~ The interest id political circles
this Fall has centered 10 BurLER's cam.
psign in Massachusetts. The Ohio elec-
ton possesses vastly more significance
because of it's hearing on future events,

the election into the courts, and have a man
damnS issued for an exhibit of the election
returns. They refused, on the grounds that
the court was Republican, and that they
would rather trust the effect that public
opinion would have in making congress go
behind the returns. The result was that Mr..
1ilden was counted out and Mr. Hayes

IT was thought James had fed to the woods,
and scouts were sent out in every direction,
but ms body was found at eight o'clock sus-
pended in the barn The two older sisters
were seriously but not fatally injured, and
weak from loss of blood. The youngest re-
ceiged terrible blow on the side of her head
and has vomited large quantity of blood.
Mrs. Smith died year ago, heart-broken by
James's bad conduct and villanous habits
Old Smiths head was literally mashed into
pulp. The doctors found that James died
from slow strangulation. His toes were
touching the hay, and he had evidently strug-
gled desperately. Last night he told one of
his sisters he was going to rob the cash box,
as he wanted money to 20 on the Odd-Fel-
lows excursion to-day. He also told her be
had club ready in case the old man kicked
up a row, and showed her the cordwood with
which he committed the murder, but she
thought he was joking.
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-08-03

WE publish this morning a letter from a
Holly Springs correspondent iuclosing from
the Reporter a call by the merchants of that
town for convention to be held there on
the twelfth instant, TO take steps for re-
dress of grievances inflicted 10y the Chi
cago, st. Louis and New Orleans rail-
road, and which have been too long
borne. To this convention a delegation
from the Memphis chamber of commerce is
cordially invited. We hope there will be
prompt response. Holly Springs is very
important point. 1t is the center of a -four
ishing section of country, the people of which
desire to trade with this city. 1t is our in
terest to encourage and foster this kindly
feeling, and to promote the wishes of
people who desire to be linked to us by the
bonds OF mutual good will We urge upon
the chamber of commerce the Importance of
sending delegation to this convention.
where, if nothing else can be done, steps
may be taken to complete so much of the
Selma road as runs to Holly Springs. This
seems to Us to be the simplest solution of the
problem, the only thing in the way of which,
as the RepO' ter says, is half dozen bond
holders, who will neither build nor allow
Others to build. An examination of the
charter by skillful lawyer would perhaps
result in making a way, despite these bond
holders. Who will look intoit?
