THE SHOW CASE BUSINESS.

Recently there has been established in
Memphis a new branch of business,
which is destined to flourish in these
parts. We refer to the showcase man
ufacture which is carried on at 342 See
end street, up stairs. The business is
susceptible of immense cultivation and
enlargement. Henry J. Harrington is
carrying on that industry with much
success. We saw in his room YES
terday a nine-foot showcase of his
make, with silvered framing and French
plate glass body, worth one hundred and
ten dollars, the beauty of which could
hardly be equaled in New York, and the
price of which in that city would be
twenty per cent. higher. 1t is a gem,
and is enough to establish the fame and
make the reputation Of Mr.. Harrington.
1t is intended for the harness shop OF
Ferguson d Privett. 1t is the finest
piece Of work he has made. There are
other cases up in his rooms of less pre-
tentious character. We saw them in all
stages of progress, from the raw wood to
the polished finish. The process is in
teresting and agreeable--very agreeable
to US who are red hot'' on the growth
of home manufacturers and home busi-
ness generally. We earnestly commend
the house of Mr.. Harrington to the at
tention of dealers Of all sorts, who win
be in constant need of such articles. We
also call the attention of merchants who
have country customerS, to the import
ant fact that there is a showcase manu-
factory in the city.

sIMoN W. GREEN.

On this morning will appear the name
Of Simon w Green as a candidate for q
seat in the Lower House of our next
General Assembly from Shelby, and we
take occasion to say that DO young man
is better known 10 the voters of this
city and county. For number Of years
he has been foremost in the labor to
elect oUr ticket, and whilst others have
faltered Simon Green has ever
stood up and done his whole duty. Pos
sessing qualifications to make an eff
cient and successful member of our Leg
islature, and having rendered the ser
vice which entities him to the place, it
is confidently hoped by his friends that
the voters Of the Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth districts will triumphantly elect
him as one Of the standard-bearers of
our party on the twentieth instant. 1t
viii be but fitting reward Of a faithful
servant Of the party, and we are sure
no member viii study the interests OF
his constituents more carefully, or more
vigorousiy7than Simon W. Green. His
personal habits of sobriety, and indus
try, and capital good sense commend
him TO the favorable consideration of all
who know him.

THE CITY AND THE COUNTRY.

To build up the interests of our city in
every worthy branch of its growth, is a
pleasure TO the APPEAL. The extension
and prosperity of our wholesale trade is
q source Of great qualification to us, es-
pecially when we see those who seek the
favors of the public through our col
umns, exhibiting evidences of largely
increased business and prosperity.
Among this number, our neighbors
across the way, the Messrs. Allison
Brothers, the wholesale hardware mer-
chants, of II Union street, are pre-emi-
nently werthy Of that hearty support
and patronage whichthey enjoy from a
large and rapidly increasing merchants
trade throughout Tennessee, Arkansas
and Mississippi. They are all young
men of the highest business qualifica-
tions and personal integrity, and having
lately changed the character of their
business to that of an ercltsiue tUhoJesdle
hdr0l1oare house, we bespeak for them
the patronage of the country merchants
generally. Their stock is complete and
assorted, especially to meet the wants of
the trade. Their large and handsome
store-roOms have just undergone remod-
cling, and will soon be filled by extern
sive importations from England and
Germany with q stock commensurate
with their increasing trade. Country
merchants can rest well assured of hav-
ing their interests carefully and prompt
ly subserved when dealing with them,
and it affords us pleasure to place their
claims before our many readers.

MEXICO.
The ReVOlutiOnists again In the Ascend
aney-The New Cabinet.

NEW YORK, July "a Herald Mata-
moras special says that the secretary Ol
Diaz, now in Brownsville, denies the al.
legged proclamation of Diaz purpOrting tC
modify the plan of Nova, published in
the JuareZ papers. The position of Diaz
is that Juarez not being legally elected,
LerdO is therefore eI GffciO President.
The LerdOists agree with him, but will
avoid a revolution, except as last re-
sort. They represent the wealth and in
telligence of the country.
Dates from Monterey state that the
report of the capture of that city was pre-
mature. 1t is, however, surrounded by
three thousand troops.
Remidas, having only eight hundred
men, has offered to surrender condition
ally. Trevano demands an uncondi-
tional surrender. There are no signs of
government reinforcements from the in
terror. DOrata Guerra has captured Du-
range, and engages the attention OF
ROeba. The trouble with the National
Guard has been quieted. Juarez tele-
graphed to the merchants here to send
ten of the guns on the fOrtifcations to
New York to be recast. Cevallos stopped
the execution of the order because it
would leave the city without guns.
The following are the new Ministry
Foreign Relations: james NeOria, l.. A.
FraZili; Home Government: +. Gamez,
Des PlaccO; Secretary of the Treasury /:
+. Mejia; Secretary of War: Ignatia
Mejia; Secretary of the Interior: Belli-
cas-.
CevallOs has Just telegraphed that he
is starting for Monterey.

BIG FIRE.
The New York Central Railroad Suffers
Loss Of near $25O,OOO in Cars,
Freight, Etc.

ALBANY, July "a fire this even
ing in the paint shop Of the New York
Central railroad at West Albany soon
reduced The shop to ashes, and about fifty
cars, loaded with freight, which were
standing in the vicinity took fire. The
flames also extended to three of Wag-
ner's drawing-rOOm ears. At first the
fire was supposed to be confined to the
paint shop, but breeze sprung up and
it was feared that all the buildings in
the place would be swept away, there
fore a second alarm Of the fire-alarm
telegraph reached this city and addi-
tiOnal steam fire-engines were sent out.
The losses are estimated as follows: Six
" freight cars, ninety thousand dollars;
freight in ears, fifty thousand dollars;
three sleeping cars, twenty-five thous-
and dollars; one drawing-rOom car,
twenty Thousand dollars; five passenger
coaches. ten thousand dollars; paint
shop, forty thousand dollars. Total loss,

/ Special 10 the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, July 6.-The parties
charged with issuing fraudulent certih-
Gates Of State Indebtedness, Fred Krull,
Christian Johannsen, c. S. Murphy, and
H. A. Timmons, were brought before
Judge Whytock this afternoon, on O
writ Of hG6eds corpus, TO decide as to
whether bail could be taken. Pending
the examination Judge Whytock decided
that bail could not be taken and the four
were remanded 10 await further exam
ination. 1t is thought here that the par
ties arrested are only the tools Of the
more acute rascals, and that the exami-
nation Of the parties now under arrest
will implicate Others more prominent.
,Iimmons is a notorious Radical; has
filed several important Offices in Clarke
county, and has the reputation Of being
one Of the most expert ballot-box suffers
in the State. Krull and Johannsen are
Germans Of little or no character. Mur-
ply is a curb-stone broker, a dealer in
State securities, etc. The amount of the
frauds thus far discovered is thirty thous-
and dollars.

Preparations, SpeculatiORs, and Prog
HOsticatiORs as TO the Action
Of the National Democrat
cratic Convention
Prevailing Opinion that Greeley and
Brown and the Cincinnati Platform
win be IndOrsed-The German
Element Unanimous for II.

NEW YORK, July "a Baltimore
dispatch announces the arrival of q large
number Of delegates to the Democratic
Convention, among them Kelly, of Or
egOn, and J. q. Thompson, Of Ohio. It
seems TO be the general belief that Gree
ley will be nominated, but there is COM
paratively little talk OF candi-
dates, the interest OF the occasion be-
ing mostly centered in the selection of 8
National Executive Committee and of
the officers of the convention. There is
a determined effort to oust Belmont from
the Craftsmanship of the committee.
An attempt viii be made TO give the
place to Mr.. Niblack, Of Indiana.
Southern delegates evince consider
able feeling against selecting either the
temporary or permanent chairman from
any. of the seeded States, and are in
favor Of giving the former 10 the East
ern or Middle States, andthe latter to the
West. Strong current Iumors favor
making General John A. McClernand,
of Illinois, President of the Convention.
He is pressed mainly for his strong mill
tary reputation and political ability.
The principal names mentioned for tenn
porary chairman are Governor Thomas
of Maryland, Governor Vance Of North
Carolina and Thomas BOcock Of Vir-
ginia, but Thomas viii probably be the
man. The members Of the National
Committee who are in the city ht Id a
meeting to hear the report of the Resi-
dent Committee in charge of the ar
rangements for the meeting OF the Con-
ventiOn. The National Committee
will meet tomorrow, if anything like a
full meeting can be obtained. when the
question of temporary craftsmanship will
be discussed and probably decided
Nothing is heard as yet Of boilers from
the convention.
The anti-Greeley Democrats will hold
a private conference in Baltimore on
Monday and organize their convention
to meet Tuesday at noon. They meet
in the Maryland Institute.
The Germans held a meeting in this
city last night and prepared list of sig
natures, to present 10 the convention, in
favor Of Greeley and Brown.
BALTIMORE, July 6.-About two hun
dred delegates to the convention ar
rived tonight, most of whom are from
Southern and distant States A major
ity of the New York delegation, includ-
ing Governor Hoffman and Augustus
Schell, have arrived. A large number
Of representatives of the press have also
arrived. General McClernand, of Hi
nOis, is mentioned as the most promi-
nent for President Of the convention
among the Southern delegates now here. |

THE STOKES TRIAL.
Examination OF Witnesses still Going OF
Important Testimony ELECTED
for the Defense.

New YORK, July 6.-There was some
excitement around the court, over a re-
port of the death of Judge McCunn.
The first witness in the Stokes case
was John Moore, who testified that he
saw Fisk go into the Grand Central Ho-
tel on January 9th, and afterward the
boy Redmond came out and said that
Fisk was shot; witness went in and
caught the Colonel under the arms; no
one was present but the two of them; he
was just going TO ask "Are you hurt?'
when Fisk said, ''He was too quick for
me this time" when witness came out,
Fisk's colOred driver asked him what
had happened, aud on telling him he
said, "WOndeT the old man didn't pull
ON him, for he was fixed, f" and afterward
said, II carry two myself for some
time.n
The cross examination brought out no
contradictions.
George w. Bailey was the next called,
but the Court would not admit what the
defense wanted to prove by him, as TO
what Stokes said before the murder.
Witness Baily testified he met Stokes
near the hotel, and endeavored to per-
suade him 10 go into the hotel, but the
latter declined, and on walking up
Broadway, he met Stokes 'Sbrother, when
both returned to the hotel, where they
heard Of the shooting Of Fisk; thence
went to the statiOnhOuse to see Stokes,
and while at the latter place we saw
Redmond, who, on being asked what's
matter with him, said be was brought
there as a witness to the shooting, but
was so frightened he hardly knew how
it happened.
John Gibney testified: Saw Fisk ar
rive and go into the hotel, and the boy
Redmond shortly run out, saying Colonel
Fisk is shot. Gibney went around to
the front entrance and saw Stokes SIT
ting on bench with the pOrters Heard
Powers ask Stokes what he came to the
hotel for, and Stokes said he came to
see Mr.. -, but the name was not heard
by the witness.
c. II. Reed testified to knowing that
Stokes went armed.
Here a number of questions were ex-
cluded.
p. J. Boutwell,, a porter at the hotel,
testified that he was unable to find the
pistol in the parlOrs the evening after
the murder
Court adjourned until Monday.

POLITICAL.
The Ball in Motion in 0hie-A Large
and Enthusiastic Liberal Repub-
llean Meeting.


CINCINNATI, July 6.-The political
campaign opened here tonight by q
Liberal Republican ratification meeting
in Probasco Place. The meeting was
respectable in size and enthusiastic
Speeches were made by Cassius NJ. Clay
and General Brinkerhoff. Mr.. Clay de-
voted much of his time in an attack on
the foreign policy Of the Grant admins
tratiOn, dwelling largely on the conduct
of Grant and his advisers toward the
Russian government, and condemning
the course in the most unmistakable
terms. Mr.. Clay was listened to with
the closest attention throughout. Cen
eral Brinkerboff followed, but To greatly
diminished numbers toward the close,
the crowd having rapidly dispersed after
Mr.. Clay concluded. The most notable
feature of the evening was the decided
satisfaction with which the audience re-
ceived illusions to Mr.. Greeley.

SUPREME JUDeEsHIP.

To THE VOTERS OF WEsF TENNEs-

bar, have during the term Of the Supreme
Court just closed, witnessed the ability
and industry with which Hon. Robert
Mcfarland has discharged the duties of
q Judge Of this Court, and regard him as
possessing, in an eminent degree, the
qualities required for this place. His
election to fill the vacancy on the Su-
prene Bench, 0ccasioned by the resigna-
ton Of Hon. T. A. r. Nelson, would
give satisfaction to the bar, and to the
State, an able, industrious and upright
Judge. This much we deem it proper to
say in justice to a candidate, who is q
stranger to you, and whose constant en-
plOyment about the public business has
necessarily deprived him Of opportuni-
ties for personal contact with YOU.

EDITORS APPEAL-Just returned from
an extended trip throughout Mississippi
and portion Of South Alabama. / am
happy 70 report that crops Of all kinds

raise the spirits of the farmers through
out those regions to the utmost buoy
ancy with the prospect now before them,
bidding fair to relieve them Of old debts
this year and leave something to fall
back upon besides.
All good men are strongly for Greeley
and 1t appears a strange sight to one ae-
eustomed TO the sentiment Of this sec
tion for a long number Of years to see,
IN the very heart of Dixie, aags floating
upon the liberty poles at various towns,
bearing the inscription of "Greeley and
Brown, the peoples choice" and SINH
lar notices The Greeley sentiment
prevails as unit throughout
the country, save with few
office-hOldefs, and their kindred breth-
rem of African scent. All sensible men
seem to be strongly for indorsiBg, at the
Baltimore Convention, the Cincinnati
ticket, although not few assert that a
better choice might have been made.
Grants semi-tragic comedy of kuklux
