against the law--it is only imposed in
Virginia in the case of wife beaters-is
denounced, and its prohibition is advo-
Gated.
But the most indecorous part of the
convention was the nomination of off,
GERS. Candidates for governor, lieuten-
ant governor and attorney general were
named by unanimous vote. The candi-
dates appeared and made addresses, but
positively declined to run, though advo-
eating the principles enunciated in the
platform. The convention afterwards re-
solved that no candidates should be SUBJ
stituted in place Of those that had de-
clined, but that the party would make
the canvass on its platform alone.
For the first time in the history of the
United States or of any State we find a
party running platform. 1t is not pre-
tended that there are any candidates who
will carry out the principles of the plat
form, but nevertheless the Republicans
of Virginia appeal for support. Upon
what ground the appeal is based it would
puzzle Philadelphia lawyer to discover
Men cannot vote for the platform, though
it might be as unassailable as the moral
law, for the reason that there are
no candidates who represent
it's principles. Of what use.
therefore, have been the deliberations
of the representatives of the Republicans
of Virginia. There have been tickets
without platforms, but never before q
platform without ticket.
The only conclusion that can in reason
be arrived at is that the Republicans of
Virginia assembled at Lynchburg were a
parcel of knaves. They avowed opposi-
ton to reputation, but offered to the
people no candidates opposed to that
heresy, but in effect recommended CO.
alition with the regulators headed by
Malone, Riddleberger and Sherman. A
more dishonest or puerile exhibition of
imbecility has never been manifested in
the political history of the United States.
1t is dishonest because it has assumed to
respect the State credit while offering no
candidates who would agree to carry out
the principles enunciated in the platform.
1t is puerile because the members of the
convention did not dare to avow an alli-
ance with either the debt-paying Demo-
Gratis or the repudiating adjusters. The
Republican party of Virginia, of which
so much has been expected, has commit
ted suicided, and the only issue that re-
mains in that State is State honor as
represented by the Democrats, and State
dishonor as represented by the readjusters.

The yVatermeIon Trade.

Several carloads of Georgia water
melons have arrived here within tho
past few days, and they found ready
buyers at about twenty-five cents
each on the average. A railway car
will carry thousand and sometimes a
few over. The freightage is seventy
dollars per carload, or about seven
cents each, which is reasonable enough
considering the distance and also the
fact that it costs from sl25 to $3.50 per
car to send watermelons from south
east Missouri to St. Louis and other
cities west where a market prevails.
Georgia melons weigh from twenty
to forty pounds, and were tn be had
Sunday and yesterday cool and crisp
at fifty cents each, The leo men laid
in large supplies from the wholesale
dealers, put the fruit into their ice
houses and then retailed them at the
price named. Many citizen enjoyed
luscious Georgia melon Sunday and
yesterday. The shipper of these melons
will doubtless be well satisfied with his
venture, as it is said he offered to Sc |
them free on board of the cars before
they started at ten cents round. AS
it is, after freight, commissions, and
all expenses, he is likely to realize
twelve to thirteen cents each, a con-
siderable difference in a lot of five or
six thousand melons.
Our home raised melons are
small and shriveled this sea-
son, owing to the excessive
drought and they do not compare in
favor, size or quality to these lucious
Georgia melons; therefore the ready
demand prevalent for the better Geor-
gia production.
1t would not be amiss to mention
that Mississippi county, Missouri, of
which Charleston is the capital, and
which lies south of Cairo and north
of New Madrid, will this year send
about four million watermelons to St.
Louis, Chicago aud other northern
cities. Several hundred Germans
settled in that rich region a few
years ago, and this is part OF their
product. The Iron Mountain railway
passes through the county, and is now
busy carrying out sixty car loads of
melons each day, an arrangc ment hav-
ing been made to take out the entire
cropat Sll0 per car load. The freight
varies generally from $50 to $3.50 per
car. There are about 1000 acres in
watermelons near Charleston, No.,
this season, and the yield is a splendid
one.

The Mexican National Railway

The Mexican National Railway.
The officers of the Mexican Ma
tional Railway areWillianl j. Palmer,
President; G. W. Drake, Secretary;
William S. Spackman, Treasurer; and
G. Clinton Gardener, General Super
intendent. Captain Nevis, of the
Construction Company, spoke as fol-
lows of the financial condition of the
enterprise:
1.-THE Mexican National Railway
Company bonds its lines to the extent
Of $50, 600 per mile, with the right to
increase the amount, for improvements
and betterments, $4,000 more-making
a total of S25, 900 per mile. The capt.
tai stock will be issued to a like
amount with the bonds, and the full
capital stock of the company will, of
course, be determined by the mileage
1--WE have concessions for and ex.
pect to build about $500 miles. The
amount of bonds already placed is
about $4,000, 0O0,' and they will be
issued as needed. The road is built
by the Mexican National Construc-
ZION Company. The capital OF this
company is e, coz, 600, all Of which is
subscribed for and thirty per Centum
Of which is paid up. This company
is responsible for and practically
takes the risk of the enterprise lin
this way protecting the bondhelders.
The Construction company derives no
profit from the building or the sale
Of bonds, but will get its return for
the risk it runs in the future prosper
ty of the enterprise by retaining part
Of the stock. The whole of the capt.
tai of the Construction company will
be called as needed.
THE Mexican National railway en-
terpriss differs from many Of the 9TH
ers which are now engaging public at
tention in this respect, that it is not a
recent undertaking. We-the same
men who built the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad-began this enter
prise in 1872. We had several mill
ions Of dollars then subscribed to be-
gin with, and concession secured
Some difficulties arising concerning
the Interpretation Of this concession,
and the panic of 1873 coming on, OPP
erations were suspended, but the en-
terprise was never given mp. We
have been steadily, patiently and 81
lently hard at work in Mexico ever
since. and the fruit is seen in the lib
eral and we'll matured concessions
now secured by us. Our lines rep
resent an intelligent selection ofroutos
and combinations made at a time
when the railroad field Ct Mexi-
co was clear and opau. They have
been chosen with the view Of finding
the shortest and most available route
to the Pacific and the most direct line
from the City of Mexico to the cities
Of New York and st. Louis.
I'm connection with the English
Vera Cruz road now running, our in
teroceanic line forms the most desira-
BILE transcontinental lines on the conti-
nent: and as the three hundred miles
of English railroad are already in ope-
ration, and we are at work on success
i've sections for three hundred miles
Of our own road, we believe that this
will be the first Mexican interoceanic
line completed.

Captain Pepper Dead.

GeaNINaAAAA y NNFlFSA hEGMtae
Captain James II. Pepper we'll
known here in years past as Secretary
of our Memphis Gas Company, and
also as commander of several of the
finest steamers that has run the Mis-
sissippi, died at Denver, Colorado, at
Z o'clock last Sunday evening.
The Captain has been in failing
health for more than a year past, and
during that period has visited Cooper's
Well, Mississippi, Hot Springs and
other resorts in the vain hope of find
ing relief.
The last steamers commanded by
Captain Pepper was the splendid Ed.
Richardson and the Thompson Dean
both running in the lower Mississippi
trade, and occasionally up to this port.
The last named steamer was built by
Captain Pepper and Mr.. Thompson
Dean of New York, and the invested
capital of both gentlemen was nearly
all sunk in the venture. 1t was a
severe financial blow to Captain Pep
per, as his all was put into the boat,
but with Mr.. Dean the loss was of
little Importance, his great wealth
enabling him TO bear losses of much
greater magnitude without the slight
est embarrassment. The present
Memphis gas works we're constructed
by Mr.. Dean, and for a number of
years Captain Pepper resided in this
city, serving as Secretary to the COM
pauy aferward organized by Mr.. Dean
and others.
Some six or seven years ago Captain
Pepper became the leading represent
alive of Messrs. Brown & Jones at
New Orleans, when that firm estab-
lished branch of their business in
the Crescent City, and after serving
there for a time he resumed command
of the steamer Thompson Dean, which
boat was then owned by Brown &
Jones, and ran her in the trade from
New Orleans to Greepyille. Shortly
afterward the Dean was withdrawn
from the Greenville trade and run to
this city, the lower river boatmen-
Tebin, Leathers and others-having
purchased the larger part of the boat.
For nearly year past, however, Capt.
Pepper has not been on the river,
failing health preventing his active
employment. He passed through this
city few months ago on his way to
Hot Springs.
The wife of the deceased com
mander was with him at the time of
his demise, and she is reported broken
hearted with grief at her great loss.

So far. Scarcely family can count more

looking insects. They are slightly vo-
racious, however, but not more so than
the succulent, fat mosquito of former
seasons. The absence Of rain storms
during the early spring and the excess
i've heat Of the past few weeks is the
cause assigned for the fewness Of the
mosquito family. They are plentiful
over in the watery swamps on the OPP
