LOUISVILLE, May "A, 1871.
The arrival Of Horace Greeley in
POrkOp0lis yesterday en- route for the
Lone Star State, was the principal
topic of interest. learn through the
APPEAL, by the way, that Horace
will be the next sensation in Mem
phis in a few weeks. Truly, our Bluff
City is becoming the most attractive
place in the South for the reception of
distinguished characters. Nothing Ike
it to give nOtOriety and to infuBe a
greater spirit Of enterprise and liberal
ity among the people of your city,
who are so gifted by nature with pro-
gressive ideas, for the development OF
Memphis.
''MEMPHIs AND HER RAILROAD sYs-
TEN"
is the title of map and letter sheet
published, illustrating the future
growth of Memphis, which demon
strates beyond all contradiction the
wonderful advantages possessed by
the young Chicago Of the South as a
great railway and commercial center.
This travelling critic gives it as his
opinion from this map that Memphis,
within ten years, will Outrivsl In pop
ulatiOn all her more pretentiOUs
Northern and Southern cities.
A BLOW AT FRONT ROW.
Why don't your merchants circulate
the map and the printed information
given everywhere? It will be worth
ten thousand inhabitants and consul
ners of Memphis dry goods and gro
ceries. Your tradesmen Of Front
street must be a hard set, tOiling
against each other and never cOmbin
ing to accomplish any grand result
which would enrich them all. Why
don't they distribute this map and
letter sheet everywhere, far and near,
in America and Europe?
GRANTS PLAN OF SEEING LOUIS
VILE.
The people Of Louisville are agi-
tated on account of the aggressive
movement of the negroes to ride in
the street cars, and their attempt to
force social equality. The excitement
among the pOpUlace is growing, and
riotOus demonstrations may be antic-
ipated. SambO and Dinah are con-
siderably exercised in consequence Of
their election from the cars by drivers
of the various lines. The city papers
counsel fOrbearance, in order that
Grant and his party may be deprived
Of the opportunity they seek to an
nounce Louisville in a State OF insUr-
rection, for the purpose Of declaring
martial law. Evidently the whole
affair is the work Of white Radicals
with black hearts, who act as willing
tools to incite disorders in the South
for political effect.
From the East I viii take Presi-
Dental notes and give APPEAL read
ers jOttings by the way upon political
topics. TRAVELLING CRITIC.

Clafin scandal case, was before JUS
tice Ledwith this afternoon, and
proved and immense sensation. The

Victoria Clafin Woodruff Blood, was
charged with attempting TO kill her
mother, Tennie Clafiin and Mrs. Vic
toria Woodruff, the feminine brokers
on Broad street.

would do business better. Blood had
threatened to kill her, and she feared
he would deprive her Of her freedom
BY causing her arrest as a lunatic.
Trouble was also caused by witness
complaining when there was no
money to do the marketing. Blood
made a rush at her, but Mrs. Wood
hull. a strange woman, caught him by
the neck and threatened to have him
nut in iail. Blood was known in Chi
csgo, st. Louis, DesmOines, and other
cities, as DR.. Harvey.
Mrs. Sparr, daughter OF Mrs.
| Claflin. testified that there was q good
deal Of f0Oling between her mother,
her broker sisters and Blood, and the
/ latter threatened to wash his hands
in her mothers blood.

His attitude and conduct at the late
session Of Congress were truly admir-
able, and his course, ever since his
vote against the Impeachment Of
PRESIDENT JOHNSON,
has been such as to afford no adequate
cause for Democratic opposition to
him, while his really well, deserved
and admitted reputation as chairman
Of the important Judiciary Commit
tee, and his popularity among all
classes Of Republicans, is sufficient
not merely to carry his own State for
the Democracy, but TO place al the
doubtful and CLOSE States safely
within the Democratic lines, thus
fully assuring the victory from the
start.
Altogether, while patiently waiting
and obediently deferrinR to the regu-
lar nomination, we venture to select
as lhe favorite for the moment for
choice and par excellence, Lyman
7rJ1l5uU, Of Il}inOjs, for President,
and GOUeTnOr AIcOTl, Of Mississippi,
