CeNKLING BOUGHT BY JAY GOULD.
WASHINGTON, August 3d. There is an
interesting chapter known here in regard to
the relations recently shown TO exist between
Mr.. Conkling and Jay Gould. After Mr..
Conkling had failed of reelection his friends
set themselves earnestly at work to unravel
the political combinations by which Mr..
Robertson had been made collector and by
which Mr.. Plat and himself were defeated
for the Senate. 1t was soon found that the
study of this subject carried them back into
the presidential campaign in fact, as far
back as the winter before the Chicago con-
vention met. 1t was not long before Mr..
Conkling was in possession of the very i'm
portant part which Jay Gould played
through agents at Albany in the election
of Senator Platt The amount of money
which was used on this occasion be-
came known 10 Mr.. Conkling. Accord
ing TO his inform alton this work was
first step Ia securing the confirms alton of Mr..
Robertson, when he should be afterward
nominated as collector. The facts connected
with the pledge taken from Mr.. Plat also
became known to him. Mr.. Conkling's
friends here, as well as those of Collector
Robertson, were for some weeks in daily ex-
pectations of the publication of the whole
story as Mr.. ConkliDg had learned it. AT a
late date his friends ascertained that he had
been retained in very important cases which
Mr.. Gould controlled, and that he did not
feel at liberty to make public what he knew
about the Platt-Robertson matter while his
legal employment in Mr.. Gould's cases con-

ANEST the declared purpose of the Valley
Cotton Oil Mill to put up machinery for
the manufacture Of Ice by the, ammoniacal
process, we End in the New York Tribune
a statement that an ice machine suitable for
private houses, or for steamers, ambulances
and 50 on, has been devised by NJ. Raoul
Pictet on the principle of his larger ma
chine. 1t is capable Of producing two pounds
of ice in fifteen minutes, or about ten pounds
per hour, with an expenditure of less than
horsepower of energy. 1t consists of a
compression pump actuated by the motor
employed to yield the power; freezer sur
rounding the cylinder of the pump, and an
other in which is placed the vessels contain
ing the water to be frozen. These parts are
all grouped into machine standing about
four feet high and eighteen inches square.
The process is as follows: Sulphuric anhy-
bride is placed in the freezer around the the
cylinder, and on working the pump the evap-
Grafton absorbs large quantity of heat
from well of glycerine constituting the
freezer by which the waller to be frozen is
surrounded. The sulphuric anhydride is
carried by the pump into a condenser where
it is iquefed, and in the act yields up a GER
tain quantity Of heat. The condenser is kert
cool by the circulation of water.

ARKANSAS CITY, August so.-our town

The merchants of Memphis must revive
the chamber OF commerce and establish a
grain exchange. The latter is a necessity OF
the rspid growth of the grain trade, and the
FORMER OF the necessities OF the general trade
and increasing manufactures of the city.
In the absence Of Chamber of Commerce,
the APPEAL has found it impossible to reach
the receipts and shipments of the year which
closes to-day, figures which are essential to
an accurate statement OF the trade and

Commerce was in existence under the SUPER
intendence of Mr.. John s. Toof, the statistics
of every branch of trade were accurately
kept, and the imports and exports by river
and rail. These statistics were found valu-
able ss means of measuring the growth OF
the city, and were always source
|of pride to the merchants. The Cotton Ex-

PENNsYLVANIA,
THE DEMOCRATS IN PERFECT READINESS Fo
SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN.

A SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN.
PHILADELPHIA, August 3O-The Pennsyl.
vania campaign has fairly set in. The three
committees having in charge the Interests OF
the three candidates, Beaver, Stewart and Pat
tison, are hard at work. The State has been
carefully districted and canvassers appointed
in each district. Headquarters are estab-
lished here and they are all pressed with
work. Chairman Hensel, of the Democratic
State Committee, is by far the brightest of
the chairmen. Neither Cooper nor Mckee
can touch him in executive ability. He
knows that Cooper is tricky and that Came
ron has plenty of money. He also knows
that the people are against bossism. He has
divided the State up most completely. He
knows already just where 20 expecE success
and where to anticipate defeat When No
yeniber arrives Cameron and his satellites
will find that although they thought they
knew Hense, they didn't. He will be one
ahead of them, and he will bring the Demo-
cratic party out ahead also.
=-OLD-- SIMON CAMERON on 1Hk SITUATION.
HARRISBURG, Pa, August 30.-General
Simon Cameron was interviewed on Monday
respecting the statement attributed to him
in which he said the Independent movement
in this State was started to further the in
terests of free trade. The general said he
believed such to be the fact. "The reasons
which compel me TO such belief" he said,
"are briefly as follows: First, all Indepen-
dents have been and yet pretend to be Re-
publicans. The free-trsde Democracy fur
nish no recruits TO this guerilla army. Sec
ond, the only result of the Independent
movement, if successful, must be to defeat
the tariff Republican party and
restore to power the free-trade De-
mocracy. Third, it is not necessary
to establish this statement by argument
Senator Mitchell has said 30 distinctly. The
election of the Independent ticket will over
throw the protective tariff. Fourth, all the
prominent free-trade newspapers outside of
Pennsylvania are intensely eager for the
defeat of the Republican party in Pennsyl
vania. The most ultra Democratic free
trade papers outside of Pennsylvania are
careful not to defeat the Republicans by the
open election of Pattison, but by urging
every one to vote for Stewart. There must
be special reason for this singular unan-
unity, and 1 believe / have given it. The
Independents have dragged in the name of
our martyred president to the support of a
theory which in his life he never Endorsed.
The whole independent movement is a mass
of inconsistency"
