INDIA COTTON.

We were told a few weeks ago by
one of the Louisiana cotton planters
employed some years ago ny the
British Government to push that IN
dustry in India, that he carried out
the best of tools and implements for
making and saving the staple, and
that while he had no difficulty In
getting good stands and good crops
he could not succeed in making an
article that would at all compare
with the meanest samples he ever saw
of the American product.
India he says can make as gooc
wheat as any country in the world but
she cannot produce an article OF cot
ton that any manufacturer cares te
handle.

WHEN Judge Gresham entered
upon duty as Postmaster General, last
week, the private Secretary Of the
late incumbent, as matter Of course,
handed in his resignation, and as a
matter of course expected to be ac-
cepted with the usual courtesy of an
invitation to remain on duty until the
end of the month. To his surprise,
however, Judge Gresham asked him
if he was tired of the position and
anxious to give it up? The reply was
in the negative accompanied by the
remark that the position of private
secretary was confidential one, and
that it was natural to suppose that
the Postmaster General would desire
to fill it by the appointment of some
person with whom he was upon inti-
mate relations. "Well," said the
Judge, 81 take it for granted that you
are thoroughly competent and relia-
BILE or l would not find you here, and
as you are familiar with the duties of
the Office and the routine of business,
l think you had better tear up that
resignation and continue on duty"
If this little incident is character
istic of the man, the service will prof
it greatly by this appointment to the
Cabinet.

THE Southern Baptist Association,
embracing, we believe, all the Gulf
States, will convene in Annual Ses-
sion, at Waco, Texas, on Wednesday,
the 9th of May. Round trip tickets,
good until the 3lst, will be sold by
the Memphis & Charleston Railroad
from Corinth, at $32.4O. This is an
excellent opportunity for those who
happen to be delegates, and every
church of that denomination should
be represented. The regular fare
from Corinth and return is $o2.9U,

The wheat Outlook.

The Chamber of Commerce of Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, has collected
reports from fifteen of the chief grain
States in reference to the
condition of the growing crops of
winter wheat, from which it estimates
the damage at full twenty per cent?
or a shortage of one hundred millions
of bushels as compared with last year.
The spring wheat area embraces
Oregon, Dakota, Iowa, and parts OF
Minnesota, Michigan and other States
In this region the season thus far has
been exceedingly unfavorable for
seeding, but it is too early to make
estimates as to the probable yield.

CHALMERS vs.. MYERS.


Special TO Memphis Appeal
Jackson, April 16 In the case of
Myers, secretary of state, u.s. j. II. Chal,
mers, the Supreme Court to. day re
versed the Judgment of the Criminal
Court, dismissing Chalmers petition for
a mandamus at hs cost. The court held:
That mnndamus is the appropriate
means to compel au officer charged with
the duty TO declare the result of an rloc
ton as beyond dispute. The secretary
of state MS to this duty is merely min
lSterinl officer and amcnable to the courts
as such, and may be proceeded against
ny mandamus. 1t is Il fundamental
principle never to grant the wril of
mnndamus where If issuGd it would prove
unnvailiug. The secretary Of state having
declared Manning elected, mud the GOV.
ernor having commissioned him, we
adopt the language of tho Supreme
Count of Missouri, IN the case of Bland
Us. Rodman: "The cnse has pnssei he
yOnd any control of this court, and the

China's PaternaI Government.

One person out of every three
upon this planet, is a Chinaman, and
it is fortunate for the rest of the
world that this curious people are so
ultra conservative in their habits and
customs that they reject the Euro
pean and American theories of civili>
zation. This may change some day
in this era of mutation, and "John"
in his land of flowers may conclude
to adopt the loom; the spindle; the
steam engine; the blast furnance,
and all of the other Western plans
and methods, and if this comes to
pass he will undersell every race in
every market of the world, in every
article and fabric that contributes to
mans necessities or panders to luxury.
Whatever his hand finds to do, be
does well and expeditiously, and his
marvellous ingenuity gives him con.
troll of any art or trade he under
takes. The government of China
displays admirable policy instead of
stupidity in resisting the encroach
ments of Western civilization, for it
is only by determined adherance to
the plan of doing all work by hand
that she secures employment and
subsistence to a population so dense
as to be incapable of existence under
any other method. The constant
study of the ministers is to find en-
ployment for the masses, hence any
plan that proposes to lessen the de-
mand for labor is looked upon with
disfavor. A few years ago the Amer
ian Minister suggested to leading
Mandarin that boats could be pu
upon the Chinese rivers in which
one man could accomplish moro in
the way of transportation than a
hundred native boatmen did now
The Mandarin replied that such plans
and models had been submitted to
the ministry two thousand years ago,
and rejected, ''but," said he, "if you
can suggest plan by means of which
1 can consistently employ hundred
men to do the work that now de
mands one, 1 will adopt it, and your
name will be honered in China ms
that of q benefactor.'
The railroad is discouraged by
China because it would destroy the
occupation of thousands of porters
and chair bearers the telegraph she
rejects because il would disband the
legiors of couriers, messengers and
signal men. The world will rue the
day when China abandons this pa
ternal system, and adopts the West
ern theory of civilization,

The stoppage of the Chicago roll
ing mills threw four thousand men
out of employment. The President
of the Company says that the outlook
for resumption is very gloomy,as more
than one third of the rails needed for
this year are already on the market.
The mills will not be started again
while the present prices for rails and
labor continue.

EX-SENATOR Wallace, Of Pennsyl-
vania, has no doubt but that the Dem
ocratic party will elect whoever it
puts in nomination for the Presidency
in 1884, and therefore thinks the par
ty should be very cautious and wise
in making its selection. We agree
with him thoroughly, and if the con-
vention should single out Mr.. Wal
lace himself we would support him
with the consciousness that we were
fighting under the leadership of one
of the grandest and purest men III
the Republic.

The AlnllOuse Infianies.

The Investigations recectly made
in connection with the aims house
in Boston, Chicago and other great
cities, show that the unfortunates are
even denied the post mortem luxury
OF sepulchre. That after "life's ftful
fever" comes for them the dissecting
table, and that to die pauper is to
be transposed from an object of pub
lie charity to piece of CHASTITY mer-
chandise, to be hawked from door to
door until every student is supplied.
Worse than that, it was in evidence
before court of inquiry a few days
ago that the poor creatures, the litt1e
pauper babies-nobody's children
were actually skinned, and the skins
tanned and sold for purposes of manu-
facture. We have published num-
Der of these reports and will publish
more of them, that our people may
see something of the true inwardness
of social systems that have dared
through all the weary and agonizing
years since the war, to hold up our
Southern civilization to the scoH and
detestation of a world that only knew
us as painted by our slanderers and
defamers.
These infamies that are coming to
light doubtless thrill with horror the
breasts of a vast majority of the peo-
pie among whom they were enacted,
but those self-sanctifying people have
always cruelty judged our whole
population by the misdeeds of the
few, and have never evinced the
slightest willingness to bestow that
charity of thought and speech that
the South now so willingly accords
to her defamers in their hour of hui
initiation.

EDITORIAL MATTER,
From Tri-Weekly issues of Friday & Monday
The Manning-Chalm ers Case.

The Supreme Court of the State,
in the decision of the case of Chal-
mers VS.. Myers, on appeal from the
decision of Judge Wharton, vindicat-
es the opinion repeatedly expressed
by the EXAMINER, that the Secretary
of State having declared Manning
elected on the face of the returns,
and the Governor having issued a
certificate in consonance with that
declaration, their power in the prem
isses is exhausted, and the parties
must seek their remedy in the tribu-
nal to which the constitution assigned
such adjudications, when it gave to
the Houses of Congress the right to
decide in all matters at issue involv-
ing the elections and qualifications
of their respective members.
The certificate having been given
to Manning, the Court decides that it
is beyond its jurisdiction; the certif-
cate having been rejected by Man
ming, it ''hangs in mid air" and it is
for the House of Representatives to
say who is entitled to the seat or
whether such an election has been
held in the Second District of Missis-
sippi as will entitle either Manning
Or Chalmers to legislate in the 4Sth
Congress for the whole people, as a
"Representative in the Congress OF
the United States" 1t is not a ques-
ton involving the interests of single
District or State, but Of all the people
of all the States.
