To the Editors of the Appeal
1t is currently reported this evening on
the streets that the 50-6 settlement bill has
passed the House of Representatives on its
third read ng and was hurried through the
Senate on first reading. On Monday next it
will be pushed through on second reading,
and on Tuesday will come up for third and
final consideration, with the chances
in favor of its becoming law. d.
the txpayers of Memphis know what
this means? A few, doubtless, do, but the
great body of the people, we apprehend, do
not realize that it means $50 900 to $50, 900
annually to pay the interest on the public
debt of the city; that the coupons receiv-
able for every description OF Indebtedness to
the Taxing District for all taxes OF every
kind. These coupons, under the operations OF
this law, may close our schools, cut off the
supplies OF food and medicine for the hos
pital, stop the salaries of policemen and hre-
men aud turn the community over 10 the ten
der mercies of overhows. All these hideous
things are not only possible, but probable,
as the rate of taxation would be so alarm
ingly high that it would not only deter cspi-
tai and population from coming among us,
but would drive much away that is already

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
HOLLY SPRINGS, April 21-On Thursday
morning, the second day of the grand con-
clave, the knights, preceded by the silver
cornet band, marched from the square TO the
depot to meet the visitors who arrived by
the morning train. In the afternoon the
knights paraded upon the public square,
preceded by the band, and with their snowy
regalia and graceful drill made an imposing
spectacle. A grand banquet was given in the
evening to the Grand Commandery, in the
audience-room of the Masonic Hall. At
$50 O'Clock the banquet began. The visit
ing knights, with their ladies, first descended
from the upper chambers of the hall to the
large room below, where the banquet was
spread. The tables, which were made in the
shape of the several Masonic emblems, fairly
groaned with the weight of the delicacies
with which they were loaded. There was
nothing wanting to make the banquet a
complete success, and such, indeed, il proved
After the visitors left the tables, they were
again filled by the Knights OF the local COM
mandery and their ladies. These were fol-
lowed BY the citizens. The entire company
then retired to the banquet hall and the
toasting and speech-making began, nor did it
end until after l o'clock Friday morning.
Misses Scruggs and Walter, by request re-
peated their recitations of the previous even
ing. Mrs. James II. Watson, who trained
all the young ladies in elocution, is not a
teacher at the college nor professional elo-
cutionist, but undertook this labor OF her
own accord, and certainly, if success ia a
compensation, she has been fully repaid for
her praiseworthy efforts. Shortly after l
o'clock in the morning the benediction was
pronounced and the large ssse mbly dispersed
The banquet was declared by all to be a
complete success.

last three days, by the visit of the Knights

of the State rs. Amanda Scott, colore3. for

murder Jim Woods has gone to the peniten.

The important ease of Emily Bryant >. the

Either these magistrates had done Their
duty in sending all the evidence they
could to the Castle, in advising constantly
on the state Of their count y, in pointing
out the village ruffians' who ought to be
imprisoned, or they had done nothing.
In either case they should be deprived of
their commission if the former, for men
dacity, if the latter, for criminal negli-
gence."
The farmers thereupen produced petit
lions for there lease of the suspects and
asked the sympathetic landlords to sign

themselves upon either horn of the dilem-

refuge in shutting. sneakinga and pre-

little nasty system of speculation going on

So says the Chicago Tribune and its
testimony is undoubted authority. The
Tribune is at present disguised and in vent
ing its spleen is guilty of telling party Sc
crets that in other times it would keep
hid. The gist of the whole matter is, that
under publican administration abuses
have arisen and grown strong and lusty,
that it is beyond the power or inclination
of said republican administration to correct.
Thieves have. grown rich and powerful
through their theiving, and the party finds
itself incapable of Furnishing them Is it
not then time to throw out not only the
thieves, but the party which makes their
knavery possible, and put in one that will
make thorough overhauling and effect
cure for our disgraceful official dishonesty?

The outcome of the Hawkins case il
Chicago Thursday, was disgrace to the
city. The Hawkins were on trial fol
keeping gambling house and of the truth
of the charge there was not then or is moi
now, the slightest doubt. The prosecution
was backed by prominent business man
who was much in earnest in the matter
and it seemed, if the law was of any avail
that these gamblers must be brought to
justice. But jury was packed and so
they escaped.
If our laws are worth anything they
must be enforced and it is impossible to
do this unless the officers sworn to carry
them out do their duty. There must be
something sadly lacking in Chicago courts
that case of known guilt has so easily
escaped punishment

Off Not the man who raised the exported
products in the United States and sold
them abroad, not the tax payer, for the
United States get nothing. The wrong
man gets the money, and they call that adj
ding to the wealth of the country. When
the 100000 worth of our products goes
abroad and is sold there, the balance of
trade it is said, is this: 800, 600 export
ed, nothing imported, and the United
States is 100000 richer. Though the
United States got nothing, the man who
sold his goods abroad would have been
$35, 900 better off if Congress had let him
alone. and the New England man, who
made the money had no interest in the,
trade and no right to make anything out
of it"
