LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

An Error of Date Made by General w. j.
Smith for fhe Purpose of Misleading
To the Editors of the Appeal:
l notice in your report of General w. ].
Smiths speech at the bolters' convention on
Saturday last, that Smith characterised the
circular issued by the Republican Executive
Committee of Shelby county, on the 3Olh
ultimo, as pack OF lies, and, 10 prove his
assertion, referred TO this clause in said cir
eular, to-wit: at meaning the self consti-
tuttd bolters' Federal ring committed repre-
sents the parties who, In 1868, bolted from
the regular congressional convention, held at
the operahouse in Memphis, and went to The
United States marshaPs office, and there set
up for themselves and nominated w. J..
Smith for Congress and ran him against the
regular nominee of the party, and thus se-
cured the election of Democrat to Congress
when the district was strongly Republican" !"
And charged that it was false, and said that
in that year the convention was held In an
other county, and that he was nominated and
elected TO Congress and served his time out
The facts stated in said charge are true in
every particular, but they occurred in 1870
instead of 1868, as stated in the circular.
And now, by way of illustration, / desire 10
ask the general, as lawyer, this question,
to-Wit: III you were indicted for stealing a
horse In 1868, and, upon the trial, 1t should
appear from the proof that you stole the
horse, but that you stole him in 1870, and
not in 1868, as charged in the indictment,
do you think that would be any defense be-
fore the court and jury?
Do you not know as a lawyer that the
allegation in an indictment OF the time at
which an offense was committed is imma-
teriaI and need not be proved as laid, except
in few cases where time is of the essence OF
the ofense?
Did you not know when you were making
your speech that in a second edition OF the
circular the error in the date had been cor
rected?
And did you not take advantage of this
error in date with the deliberate purpose of
and deceiving the people and
making them believe that the facts stated
were not true because they did not occlr on
the date named? INQUIRER.

The weekly Review OF the Mark Lane
Express.

LONDON, September 1.-THE Marx Lane
Express, in its review of the grain trade for
the past week, says it is probable that no
great damage to wheat has been caused
hitherto by the weather. II may be safely
assumed, however, what will be discolored
the market will continue to decline, the con-
dition of new wheat being such as to compel
quick sales. Prices have declined about
three shillings. New -four is also cheaper.
Mailing barley firm, grinding sort cheaper.
Oats, beans and peas unchanged. Wheat in
London Ia completely demoralized, and only
retail sales made. The market is beginning
to be glutted for all positions, granary stocks
being very heavy. At port the discharge of
arrivals during the week has been very lib
eral. The cargo trade was rather surfeited
with supply. Buyers are awaiting lower
rates. Twenty-six fresh wheat cargoes ar
rived. There were sixteen sales, twenty
withdrawn and twelve remain, including ten
red winter Sales of English wheat the past
week, 42,243 quarters at As Cd, against
81, $50 quarters, at 54s Sd, same time last
year.

Outside Of New York SsS
: Columbus and Portland are not included
in the totals.
1t is difficult 10 institute fair comparison
between the exchanges of the past with the
corresponding week last year, owing to the
fact that during the week last year they
were materially disturbed by the unusual
day of fasting and prayer on account of
President Garfield. Consequently, at tine
leading cities the comparison below is be-
tween six days this year and five last year.
The record of the full week both years would
have consequently presented an upfavorsble
statement. Aggregate clearipgs for the week
just closed, 81 ,070 $50 ,575, against 81 ,049
94S The previous week, as compared with the
corresponding week last year. The clear
ings show percentage of increase of 17.2,
against loss of 19 per cent. last week, and
loss OF 1876 per cent. the previous week.
The backwardness in the movement in trade
noted for some weeks past still continues.
The manufacturing cities continue to make a
very favorable exhibit. Among the Western
cities the principal one which shows gain
is Kansas City, where the percentage of in
crease amounts to 45.3 per cent, against a
gain OF 46.1 per cent. last week. Chicago
shows decrease of 12.7 per cent, against a
falling off of 1914 per cent. last week, and a
decline OF IL 8 per cent. the previous week.
st. Louis records an increase of rs per cent,
against gain OF OIL per cent. last week, and
a gain of OIL per cent. the previous week.
Cincinnati shows decrease of 21.7 per cent,
against an increase of % per cent. last week.
Milwaukee shows a decrease of SO per cent,
against decrease of Sc per cent. last week.
Peoria shows an increase of 2S.2 per cent,
against a decrease Of GA per cent. last week.
Indianapolis shows decrease of Sc per
cent, sgainst decrease of 9.5 per cent. last

At Chattanooga.

Special to the Appeal
CHATTANOOGA, September 11.-Hawkina
and his show reached this place at 4:3O
o'clock this afternoon. No demonstration
whatever was made over them at the depot;
no brass band, carriage and horses awaited
any of them. They spoke in James Hall to
an audience numbering $50, composed nearly
entirely of Republicans. There were about
eight negroes to every three white men.
Hawkins opaned the debate, and made his
usual exhortationr, the negroes alone ap-
plauding his effort, which was the poorest
yet made.
DR.. Simms introduced FusselI, amid slight
applause by the Republicans.
As usual, after Hawkins finished the crowd
began to leave the building. For the Grst
time RUSSELL dared to accuse Hawkins of
disfranohising him. He said it as though
under protest of his judgment and conscience,
and not as bold freeman. The boilers
claimed to have fifty brethren present. To-
ward the last of the speaking, while Beasley
was on the floor, considerable bad order was
had. The house thinned down to half of the
original number.

Mr. K. MCCLURE, editor of the Philadel-
phia Times, who has fully exposed the bar
gain of Condor 10 sell $4,000 Land League
votes in Pennsylvania to Boes Cameron, has
created a great stir among the brethren Of
that orgsnizati in all of the States, and
coming upon the heels of the excitement
over the lost skirmishipg fund is filling the
average Irish mind with distrust of all such
associations From what Mr.. Mcclure Gays
Cameron is carrying out his part OF the con-
tract, sanguine of Condon's ability to deliver
the Irish vote to him on election day.
Through the influence of the boss, Condor
has been assigned oslensibIy TO official duty in
Pennsylvania, and is now in Philadelphia
He receives full pay as an officer and full
expenses for travelling from the government,
bat, as Delaney says: "Condon will have
dollars and cents as the paramount interest, I"
and he is now being largely paid out of the
party assessment robbery, in addition TO his
official pay, to deceive and betray the Land
League voters into the support of the boss
system that has created the almost omnipo-
nent monopoly power in state and nation.

As is well known, Diplomacy is considered
an unlucky play by the profession. Here is
list of its so-c2lled victims: Montague,
Crisp, FLOYD, Carroll, Broughsm, Beckett

Then there is John Wilson, who played in
the first run of the play in San Francisco,

Jim Currie. All dead.
The Boston Herald states that Miss
Msther's "Juliet" is the ideal Juliet, an ex-
preston which will be conveniently misun-
dersiood. The Chicago Tribune considers
the experience of Miss Mather phenomenal
a rather large word. The Chicago Times is
far more guarded in its praise, and far more
sensible, enc is inclined 30 think; it states
that Miss Mather has power, but that her
faults are also conspicuous; that, in fine, she
has not passed the point of promise.

THE verdict of the jury in the star-route

THE verdict Of the jury in the Star-route
cases will not satisfy-we cannot say it will
disappoint-the country. In view of the
statement made by Judge Wylie last week
that efforts had been made to bribe jurors
the result is reflection upon the jury. 1t
will be generally taken for a confirmation of
that statement and that some of the twelve
men were paid to defeat the ends of Justice.
This seems to be the opinion of the Judge
himself. At the most, two men seem to have
controlled the jury-two out of twelve.
Tea OF them believed Brady and J. w.
Dorsey guilty of robbfng the government as
charged, and nine of them were convinced
that Ex-senator s. w. Dorsey is guilty Of
robbing the government charged, and as
10 all the robbers but Turner the vote of the
jury stood eight for conviction and four for
acIuittaL, Why ten could not overcome
two OK eight overcome four men with 60
zasny factsis mystery that perhaps will
hoFeH bo Sieheu UP. DuL the Ver01cts oil
the eight and the len are strong enough
10 emphasize the already declared
public verdict thst the Slar-route robbers
are as guilty as the whisky thieves of the
Grant ring; that they are as guilty as the
Credit MObiIier gang or the navy ring, and
that the Republican party is responsible for
their robberies-tbe chief rObber being the
secretary of the National Republican Core
mittee aud the author, alder and sbettor of
theballoi-box swindles by which Indiana was
carried for Garfield. All the water in the
ocean csanot wash away the, stain of guilt
froa S.W. Dorsey or his pal, Brady. Ten of
the jury of twelve that tried them believe
them guilty and the people everywhere be-
lieve them guilty. OF course the prisoners
will be put upon trial again. Let US hope |
for better results.

The totals as 10 last years crop of cotton
have come to hand, and they are very instruct
i've. The total number of bales produced
was 5,4S5 s45. OF this the United States
consumed 1886, ,206 bales, the Northern mills
1861 ,206, or 25,59S bales less than the year
before, and The Southern mills 23S,OO0, or
$4,000 more than the year before. The New
York Chronicle says that in the census year
Mr. Atkinson, the statistician OF Boston, fig
ured out the consumption per spindle North
65S3, and South 1877. That season had,
like this, dry, clean crop in lightweight
bales; the intermediate season the bales
were damp, lower grade and heavy. This
year the new aud improved spindles have
probably increased the capacity per spindle
in both the North and South 10 say sixty
seven pounds North aud 15S pounds South

The Happy FemiIy at Cleveland.

Special to the Appeal
CLEVELAND, September 1.-THE Republi-
can Senatorial and Joint County Conven-
dons were held here to-day in the court
house. E. II. Mathes, of McMinn,ws non,i-
mated for senator, and T. E. Brouder, OF Polk,
for foater. The convictions brought about
200 Republicans to town. After the conyen-
tion the crowd repaired to the opershoue to
hear the Hawkins combination speak the
same old speeches made by each candidate.
Nothing new was said or done. Bradley
county politics are exceptional TO that of any
other county in which the combination have
apoken. There are about seveniy-iYe Green
blckers in the county, and not over dozen
will vote for Beasley. Most Of them are Re-
publicans, who find Hawkins too high-tax,
and Bate too Democratic; go they have
compromised on Greenback platform, but
say 1t is no use 10 throw away votes on
Beasley, and help 10 elect a man who is
further away from their figure on the debt
than Bate. There is said to be but one high
tax man in the county. He will vote for
Fussell very reluctantly. Bets we're offered
in Cleveland after the speaking that RUSSELL
would not get 2sO votes in East Tennessee,
and we're not taken.

their decision, and would not yield. Speak
ing of the verdict,
MFRRICK

said that the vote of the jury on conspiracy
stood eight for conviction and four for ac-
quittal, the four being Dickson, Holman
Brown and Martin. The interchange OF
votes, he said, between the recalcitrant four,
is one of the most mysterious things that
ever occurred in the transactions OF q jury.
1t can only be accounted for by something
that was neither in the proof nor made the
subject of argument. The government will
proceed Immediately to take such steps
as may be necessary TO discover
the. guilty parties on the charge OF
bribery, now made apparent in this case. 1t
will also Immediately summon its witnesses
and proceed to try parties in regard to
whom there was disagreement, and 1t may
reasonably be expected that with a retrial of
this Indictment, and the trial Of other indiet-
ments against Brady, the Criminal Court
will be occupied until the first of February,
If not longer, though counsel for the govern
nent are well worn down with their labors,
and are net disposed TO resume them until
the 1st or 18th OF October.
COLONEL ISGERsoLL
thought the verdict a singular one. The de-
tense expected, and had a right to expect,
verdict OF not guilty. The only result, how
ever, would be the additional expense subse-
quent to the trial of the defendants, those con-
victed and those upon whom the jury disa-
greed. The jury in the next trial, he said,
would find verdict of not guilty.

LIMERICK, September 11.-Frsncis Hynes
was hanged at O'Clock this morning.
Hynes endured the pinioning and recited
his prayers calmly. Only slight tremor
was perceptible Immediately before the bolt
was drawn. Death was almost instapta-
neous. large crowd outside the Jail
waited the hosting of the black flag, many
praying for the convict's soul. It is not
known whether Hynes made a statement
previous to his death, but it is certain that
up TO Sunday he denied any completely in
the murder. A military guard was held in
readiness, and 700 extra policemen from the
southern counties were drafted TO Limerick
in view of the possibility of disturbance.
During Sunday prayers for Hynes were Of
fered in many of the Catholic churches in
counties Limerick and Clare
