Special Correspondence OF the Appeal
LAFAYETTE COUNTY, May 26.-Already
the mutterings OF the political storm about
to burst upon the Second district are heard
in the distance. The new departure of Chal-
mers is giving new life and hope to the
Greenbackers and Republicans. They hail
him as a redeemer, and confidently assert
their strong belief in his success. Both
parties are buckIing on their war harness with
a determined haste that betokens hot work
Both sides concede that the struggle will be
a desperate one, and that hard blows will be
given and received. / have stood in the
ranks of the Democratic party since my boy
hood, and am free to confess that / never be-
fore felt as doubtful Of the final result of an
election as now.
Our county has become much aroused
lately over bill now pending before Congress
to divide the United States Court az Oxford
The county as well as the town understands
what an injury this will be to the interests
Of both, and the people are bitterly opposed
TO the movement. The bill, 1t seems, passed
the Senate before the people took in the
stu alton, but when they did, written appeals
were sent to
COLONEL MANNING TO USE HIS INFLUENCE
TO stop the measure. / have not heard what
action he took, but suppose from the talk
hear. that he answered that he could not or
weuid not oppose the division Great bitter
ness is growing out of this matter, and is
likely TO have its effect upon the congress
sional election should Manning be the NOM
inee. The people feel that their interests
have been unnecessarily sacrificed, and are
proportionally incensed both against
COLONEL LAMAR,
who put the bill through the Senate, and
against Manning, who refuses to fight it in

THE MAMMOTH SPRING,

and il will be found that for twelve miles along
the stream there can be procured nearly 100
horsepower per mile. Allowing twenty
horsepower to run one pair OF boilers, with
necessary lifting machinery, and the water
power above given will run between forty
five and fifty pairs of boilers, four feet in di-
ameter. Putting the lowest estimate for
such sized stones, one Touring mill alone of
such nature can grind a train load of
twenty-eight cars of wheat per day, and the
immense cotton manufactures that could be
built TO utilize this same power your corre-
spOndent will not begin TO determine. This
point from which, and about which, write,
is, or will be, only 120 miles from Memphis,
on the line of the Kansas City, Springfield
and Memphis railroad, which is being
pushed through TO completion. The place
has been entirely unknown, a slight, meager
account OF it having been given in Owens's
superficial survey of the State. Such man
ufacturing point as this can be made, being
near the Bluff City, would be a great adj
vantage. N. A. TURNER.

1t runs, ii seems, in levels. For three
fourths Of 8 mile, sometimes, il will be
placid, and then fall, and so on, at shorter
or longer intervals, forming series of levels
and falls. For the first mile from the spring
there is fall OF about twenty-five feet. Ac-
cording to the estimate given me by Mr.. G..
NJ. Walker, the division engineer along this
special section, the flow from the spring last
September, when at its lowest, was $1,000
cubic feet per minute; but at the present mo-
ment ii has increased to $1,000, which he
considers it TO be the average available flow
throughout the year. 1t il, on sn average,
about 500 feet wide and three feet deep. The
bed OF the stream IL OF rocky foundation,
and dams can be built readily at
any point needed. With forty eight-inch
Victor turbine wheel, which is considered
about the best now made for a fall OF eleven
feet, there Is obtained nearly lis horse
power 10 every $500 cubic inches flow per
minute. Now apply this result of expert

In letter from Charleston, S. c.,
to the Detroit Free Press, published
in our yesterdays issue, the CORE
spOndent reports conversation with
a republican member Of the Michigan
Legislature whom he recently met in
that city. We reproduce a few para
graphs:
Nov. then, what do you think of

with your coats of and can judge them
as they are.
~ tell you, / am ashamed Of my
self, .was his instant reply. when |
think OF how we have lied about them
and their institutions | am ashamed to
look them in the face"
Have you been treated well?'

And they knew you we're from the
North?'
Yes
And that you we're a strong Re
publiean?'
Yes
"'And what DO you think Of the
darky?'
"'D-n him, sir, d-n him. was
his hearty exclamation. we wouldn' {
stand the halffron him that the South
does. He is lazy, shiftless, thievish
and a general nuisance. I've talked
with score Of EN-, and they are as il.
norant as our horses. They vote my
ticket, but they can t tell me why. They
have no reason, no argument, no prin
ciple and so little sense that / wonder
how they get through the week."
Ii more Republicans would initiate
the example Of the gentleman from
Michigan, and see the Southern peo.
pie with their coats Of" there would
be far less misunderstanding and mis-
representation than now, and genuine
national unity far more apparent. But
while, OF course, very many Of the
rank and file visit the South on busi-
ness, We cannot recall the name of a
single prominent Republican leader
who has, during the last twelve or
fifteen years, gone through the South
ern States for the purpose Of obtaining
an intelligent and impartial view Of
the situation. Not one even of the
old Abolitionists, the special friends
OF the negro" has had sufficient curl.
osity to examine on the spot the condi.
ton and prospects Of the emancipated
and enfranchised race. Fred Douglass
In 1880, got as far as North Carolina-
where he wasinvited to attend the State
fair-and he protested himself sur.
prised and delighted with all he saw
and heard; but he did not continue
his journey, and as for Garrison, Phil.
lips, Sumner and the rest, they never
did as much as Douglass. The copse-
quence is just what might have been
expected. The average Republican
opinion Of the South and its people Il

lactuTed BY interested parties to inau.
