But it ignoaltaiously 'fanedn Not a
solitary victory was won under the new

now that the new departure having

accused Of Inconsistency, because, for

6LbIeAME LUCIA. -- =
Mccormick, the "reaper-man," re-
Gently appropriated forty thousand dol
lars to the endowment of a Pres
byterian college profesOrship. He
has given away vast sums, and
is enormously rich, his wealth the
product of his inventive genius. Not
many days ago an interest in the Gala
han printing telegraph machine, such as
merchants of Memphis have in their
offices, was Offered at six thousand dol
lars. 1t has since been sold for half a
million dollars. The original capital of
the company which now owns the little
instrument was two hundred thousand
dollars. It is now two and a half mil
lions of dollars, and cannot be bought
at par. There is no reason why the Du-
gan Planter and Cultivator, OF the
Rembert Plantation Compress, and
other "undeveloped" inventions of
this city, should not prove quite
as profitable as McCoFmiek's reaper or
Callahan's indicator. The 'tforemaniz-
ingp process 10 which railway companies
everywhere subject erossties and bridge
timbers, and which renders the Nicol-
son pavement the "best in the world
remedying its only defect-the absence
of durability-these several inventions
and discoveries, through the agency of
the Inventors Aid Association, win not
only enrich inventors and the assoeia-
ton, but the country's fortunes viii be
promoted. No sooner will the Planta-
ton Compress be introduced into COM
mon use, than a mandatory, devoted
exclusively to the production of these
simple, eyer-endurihg machines, must
be established. The city and
its whole population are, there
fore, directly interested in the
success of the association. Its share
holders, while mourning trifing risks of
trifiing sums, contemplate probabilities
of startling luck, such as has blest Me-
Cormick, and Callahan, and Howe, and
thousands VINO have derived
great wealth from the perfection and
immediate Introduction TO popular favor
of the cheapest and simplest meehani-
cal co~ntriyances. 1t is curi0usly true
that the man who inyents is commonly
incapable Of making or selling. Ifthere
were no other fatal difficulty, the in
ventor is generally poverty-strieken.
In fact poverty is the chiefest
stimulant TO inventive genius. There
fore the wisdom of this organization
through which small sums, contributed
by many individuals, enable the ~assOci-
alton to own, perfect, and p~opularize
patented inventions and discoveries.
The subscription books of the assOcia-
ton are now in the hands of its agents
and there should be one hundred thou
sand dollars subscribed during the week.

Four Millions nine hundred and

ofit Willie wasted on parasites of the

to deep water through the Balize. 1t
would dig a ship canal around Niagara,
and send the wealth of the West down

have it pass through the negro-governed

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is Due.

ONO TO WHOM HONOR Is Due.
The handsome, clear cut type which
makes up the new dress of the APPEAL,
and which We are glad to know was yes
terday highly complimented by our sub
/ scribers and advertisers, was manufac-
tured at the foundry of Allison, Smith &
johnson, of Cincinnati, a firm thatstsnds
high amongthe best for commercialprob-
ity, and whose affairs have always been
conducted in q way to win upon and Sc
cure the patronage and good will of the
printers and publishers of the Mississip-
pi Valley. Their types are up to the best
standards of this country or Europe, and
embrace every known style or design;
besides this they have and always keep
on hand a large assortment of every
description Of furniture and mate
rial such as is necessary in book
and job as wen as newspaper
offices. This firm, whose business has
grown to immense proportions, keeping
pace with the newspaper growth of the
central portion of the continent, aud
which is in no sense inferior to any OF
the type-making houses of the East, is
largely indebted to Mr.. Allison, the
senior of the firm, for the position it oc-
euples and the business it has succeeded
to. Thoroughly an Jait in all that con-
Germs the printing profession, he
Unites to the suavity of q heightened
gentleman the a~lertness and quickness
Of the American business man. Many
years Of dealings with Mr.. Allison en-
ables US thus 10 bear testimony 10 his
character. We embrace the oppor-
tumity offered by the assumption Of our
new dress to do 50, and extend to him.
Our thanks for the promptness and at
tenton which has always distinguished
him in his intercourse with US. We refer
our readers and our friends ofthe country
press to our new dress as offering a fair
sample of the work Of Allison, Smith &
JohnsOn's type-foundry.

We are likely soon to have crisis in
Arkansas matters. The declaration of
the State vote is expected to create a
disturbance, as the impression has
already gone out that the oanvassing
board have resolved to count in the
Clayton candidate. Senator Rice tried
to get some attention directed to his
resolution of inquiry in the Senate, but
only suoceeded in making O Jew state
ments which throw light on the subject.
The most fagrant outrages were perpe.
trated upon the voters of Arkansas. in
the expectation that the exclusion Of
10000 OF them from tho polls would
elect the Clayton candidates; and when
that was not sufficient for the end de.
sired, precincts were thrown out until
enough OF the liberal vote is cancelled to
insure the triumph Of the Clayt6n ring.
We shall sec another Louisiana in
Arkansas. if this nefarious scheme is
persisted in to the end.

HE ARKANSAS TROUBLE "A delegation
from Arkansas, accompanied by Senator

the 21st. for the purpose OF asoertainine
what would be the policy of the Govern
ment in it's use OF troops in case troubles
should arise in the inauguration of the
Governor there on the 9th of January
next. It will be remembered that both
parties claim the election. The Repub
llcans, by throwing out the votes OF five
Counties. claim a majority of 5000 on
the whole State ticket, while concedinc
she election OF the Liberal Congressman
at large. On the other hand the Libe-
rails, counting the votes of the discarded
Counties, make showing which gives
them majority OF a few thousand on
the State ticket. They claim that par
ticniar pains wore taken to have fair
election in these disputed Counties, aud
that the same was conducted strictly in
accordance with the provisions of law.
In reply to the delegation, the Attor
ney. General said the President would
sustain the majority, and that Federal
troops would only be used to preserve
peace and order, or, if necessary, to en-.
force the DEGREES of the United States
Courts. 1t may be stated that the dis
