special Correspondence of the Appeal


JACKSON, June 23.-We feel here as if we
had been taken up and transported bodily
into the torrid zone. Linen ulsters, palm-leaf
fans and ice-water are the articles in most de-
mand here just now.
Our city was the scene of double muir
der last Sunday evening about dark. Jim
Coleman, colored, shot Joe Beck, colored,
and Silas McGhee, colored, fatally wounding
the former, from the effects OF which he dled
the next day, and killing the latter on The
spot. The quarrel was between Coleman
and Beck, about a negro woman. She was
tried as an accomplice before Esquire
Thompson, but was released. Coleman es-
capped, and has not yet been captured. Ed
Cody, a personal friend of Joe Beck, snd
who was also present at the difficulty, iell
from a moving train near Greenfield Nednes-
day night and was killed.

CHARLOTTE, Y. c., June ga terrible af-
fair occurred here last night, caused by a
husbands faithlessness TO his wife. 1t seems
that William Wade and his wife have re-
Gently quarreled, the cause of which was the
undue attentions of Wade TO ClaTinda
Husky, a woman who lived in another por-
ton OF this city. Meetings between the
woman and Wade have taken place often
recently in the house of George Dean, and
the deserted wife had heard where her hus-
baud was in the habit of spending his even
ings. Last night, her husband not returning
home, she went to Deans house, and caught
sight of Wade and the woman in an upper
room. Maddened with rage, and with the
hope of forcing her husband to
leave the woman, she began to throw
rocks upon the house. Dean, the
proprietor, came TO the door and
ordered her to desist, but she, not needing
him, continued to rain stones upon the build
ing. The fellow then deliberately went
back and got musket, and, returning 10 the
door, fired upon the wronged wife, while her
husband was still upstairs. The charge
went into the thigh of the unfortunate wo-
man. The gun was loaded with slugs, and
twenty-five ragged holes were found in the
woman's body. She fell to the ground with
out uttering q word, and her death is but a
matter Of a few hours. Clarinda Husky
soon after the murder rushed from the house
and has not been found; but Wade, the faith
less husband, and Dean have heen arrested.

In n Quandary.



Last winter great religious revival was
held in a certain Ohio neighborhood, and
several good men brought all their influence
to bear on a certain farmer named Harris.
After many efforts he was brought to the
anxious seat, and then they had the happi-
ness of hearing him announce that ne felt
himself saved. In the course OF three or
four days the minister met him and asked:
'fWell, Brother Harris, how do you feelF'
"Oh, kinder plaguey mean, was the reply.
"You do! What is the trouble"
"Well, hadn't found the Lord over twenty
minutes before run across fruit tree agent
who beat me out of SIS last year. There
was, ready to fly into the gates OF heaven,
and there he was, chuckling to think OF how
he worked off lot of crab apple trees on me

ton; that this a battle within the party,
and that the minority ought to submit TO the
will of the majority. These boilers will
carry but few Democrats with them, for they
have not the people at their backs, az did
the boilers Of 1850. The present Is not one
of those great emergencies which justify and
demand revolutionary action-least OF all,

For the sake OF the men engaged
in this boiling movement we trust
they will call halt and fail to make

success OF General Bate, the Democratic
nominee, We earnestly hope they will
nominate a candidate for governor, for
they will eDdanger the success of the
Democratic party less by throwing away
vote on a weak Independent candidate, than
by casting their vote for Hawkins, who will
receive the solid Republican vote. If the
boilers nominate a candidate, he will receive
fifteen or twenty thousand votes, which would
should fail to make nomination many of
these fifteen or twenty thousand boilers would
cast their vote for the Republican candidate,
and az every vote thus cast would be equal
to two, Hawkins would gain strength by the
failure of the boilers to put

of the times plainly indicate that
the boilers, either with or without candi-
date, cannot defeat the Democratic Domi-
nee. General w. B. Bate has more enthu-
siastic personal friends than any man in
Tennessee. He is a man of invulnerable
record, of answering Democratic faith.
He is an interchangeable worker, a dashing
speaker, a man OF unble mished character
and int gritty, leader who has been posi-

that he will inspire an enthusiasm that has
not been felt in Tennessee for years.

TENNESSEE POLITICS.

Politics in Tennessee have become mock
cry and farce. Those who two years ago
were loudest in denouncing the boilers are
now the leaders of the boilers. Juvenile
Democrats mount the rostrum or the tripod
and read out of the party veteran Demo
Gratis who were fighting the battles of the par
ty when they were in their swaddlipg clothes.
Men who repudiate forty cents of the State
debt hold up their hands in holy horror at
the inf smoas proposition of repudiating ten
cents more than they propose to repudiatel
1t is all right and marvelously proper to
repudiats forty cents on the dollar, but an
atrocious crime to repudiate still ten cents
less on the dollar. The hands of these i'm
maculate champions of State honor are
dripping with the filth of forty cents repu-
diation; but they hang their heads in shame
at the idea that there is a Democrat base
enough to repudiste few cents more. Men
who advocate the payment of every dollar
of the State debt with all its accrued interest
have a right to condemn those who would
scale any portion of our lab lities, but for
those who favor a reputation of forty cents
on the dollar to talk about the iniquity of
reputation is only equaled by the audacity
of the drunken temperance lecturer denounc-
ing the evils of intemperance.

TIE RoLrERs coNyEnuos.

Inc ooiters propose to hold convention
at Nashville on the 11th of July. 1t is to
be hoped that the Democrats engaged in this
ill-judged and unjusti6able movement will
retrace their hasty and impetuous steps. In
raising the standard of revolt they will not
be sustained by the people. The demonstra-
tion made at Nashville on Thursday last by
the boilers struck no terrors to the great
Democratic heart of Tennessee. When it
was announced that they were to meet
at the capital, it was supposed that there
would be an outpouring of the people, a
popular protest calculated to demor-
alize all true Democrats and TO impress
the belief that the election of Haw-
kline and Republican Legislature were
assured facts. The boilers spent the
whole night in csnvassing, drumming and

Special correspondence oil the Appeal
BROWNSVILLE, June 24.-Under the shade
of the trees in the courtyard, in front OF the
Gait House, and on the street corners groups
of men may be seen at all hours Of the day in
earnest talk over State politics. The low
tax and harmony men are all smiles; they
plant their feet on the new platform and
hurrah for Bate. But the State-credit No an
honest soul that he is, and who has never
worn the pale plume of harmony, and who
had rather see his party right than victorious,
is not SO sure Of his footing. He smells
rotten wood, holds his ear close 10 one of the
planks and hears distinctly the chink, chink
of the reputation sawyer. That structure
will never do, he says; mount it, never can.
The Hon. Jesse W. Harper, of Illinois,
made powerful anti monopoly speech in
the courthouse here Friday. He is plain,
blunt man, of good sense, with the granger
air of the West about him, and Calhoun
poise of the head. To the charge of tele-
graph, bank and railroad capitalists he lays
nearly all the misery of the working classes.
DeTorqueville was quoted to show that The
signs OF a nations death are 10 be found in
America to-day, such as an increase in bust
ness failures, suicide, murder, etc. These
effects he traces to class legislation, land
grants and the different kinds of monopoly.
Credit Mobilier and Jay Gould came in for
a large share of infamv. How to prevent
corners in wealth and protect the "bucl1et
brigade" against oppression we were not told,
for the great capitalists proper are not the
only employers OF labor in this country by
some millions. But the speaker was drip
ping with perspiration, SO he cut his argu-
ment short, and said he would be back De-
fore the end of the canvass and finish up.
Mr.. Harper is Greenbacker, though he said
nothing of his money views. His audience
was one to hatter.
A fuller inquiry into the factory scandal
here reveals the fact that the father of young
Clarke is In nowise responsible, as it was be-

was discharged on the petition of the factory

nivance.

MINNESOTA Crop Pro.peet..

ST. PAUL. June 4.-The weather the last
few days has been warm, with heavy and
fsequent rains. Crop reports from all parts
of the State indicate that 50 far wheat has
not suffered from the rain and Is growing
fairly. gaining strong stand and giving
promise OF an extraordinary yield. The
rains can hardly continue long without IN
favorable effect. In some low-lying spots
few complaints are heard Of too rank a
growth of weeds in the fields. Corn has
taken fresh stand under the influence Of
WARN weather where the rains have not been
too heavy. but there are frequent complaints
OF too much rain. The outlook for corn Is
less favorable than for wheat.

The BENEFITS OF Revaccination.

The London papers have discussed at
much length the results of revaccination as
exhibited in the csse of between 10000 and
IL 900 persons permanently employed in the

the other hand, 1t appears that in the tele-
graph department, where the enforcement of
revaccInatlon was not carried out with the
same completeness, twelve cases occurred in
the same period among a staff averaging
about 1900; eight of these attacks were Of
