Houston Telegram, 9TH: The widow of
General Van Dorm married a Mr.. Bird, of
Wilson county, Texas, after the war. She is
dead. His children now live in that county.
If General Joseph Wheeler, who advertised
for these children, will write to the authori-

Last Saturday difficulty occurred in Far

taking effect in the neck and ranging down

his true name or where his family lived.

is well-watered by never. ceasing wells of

people quiet and law-abiding.
Houston Telegram. 7th: If Senator Max
ey's figures are correct, Texas will show
population of two million eight hundred and
fifty thousand in 1880, without counting the
children born between now and then. If
that is true, there will not be more than two
or three States ahead Of ours at that time.
AT the rate we are now increasing, we will
lap and pass New York inside of ten years
and stand at the head of the Union. This is
obliged to be in very few years. New York
is finished country, while Texas is only very
sparsely settled. The lands of the former are
comparatively poor to ours, and have not
near the capacity to support life. While New
York presents no inducements whatever to
poor immigrant, Texas offers everything he
wants-land, water, timber, climate, health.

was. Young married man living on Stevens
street. a few doors north of Eleventh, in that
CITY He and his family moved to Covington
from the neighborhood of West Liberty, Ohio,
lately. He was a travelling jewelry salesman
or dealer, and was IN New Orleans last
month plying his vocation: On the twenty
sixth he left there on the Charles Morgan for
home. having previously on that day written
his wife that he was going to do something
he had never done beforc-take deck passage.
He had bought a new suit OF clothes before
leaving but he wore his old ones, and the
new suit came home in his trunk. The boat

thai asv nn.-ek met his death. The boat pro.
c ce 70 Paducah, nd about ten miles fur,
ther M. where Rusk's remaln@9 were buried
ON an island, the boats officers explalnI-oo 10
his wife, on their arrival here, that the boat
had no ice with which 70 preserve the re-
mains. This statement in itself has look of
improbabllity, though, of course, It may have
been the truth. Rusk S friends have inform
alton that his remains will show broken
skull, protruding brain, and an arm broken
in two places, and that there was
only seventy-fve cents found on his person
after death. The Charles Morgan reached
here at one o clock Tuesday morning, but the
hapless wife, now a widow, was not informed
of her awful bereavement until seven O'Clock
that evening, eighteen hours after the arrival,
and then she was informed by Coyington
undertaken. She had sat up all the night be-
fore waiting for her husband. She went over
to the boat next day and was supplied with
twelve or fourteen dollars in money by some
of the boats officers, though upon what pre-
tense and for what reason we did not learn.
On Friday last the captain and mate visited
Mrs. Rusk at her home, in CovIngton, and
gave her fifteen dollars in money and a ticket
to her Ohio home. They wanted her to sign
a paper generating the boat from any fault.
She declined to Sign and then refused the
proffered gifts. This is the story told by the
friends of the family. Rusk is a member OF
the Ancient Order of United Worknien, IN
good standing, and some of his brethren in
Covlngton are resolved to fathom the mystery
of his death and bring to justice the wrong
doors, if there be any. What have the Charles
Morgan officers to say on the subject?

John sherman and JAY Cooke.

Washington special to the Chicago Times:
1t is now stated upon good authority that
when Jay Cooke & Co. failed, during the
panic of 1873, and their affairs were being
wound up by Receiver Stanton, it was dis
covered that John Sherman was stakeholder
in the concern to the amount of one hundred
thousand dollars. AS it was the duty of the
receiver to bring action against all stockhold-
ers alike for the benefit of depostors, Mr..
Stanton wrote to the supreme court of this
district, calling attention to the fact that Mr..
Sherman's name appeared upon the list of
stockholders, and asking information what
should be done In the case. Mr.. Sherman
was at that time chairman of the senate COM
mittee on finance, aud, upon learning of the
matter, he addressed letter to the court on
the subject. In this letter Sherman repre-
sents that while he did appear nominally as
owner of this stock. yet he had never derived
any actual benefit from it, and to be held
responsible because he appeared merely as
nominal stakeholder would he to inflct a
great hardship upon him. The matter was
kept very quiet at the time, and Mr.. Sher-
man was not prosecuted. He did not deny
that he was not nominally a stakeholder, but
left the question unexplained as to how he
became possessed of that stock

shipments, regarded as so much Of encour-
aging evidence of improved methods of farm
ing by our indefatigable commissioner, as
follows. To Louisville was shipped 1914
boxes of fruits; to Cincinnati, 1923 boxes;
Chicago, 1862 boxes; indianapolis, 2505
boxes; Vincennes, l40; Terre Haute, 10. The
shipments from Memphis, of fruits and
vegetables, by the Louisville route, in the
months of May and June are given as follows:
To Louisville, Kentucky-potatoes in bar

Ohio-potatoes in barrels, Sl2; peas in boxes,

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-07-12

To be added to this there ~eFe no doubt
shipments by the Charleston road and by the
river, aud we are credibly informed that if
the Paducah road was finished as much more
would have to be reported of shipments
north as the Louisville road reports, our river
counties being especially prolific in all those
small things which, IS we see by the figures,
count for something when whole sections of
the State contribute. We commend the fig
ures of Mr.. Killebrew to the farmers in the
country tributary to Memphis. They speak
more eloquently than theory, of which plan
tiers have altogether too much. The figures
represent facts-the facts of industry in the
field, backed by an intelligent determination
after results, and the fact of ready money in
the farmers pocket, without the aid of shaver
or note broker, his own money, the proceeds
of his sknllful labor. They point, these facts
do, to the only road to independence for our
farmers.

Postmaster General Key Now and

General Key said the other day to the Wash

Times, in regard to the Potter investigation
80, that's foolish piece of business, and
the committee isn't doing anything. They
haven't found anything yet; never will find
anything That's my idea. The Democrats
made great mistake. | notice that Alex
ander Stephens, Mills, of Texas, and others
who voted against Potter's resolution are be-
ing received very enthusiasticall by their peo-
pie. The investigation has developed ras
cally crowd, and that's about all. Mrs. jerks
is great one. isn't she? General Butler

Not doing any hing" but "the investi-
cation has developed a rascally crowd. y"
Judge Key should tie more guarded in his ex-
pressions. He said few weeks ago that the
investigation would bring about ''bloody
civil war" "unset lie the business of the
country etc., etc. Now the investigation Is
''doing nothing" but 'derelop TaScally
crOtcd." The postmaster general is right.
That was the design of the investigation, just
to develop rascally crowd, and show the
character of the Republican leaders who ran
the machinery offraud and perjury, by which
Tilden was robbed of his majority. Judge
Key should remember that John Sherman is
in that crowd he mentioned, and his brother
Sherman in fact was at the head and front of
the louisiana frauds. Instead of the inves-
tigating committee 'doing nothing it seems
from Judge Keys own language that it is do
ing good deal. The ''rascally crowd" is
Just what the committee is after.

Theresa,s Marrfaoe

New York Sun: The theatrical sensation
of Paris is the marriage Of Theresa. She is
going to wed a second-rate comic actor of the
Theater de lAthenee, a very handsome fell
low, some ten years younger than she is. The
gay songstress is native of Eure Loire,
the daughter of village fiddler and for
tune teller. AS child of six she was a
travelling dancer, subsequently an apprentice
to mIlliner, ballet-glrl at the Porte Saint
Martin, a cashier at the Cafe Frontin, then a
comic singer at the old Cafe Moka, and final
ly at the Eldorado where her triumphs be-
gan. She is about forty-ive years of age.

of million francs, which is not quite as
much as woman of incomparably less tai

in very few years. The first appearance of
Theresa Valadan before the Partisan public
was in 1856. Her celebrity dates from 1860,
aud, strange as it may seem, part of it is due
to Nine. Viardot, who was a great admirer
of Theresa's art in phrasiDg a song:

THE FREIGHT DETERMINATION.

II m D1SC4k1 10
We have kept our readers acquainted with
the freight extortion practiced by st. Louis
company upon the merchants of Memphis,
and we have this morning to announce still
further infection upon the trade of Memphis
from the same source. Merchants here re-
ceived bills of lading yesterday of shipments
made July 9th, on the Grand Tower, at the
rate of thirty cents barrel. This is total
advance of ten cents, and five cents above
the rate we reported yesterday. The river is
in good navigable condition, and this heavy
advance is a mere arbitrary act of the St.
LOUIS company. Such proceedings as this
are determining our merchants to cultivate
trade with Cincinnati, and so destroy the
monopoly we have permitted St. Louis to en-
Joy, and which has been so selhshly abused.
Our chamber of commerce recently appointed
a strong committee on the subject of freight
discrimination; that committee has taken the
st. Louis extortion under consideration, and
has forwarded to that city letter, of which
the following is a copy:
MEMPHIS, July 10, 1878.
Captain John A. Scudder, President of the Mem
DEAR SIR-The undersigned, freight COM
mittee of the Memphis chamber of COM
merce, respectfully call your attention to the
appended freight rates, as copied from late
st. LOUIS paper. (Here follow the rates
The injustice of this tariff, by which Mem
phis is charged higher rate of freight than
is charged to Vicksburg, New Orleans or in
termediate points, is too manifest to require
argument or comment. We cannot but re-
gard it as very great wrong perpetrated
upon the merchants and business men gener
ally of this city, and we respectfully but
earnestly urge such an early adjustment of
this tariff as will give to Memphis people
freight rates proportioned according to dis
lance from ST. Louis, assimilatiug to rates
charged to Vicksburg and New Orleans. So
Letting an early reply, we are, very truly.

AT SIERRA LEONE.

The arrival at Sierra Leone occurred May
18th. Mr.. Williams says: 1.-The hills about
Sierra Leone came in sight at nine o'clock,
and now at two o'clock in the evening, they
are plainly to be seen with the naked eye,
Everybody is singing. dancing and shouting,
and people are constantly running to my
cabin window or door announcing that they
can see houses and trees. Some seem almost
wild with Joyous excitement at seeing some
thing besides sky and water. at four o'clock
the town (Freetown) was In plain sight and
several fishing boats sailed out past US, one
or two coming quite close. Those aboard of
them must have supposed that the Azor con-
tanned the inmates of a lunatic asylum out
for an airing, from the scrambling, rushing,
shouting and vociferous laughing of the pas
sengers, as well as from the variety of aprons,
Skirts hats, rags and handkerchief waved at
them. Soon alter dark the deputy harbor-
master came out In a neat little gig, pulled
by two black oarsmen, in sailor dress. He
himself was a tall, well-made man, a good
looking quadroon, very officerlike in spotless
duck pants and vest with brass buttons,
loose blue coat and official cap. As he went
into the captains cabin the passengers clus-
tered about the windows and knocked their
heads together trying to get glipse OF this
prodigy, and discussing warmly and audibly
whether he was a yellow fellow" or merely
white man tanned by tropical sun. The
officer asked few questions as to what was
wanted, etc, touched his cap and walked
back over the side. He was very respectful.
The captain has decided, in view OF the I'M
certain state of the weather and his passen-
gers health, to be lowed to Monrovia by the
mail steamer. We will leave here at an early
hour tomorrow.
