Gift of q Watch to One of the Best and
Most Modest of Gentlemen.

Our friends of the Memphis and
Charleston railway are certainly a most
appreciative people, as a class. This as
Sertion is borne out by the fact that, at
twelve O'Clock yesterday, the Office of
Major Niles Miriwether, the efficient
and excellent Chief Engineer of the
aforesaid railway, was suddenly invaded
by a numerous party of gentlemen con-
nected with the road, who presented
him with a splendid watch and chain.
The presentation speech was made by
our young friend, John B. Galloway,
and, as it is so different from the long
winded fluctuations prevalent upon such
occasions, we give it as taken down by
our representative who was present:
MAJOR MERRIwErHER-I am delegated to
submit for your critical inspection and care
full keeping the beautiful and elaborate piece
of mechanism contained in this case. Accept
it, therefore,, with assurance OF our continued
hope that, upon fnal Investigation, your es-
of life being well-timed may be found
correct and fully approved.
Major Merriwether thanked the
donors for their kindness, and with
much emotion excused himself from re-
plying at length, saying that he was too
completely and pleasantly surprised to
give utteranee to language suitable to
the occasion.
The watch and chain, with an elegant
stone locket attached, were ordered
some time since by Nh. George A. Pres
ton, of the Charleston road, through
c. Byrd, jeweller, of this city, and
are the most costly and elaborate that
could be had. The engraving on the
case was done by Mr.. Horace Briggs,
of the same firm, who, judging from this
specimen Of his work, is one of the best
engravers in the South. We indorse
the action of our friends on this occa-
sion, as there is no more deserving and
upright gentleman than Major Niles
Merriwether.

POLITICAL.
Nominate CHE Legislative Candidates
Let ms Know Who they

EDITORS APPEAL@There seems to be
little opposition to the suggestion two
days since of nominating the Legisla-
tive candidates at the June convention,
and what there is doubtless arises from
want of having given the subject due
consideration.
1t is difficult TO understand how any
one who sincerely desires the success of
the Democratic nominees for county
offices, could fail to favor it. Candor in
all things is right, and preferable in a
question under discussion like the pres
ent; among friends and eo-workers in a
common cause, it is vitality essential to
the entertainment of truth.
With the present tendency to a weak
ening of strict party lines everywhere,
a Ia Cincinnati COnventiOn-unless v
~ legitimate party means is resorted to
for the purpose of rallying the DemOc-
racy of Shelby county at the August
election, on account of the personal
strength of some of the opposition can
didates, a portion, if not the entire ticket
which will be put forth by the June
convention for c0unty officers. will be in
imminent danger of defeat, ana UlIat, no
matter how personally unobjectionable
our candidates, and Notwithstanding our
supposed large majority in the county.
Politics out, and our ticket-at least a
portion of it's gone; politics in, good
and strong; and every man is safe by a
round majority.
BY nominating your Legislative candi-
dates, you make the entire ticket, par
excellence, DEMOCRATIC, enlist every
candidate, and his friends, for every
other candidate; and thus, by making
every man who processes to be a Demo
crat, and not a Radical, show his hand
that way, you bring the entire party
strength out for the county candidates,
every one of them. And their elections
secured by such an overwhelming ma
jority as would be thus insured to them,
the fall elections would be comparative
ly easy.
By falling to bring political promi-
nence entO the August election, you
close the lips of your political legisla-
tive candidates, who are supposed to
sound the rallying partizan blasts; leave
the siren whisper of "No party" to do
its mischievous work undisturbed; and
you will lose your Sheriff and one or two
other county officers, and givethe coun-
ty to the enemy in the fall.
PRACTICAL.

An Account cuErent that only Teiis

H
We are permitted, by the venerable
and hOnOred citizen whose name IS ap-
pended to the following statement, to
give it publicity, IN order that Our city,
county, State and Federal Legislators
may realize, from figures which do not
lie, the burden they have imposed upon
the people. The statement appended is,
all fair-minded men must admit, a very
sorry one. 10 viii not strike the capt.
talists of other parts of the Union
with favor, and yet its publication
is essential 70 an object the APPEAL has
in view as the exponent Of the will Of
this people, viz: the reduction Of taxes
and the practice Of rigid economy in
government. Later-day friends Of the
present city government will we know
attempt to raise an outcry that facts
like these in print are ruinOus to the
credit Of the city and hurtfGls Of its
status. Well, what If it *? Is the
truth to he kept back and the people to
be ground TO powder Ivy an overload of
taxation, and now word to be uttered in
their behalf, because it may possibly
hurta city administration that would be
successful by increase of the peo-
pies burdens and an odiOus sys-
tenn of espionage? We think
not, and so thinking give space to the
figures and comments of the oldest eiti-
zen of Memphis, a gentleman who has
long been identified with its tax-paying
interests. We yesterday gave our bank

THE MATHUsHEK PIANOS are Sc
curing the warmest encomiums from all
who are so fortunate as to possess them.
They are acknowledged, by the best
judges of music, to be superior to any
other kind of Pianos now in use, and all
philosophical and unbiased minds who
have examined the equalizingscale con-
cede that it must forever prevent the
instrument from yielding a particle to
the immense tension of the strings, as
well as secure perfect protection against
the settling of the sounding board, the
lOOsening of the tuning pins, or the
breaking away of the w~rest-plank, and
therefore that the original volume of
tone must ever remain with the instru-
ment, instead of gradually fading out,
as has been the case with the tone of all
other Pianos. 1t is the peculiar pride of
the manufacturer that at last he can of
fer to the public a Piano so constructed
as that it viii live and improve like the
Violin, and be handed down from one
generation to another, the loved relic of
the household, improving In tone and
becoming more and more valuable by
