dence before him that he is being robbed
he is not going to take the thief to his bo-
som, merely because the evidence of his
theft has been furnished by some one with
whom he differs politically, but he will go
to work to prevent further depredations and
punish the thief. We cannot believe the
people of the whole state are going to re-
verse this principle and yield support to
the ring that has plundered the public
treasury and well nigh bankrupted the
state, merely because the thieves have
been first exposed by party now in the
minority. We have too much respect, for
Tennesseans to suppose for an instant, that
they will become party to theirown robbie
ry. We do not suppose then will submit to
it. But is it high time they, were becoming
aroused on the subject. They should de-
mand of these ring candidates to know
where the money has gone. They should
demand information as to who are the
thieves. They should demand toknow how
far Gov. Brown is responsible for this loss
of public property, and what relation he
sustains to the ring that has plundered the
treasury. These are matters in which the
people are interested and we trust that they
will become aroused far enough to stand up
for their rights. Letthem awaken to their
vital interests. We do not care how it is
done, or who they select for their leader.
One thing is very certain the people of
Tennessee are in no condition to stand
many years of corruption such as we have
witnessed under Gov. Browns administra-

A MOST important judicial decision is
synopsized by a contemporary. A rail-
road in Illinois established discrimin-
ating rates in relation to local business
Parties injured by such a course COM
menced a suit TO forfeit the charter of
the offending company, because it had
violated an act Of the Legislature pro-
hibiting such rates. On the trial the
facts were admitted, and in defense the
railroad company pleaded the inviolabil-
ity Of its charter, and also that the act
Of the Legislature, attempting to regu-
late its charges for freight, was uncon-
stiUutionaL. Judge Upton decided that
the law was constitutional, holding that
the people in creating corporations had
not parted with the sovereign right, in
herent in all governments, to protect
themselves from abuses, extortions or
unjust determinations on the part of
corporations Of their own creation. The
case 10Y goes to a higher court. The
company claim for their support that
the charter granted by the State for the
railroad is a contract between the State
and the company; that under that con-
tract the company is authorized 10 fix
its W rates Of freight and passenger
fare, and that the State cannot by sub
sequent legislation undertake to pre-
scribe the rates TO be charged by the
company, the Federal Constitution pro-
hibiting the States from passing any
laws impairing the obligation OF POM
tracts. The issue in the case is plain
and easily understood, and the people in
all parts of the nation viii watch this
case with intense interest.

WITHIN the past few years the value
Of the newspaper press as an advertising
medium has come TO be very generally
recognized, and the manner Of adver-
Using has been reduced to- science. The
most prominently successful advertisers,
in thus endeavoring to gain the public
ear, give the subject the benefit Of all
the discretion and caution that they can
bringtO bear in herdepartments Of bus
iness. In selecting a newspaper, through
which to reach the public, they take in
to consideration not only the extent OF
circulation, but the character Of that
circulation, and the influence and repu-
tatioh Of the paper itself. This method
Of advertising is j~udicious and remera-
tive. The APPEAL combines all the ele-
ments necessary to commend Il to
business men and Others as an advertis-
ing medium. In thisrespect, it is second
TO no other journal in the Southern
Valley Of the Mississippi.

HORRIBLE STORY.
Two Men Crushed to Death Beneath a
Huge Rock.

A dreadful accident occurred in Prov
idence, Rhode Island, Saturday. Two
men, named Smith and Drew, were
employed in Johnston as wood-ehop-
pers. Last Saturday was a cold, blowy
day, and the men, while at work, kept
up a hot fire under a large Overhanging
rock. By keeping a brisk fire they
warmed the rock itself, and thus, by ra-
diatOn, secured a really warm place.
After work, as it is supposed, they went
TO the fire to warm themselves and have
a smoke before going home. While
they were seated there, the rock cracked
and fell yer on them, and they were
found under il Monday. Smith was ev-
identity killed on the instant, but Drew
had struggled to free himself. He had
reached his axe and chopped his own
foot off, but his body wa still held fast,
aud after vain efforts to get away he
had ended his struggles by cutting his
own throat with an axe. The rock was
probably as hot as il was heavy, and
the suderings of the poor man must
have been beyond description. Smith,
the one first killed, had been in the
army at various times, had both legs
and three ribs broken, and had a bullet
in his body. He vas thrown out of en-
in Boston by the fire, and
seems all his life to have been one Of
misfOrtune's victims. The whole story
is a horrible as can well be imagined.

A New Workers. Opinion Of the White,
Red. Yellow and Black Legislators.

The following doleful statement of
matters in the Palmetto State, is from
a correspondent of the New York World:
Columbia is again filled with the hon.
orables-God save the MARYLAND white,
red, yellow and black Legislators are to
be seen on every hand. Scott, the re-
firing Governor, has been too i'll to in
stall his successor, the sanity Moses,
and the lawmakers of this thoroughly
Africanized State have spent the week
lO2ing around promiscuously. Dark
cOlors being fashionable in winter,
everything here may be considered in
the hight of the fashion. The President
Of the Senate is a negro; twO-thirds of
the members of both Houses are negrOes;
the chairman of nearly every important
committee is a negro; dOOr-keep-
ers, messengers and all other
attaches are negroes; the Clerk of
Governor is a negro Convict in the Uni
ted States Court; the State Treasurer,
and in fact all the State officials except
two, are negroes; the members of Con-
gress are all negroes except one, and the
few whites associated with this ignorant
and degraded black crew look meaner

Endorsement of this verdict from any
impartial and intelligent lOOkers-on.
Judge MeltOn's Injunction may not be
