AGRICUL1URAL MOVEALENES.

AGRICULTURAL MOVE1LENTS.
Our Agricultural Association is
moving forward with the energy and
public spirit which characterize the
men who are connected with it.
They have purchased the very eligible
and accessible grounds of the old race
course, on the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad, four and a half miles
from the city. On Monday they en-
tered into a contract to con-
struct buildings on a most lib
eral and convenient scale. The work
will go forward, and the October
Fair will be an era in the
history of our city and county. We
entertain no doubt that our citizens
generally will enter into this first
Fair with all the zest and enterprise
that have heretofore characterized the
people of the Northwest in their great
Fairs. Yet some additional aid is
needed. The committees appointed
to wait On our citizens will, during
the present week, call on them and
ask for further subscriptions Of stock.
We can not doubt that they will be
literally accorded. What can add
more to the material wealth of peO-
pie than these contests of superiority
in supplying the best and most i'm
proved stock and products, and the
highest efforts of craftsmanship and man
ufacture? What can more certainly
improve our social condition and eX-
tend that acquaintance among our
selves, so necessary to our happiness
and improvement, than these annual
Fairs? Let every man who is inter
ested in the community, exert him
self to give excellence and success to
this commendable effort to plant our
Agricultural Society upon a perma-
nent foundation. We invoke our cit
liens to respond promptly and liber-
ally to the efforts of the committees.

A WAsHIN GTON dispatch says that
owing to the Importance Of the ques-
ton involved in the YERGER case,
the AttOrney-Genera has entered into
a written stipulation with Messrs.
PHILLIPS and CARLISLE for the pur-
pose of initiating proceedings by
which these questions will be brought
before the Supreme Court in October
next, for consideration and adjudica-
ton. In the meantime the applica-
ton to the Chief Justice is suspended
without prejudice to the petitioners.
The District-AttOrney in Mississippi
is directed to facilitate any proceed
ings necessary for the presentation of
the case to the Supreme Court. The
AttOrney-Genera is authorized by the
President to say that no sentence of
the Military Commission viii be car
ried into effect, save that which may
be necessary to the safe custody of the
prisoner. This agreement meets with
the appreciation of Chief Justice
CHASE. There is a chance for a lawful
trial of YERGER yet.

The family Bible was found lying
open at the register of marriage
and birth, wherein were written the
names and dates of birth of the children,
and the marriage certificate ofthe parents
was carefully pinned to the leaf. Duggan
himself wrote and posted the letter to
the authorities, and then went back and
prepared for them the unexpected
sight " which it promised.
The Virginia State Educational
Convention in session in Lexington, yes
terday, after an exciting debate on the
mode of educating the colored race, IN
view OF the present anomalous condition
of affairs, tabled the subject untli the
next annual session. An educational
journal was authorized, Gen. Lee taking
fifty shares of the stock.

tect of the Government, viii have the

THE RAILROAD STOCK GALN,

| THE RAILROAD STOCK AGAIN.
The Finance Committee, as we
learn, has hypothecated the city's
Little Rock Railroad stock with the
First National Bank, not, as was to
be expected, for the purpose of raising
funds to meet the present financial
wants of the city, but for the purpose
of taking up such scrip as the Bank
held, amounting to several thousand
dollars, sufficient at least to cover the
so-called market value of the stock
and put it beyond liquidation for the
present, if not forever. This has been
done under circumstances that call
for explanation. The people of this
city will not lightly regard a transac-
ton that jeopardises property so val
liable, and likely to become, very
shortly, more so. They will force and
compel a thorough sitting of this trans
action, and will visit with severest
condemnation and punishment those
engaged in it if found to be in fault
as we are led to believe they are, in
the absence of such an explanation
as should have been made before the
Board of Aldermen last evening.
The failure of the Board to meet
and transact business increases the
uneasiness of citizens in regard to
this transaction, and we hear of threats
to take the government of the city
out of the hands of the Board
and vest it in a Receiver; or at
the least that an injunction restrain
ing the Finance Committee will
be sued out, compelling that impor-
tant committee to answer not only to
this, but all its transactions, and
break up its future plans in Onnec
ton with the finances of the city.
This would be a step to be regretted.
Litigation is always to be avoided.
1t is a dernier resort, and should be
availed of only when all other RENE
dies fail. 1t has the effect of injuring
the property of the litigants, and in
the case of a large corporation i'm
pairs the value of its securities. We
must avoid the Courts; but, holding
our public servants up to the line of
their duty, we must have recourse to
them if necessary. We hope in this
case it will not become necessary. A
full meeting of the Board OF Thurs
day, and a proper explanation of the
contract of hypOthecation may pre-
vent such a step.

VIRGINIA..

The New York World says that
evidence every day increases of the
determined intention of the people
and old party leaders in Virginia to
subscribe to no political course, which
is not based upon a thorough desire to
bring the State fairly and squarely
into the Union, inside the Congress
sional theories of reconstruction, and
in harmony with what the whole tone
of Conservative sentiment in Virginia
seems pleased to denOminate the
'liberal" and '.just" policy of Presi-
dent GRANT. An entire new party
has been really practically organized
since the 9th inst, composed of adhe-
rents to all the old political parties,
and under the lead of the combined
force of all the leading representative
men of these time-hOnored OrganiZa-
tions. Advices received at Washington
by private letters, written by intel
ligent observers of the present course
of events in the Old Dominion" are
to the effect that the recent %enuncia-
tiOns of the press Of that State, upon
the meanings and results of the cleo
ton, are thorough opponents of the
popular sentiment of the State. The
people there want a new organization
separate and distinct from any of the
past. Their devotion to the State,
and their heartfelt rejOicings at her
d~eliveranee from the rule of the past
few years, leaves 10 room in their
breasts for fostering anXieties for party
affiliations, other than those which
has been born of the recent victory.
Such is the statement made by sensi-
bic authority. In keeping Herewith
is the following paragraph in italics
from a leading editorial of the Rich
mond Enquirer and Examiner, with
reference to the party which tri-
umphed at the recent election: Its
mission is to accomplish the speedy
return of Virginia to the Union upon
the basis of universal suffrage and
universal amnesty, and its future sup
port will be given to the party which,
regardless of dead issues and old party
lines, shall prove most generous, lib
eral and efficient in restoring our po-
litical liberties and in promoting the
prosperity of Virginia and of the
other States"

THE voters of Memphis and OF
Shelby County, should see to it that
they are prepared with the necessary
voting papers by election day. They
have no excuse for delays. Mr..
BoUGHNER, the Registrar is prepared
to accommodate himself to their
wants, and to do all within his power
for them. The man who can register
and fails to do so, must rank with the
enemies of acknowledgements. We
conjure every voter who reads the
APPEAL to register promptly and
vote early.

CoNvERsATIONs.-Then new mode Of bring
ing out the opinions Of prominent men in
the form of conversations has grown
very popular. At first, people thought the
permeating and brazen-faced letter writer's
were guilty of great improperly and breach
of confidence, as in some instances was no
doubt the case; but it soon became appa-
rent that the politicians rather liked it.
Indeed, the artifce has been used as q
means of eleotioneering as well as me
dunn for the qualification of personal ego
tism or spite. 1t enables men of the sore
head persuasion to fire off a broadside at
the whole world.
The latest is conversation with General
BUTLER reported by the Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Herald. In
this the General looms up tremendously on
personal matters, national affairs, and
foreign relations. On national affairs he
seems to have assembled his tower to take
an observation, whilst on the men and the
policies of this country he stands as a
| Colossus striding the big ditch.
