The Cotton Crop in the Nashville. Dis
trict,

NASHVILLE, August %. The com
prehensive and complete report
through correspondents of the cotton
crop of the Nashville district, includ
ing Middle Tennessee and a portion
of West Tennessee and North Ala
bama, has been received. Seventy
per cent. report crops better than at
the same date last year, twenty>three
per cent. as good, and seven per cent.
worse. Last year the crop of Middle
Tennessee was the poorest for many
years. Reduction of acreage this
year, twelve and half per cent, but
with favorable weather continued the
prospects are fair for large aggregate
yield in the Nashville district.

Save Your Trees.

A writer in an exchange gives the
following recipe for preventing fruit
trees from dying:
"In passing through the country
we notice vast numbers of trees in APP
pie orchards dying by inches, limb by
limb. Five minutes work to the tree
will save them and increase their Wig
or and growth. When you notice the
limbs Of the apple tree dying, take a
brace and bit and bore hole into the
heart of the tree. fill the hole full of
sulphur and cork it up. The tree
will spread with vigorous. luxurant
and rich foliage, and grow with re-
newed life and hear with increased
capacity. This may he done at any
time in the year except sultry hot or
severe cold weather.

An Injunction Restraining the Collec-
ton Of So, 900 Back Taxes.


The Louisville d Nashville aud the
Nashville d Decatur Railroad compa.
nies yesterday applied to Judge Bax,
ter, of the Uni;ed States Circuit Court,
for restrai ing order enjoining the
State Comptroller and his attorneys
from taking any steps toward the col
lection of taxes from said roads. The
orders were granted and served upon
the Comptroller. Motions for injunc-
tious will be argued next Monday
morning.
The l.. q n road was assessed for
taxes from the time of it's sale in 10.
II, IN pursuance of the act Of 1879
with the amendment of 1888. The
State claims that by the sale of1871,
the Louisville u Nashville railroad
forfeited its exemption. In the case
of the Nashville II Decatur railroad
the State denies that any exemption
from taxation is granted under its
charter. The l.. u N. denies that
exemption was forfeited by the sale,
and the Nashville u Decatur claims
that its charter includes exemption
from taxation, with the other rights
and privileges granted by the charter
of the N, g. d st. l.. X. X. Go. The
railroads claim that the Federal
Court has Jurisdiction for the reason
that they are non. residents.

Tho Danvilie Riot.

We this morning furnish to our readers
not only the particulars of the riot which
took place In DanvilIe yesterday, but rs TAR
~ we could learn IT. the feeling OF the
people OF the State IN regard to II. IL Is
deplorable that such an issue should have
been forced upon the white people OF any
town: but IL must be added that the white
men of Danyille seem 10 have forborne the
defence OF their rights until forbearance
had ceased to be virtue. They acted
when compelled to act; not before. No
body can blame them for striking when no
other course was open TO them.
Every white man's blood has boiled
when he read Of the indignities to which
the whites OF Danville had for some time
been subjected by the negroes there These
negroes had evidently como TO regard
themselves as in some sort The rightiul
rulers Of the town. They have been taught
a lesson--a dear lesson, 1t is true; for the
whites did not come out Of the conillc,
without the smell OF fire upon their gar
ments-but nevertheless lesson when
will not be lost upon them, nor upon Their
race elsewhere in Virginia
1t is difficult to restrain the utterance OF
the exasperated feelings which find place
in every true white mans breast when
writing OF such a conflict between whites
and blacks as that which took place yester-
dly at panville. The temptation to make
infammatory appeals is great. Neverthe-
less. We let the facts speak for them
selves for the present. 1t is best to err
IL at all upon the side of forbearance.
Perhaps the riot at Danyille may
prevent riots at other places. Perhaps
the troubles of yesterday may staye of
troubles on the day after tomorrow.
Perhaps the blood shed there may save
much greater flow Of IT elsewhere. 1t de-
ponds upon the negroes themselves. One
thing is certain, and they may as well I'M
derstand it now aS later. and that is. that
the white people of Virginia do not intend
to hold their rights at the will of the ne
groes.

Take Sides Now.

The negroes held another civil-rights
meeting in Washington city on Friday
night-no, the notorious Bob IHGERsOLL
delivered q lecture on that subject at q cost
Of fifty cents head to his hearers. Per-
haps INGERsOM is going on a lecturing
tour through the southern States. At any
rate, the people of Virginia ought to be
warned in time and to warn them of what
is coming in the shape OF agitation for
either state or Federal laws opening
churches, theatres, schools, and all other
public places to negroes, we copy para
graph or two Of INGERsOLL's negro speech.
He said:
"The speaker was glad that Mr.. Douglass
Inegrol had referred to the question OF So
clal equality. 1t reminded him OF old
times when in the Democratic professions
there used TO be q wagon with about twcn-
tv ancient maidens therein, bearing BAN

over the inferior race. Were the men
VINO make so much fuss about social
equality willing TO have their liber-
ties gagged by the measure OF their intelli-
gence? Oh, what.a state OF involuntary
servitude' they would he in There is
no equality in the world; no two things

idiots on this subject. The Federal pris-
oners escaping during the war had no
scrupies about eating with the negroes.
A man fleeing for his life does not feel the
same as he does sitting up in the Capitol
with q robe on. Even the Confederate
soldier was not afraid TO leave his wife and
children TO the protection OF the men
whose liberty he was fighting to take
away. The man who hates the black man
because he is black is the embodiment
of the spirit of caste. At the ballot-boX
the black man is the equal Of judges, and
he should vote for no man who does not
believe in equal rights for all. He should
vote for men who believe in equal rights
for Judges who believe in human liberty,
and for Presidents who will maintain
them. The best white men are on the side
OF the cOlored men. The nobleSt living
are their friends. The noblest dead are
their friends. The sympathies OF the
grandest living ones are with them. This
decision of the Supreme Court was the re.
suit of patering to policy.
"The old issue is again upon us" he
said in conclusion. I" Is this 4 nation !:
Have all citizens equal rights? Is it the
duty of the General Government to pro-
tect its citizens? 1t is the duty OF every
one to take sides. He had taken his side"
What says Governor CAMERON Is it
his duty TO take sides now, as INGERSOLL
suggests 4? Ii so, which side is he on?
We especially invite Mr.. HUDNALL to
stake sides" now. The people of Rich
mond would like TO know whether he
stands with Bob INGERSoLL or on the
Lynchburg platform,
