As result OF tho cut in prices of the
New York Herald and the Times, the Sun
is hereafter to make its appearance as an
eiGht-pagc paper, at two cents per copy.
The Times, we are also assured, notwith.
standing the lugubrious predictions of
Editor Medill, of Chicago, has doubled on
a circulation OF 5000, and its ADVERTISING
patronage has been largely increased. The
Tribune is said to have also gained hand
sOmely. The threat of the newsdealers to
boycott the reduced papers has as vet,
produced no results. They make, under
the new regime, profit of thrce-fourths of
cent ON the Times, and two-thirds of a
cent on the HTJH. Their largest profits
are on the Trib,We and ,Sm. This feduc-
ton in price of the Herald and Times to the
standard of the llior}d puts the leading
New York dailies on the same foot
ing or basis as those OF London
the Times, Ncrs Telegraph and Standard.
All these are what are called blanket
sheets. The Telegraph was the first to he
published at a penny, or two cents, and its
circulation is few hundred more than
any other paper. 1t and the Standard
print between 245,OO0 and 100000 copies
daily. The Mars prints about $4,000
copies, and the Times about 100000. The
NslcS, Telegraph and Standard sell at pen
ny, and the Times at threepence, or six
cents. All are influential among certain
classes, though the Times Processes to he
what its name implies--a reflex of the
times. 1t usually changes with the party
in power, and endeavors TO assume an at
titude of worship toward the rising sun.

The great race over the course of the
Fleetwood Park yesterday attracted the
largest attendance of people ever seen
at a race in the United States. 1t is esti-
mated that more than 25,OO0 people were
on the ground, and the excitement was
for time intense. Jayeyesee disap-
pointed all the race people and beat st.
Julien easily, carrying off stake of S5OOO
The races at Louisville have not so far
proven whatwas expected and was pre-
dicated on the arrangements made and the
stakes offered. Perhaps next week will
prove more exciting in purses and horses.
This morning we print the entries and
purses for the races over the Memphis
Jockey Club course, from which it will
be seen that President Montgomery
and the other officers and directors mean
to be equal to the splendid reputation es-
tablished by the club. For several weeks
to come "horsc" will be talked every
where, by women as well as men, in the
Exchanges and the street, and pools"
will beat Futures" ten TO one, and find
takers on all sides.

x,u LOUISIANA DISTRICT.
Gen. Leris's Seat In the NeN. congress
to be Contested.

WASHINGTON, September 29.-Certain
electors OF the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict OF Louisiana have united in a peti-
ton against the seating ot Gen. Z. J.
Lewis, who claims to have been elected in
that district to succeed Gen. Heron, de-
ceased, at a special election held under a
writ of the Governor of the State. Coun-
sci for these petitions has called the atten-
ton OF the Deputy First Comptroller of
the Treasury to the fact that Gen. Lewis
is receiving his pay as a member-elect
OF the Forty-eighth Congress when,
as the petitions assert, he is
not entitled to seat in that Congress.
Counsel requests that the Comptroller re-
fuse to pay the salary of a member of
Congress to Gen. Lewis until ordered by
Congress to do SO. He asserts that the
Governor of the State of Louisiana issued
a writ for special election, on a certain
day, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death OF Gen. Heron, but afterward
changed the date, and issued writ for a
special election on another day, at which
time Lewis was declared to have been
elected. Counsel for the petitioners asserts
that the later election was void, the Gov
ernor having exhausted his authority to
call a special election when he issued the
first writ

Success.


Special to the Appeal.
RAYMOND, September 29.--The fusion
ratification meeting held here to-day was
a grand success. Nearly 1000 people as
sembled TO hear the Hon. j. r. Lynch and
DIR. George Bryant, who are acknowledged
as the most Gifted, and practical colored or
ators of the country Capt. ]. r. Yerger,
of Jackson, led off in a spirited address

beautiful and elegant speeches the writer

the result of to-day is regarded as univer-
sally satisfactory to the fusion cause, and
if the majority rolled up does not exceed
2000 everybody is greatly mistaken.

TIE system Of technical education so
long advocated by the APPEAL is being in
dorsed on all hands. At public meeting
held at Nottingham, England, few DAYS
ago, Mr. Samuel Morley made an eloquent
address in favor of technical education
He said that workingmen were wanted
now TO make themselves the masters of
the work they had to do by the means of
intellectual thought and study. Some of
the continental municipalities had made
the most magnificent provision for the
higher education of workingmen. Album
dant facilities were afforded to them for
Perfecting themselves in their particular
handicrafts, and this higher training had
been found to be OF extreme value i'm the
production of high quality of goods. In
the countinghouses and warehouses of
England clerks from abroad were present
ing themselves with qualifications of a
very high kind, the result of training in
schools where the teaching was essentially
commercial. He pressed for the adoption
of facilities OF that kind in England. Sew
ing, cutting and fitting are taught in all
the girls primary schools in France, and
the programme for the higher primaries
includes household industry and some of
the trades particularly adapted to women.

Rose Amber Murder Case

STRATFoRp, CoNy., September 29.-TIic
coroner's jury in the case of the Rose
Amber marder rendered their verdict To-
day, as follows: Eve find that the said
Rose Amber came TO her death by being
choked TO death at the hands of some per-
son or persons unknown to the jury; but
from Wm. Lewis's relations with her in
the past, and from his testimony, and from

A WATER FAMINE
Threatened at Nashville, Caused by the
Breaking Down of the Water
works Engines.

NASHVILLE, September 29.-There is ap-
prehension of a water famine, caused by
the breaking down of the engines at the
waterwOrks. Many portions of the city
are unable to obtain water during the day.
Tonight one engine is running and al
fording a meager supply. The factories had
to shut down, the hotels hauled water, and
other interests are greatly embarrassed.
Had fire occurred with high wind the
city would have been in great danger.
Universal Indignation is expressed at the
inetficiency of the city authorities.

THE APPEAL is handsomely indorsed,
especially Ivy the country press, with
which principle is always rated higher
than expediency. BY reference to the
second page OF this mammoth issue of
the AprEAL it will be seen that a large
majority of the people of the South will
not stultify themselves by confessing that
they are infamous by reason of their par
ticipation rs citizens or soldiers in the
civil war ON the Confederate side, and
that therefore they ought not, twenty
years after that war, to be represented on
the national Democratic ticket. The ST.
lence OF all these years OF patient waiting
must be broken in 1884. if ever. Ii not
then, the people of the country ask,
When? Is principle always to be buried
under eNpcdiency that timid time-servers
m ~ profit 10y the party's self-abasement?
II Southern Democrat is the equal of
Northern one, and if a Southern citizens
vote counts at the national ballot box for
as much as that OF Northern one, why
should not Southern statesman be put
upon the next national Democratic ticket
But this is sentimental politics, say the
supersorviceable and hedgling politicians.
What is sentiment? "a thought" the
dictionaries tell us, resulting from the
exercise of the moral feelings and rational
powers" And what quantities, pray,
should enter into the politics of the coun-
try but the rational and the moral Z?
When these are absent the trimmers
are in the lead, and the real, solid interests
OF the people are held in allowance. The
APPEALS sentiment as TO the representa-
ton Of the South on the national ticket is
indorsed by the country press as every
way and altogether sound. II will break
down and obliterate the sectionalism that
now enables Northern Democrats to DOM
j ate over those OF the South, and will
nationalIze the party in fact as in name.
The Republican party has set us good
example in this regard and we must fol-
low IL il the Democratic party is TO live
and thrive and win. The South ought TO
represented on the Democratic ticket of

Raising Postal Notes.

NOUS method of raising the figures on the
new postal notes has just been brought to
the attention of the Postoffice Department
The fraud consists in punching from a
high figure in note piece of paper the
proper shape and size to fill up the hole
previously punched by the postmaster
through lower figure. The written words
or figures are then removed by acids and
the blank filled in to correspond with the
punched figures. Some notes have
been changed so skillfully that it is diff
cult to detect alterations.
