THE READERS OF THE APPEAL will
doubtless be glad to learn that the great
enterprises now before the people OF
Memphis are progressing most prOmis-
ingly. The stock of the Mississippi Val
ley Navigation Company is being rap
idly taken up, and We learn that Mr..
JAMES VICES is doing finely with bis
Furniture Mandatory. The MississiI pl
River Railroad and the Selma Rsilroad
are doing as well cut Of Memphis as
their most sanguine friends could wish,
and the feeling Of our moneyed men in
favor Of beth enterprises is rapidly
changing to what it should have been
from the first. The GsyOso Gas Com,
psny is likely to be very soon under
way, and the contractors are pushing the
work on the Little Rock Railroad. Thus
We are moving, slowly to be sure, out
certainly. We want to be able to report
shortly the commencement Of q cotton
mill, q helve factory or two, and to hear
of the revival of the rolling mill, that at
one time bid fair to be q success. With
our immigration scheme on a good basis
and manufactures in progress, our sue
cess is assured.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, April 9.-Metdtre
Course, Fifth Day-First race, two mile
heats, hurdle dash, eight leaps, club
purse of $500. Transit beat Cbalmette
and Conlisk's four year old chestnut gel
ding, by Endorser. Time, 1854.
Second race-mile heats, three in five ;
purse 5000. Little Mack l-2-l-1. Jno.
Kilgour 2-1-2-2. Time, l:39, l:46i,

the first race-betting light. Kilgour

one-heavy betting.
The steamship Gan. Grant took fire
last night, while lying at the wharf,
and burned until she sunk. There was
no insurance on her In this city. The
loss fell on Northern ~companieI. During
the progress o. the fire, her commander,
Capt. Q1ick, whose mind was apparently
affected by the loss of his vessel, made
several attempts to commit suicide by
throwing himself into the buraing ves-
sci. Only a portion of the vessels cargo
was on board, consisting OF bulk grain,
bagging, oil and cotton seed. The greater
portion Of the cargo was on the wharf,
and was not damaged.

A SOLUTION Of our Indian troubles is
likely to be resched before the adjourn
ment of Congress. The sensible, hu-
name and practicable suggestions Of
BUTLER. Of Massachusetts, are meeting
with fs<5r everywhere. They have
been endorsed by the House of Repre-
s~entatives by a large majority, and are
now before the Senate in q shape that, it
is rumored, meets with the approval Of
President GRANT. It is proposed by
this plan to appoint ten Commissioners,
and to place in the hands Of the Presi-
dent the sum Of two million dollars, to
be used at the discretion of the Commits
sion, and with the sanction Of the Presi-
dent, who, at the close Of every year,
will report to Congress and account for
these disbursements; this money to be
used, not in the enforcement OF treaties
but In the furtherancs Of sueh schemes
of benevoleuce and civilization for tie
bepefit Of tbs Indians, as must result in
their becoming what the Fourteenth
Constitutional amendment contemplstes
them, 4 G. citizsa OF the United States.
Such a plan cannot fail OF the most
beneficial effects fer whites as
well as Indians. As the Cana
disn and Mexican Governments
have never been troubled with
Indian wsrs, simply because they have
treated their Indians as human beings,
entitled to protection against thievery
and wrong, and 10 all ths blessings OF
good government, it is presumed that a
similar course OF treatment On our part
viii realize for the Indians Of the
United States the same result. II the
plan proposed by BUTLER (the last man
from whom we should expect humani-
tartan visws) is conided for execution
to intelligent and upright men of
Quaker faith, as is proposed, we shall
look for q definite and comparatively
inexpensive solution Of u Indian
troubles.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Inthe Brooklyn

A young man named Thomas was
found at the back door Of his house,

badly beaten. His watch, pocket-book

such parts thereof So shall have been
adopted by the psOple, be submitted to
Congress on the first Monday Of Dscem-
Der next for It's consideration, so that if
the same lie then approved, the necessary
steps will have been taken for the resuor-
alton Of Virginia to its proper relations to
the Union.
am led to make this recommendation
from the confident hope and belief that
the people of that State are now ready
to cooperate With the national govern
ment in bringing it into such relations
to the Union as 1t ought, as soon az pos
sible, to establish and maintain, n to
give to all its people those equal rights
under the law which are asserted in the
Declaration OF Independents.
In the words OF d of the most Illus
trious sons, 1 desire also to ask the con-
sideration of Congress to the question
whether there is not just ground for be-
lisviog that the constitution framed by
a convention of the people Of Mississippi
for that State, and once rejected, might
not be again submitted to the people OF
that State in like manner, and with the
probability OF the same result.

message OF President GRANT, advising
and urging Congress to complete the
work Of constitution by the passsgs OF

and enact such measures Of recOnstruc-
ton as will meet these views Of Presi-

about 4 pm, and it ia expected the fire

THE people Of Memphis, indeed OF

regret of the continued dangerous illness
Of the sage and statesman, Hon. ALEX.
II. STEPHENS. Although no longer in
the service Of the nation he has none the
less employed his time in behalf of the
people, and it was hoped that be would
still longer be spared to advise and direct
his countrymen during the critical period
through which We are passing. We
msy yet hope that, Notwithstanding the
infrmities Of a naturally weak constItu-
ton, he will recover and reslizs for his
friends, especially those Of Georgia, all
thst they have anticipated Of wise couD-
sci as to their course in the future.

WE are privately informed that ap
pointments for this State by any Of the
Departments are made directly through
the President and only with his sanction.
The first Interrogation is Are you q
relative of Gen. GRANT, or connected in
any wsy with any member of his
fsmily?" II so, the situation is certain.
If not, the candidate is next interro-
gated: "Are you connected by blood or
marriage with BARBOUR LEWIS, W. J.
SMITH or Judge HUNTER, of Memphis ?"
Or, "Have you opposed ANDREW JOHN
SON in his policies a~ntagonistie to Con-
gress q" Or, " Are you an enemy Of w.
G. BRowNLow, who so recently vim
dictively opposed my GRANTS will In
the matter OF the repeal of the Tenure
of-ofhee Bm?" II an affirmative an
swer can be given to any one Of the
above questions, there ia some hope fer
the candidate; II not, he ia advised at
once to take his carpet-bsg and retire
from the scene OF contention. II you
are not a relative Of GRANT or a friend,
you must be Of his friends, or an avowed
enemy Of those who oppose his will.
This is the new system adopted to re.
move politics from the machinery Of the
Government.
