SACRIFICED IN A BAD CAUSE,

For no man in the Republican party
have We heartier personal respect than
for Honorable Henry Wilson. and his
nomination to the Vice Presidency is
a fitting reward for honest and patri-
otto services to the country, no less
than for his devotion to the party
whose d~rudgerv he performed without
stint or complaint. If the Philadel-
phia Convention had put Mr.. Wilson
at the head OF its ticket, where his char
acter, talents and influence would
make themselves felt in the admins
tration and upon the country, the Gin
ciunati movement would have lost its
meaning and impetus. But that Con
vention insulted from a third to a half
of the Republicans of the country, by
renomiinating Grant; and his re cleo
ton will be the national approval Of
the pations, the corruptions and
crimes of the present Administration,
and their continuance for another
term. Mr.. Wilson will have no more
power to shape the policy of the gov
eminent and prevent abuses than Mr..
CoIfax has had. He will be merely a
lay figure in the government, without
patronage and consequently without
influence. All his fine phrases in
accepting the nomination., his generous
sentiments, his rehearsal of the Gin
cinnati platform as though it We're his
composition, are destitute of signifi
canoe and are merely rhetorical chaff
to catch voters with. The fact that he
favors the abolition of the Thanking
nuisance. a civil service, and honest
government generally, is of not the
least consequence Whatever. in the face
of the fact that the Republican Ad-
ministration it proposed o continue
in power has steadily refused to
the Thanking privilege, practi
cally killed civil service reform, and
been guilty of more corruption than
the worst administration we ever had.
We are sorry for Mr.. Wilson, who de-
a better fate than to be sacri-
in such a bad cause.

OUR FUNERAL.

The Radical party, "the party of
great n oral ideas" is terribly exercised
regarding the welfare of the Democ
racy. For years they have carried on
4 bitter and unrelenting warfare
against us, have gloried in our defeat
and supposed decease, have tried in
every way to cause the political death
of u party, and yet now are bewail-
ing what they are pleased to term our
prospective suicide. Really, these lit
tie evidences of regard from our for
ner foe, are touching. Democrats had
10 idea that their political demise
would so affect their opponents.
Through their journals, We are recelv-
ing a regular forty days and nights
deluge of good advice, rendered with
the feeling and emotion with which
some venerable but idiotic patriarch
might advise a hayward child. Now
if the Democracy are so determined
upon rushing to their own destruction,
the Radicals had better let them alone.
The funeral is one of our own, and
when the corpse is fully ready and
swathed in its burial robes, we will
give an invitation to its former and
present foes, and grant them the posi-
ton of chief mourners. But until the
time fully arrives, We can do very
we'll withoutthes so kindly given advice
of the great "black and white" organ
ization. Ifthe Democracy kills itself,
Grant and his followers canno. be ar
raigued for murder.

Some idea of the immense influx oil
people from. the United States to Eu
rope this season may be had from the
fact that the mail steamers of the
Hamburg line take from New York,
on an. average, 225 cabin passengers on
each trip. On their voyages from
Hamburg to New York they aaary in
all between eight hundred and one
thousand passengers. Two vessels of
this line leave New York every week.
The whole number of cabin passen-
gers who have left this season for Eu-
rope is estimated at I'VE ffty-fve
thousand.

During the recent strike in New
York, 40. 600 men discontinued work.
The wages of carpenters, cabinet
makers. and common iaberers aver
aged SlS per week each. Assuming
thai 90. 900 of these men have each last
four weeks pay, We have the follow
ing startling financial result Of the
strike: S36e,oOO per week equals ST.
40. 900 for 4 weeks. This is what has
been thrown away. 1t is so much
money abstraeted from the years in
come of these men. Had one half Of
it been boarded, it would have enabled
the larger portion of these same men
to have united. and become their OWN
employers, receiving the whole pro
duct of the capital and labor employed
in their respective shops.

THE CHOLERA.

1t has been asserted by sensationalists,
in New York, that a visit from the
Cholera, was among the probabilities
this Summer. DiIigent inquirya and care
full examination of homeand foreign files
of newspapers enables us to assure our
readers that there is no foundation for
a rumOr that is calculated TO give rise to
much apprehension and increase the
rates Of life insurance in all the larger
cities of the country, Investigations
made by learned commissioners APP
pointed by the leading governments of
Europe, have settled the question of the
locality and the means and territory by
which and over which this disease is
%propagated and passes. OF Eastern ORR
gin, the result of filthy habits, of reck-
less disregard of the commonest and
plainest rules Of health; ~emanating
from the herds of human beasts who in
vast droves make a yearly pilgrimage to
the shrines of representatives OF religi-
Gus ideas, it for a long time passed from
from the Levant to the principal ports of
Europe and of this country, spreading
over both continents, carrying death
and dismay to every household. Quar-
antines, rigorous and exacting, and sys-
TENS of cure based upon experience and
the most careful study, were for a time
aImort useless as means of staying the
march of the dreadful pestilence. By
tracing its progress back from point
to point its source was, however, dis
covered, andupon an appeal being made
to the Turkish government, a deter
mined and successful effort was made to
enforce proper sanitary regulations
among the bowling d~evotees, and the
result is that we do not anylOnger hear of
the cholera. European papers are silent
as to it because it does not exist there,
or in our country, nor auyof the dis
eases which usually presage its coming.
is, therefore, no occasion for ap-
.prehension as to the cholera. Extir-
pated where heretofore it originated and
propagated, it does not exist, and is,
let US hope, dead forever.

Crops, Farms, Dogs and Multa Ala.

TIProN COUNTY, Tenn. May %, 1877.
EDITORS APREALzAs you have fire.
quently solicited correspondence from
the rural districts, 1 will endeavor to
give you some items in regard to the
prospects of the crops in our county,
and also to give some other local mat
tiers.
Whilst in Fayette county, southeast
of us, the heart of the farmer has been
made glad by refreshing showers falling
upon his fields of corn and cotton, the
farming community in this section are
suffering badly for rain, which is SO es-
sentiaI to the nourishment Of the young
and tender plants. Much of the cotton
seed planted, particularly on high lands,
is yet lying dormant, the earth being so
dry as not to afford moisture enough
even to cause the seed to sprOut; whilst
in bottom or low lands only a partial
''standn has been obtained in many
places. Unless we have ainsOOn our cot
ton crop will be materially lessenedfrom
that of previous years. The corn crop
is suffering also very much. Corn
planted three weeks ago on uplands
remains still in the soil without ger
minating, which causes many of our
farmers to feel a little 'tblue'' on that
account. The wheat crop, what little
there is of 1t, looks fine, and promises
and abundant yield to the breadth OF
land in cultivation, Oats are suflerlngI
and will be almost a total failure unless
we have rain o Thre are loud COM
plants, too, from our "better halves"
who, in the country, generally have the
management of the gardens and r
natches'i-tbe earth too dry.to "set OUT
cabbage plants and potato slips-thus
creating apprehensions that these i'm
portaut and useful vegetables will be
found lacking after q while in the cult
nary department. But, Notwithstanding
the present edry SPELL" the soil Of our
county Is so fertile that we may yet
reasonably hope for a good yield of the
different crops, If we can have a good
season of rain at an early day.
Covington is looking up, now that the
completion Of the Memphis and Paducah
railroad is SO soon promised. We shall
hail that important event with rapturous
delight, for we feel that we have been
living in the "baekwOods" long enough,
and your country cotsins are all anx-
iOusly waiting to have an opportunity TO
take a ride behind the iron horse into
your city, and see the sights of the great
metropolis of our State.
While your city, a short time since,
had the meningitis excitement, Coying-
ton now comes in for her maddox eX-
.citement. A few days since a rabid dog
from the country made a raid through
town, and bit several hogs and dogs in
his course. From here he sailed forth
into the country again and attacked
everything in his way, thus sowing
broadcast the seeds of hydrophobia, from
which we may expect soon to see a full
crop of mad-dogs springing. Our city
fathers, in consequence, have passed a
stringent dog ordinance, and unless It's
provisions are complied with many a
''purp'' will bite the dust. R.

REFORM.
. Practical Suggestion =" PrimarJ
Meetings" the Place for
"RefOrmers."

EDITORS APPEAL-It is, as it should
be, a source of sincere congratulation,
that the people have at last begun &c
move in the great work of reform,
which, if followed up as it has been
commenced, and all prudent and prop
er means adopted and used, our county,
city and State viii, ere long, be rid Of
corrupt, imbecile and inefficient officers,
the oppressive burdens consequent upon
defective laws greatly lessened, little,
blatant, pSt-house politicians consigned
to their proper resting-places. Resolu-
lions, however good and expressive,
will not alone effect reform, but earnest,
industrious action will secure it.
Let those who i~naugurated this move
ment, together with the good citizens Of
all classes and conditions, taxpayers as
well as non-tax-payers, attend the ward
and district primary meetings, now
soon to be held, and when they go there,
not sit passive, thus allowing the noisy,
offieious wire-workers to stife and
smother the voice and choice of the peo-
pie, but work and, if needs be, speak
and talk, and make their influence felt
and respected, remembering that at
those primary meetings the dele
gates to the County Convention
are appointed, and they nominate

Work Progressing Surely
and Steadily.

DENMARK, May 2, 1872.
EDITORS APPEAL-Nithout eircumlo-
cution, or "walking high and wide,n ]
wish to give to the friends of this enter
prise some plain statements Of facts foI
encouragement.
The little city of Jackson, with the
assistance of Denmark and west Madi-
son county, have a bona fde, reliable
subscription to this road of n hundred
and five thousand dollars, with a con-
stantly increasing subscription, which
they intend to run up to one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars more. In
deed, our Jackson and Madison county
friends are determined the road shall be
built. Hardeman county has twenty
five thousand dollars of unconditional
subscription to this road, and can and
will increase it to fifty thousand dollars
if necessary. Fayette county, along
what is called the northern route, is
more solicitous for this road than any
other people, and are subscribing lib
orally, and will subscribe an ample
amount to build it through Fayette
county.
The commissioners are making nc
useless and unnecessary surveys. They
are not spending the peoples money,
but are outstanding the resources to
build the road. ]. NJ.

D.. H. Elliott, the Southern Agent of
the Kansas Pacific road, is exceedingly
anxious to have the Memphisand Little
Rock road extended through Fort Smith
to the point Of intersection with Kansas
and Galveston lines passing south
through the Indian Territory. When
the Fort Smith and Memphis road is
extended to Fort Gibson, the whole
travel Of the Gulf States to-
ward the western ocean, and
the reiuent tide of wealth and
travel toward the East, will pass
through Memphis. While talking of
reform in local, State and Federal poll
tics, let us not forget that railroads alone
make populations dense and cities rich.
Give a city cheap food and fuel, and
people gather about the spot, and man
%ufactories spring into vigorous life, like
Roman legions when Pompey stamped
his foot. Railways, in the present con-
dition of the world and Of its commerce,
are the only agencies that can relieve
the people Of burdens fastened on them
by thieves and adventures.
