last Thursday week the bluff Citys'
of Rookport. came 10 this place for the
purpose Of PLAYING the retswn game with
the .i'atokas." Mr.. Shstlcr, the captain
IT the Paiokas. had made engagements
fsr the Rockport hoys, and when the
.rsin drew in at eleven o'clock, the Star
band was at the Depot and gave The boys
a cordial welcome and then took them
the Caian Hotel. Every thing pass
r.l Off finely aud every one was expect
ing a iinc time aud gala day. But il
was destined 10 have different terlni :
nus. As soon rs the players reached
the ground the Bluff Citys wanted to put
Mr.. Kelly in as umpire. the same man
that nmpired the Rockport game, TO this
the Patokas determined TO object aud
claimed the right OF naming the umpire,
~ the Rackpcrt boys had done at Rock
pert This occssioned dispGxe, but
was finally settled. and the game com
menccd with Mr.. Kelly as umpire. The
Bluff Citys had come here with the in
temtion efnot giving the Patokas SIM
gle run, and when our boys made five
the first inning they didn't care about
playins anymore; then they tried to
substitute Mr.. Olshe Is catcher in stead
Of Mr. Armstrong who claimed to have
hurt his hand, but where no one could
see. This was objected to, and time was
cStled for the forfeit Of the game, but be.
fore il expired the boys agreed to play
with their original men, the game went
on for another five minutes, when one
Of the B Cs hit the ball and drove il e
Pstekss pitcher. who threw it to first
ws;ie the batter tried to slide in. 1,
was out rs square as could be but umpire
decided safe on first while men who
stood within three feet Of the base sa,
that the batter was touched by the bal
before he ever touched the base. Al
this decision the game was thrown up
and me ampire7s decision of9 to 0 wa,
pronounced BY the crowd as altogether
too thin. We believe the Patokas stood
fair chance Of winning the game Lac
nine innings been played.

On the fourth page of this days APPEAL
we publish the results of the interviews by
one of our reporters with some of the leading
mercantile houses of the city. 1t will be
found timely aEd very interesting reading.
Spring opens fair 80 far as the weather Is
concerned, and it will be seen that in many
breaches of business the prospect &c as en-
couFaging as it ever was at the same season
of the year. Our rivals are and have been
busy, busy as only secret enemies could be,
endeavoring to make country merchants be-
heve that all the dry goods and clothing IN
the city is injected with yellow-feyer poison.
So palpable falsehood could not hnd be-
levers. Our trade Is intact. The compare
tive dullness which is complained of by some
and anticipated by others, is due not so
much TO local causes as to the apprehension
which has existed in every part of the Union
for Sears, and which was not dispelled by a
return to specie payments. Memphis has
done and "a doing as well as any other city in
the country, ana with healthy summer may
indulge anticipations of future equal tc
ANYTHING she has ever dreamed OF.

The APPEAL, intent upon whatever will
increase the trade Of Memphis, furnishes to-
day two articles that cannot fail to please our
mercantile readers especially. One of these,
that in regard to the Hatchie river recently
opened to navigation, is full of facts That
prove how valuable it was and may be, and
how all-important to our cotton interests
especially it eau be made by a little
enterprise. 1t has long been re-
proach to our merchants that the trade
OF Bolivar and other important points was
lost to Us by reason OF railroad discrimi-
nations. The opening of Hatchie river will
afford them means-the only means in the
absence of direct legislation against discrlmi-
pations-by which to ceet and overcome the
railroads. We hope to see boat or boats
put in this river at an early day. and trust
that the people all along the Hatchie, WIG
used to turn out in ante bellHnI days forty
thousand bales of cotton each year, will help
Memphis 10 develop a trade that may be
made mutually profitable.

The expose of hereditary pauperism made
IN the Herald of last week has set people 70 tnnk-

The above is the suggestion OF the In

motives. Perhaps these worthless, who have,
no doubt, better knowledge of hog breed

WASHINGTON, March 4.
Notice is given that when the outstanding
ive-twenty six per cent bonds of the United
States are covered by subscriptions to four
per cent consols, the latter will be withdrawn
from sale upon the terms proposed by the de-
partment circular of January /, 1879, and
upon the terms stated in the contract with
Rothschilds and others of date January
q, 1879. The amount of fve-twenty SIX
per cent bonds outstanding and embraced in
calls to this date, is Lightweight million
seVenty-nine thousand and eight hundred
dollars. When this sum Is covered by sub
scriptions under the existing circular and
contract. all further sales of four per cent
consols to provide for funding the ten-torty
FIVE per cent bonds will be made upon terms
which will probably be less favorable to the
purchaser, and in accordance with the new
proposals and contracts. This notice is
given so that all parties wishing to subscribe
for consols upon the terms stated in the cir
cular and contract, may have an opportunity
to do until the ive-twentv bonds are called.

ReVOlutIOnIsts In Russia Unusually

ST.. PETERSBURG, March At is certain
there is an unusual activity among the revo-

incredible bolduess. A publication declar-
ing that the governor of Charkof had been
condemned to death by the Russian socialist
party for inhuman treatment of political
prisoners, and that the act of assassination
was consequently executed by one of the
party, was openly posted in the halls of the
university on the day after he was shot. 1t
is believed here that the nihilists are inter-
ested in spreading the reports concerning the
plague. 1t is said that two of Prof. Bod
kins's assistants are leading the nihilists.

corning sick footman, they went about de-
claring that Prof. Bodkins had case of the
