Editors Memphis Appeal:
Jefferson county held an enthusiastic
mass meeting at this place yesterday,
establishing the Democratic or white
mans party, appointing twenty-five
| delegates to the State Democratic Con-
vention at Little Rock on the 9th inst,
| and passed set OF resolutions, which
will be forwarded to you rs early as pos
sible, and TO which your attention is par
| ticularly invited, as well as 70 the pro-
ceedings on the occasion.
In all directions an earnest enthu-
| siasm and unity are manifested that
leave.no doubt with US that the free ne
gro constitution will be voted down when
Its day shall arrive.
1t now seems that a scRndalous robbery
OF the Treasury of Arkansas has been
committed under an order of Gen. Ord's.
He removed the worthy Treasurer Of Ar
kansas, appointed q subaltern military
officer Ia RadicaD TO be his successor,
and then ordered him to take 100000 Of
1t and invest it in United States bonds;
thereupon this officer, claiming to be no
longer military but civil officer, With
draws 500, 600 of gold and silver out OF
the Treasury and invests in United states
bonds to the same amount, making
clearly profit not accounted for Of S35,-
900 to $40 900, and thereupOn deposits the
bonds with Spinner Of the Treasury at
Washington. Thus read the accounts
OF this affair from Little Rock.
The planting interests of the great val
ley of Arkansas are blown Sky high.
The ruin is So complete that the debates
of Congress upon the repeal of any or all
the tax on cotton, next crop, are read ty
the people with derision. Help now,
and not hereafter, would save many, but
twelve months hence will prove no more
than premium to a scattering few. The
masses, white and black, are destroyed
by delay, and the fields go to wilderness.
The State at large looks on the AP-
PEAL with pride, and gives every sympa-
thy and confisnce to it under your guild
ance. Yours, etc, r. X. Y.
in g country where the natural desire
Of the people is to reach the highest point
in art, it is very difficult tforsuecesst to be OBJ
tanned without most arduous labor. Pub
lie opinion is extremely exacting and not
always just; but often unjust and cruel
criticism has produced the most benef-
cisl results; the greatest improvements
have been made under continued dis.
couragements, and in many successful
efforts deieatseemed certain to all except
those concerned. In no one branch of
art has there been more trials and fail
ures, and in no single instrument is there
so many different parts to perfect in order
to make the whole success, as the piano
forte; this is always attended with great
expense, requiring large capital and pa
tient perseverance. Grovesteen & Co.

ufacturing pianos thirty-six years ago,
and are one of the oldest houses in the
couHtry. They aim to make the best in
strument, and sell it at the smallest profit.
These pianos cannot be exceIIsd. Their
singing quality is pure, full, ami easily
retained through the most lengthy pas
ssges. For power they are unparalleled,
and are celebrated for their great bril-
liancy, exquisite touch, and elegance of
style and finish,
The Dayton Ledger, of February
18th, in defining its position, says George
II. Pendleton will carry the State Of
Ohio by $4,000 nsjority, and that he is
the only Democrat for whom the State is
sure. The Ledger is considered Mr..
Vsllandigham's organ, and recently saw
agely defended him against the savage
attacks Of the New York World, carry
ing the war into Africa.
