which lead to the killing, but hear that

AS the Times also states that Cardozo is
under several indictments, he is worthy
Of "their confidence and support" AT

prietors Of the Memphis APPEAL have
promised to the country editor who
could resist the temptation to inform
his readers in each successive issue that
during the week he had received the
first cotton boil which bad formed in

acknowledged this boil as the first and
most promising OF the season.

Some facts which We learned from one
Of our core spOndents in regard to the
sale Of peaches, pears and other fruits
that were raised near Gsdsden, a station
on the Louisville road, seventy-six
miles from Memphis, suggest to our
minds the importance Of making fruit
growing, especially the growing Of
peaches, a speciality in West Tennessee.
There are several places on the same
road well adapted 10 that purpose. The
hills around Gadsden bore fruit this year
when it was killed in other places less
fortunately situated. One man has
thirty acres in peach trees Of various
kinda, including the Early Heath and
Crswford's Early. These peaches are
put on the cars about three o'clock in the
afternoon and reach Cincinnati or st.
Louis the next morning by seven o'clock,
so as to escape the heat Of the day while
being transported. They net, IS we are
informed, the growers Of this fruit four
dollars a barrel. There are many such
places as Gsdsden between Memphis and
the Kentucky line, where fruit might
be successfully grown, The hills between
Milan and Mckenzie and between M
Kenzie and Paris are well suited to fruit
growing, and in the course of time will be
covered with orchards OF the finest fruit
OF every variety. West Tennessee is
now so near the great centers Of populs-
ton by rail-Cincinnati, Chicago and
st. Louis-that we can never grow 80
much early fruit that it will not COM
mand a fine price in those markets.
There is no danger of the. business being
Overdone, or of the market being over
stocked. If the north supplies US with
winter apples and potatoes, let US supply
them with summer peaches, pears, cher
ries, apples, melons, and smaller fruits
and berries. The time will come when
the fruit crop of Tennessee will bring
more money into the State than the
cotton crop, and then our days of pros
perity will be at hand. We invite the
fruit growers from the north and east
to come among US and turn our hills into
orchards and vineyards, for pleasure and
for profit.

While we have believed and stated
that many Of the bonds Of the city Of
Memphis were illegally, if not fraGdu-
lentIy issued, and were purchased with
a knowledge Of their ilIegslity, we never
have and never will counsel and advise
resistance TO law, and CiTegard Of the
decisions CT the courts. Terrible es is
the debt, such course as this would be
more detrimental to the interests Of the
city than the loss of one-foUrth of her
property, because it would render it all
vslueless. If the circuit judges, whether
of the State or Federal courts, make
wrong decisions, the remedy is by ap-
peal to the higher courts, and not by the
city officials refusing to obey the orders
Of the courts. This would be lawless-
ness, and would be equal to the worst
spirit of mobocrscy. We never de-
nounce courts as sanctioning robbery
because they do not decide legal ques-
tons as we desire. If we appeal to the
courts, We must in good faith abide by
their decision. We beg of eeople at
a distance not to regard our citizens as
sanctioning such doctrines as have teen
advanced. This is law-abiding COM
munity, and will respect and obey the
decisions of both Federal and State
courts whenever the final decision is
made. We are for using all legal Ieme-
dies to get rid Of portion Of our city
debt, because we. believe it was con-
tracted in violation of law, but if the
courts decide against us we will not as
sumo to be above the courts and to bid
them defiance. Such a course will only
make matters worse, and will sggrsvate
evils already bad. We do say and
maintain that if it had not been for that
unfortunate clause in our new charter,
virtually prohibiting the payment Of our
city debt, matters might have been ar
ranged much more satisfactorily, and
the city might, by compromise, have
been relieved Of considerable portion
Of her debt. AS we said from the be-
ginning, that is one Of the principal |
causes Of our present troubles.

Artesia Land Sale.

The second great auction sale Of Ar
tesla lands will takeplace the eth, 7th
and Sth of April. The land is to be sold
in five, ten, twenty and forty acre
plats. The town lots average in size
about three-fourths of an acre. The
terms are fifteen per cent. of the pur-
chase money down, ten per cent.
within six months, and twenty-five
per cent. annually until the amount is
paid. On the payment of the fifteen
per cent. the company give the pur-
chaser contract for deed. On the
unpaid amount interest at the rate Of
one per cent. is charged. The pur-
chase money may all be paid down
or in larger sums than stipu-
lated in the contract. These condi-
tions are so liberal that any one may
purchase a farm or town lot. We
have before stated that the soil of Ar
tesla lands is of the best quality. and
that it produces good crops in all sea-
sons, wet or dry. But it is an artesian
well locality. Thus far, all who have
sunk for it have secured flowing wells.
These wells are obtained at compara-
lively trifling cost. The company re-
Gently sunk seven-inch pipe on the
site of the town, and at depth of one
hundred and eighty-seven feet struck
water which flows in sufficient guam
tity to food forty acres Of soil or to
irrigate one thousand acres of fruit
trees. The water jets some seven or
eight feet above the surface of the
ground. The cost of this well was
$425. These are facts about Artesia,
and we commend them to the consid-
Grafton of land seekers, or rather we
recommend that they go down and
see for themselves that what we have
stated is true.

alternate triumphs have definitely
fixed the principles of each, so that
they are we'll understood by the great
mass of the people, and so equally bal
anced have they been that never, until
recently, has either party gained such
popularity as to succeed in getting the
bit between its teeth and riding rough
shod over the sentiments and interests
of the people. But this party freak, as
much as we reprobate it, may prove
of infinite advantage to the nation If
we will profit by the lesson. 1t estab-
fishes the fact almost beyond doubt
that if the sovereign power is once
placed unreservedly in the hands of
the great bulk of the community or in
the hands of single Individual, re-
form by any process is at an end.
We may discuss and alter details, but
the general type of national existence,
objects and principles of its politics
are settled forever. All political re-
form springs from conflicts between
the different parties, and the nearer
these parties are equally balanced, the
sharper will be the conflict and the
more certainly will good results fol-
low. We do not object to third or
even fourth party, provided its prin-
ciples are well defined; but we depre-
cate the establishment of party with
indefinite principles and adopting
catch-word name that means nothing,
such as Conservatives, Independents.
Liberals. ETC., all of which mean the
same thing, if they mean anything.
To say that you are Liberal" in re-
ligion, is simply saying, II am OPP
posed to all the restraints imposed by
the churches, which the imperfectiOns
of human nature require; l have con-
structed a theory in my own mind
about the imperfections of mankind,
which is indeed incongruous, but which
is indispensable to my liberal theory"
This is liberal, but it is the liberallty
of moral spendthrift, who, having
thrown to the winds his own princi-
Piles, is willing to indulge every one
else to the utmost in similar conduct.
How far the same rule holds good in
politics we leave the reader to deter
mine. We are willing that religious
organization shall be multiplied; but
we want at least the first lines of your
articles of faith. And if we have new
political parties, we want their prin-
ciples defined.

In all departments Of life, abstract
words play a most important part.
The great mass of mankind never
make inquiry further than to ascer-
tain which of two or three party catch
words are most in harmony with the
tone of their own minds. This is en-
phatically true in regard to politics
and religion. A good party name
saves all further trouble about the
position of those to whom it applies,
but these are not received with favor
by the modern politician. The best
party names with them are those
which are absolutely meaningless,
such as Hunkers, Barnburners, Know
Nothing, in America; Right, Left and
Center, in France; Wings, Tories and
Liberals, in England. Nothing is ex-
pressed by these names, and for that
reason they were adopted, that their
respective adherents might have
wide latitude to become all things to
all men. Not SO with the words

A Revok;ng Lick.

"The Dell was sick, the Dell
saint would be; the Dell got well, the
dell saint was he.n JAMES LICK
was sick and gave away his pelf,
JAMES LICK got well and took it again
himself. 1t was the private opinion
of a good many people, ourselves in
cluded, that in giving away his five
million dollars worth of property
JAMES LICK offered very strong evil
dence of the truth of the remark that
one could see how great the Almighty's
contempt for wealth by noticing the
fools he gave it to. We are not in the
habit of making a statement SO un-
qualified as to leave no loop-hole for
escape, and we therefore add that
while we do not hold this rule to be
without an exception, we certainly
have no thought of placing Mr.. LICK
in the category of exemptions. The
man who has acquired wealth and
voluntarily gives it all away while he
is yet above ground, defies the adage,
3" Keep the loaf under your own arm,"
and proves himself devoid of wisdom.
But if we thought Mr.. LICK a fit SUBJ
ject for an insane asylum when he
decided away his five million dollars,
we now have reason to reverse that
opinion, for he has revoked the deed
of gift and takes back that portion of
his property not already disposed of.
The Trustees refuse to surrender the
property, and the question of owner
ship will be decided by the Courts.
That Mr.. LICK will recover what yet
remains in the hands of the Trustees,
there is scarcely the shadow of doubt.
He has son and other relatives whose
claim to the property is greater than
that of the public. We regret to see
one who has lived long and useful
life turn daft in the evening of his
days, and this revocation act of Mr..
LICK greatly elevates him in our esti-
nation.

CalifOrnia's Quota Of Arms.

WASHINGTON, March 27th.-Sepator Sargent
had an interview with the Secretary of War
and the Chief of Ordinance to-day and laid be-
fore them telegram from Governor Pacheco
asking for the issue OF new arms to the State.
The authorities declined to act until some ac-
count is furnished by the Governor of the
arms already received. There is a heavy ball
ance against the State for arms. The recent
LEG islation designed to open way to cancel
fore more arms can be issued. The War De-
partment will allow for all arms destroyed in
the service, or by fire, and will receive back
all in the hands of the militia or the State,
and then if the arms so accounted for cover
the indeb edness they will issue the kind Of
arms desired by the State to ill its quota. The
Secretary promised the Senator that no time
should be lost W hen the Governors reply came
to hand. Tue generalities of telegram will
not cover the case, and the best way is to
make an early and complete reply to the War
Department.
