The Railroad Bill.

The very moderate character o.
the measure proposed, the couser
vative spirit in which the subject
has been treated, the sollcitude
shown to avoid any injurious re,
striction upon railroad manage.
ment and to do nothing that should
deter capital from Investment in
railroad enterprises in our State, as
evinced by the action OF the kali,
road Committee and shown by the
bill they reported with judicious
and carefully devided provisions,
induced us to hope that it would
encounter no opposition whatever
from any quarter. In the last can
vass, both parties committed them
selves to the policy embodied In
the bill. 1t was part Of the plat
form Of the Democracy on which
their standard. bearer stood and
which he ~championed with ability,
and it was declared to be the poll
cy of the Opposition of which Col.
King was the accredited represen-
tatiye. While we are disappointed
that a measure SO just and so clear.
Iy demanded by public sentiment,
has not been taken up and. passed
by a unanimous voice, we are new
ertheless gratiied that il appears
to receive the support of a very
majority ofthe Legislature.

The Memphis Appeal for 1882.

In issuing its prospectus for 1882,
the APPEAL has but II promise to

maintain its character and rank in the
forefront Of American newspapers
The Appeal is now regarded as one Of
the institutions of the South. Its his
tory for the past forty-one years is the
history Of the development Of South
ern thought, Southern politics, South
ern industry and Southern literature,
and its sympathies and aims will be
the same in the future. The paper will
continue to be the constant reflex of
the most reliable intelligence obtaina-
BILE from all parts Of the world. 1t will
remain inlexibly Democratic, but its
space will be mainly devoted to news,
the interest Of agriculture, trade, com
merce, manufactures, internal improve
ments, the development of Southern
resources and all branches Of industry.
While always on the alert for the latest
intelligence, it will avoid the sensation
al, and will never pander to vitiated
tastes. The APPEAL is specially de-
voted to the interests of Tennessee and
Memphis, its great commercial empo-
rum, and will use its best abilities to
promote both. 1t realizes that the flu
tupe empire Of this country lies in the

es with profit. Sat 'em again"
Referring TO changes in our laws,
| have for years past entertained
views, (some of which have crept in
to newspapers too) touching laws
that it is believed would be bens-
fetal, not only to the Democratic.
Conservative party as such, but al
so to the people a: large.
To my mind there is no necessity
upon the "top.slde" of Gods '.grsen
earth" (could not pretend to say
what may be in demand on the
"bottom.side") for such FREQUENT
elections and sessions of the Legis-
l~ature, as our laws provide for.
This being a constitutional ques-
ton, therefore | am for a change in
the "very substratum." And while
the Constitution is being amended,
l would hitch on several things,
to,wit: LIST. Provide for an election
every four years for all officers, ex-
cept Congressman. I'd. One regu-
lar session of the Legislature, i'm
mediately following the ~quadren,
NAL elections. 3rd. Make Supreme
and Circuit Court Judges elective.
4th. Abolish distinctive Chancery
Courts and require Circuit Judges
to keep Chancery dockets also, as
IN "ante- bellum days"
Then l would amend the "wager
or gaming law" so as to make it as
grave an oiTense to bet or wager"
on horse racing and on shooting as
for betting on elections or upon
anythingselse.
Also amend the law requiring
the observance of the Sabbath day,
so as to havei its provisions and pen
alties imposed upon all classes
alike. If the farmer is prohibited
from blowing and from gathering
hay on Sunday, SO also should rail
road men and all other classes be
prohibited from plying their daily
avocations on the Lords day--ths
day set apart for rest to all people.
And last, but hardly least, l
would pray for the speedy repeal
OF the present mlschleyous and
cruel "Pint Law"
The changes suggested are sin.
cerely believed to be in the inter.
est Of economy, fair play and good
morals.
Wishing everybody connected
with the Claron--the pride of the
people of Mississippi--much happi-
ness and prosperity the new year

INSTRUMENTATION

On the 18th inst, Judge Por-
ter, counsel for the prosecution,
closed his argument, when at 3.15
in the eveing, Judge Cox pro-
ceeded to deliver his charge to the
jury. DurlngAthe delivery Of the
charge, which was completed at
10 o'clock, there was a perfect
stiffness in the crowded court room,
and even the prisoner kept abso-
lutely quiet, with the exception Of
one or two feeble utterances. The
jury immediately retired, and many
of the spectators left the ROOM
After the jury had been out about
twenty minutes a recess was taken
until $50 O'Clock. Within ten min
utes after recess had been taken
the jury called to the Bailiff in
waiting that they were ready with
their verdict. They were informed
that a recess had"beeE taken and
hat Judge Cox had left the court
room, so they remained in their
room until the court re-assembled.
Judge Cox oonRaftOrward took his
seat, the crier called "order," and
the jury at 5.35 o'clock fled slowly
into their seats. Every sound was
hushed save the voice of the clerk
as he propounded to the foreman
the usual inquiry. Clear and dis
tinct came the reply; "We have"
"What is your verdict, guilty or not
guilty9" With equal distinctness
came the reply, "GUILTY Az
INDICTED" -
The pent-up feelings ofthe crowd
found expression in uproarous
demonstrations Of applause and ap.
prevail.
"Order," shouted the bailiffs.
Scoville and counsel for the prose-
cution were simultaneously upon
their feet. Scoville attempted to
address the court, but the district
attorney shouted: swat till we
have the verdict complete and in
due form Of law" Order was at
length restored, and the clerk,
again addressing the jury, said:
"Your foreman says Guilty as in
dicted.' So say all Of you9" eve
do" all responded. Another dem
onstratiOn OF approval followed this
announcement, but not so pro-
longed as the first. Scoville, still
upon his feet demanded a poll of
the jury, which was granted, and
each Juror waa called by name, and
each in a firm voice promptly re-
spondsd, "Guilty." AS the last
name was called the prisoner
.shrieked: my blood will be upon
the heads of that jury; don't you
Jorge: i'll"
Scoville again addressed the
court, saying: "Your Honor, / do
not desire to forfeit any right l
may have under the law and prac-
tice in this district. If there is any
thing that ought to do now to save
those rights | would be indebted
TO your Honor to indicate it to me-"
J Judge Cox, in reply, assured him
he should have every opportunity;
that the charge would be furnished
him in print tomorrow, and he
be accorded all the time al
by law within which to file
his exceptions, and that he would
also be entitled to four days within
to move an arrest of Judg-
nent.
Guiteau, who from the moment
Judge Cox began the delivery of
his charge. had dropped completely
lis air of insolent arrogance, and
at with rigid features and com
PRESSED lips, called ont in tones of
desperation; @God will ayenge this
