The car which Burke defended against

were at the sides instead of the ends, other
wise the scoundrels would probably have
succeeded in their attempt. The plucky ex-
press messenger, Burke, is an Irishman, and
was formerly employed in the express office
ct Cairo. 1t is thought that a clue has been
discovered to the robbers, and they will soon
be secured. The excitement is intense and
lynching is ieared.

THECALIKORNIA RURREE.

The California fever is as dead as an
unsalLed herring decaying under a mid
summers sun. There has been a gen.
eral discussion Of this subject in the
southern States, aud the impression now
obtains that California is a humbug.
The spectators are enraged at the
course Of the APPEAL; hut many a de-
luded sdventurer has been saved much
disappointment and suffering. 1t is
useless TO continue an exposure OF the
humbug, but we are induced to give the
following extract from the Dyersburg
Progress "There is no question about
the California delusion. If reliable,
honest and trustworthy men had not
returned from that State and reported it
bad place for poor men, then the peo-
pie o; the county might be induced TO
believe otherwise. But they have
done so. Men without much means
we mean men who have to work for
what they eat-hsve returned to all parts
OF this State, and they all report about
the same: that it is half, IL not sII, de-
fusion about California. They report men
footsore and weary returning home afoot
because they have no money to travel
on the cars. They report men there by
the thousands out Of employment, and
many out Of money. They say, and SO
1t is known TO be true, that lands are
enormously high as well as rents, and
that no man without abundant means
can go there and benefit himself. There

HENPIIES APPEAL
FRIDAY, JULY .. 1875.
HE sOUIHERs WHITES AND
BLACKS.

Under this head the st. Louis RcpuJ-
Hcdn ssys: "Mr. Ben Hill, Of Georgia,
is disposed to take 3 rose-cOlOred view OF
a dark subject. He thinks the time is
close ct hand when the black citizen Of
the south will vote just as his employer
asks him. and that within five years at
farthest the southern negro who manages
his own politics in his own way will be
an exception TO the general rule. This
harmonizes with the idea Of Fred Doug
lass at the close Of the war. That sblest
of African apostles declared that 'his
people, as he called them, would, if let
alone, vote with their old masters.'
When asked why the freedmen would
place their ballots at the disposal Of the
men who, according TO the abolition
theory, had so grievously and per-
sistently msltrested them, he allowed
his white blood to get the better Of him
by say: st is the natural instinct of the
colored man to look up TO gentleman
Hill thinks that sufficient progress has
been made in the direction Of perma-
nent reconciliation OF the whites and
blacks to Justify the prediction quoted
above. We sincerely trust he may be
correct-at least, to q certain extent"
The APPEAL does not con-
cur in these views. In
these remarks, Fred Douglass and
B. II. Hill do injustice to both the whites
and blacks of the south. The southern
blacks do not propose to become the alb
iect seryitors CT the whites, and the
whites do not expect or require such
vassalage. For nine years the southern
white people have ridiculed and GEN.
sured the colored nan for voting blindly
according to the dictates Of the carpet
baggers, and if in changing their policy
they vote solidly with their employers,
they will have only changed masters,
The southern whites do not desire to
control the colored people only so far as
it is to the interest of both races. The
negro is proud OF his freedom, and just
such arguments as the above will arouse
his pride and force him to antsgonize
the whites. There should be amicable
relations, perfect accord, between the
southern whites and blacks, but the day
will never come when the whites will
carry the blacks in their hands
and vote them as they deem
proper. The negro ia free, and must re-
main free; he is citizen, and must re-
main a citizen; he is one of us, for good
or evil, and can neither be ostracised nor
expelled. Bitter experience has brought
wisdom. The southern whites snd
blacks are coming together. The blacks
have ceased to follow the lead of impe-
cunious adventures; they have set up
for themselves, determined TO vote IN
accordance with the dictates Of their
honest judgment. This is all the whites
ask, for they do not fear the blacks when
freed from the influence Of the bad men
that have so long led them. The mo-
ment the colored race cut loose from
the csrpetbagger, and act and think for
themselves, that moment will there be
peace between the two races, whose in
terests are identical.

The CAUSE. OF ATLANTA's PROSPER
ETY.


Atlanta, in the State of Georgia, is
recognized as the most prosperous city
in the south. This is accounted for on
the ground that she has a diversified
labor and is not the mart for cotton or
any one agricultural product. The secret
of Atlants's great prosperity was exem-
plified on Monday last at the celebration
Of the Fourth of July. After Hon. A.
H. Stephens had concluded his eloquent
speech, the Immense audience, escorted
by the military, repaired to the spot Sc
lected for a new cottOn-fsctOry and
stesm-mill company. Dirt was broken
amid much enthusiasm, and short
speeches were made by Mr.. Stephens,
Governor Brown, Judge Lochrane,
Mayor Spencer, and other prominent
citizens. What misfortune that Mem
phis is not inspired with such enter
prise. VIII the people of this city ever
turn out to see dirt removed for the pur-
pose of erecting a new cotton-factory, or
for manufacturing Of any kind? Such
a demonstration as that which occurred
at Atlanta on Monday last would be the
beginning OF new era in our city's
prosperity. Manufacturing enterprises
would give employment to large num-
Der Of persons now idle and non-produc-
ing, increase our population, retain many
here who will be driven away for the
want Of employment, enhance the value
or real estate now unstable aud I'M
profitable, inspire confidence and give
an earnest and increasing prosperity to
the city. We have reached a point
where there should be a change, and
prompt and energetic action. Our geo.
graphical position would make Mem
phis q great city if our people would
engage in manufacturing. Cotton fac
tories can be made more profitable than
any other investments. II only one
was putt operation and made success
full, as it can be, it would open the way
to many more, and, in fact, make Mem
phis the great manufacturing city Of the
south. Not only cotton factories but
other enterprises would soon follow.
Our climate is favorable, labor abun-
dant and transportation ample. Capt.
tai is the great want, but there is abun.
dant if it were not so timid. We hope
10 sea, at no distant day, a movement
on this subject. II is one Of vital inn
Portance 10 all classes, and especially
to real estate owners.

MAIL FAILURES.
The River RIRR Able TO Compete WIFI
the Department.
COurier-Jour nall

Courier-Jour nal.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-Postmaster
Jewell has his hands full in fighting the
straw bidders. Several cases came up
before the department to-day that indi-
cate triumph for the powerful mail
contract ring. There were two instances
of failures of mail contracts to-day in
the hands of honest carriers. Ordina-
rily the failure of a mail contract is only
-. the work of the straw man to get it in
the hands Of ring bidder who stands
above him. These cases are different,
and develop q new line Of tactics upon
the part Of The ring. Matthew Dupee
had the contract for carrying the mails
between New Orleans and Vicksburg
for the annual compensation OF twenty
seven thousand three hundred dollars,
against twenty-uine thousand nine hun
bred and eighty dollars paid last year.
James B. Price had the contract be-
tween Ssbine Pass and Weiss landing
for seven thousand dollars against nine
thousand five hundred dollars last year.
Now these two men have failed in their
contracts simply because the steRmbO
have combined with the river men, and
refuse tn carry the mails for these men.
1t will be interesting to know that the
steamboats, and river men are powerful
enough to dictate their own terms to the
department.

rom an occasional CorresnondentI

From an Occasional Correspondent
BROWNSVILLE, July Z, 1875.-Our
young city has been, this week, the
scene OF another of those unexpected and
unfortunate tragedies that bring regret
to all good citizens, and are so liable to
miscOnstruction by the public abroad.
Monday evening, the fifth instant, Cap
tain ]. B. Phillips, of the firm Of Phil
lips, Leake.& Co., and Mr.. r. Kau-
trOwitz and other parties, had person
81 difficulty on the street while return
ing from lodge, in which Phillips was
stabbed in the left wrist and in the left
thigh, and severely bruised about the
face and arms, and KautrOwitz shot
through the body with pistol ball, in
fiicting s mortal wound, from which he
died at half-past twelve o'clock yester-
day. Circuit court being in session here
the case went before the grand jury
yesterday; true bill was found against
Phillips and presented to the court. He
being confined to his bed by his wounds,
appeared by attorney, and was admitted
to bail in the sum of four thousand dol.
lars. The bond was promptly given, and
the case stands for trial at the next term
ofthe court. Captain Phillips is still con-
fined to bis bed under the professional
care of DR.. J Ohm J. Ware, and is doing
well. He will probably be on the streets
again by the end of the week. The re-
mains of Mr.. KautrowitZ will be carried
to Memphis to-day for interment, by
his Hebrew brethren Of this place. He
leaves large family in rather destitute
circumstances. $50

NIckshurR Herald.l

\ lCkhDAIE heIhld.l
Under the pretence Of celebrating the
anniversary of American independence,
Judge George T. Brown and Jim Hill,
our negro secretary Of state, with those
many-times indicted thieves, forgeTs
and EN- bezZlers II. w. CSrdozO and w.
Davenport, the first our mulattO state
superintendent Of education, the latter
our pumpkin-cOlored clerk OF the
chancery court, assembled a large crowd
OF Ignorant country negroes at the court
house yesterday. After incendisry
harangues from Judge Brown and Secre-
tary OF State Hill, a white vagabond
named John Hill-a fellow imported
into this county from east Mississippi
by GIlmer, Peter Crosby's deputy
sheriff, insolently provoked row with
Mr.. Harvey Andrews, Of the firm OF
Andrews d Bros. For his persistent
insOlence, Hill was knocked down and
slightly wounded by q pistol shot.
About the same time, Ben Allen the
most notorious negro scoundrel in the
county, q fellow who spends about
half his time in the county
iail and workhOuse for stealing and
general rsscality, mounted a table and
drew a pistol, presumably with the pur-
pure VI bOlhC oICi thdo YIN
hitting felony, when he was prompt
Iy knocked down and very roughly
handled; simultaneously another negro,
one who was subsequently killed, at
tempted to shoot Jerome B. Pegram.
These three contemporaneOus hostile
acts produced the shooting which caused
the killing of one man and the wound
ing of three Others. That anyone
ehOuld have been killed or injured is to
be regretted, unless, indeed, Judge
Brown, CardOzo, Davenport, and few
other infamous scoundrels could have
met the fate which overlook their igno-
rant dupes. We hold George F. Brown
responsible for the blood shed yesterday,
and if an honest grand jury can ever be
impaneled in tais county, we promise
to have the miserable old caitiff indicted
for it. In that event he will go to the
penitentiary instesd of to congress to
achieve which he is now moving heav-
