the faintest possibility for Its success.

New York Times: THAT the tide of en-
igration from Europe is again settling toward
our shores with great force is abundantly
proved by statistics for the month OF April
which have been recently published. These
have reference altogether to emigration from
the Mersey, and they show not only an enor
nous increase, but also indicate a decided
change ia the class of emigrants who will ar
rive during the summer. 1t appears that
during the month, sixty five vessels, carving
IO,9II emlgrant passengers left the Mersey.
Of this number, 1891 had taken passage for
the United States and 1928 for Canada
There were ITO for South America, AZ for
Australia, Al for the West Coast of Africa,
80 tor the East Indies, Is for the West In
dies, and for China. These figures show
an increase OF 6015 over last month, and 1890
over April OF last year. A great change has
also taken place in respect to the nationality
of the emigrants. England heads the list
with 5348, there are 1916 Irish, the foreign
ers of all other nadonalities number 1909,
and there are 1856 of whom there is no de-
scription. Australia used to be faVorite
field for English emigrauts, but lately the
news received in England from that quarter
has not been encouraging, and may possibly
account for the small number that started for
there during the month of April. Recent
advices from Sydney state that large numbers
of men had been thrown out of employment
in that city owing to dispute about civic
contracts, and that even previous to this a
great many people-mostly immigrants
were walking about the streets idle. The
trouble in the Australian colonies seems to be
that the immigrants who arrive there are not
of the proper class. Laborers and those who
have been accustomed to agricultural pur-
suits are chiefly wanted, but, unfortunately,
persons who have followed other avocations
at home find their way to market where
where there is no demand for their services. u

little as compared with last year, showing
that the reserves have been under
estimated, or else they are due to the
pressing need of money, which is felt in
agricultural circles. The condition of the
wheat offered was improved, as the average
price advanced eightpence per quarter des-
pite the very inactive provincial trade. In
London fine samples fully maintained the late
rates, but arrivals were small Imports of
foreign wheat to Friday were four thousand
three hundred and seventy-six quarters. The
milers during the week bought on merely
retail scale, because Of the increased 6rmness
of holders. With considerable visible supply
in America and shipments from northern
Russian ports, the trade lost much
of its buoyancy, but prices are unchanged,
except for spring and American descriptions,
for which holders accepted rather lower
rates, ex-ship, sooner than incur landing ex-
penses. Business was fur her restricted by
the holidays. Relative to fodder, maize
supported last weeks advance. The best oats
have risen similarly. Barley and beans sold
slowly at former rates. Peas were rather
cheaper, in consequence of large supply.

Another Tragedy Reported from Mt.
Vernon, Indiana.

EVANSVILLE, IND, June 2-Another ter
rIble tragedy has been enacted In the neigh
borhood Of Mt. Vernon, in this State, where
FIVE negroes were hung by a mob last Oc-
tober for rape and murder. In this instance
the negroes have concluded to regulate them.
selves so as to prevent the necessity Of a
repetition Of that dreadful proceeding. Last
Saturday week, at negro dance on q farm
in Kentucky, opposite Mt. Vernon, two
negroes, George Payne, Of Mt. Vernon, and
Sim Scott, of Kentucky, quarreled over
SCOTS sending his wife home. HIS authority
was resisted by the woman, and Payne sup
ported her. 10 a fight that ensued, Payne
drew a revolver and instantly killed Scott,
and then made his escape successfully. He
has since been hanging about Mt. Vernon,
his home, and on Saturday a mob of about
twenty negroes came over from Kentucky to
arrest him. He fed to Slim Island, in the
Ohio river, several miles below the city,
where be was brought to bay and shot to
death by his pursuers, his body being literally
riddled with bullets. This was a report
brought to Mt. Vernon by some of the mob,
but others deny that he was caught, and say
shots were fred by mistake. The body has
disappeared, and the mystery is the cause of
considerable agitation. 1t is observed that
the negroes have ceased in the pursuit of
Payne, and this makes ais death as certain
as can be established now

The Asfasissfppi River.

WARRINGTON, June 2.-The bill providing
for the appointment of Mississippi river
commission passed the house by wo-thirds
vote. 1t provides for the appointment by the
President of FIVE commissioners, three to be
selected trom the engineer corps of the army
and two from civil life. They will be EN-
powered to direct and complete such surveys
between the head of the passes near its mouth
to its head waters now unfinished. and to
make such additional surveys as may be con-
sidered necessary to carry out the objects
sought by the bill. They will consider and
mature plans for the permanent locating
deeping of the channel and the protection of
its banks, with view to promoting and
facilitating trade, commerce and the postal
service, and will examine into and report
upon the various plans known as the jetty
system, the outlet and the levee system. Un-
der the provisions of the bill the commission
may submit plans and specifications for such
immediate work as may constitute part of
the. general system of works to be carried
out. The secretary of war is authorized to
expend the sum of one hundred and seventy
dve thousand dollars for salaries, expense OF
surveys and such examinations as may be
found necessary. The passage Of this bill In
the house, under suspension of the rules,
was an extraordinary piece of 0eneratship,
and the result is due solely to the uDtiring
efforts of General Floyd King, of louisiana,
who, In conjunction with Representatives
Frost and Clsrdy, made careful canvass Of
the house and enlisted friends for it among
the Republicans, and by their diligence fairly
force a measure through that is certain to
inure largely to the Interest of the MisSis-
sippi valley.

Two Dead shots by a Druggist.

Van Buren, ARK. Argus, I'd: 'Mr. Ellis
and two other persons were going from their
mill, near Hogeye, to the Nation with load
of flour, and, IN passing through Boonsboro,
stopped at drug store to get some whisky.
Upon being told by the druggist that he was
not allowed to sell whisky without a pre-
scription, Mr.. Ellis told him TO prepare some
for him as medicine. The druggist mixed
pint of 'bitters, and gave to him. Mr..
Ellis and his companions drank of the mix
ture, and IN two hours Rfterd Ellis was dead.
An inquest was held, and the jury returned a
verdict against the druggist OF manslaughter.
We learn that oae of the other parties have
since died, and the third will probably re-
cover. Such criminal carelessness should be
promptly and severely punished. The name
of the druggist is Dyke. The remains of

Hayes, She man and Poster.

New York Herald: 1.-The statement of Mr..
Foster that neither President Hayes nor Sec
rotary Sherman interested themselves in his
canvass or gave him any aid must be taken in
a Pickwickian sense. He is bound in graf
itude to shield these friends from political at
tacks. He knows too we'll the handle that
would be made of such violation of the well
known civil service order forbidding Federal
officers to take any part in the management
or control of political conventions. Farce as
that order was, exposed farce as it is well
known to be, something Is thought due to
appearances, and Mr.. Foster is the last man
who could be expected to lift the mask. But
Mr.. Hayes's hand has too often been felt in
State politics of New York for people in this
part of the country to be very credulous as TO
the adherence of his administration 10 the
civil service order. Mr.. Hayes and Mr..
Sherman have kept up a decent regard for
appearances, but well-informed politicians
will laugh at the preteuss that they took no
pains to secure the nomination Of Mr.. Fos-

THE NATIONAL PARTY a FAILURE

The National, or National Greenback, or
Greenback party, by which ever name 1t may
be known, has not in itself, as must be APP
parent to every one, the inherent elements Of
success, and can never, therefore, become a
leading factor in the politics of the country.
1t has by some, with eager hopes, been COM
pared to the Republican party. They point
to the rapidity with which that party ac-
CURED control of the people of the north
how from the vote for Fremont its strength
was quickly increased to the support that Mr..
Lincoln received, but the comparison is en-
tirely fallacious. The Republican party never
had but oue fundamental idea: its aim was al
ways steady; councils we're always united
and harmonious. That idea, that ann,
the object of those councils, was the entire
abolition of slavery. Sacrificing everything,
abandoning every hope of profit and
all emoluments Of Office, it waged resistless
and relentless campaign against slavery. Its
success was wonderful. Its object was eagerly
sought by the masses, and its appeals to
humanity, charity and christianity met with
an enthusiastic response. Consider the Ma

MEMPHIS APPEAL
FRIUAY, JUNE 6, 1879.
TILDEN IN OHIO.

No man ever made the transit from the
position of great popularity to that of detes-
tation so rapidly as Samuel ]. Tilden. The
events of almost every day develop his IN
popularity. he never had any personal mag
netism. Men were attracted to him solely
by the belief that he was a reformer, a man
whose ambition and abilities would make
him a successful. leader, and that in the hour
of great trouble he would rise equal to the
occasion. But after the Democrats elected
Mr.. Tilden to the Presidency his pusiilanl-
NOUS cowar6ice, his trucking timidity, his
silence and seclusion when his appearance
at Washington, courageously claiming his
rights, would have secured for the
Democrats the victory they had
won, destroyed the confidence which the
country reposed in him as a leader. and
having no personal popularity to fall
back upon, he may now be regarded as out OF
the race fer the Presidency. A fatal blow
was struck to Mr.. Hlden's aspirations IN the
Ohio Democratic con 7ention, on Wednesday
last, by the defeat of Bishop, who was an
open and avowed friend of TIlden. Bishop
is the present governor Of Ohio. His admin
istratIon was satisfactory to his party. he
was candidate for another term, and 1t has
been customary to renominate faithful Of
fetal; but Bishops friendship for Tilden was
a load too heavy for him to carry, and he was
defeated In the convention. The signs of the
times Enthusiastically indicate that Samuel j.
Tllden has no prospect for a nomination as
the Democratic candidate for the Presidency.
The war which his friends are making upon
Hendricks, through the columns of the
Courier Journal. has aroused the Democracy
of Indiana, which is now bitter in It's oppo-
eition to Tilden. His failure to play the part
OF leader like Jackson, and to make he
roic effort to assume the Office to which he
had been elected In the face of the ftaud,
forever destroyed his popularity. It was
Tilden's cowardice, silence and seclusion,
when personal presence, boldness and ring
ing words were necessary, that made the
electoral commission possible. He is physl-
cally unworthy Of the exalted position to
which he was once elected, aud to which he
again aspIres. The south was solid for the
nomination and election of Tilden in the last
canvass; but in The approaching contest an
almost solid south will oppose MS nomlna-
ton, and should he be foisted upon the party
he may be accepted as the least of two evils,
but the dissatisfaction and lukewarmness OF
thousands OF Democrats will make the issue
doubtful in many southern States.
