Mr.. E. Dryer Grey, member of Parlia-

Jail for contempt of court, has never been
remarkable for mis- respect for the law. He
began life BY running away with his wife,
then Miss Tresdwell, the daughter of a
wealthy contractor, and a ward of court.
Mr.. Grey was arrested, but on submitting to
the court, and agreeing to settle all the
lady's property on herself, he was "dis-
charged with a caution" The late Sir John
Grey, his father, and man of inimitsble
tact, managed 10 pacify the chancellor.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
TUESDAY, ;: AUGUST %, 1882
rHE APPEAL FOE sEpTEnBEE 1.


Oh the LIST of September the APPEAL will
publish mammoth edition, containing the
annual statement OF the trade and commerce
of Memphis. The review of the entire year
will be of great interest, showing the strides
Memphis is making toward the era when
she will stand among the first cities upon the
banks of the Mississippi river. The extern
sion of our railroad connections, the increase
of business facilities, the advance of manu-
features, the prevalence of general pros
perity will be displayed in facts and figures
lndustriously collected and carefully ar
ranged. No effort is spared TO make the state
ment fnll and satisfactory. and the people oil
Memphis can in no way aid the advance
ment of our trade interests more than by cir
culating this annual statement far and wide
among friends and correspondents, that the
increasing importance of the commerce OF
Memphis may be everywhere known and APP
preciated. Our merchants, manufacturer,
and business men generally will find the
APPEAL of September LIST the best medium
offering throughout the year for advertising
their claims to public patronage. Care will
be taken TO present their advertisements in a
taking and attractive style that will readily
gain the readers notice.

THE COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION.

The New York Public thinks it singular
that the exchanges last week should show an
unusual increase at New York, and at the
same an unusual decrease in other cities
The transactions OF the week were generally
slight and irregular. There are men who
have not an abiding faith that everything is
going altogether well; owing 10 this, pur-
chases are less liberal and the distribution of
manufactured products less active than hold
ers could desire; there is, in fact, caution
until the yield of the crop is more thor
oughly known. Since July set in, however,
there has been remarkable hopefulness, for,
although exchanges have not been large,
improvement in grain and in exports bsgins
to be felt. Ii no money striugency occur
business may remain quite satisfactory, but
the money market is dependent upon the
treasury disbursements and European wait
ing for the gold we owe it, 10 an uncomforta-
bic degree. Many OF the banks appear
TO be surrendering circulation as fast SIS
their bonds cease 10 bear interest. The
principal function of the three per cent.
provision of the banking bill appears to be
to disturb the currency as much as possible
As soon as the gold certificates are put out
the retirement of tue silver notes is likely to
be accelerated, but that will not take place
before the middle of September. There has
been some decrease in the estimated amount
of grain, for rains have done much damage
10 winter wheat, and the yield on thrashing
is said to be below expectations in many IN
stances, and returns of corn are lees favor
able than on last year. Unfavorable weather
has caused disappointment to some extent as
10 all the crops. The proceedings OF the
bankers convention commanded attention,
but the elaborate and extremely interesting
statistical reports of Controller Knox are
missed. The prophets of evil have
little 10 say; immigration has added
sensibly to our population; railroad
earnings in many instances show in
creased earnings in the face of crop
deficiency, large business is doing without
speculative expansion, and Europe is likely
TO take literally of our produce. The actual
trade balance owing by us to Europe is still
presumed to be comparatively large, and it
would require a heavy movement of produce
thither to liquidate the balance go tba,
Europe would have to send US gold for our

LEIGH SMITH
And the Crew of thc Ezra Rescued-Hfs
Experience.

LONDON, August 2l.-The steamer Hope,
comm anded by Sir Allen Young, c. which
left here in juno last in search of the crew of
the steamer Ezra. has arrived at Peterhead
with the entire crew of that vessel. The
Hope picked them up in Matotshkin straits,
Nova Zsmbla, on the Sd of August, they hav-
ing lost their ship off Franz Josef Land, and
journeyed in boats TO the straits through the
ice. Leigh Smith, comm ander.of the Ezra,
gives the following account of its experienc:
"On July IS, 1881, we steamed through q
pack OF ice, and ten days later sighted Franz
Josef Land. We proceeded toward Cape
Ludlow, which was close to the pack TO the
nsrthward. August ID we went up Night
ingale Sound and thence to Ezra Harbor,
and erected a storehouse. On the 10Th we
started east to look for the Jeanette, but
were unable 10 pass Bshring Hook. On Au-
gust 2lst we got nipped between land foe
and pack of ice mile east of Cape Flora,
and sank before we were able 10 save many
stores. We built hut on Cape Flora of turf
aud stone and covered i: with our sails. We
win.ered there, and during the time no scurvy
appeared. Twenty-nine walruses and thirty
six bears were killed and eaten. We left
Cape Flora June 81, 1882, in four boats,
sailed eighty miles without seeing any ice,
and reached Nova Zembla August I'd. When
the Ezra was nipped the leak gained so rap
idly that in two hours after it was discovered
it was necessary to abandon the ship. Hard
ly had the last men left the vessel when the
ice eased and the Ezra rapidly sank. A tent
was first erected on the ice and house was
built

AN OPEN LETTER
From Colonel Chandler to the Hon. w.
HI. HI. TisOn.

CoRIsTH, Miss, August 5, 1882.
To the Hon. w. H. II. Tison:
My DEAR CoLoNEL-I did not expect you
to publish in the newspapers extracts from
my private letter. but if you can afford it
can. If your object WAS TO magnify your
devotion to your party, and improve your
political prospects, / am graIifed that gave
you chance 10 advertise that maidenly Diff
dence that is 60 remarkable in a politician
of your age, and at time when slavish ad-
herence TO party is not regarded as one Of
the cardinal political virtues. II your pur-
pose wss 10 ipjure Colonel Muldrow in his
canvass for the nomination, deprecate such
result, for / am utterly impartial as between
all the candidates, open or secret, for that
nomination.
Your disclaimer of being the man wanted
ls premature, as you will see when explain.
While l am a Republican on the great
national questions oil currency, tariff inter-
nal improvements and the nationality of the
government, hold every question as SUBJ
ordinate to pure elections; and this is the
view OF all Republicans, Greepbackers, In
dependents, and of many Democrats; and it
Is believed that IN the northern portion of
this congressional district, where elections
are usually fair, many of the best men of all
parties have grown tired of the habitual
prostitution of the ballot in other counties,
and would vote accordingly with fair oppor-
tunity. Now, the precise man wanted was
one who would offer that opportunity-who
would fifty represent pure elections, not in
mere professions, but in fact and in truth;
and if you are not that man, then, indeed,
mistake was made, and the hight compli-
ment of the invitation to you to lead the
movement is cheerfully withdrawn, with sim
cere regret that you do not come up to the
high standard required.
As am in no sense 4 politician looking
hopefully to the future, my political opin-
ions and affiliations are less important to the
people than you deem yours to be. But
solely for your delectation l will answer
your inquiries on one point. Men who are
devoted to law and order to en-
able them TO shake off party for the public
good, are necessarily in favor of mitigating
the evils of drunkenness in any practical
way; but, il our temperance reformers,
many circumstances indicate, hold their
movement subordinate to party unity and
interest, when the test comes to be m ade, as
it will, it is confidently believed that the
liquor interest will give the State free bal
lot, in return for the privilege OF smaintain-
ing the business, and for one ~shall follow
the banner that bears in goQSfaith the motto
Of fair elections and an 6est count of the
votes. Yours very truly

FORT SMITH, ARK.
Important Railroad MeetiHg- Demo-

Expected.

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
FORT SMITH, ARK, August 18.-On last
night an interesting railroad meeting was
held. On the 26th of last October the Frisco
railroad directors felt the pulse of Fort
Smith to ascertain how bad she wanted a
railroad. A large meeting of the citizens
was held, and a subscription of $4,000 was
raised, conditional upon the introduction of
the track and location of handsome depot
and large machine-shops of that road in
this city. Some of our leading citizens
entered into covenant with the directors,
oblgating themselves to secure tract of
forty acres for the machine-shops and the
rightof- through Fort Smith and depot
grounds. The railroad authorities are now
ready to begin work between this place
and Van Buren,, and they now want
to see what Fort Smith is going
to do. The committee reports that they had
interviewed the owners of the property de-
sired by the railroad for a road-bed, m schine
shops and depot grounds, and their aggregate
price was S34,000 A lofty estimated Will
our people try 10 kill the goose that lays the
golden egg? Do they desire to make thou
sands out of that for which mere paltry
sum was paid? Will they allow the enter
prising and public-spirited bondsmen TO suf-
fer because of their extortion? Will they
demand these large sums, when they know
the properly can be condemned by process of
law and not one-tenth OF this excessive de-
mand will be given? Many Of the citizens
have come forward and offered their property
at reasonable rates, and it is hoped that the
obstinate few will reconsider their injudicious
step and not force the railroad to resort TO a
court of law.
1t is believed that trains on this road will
be running into this place at so early day
as the FIRST of October.
A Democratic township convention was
held in this city on the 18th instant for the
purpose of nominating five justices of the
peace and a constable. A full ticket was
nominated and all the candidates will be
elected at the general election in September
The county candidates are making general
canvass for the purpose of having an over
whelming Democratic majority. The Repub-
licsns have put forth ticket of county
officers. But their sad fate was long ago
determined.
On the 1st Of September the morning train
leaving Fort Smith for Little Rock will
leave here at o'clock instead of 4 O'Clock, a
change that is welcomed by all.
Despite the dullness of the season every
where, this place is full OF strangers and
buildings are being built all the time. "a
great immigration is expected here this fall.

STRIKES AND TARIFF

We sympsthize with the laboring masses
in their war with the capitalists who prosper
by grinding the poor laborer. The whole
tendency of the legislation of the Republi-
can party is to make the rich richer, and the
poor poorer. Unless there be change, the
Iaboring masses of America will soon be as
much at the mercy of monopolies as they
are in Europe. How laboring men can
