End of the Chicago Contest.

CHICAGO, May 81. - The walking
match was finished shortly before y
o'clock tonight, with the following re-
suit: Parry. 26S miles; John Dobler,
alias Dolan, 2G5; Banks, 254; Sherry,
243. Parry gets the belt and $1,000;
Dobler gets $500; Banks $3.50, and Sher-
ry Sl5O. A protest was entered on be-
half Of Dobler that Parry's trainer
walked with him, but there is no prob
ability that it will be entertained.
Trouble was threatened early in the
evening by Dobler's friends, but the
match was quiet and orderly at the
close. George -Guyon has al
ready challenged the winner,
and it is understood O'Leary
will contest the right OF Parry to hold
the belt in a match to be made at an
early date. A charge is made that
the reason for the sudden and uneX.
pected falling behind on the part Of
Dobler, Whose real name is LOlan) Is
that Jerry Monroe, notorious sporting
character here, became interested IN
beating him and therefore got him
chloroformed about 6 o'clock. Monroe
denies this but the evidence is pretty
strong against him, and it is certain that
chloroiOrm was used with effect.

GENERAL GRANT.
His Reception i'm China.

HoNa KONG, May S.-Grants visit
absOrbs public attention everywhere.
He arrived on Friday evening April p,
in the French mail steamship, lronaddy.
He was invited, with party, by Admiral
Laforde, to sojourn at the Government
house, and passed the night there. The
next day, they visited the public build
ings and places OF interest. There was
a public levee on the 26th, the guests
returning to the ship at midnight, and
the voyage was resumed on the 9th.
They reached Hong Kong on the even
ing Of April 30th. The ship was at once
boarded by United States Consuls
Mosby, of Hong Kong, Lincoln, OF
Canton, Charge D'Affaires Halcombe,
and deputation of citizens OF
various countries, including Japan.
The party of visitors proceeded the
same evening to the United States ship
Ashulot. A salute OF twenty-oue guns
was fired. Alter refreshments they
went on shore in the colonial govern
ment launch amid renewed salutes from
the Ashulot and the japanese curvette
Nishin, and were received at the decor
ated landing pier by Gov. Hennessy
and staff, the members OF the legisla-
lative council, heads of the military
and naval service, a guard of honor and
a multitude OF American, European
and Chinese spectators.

Japan.

YOKOHAMA, May l6.-Preparations
continue for Grants reception on a
grand scale. Several high officials have
been added to the committee of recep-
ton. The iron-clad steamer Fooso, the
finest in the Japanese navy, has been
dispatched to Nagasiki to await his arri-
val. There the party will be invited to
leave the Ashutot and take up quar-
tefs on board the japanese flagship
as the guest Of His Imperial Majesty.
The present expectation is that Grant
will proceed by sea from Nagasiki to
Hiogo, and thence through Kioto, the
ancient capital, by land three hundred
miles to Toxic. Nothing, however, is
positively decided. From appearances
now he will not reach the japanese seat
of government before July.

their territory was desirable for colonization
and that they were not sufficiently powerful
TO resist. The same reasons will, in all hui
man probability, add the Orange State to
EnQland's South African colonies before
many years, and the good people of that
country may as well be preparing themselves
for the inevitable, instead of affording pre-
texts for a quarrel to an interruptions neigh
Dor, by a somewhat ill-timed exhibition of
syn1pathy with other victims of its rapacity.
The untoward events of the Zulu war have
put the English in bad humor, which has
not been improved by the unfriendly attitude
of the Dutch in Transvaal and the Orange
Free State; and it is not good policy for the
latter to increase the irritation. They are not
strong enough to be able to afford it.

Curtis on Grant,

The echoes of the ''boom" have reached
the civil-service-reform ears of Mr.. William
Curtis, and he responds as follows in Harp
er's Weekly: "Under the actual circum-
stances, it is undoubtedly better for the Re-
publicans that their candidate should be a
civilian, not open to the suspicion of prefer
ring military traditions and methods, wholly
free from the entangling associations of two
terms of administration, and not exposed to
the fixed objection to more than two terms.
That the personal popularity of General
Grant would so far transcend such conside-
rations as to make HIM incomparably the
most desirable candidate has not been es-
tablIshed. That he should be nominated as
kind of dictator or savior of society, upon
the theory that new armed rebellion is inn
minent, is absurd, because it is a confession
that we are already in a chronic condition of
revolution and anarchy. That he is the most
popular Republican among the politicians,
and therefore the most prominent candidate,
is not a valid argument for his availability in
the canvass. While party opinion is form
ing, and no action has yet been taken, it is
the highest duty of Republicans to consider
what will most surely secure the triumph of
their principles, and not to let everything
drift because of a desperate feeling that
nothing can be done. Nothing, certainly,
can be done by those who neither believe or
try

MEMPHIS APPEAL

JUNE 10, 1879.
srHE OHIO CA1IPAIGN.

The eyes of the whole country are turned
upon Ohio. This State is considered as the
battle-ground for the next Presidential cleo
ton, and, of course, the result will be watched
with eager avidity. The Democrats can elect
a President, as they did in the last contest,
without Ohio; but the Republicans cannot
spare this State, and, if in the election for
governor this fall the Democrats should carry
Ohio, the result of the next Presidential cleo
ton will be considered as settled. Since the
nomination of Ewing and Rice, both Federal
generals, in opposition to the Republican can
dIdates, both Of whom are civilians, we have
watched the drift of public sentiment, and
it encourages US in the belief that Ewing
and Rice will lead the Democrats
to victory. The Democrats in and out Of
Ohio are sanguine. The Republicans in and
out of the State are respondent. The New
York Times says: "Mr. Foster forms truer
estimate of his opponent, and of the gravity
of the contest on which Ohio is entering,
than is current among the superficial takers
on both sides. He does not depreciate Mr..
Ewing's candidacy; he does not assume that
Republican victory is certain. Without be-
ing personally great or strong, Mr.. Ewing
derives unquestioned strength from his devo-
ton to a principle that will be fought for
with the ardor of ianaticism. The principle
is unsound and mischievous, but a man who
is everywhere recognized as its unhinching
representative is not a man to be easily over
come. Moreover, It is necessary constantly
to remember that the Democratic and Green
back parties, united, outnumber the Repubh-
cans, and that the chances of the latter to a
large extent depend on the maintenance of
the Greenback organization, intact, as a third
party, or on the abandonment of the Demo-
cratic ticket by a number of hardmoney
Democrats large enough to counterbalance
the Democratic gain from the accession Of
Greenback voters. Contingencies so obvi-
Gus render absurd the exultation in
which some Republicans have INDUCED -
The causes which the Times apprehends
will no doubt secure the election of Ewing.
He Is popular with his own party-will Sc
cure every Democratic vote, and is 50 popular
with GreenbackeTs, whether of Democratic
or Republican proclivities, that they will vote
for him rather than see the election of a
IlCASe dfoWeoiy nosIllo 10 tne VIEWS WHICH
they and Ewing entertain. Taking every
thing into consideration, the opening Of the
canvass In Ohio seems most favorable for q
great triumph in October. Ewing Is bril-
liant speaker, an energetic canVasser, and
very powerful ON the stump. General Rice
is also one of the best speakers IN the State,
and, like Ewing, is a representative in con-
cyreaS he Loaf q lac, IN tLa NOR Tho Dam
ocrats have the advantage of the Republicans
in both men and the issues before the people,
and we believe they will sweep the State.
Such result would bring new men TO the
front as candidates for the Presidency.

THE PEACH CROP,

Notwithstanding the predictions of the
croaking Cassandras, there will be nearly an
average peach crop in the south. The trees
are reported as not loaded down, but bearing
just enough fruit to give it size and luscious
ness. We have reports from various peach
growing regions which are conflicting. In
Maryland and Delaware it is SAID the forth
coming peach crop will be short one. Not
withstanding this report, the lovers of the
luscious fruit need have but little fear that
there will not be a sufhciency to satisfy their
demands. The same reports of failure of
the crop have been made time and again, and
time and again failed of fulfllment. Whether
similar failure will attend the present prog
nostications remains to be seen. A few
months more and all questions as to the yield
of peach trees will be definitely settled. I'M
til then those who are interested must bide
their time, and undoubtedly they will find
that the crop has been fully up to the average
and that the fears of its failure have been al
most entirely unfounded.

Miss Nelson ReIgns Supreme.

London Mayfair is responsible for the fol-
lowing: Miss Nelson, who has hitherto re-
ceived in England only the ordinary atten-
ton which is due to good actress, is rapidly
becoming the lioness of the season, rice Mrs.
Langtry, snuffed out. People will go to the
Adelphi to see fifteen thousand pounds ster
ling worth of diamonds who would not go
there to see Julia. l don't know how Miss
Nelson managed eventually to bestow these
diamonds about her dress, but Nine. White,
the cOstouiere, fatty declined TO trust her
young ladies with stones Of such value, fear
ing probably that even the ease and opulence
of a milliner apprentice would not place
them quite beyond the bounds OF tempta-
uion." Again: ''The black horse, black
habit and raven tresses of Miss Nelson which
now appear so attractive to the .jeunesse do
rec of the Row, will perhaps also succeed in
altering the hours for riding. Miss Nelson's
professional engagements force her to leave
the park about five o'clock, and when the
light goes out it can hardly be expected that
many will remain to grope in darkness.

An Indebted new Jersey city.

st Louis Republican: 1.-The indebted cities
of New jersey are having hard time of it.
Situated near New York, they plunged reck-
lessly into the business of issuing bonds eight
or ten years ago, in the expectation that they
could make themselves rich and invite the at
tributes of metropolis by simply contracting
debts. But payday came, and they had
nothing to pay with. Their creditors are now
suing them, and, as their treasures are
empty, it is not easy to conjecture how the
matter will end. The Singer sewing machine
company has brought SUIT against the city OF
Elizabeth for nearly 100000 bonds held by
it, On which default has been made; the Mu-
tual Benefit life insurance company has fol-
lowed with suit for $780,, ZOO; another cred
itor sues for 100000, and still another for
$4,000, making an aggregate of 81 ,6l5,000
which the courts are asked to force the city to
pay. AS the city authorities have not shown
any disposition to make provision for the
debts, the courts will probably issue execu-
tons. Then the proceedings viii be interest,"
