dor. il is reported that there is a move
ment in Worcester county in favor Of
Hon. w. w. Rice, but it must be a very
quiet movement, and no evidence has
yet been given of ANY formidable
strength. Some Of the friends of Lieu
enant-Governor Knight are inclined-tO
press him for the frst place on the
ticket, but he is undoubtedly sLrewd
enough tot restrain their zeal. The
friends OF Speaker Sanford show no
sign Of q purpose to rally for him, but
he will probably show some strength
when the convention meets. The pros
poets Of DR.. Loring and Of Ex-Governor
Talbot are discussed, and it is apparent
that the former will have a strong sup
port frem Essex county and other places,
and that the candidate OF last year has
many earnest friends. Other names
may be suggested as the State conven-
ton approaches, but 1t is pretty certain
that the choice will be made from the
list named. The indications are that
there will be this year an unusual num-
Der 81 uncommitted delegates ent to
the convention, and that the division
lines within the party will not be go tsut
as in some former years. There is also
the terrible possibility that odd Ben
may again attempt to capture.the nomi-

ANOTHER attempt is being made to
organize a new independent party, and
to this end number of self-appointed
delegates assembled at Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, recently, and after
an informal interchange of views
it was resolved that in Septem-
Der next national convention
shall be held in that city, composed Of
delegates chosen by oranges Of the
Patrons OF Husbandry, Liberal Republic
can associations, reform clubs-political
and financial-the "greenbsck party"
workingmen's associations, etc., for the
purpose Of organizing for the Presiden-
tial campaign Of 1876. OF course, this,
like all its predecessors, will prove a
failure, as the Philadelphia Chronicle
forcibly says: "By taking the Demo-
cratic party at its word the people have
begun to see in its success that sure saliva
ton from political death that is gusran-
teed by the triumphs of the Democracy
next fall and next year. II that party
has thus far, in its partial success,
proved true to its principles and pledges
itself to further reform, why not give it
An honest and thorough trial? The
Democratic party has an everlasting
vitality in its principles which should
only obtain in 8 republic, and without
their practice a free people cannot exist;
the marty hRs q Irst .claSs organization.
its leaders are men Of ability and re-
spectabilitY; its intentions honorable
and patriotic, and its pledges made to
be kept. Then why should not the In
dependents rally with the Democracy
to save the country?n

The late Duff Green,

Cincinnati Enquirerl
In the death Of Duff Green we are car.
ried back to the early newspaper and
political history of the country. He
conducted the first party organ ever es.
tablished in Washington. twas called
the National Telegraph. 1t was the
predecessor of the famous Globe, of Blair
and Rives. 1t was conducted by Duff
Green before General Andrew Jackson
was President of the United States, in
1929. 1t was the Jackson paper, but in
year or two thereafter, when the peg
sonal quarrel arose between General
Jackson and Vice-President John G..
Calhoun, in regard to certain matters
which had occurred in the cabinet of
President James Monroe, in 1919, when
Calhoun was secretary Of war, when q
censure was proposed to be imposed
upon General Jackson on account Of his
invasion of the Spanish province OF Flor
ida as majoragenersl Of the army, Green
tooE the part of Calhoun. He lost
the favor of the administration, and
Francis P. Blair was called from Frank
fort, Kentucky, where he vas then con-
Quoting the Argus, to establish the
Globe in opposition to the Telegraph.
That was fOrty-five years ago. Duff
Green was ono OF those stout and pru-
dent men who, OUTLYING all tboir con-
temporaries, expire in the midst of a
descendant posterity which is stranger
to the events and incidents by which
they were distinguished. Jackson has
been dead thirty years, yet by the de-
cease of Duff Green we are carried back
to period before he was known as the
President of the United States. What
life was that which embraced such a
career! Duff Green was one OF the
ablest editors Of the olden time, and in
the period in which ne lived wrote his
name indelibly upon the history of the
press of the United States.

On Friday last, as was announced by
telegraph, after many months Of dam
aging controversy, the railroad war be-
tween the Bslt;c'ore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania railroads, which has been
instrumental in throwing Erie into the
hands Of areceiver, and in materially
diminishing the receipts Of the Central,
was put in fair shape for settlement.
The basis OF this settlement, as we find
ii in the New York Sun of Saturday, is
to this effect: On the part Of the Penn
sylvania railroad it is agreed that the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad shall have
the privilege of running the same num-
Der of trains daily over the Pennsylvania
road, and to have the advantage of
terminal facilities at a rate to be mutu-
ally satisfactory. This involves the with
dTswsl Of the restrictions within the
limits Of the city Of Baltimore, which
have greatly Inconvenience the Balti-
more and Ohio road, and does away with
the necessity Oftheir sending their west
ern freight to Baltimore by the Old Do
minion steamship line. On the part of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad it is
agreed that the freight tariff shall be
re-established land made general, if the
other roads concur on the basis OF sew.
enty-five cents per hundred for first-class
freight to Chicago, and that the passen-
ger fare shall be advanced to the Sara.
toga compact basis-twenty-two dollars
to Chicago. There are Of course many
other clauses in this momentous agree

The Ohio Democratic State conven-
ton will assemble at Columbus to-mor-
row, the Bunker Hill centennial, and it
is presumed that Governor Allen will
be renominated. There are the usual
symptoms OF an Independent temper
ance movement in the State, and the
nomination of State ticket. Governor
Allen was elected by plurality of eight
hundred and seventeen in 1873. Last
year the Democratic majority over the
Republicans on the aggregate congress
sional vote of the State was twenty
thousand three hundred and forty-eight.
The election this year takes place Octo-
Der 18th, and besides governor, several
State officers and members of the legis-
ture will be chosen.

GOVERNOR DAVIS, of Minnesota, has
declined denomination by the Repub-
lican party through the State central
committee. His letter was q genuine
surprise, and has disarranged all the
plans Of the Republican leaders. In &C.
cordance with universal custom in the
state, since the Republicans gained the
sscendency, it was supposed his friends
would ask for him a second term, and
the Rsmseyites, embracing nearly all
the managers of the party, had deter
mined to offer no opposition to his NOM
inatiOn, but to pay him off for what
they term his trescheRy in the senatorial
contest last fall, by defeating him at the

aEMPHIS APPEAL
WEDNESDAY, JUNE IG, 1875.


The New York Tribune hiss nearly
reached the acme Of new paper pertec.
ton. The crispy, rugged editorials oi
lie honest, but fretful and iras chile Gree
ley are greatly missed. But their places
sre supplied by the pungent acrimony,
the scholary attainments and classical
Learning Of Whitelaw Reid. AS q great
newspaper, the Tribune has no superior
on lie American continent. But it has
haG 10 pay the penalty Of success. The
81 esk and unfortunate newspaper excites
10 envy. It's sickness, its weakness,
its paaury and hunger are not coveted.
But the paper which has by Drawn, brain,
superior energy, tact and ability been
triumphant, becomes at once an
object OF jealousy, envy and hate
the most sleepless and consuming.
Hence the Tribune is receiving the
concentrated wrath Of the other New
York papers. The Herald, the Times
and the World attack it singly and in
force. But the Tribune cares no more
for these assaults than does the moon for
the wolves that howl at it. To show the
damage which has been done by this
abuse, the Tribune publishes from theof-
fetal report OF the postmaster Of the city
Of New York to the acknowledgement,
giving the amount Of postage paid by
each paper in the month Of January
last on their regular editions:

CONVICT LABOR.

The penitentiaries of every State in
the Union are burdened with convicts,
and the cry is stillithey come. What to
do with these culprits is problem diff
cult to solve. The proposition Of Gen.
eral n. B. Forrest to take charge Of all
evil-d0ers convicted by the courts of
Memphis, and place them on Presidents
island, or some other. accessible place, is
attracting considerable discussion, and
will come up for disposal at the next
term Of the county court. We presume
satisfactory arrangements will be made,
but it is with great difficulty that the
q contracting parties can come to an
agreement-bOth expecting and desiring
to make money by the trade. We see
fsJ4=- 49, NJ YORK sun that the Bay
State shoe and leather company oper-
ates several Of the larger prisons and
penitentisries, among them that OF
Kings county, in New York, and the
New Jersey State prison at Trenton,
paying stated sum for convict labor.
At Trenton they have worked on an
average four hundred prisoners, paying
them seventy-flve cents per day q man,
or at the rate Of one hundredIsnd twenty
thousand dollars a year-a snug sum for
the State, as it renders the institution
selfsustaining. Last week the State
authorities were notified that the COM
pany could no longer retain the labor
nd SIo -,
dollar bond given in the contract. The
company says it can pay no more than
forty cents q day for convict labor. 1t
owns the machinery, and should the
State decide to conduct the manufacture
in its own behalf, it will be necessary to |
expend one hundred thousand dollars |
for machinery, for which there is no APP
preparation. The same company for |
merly operated the Rhode Island prison,
but surrendered its contract. So far as
our knowledge extends, the people of
Shelby county desire that convicts be
made to suffer for their crimes by hard |
labor, but they are unwilling to be taxed
for this purpose. II convicts are not |
made to pay their own expenses, the
taxpayers will have to support them.
The convict must be employed in order
to prevent his becoming a burden to the
tax payer, and we believe this can only
be done by turning over all conyicts to
safe and energetic men, who will act
with more economy and prudence than
csa be expected of men not pecuniarily
interested.

years retiring from power and giving

mistaking it. The opposition have al
ready a very large majority In one
branch Of the government, it has re-

tide. The indications, as they present
themselves to thinking men, are that

mated in 1875, and the Democratic party
will come into power in the nation.'

twill be seen that the circulation OF
the Tribune through the mails is greater
than that ofthe Herald and Tines COM
bined, or that OF the World and Times
combined, and almost as great as that
OF all three Of these other morning pa
pers combined. This was a terrible re-
venge on the part Of the Tribune, and
its editors ought to be arrested and pun
ished by the venerable and kind-heart-
ed Bergh. In the south, the PERSONAL
tiles and scurrility which once dishg-
ured the press and made the editorial
fraternity equivalent to a daily cock
pit, have been discarded by the decent
members Of the press. But in a few
towns and cities there are dirty BLACK =
guards who still seek nOtOriety by
throwing filth at their neighbors. In
all such cases we advise the assailed CO.
temporary to initiate the cruel revenge
OF the New York Tribune by publish
ing the amount Of postage paid by the
bIsekguard and his victim. The figures
will show how such mean envy and petty
spite diminishes the circulation of the
assailed and increases the circulation Of
the assailant.
