Cyrus Field has bought the plat of land on
which, as tradition reports, John Andre was
hanged, and in due time slightly stone will
be erected and inscribed ut Fields sole ex-
pense, setting forth the English spy's virtues,
besides the principal inscription furnished by
Dean Stanley. Mr.. Field has decided to en-
rich the stone with appropriate quotations
from Virgil: Fenimore Cooper, George Wash
ton and Alexander Hamilton. Mr.. Fields
idea, as expounded by himself, is that spots
on which historical events have occurred
should be marked. He would do as much
in the case of Satan himself, he says, as he
has done In that of Andre. -. r..

a RattlIns Fight between Two Bull
Pups at Chicago.

CHICAGO, April I6.-About hundred
sports from Chicago gathered in the saloon
and a half from the city limits, yesterday
afternoon, to witness battle between two
feroeious bull pups. Officers of the Humane
society and police got wind of the affair, and
hack-load went out to enforce the majesty
of the law. They, however, became infatu.
ated with the sport, and renamed quietly in
the crowd, enjoying the sport until the fight
was ended. Sporting men say the yellow
dog, belonging to Chicago party, was the
victor, but Officer Dudley, of the Humane
society, asserts that the brindle pup from
New York chawed his antagonist in the best
style, and is entitled to the championship
belt. 10th dogs were very game, and the
admirable battle lasted over an hour. Off
GERS have sworn out warrants for the arrest of

the comptroller and treasurer, from which we
learn that he collected during the month the
amount OF five cents. Itrequired eight cents
to send the report and acknowledge its re-

Mr.. Tandy had talk to-day with Dr. Fred Doug

purpose OF having Mr., Douglass accompany him to
the President. Mr.. Douglass expressed the opinion
that some one not Identified with the 'old abolition
school" should go with him, and at the same time
gave NJ randy TO understand that he did favor the
stampede Of his race from the south but thought they
should remain where they are, and Ia the end they
would gain more than by leaving their homes. This

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1879
TIE ADVICE OF FRED DOUGLASS.

THE ADVICE OF FRED DOUGH- ASS.
The discomfort and inquietude of the col
ored people is attracting more attention and
importance than it deserves. The hard times
have produced much suffering and dissatis-
faction among the laboring whites through
out the whole country. Poor white women
who are fighting hunger with their needles
complain of their destiny. The laborlnR
classes who are unable to earn bread for the
support of themselves and their families are
discontented. For the past two years con-
slant stream of poor whites has poured into
Texas. They have heard that it was a State
rich in resources and of delightful climate,
and there has been constant tide of emil
grafton from North Carolina, Virginia, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee to
Texas. Every train of cars entering the
State is packed and crammed with a seeth-
ing mass of white emigrants, dressed in rags
and rioting in filth. The exodus OF the whites
excites no ympathy-produces not ripple
upon the smooth stream of current thought.
But when few negroes emigrate to Kansas,
the whole country is excited and ready
to ameliorate the condition of the poor
blacks, as if they were any better than the
poor whites, who are rushing to Texas, with
out caring for tthe suffering and want they
are forced to endure. The loss which the
south sustains by the removal of these dis
contented blacks has been greatly exagger:
ated. Indeed it is no less at ar for thu
negroes wig make good citizens and con
by their labor to the agriculture
wealth of the south are quiet and contented
have accumulated property, and are sur
rounded with the ordinary comforts of tn
laborers of other sections of the Union
while those who have enigrated are worth
less vagabonds, nuisance to the communit.
from which they have removed, and vii
prove a curse to the community In whlcl
they locate The loss of just such laborer
as have removed to Kansas is a happy rid
dance to the south. But the APPEAL op
poses the exodus OF the blacks
knowing that they are bringing upol
themselves untold misery. It i
silly, downright idiocy for th
blacks to abandon plantations wher
the owners are begging Their
to take employment by which they have 70
ten years made a comfortable living, an
rush of among strangers where they can I'm
no employment, and where, by the chea
labor they viii be forced to adopt, they wi

with few exceptions, the best of thu
receipts, and went through as dcs
tined, but few being put on thi:
market. Prices were &c off for the
best grades and &c off on the Others
with exceptional cases where &
lower figures were accepted to effect
sales. We quote at Pass per 1OC
lbs, but few selling at the latter
price.
Mich Cows.-Thc demand is
improving as far as good Cows arc
concerned. We quote ut 20aSl;
