Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-06-07

Two Independent candidates for governor
have already been announced in Texas, one
of whom is a Greenback congressman and
the other lifelong Democrat and Confed-
crate brigadier of distinction. The Demo
cratic majority in that State is 10000, and
can stand an independent movement of con-
siderable force without affecting the general
result.
THE LANE, THE HALT AND THE BLIND.
The Republicans of the House of Repre-
sentatives brought two invalids upon the
floor on Monday to make up their quorum.
Mr.. Mason was brought ont on Il cot and lay
all the afternoon, only rising TO answer 10
his name. Mr.. Russell Errett, who had his
face battered by falling from Herdic coach,
was led to his seat by his friends, as he could
nofsee, from his face being covered by band
ages and his eyesight temporarily gone from
the effects of Inflammation.
THURMAN, CARPENTER AND CoNKLINe.
The absence of Thurman, Carpenter and
Conkling from the Senate OF the United
States was never, says the Philadelphia
Record, so painfully felt as in the action of
that body on Tuesday in the Geneva award
bill. All three of them earnestly and elo-
quenily opposed this measure as an act of
public indecency, and while they were in
the Senate it had an exceedingly small
prospect of passage. As Mr.. Bayard said
in the recent debate, the sReech of. Mr.. Thur
man against this distribution of the Geneva
award was never answered and never could
be answered. The speech of the lamented
Carpenter against the bill was one of the
ablest ever delivered by him in the Senate.
PROSPECTS OF CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS
Speculations about the fall Congressional
elections, so far ss these may be based upon
the votes OF 1880, are made uncertain in
e Il
which have redistricted them. Illinois,
Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Tennessee,
Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin have
been thus MISUNDERSTANDING Northern and
seven Southern States. Arkansas, California,
Georgia, Kansas, North Carolina and Penn
sylvania will elect the members they gain
by the State at large. The Louisiana Legis-
South Carolina 1T is expected that the
districting will be done this fall. In Vir-
ginia it is reported that the governor will
call an extra session to redistrict the State.
In Tennessee the Legislature changed the
districts making the Memphis district more
favorable to the Republicans. In New York
the Legislature refused to redistrict the
State. Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, New
new superintendent.
A FAMILY QUARREL IN PENNSYLVANIA. ~
Within the past few days a statement pur-
porting to be from Mr.. Cooper, of the Re-
publican Central Committee of Pennsylva-
mia, TO the effect that Senator Hawley, Ex-
Senator Blaine, and other prominent persons
would stump that State for the regular Re-
publican ticket, was published in Philadel-
phia paper. Senator Mitchell, of Pennsyl-
wants, being asked about this statement, said,
"In my judgment it is unfounded. This 1
know as to several of the gentlemen men,
toned by Mr.. Cooper From conversations
that / have had with other gentlemen named
by him 1 believe it to be untrue as to them.
l think these gentlemen had better under
stand that this is Republican family diff
Guilty in which they should not seek 10 med
die. If they do it will only strengthen the
independent party, and the battle will open
all along the line in dead earnest. If they
think it is of advantage to the Stslwart oil
garchy in Pensylyania for them to intermed-
die, speaking for myself, and, as 1 understand
it, for the Independents, ] am perfectly
willing they should do SO. This will define
the issue and draw a straight line between
the StaIwarts and the Independents, and
when that IS done the people will take care
Of it."
A GREAT PITY, SURELY.

1t is great pity Speaker Keller could not
be induced to go an Arctic expedition this
summer. He has been endured quite too
long already.
DOWN ON THE DEMAGoGUEs.
Aberdeen lIiss.) Examiner.
If the farmers OF the South are half as
mindful of their own interests as are the
lawyers, the spectators, the merchants ard
all other classes of people, they will frown
down every effort on the part OF ambitious
