OCTOBER RETURNS OF THE DEPARTMENT Oh
AGRICULTURE.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-The cotton re.
turns Of the Department of Agriculture for
October indicate unusual size and visor oil
plant, and capacity for a large production
The late development of the fruitage, and the
reported indications of a small top crop
limit the otherwise extraordinary prospect
The coincidence appears of the same general
average OF condition as in 1881 and 1882 for
June, July aud August, 80, go and "a, re-
spectively. During August and September
in 1881 the condition fell from "a 10 Sc, bat
10 the same period this season 10 88 only.
This is higher than in any October for ten
years, with two exceptions, 1875 and 1873.
Compared with the August returns there is q
loss of Point in Florida ard Texas, 2 in
Alabama, 8 in Virginia, North Carolina and
Georgia, 4 in Mississippi and Arkansas, 5 in
Tennessee and in South Carolina. The
figures for Virginia are Sc, North Carolina

October returns of the yield OF wheat, as
estimated from the results OF the threshing,
foreshadows a product slightly exceeding
100000, 900 bushels, and possibly reaching
525,000,000. Tke average yield per acre
appears 10 be nearly fourteen bushels, on an
acreage slightly lefs than 100000 acres.
There is reduction of the area in the spring
wheat region and large yield in the great
winter wheat-growing belt of the West.
Taking the highest figure indicated by these
returns of the yield, distribution production,
gives 248, 100000 bushels, or nearly hall the
crop Of the United States to the six principal
winter wheat States-Ohio, Michigan, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. The
spring wheat of the Northwest may make
1l3,000000 bushels. The Pacific coast crop,
which has been persistently exaggerated in
commercial estimates, cannot much exceed

A1TORNEY.GENERAL BREWSTER


PHILADELPHIA, October 14-The attor.
Dey-general was asked to-day what had been
done in the Star-route bribery cases and
what was being done, and answered very
promptly that much had been done in prob
ing the matter to the bottom. A great deal oil
testimony had been taken, and much more YET
had TO be taken; that il would be impolitic
now and irregular to disclose any OF this
evidence, as it would put some of those ac-
cused and guilty men on their guard; but
this much be would say, that within a few
days one or more Of those persons in the De-
partment of Justice who had been used as
spies by the defendants, and who ap-
pear to be deeply implicated in the
attempt TO corrupt the jurors on behalf of
the defendants, would be arrested; that be
had ordered this upon the evidence now be-
fore them. The defendants somehow or
other having obtained knowledge of the at
torney-generaPs intention, and knowing also
that be had possession of undisputabIs proof
of the guilt of these Instruments OF theirs,
would within day or 20 absn-
don those men and furnish a sensational
article disclosing facts that were all along
within their knowledge, taking credit as
public informers, because they fear that If
the story is not told BY them the sudden ar
rest of their instruments would be fatal
blow. To avoid this effect it is believed the
publication is 10 be made.

HOUSE ON THE DEBT.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Bulletin interviewed the Hon
John F. House, of this State, in that city, o
few days ago, and got for his paper what the
editor regards clear exposition of the
present status OF the Tennessee State debt in
its relation TO the railroad corporations,
the bondholders and the several political
factions that at the approaching elec-
ton are about 10 try the issue as
between partial reputation and the main
tenance of public faith. The Bulletin
regards the authority upon which these
statements rest such as entitle them to con-
sideration and says: Through all the intri-
cacies of the controversy, one thing seems to
be tolerably transparent, and that is, that
outside of the party which has a command
ing influence in the State, the action of the
Legislature will prove abortive and lead to
no permanent settlement. The gentlemen
who make up the so-called low-tax move
ment would seem to be men of
ability and character, but with lit
tie following from the people, and
we are told that there is little proba-
bility that their gubernatorial candidate, Mr.
RUSSELL, will carry single county in the
State. On the other hand, the success of Mr..
Bate, on anything like full vote, would
seem 10 be reasonably assured; and that
means (il the bondholders assent) the pay
ment OF fifty cents on the dollar, including
three per cent. interest on the railroad debt
of the State, and dollar for dollar on the
State obligations proper, without scaling or
abatement" This from the foremost 6Ran-
cial paper of New York, indicates very
plaiHly that moneyed men are beginning at
least to think on our financial condition, and
will "look before they leap"

Vail out sad Autumn winds your moanl
Sound it howe'er so long and sad
Ger hill and hollow, glen and glade.
fe cannot drown mothers groan.
We hear a requiem in your signs
They are the notes of Natu els grief,
When falls her every leaf
When all her floral beauty dies.
But It's not death for which you moan
It's but the gloom of Natures night;
For Spring snail bloom again more bright,
Her beauty shall again return.
But when our loved ones pass away
No spring glide gives them back their breath
And when their eyes are closed in death
Unto this night succeeds no day.!
Oh Naturei where can dwell thy soul,
That thou thy beauteous forms divine
Can thus to moldering dust consign,
And onward all-impassiye roll
Among the crowded ranks Of men
Thousands of wretched, cid and maimed,
Death might indeed have justly claimed
There would have been no murmuring then.
But oh, thou fell destroyer. see
The reckless ruin thou hast wrought;
Thou hast fairer victim sought
A life from every sorrow free.
To her, through her. life was Joy,
No cloud obscured her summer sky,
And hope flashed brightly in her eye
How could'st thou such life destroy
'Twere vain to tell us heaven had need
Other, who here our joy and pride,
In all the strength of beauty died,
And left our wounded hearts to bleed.
The trust that on some far off shore,
The eternal SOULS eternal FORM
Once more shall by its presence charm,
And hearts be broken never more,
Gives us but poor comfort here;
The heart can find no rest in doubt;
When what we love hath faded out
Such trust can wipe away no tear.
What then is left? We can but mourn.
And here in sad submission wait
Our call from unrelenting Fate,
To Deaths all-undiscovered bourne.
So much of grief in life we see.
So little of its comfort feel,
That DER our hearts the thought tpiu steal
Tis something better not TO beP' TO. s.

The Eighth District of Alabama
Special Correspondence of toe Appeal
ATHENS, ALA, October 13.-The grand
rally of the Democracy in the Eighth Con-
gressionsl District was held here yesterday
and was a grand success. Speeches we're
made by the Hon. james L. Pugh and the
Hon. John T. Morgan. The large number
OF people present were most handsomely
entert aimed. The meats served to the people
we're appetizingly barbecued At first, owing
to the rain that fell, it looked as if the
speaking would be perm nently interrupted,
but shortly after 10 o'clock it stopped. About
1000 people we're in attendance. The speak
ing began about IL o'clock in the eourtys ard,
where q stand had been erected for the speak
ers and the prominent people present. A good
brass band discouTsed music for the crowd.
A great many ladies were present. Col. Luke
Pryor introduced Senator james L. Pugh.
The speech OF the senator was a most elo-
queDt one. He gave a lucid discussion of
the tariff, and gave numerous reasons for
Democratic success. The senator's speech
was pronounced by those who heard it to
be the finest ever heard in Limestone county.
When he had concluded the audience retired
for dinner. Tables had been spread in another
portion of the courthouse yard. The crowd
filed in like a well-disciplined army and
carried breastwork after bresstwork before
them, showing a fine appreciation of the
good things prepared for them. After din
ner speaking was resumed. The Hon. John
I. Morgan was the next speaker. He made
a telling contrast of the Republican and
Democratic parties, showing how one had
Systematically oppressed the people and the
other no less systematically had raised its
voice in their behalf. Col Inke Pryor. the
Democratic nominee for Congress from this
district was called upon for 5 speech. Hav-
ing suffered considerably from the long can
yass, he did not make a long speech. He
promised to carry the Democratic banner TO
victory

THE SHELBY COUNTY DEmoCKArs

Hhouid make II special duty to hear their
candidates and the speakers appointed TO
address them by the State aud County DEM
ocratic Committees. 1t is time to rekindle
the ardor and enthusiasm of the first days OF
the canvass. Election day is only three
weeks away, and much OF arduous work
has to be performed ia which the
voters of The party as we'll as it's
Candidates and its selected spokesmen
should help. If in no other way they can
give the banner-besrers cheerful and hearty
welcome, and encourage them on their way
by solid array and the strength Of their
numbers. All the meetings in the comfy
should. be as large as the voting power
of the precincts where they are held.
Tomorrow the candidates speak at White
Station at 1 o'clock pm, and at
Germantown at s pm. On Tuesday
they speak at Baskerville at l O'Clock
pm. and at CollIerviIIe at pm. The
leading Democrats at these places should
have all necessary arrangements made for
their reception, and secure the attendance of
the voters of both colors and both parties.
This is all important. The enemy ia active;
he hiss assumed many shapes, and is using
many specious and seemingly weighty
arguments. He is not altogether scru-
pulous as to the means to his end.
To counteract the influences of his
adroitness of speech and management
the Democratic speakers must be unceasipg
ia their labors until the day of election, and
the people must meet them and cheer them
on, give them couHtenance and uphold
their hands. There is much at stake. The
settlement of the State debt and the city
debt means great deal to. the people, not
only OF Memphis but OF the rest of Shelby
county, which must be affected by whatever
touches the interests of their fellow citizens
of the city. solid vote of the party is
essential to satisfactory settlements, and to get
that will necessitate an amount OF everyday
speech making that none can appreciate so
we'll az those who are engaged in it. They
Assd the encouragement and stimulus of the |
presence and approval u tie r>nple. and |
thsy ought to have it. Apathy and indif- |
ference are more fatal than opposition, and |
the people, 10 avoid both, must rouse them
themselves TO an interest in the canvass that
will be fitting response to the lsbors of the
Democratic candidates.

Special to the Appeal
CoLIlERvILLE, October 14.-As advertised,
Gov. Hawkins, Capt. Beasley and Lieut..
Fs.selI, spoke at this place Thursday, the
18th, TO about 100 persons, composed equally
of whites and blacks. The speeches were
simply arepetition of those delivered at the
GTeenlaw Operahouse, in your city, and as
published in the APPEAL. The governor
delivered his speech in the regular old
fashioned camp-meeiiDg style, and could not
resist the temptation to hoist The bloody
shirt occasionally, just 10 remind his col
ored hearers that they were once slaves, and
that the Republican party gave them their
liberty. His speech ELECTED very little ap-
plause from the negroes until the old man
opened up his budget OF chronic jokes; this
always strikes happy vein in Sambo.
The people are fact becoming convinced
that RUSSELL is making the canvass in the
interest of railroad rings and the Republican
party. Beasley is not known in the race.
The candidates for congressional houors
spoke TO our people on the 18th instant. 1t is
apparent that Judge Smith is no match for
