TENNESSEE POLITICS.

The PaRner thinks the proposition of the
low-tax committee was "a sham and hypoc-
risy on its face"
Senator w. NJ. Daniel, of GAINESVILLE, has
been brought forward by several papers as
the next Democratic candidate for governor.
The World says it is the only State-credit
paper in Nashville, and is in favor of accept
ing the lowest proposition heretofore made
By the creditors of the State-namely, 50-4
"The search for a Moses to lead the Democ-
racy out of bondage TO the promised land,
though energetically prosecuted, has thus far
been unsuccessful 1t is ascertained, how
ever, that his initials not G. o. L. Y. A. r.

Democrats will of course think it curious
that paper protesting to be a Democratic
paper should object to the reunion of the
Democratic factions, but when they come to
remember that such papers are working in
the interest of the Republican party they

The Americ ~ says it il, and probably al
ways will be, Democratic paper, but thinks
out of place. 1t then proceeds to explain to
the extent of about a column, and says,
among other things, that, "while the Amfri-
can is Democratic, it will not be bound by
everything the party may do" all OF which
may anything or nothing. The explanation
closes as follows: "For the present the Amer
lean will be much taken up in an honest
effort to get our State debt settled, believing
that it is absolutely essential TO the good of
the State that it shall be done. Believing
that a settlement by the Democratic party is
the only settlement which would stand, it

closed in the disturbed provinces, large
crowds paraded the streets and business was
stopped; numerous arrests were made By the
police. The ministers met twice during the
day at the palace with the king, and also at
the residence Of their chief, Ssgssla. The
manifestation was spreading in Barcelona,
Corona and Catalonia. Arrested rioters
confessed that the movement was instigated
by instructions both from Madrid and BARGE
Iona, the motives there being political. Gaia
lonia is proclaimed to be in a state OF siege.
The captain general called the principal
manufacturers together and informed than
they must cease encouraging the movement
or they would be prosecuted instigators
and sccomplices. They agreed to resume
work if military protection were given to
their mills. Their proposal was at once ac-
eepted. In Barcelona the shops and manu-
factories we're generally closed, but many
resumed business on being promised military
protection; 250 persons were arrested there,
among them were many political agents.
Shouts a 'Lsng Live the Republicp' we're
frequently raised in the ranks of the disor-
derby. For some days there have been strikes
parades meetings and conflicts with the
police going on. When Ssgasta, the present
minister OF finance, came into office, it was
with a determination to reform old abuses, to
reduce the land tax, abolish local tolls and
ferry charges, diminish postage rates, lower
tariffs and OetnOis generally, and to favor free
trade. Old custom has prejudiced the work

ton as their supporter, and think they shall
be ruined without it, for their productions
have been fenced round with professional |
stringency, and 1t is almost a part of their |
religion. Yet their trade has dwindled under |
it, England has abandoned their sherries |
and taken 10 French light wines, and their |
exports are almost confined to cattle, |
'il, corn and espariO But they make no
account OF the injury their trade has
eceived; they have been used to protection,

opposition knowing what had to be contended
With, his object being to revive the commerce

DISTURBANCE AND RIOT IN SPAIN.

Our kilograms have mentioned the exist
ence of threatening disorders in SPAIN
Fuller details explain that tine great manu-
featuring towns of Rarcelona, Catalonia,
Aragon and Valentia are in an Instruction
airy condition. The professed object of the
disorder il objection to some steps taken by
the government ministry in the direction of
free-trade. Advantage has been taken by
parties, known as CONSERVATIVES" and "fed-
erals" to make the movement a means of car
rying out political intrigues. Shops, facto-
ries and mills were closed, and the workmen
paraded the streets with view to intimidate
the population, but were, in most instances,
at the beginning, put down without calling
upon the army. A proposed treaty of COM
merce with France is objected to by the NAL
contents. who also denounce some new
taxes that have been imposed. Some
wooden structures belonging to the govern
ment were burned at Barcelona; the stores
were generally closed, the workmen were
in full riot, and were attempting to compel
the factories and mills 10 stop working. This
ATTEMPT some of those establishments resist
ed, and the government prohibited meetings.
Rate-payers of all classes interested in man
ufactures propose to continue agitation by
closing shops and mills, and by resisting the
collection of rates as an expression OF their
disapproval of the French treaty and pro-
posed tariff reforms. A financial crisis is
already causing trouble in 500 mills. The
government, however, is determined TO carry
out its ree-trade policy, as it is in the inter-
est of thirty.nine out of the forty-nine prov
inces. The civil and military authoriti es
are both ordered to act energeticaily when it
may become necessary. In Andaiusia dis
tress caused by long drouth is at the bottom
of the trouble, and a distribution OF relief
has partially restored tranquility. A majority
of the Chamber Of Deputies favor the treaty
with France. The ministers have declared
their determination to resign II their
commercial measures are rejected. In
Barcelona a mob attempted 10 stop the
trains from starting, a revolver was fired,
the military replied with volley and the
rioters dispersed. The second day OF the

The widest estimates are made as to the
extent to which the sugar crop has suffered,
but after a careful and thorough exsmina-
ton made by the best-informed among the
New Orleans merchants, it is thought that
the loss from the present overflow cannot
exceed 10000 or 25,O00 hog heads. The fol-
lowing table exhibits Int of the sugar

flowed, their crops of last year, and the
estimated loss of this year. 1t must be

plause:

day involved in the interest of the public credit
and honor of the State, have been somewhat pre-
JUDGED, If not misinterpreted by what seems to
be growing tendency 10 reputation on the part
OF the people, thereby creating feeling OF mis-

ResoLUed, That where the validity OF bonds is
sued by the State has been established in the
courts the principles which govern in all matters
OF contract between debtor and creditor should in
no wise be impaired.
ResotUed, That owing 10 unfair manipulation of
the bondholders and railroad men with the Legis-
lature in causing the passage OF acts depreeiating
the real value of bonds issued for the benefit Of
the roads the bondholder himself waiting on the

Arkansas City.


ARKANSAS CITY, April 1.-The trip down
the river thus far has been devoid OF interest.
The water has not yet fallen sufficiently to
allow Of any farm operations, and at land
iDgs spots of ground, generally ends of
old levees, appear. The only business of
the negroes seems to be that Of making in
quiries as to when ode gov'ment boat" is
coming. Their personal appearance does
not betoken much physical suffering; they
look very nearly as fat and sleek as before
the water STARVED them out" Only a few
of them spoke of leaving for the hills when
the water goes down.
The two inch fall in the back-water at
Helena leaves such of the streets OF that city
in the worst condition imaginable. Wreck
age of every conceivable description lies i'm
bedded in what appears unfathomable mud.
Friars Point, from the deck of the boat
does not seem to have suffered greatly from
the flood. This was one of the approach able
points at which no negroes were seen with
sacks and other receptables awaiting govern
ment aid.
Steamboat business, as might be supposed,
is very light. The few landings at which we
stopped received or furnished very little in
the way of freight. From Friars Point to
Arkansas City we made only four stoppages
-Sunfower, Terrene, Stops and Mound
Landing.
At Arkansas City, though the water is yet
all over the town, there appears considerable
life. Trains are running into town, the ele-
vator is at work, the oil-mill had steam up,
and good many people were passing about
on the levee and temporary wooden gang
ways. A conversation with two or three of
the citizens developed the fact that while
there is next to nothing in the way of business
doing just now, they are confident that the
place will resume its wonted hustle and
activity so soon as the flood subsidies.
We leave here at 2 o'clock pm. for Green
vile, where l will write you more in detail.

JESSE JAMES DEAD.

Terror to the People Of Missouri, Shot
Down Like Dog by One OF
His Own Gang.

Special te the Appeal
INDEPENDENCE, Mo, April SIT has Just
been learned that Dick Little, the bandit,
was in Kansas City last night. 1t appears
that late last night as his wife, Matte Col
Inns, in company with w. c. Woodward, a
st. Louis journalist, formerly OF your city,
was walking on the street, Little rode up and
accused her of having informed Woodward
of things that she should not have done. A
fuss then ensued between the latter and
Woodward, In which shot was fired by one
of the two. Little rode off, fearing to be ar
rested by the officers and taken to INDIE
pendence. Woodward, an hour sfterward,
boosted that Jesse james would be killed the
next day, and his prophecy was verified.
The town of Independence is wild with ex-
element over the death of Jesse James. The
fear of his vengeance has formerly restricted
the people from taking extrrms sCtiOH
against all of the accused train-robberz. Men
are huddled together in groups on the street,
and the rum rs of lynching party 10 be
organized tonight are very prevalent.
