call on Saturday.
j. A. Moore. travelling agent
for DIR. Anderson, the noted horse

supply of melons and green apples,
the best in the market, at his res
taurant.
Smith r. Gum, for many years
resident ofthis place, is, in COM
pany with hrs wife and daughter,
visiting friends in this section.
California seems to agree with him,
as he has renewed his age, ten years,

Harvesting IS nearly finished

kct lively, some Of which is being
contracted Cor $1.00 per bushel.
1t is all No. 1, and some lots 90 to
the figures Of slxty-one pounds to
the bushel. Farmers have no cause
for complaint this season as to yield,
quality, or price.
We are panied to record the
death Of VIM. Nc Cray, father of
Carlos McCray, who died very sud-
denly, ofapoplexy, at his residence
on Monday, at ten a. NJ. lie was
enjoying his usual health fifteen
minutes before his death. This is a
sad blow to his friends and the en-.

Congregational house at 2P.M.
Our farmers are building more

With an abundant harvest and fair
prices for their products they IRE
enabled to ''brush up" their prem

The New Russia Proxinca.

KHIvA is now virtually Russian province
Inc hhan has formally declared himself va4-
sal OF Ru.Aia, and the Russians are to assist him
IN governing his country. This puts the whole
population Uf another large section Of Asia un-
der the Gar, in addition to those he alreadv
rules In that country. In the Khanate of Khiva
are three great nlticsab'A divisons-Usbeks
IadJtcks and Perslans. The former number 10
tile coionized portion of the KtIanate is esti.
mated at one hundred thousand, living mostly
In the southern and central districts. A a rule.
they prefer agriculture TO trade, are hardy, and
take pride in forming the principal contingent
Of the Khivess forces. The Tadjlks, intellect
uilly the superiors Of the Usheks, are race OF
1ndio-P -Pesian origin. The Persians, who are
ether slaves or freedmen, or the descendants Of
slaves or freedmens are supposed to be forty
thousand strong, and form the m ut industrious
portion Of the population. In addition to theae
are few Arabs and Jews, and nomed tribe
Of Afghan extraction, called the Yamchids.
living In extreme poverty near Kunya Urgen-
dish, Margit XII iptchak. Drawing the sum total
we have about 240, 900 for the sedentary popu-
lAtion, and hardly more than 100000 nomada
making in all about $40 900. Ofcourse. all the
Persian slaves will be liberated and permitted
to return TO their native land fthey desire 10 do
SO. But it is not so much the inhabitants of
khIva asits position in relation TO Afghanistan.
Beitish India, Persia and turkey that makes its
capture by Russia an event of the ace. Upon
this province Russia can collect her forces, and
then strike England through AGghanisIan, or
Turkey through Persia. It is a most important
strategic point, and in acquiring it Russia has
outgeneraled England in the most apparent
manner.

and that it openly boasts of its power and
determination to work against your city
on every possible occasion. a Memphis
gentleman informs me that no traveller
for a commercial house in the
Bluff City ever thinks of doing
anything along that road, the freight
discrimination is so well established and
so flagrant. The great corporation that
has its headquarters at Louisville, is
also complained of in this connection,
though the principal traffic of the road is
between Memphis and Louisville, and
long stretch OF the cOmpany's property
lies within the limits OF the State. Now,
if all these complaints and accusations
be true, let them be substantiated by
statements of facts from your business
men and those Whosuffer. Railroads are
not Overshadowing corporations Of such
gigantic power that tie State has lost its
ability TO deal with them. Let those
evils be established by succinct state
ments, BY evidence, by examples of the
evils complained Of, and the Legislature
here which is the only true, earnest and
meritoriOus one, etc, Will not fail to take
held of il and work out a remedy. Mr.
Coulter's bill has already created q sort
Of breeze that shows it is not in
tended to be a dead letter. The
difficulty about such things is the
power that is already srrayed TO defeat
any reform. No doubt the railroad
will combine to defeat any bill that is
calculated to restrict their wayward
power, and compel them to do justice
contrary to their preconeeived notions of
how the "thing ought to be done" but
il the evil is as great as is complained of
by merchants, let them not be idle and
afterwa-d sink again into the slough of
despond, cursing their fate. It appears
to me that this is an important move.
1t is the first one since the " Divorce
Bill'' that creates alarm. Let the ami
mails be stirred up.
