THURSDAY. AUGUST Is, 1879.

SENATOR CLAPP, whose patriotic
course in the last Legislature endorsed
him to all State credit men, has writ
ten letter to the Nashville american
expressing his regret at the failure of
the fifty and four proposition, and
says;
My experience as citizen of Mis-
sissippi satisfied me that any people
may be educated or seduced into repu-
dtation, and hence, as you may possi-
bly, remember, my first fight in the
Legislature was in opposition to the
cowardly dodge in the Democratic
platform stipnlating for reference
the popular vote of any proposed
settlement of the State debt.
My speech was printedGat the Anaera-
can office, and possibly you may have
a copy. If so, you will find that I
predicted the result of such an irregu-
lar, undemOcratic and unconstitntion-
al measure. Hence, say I am NOR
titled but not surprised at what has
occurred.
The question now is, what next? I
am more than gratitied at the bold and
manly ground taken by the
american. There can be no fellow.
ship between light and darkness; be.
tween honesty and Reputation.
Whatever double or doubtful aspect
the question may assume abroad, aOe
know what was meant by nine-tenths
of those who voted against the 500
settlement, and no true Democrat, or
one who wishes to sustain the honor
or reputation of Tennesse, and to vim

have besmirched the character and

THE FALL TRADE.

The following cheerful statement
of the business prospects for this fall
is from the Baltimore Sun of the
Goth inst:
"After the last week in August the
dull season ends and the fall activities
| of trade begin to open. The prospects
! for the present autumn are very cheer
ing. The demand for staple goods is
greater than the supply, and under the
stimulus of brisk competition prices
have already advanced. A gentleman
who is largely engaged in the Western
carpet trade was In this city last week.
He said he was detained in New York
for ten days over bis regular time by
the difficulty of securing his goods
and having them forwarded. Prices
have advanced in this trade Is per cent.
in the past four months, but still The
orders far exceeded the ability of stock 5
to meet them. These orders were all
for carpets of American manufacture
few imported goods were now sold
by the trade. The iron business is lit
orally sboOming The reports from
Pittsburg show the utmost activity,
| and orders months ahead of the sup
ply. At Cincinnati furnaces that has e
laid idle for years are being put TO
blast; in come localities rolling mills
are running night and day-in others
twelve hours day, the men being
/ paid wages for seven days in the week.
| The advance in prices justifies this,
| and is believed to be fully established.
| Orders no longer have TO be secured by
| the aid OF drummers. They come
| in without solicitation. At Pitts
burg the rolling mills have orders
which will carry them into next
year, and will yield them half a
million profit in the operations OF
1879. The advance in American pig
iron has reopened the market for Eng
lish and Scotch producers, and %, 900
tons of Bessemer pig iron have recent
lily been imported. There is great re-
vival of the iron industry at New
| York. The Cornell works have 800
hands employed, and the Delamatt
900. The Delaware ship-buildin z
firms are about to secure and divide
between them a heavy Russian con-
tract of $50, 100000 for fleet of iron
propeller corvettes. The lumber trade
is unusually active and prOspe rOus al
all the great centres. From Boston
the reports are cOnsentaneOus as TO an
increased activity in wool. hides and
metals, boots and shoes, dry goods and
clothing. The commercial sheets
there speak of "a buoyant and ANNA
ted consumptive demand" aud the
factories are reported to be extremely
; active, delivering 20 per cent. more
goods than they did during the cor
responding week of last year. From
Chicago, st. Louis, Philadelphia anc
Kansas City, we have the same cheer
ing reports of an active fall trade open
ing early and promising well. I'm
doubtedly all this is a reflection of thu
enormous exports of grain and pro
visions last year and this, as well as {
product of other causes. We hav,
t been rebuilding our exhausted forces
ever since the panic of 1873, and now
as soon as Industry reVives, we ar
{ able to press forward with tremendous
energy and wonderful success. -s

NOT LICENSED TRADUCERs.

1t is mistake for an editor of
a newspaper, a lawyer, a clergy
man or a stump-speaker to suppose
that their relations to the public
gives them license to traduce and
SANDER whoever may incur their
displeasure, or whoever may differ
with them in politics and religion.
Touching the late unpleasantness in
San Francisco, which began in a
furious war of words and ended in
the shooting of the Rev. Isaac S.
Kalloch, and the narrow escape from
mob, of Charles DeYoung, one of
the editors of the San Francisco
Chronicle, it may be remarked that
when Mr.. Kalloch became the can
didate of the Sand-lotters for
Mayor, he had every reason to be-
lieve that his unsavory personal
record would be ventilated. When
a man becomes a candidate for q
high and responsible Office, his per-
sonal record, to some extent at
least, becomes public prop
erty, and a legitimate
topic for investigation and dis
cussion. The talk about ignor,
ing a candidate and looking alone
to the platform upon which he may
be nominated, is all bosh, as ex-
perience and observation teaches US.
We have seen two or three yer,
sions of the affair which eliminated
in DeYoung shooting Kalloch,
neither of which are creditable, in
all respects, to the parties to the
difficulty. 1t was legitimate for
DeYoung, editor of the Chronicle,
to speak of Kalloch's record, but il
he dragged Kalloch's fathers name
before the public, with whose char
acter the people of San Francisco
have nothing to do and are in no
wise interested, it was not right,
and it was perfectly natural for
Kalloch to retaliate.
But when Kalloch spoke of the
DeYoungs as the bastard progeny
of a prostitute,' y he overstepped the
bounds of all decency, and if mere
words will ever justify a
man in taking the life
of another, DeYoung was JUST.

years old, and is vouched for as ;

would have been less than human
not to resent it. He had right to
say anything that was true about
those with whom he was engaged in
a bitter controversy, but to drag
their mothers name into the dirty
contest was unchristian, ungentle-
manly and cowardly to the last
degree. His position as candi-
date for Mayor, nor as a professed
minister Of the Gospel, gave him
any such license.
Newspaper men, stump>speakers
and others, have right to speak Of
the personal character of those
who seek positions of honor and
trust, SO long as they keep within
the bounds of truth, but when they
step aside to traduce the memory OF
ones ancestors they lay themselves
liable to censure and to severe pun
ishment where those living are
possessed of manly courage. a

motion Of the pedals which forces the air
through tho latter; and as the perforattons
pass over the reeds the musical sounds are
allowed to escape In harmony, just as they
do when the keys are pressed In an ordinary
organ. When the tune Is played an ingenious
continuance permits the machinery to be re-
versed and the sheet OF music to be removed
In readiness for another performance. It can
then be readily removed and another put in
It's place. According to the scope Of the in

from s'Pinafore." The cost OF the rolls is only
slightly Ia advance OF ordinary sheet music,
