NEMPHIS APPEAL


TIE communication published else whore in
regard 10 VIM. b. Waldran announcing him
self candidate for clerk CT the county court,
will attract general interest, as our corre-
spondent expresses the universal feeling of
regret which Is felt at Mr.. Waldran's course.
The people of Shelby county entertain great
respect for Mr.. Waldran. They sympathise
with him in the misfortunes which have over
taken him in his declining years, and would be
glad of an opportunity to show their appre-
citation of his character. But they have no
sympathy with him in aliying himself with
those he has heretofore opposed. Mr.. Wal
dram is an intelligent, cool, calm, deliberate
gentleman. But he will regret the course he
has adopted. The communication which we
publish is written by Mr.. Waldran's per-
sonal friend-an old citizen of Memphis-but
who reflects the voice of the united Democracy
OF Shelby county in expressing determine
ton to stand by the nominees of the party,
regardless of the fancied wrongs of men who
seek place without caring for the voice of
the people, as expressed through their pri-
mary elections and nominating conventions.
The high character of MIR. Waldran has in
spired the Radicals and the repudiated
oifice-seeking Democrats with the belief
that they will secure that power for which
they yearn. But they will discover that the
character of Mr.. Waldran, high as It's known
- be, is not sufficient to destroy the organi-
zltionlof the unconquerable Democracy. The
Republicans dare not enter the field with the
banner under which they have been defeated
so often since the tax-paying people were en-
franchised, and hope, under the lead of such
disaffected Democrats as William B. Wal
dram, to compass their ends. But they will
be mistaken. TIE contest Will be bold, fear
less and aggressive. A ticket will be placed
in the field by the Democrats, composed of
men the equal of Mr.. Waldan socially, po-
litically, and possessing all the integrity and
capacity for dischargiug the duties of the
offices to which they will be nominated.
and what is more, they intend to elect this

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
TIE Great Solar Phenomena which Will
Occur on the Twenty-Ninth Of
JuIy-InstructiOns for
Observers.

A pamphlet is just issued from the United
States nautical almanac offic, at Washing
ton, in which Prof. Newcomb gives particu-
lars for this country Of the total solar eclipse
to take place July Doth. Maps are furnished
for the line of totality, which extends over
the western end of Montana, across the yell
lowstone National park, through Wyoming
Territory, over Denver, Colorado, down
through northern and eastern Texas, enter
ing the Gulf of Mexico between New Orleans
and Galveston. 1t will then pass over most
Of Cuba and the southern portion of Santo
Domingo, vanishing from ealth shortly af-
terward. The breadth of the totality shad-
ow in this country will be about one hundred
and sixteen miles. The partial eclipse will
extend all over the United States, Mexico
and British America Instructions are given
by which unskllled observers, possessed of a
spy-glass and watch, may make observa-
tons on this eclipse along the line of totahty,
that are likely to be of use if sent to Wash
ington. 1t is mentioned incidentally that the
present astronomical tables are so uncertain
that there is difference of four miles in the
path of the shadow as given respectively by
the British and American nautical alma
macs. The pamphlet includes diagram of
the place of important stars which may be
seen near the sun during the moments of
eclipse, and suggests that sharp lookout
should be then kept for intra- Mercurial plan
cts. People who have faculty for rapid
sketching are advised now to make drawings
of the corona. All the suggestions of the
pamphlet are simple and may be carried out
with little trouble by those who are favora-
bly, situated as to locality.

THE GREAT WAR
Between the Denver and RiO Grande
and santa Fe Railway Companies
Practically Ended.

TOPEKA, June ga special dispatch to
the Commonwealth says the great railway war
that has been raging In Colorado for the past
two months has been brought 20 practical
termination by concurrent decision rendered
Saturday by Judges Dillon and Hallett. The
controversy has been between the Denver
and Rio Grande company and the Santa Fe
company over the possession OF the Grand
canon of the Arkansas river for the purpose
of connecting their respective lines. The
canon Is very narrow, and 1t Is walled very
high, SO that practically but one road bed can
be built through. For this reason it is pass
of great strategetic Importance, as controlling
railroad improvements in western and south
western Colorado. The Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe company or either the Canon
City and San Juan railroad, local corpora
ton organized IN the interest of the former
company, filed a plat of its located line
through the canon in the spring Of 1877, and
it was approved by the secretary of the inte-
rior. The rival company based its claims on
a special franchise granted by congress in
1872. In April last both companies moved
simultaneously large forces of workmen and
commenced grading through the canon. AS
both companies seemed determined to hold
possession it gave rise to great excitement,
and for time bloodshed was imminent The
matter was, however, speedily carried to the
circuit court of the United States for Colora-
do, and upon application of each of the COM
panies an injunction against each other for
the temporary restricting of orders were is
sued until the matter could be fully and ma
turely considered. The result is that Judges
Dillon and Hallett have decided that the
prio- right of occupation is with the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe company, and that
the Denver and Rio Grande company has &C
CURED no particular way through the canon.
The former company is now in possession of
the disputed ground, with a large force of
workingmen grading an extension of its line
to Laadville. The Denver and Rio Grande
have quietly withdrawn their forces. The
decision is regarded as a signal victory for
the Sante Fe railroad company.

I'VE all felt happy and Captain Dodd, the

TERRIBLE STORM.
Houses, Fences and Timber Blown
Down, and General Destruction
Nobody Killed.

Searcy (Ark.) Record: About ten o'clock
on the evening of the eighteenth ultimo, the
northern part of our county was visited by a
terrible cyclone, which did much damage to
property in that section, blowing down
houses, fen ,es, timber, and everything In its
course. All the men In the neighborhood
have been busy ever since repairing damages
to their own and their neighbors' property,
which, we suppose, is the reason why we
dIdn't hear it sooner. To Mr.. j. P. Adcock,
one of the sufferers, we are indebted for an
account of the storm. He says it came from
the southwest, and was preceded and accom-
panied by the 6ercest lightning and most APP
palling thunder he ever saw or heard. The
clouds, he says, looked like the smoke from
tar kiln. and everything was as black as night.
When it struck Sugar-Loaf mountain 1t d.
vided, and reunited on the other side, went
roaring up the river toward Batesvile, carry
ing destruction In its path. The wind lasted
but few minutes, and then it set into rain
ing, and rained all the evening and night.
1t was regular cyclone-a northumberland
piled the trees in every direction. The last
Mr.. Adcock heard of the storm was that it
had swept things generally up on Greenbrier,
this side of Batesville. Farmers there who
had new grounds in cultivation will be COM
PEELED to give them up, it being Impossible to
get the logs off In time to cultivate their
crops. The storm cut a swath from quar-
Ter 10 nal1 mile Dfoad. some sGoch was
killed, but no human lives were lost that we
have heard of. Mr. Turney had a horse

king took Mr.. Marion Chambers
house-top with him, and scattered his timber
and fencing promiscuously. 1t blew off the
roof of Mr.. Adcock's dwelling and out
houses, and blew down his fences. At the
Cation place much damage was done to tim
Der and fencing. Mr.. Mart HunsucAer's
place was literally torn to pieces-his dwell
ing and outhouses being completely wrecked.
His wife was in the house, nursing baby;
joist fell on each side of them, catching them
as in a trap. Fortunately neither was killed,
though Mrs. Hunsucker received some inju
ries from the falling timbers-not very sen-

will long remember it. We had fearful ex-
perience in that line once ourselves, and

NO WONDER THEY soUIRM.

the milk in the cocoanut Is at last account
ed for. The new revelations already made
by the Potter investigating committee ex-
plains the bitter opposition to the investiga-
ton as manifested by Key and other Radi
Gals. Tie disclosures are most damning.
They connect John Sherman with the con-
spiracy. Anderson, In his testimony, estaD-
fishes beyond the possibility Of doubt the
fraud by which Tilden was cheated out of
the electoral vote of Louisiana. He swears
that the election in his parish was free and
fair, and that he could not conscientiously
make a protest to the contrary, as urged to
do by the Louisiana Republicans and the Wis
iting statesmen; that the document he did
sign, and which formed the excuse upon
which the returning board threw out the vote
of East Feliciana parish, was altered after it
left his hands; that John Sherman and Stan
ley Mathews, acting, as they led him to be-
lieve, for Hayes, besought him to 'tstand
by the Republican party, promising that he
should be provided for stand by" being
understood to mean to act so that
the State be thus given to Hayes. This
investigation will throw a calcium-light upon
many dark places, and the administration
will be overwhelmed with disgrace. 1t Is said
that the disclosures already made have had a
most bewildering effect upon Republican lead
ers, and that there is CONSERVATION and con-
fusion among the visiting statesmen. The
general opinion at Washington is that Sher-
man will be impeached. An effort will be
made TO break down Anderson's testimony,
but it Is said he will be corroborated by other
testimony, which will make his position i'm
pregnable. The proceedings of the investi-
eating committee will be intensely interest
ing. 1t is said the disclosures already made
are but the trickling of the drop ere the burst
ing of the fountain, the breeze that precedes
the storm. When the exposures in Florida
commence it is said there will be richness.
Everywhere the Democrats are jubilant and
the Republicans are squirming like worms
in hot ashes. The great majority of the
people of this country are already convinced
that frauds were perpetrated; that the elect
oral commission knew it,; and knowing it,
counted the fraudulent vote for Hayes. But
the resolution aims at the principal workers
of the Frauds at the visiting statesmen"
who put them through and received their re-
ward in cabinet appointments and foreign
missions. 1t may be possible to plead that
Mr.. Hayes was not party to the villainies
that were wrought in his name, but that plea
cannot be set up in behalf of the men who
transacted the business Sufficient evidence
of their guilt has already been brought for
ward to make the Investigations necessity.
1t ought to go to the bottom. But congress
ought not to rely on exposing past frauds; it
ought also to take steps to prevent their re-
currence. A committee on this subject has
been sitting for months, and has brought for
ward some measures, but there seems to be
no present purpose TO pass any of them.
