RIPLEY, TENN.
The suit OF n. b. Hall and Others
Against the Chesapeake, Ohio md
Southwestern Railroad.

Occasional Correspondence of the Appeal
RIPLEY, June 14-The case Of 81. r. Hall
and others against the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad creates considerable comment. 1t
is peculiar case, and it is said but one SINH
lar one has come before the courts of the
State. H. r. Hall and others, of this county,
want the Hon. II. J. Livingston, the Chan
cellor, to grant an Injunction forcing the
Chesapeake and OHIO railroad to stop its
trains at Halls Station. Suit has been in
stituted and the case will be argued before
Judge Livingston, on June 26th. The
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad was finished
through Lauderdale county last July, and it
was nnderitood by Mr.. Hall that should he
give the road the right of way through his
farm station should be located on il. It
was the general impression that a depot
would be located at Hali'F. Several store
houses were built there, and resi- iences also,
and it was the intention TO make Hall's a
lively station. The road came through, but
the irsinmen were ordered not TO stop any
trains at Hal's. Here the people of the
station were, with storehouses built and no
trains stopping. 1t seems the town OF Gates,
situated three miles toward Memphis from
Hal's, made flank movement and succeed
ed 10 getting q contract made with the rail-
road that no station should be allowed at
sny place between Gates and Forked
Deer river. HalPs lies between that stream
and Gates. A general rivalry was struck
up, and Gates has been holding the fort and
building up. The people of HalPs having
waited nearly year, and seeing that Mr.
Huntington will not stop the iron-horse al
the town, they pray Judge Livingston to
grant a mandatory Injunction forcing the
road to stop its trains at Halls. The result
of the case is looked forward to with good
de al of interest owin,r to its rovel features,

The verdict in the Star-route cases yester.'
day, though predicted by many as the only
result possible in SO corrupt place as Wash
ington, is nevertheless a surprise, and will
everywhere, as it is in Memphis, be regarded
as the crowning disgrace of all that has been
brought upon the country BY the Republican
party. The evidence of the guilt OF the
parties arraigned was so plain that nothing
but turpitude or quibble could save them
from the penitentiary. Indeed, before they
were indicted the proofs of their guilt as
published in the leading newspapers of the
country were go palpable that the accused
were condemned by an unerriDg public opin-
ion, and everywhere were spoken and writ
ten Of as "Star-route thieves" Rserdell,
one Of their number, confirmed this decision
He confessed his guilt, and swore that all
who were on trial were guilty as charged.
Yet the verdic. of the jury will clesr him,
too, go that in spite of his own evidence to
the contrary he will be declared innocent.
Such is law and justice at the capital of the
republic.

THE HEATHEN CHlNEE
THE CAUSE OF MUCH TROUBLE AT THE TREAS
uRY DEPARTMENT.


WAsH1NeroN, June A. The heather
Chinee ia causing lots of trouble at the Treas
ury Department, and a letter il about to be
sent to the President by Secretary Folger
with reference TO the matter. 1t seems that
a party OF ten Celestials recently landed at
New York with the declared intention of
simply passing through on their way to Chi
na. The Collector at San Francisco, how.
ever, has watched in vain for the arrival Of
five of them at his port, and fnllly has
aFked the Secretary what TO do about it. The
law provides that ID case Chinaman lands
here and does not move on he shall be sent
back by the President at the expense OF this
government Nothing is said about where
they are TO be sent. The question sgita,iog
The Department is whether TO advise the
President TO send these tardy Chinese to Chi
ma, or TO Cuba, or some other part Of the
globe. There is another problem which does
not seem to have been suggested to the Treas
ury officials, and that is 10 catch the Tartars,
whose whereabouts are at present unknown.
The President will be graVely advised that
five Chinamen landed at certain date in
New York City and evidently they intend to
deceive the authorities about heir movements
and have not gone on. Under the law he is
expected 10 direct what shall be done with
them. 1t is suspected that they are har-
bored by their countrymen 10 New York or
Chicago, and mean to violate the letter and
spirit of the anti Chinese immigration bill.

THERE issomething in the business attitude
just now that appears to puzzle the most ex
perienced. The foundations of trade appear
10 be sound. There is no recklessness 10
speculation, no untbinking extension Of
credit, no wild running alter schemes and
delusions. Our people are cool, thoughtful
and prudent. Yet there is failing conf
dence; suspiciousne's that something ia
wrong somewhere" There is no enemy in
sight; no known impending danger. Yel
there is sense Of danger in the air. Peo
pie do not buy full stocks, but purchase only
'from hand to mouth" Csuiion is in every
mind, yet prices are not inf ,ted, but on the
contrary they are low. Yet low ss lhey are
they are dropping. Profits Se small, snd in
some lines of business a voice Of distress
complains that not an atom of profit il
gained. Bankruptcies are more frequent
than Is pleasant, yet money is abundant and
can be had at low rates. Our relations with
other countries are peaceful, and we nave
tranquility among ourselves from Alaska to
Maine. Why, then, is there disq uiet and
apprehension and dull trade?
