The southern Democracy.
Memphis Appeal.

In all the Southern States tho
Democrats are preparing for a Wig
Orous campaign. IL Is only here In
Memphis that a new party has been
proposed. From Texas to Mary
land the Democratic are organizing.
They take the position that the
slender majority we now have in
the House of Representatives must
not be lost in the next. The next
Senate will be ours, and il will be a
great misfortune TO our country II
we fail to retain our power In the
House. To maintain the Constitu-
tion, to enforce the laws, TO preserve
the rights of all the States and peO-
pie, the Democratic party Is fully
committed. TO discharge these im-
pOrtant trusts we must secure the
executive, judicial and legislative
departments of the Government.
We must have unity-no division,
no shrinking. With such a spirit
animating the southern Democracy,
victory is assured. The Fort Worth
Standard, i'm urging the southern
Democracy to stand by its colors,
says: 1.-THE sad experiences Of the
past thirteen years should be
warning to our people. by our own
strong arms, and i'm spite of the
power of the Federal Government,
we have succeeded i'm establishing
home rule and i'm driving from the
offices of honor and emolument the
organized bands Of thieves which
plundered us. Having achieved so
many victories, the Democracy is
not disposed TO disband, or To allow
parties composed Of all the discOrd-
ant elements, i'm which the Radical
element Is Incorporated, TO get pos
session OF our State Governments.
The Republican party IL not dead
in the South, neither is il asleep,
but under various names and phases,
to suit the tone and temper of the
people in different localities, its
leaven is acting upon the masses,
and il not boldly met, it may sue
Ceed i'm disOrganizing our party. IL
devOlVes upon the Democratic press,
sustained and supported by the
tried and true Democracy, TO wage
an aggressive campaign, and to
carry out the principles we have adj
vocated i'm the past, which isnOthiug
more nor less than equal and inn
partial justice to all classes, giving
ample protection 90 persona and
property, and maintaining thecredit
of the Government. In all our
platforms, both State and national,
we stand pledged to retrenchment
and reform, and to oppose gll class
legislation

EVERYBODY must admit the force
and truth of the following, which
we clip from the ST. Louis Evening
Post, an independent journal;
The Southern Congressman get
the better Of their opponents so In
variably i'm every form of debate or
discussion, that il dispOses very ef-
fectually of the pretense that the
Southern Democrats are not able to
send their proper representatives 10
Congress. At first the ex-Confede-
rates were little fierce, and injured
their cause very much by assuming
an attitude Of aggressive ferOcity
which was not justified by the cir
cumstances. But now the ferOcity
is all on the other side. All the
outbreaks of hate, malice, and Sec
tionalism have come from the Re
publicans, and we believe there is
not a single instance during the pres
ent session of a SOutherner attempt
ing to insult the feelings or wrong
the patriotism Of his fellOw-citizens
from another part Of the country.
The Blaines and HOwes have n
monopoly Of that sort Of thing, and
much good may IL do them.

BLIGmTENED nY THE FnOar.
Effect of the Cold Snap Upon the
Grain and Fruit Crops.


whaehington Special 70 the N. Y. Graphic.
There is no longer any possibility
OF Disgusting the fact that the late
cold snap has seriously damaged far
mers and gardeners in several states.
Dispatches received here show great
cause for alarm. The neach crop
will not be ruined but will be Sc
riOusly injured while the smaller
fruit is entirely lost in some lOcali-
ties. The cold weather of Saturday,
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and
the intervening nights resulted i'm
snow in Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, while ice there,
and in Northern New York formed
half an inch thick. From the West
comes reports of the killing Of small
fruit-strawberries, raspberries and
cherries-iTl some parts of Iowa,
Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan, while peach buds and
even apple buds were blasted here
and there. Michigan is the great
apple producer of the West, and re-
ports indicate her marketable crop
will not be greatly reduced.
Corn has suffered a littleand fields
here and there will need replanting,
but this crop is hardy and there Is
ample time to plant yet, so that il
is not not possible that the yield of
corn viii be greatly reduced.
Wheat is worse off. Spring wheat
"caught it'' i'm some parts Of Wis
cOnsin and Minnesota, the principal
spring wheat states, but the winter
wheat of lower latitudes generally
escaped. In Central Michigan ice
formed a quarter of an inch thick,
and the peaches of the State will be
a minus quality. In Central New
York large proportion Of the apple
buds are blasted, as they were much
exposed by the luxuriant growth
which the warm May stimulated.
1t is estimated that the loss along
the Central railroad and northward
will be millions of dollars.
The small fruit crop along the
Hudson was seriously Injured. In
some places the buds Of cherries,
plums, currants, pears and straw
berries were killed, and In most
all localities early vegetables suffer-
ed. Young grapes are badly blight
ed. Raspberries and blackberries
have generally escaped. Peaches
are almost entirely destroyed. Even
in the immediate vicinity of New
York, garden vegetables received
such a check that great loss is inevi-
table, and the markets will proba-
bly, be badly supplied at higher
prices.

FOR THE CHRONICLE.
We who have left thy clustered hills to roam
Have sought for and have found elsewhere
home,
But still have cherished the fond hope that
we,
Sometime, dear Clarksville, might revisit
thee
Ere yet the landmarks we from youth have
loved
By time and change and progress were re-
moved.
We heard with sad hearts of thy dire distress.
Language we feels too feeble to express
Our sympathy for thee, or our regret,
For hopes which, since thy woe, fore'er have
set
The sire fiend7 in wrath swept DER thy
head;
His footprints, left in ruins grim and dark,
With smouldering embers for his signet
mark;
He spared thee not, took from thee of thy
best,
And thy dear, homely Court House with the
rest.
Tween smiles and sighs we read of its sad
fate,
Though some its uncouth form did oft be-
rate
We always loved it for sweet memory's sake,
Whose treasures time from us can never
take.
We read with pride, of no wild, vain regret,
For loss thou couldst not help, and prOuder
yet
Felt of thy energy and brave resolve
To see thee from thy loss new growth evolve.
Wen ever think of thee with a warm glow
OF love and pride, dear c., for well we know
Thou1t, like the Phoenix, from thy ashes
rise,
And with new beauties greet thy sunny
skies. Ida Glenn.

there is beginning to be a movement
in political circles towards getting
up conventions and candidates for
our next Legislature, and we think
it behOoves the tax-paying and la
boring classes of our county to move
also, as they have an important in
terest to look after in the next Gen
eral Assembly of our State. The
writer has been through many of
the districts of our county and con-
versed with a large number of our
citizens, and find that you are the
choice of the people whithersoever
we have been, and regarded as the
true exponent of their political
views. Your platform of principles
relating to the financial troubles of
our State and county, so fearlessly
defended two years ago against the
Vaccinations of the bondholders
and their horde of mercenary allies,
has endeared you in the minds of
the people, and now points you out
as the man to represent their inter
ests in the next Legislature. There
never was a time in the history of
the country that demanded so forei-
bly, the selection by the people mot
politicians or packed conventions)
of such men for the Legislature as
will defy the honeyed overtures of
the many vampires and oppressors
of our country that infest the halls of
our State Legislature, obstructing
free and healthy legislations. The
many ugly complications, Difficult
ties and bearings outcropping from
OurState financial questions demand
the selection of men of a different
caste and persuasion from those that
have served us so unwisely and
faithlessly heretofore in bringing on
us our present financial troubles.
We know you are well acquainted
with the wants of our country, the
CALLING burthens imposed upon our
people by the mal-legislation Of mer-
cenary parties. We further know
that you have the interest and we'll
fare of your country at heart and
will use your utmost endeavOrs to
remedy the existing evils. We
therefore solicit you in behalf of a
large number of the citizens to be-
come a candidate to represent our
county in the lower branch of our
next Legislature. Yours respect

THE Southern Baptist Conven-
ton has just closed its twenty
third session in Nashville. The
American published brief sketches
of its ministers. The following is
what it says of our esteemed friend,
Prof. j. w. Rust of Hopkinsville,
KY:
This gentlemen, who is a re-
markable exemplification of sue
cess attained under great difficulties,
is one of the most prominent Bap-
lists in Kentucky, his native State.
Born Feb. II, 1919, he developed in
early life a fOndness for books,
although working on a farm until
he was fifteen. With three months
schooling in addition to private ap-
plication, he learned to read, write
and cypher. Without friends to
help or money to sustain him, he
determined to qualify himself to
teach, and such was his persistency,
energy, tact and sagacity, that, by
the time he had fairly reached man
hood, he had earned a reputation
as teacher, which was rewarded
with the unsolicited honor of A. NJ.
by two respectable colleges; and for
nearly forty years his success as a
teacher has been invariably great
and gratifying. From 1864 to 1868
he was President of Bethel College
at Russelville, and during his adj
ministratiOn, the college attained
its greatest patronage, As editor
of the Western Recorder, he be-
came a power among his brethren.
Although not a minister he has
done much to encourage the spread
of the Gospel as Sunday school
worker he has been very useful nor
has anyone done more than he to
keep Baptist interests before the
public. For several years he was
Secretary of the General Association
of Kentucky, and is now President
of Bethel Female College, at Hop
kinsville, KY, which, under his
care, Is in a flOurlshlng condition,
He is still eXerting a good influence
in behalf of education and Sunday
schools, being President Of the Sun
day School Convention of the Beth
el Association.
President Rust is an extraordinary
man in many respects, Of great YER
satility of talents, having succeeded
admirably in every sphere Of labor
it has been his lot TO occupy. He
is an excellent educator, and was a
superior editor. No man is more
universally popular in his native
State, Kentucky. Though not a
minister he is one Of the most prom
inent workers in the denomination.

Senator Conkling declares that he
Sknows" how theSouth was defrau-
ded of the force of its true Presiden-
tial votes in 1876. What Southern
voice, what Democratic voice, has
been raised except to bid him speak
and tell the country what he knows I?
The WORLD has seen with cordial
satisfaction the step taken by Mr..
DAILY in the Assembly at Albany to
enforce this demand upon Senator
COnkling, a witness not to be suspec-
ted, as a Democratic or a Southern
witness might be, of personal inter-
est in the demonstration of the great
wrongs done in 1876 to the South and
to the Democratic party. When New
York has made this call upon her Re
publican Senator, the inventor Ofthe

atOr has answered it, and proofs to
damn the Republican Administra-
tion at Washington into ''infamyp

it will be in order for the great
