Regular Correspondence of the Appeal
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss April 6.-0n Mon
day morning of this week Circuit Court
op, ned in this city, Judge w. s. FeatherstoB
presiding. The attendance was much larger
than usual; throug hout the week the city
has been filed with strangers, and our streets
have presented more than usually snimst-
ed appearance. The judges charge to the
grand jury was able and exhaustive, and at
Iention WAS especially directed to the statutes
relating TO gambling, lotteries, and to those
provisions of the criminal code relating 10
the treatment of convicts by contractors
hiring them from the State. After petty
Jury was impaneled, the court adjourned
until o'clock p. IN, in order TO give the can
didates fer district attorney, who were pres-
eni, Oh ance to announce their candidacy.
District.Attorney FAINT introduced the sew
eral aspirants, with few graceful rem arks
as to the capacity and character of each can
dIdate. Capt. Geo. II. Lester, OF Coffeeville,
came first, and was followed by Capt. c. L.
Bates, of the same place, who was succeeded
by the Hon. Thomas Spight, OF Ripley. As
here Was no issue, each candidate pledging
himself to abide BY the decision of the next
Democratic district convention, the speeches
were therefore brief. Each prom ised, il elected,
TO perform the duties of the Office in a spirit
of judicial fairness, and 10 the best OF his
ability. Capt. FAINT then read card he had
received from the Hon. S. Heard, of Oxford,
announcing himself candidate, and re-
GREETING his inability 10 be present in person.
Il can say of him." said Capt. FAINT, "as
have said of the others, that if elected he
also would make a good district attorney"
LODGED, the convention cannot do i'll, no
matter which of these gentlemen be selecte d,
as ali OF them are men OF ability and high
character who would honor the office 10
which they aspire.
We find upon examining the statistics of
our local postofice that the money order
aud registered letter business is remarkably
large for city the szs OF Holly Springs,

SELMA RAILROAD.
What Maj. ]. ]. Busby Has to Say
About 1.-THE Settlement Agreed
to by the
Certificate H0lders-Werk to be Re.
sumed and the Early Completion OF
the Road Guaranteed.

Maj. J. J. Bushy, vice-president of the
Memphis, Selma and Brunswick railway, was
met by q representative Of the APPEAL yes
terday afternoon, and to few questions pro-
pounded him We learned that efforts are be-
ing made looking &c resumption of work On
tb at road.
"Then you believe the road will soon be
finished, majori"
u dent tnInk it will be long; 1 cannot
say exactly whsp, but We are moving in the
right direction. We cannot do anything yet,
and not urtii wtgo over the road, make an
estimate of the ,actual work done, and fad
out what is due eur contractors. When tn at is
done there will be no trouble in securing
means necessary TO 6nish up the work, after
paying off the. contractors what is due for
all that has been done. / want
TO ssy that the statements published
In the Avalanche Sunday morning in regard
to majority of the certificate holders re-
leciing the proposition TO surrender one half
their certificates for FIRST mortgage bonds
and that a settlement is considered impos-
sible, are false. Ga The contrary every GER
tihcate holder, present in person and by
proxy, agreed to the proposition. / cannot
see where the young mau got his Informs
ton. He came 10 me Saturday and l told
him that l could not give him any iuforma-
ZION that would oe oil any Interest Whatever
TO the public or benefit 10 the road. The
implications against Mr.. Wolfe are also
groundless, especially as to the in.inu stiou
that an effort is being m ade to get Mr.. Wolfe
out of the coscern. Az told you on q pre-
vious occasion, Mr.. Wolffs's Alabama affairs
have no connection with this road. 1t is true
they have caused embarrassment in the 6nsn-
cial status Of the road. | have here letters
from contractors now making PROPOSITIONS
looking to an early resumption of work"
you think the pad reality-not ideal?"
Indeed, do, air."
Maj Busby broke the seal of letter
while he was talking TO Us, the contents of
which were as represented-propositio
from responsible contractors to resume work
on the road. Maj. Bssby closed the con-
versation with an assurance of his belief that
work would be resumed at an early day on a
basis that would insure its completion with
out further hindrance.
