Everybody wanted TO know yesterday
about that trip tower the Rhine"
TIE following appeared in the Ledger
of last evening. We find room for it,
because we published in the APPEAL
Of yesterday the article of which it is a
correction: ain an article published in
the Ledger yesterday, acting on infor-
nation received from Shelby county
delegates, we stated as follows: He
Nj. Lacey became the rock upon
which the convention was abOutto split,
when his iudicious friends brought about
his withdrawal Mr. Lacey informs US
that this is an error. He notified his
personal friends in the delegation, early
on Thursday morning, that he would
Withdraw and not go into another bal
lot, and in pursuance of this settled pur-
pose he addressed the convention and
formally withdrew from the contest"
COLONEL Z. H. PAINE, one of the
principal members and Superintendent
and President of the Southern Pullman
Car Company, was in the city yesterday
on business connected with his line,
which is very justly popular throughout
the South. Elegant in alltheir appoint
ments, and "conducted'' by courteous
and polite gentlemen, the ears Of this
company grow in favor with the travel
ing public, TO whom they have become
absolute necessities. Colonel Paine, who
is as noted for his enterprise and energy
as the great Pullman himself, has q keen
eye for Improvements, and never fails TO
keep pace with the growing demands of
railroad travellers for whatever will con-
tribute to their ease and comfort. We
are glad TO know that the Southern Pull
man Car Company is a great success,
and that il promises to be so, keep
ing pace with the growth in population
and wealth of the South.
In another column we publish under
the head of marriages, in the words and
form in which we find il in the Meek

July, a notice of the marriage ON the
eighteenth Of July, at Heiligendamn,
Germany, of Charles n. Erich, of this
city, to Miss Elise Knack, of Mecklen-
burg Schiverin. The large circle OF
friends in Memphis who have learned
to know and admire Mr.. Erich will join
the APPEAL in rendering him the
warmest congratulation upon the event
of his life. The APPEAL has an especial
friendship for Mr.. Erich, because he was
an employe of this Office for the first
three years of his residencein Memphis.
His course here has won for him the
highest respect of the community, and
his successful career has only been COM
measurate with his deservings. Occu-
pying a front rank among the mer-
chants of our city, well mated, and pos
sessed of an ample fortune, he cannot
tail to be happy. That he may be is our
ardent wish. A warm welcome awaits
him and his fair bride from the Father
land here in the young city, to the
and growth of whichhe has CON
tributed no little.
