4 Good Move.

The decision Of the Republican Sena-
torial caucus to move the repeal of %
per cent of the duty on sugar, is COM
mendable and ought to command the
approval of every anti-monopolist.
The high tariff on sugar nearly doubles
the cost of the article to every family
that uses it, and the price is so high
that what should be regarded as neces-
sity has come to be luxury with the
poorer classes. Last year We imported
$50, 81. 900 worth of sugar and paid on
it duties to the amount of SAT ,984, 900.
More than one-half the cost of sugar to
consumers, therefore, was in the tax Oh
it. If there were no tariff on the article
its cost to consumers would be one-hali
less than it is at present. Twenty-Five
per cent of the sugar duty was added
seven years ago, for the purpose Of
| yielding an additional revenue for the
sinking fund. The need for this addlt
ional revenue no longer exists, as the
payments on the public debt are greater
than the sinking fund act requires, anC
the additional duty on one of the neces
saries of life should as well be repealed
This is what the Republican caucus ha
;. proposed to do. The Democrats to b,
consistent and just, should sustain thei
movement and the Republicans to b.
consistent and just, should not conin
their effort to reduce the tax becaus
it will affect the interests Of producer
in Southern State. 1t is a good rule
Let it be enforced impartially.

GEN. FUCKERS ASSASSINS DISCOY
Erred.

Special Correspondence of the Appeal.
OKoLoNA, July 13.-Simmons, at the pre-
liminary examination held here this week
confessed to his participation in the murder
of Gen. Tucker. The latter was witness
against old man Shaw in libel suit To get
him out of the way was desirable, as he was
the witness on whose testimony this case
turned. His murder was decided upon by old
man Shaw, who sent to Texas for his son to
come and help him, and also summoned his
son-in-law for the same purpose. The three
agreed to employ Simmons, and all four rode
toward fuckers house, but the son-n-law was
taken with chill and returned home. The
other three went on, and old man Shaw held
the horses until his son and Simmons went to
do the deed. They took position each at the
window and made noise. Tucker opened
that at which Shaw's son was standing to as
certain the cause, VI hen the young man shot
him dead. Young Shaw then returned to
Texas. Simmons feared that be would be
found out, and while making his escape wrote
a letter at the Sipse ferry which he gave to the
ferryman to put in an envelope and post for
him. The feTryman read it and made him.
self acquainted with the contents, and this led
to Simmons arrest and the detection of the
criminals. fuckers murder will no doubt be
avenged.

The Yellow Fever-State Health
Board.


The Vieksburg Herald ''fully agrees
with US "that the Mississippi Board -oi
Health should use every precaution to
prevent the introduction of yellow
fever, case of which has been i'm
ported into New Orleans, which is liza.
BILE to be brought into that city any day
from Havana and other infected places.
The Louisiana Health Board has refused
to extend the time for holding vessels
longer than ten days. Gov. McEnery
has advised that it should be eighteen
days. We happen to know that able
medical men who have made the yellow
fever, and how to ward it off, study.
regard that time as wholly insufficient.
We believe the public opinion in Mis-
sissippi, is fixed that the Health author
tiles of the State should employ the
most heroic measures to prevent the In
PRODUCTION of the disease, and we know
that the Health Board, with the sane
tion of Gov. Lowry, intend to come M
to the full measure of public expecta-
ton in that regard. If our State is to
suffer another yellow fever scourge as it
did in 1878, the Commissioner of Immi-
grafton and his corps of assistants, and
the enterprising citizens who are irving
to introduce foreign capital into the
State, might as well hang their harps
on the willows. If the Health Board Of
Louisiana do not use the necessary
measures for keeping off the pestilence,
the powers vested in the National
Board BY existing laws seem to be am
pie. but # they are not. Congress ought
to. lose no time in providing the need

GAENEsToN, July 16.-About TIVE

with having seduced a young sister of
Leonard Haynes, atBrownsville, where both
Cummings and John L. Haynes, the father

the present session of the District Court.
This evening Cummings met Leonard

Leonard Haynes has not been arrested, and
it is believed that he has crossed over into

THE Columbus Index says that "there
seems to be but little prospect of the
managers of the Georgia Pacific ever
completing their enterprise" We
regret, and are surprised, at this an
nouncement. In the way of franchises,
exemptions ETC., the projectors of the
enterprise were granted all they asked
at the hands Of the Legislature. The
Index says that the twenty miles of
track finished from Columbus would
prove a good start for a road to the
coal mines, and hopes the NJ. & O..
road may be induced to take the enter
prize and build it that far.

Health Measures.

1t would seem that the announcement
of the discontinuance of the inspection
service of the National Board of Health
on the 18th was premature. 1t is by
no means certain that no appropriation
will be made for that purpose. The
Senate has not yet acted and the House
may be induced to reconsider its i'll
advised proceeding. We are gratifed
to state that with the approval of the
Governor, the Executive Committee OF
the State Board of Health, have adopted
a resolution to establish inspection sta
tions at Osyka, on the line that divides
Louisiana and Mississippi, on the Chic
ago. st. Louis & New Orleans Road,
and at Fort Adams, point just below
Vicksburg on the Mississippi river.
The Executive Committee of the State
Board are making all the necessary
preparations for carrying this order into
prompt execution should the national
inspection be discontinued. The Board
consists of Drs. Writ Johnston, G. A

In obedience to the dictates OF eau
Gus of protectionists, bills have been
introduced in both Houses of Congress
to increase the duty on cotton ties. 1t
they should pass, the tax in the aggre-
gate would amount to 5000, 900 that
would be taken out Of the pockets of
the producers of cotton to enable few
manufacturers Of cotton ties in Penn
sylyania to increase their profits. The
st. Louis Republican well says that the
robbery would not be more palpable il
Congress should pass law requiring
every Southern farmer to pay ten cents
a bale on every bale of cotton he raises
to the manufacturers referred to. In
deed, this is precisely what the bill pro-
poses. The Ohio and Pennsylvania
manufacturers demand the increase on
the ground that under the present regu-
lation the duty on ties made of hoop-iron
is less than the duty on plain hoop-lron.
But this only shows the impossibility OF
framing protective tariff that will not
rob somebody for the benefit Of the pro-
tected interests.

BRADsTREET's last report confirms its
previous estimate that the falling off in
the acreage of cotton the present year,
compared with the last, is not less than
6 per cent; and that the crop is from
fifteen to twenty days backward. We
have no doubt but this estimate is cor
rect, and it leaves no reason to believe
that the growing crop can possibly ex-
coed that of last year, which was a mil
lion of bales short of the production Of
the year before.

TIE New York Herald observes that
some slight good viii come to the peo-

on bank checks is certainly not one Of
which the abolition win greatly help the
banks, since it is the customer who
always pays it. But the most striking
help to the people of all these little
helps is the abolition Of the tax on
matches. The tax system concentrated
this industry in 3 few rich houses, and
the abolition makes it free once more
and the price win fall to the ancient
rates.
