GREAT BRITAIN.
Sir Stafford NOrtheOte Predicts the
Approach OF q Great Electoral
StruRGie-L0ndOn Times Com
u2ents on the Leading
Great Question.

LONDON, June 19.-The Times, apropos
of the speech by Sir Staff Ird Northcote, at
the anniversary banquet of the Tower Ham
lets constitutional association, which dis
cusses questions now engaging the gov
ernment's attention from the point of view of
the probable early dissolution of parliament,
says: at is obvious that on all sides there
are indications of the approach of great
electoral struggle. Great questions of for
eign policy which have occupied the mind of
the country for the past few years are rapid
ly approaching solution for good or harm.
When the time comes for the English to say
how the ministers have discharged their
trust, they will not fail to bear In mind the
difficulties the government have had to en-
counter, as we'll as their method of dealing
with them. 1t is premature, as the chancel-
lor OF the exchequer intlmated, to form a
final judgment on the whole case, but it Is
also evident from his speech that the ministry
feel that the moment for pronouncing such a
Judgment Is not far off In the course OF
the foregoing article, the Times makes the
following reference to dispatch from Alex
andria, stating that the French consul would
proceed In full uniform to the palace to an
nounce that the French government had de-
cided to insist upon the deposition of the
khedi.e: at Is not to be supposed that the
French government would have taken a step
of such importance without the consent or
acquieecence of our government, and if II has
been taken at all, we have entered upon a
new and very critical stage of the Egyptian
question.

whom past mistakes and failures have bred
chronic sourness, and who are unable to be-
lieve that prosperity has come to anybody be-
cause it has not come to them. The pros
pect of crops at the west and south has much
improved. Business of almost every kind
continues to increase" The same paper
notes the following important facts: The
exchanges here last week amounted to $472,-
1913, OS9, an increase of 1858 per cent. In COM
parison with exchanges of the first week of
June, 1873, and No part of this can be at
tributed to sales of stocks, which were small
er last week than year ago. During the
month of May, the exchanges increased In
the aggregate 406 per cent, In COMPARISON
with May of last year, and over 81 per cent.
after deduction for stock operations; 1876 per
cent. at Boston; 26.5 per cent. at Philadel-
phia; 22.6 per cent. at Chicago; 9.5 per cent.
at Baltimore; 1873 per cent. at CINCINNATI;
17.2 per cent. at St. Louis; ga per cent. at
San Francisco; and 602 per cent. at Louis
vile. So great an increase at all the larger
cities could not occur without general and
great improvement in business. In short, 1t
is proof that the advocates of honest money
and resumption were not mistaken in an
ticipating as the result genuine revival
of commerce and industry" The
New York BslIetin: Having reached the
elimination of the business of the first half
of the year, we are in a position to compare
results with the hopes with which the year
opened. In almost every branch of industry
and of trade, there has been a marked i'm
provement over anything experienced since
1873; while the conditions upon which bust
ness has been conducted have been
sounder than In any of the years of
Intoxicating imitation that preceded
the panic. The return of confidence
has set in motion the machinery of trade.
Production has been increased; and, with
more commodities to sell, there has been
more ability to buy; and hence the active ex-
change of products is being resumed. Natu-
rally, one of the first effects of this improve
ment is to strengthen prices; for-apart from
the conspicuous rise in cotton and cotton
goods owing to a partial exhaustion of the
supply of raw material-there has been a
very general tendency toward higher prices"
The BUlletin points out that after so long a
period of dullness everything wants repair
ing, renewing, refurnishinR; stores, build
ings, workshops and tools, railroads,
wharveP, bridges, vessels-everything re-
quires attention and will furnish employ
ment. Extracts Of the character above could
be presented from every part of the country,
but these samples are sufficient to encourage
the most Responding, and to stimulate bust
ness men to act while yet low prices give OPP
portunity for large profits.

HICKORY WITHE, TENN, June 1.-THE
commencement exercises OF the Synodical
female college, at Florence, Alabama, closed
on Wednesday evening, the eleventh instant,
in the presence of a large and appreeiative
audience. The instrument and vocal music
by Misses Anderson, Rice and others, the
salutatory, the essays, and the valedictory by
the young ladies of the graduating class were
quite interesting, and reflected great credit
on both teachers and pupils. Captain J. W.
Morgan, of Alabama, being introduced by
Ex-Governor Patton, the president of the
board of trustees, delivered an able his
torical and literary address, which was loud
ly applauded. AT the close of Captain Nor
Ran's address, the charming and accom-
five In number-Miss Alice Bowers of Lexing-
ton, Mississippi; Miss SUSIE Krkman, Miss
Mary Miner and Miss Maggie Clarke, of
Florence, Alabama; aud Miss Ada MunrOe,
OF Lonoke, Arkansas-came forward, and
Prof. j. ID. Anderson, in the name OF the
board OF trustees, presented their diplomas,
adding few remarks appropriate to the &C.
CASTOR. The exercises were then closed with
benedlction by Rev. NJ. L. Frierson, AN.
The commencement over, but little time was
left those who were to leave on the morning
train, at four o'clock, for tired natures
sweet restorer." All along the railroad line,
from Tuscumbis, Alabama, to Memphis, the
large number of school girls, en- route for
their homes, attracted considerable attention
of the young men passengers, and the part
ing scenes at several points along the rail-
road were too touching to the girls, and too
anu sing to the passengers to be soon forgot

MEMPHIS APPEAL
FRIDaf, JUNE 20, 1879.
THE - FATE DEBT sEwTLEMENT.


In August next the people of Tennessee
will be called upon to express their opinion
in regard to the proposed settlement of the
State debt. The polls will be regularly
opened in every county IN the State, and the
people are requested to come forward and
deposit their votes either for the ratification
or rejection of the terms submitted by the
last legislature and accepted by the creditors
of the State. There has been but little dis
cussion of this question, because the opinion
obtained that the people had generally ac-
quiesced in a settlement on the basis of
ffty-and-four. But it seems the repudiators
per Sc have resolved to make fight IN OPP
position to the liberal terms Cffered. In an
other column we publish letter from Major
w. ]. Sykes, which discusses this subject In
a spirit OF moderation and Cancellation
which should animate every voter in ex-
pressing his opinion at the ballot box. When
such low-tax men as Governor A. S. Marks
and Hon. A. S. Colysr, and such extreme
State-credit men as Major Sykes unite in
support of the ratification of settlement on
the basis proposed, it was hoped that there
would be no contest, and that the people
would unite and cast sohd vote for the ac-
ceptance of terms so liberal. Notwlthstand-
lag the factious opposition which has been
threatened and which has developed itself ia
a small way, we believe the people will cast
an overwhelming majority for the proposition
which finally settles the State debt and for
ever takes it out of the politics of the State.
Major Sykes, in his letter published in to-
days APPEAL, shows the grounds upon
which State-credit men, like himself, can
and saoud support the settlement proposed.
There is great indifference in every part of
the State in regard to the vote to be cast in
August. IL Is to be hoped that full vote
will be cast, for, with small vote, however
great the majority, the present legislature
might be lndisposed to act West Tennessee
will. no doubt, by large majority, vote for
an acceptance of the settlement at ffty-and-
four; but the fear is that small vote will be
cast, and the legislature which is to be con
vened by Governor Marks might possibly re-
gard all who failed to vote as opposed to the
settlement, and hesitate to enact the neces-
sary laws.

nihcent view, both up and down the river,
was obtainable. Here, too, the wonderful
coloring of the rocks was more apparent.
The cliffs are stained with yellow, orange,
madden, red, and dark blue; or, rather, these
coors permeate them In distinct LAYERS in
places, not being confined to the surface. A
little below this point distinct copper vein
has recently been discovered, and strong in
dications of gold. Indeed, the color itself
has been found-whether in paying quanti-
ties or not remains to be determined-at
Thaxter's lake, little further down, be-
tween the bluffs and the river. This region
Is the southwestern terminus of the Lake
Superior range, which has proven so rich in
minerals. There are two or three copper
mines, partially developed, on the Minnesota
shore. The water, power at Taylors Falls is
second only 10 that of Minneapolis, the river
having a fall of sixty three feet in the course
OF six miles, which will doubtless be utilized
when the Minneapolis and st. Louis railroad
pushes its extension from White Bear lake
to this point, which it proposes to do at an
early day. The water power belongs to the
estate of Calico Cushing, which also owns a
great deal of land IN the vicinity. General
Butler also owns an immense tract of TWEEN
ty-elght thousand acres, on the Wisconsin
shore, opposite Taylor's Falls, of beautiful
hardwood timber lands. The railroad will
also render the beauty of the Dalles more
accessible to tourists, who are In too great
haste to take the steamboat ride. An excel
lent and commodlous hotel, the Dalles house,
awaits one at the end of the route, from
which, as headquarters, many hunting and
fishing party starts out for week of sport In
the great north woods or along the trout
streams, which are especially abundant on
the Wisconsin shore. Many tourists return
from Taylor's Falls, across country, by
stage to Wyoming, on the st. Paul and Du-
luth railroad, some twenty miles distant,
which route takes the traveller through
beautiful, rolling, well timbered country, and
by Chicago and Green lakes, two of the most
beautiful bodies of water in the State. l,
however, preferred the steamer, and another
view of the changing panorama OF the river
shores, and returned as l went, on board the
G. B. Knapp, to Saltwater, where bid adieu
to the steamer, and to Captain Hayes, who
knows and loves every foot of the beautiful
shores of the Incompatible river which he
navigates, and who proved to me an invalu-
able guide to the wonders of the Dalles.
