RIPLEY, MISSISSIPPI.
The NarrOW-Gauge Railroad The APP
peal-The Town and its People.


From an Occasional Correspondence
RIPLEY, August 3O.-NOw, since the
completion of the narrow-gauge road
from Middleton, Tennessee, on the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad to this
place, Ripley has become a close neigh
Dor OF Memphis, and as the people of
this place give the great APPEAL the
greatest amount of praise and credit for
the part. she always took in the further
ance of their fOndest hopes and aspira-
completion of said road-we
think a brief notice of this county, their
road, Ripley, her merchants, her men,
and, first of all, her ladies, will be of in
terest TO all Of your readers. Heretofore
Ripley has been cut off from the world
by being in the interior where she could
only be reached by a long and fatiguing
travel on the style oftwenty years ago
the stage coach, wagon Or private con-
VeyaDces. And as she was completely
burned and demolished by vandal hands
during the rebellion, there having been
over forty houses on fire at n time. II
has had much to contend with to keen
pace with her sister towns, which had
the benefit ofall modern travel and con-
~venienees, yet through the untiring en-
ergy of her people she has been trudpiup
paying at the rate oftwenty cents
a mile TO ride in an old tumble-bundlel
coach, drawn over rough roads by faded
and slow horses, three dollars per barrel
for -four from their nearest DEPOT: and.
oh! think OF fit, only for one minute, YOU
who have been consoling yourselves
and your stOmachs with your frozen
and polar sodas, your cobblers,
lemOnades, melons, and i~ce-teas during
the last long heated term, that until now
there had not been seen in
RIPLEY A LUMP OF ICE
N ten years. Think of what a state of
sxtacies the little folk were in on their
grand gala day yesterday-the celebra-
ion of the completion of their narrow
gauge road, the first ever run in the
great South, when after the iron-horse
steamed through the streets and a great
'%oncourse of five thousand souls, draw
ng its long train freighted with anxious
from along the line. Irepeat,

GENERAL GRANT received 644o ma
jority in Rhode Island. At the late
election PADKLFoRD, the Radical can.
didate for Governor, was urged upon
the GRANT platform, and his majority
was ll57, while the Radical candidate
for Lieutenant Governor is defeated.
This shows marvellous decline in the
popularity Of General GRANT, in a small
State, which can readily be covered
with his ofticeholders. No State has
vet voted in which there has not been a
most marked and damaging reduction
IN the GRANT majority. This was the
case in New Hampshire, in Connecticut
and in Rhode Island. Yet General
GRANT will be forced upon the party by
the Bread and Butter Brigade, and
the people asked to elect him.

GRANTS GATLING Gun CAM
PAIGN.

The adherents Of GRANT are COM
mencing the Campaign with unprece-
denied vigor in sone parts OF the coun
try, and are developing their tactics
early, with the evident intention Of
being well trained IN acts OF violence
in time for the tall election. \ few
lays ago Radical meeting was held
at Dubuque, Iowa, at which MIR.
BLocKLINGER, amin tluential German
citizen, protested against the introduce
ton of GRANTS name as a candidate
for denomination, and made a motion
that the delegates to the approaching
Radical Convention should be instruct
ed to vote against him. For this act OF
temeritv he was at once set upon by
the crowd of ofliceholders, and with
great violence hustled out Of the meet.
ing and his life threatened. 1t was
with the utmost difficulty that he es-
caped from their clutches. This ls
rather early IN the campaign to COM
mepce their tactics of violence, and 1t
is Just possible that they may overdo
the matter before the election comes
on. Mr.. BLocKLINGER expressed the
views Of great majority of his country
men, and they we'll know how to re-
sent such an outrage from man who
seeks to re-elect himself by means oil
Calling guns and slung shot.

In the Constitutional Convention on
Saturday morning, March 80, the re-
port Of the Committee on Miscellaneous
Provisions being under consideration
Mr.. Wilson offered the following, as
an indepen dent section:
1.-THE Legislature shall provide for
submitting to popular vote, at the gen.
eral election to be held in 1874, the pro
priety of adopting a scheme of proper
ttional representation in the Legislative
department of this State, or either
branch thereof; and if majority OF
the votes cast a: said election be in
favor of such scheme, the Legislature
shall have authority at its next session
thereafter, to re-disirict the State, and
provide for putting into practical
operation such o plan OF proportional
representation, as may be deemed most
expedient.
Mr.. Faulkner moved to amend by
striking from Mr.. Wilson's proposition
1874" and inserting 1876.
Mr.. Pate moved the indefinite post

Mr.. Gallaher called for the previous
question, and it was ordered.

bled by invitation at the commodious resi-

the occasion was pleasant one, and that
all enj Dyed themselves. A heavy rain.
storm in the evening prevented many at
tending, but nearly one hundred assembled
and all went ''merry as q marriage bel"
At the proper time Mr.. Wells and lady
were arraigned like culprits before the bar,

effect that numerous friends desiring to
attest their admiration, had purchased,
