion of congress. SenatorEdmunds moved to take up the proposedconstitutional amendment prohibitingthe appropriation of money for tbe sup-

ary. They will remain in the Presi-dent's room during the day for the ex-amination, approval or dismissal of bills.

The houee committee on postcfBcesand postrcads took no action to day onthe pest route bill, which was referred tothat committee Saturday. The bill wasamended in the ssnate by adding thefaat-ma- il and franking privilege to it,and it is understood the house will non-concur in the amendments. This is in-dicated by the action of the house in re-

ferring the bill to this committee, whichwill not be called again this session toreport, and a single objection will pre-vent them from reporting outside of tberegular bill.

President's Message.The President to-da- y sent the follow-

ing message, addressed to the house ofrepresentatives:

Executive Mansion. 1

Washington, Aug cm u, 1S7G. jIn affixing my signature to the river

and harbor appropria'lon bill (No. 3022),I deem it my duty to announce to thehouse of representatives my objection tosome features of tbe bill, and tne reasonwhy I sign It. If it was obligatory uponthe executive to expend all moneys ap-propriated by congress, I should returnthe river and harbor bill with my objec

tions, notwithstanding the sreat inr.onvenience to public interests resultingluereircm auu ine loss or expendituresirum previous congresses upon incom-pleted works. Without enumerating.many apjr prlations era mado for woikor a purely a private or local interest,and in no sense national. I cannot givemy sanction to these, and I will takecare that during my term of office nopublic money shall be expended onthem. There is a very great necessityfor economy of expenditures at thistime, growing out of the loss of revenuelikely to arise from a deficiency of ap-propriations to insure a thoh u h collec-tion ot the same. Tho reduction of therevenue districts, the dimuoition of special agent?, and the total abolition of mi.pervisora may result in a great falling offoi me revenues, ic may oe a questionto consider whether any expenditure canbe well authorized under the river andharbor appropriation bill further than toprotect tbe work already done and paidfor. Under no circumstances will I bIIowexpenditures not clearly national.

u. s. GRANT.-- The Democratic Stewardship.

In the house, yesterday, Mr. RandallPenn J gave an extended account of

the reductlon'pollcy of the house, charg-ing the senate with having defeated stillgreater economy contemplated by thenonse. He defended the various appro-priation bills as sufficient, and arraignedthe Republican paity as obstructive toeconemy and given to extravagance.He dwelt at length on the various re-forms proposed by the Democratic housefoi checking extravagant expendituies,and securing economy and efficiency inthe public service,and showed how manyhundreds of employes were in tbe de-partment who were not needed. Hedefended the pesition of the house onthe i eduction of the President' salaryfrom fifty thousand dollars to twenty-fiv- e

thousand doll at s, and expressed bissincere conviction that the people wculdeee the matter in i s true light as to theproposed reduction of the compensationof senators, and tbe members of thesenate ha 1 urged against the abolitionof the franking privilege, but tbe senatehad since passed a bl'l to restorethe frauklng privilege, an action whichcertainly would not escape criticism.Another valuable result which had beenaccomplished had been tho enactmentof a provision against tbe political assessment ot government employes. Hegave the following recapitulation of theappropriation bills: The estimates of thedepartments for the year were S203 099.- -025; bills as reported by the committeeon appropriations, $137,233,135; bills asdassed by the house, $133,752,340;bi la as passed by the ssnate, $158,260,598; bills as enacted in law.$147,747,002, as against the appropriations ior lass year oi $177,003 37, beinga reduction of 29,913,253.

Mr. Springer suggested that tbe sav-ing was at the rate of $102,000,000 foreach congressional district.

Mr. Rmdali, in conclusion, said thatearly in the session ho had. stated it ashis belief tbat tbe expenditures wouldbe reduced between thirty and fortymillion dollars. This statement of hishad then baen regarded asexeggeration.but events demonstrated its correctness.He regretted to say that in the strugglewith the senate the house had beencompelled to reduce to the extent of tenand a half million dollars. He hoped,and believed, that In another year thesenate would concur with the house,andhe asserted, with the President actingin harmony with the purpose of thehouse, a further reduction could be madeof ten millions. These facta and figuresspoke themselves, and needed noelaboration. One result which they de-monstrated, the majority tested itsclaim of having earnestly and faithfully discharged its duty to the people. Itnai not reuueeu tne expenditures asmuch as it had expected, buttho failure wuuutiu ruit.that the real natural and permanentway to a resumption of specio paymentwas in the reduction of government ex-penditures. Human foresight could notfix the day when it should take place.If twenty or thirty millions a year wassaved, not only would the means forspeedy resumption be provided, but con-fidence would be established, whichmust inevitably precede the desired result.

As Mr. Randall closed his speech hewas warmly applauded on his own sideof the house.

The Knoxville Chronicle, edited byEx-Senat- Brownlow, in its issue ofthe 11th, contained the following edito-rially :

"Isbam G. Harris is one of the ablcsmen in the Democratic party in thesouth. There is no doubt of this. But,at tbe same time, he is one of the mostunpopular men, in East Tennessee atleast. Tne leascn or tms is oovious. newa3 governor of tbe State at the begin-ning of the late war. and was one of themoat arbitrary and tyrannical men whoever occupied the position 01 a ruler.Ho was as ambitious as Csemr.

termined that his plaDS should prevailwhether they were bicked by publicsentiment or not. By the circumstanceswith whicn lie was surrounded at mattime, he knew that he could force Tennessee into tho rebellion, and he neverhesitated a moment about doing it. Hehad no more respect for thowishes and views of the Unionmen of East Tennessaee thanbe had for tbe then negro slave?.He determined tbat they should yield toins will and obey hl3 wishes, peaceablyif they could, but if not, then at tbepoint of a word or of the bayonet. Withsuch a record it is not strange that heshould be unpopular here. His name Isinseparably connected with the darkdays of the civil war, and while menare perfectly willing to let be

Application Made to Governor Hendricksfor Troops --Withont Them Officers

Cannot Cope with Rioters.

Cincinnati, August 13. Contrary togeneral expectation tbe striae of thebrakemen on the Ohio and Mississippirailroad did not end with the yieldingof the men at Seymour. At NorthVernon, Mitchell and Vincennes thestrikers refused to be governed by theSeymour parties, and ara still out. Acar containing the officers of the roadleft here this morning, and found mat-ters comparatively quiet at North Ver-non and Mitchell, and reported their be-lief tbat matters at these points could becontrolled in a(short time. When thecar reached Vincennes it was run on aside-trac- k by ttia striker and the switchspiked to prevent its removal. In addi-tion to the railroad officials, the car con-tained a detatchment of St. Louis police,who were driven across tbe Wabashriver into Illinois by the strikers. Tbelatter have been reinforced by some ofthe machinists f.om the shope, and ap- -

fiearto have possession of the town. Theauthorities have sent a strong ap-p- e

1 to Governor Hendricks, who up tothe present time has taken no action intho premises. Tbe situation ht isconsidered very grave, but the railroadauthorities hope for S.tate aid to morrowin preserving peace, when the strikerswill bo paid oil' and discharged.

LATER.Cincinnati, August 14. The situa-

tion along the Oaio and Mississippi rail-road Is practically unchanged. All isquiet at Seymour. At North Vernon,several of the strikers are holding freight-train- s

on both the main line and Louis-ville branch. At Mitchell all is quiet,and it is reported that no strikers arethere. At Vincennes the situation re-

mains unchanged from last night. Nofreigbi-trai- ns have been allowed to moveeast or W63t, thestrikors having full pos-session of the track. The sheriff hasmade two appeals to Governor Hen-dricks for a fcrce necessary to restoreorder, saying that he was unable, with-out material aid, to keep the peace.Governor Hendricks is expected at In-dianapolis when, it is believed,eome decisive measures will ba inaug-urated. General business at Vincennesis reported as seriously affected ty thedetention of freight, and the citizensare anxious for some prompt measuresto put an end to the dead-loc- k. Theleaders in the strike at tbat pointare represented as belonging to theroughest class of raiinau employes,who have forced others into the move-ment against their inclinations. Theemployes at Flora, Illinois, on thewestern division, struck this morning.The railroad authorities at once appliedto Governor Bavt ridge to preserve thepeace. He at once telegraphed to thesheriff of that county to arrest any andail persons that were engaged in stop-ping trains, and if the sheriff was una-ble to do so the governor would eendguard of one hundred men to assist him,and a company of State troops wasplaced in readiness, awaiting further ad-vices. The St. Louis special police whohad been escorted across Wabash riverat Vincennes last night, were takenj X....M ...umrmci niiuiu, 10 .Florato-da- y and sworn In by the sheriff at thelatter place, and have arrested severalor tne ring-leader- t, who will be taken toClay county jail at once. It is believedthat this prompt action will preventfurther trouble in tbat locality.

Superintendent Waldron issued noticeto-da- y to all the employes and othersinterested,as follows: "As there isaseem-in- g

misunderstanding of the positionassumedby the company in its dealingswitn tne stniiere. 1 desire to say for thebenefit of all interested, that the proposition advanced is simply that the menshall at once resume work at the reducedrates; tbat the June rolls will be paid aseoon as the pay-ca- r can get over theline, and that tho July rolls will be paidas Boon after falling due, which is cn anaverage for the line, tho twentieth of thefollowing month, as Is consistent withthe revenues, which are now stopped.This proposition the ni9n decline, de-manding all their over-du- e wages andno reduction."The strikers held a meeting atVincennes

this afternoon aud the committee wbiohhad been appointed to wait on Superin-tendent Waldron with their propositionmade their report. Tne proposition wasin effect that the men be paid in full thetwo months wages now due and be re-tained in the employment of the com-pany regardless' of the strike. Thereply was that the company was unableto meet tne nret part or tneir demand,but was willing to pay the June wagesin cash and give checks for the balancepayable in September. This wss notdeemed satisfactory and the men de-clined. The meeting is reported aa or-

derly, and was attended by nearly twoHundred persons. Moderation and firm-ness was the prevailing sentiment of thespeakers.

A correspondent writes us, under dateof the twelfth instant, as follows of athriving town and thriving countryonly twenty miles from Memphis:

The town of Kerrville is in the north-western portion of Shelby county, sec-ond civil district, and on the line of tbePaducah and Memphis railroad, distantfrom Memphis twenty miles, and fromthe Mississippi river twelve miles Ran-dolph beirg about the nearest point.It is less than four years since the firsthouse was built heie. It is of this vil-lage, the neighborhood surrounding it,and the inhabitants thereof that I wishto write. This is the house of A. H.Kerr, D D., who is widely known andmuch esteemed, both at home andabroad, for bis liberal views and benev-olent acts. Dr. Kerr is extensively en-gaged in merchandizing and planting,being the owner of several thousand acresof rich land adjoining the town. Be-sides Dr. Cart's score, there are fourothers, all keeping a general variety ofmerchandise, such as the requirementsof the country demand. And I thinkthe merchants here enjoy the benefit, aswell as the lepntation, of selling goodsat reasonable prices. Their combinedsales will not fall short of one hundredthousand dollars annually. There aretwo steam-mil- ls in this place, one ofthem grinds corn and has a cotton-gi- n

attached, the other grinds both com andwheat and has a cottox-i- n attached nleo.The wheat-mi- ll is busily engaged grind-ing the present year's exona. Wa. -. UMbeutut euops, one of them hav-ing wood-w- ot ks connected with it,which tnrns ont as good wagons, bug-gies, farming implement?, eta, as aremade anywhere in the country. Thepopulation of the village is not as largeas the business done here would indi-cate, for the reason that several personsdoing business here etill reside some dis-tance away. It is with regret I mustsay there is neither church nor school-hous- e

immediately in the place; how-ever, there are several of both near by.Tbe reason that one or more churcheshave not been bnilt here before this, isthat the people are reluctant to abandontheir old places of worship, and sub-scribe to building new and more expen-sive ones these hard times. I had al-

most forgotten to mention the railroaddepot, a substantial brick, and probablythe handsomest one on tne line.The country surrounding as Is well set-

tled, or what is called well settled forWest Tennessee that ia to say, aboutone-ha- lf the face of the country is incultivation; whereas, all the lands arewell adapted to cultivation, scarcely aspot or an acre excepted. It is encour-aging to behold the wide fields almostgroaning beneath their abundant andluxuriant crops of corn and cotton atthis date. This is called the Big Creekcountry, which is widely known for itswealth of soil and general productive-ness. It Is a high and naturally well-drain- ed

country, being many hundredfeet above the encroachments of thebackwater from the Mississippi river orany cf its tributaries. The health ofthis neighborhood is as good as any partof West Tennessee, but we are not ex-empt from bilious complaints which pre-vail throughout this latitude, especiallywhere the soil is rich and the forestsdense; yet, with a better system ofdrainage than wa now have, and saytwo-thir- ds of the forests clearedaway, it would be reasonable to expectas good health here as they enjoy inany part of Kentucky or Virginia. Andthere may be millions of dollars madeout of this timber, for notwithstandingtho great amount which has been takenoff since the railroad passed through,there still remain large bodies of un-broken timbered lands. The timber isof the best quality oak, poplar, hickoryand ash being the principal growth. Iwould especially call the attention of allwithin our herders who contemplateemigrating to distant parts of tbe coun-try. They will certainly commit an er-

ror by leaving or overlooking a countrylike this. It is new enough, for yourchildren will not live to see its re-sources fully developed, no matterhow rapid its improvement may be.If you want to farm, here Is improvedand wild lands at reasonable prices. Ifyou aro a fancier of stock and its cul-ture, examine this section before lo-

cating. If yon are inclined to deal orwork in timber, here it i?. And if per-chance yon are a merchant ormanu-factuie- r,

come here, for the country isalready settled with a class of citizenswho will welcome and encourage allmen of enterprise and industry whowish to abide with us. The inhabitantshere are disposed to offer that same gen-eio- us

hospitality which characterizedthe south before the cruel war made usso selfish. Even the colored citizenswith U3 (and we have a great many) arenoted for their polite behavior and in-

dustrious habits. Beside our bibles andagricultural papers, we all read the Mem-phis Appeal, and are solid for Tiidenand Hendricks
