Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-10-19

The Democratic hosts are on the march Tor
the decisive battle ON the 9TH OF November.
The whole State is vocal with the eloquence
of men pleading for the election OF Bate and
the nominees in every district and county.
The list of appointments made Tor the va
rious speakers, published in the APPEAL OF
yesterday shows that the Democracy of the
whole State is in motion. The canvass Is
inspiring and encouraging. 1t has never
been equaled in Tennessee. While the en-
thusiasm among the true and reliable De-
naocracy is unbounded, the Hawkins combi-
nation does not create single ripple upon
the popular wave. The loving trio glide
from one county to another as gently and
quietly as the wind. No one seems to know
whence they come or whittier they 60
The Bate Democracy is sUperbly organized
But sense of certain victory must not lnll
Democrats into insction or relaxation
OF effort. Bright as is the prospect
let us continue the struggle with
unAagging zeal. Euthusissm must not be
nlowed to beget overconhdence, which de-
veIops into Incidence and neglect OF duty
Weak as are the boilers, and shattered 81
are the Republicans in this State and county,
1t would be grievous mistake to underraie
their resources and strength. The triumph
of The Democratic party is not 10 be achieved
through mercenary agencies, but through
the earnest support of an incorIuPtible Peo-
pie. The true Issues of the canvass have
been brought home TO the mind and con-
science of the people, and there can be no
doubt as to the result, but TO secure the vic
tory now assured We must resolutely con-
tinue the work. We must continue to dis.
play as much activity as if the battle were
involved in doubt.

rHr PENALTY FOX BAD Billing.

A sharp contest was carried on some
months ago as to the condition OF American
c1tton on reaching the European mills. The
principal point related TO the weighing Of
cotton bales by alledged introductions Of
sand or water, thus frsudulently, as the Eu-
ropean spInners asserted, increasing the
weight. In the course Of the controversy
which arose on the subject, Other allegations
beside the maiD one were made, especially as
TO the manner in which American cotton is
put upon the European market. Among
other things it was asserted, and the aaser-
ton we believe has not been contradicted,
that the bales of cotton received from India
and Egypt are put up with neatnets and
completeness OF finish that forms striking
contrast 10 the clumsy, ragged, unpreposses-
iag appearance of American baled cotton.
The fact is one that should receive the
best attention from our planters, ginners,
pressers and composers. 1t not only should.
but il must receive attention, and reform
ia packing cotton must take place, Tor the
law requires it, and the requirement will be
enforced by penalty that is too serious to
be defed. Exporting merchants, and owners
aud commanders Of boats have been officially
notified by the United States inspectors OF
vessels that it is unlawful for boats TO carry
cotton n pm place TO place unless the bales
are completely pressed, and are thoroughly
covered by a proper frbric, and are secured
with sound rope or serviceable iron bands.
Such is the law as ii appears in the revised
statutes of the United States, and that law is
10 be rigidly enforced, 80 that unless bales
for which transport is required are wholly
inclosed in packing material, and are prop
erIy made up, the officers OF the boats viii
have no other course open to them
than to refuse TO receive and trans
port cotton imperfectly put together
and only partially covered. The penalty
for a violation of the law as to the trans
portation of Improperly packed cotton bales
is SIS a bale, and the bales imperfectly
packed and unlawfully carried are liable TO
seizure and sale for the payment Of the PEN
atty. II the growers and others concerned
10 the package and sale of cotton acted with
an enlightened view to their own interest,
:he interference OF the law never would
have been necessary. After man has
plowed ard planted and picked his cotton it
is clearly to his interest TO put it on the
market in as attractive 4 shape as possible,
80 as 10 present an inviting appearance in
the eyes OF the buyers, yet this finishing
touch OF preparing the bale for market is so
i'll performed that East Indians and Egyp-
;ians do it better than calculating and INTEL
Iigent Americans.

favor of the statesman from little Delaware.
Mr. John g. Thompson is an active politi-
clan Of Ohio, a man of no intellect, but
geed deal Of cunning, and considerable ca
pscity for intrigue. He is the chosen friend,
Indeed the right bower, so to speak, of the
Hon. Allies @. Thurman, and if he should
be made sergeant-at-arms of the House will
use all the influence the position can give
him to carry out the "Ohio idea" in booking
Mr. Thurman's presidential aspirations. Mr..
Thompson, or "Jongee," as the Cincinnati
Enquirer delights to call him, was for elk
years sergeant-4t-arms for a Democratic
House, and We modeslly suggest that he has
been abundantly rewarded for his services TO
the Democratic party, even if We accept his
own highly exaggerated estimate of those
services. We also see it suggested that Mr.
Richard ]. Bright, Of Indiana, now sergeant
alarms of the Senate, is also a candl-
date for the position coveted by "Jongee,"
| and he, too, will be the friend and chosen
| champion OF some one of the several presI-
DENTAL aspiranis from the "Hoosier State
| Whether his fsvorite will be Gov. Hendricks,
Ex-senator Mcdonald, or the Tall Syca-
more OF the Wabash" he cannot at present
| say, bat as Richard is endowed with con-
] siderable talent for intrigue and has keen
eye for his own interests il is safe TO cay that
| he will be found spreading himself" and
using the patronage OF the Office for his can
didate. Upon the whole, if, as now seems
most likely, the Democrats gain the control
of thu next House of Representatives, We
| think it will be advisable for the majority
to ego slow" Without having any "friends
| to reward or enemies to punish" having no
candidate for any position, the APPEAL is
decidedly OF the opinion that the infusion OF
| fresh young blood into our councils and
1 into the public positions 10 be filled by
| the Democratic party will be Of great
] benefit, and will add vastly 10 the strength
| and efficiency OF our time-hOnored Orgsniza-
4. lion. The APPEAL confidently expects 10

K.oxyii,e Horror.

KNOXVILLE, October 18.-The Chronicle
reports that about the hour Of $50 o'clock
Sunday morning the residents in Inc neigh
borhood of Cumberland and State streets
were aroused by startling screams Issuing
from the upstairs apartments IN the brick
building on the northwest corner, occupied
by Frsnk DeArmond and family. The first
parties who arrived in the room found De-
Almond in his BED, with mis- throat cut
almost from ear TO ear, and weltering in his
own gore, which was besmesred all over the
bed and standing in pools over the floor, pre-
sentins a most horrible and sickening APP
pear4nce. IL was also ascertained that the
deed was committed by Diamonds step
daughter, Fanny Igou, a girl about seven
teen or eighteen years OF age, who
bad concealed herself under the bed.
but came out with the rszor-which belonged
70 DeArmond, and with which she COM
mitted the deed-yet in her hand and drip
ping with blood She left the room and
went to her own room and got in bed again,
and il was with some difficulty that she was
gotten out OF her room and arrested By Officer
Hicks, of the police force, who procured a
warrant for her, and alter time she was
taken to Jail. Medical assistance was secured
as soon as possible for Mr.. DeArmnnd, and
the ghastly wound, from which mis- life blood
was fast iricklipg, was closed up and the
flow stopped, 10 some extent. 1t was truly
a scene of horror, when first discovered, and
the rest of the family and other inmates OF
the house were terror stricken at the sight
The cause of the unnatural and horrible deed
seems TO have been that the girl wanted 10 go
to the circus Saturday, but her mother
wouldn't consent TO it, and she made con-
siderable disturbance about it, and was 80
uncomfortable that her mother had Mr..
DeArmond to whip her. This made
| matters worse, and she vowed that she
would kills him Tor it, with his own rszor
| Nothing was thought of the threat, but
| subsequent events proved that she carried il
| out to the letter, and kept her word. Il
seems that the girl has been subject to some.
thing like epileptic fits during her life, snd
is not exactly right in her mental capacity
at times, though at ether times she has actec
with apparently perfect sSnity. DeArmonC
| fingered, as il were, between life and destl
all day Sunday and Monday, but at late-
accounts WAS somewha. revived, with hope
| of pulling through, no: withstanding thu
| frighiful loss of blood. The girl, Fam.
| Igou, remain. in Jail, no investigation hav
ing vet been had in the case.

THEY ARE HATCHED.

The smoke of the recent political battle
in Ohio has scarcely passed away, and yet
the political wire-pullers and managers are
alresdy busily engaged in dividing out the
rewards and honors that il has assumed the
Democratic party has won. Tue Hon.
Samuel J. Randall, Of Pennsylvania, ia
announced as a candidate for speaker OF the
House of Representatives; Mr.. Edward
Livingston Martin, Of Delaware, IS cardi-
date for clerk; and Mr.. John G. ThomP-
son, OF Ohio, it is said, must be returned
to his old position of sergeant-at-arms!
Mr.. Randall has been, for twenty years,
member of the House, and, for five years,
was lis speaker. He is a man of undenia
BILE ability, Is thoroughly familiar with
parliamentary law, and may justly be re-
gaided as a most capable and efficient pre-
siding officer; but his methods in the chair,
his habit of RELOCATING the men of brains and
character to tine tail-end of committees,to say
nothing Of the fact that he is pronounced
protectionist, and the sturdy opponent
of free trade or a revenue tariff, are not cal
culated TO commend him to the popular
mind for the exalted position of speaker OF
the House of Representatives, position
which will enable him to control the legisla-
lion of the country and thus largely dictate
the measures to be adopted by Congress. In
addition to all this, Mr.. Randall is an sspi-
rant for presidential honors, and it is hardly
possible that Democratic representatives. will
place it in his power to enter the national
convention of 1884 with the immense prestige
over all other competitors which the speak
ership would give him. Mr.. Randall can be
more useful on the floor than in the chair.
Mr.. Edward Livingston Martin was elected
to the Foriy-sixth and reelected TO the Forty
ninth Congress, and while he is doubtless
a very respectable gentleman, he has done
absolutely nothing TO elevate him above the
dead level Of mediocrity, or 10 commend him
to consideration for the clerkship Of the
House. Mr.. Martin is a large peach-grower
in Delaware, is a warm friend OF the Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard, and his position of
clerk of the House would enable
him 10 WELD no uncomfortable influence in
