INTERESTING TO PLANTERS.

Dugsn's combined Plow, planter, chop
per and cultiYstor viii give q public ex-
hibition at Hopefield, Arkansas, Opposite
Memphis) tomorrow, Monday the first.
This machine has been recently invented,
and hes TeceiYed the most iatGering COM
mendations from planters wherever ex-
hibited. It's construction is simple, It's
machinery compact, itsexscution perfect,
its strength beyond the power of mules
or hands TO break it, and its work is far
superior and accurate than can be per-
formed by hand. As full description of
this machine was given In the APPEAL Of
recsnt date, we deem 1t unnecessary at
this time to give detailed account OF its
many valuable qualities to the planter,
and viii content ourselves by the simple
announcement that those who would see
this wonderful machine In operation
should visit Hopefeld on tomorrow. The
ferryb boat will leave the foot OF Union
street, and the exhibition viii take placs
on the opsn commons about fifty yards
from the landing at Hope6eld.

Every means that yIllsiBy can spawn
and infzmy hatch is now rssorted to BY
the Radicals to carry their disbolieal
schemes. To-day the civil rights bill was
again brought into the House under the
title Of an act to incorporate the Yicks-
burg and Greeaville RSilrosd Company,
After proceeding with the terms Of the
charter, the civil rights bill Is lugged in
and msde to sppIy to al railroads, wstes
craft, etc.
This being local bin day exclusively,
no thought was entertained by the DEM
Ocrats that Ruch infsmy would be intro
dUeed. The bill passed two readings by
title, and when about being referred to
the COMMITTEES q Radical, whose con-
science doubtless upbrsided him, made
an expose Of the affair, upon which the
excitement ross high snd serious conse-
qnencss doomed up. Quietuds was Anal
ly restored, and tho bill made the special
order for Monday.

Inventor and manufacturers took note
Of and duly appreciated, All, however,
were loud in praise Of this excel

rhe Tennessee National Bank OF Mem.
phis.

The congressional committee says THAT
investigation of the sffxirs OF Mr.. Hull
burd's bureau has been in progress for
nearly six weeks, and has been chiefly oo-
cupied with the transactions growing ont
of the failure of the Tennessee National
Bank, Of Memphis, an institution sppa-
rently begun In fraud and ending in ruin.
During its last critical days, and after a
damaging report by the examiner, Bull
Hulburd accepted a carriage from Rutter,
its president, and subsequently on Rut-
ter's demand gave him one hundred dol
lars to square the transaction. The prin-
cipal witness against Hulburd was Rut-
ter, whose character Is none of the best,
but who swears to liberal use of money
among the officials sent from Washington
to examine and conduct his bank, and
who said that they were obliged TO divide
with Hul5urd. Other abuses, such as
charging money for charters to national
banks, fsvorltism, and connection with
compromised subordinates are alleged"
