Mr.. JOHN MCCULLOUGH, the eminent ira
gedian who followss so closely in the footsteps
of Edwin Forrest, and who justly enjoys a
great reputation as an artist, has unusual
claims upon the people of this city. He was
foremost among the actors and actresses who
during the epidemic CT last fall gave
OF their money and Their efforts to In
crease the fund contributed to so generously
by the people of the north and the west. In
New York Mr.. Mccullough gave a benefit
for Memphis exclusively, and aiterward in
Chicago for the general yellow-iever fund, of
which Memphis had a large share. These
benefits were the spontaneous offerings of a
noble nature. of a heart and head thoroughly
attuned to all that is elevaling, all that evil
dences the best traits Of good soul-one full
of sympathy, that is moved by the tenderest
emotions and is only subordinated to a will
that Is strong for all that is right, just and
t-ae. The man who plays "Virglnius" so
as to arouse his audiences to a sense of the
tenderness and strength of a Roman fathers
love, and his heroic sacrifice of self in defense
of virtue, must have the stuff in him Of which
such fathers are made; and Mccullough has.
Such is the testimony Of the press and the
people of the United States. His heart is as
large as his genius Is comprehensive, and as
great as the conceptions Of character which
have elevated him TO place among the first
actors of his time

THE PRESIDENCY.
What Five OF the Tennessee Congress-
men Think About the Candidates,
land who is Likely to be
the Man.

The New York Herald, of Saturday pub
fishes the results of interviews by its Wash
ington correspondent with the Democratic
members of the house as to the Presidency
and the man most likely to be nominated for
it, from which we extract the following:
TENNESSEE.
Mr.. George G. Dibrell, third district, says:
81 am for Thurman first last and all the
time. / speak my individual preference in
this. Hendricks has many friends in Ten
nessee. In short, think the delegation will
be divided. Tilden Is not without friends in
any State. Two newspapers in my district
have come out for him recently. | think,
however, he is not the choice Of the majority
of the Democrats of the State We have a
great nany greenbackers in Tennessee, and
they are all opposed to Tilden."
Mr.. J. NJ. Bright, of the fifth district says:
at We (the Democracy nominate Iilden we
will be beaten, and | am not for him. The
people of my section prefer a western man"
Mr.. John +. House, of the sixth district,
says; "Tilden's nomination is altogether i'm
practicable; there are good many western
and southern States we could not carry for
him. Our people prefer western man. As
to the greenback movement in Tennessee, 1t
depends a great deal on the nomination we
make in 1880 whether 1t will hurt the Demo-
Gratis or not"
Mr.. w. G. Whitthorne, seventh Tennessee
district, says: "The Democracy of my dis
trict favor the nomination of any western
man in accord with the greenback platform
Of the southern Democracy. Personally l
have at all times preferred western man
because he would represent the interests of
the producer as against the middleman and
consumer. | think, however, there is grow
ing sentiment among the masses in favor of
the denomination of Mr.. Elden. General
Grant would, in my opinion, at one and the
same time be the strongest and weakest can
dIdate the Republicans could nominate, and
this is also true OF Mr.. TiIden."
Mr.. Casey Young, tenth district: 81 do
not know much about the sentiment of peo-
pie at home. Unless there has been a recent
change there are very few for Tilden. The
south, however, will vote for anybody the
Demo ratio party dominates. If l had the
nomination Of the ticket l would place either
Thurman or Bayard at the head of it, and
give Bill Holman, of Indiana, second place.
] consider Judge Holman the leading states
man of the day, and would propose him for
the head of the ticket, but there is no posi-
bil;fv of tbjc nomination "

sLOP-FED CATTLE.
1T. Louis Denies that attic shipped
from that Market are FED on
Stops. or Diseased.

ST. LOUIS, March 10.-The New York
Herald, of the SIXTH containing letter charg-
ing that slop-fed and diseased cattle are
shipped from the national stock yards here
to New York and other eastern markets, has
arrived here and produced great indignation,
not only among the officers OF the yards, but
cattle dealers generally, and all assert most
positively that the statements in the letter are
false in every particular, and were doubtless
fabricated to damage or destroy the export
trade In American cattle. Isaac J. Knox,
vice president, authorizes the statement that
slops haye never been fed in the national
yards since their opening, In 1873, and DUR
ing all that time not one hundred head of
slop fed cattle have been sold there. The
charge that poor Texas cattle are bought
here, shipped to the farm of Abe M'Neill,
Greenville, Illinois, there housed III filthy
sheds, fed on distlliery Stops till they are fat
tened and full of disease, then returned to
the yards, sold, and shipped east as healthy
stock, is pronounced by Mr.. M'Neill as ut
terry false. He does not feed either still or
slops, and also says there is not and never
has been distillery or brewery in Bond
county, where he resides. Mr. Knox ex-
presses the opinion that the writer of the
letter was never in the national stock-yards
All the dealers here say the cattle have not
been so healthy throughout the west for ten
years as they have been this season.

We copy from the Nashville american,
and publish in to-dcy's APPEAL, letter
from Ex-Governor Porter which cannot fail
to attract the attention and have great weight
with the people Of the State. It Is written
in a calm, dispassionate style. worthy of the
statesman whose administration was as
heartily indorsel by the people as that of
Ex-Governor John q. Brown, than whom
Tennessee never had an ADLER governor or
purer man in public life. GoTernor Porter's
position in this letter is entirel5 consistent
with his course as the chief magistrate of the
State, and we believe he predicts truly that
the Estate will rouse herself, like strong
man after sleep, and vindicate her own good
name" She will not permit herself to be
ruined by a ring of repudatoIs.

The figures at the Memphis cotton ex-
change have for sometime shown very
strong position for cotton. The meager re-
ceipts in Europe from India and elsewhere,
give reason to expect that, Notwithstanding
the dull condition of trade in Liverpool,
there will probably be scarcity there before
the next seasons cotton comes to hand. This
state of things gives our factors great conf
dence. The demand in our market remains
active, and desirable cottons have been shad-
ing over quotations. Yesterday, middling
cotton was selling here an eighth of cent
over New Orleans quotations. Although our
receipts have of late been large, the stock is
about the same as it was at this time last
year; all of which is cause tor congratula-

eases prevailing in Memphis. These sources
of information are accessible. not only to the
newspapers of the city, but to those of any
