LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Memphis and Knoxville.


EDITORS APPEAL-In your editorial
in Wednesdays APPEAL in regard to
the speech Of Colonel D. w. Holman, of
Fayetteville, you say: "We hope we
may soon see the Memphis and Nash
vile road in operation as far as Fayette-
vile, and our city enjoying the benefits
which he fully anticipates from its con-
struction.n l suppose the word s'Nash-
vile" is typographical error, and the
Memphis and Knoxville road was the
one alluded to. What has become of
this project? Is it to be abandoned as
far as Memphis is concerned, and
stopped at Bolivar? 1t is estimated that
this road would bring to this city, from
the counties on this side of the Tennes-
see river, at least twenty thousand bales
of cotton per annum which now go to
Mobile and New Orleans. The direct
profits on this cotton would be at least
four dollars per bale, or eighty thousand
dollars per Rnnum, or ten per cent. upon
eight hundred thousand dollars. This
does not include the trade in other arti-
Cles which the bringing of this cotton
here would give this city. Colonel Hol-
man looks at it in o manufacturing
point of view, but viewed only CONNER
cially, is not its importance overlooked?
May we not lose it entirely by neglect?
AS a citizen Of Memphis, would be
glad to know what are the purposes Of
the president and board of directors OF
this company in regard to extending
this road to Memphis. The reading OF
Colonel Holman's speech causes me to
make these inquiries. So small would
be the cost of this road compared with
its benefits, that it seems astonishing it
has not been under contract long ago.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

Chairman Robbins called the board to
order, and Aldermen Dwyer, Metcalf,
Dent, Happek, Hillsman, Doyle, and
Morti answered to their names when
called by Register Williamson.
The members quietly cOnversed about
the city's welfare while the minutes Of
the March meetings were being read
and approved.
The aldermen were invited to the
council chamber for joint session with
the council. After hearing the mayors
message the board resumed business.
The monthly reports were read and
approved.
The city engineer was authorized to
sell an old spring-wagon and lot OF old
iron. The same officers requisitiOn for
supplies was granted.
Hospital Physician Thornton's requi-
sition was allowed after some explaha-
tiOn about the Irish potatoes.
Further time was allowed the COM
mittee on engineers department.

ment committee, recommended the ap-

Mr., GREENE, whom Governor Inger-
soil has so Overwhelmingly defeated in
Connecticut, is the gentleman who rep
resented the postmasters, revenue off,
GERS, and other dependents Of power
who are always about party conventions,
and who, having had free field to run
the machine their own way, OF course
nominated the only man in the State
who was stupid and malignant enough
TO fire one hundred guns over the Presi-
dents message defending the despotlc
slbyersion OF the civil authority in Lou
isians by General Sheridan; who did
not stop with wasting his powder
TO prove himself a natural SIM
pleton or pitisble lick-spittle,
but at once rushed into print to say
that "to- LAY l shall cause 8 salute to be
fired in honor OF President Grants mes
ssge.n He was determined that none
should be ahead Of him either in his
folly or in putting in his claim for any
rewards that might come within his
range anu q COuNeAtlou tDat was al
lowed to run along loose, because Of the
hepelessness Of the contest, found just
the man that the extreme Radicals Of
Connecticut wanted in James Lloyd
Greene. So Mr.. Greene was the Re-
publican candidate, and the people have,
in defeating him by crushing msjori-
tv- rehuked Grant and Sheridan. and all
the whole tribe.

A VERY knOtty point for lawyers will
be to decide which Of the two are gen.
ersl laws affecting municipal charters
that passed for the especial benefit Of
Memphis, or that for Nashville. A
general law for municipal purposes
within the meaning and intent Of the
constitution should, by its provisions,
cover ali the exigencies of cities and
towns in the State, to the exclusion Of
any other law on the same subject.
Section eight of article eleven Of
the constitution says that "nO corpora
ton shall be created, or its powers in
creased or diminished, by special laws;
but the general assembly shall provide
by general laws for the organization Of
all corporations hereafter created
Either the Nashville or the Memphis
charter will have to go to the wall under
this prOvisO Of the organic law Of the
State,

A COMMUNICATION to us in referenee
to the retiracy of Mr. Lopez from the
Office OF genersl freight agent of the

gests the appointment uf a Mem
pms plan in his place, as most
likely to give satisfaction to local
freignters. We agree with the CORE
se6ndent, and hope that when the va
esncy is permanently filled it will be by
one or other of the half-dozen freight
men who have done so much
for the mercantile interests Of
Memphis, and who are personally
known to merchants and shippers for
their intelligence, energy end chRrsc-
ter. By dOiIg so we believe the road

The Little Rock Republican hopes it
is true that the Louisville railroad is
hereafter to run the Little Rock road,
and says: Colonel Fink is one of the
best railroad men in the country, and
the Louisville and Memphis is the
weslthiest railroad corporation in the
south. If obtains control Of the Mem
phis and Little Rock railroad, Arkansas
will have another and better outlet
than the one afforded by the Cairo and
Fulton monopoly.n
