they will find more profitable employment.

ANOTHER STATE BASXRurT.--Another illus
tration Of the beauties of carpet-baggery, which
President Grant is trying to faston the people
Of Louisiana by the bayonct, comes from North
Carolina. Tho State is the verge Of bank
ruptcy, in consequence Of the robberies by the
Legislature during the reconstruction era. The
debt is $50, ,GSl ,i67, while the entire valuations
Of real and personal property for the ycnr end
Ing September 30, 1872, was but Sl23, ,5OT, ,G2S
In other words, the people could pay the debt
only by giving mp To the State a third of all they
are worth. This huge burden piled up
without the consent of the propcrty y-owners.--
The carpet-bag thieves and irresponsible negroes,
under the protection of the Federal .idministra
ton, took possession Of the Legislature and
passed job after job in favor of the lobbyists,
voting the money Of the people deliberately into
their own pockets and those of their fellow con-
spirators. The Radical railway ring in the Leg
islature Of 1868 swindled the State TO the tune
Of $l6,OOO,OO0. Its paymaster, George W..
Sweepson, swesrs that the members OK the Leg
isature received S2il 900 in bribcs during The
session. The consequence of this misrulc is that
the State cannot pay its debts, aud even the
Republican leaders arc advocating repudin,ion.

The Chrystal Fountain which DR.. Heinitish
has put up in his Model Drug Store, s quite at
tractive and interesting, both for its beauty and
its puE1ling novelty, and we'll worth call TO see
This Fountain is made of strong flint glass tubes,
which are bent to represent sprays of water
Through these tubes are forced drops of water
by compressed air. Hundreds Of these drops of
water are in constant motion ascending and de-
seending. The apparatus that operates the
Fountain consists of n small cylinder and an
air pump, which are enclosed in n highly finish
cd cabinet case, keeps il in constant play by a
stroke Of the air pump at stated intervals The
arrangement is an ingenius one, and quite Gu

A MYSTERIOUS ,..-.. .A.,...s.-Tbe city OF
Greenville, C., is excited over the sudden
disappearance of a man By the name Of Berry,
from Haywood County, N. c. 1t seems that
Mr. Berry came into the city, on Friday or Sat-
urday last, driving wagon loaded with -four.
He did not readily dispose Of his entire load, J.,
and was detained in consequence, until Monday
last, when he had closed out his load and re-
ceiVed the money therefor lie cncamped on
Monday night, on his way hcre i'm the fork o'
Buncombe and Rutherford streets, expecting the
next morning to go on his journey home. On
Monday morning gentleman in whose store
the missing man had been Saturday night, went
to his place OF encampment and found the mules
tied up, but there was no trace of the owner. -
His yest was found with cut on the breast of
the garment, but no other sign or trnce could be
seen. dilligent but unavailing search has
been made; and it is probable that The unfortu-
nate peddler has been murdered.

THE MAYORALTY.

We publish in another part of this
issue a handbill now in circulation
which indicates that whether the press
will or not, the municipal canvass will
not be allowed TO flow in a smooth and
unrufiled current. Many somebodies
over the signature Of "Many Republic
cans" in this document have given
earnest of a resolve that it shall be a
turgid and dirty stream into which
shall be injected the pent-up, Shiny
filth that has been accumulating since
the last political struggle. All that has
ever been hinted or suspected of men
who are now, or may become, promi-
ment as candidates, is to be raked to-
gether, heaped up and thrown to the
public in abusive epithets, regardless of
our protest that the day forethst SOFT
of thing has passed. In default OF a
place in the columns of the dailies
it is to be put forth in hand
bill form, and worst of all, is to be sent
out with avague, indefinite parentage Cf
a. Many Republicans" Now, we object
to this, as we object TO the introduction
OF politics in the municipal canvass.
The time has passed when dirt-throw-
ing or abuse can avail anything, AID
the time has come when men, WIZ, are
before the public as candidates
for any Office are TO Je treated
simply IS their merits deserve, We
must deal with them, for or against
them, with and in reason, and not as if
they, or We, were blackfIISrds, and could
only eject Billingsgate and blasphemy.
We do not know who the mass meeting
of Monday night may nominate
whether John IIOsfue, who has never
been anything else than a Republican,
or General Smith, or even Ed. Shaw
nor do we care. So strong ale
We in the belief that Major Dusty
will be elected, We do not cale
who the unlucky.individual may be; we
have no war to make on him personally
and shall only review his record as it
proves his unftness for the office to
which he may aspire. We have, in this
snirit Of decency and fair play, invited
Investigation into the character of
Msjor Busby, whom we believe to be
the choice Of the people of Memphis, IL
respective Of party, and have challenged
those who have carpingly put them
selves in opposition to him to tell the
public, even al our expense, in the col |
umns of the APPEAL, wherein and in |
what he falls below the high standard |
that our ueXt mayor must reach. But
we have had no response. The peo-
pie are satisfied, and there is no objec-
tion to him. This is the conclusion
fOrced upon US by the continued
failure to respond 10 our ques-
tons. We also, therefore, not un-
reasonably conclude that the mass
meeting OF tomorrow ill be an un-
necessary labor, that can result only
in the defeat Of whoever it may put
forward as its nominee for mayor. No
matter by whom manipulated, it is des-
tined to end in good for J. J. Busby,
who daily grows stronger with all
classes in Memphis. The people see in
this movement only the unity of old
politicians for purpose not merely per-
tinent to the municipal, but, possibly,
to other csnvasses to come, and they ]
will EIOst heartily oppose it. They will
vote for J. J. Busby for mayor.

enjoy The reward earned by heroic. noble and
self-sacrificing conduct.

has lost an efficient officer, It's members a sun
cere friend, and society useful member

dence, yet, as we are human, we cannot but

OBITUARY.

KENNEDY-Died, in Memphis, on October
years. ..
Among the many friends taken TO their re-
ward on high, in the fairest portion of life,
from loving friends and fond mother, none
are more missed and have brighter memories
than Ella. Life was before her with all the
allurements it ever possesses for the young
and happy, and 1t is sad to think of her vacant
place in her mothers home, where no other
child is left to dissipate the gloom of absence
but we who loved her most must try and think
of the ills and sorrows which might have
awaited her in this life had it been prolonged.
