Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-09-05


red and fifty thousand.
This much, / think, from my own
knowledge of Col. Folsom,-there IS
nothing political in the movement; If
there were he would not be caught
having anything to do with it. There
are two good reasons which prove
this to my mind. In the first place
the order of seizure was made out,
signed and delivered before the late
election. In the second (by far the
strongest argumenD more than
half of the stockholders and
directors of the roads are "Out
and out" Stokes men, and
supported him with all their power.
If the conflict foreshadOwed by the
Press and Herald is to be brought on
in any such manner as that described,
it is not likely the " Eagle bird "
would commence by fighting his own
people.
A CABAL.
Horace Maynard and one or two
other prominent StOke5ites have been
in town for a day or two past, and are
rearing around extensively. POliti-
clans here are on the qui Uire to know
what it means. The Press and Herald
this morning calls Horace's attention
to the seditiOn law and reminds him
and his eonspiratoIs that it is in full
force yet, and although created for
the purpose of aiding BrownlOw in
his absOlutism, may prove just as
useful to Senter. So mote it be. There
is no doubt in the minds Of some of
the shaTpest politicians of this portion
Of the STATE that some devilment is in
the wind, and that Senter will soon
be called upon to act with a strong
hand, and crush or be crushed.
JOHNSON.
There is a r singular unanimity !
of opinion on the Senatorial
question in this region. l have not
found a man OF any infOrma-
lion, or who did not have a per-
sOnal object for being the other way, |
who does not heartily endorse and
pray for the election of johnson to the
position. The Radicals here admit
the fact TO be a foregone conclusion
and are terribly ri Over it. One
well known politician whom l
met at Chattanooga almost fOamed
al the mouth in talking about it. The
Press and Herald is out for him strong. |
HOHder Jchdt concerted it,
RINGS,
too, are 4" played since the " young |
MEMS" alias Conservative Repub-
~lican,' alias Universal Suffrage"
atlas Liberal" party was SO summa-
rily knocked in the head.
BREAD.
There is quite q war going on here
between the bakers, and as a beneti- |
Ciai result to the whole community,
bread is cheaper than it has been since
the war. Several bakers offer twenty
lOaVes (the size of our Memphis
ten cent loaves) for a dollar,
and one, who is bent on break
ing down opposition, offers thlr-
ty lOaYes, guaranteed TO weigh
rs much as the five cent lOaves, Tor
the same money. We wish something
Of the sort would commence in Mem
phis.
THE CROPS.
Farmers who were in town yestar-
day after the rain say that if we have
an occasional shower during the COM
ing ten days or two weeks half the
corn crop considered lost will b. saved.
The crop OF wheat of this region is es-
timated by competent Judges to be at
least three million bushels. The re-
cent rains, in addition 10 having
cooled the atmosphere, have madei
the chances OF all growing and ungath-
cred crops much more favorable.
BOKUM.
l see by the Atlanta Era that the
Rev Herman Bokum, late Superin-
tendeat of Immigration, has settled
in that town, and is going to teach
German to the juvinile AtIantans at
- 80 per month. There are a good
many Radical reverend supernumer-
aries who never did the State a dol
lars worth Of good, that might with
equal prOpriety skip across the bOr-
der and get into business before the
Legislature meets, will have a hegira
soon that will be remembered as long
as MahOmet's.
MISCELLANEOUS.
an the coal dealers here have COM
bined themselves into a company, al
leging that they a thus undersell
their Individual prices, thus furnish
ing a better article andmOre OF it.
The University Building il about
receiving & little painting and
repairing preparatory to opening
on the-15th inst. Three students from
each county are admitted free OF
tuition fees, on the nomination of the
County Representative. Two daily !
papers are OOn to be started at Chatta-
nOoga-sO say the prOspectuSes, both of
which r lying On my table. One is
to be called the Daily Telegraph and
the other the Daily Enterprise. 1t is
said that one is TO be started by a. Z.
Stewart, and the other by one of the !
R0thschild family, who are about to
run a race to see which can get rid of
his fortune soonest. $50 in lemons
and get squeezed, 4" is the classic advice
l give them. +. l.. J.
HERzOG & Bro. will open on Tues
day CLOSED on Monday 3 fresh line
of cOlored alpacas and pOplins, mt
thirty-five cents per yard. Some
thing very cheap, and n bargain. Go
and look for yourself.
