 As far as appeared from last weeks discuss ion of these resolutions, they had only one pro- nounced opponent; Gallagher, of New Haven. Representative F. T. Barnum offered to pair with Gallagher, aad let them go through unan- imously, but the latter would not consent.
 There has been serious temperance war going on for sometime past in Stamford. In October last the town voted ',No license" but tine liquor traffic continued. Thereupon some 0f the temperance men sent down for detec- Iiy2 from New York. These men came up and. under assumed names, hung around the places where liquor could be procured and soon worked up cases against them. The com mencemeht of prosecutions aroused as great deal of feeling on the part of the dealers and their friends, and nothing but the presence of the sheriff and a strong posse kept the mob from abusing the witnesses on the trials. There were several convictions and appeals to the Supreme Court Counter prosecutions were then brought against the witnesses on various charges and we sec that an attempt was made to throw 6 traiE on the N. '. & N. H. road of the track, Saturday night, on the supposition, it is believed, that some of these spies were on board. The detectives behaved as such fellows usually do, aroused all those indifferent to hostility, and disgusted many strong friends oi temperance.
 We have often seen the detective system ap plied'to liquor cases, but never with any last ing good results. The average public sense of morality is more shocked at the scandaloul methods pursued by the spies than by the crimes they expose. Juries, too, seldom con yict on such testimony.

THE mURDERER APP.

The murder OF Hackett by App in Mem
phis few days since was committed in cold
blood. 1t was premeditated, for after retir-
ing App returned and committed the deed.
And what was the offense? Hackett was
guilty of the crime of refusing an irresponsI-
bic dead credit. That was an unpardon-
able outrage TO the chivalric nature of the
irate App. 1, touched his se1sibiities, and
in consequences the industrious shoemaker,
Charles HaCkeit, now slumbers with his
fathers. The poor man hung on to his boots,
which had not been paid for. This outrage
filed the cup of Apps endurance, aud the
wronged youth felt that it was time for the
down-trodden worm to turn. There was
but one thing under the circumstances for
the high-toned and self-respecting gentle
man seeking TO protect his cold feet from the
nipping frost at the expense of an industri-
GUS mechanic to do, and App, without hesi-
tation, did 1t. He went to his room and Sc
curing his little pistol, he returned to the ex-
tortionate and remorseless Hackett and dis
charged bullet into his bowels. The poor
fellow fell mortally wounded, dying after in
tense suffering, and the murderer made HE
escape and is still at large. 1t is hoped no eff
fort will be spared to capture the fugitive,
for he is emnently fitted to adorn gallows.
If Apps example be allowed TO spread the
consequences will be eminently disastrous
Statesmen and shopkeepers will be COM
PEELED to secrete under their counters double
barreled shot-guns loaded and cooked. Well
may we ask whittier are we tending and to
what are we coming when an industrious
mechanic can be shot down like a dog for the
crime OF trying to save the fruits of his sweat
and tel from the clutches of the robber.

has no power TO legislate against the APP
proach of such an enemy Is an absurdity.
The Picdytme is right in declaring that 1.-THE
belief is general, we may say universal
among the people of all the neighborlng
States, that the recent epidemic had It's
source and origin in New Orleans, and that
but for a negligence which they are scarcely
restrained from calling criminal, New Or
leans could have prevented it from spreading
beyond her limits. Every dollar that has
been lest, every life that has been sacrificed,
is charged to the account of New Orleans.
On this point there seems to be general
concurrence of opinion This unanimity,
north, south, east and west, will Sc
cure the passage Of a quarantine law
that will protect the whole country from
scourge which if again permitted to make
its appearance will desolate the south. The
advocates Of rigid quarantine are not actua-
ted by any desire TO injure New Orleans.
She is the great city Of the south, which is
proud of her fame and her prosperity, but
the people Of the south love life and them
selves more, and they insist on quarantine
for the protection OF life and health, which
they regard as more important than the in
terest of cities or individuals. Apart from
the humanitarian considerations, the material
loss to the country from yellow-fever is enor-
nous. 1t is estimated that the loss to the
south by the last epidemic alone was one
hundred and seventy-fve million dollars. 1t
is only the highest and most self-devoted
science which can avail to check it. In
some way science must master this malady
as it has already mastered smallpox by vac

BUSINESS MEN AND ADVERTISING.

The mammoth APPEAL will be issued as
usual tomorrow, and on account of its inn
mense circulation, offers great inducements
to advertisers. Our business men properly
realize the uses of daily commercial news
paper, and its value and Importance in pro-
noting their interests and the prosperity
generally of the city, and hence in the AP
PEAL from day to day, and especially on
Sunday, will be found advertisements of
every regular business competing for trade.
1t is the duty of each individual citizen, not
only TO use his best efforts to secure good gov
ernment-Federal, State and municipal-but
also, in matters of local enterprise, to do all
he can to promote the business interests of
the community in which he dwells. In pro-
noting the interest of others, we promote
cur own. There is no agency that can so
efficiently promote laudable enterprises as a
large newspaper, read by the entire commu-
nifty. Slow men, engaged in a small, preca-
rious business, ask, "What is the use in adj
vertising?" With equal propriety we might
as well ask, "What is the use of the sign
over your door?" Your sign in the APPEAL
will be read by thousands, while
the painted name over your door
attracts no attention. Your house Of
business is fixed and stationary. An adver-
tisement in the APPEAL carries your place Of
business not only over the city, but through
the counties and interior States, where it be-
comes known and is read by all. If you have
nothing to sell, no bargains to offer, and dc
not want customers, don't advertise. But
who are the successful business men all ovel
the country-those who advertise or those
who do not? Whose names are better
known, or have reached richer harvests by
advertising than those of A. T. Stewart
Co., Lord & Taylor, Arnold. Constable & Co.

phis. Men, women and children, who were
never in this city. know where to send theil
orders. From day to day they read the ad-
vertisements and become familiar with
houses which they never saw, and wher
they visit Memphis they know where to go
and where to find the goods they want.
