Sanborn's Reception Speech.

The Pioneer Press gives a long and
interesting interview with DIR. Won
Hoist, the eminent jurist and author,
who was Willard guest, regarding in
cidents Of the great excursion. In re-
ply to a question as to Mr.. Willard g
qualification at the trip, the doctor re-
piled:
eyes; he was very much pleased. His
speeches struck me as being models of
good taste, and he was always ready for
any occasion that presented itself. At
one ambitious town he was welcomed
by very pronounced spread eagle speech
in which the orator brought in al the
adjectives known to the English. Ian
guage. When he had concluded, Mr..
Willard asked HIM his name and occupa-
ton. He gave it, and said he was a law
yer. 'Exactly!' said Willard; Just what
/ thought and the crowd r0ared."
This must be the joke Willard got off
on Mr.. VanWormer, along with his eul-
ogy Of Vans speech.

Settlers Rights.
In answer to a correspondent in regard

In answer to a correspondent in regard
to the matter the Fargo Argus says:
1t is well settled that no squatter, en-
try mar or scripper. can get title to any
Of the odd sections within the grant Of
the Northern Pacific railroad except
through the company. The sixth sec
ton Of the charter of the Northern Pa
clfic Railroad company is in the follow
ing words:
"And be it further enacted, that the
president Of the United States shall
cause the lands to be surveyed for forty
miles in width on both sides OF the en-
tire line of said road after the general
route shall be fixed and as fast as may
be required by the construction Of said
railroad; and the odd numbered sections
Of land hereby granted shall not be liable
to sale OF entry or pre-emptiOn before or
after they are surveyed except by said
company, as provided in this act; but
the provisions of the act Of September.
1861 granting pre-emption rights, and

The company filed in the United States
land office at Fargo, March 10, 1883, its
selection Of indemnity lands under the
instructions of the honorable secretary
Of the interior, which selection included
all the odd sections in this land district
IN the indemnity limits, OH both sides OF
the road; and it is now Offering these

j: NJ. Burrell picked up the great bi-
cycle act as naturally as ii he had been
born with one in his possession. for the
ease with which he drives the bowelless
horse is astonishing. There will be a
large importation OF these two-Wlleeled
wonders next spring.
Up to date the Lehman f. s. L. Co.
have shipped ninety cars of wheat, rep
resenting $1,000 bushels, to Duluth,
from the various points at which they
have elevators established. Most of this
large quantity passed through this ele-
vator here before final shipment. Con-
sidering that threshing has been in oper-
alton only few days and the low price
of wheat, the figures are enormous, and
it begins to look as though the predic-
ton that this company alone would han
die 1000 bushels this season was ratll-
er moderate. The N. r. elevator has
also made large shipments, but we have
not learned the amount.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1883-05-18

The idea that the best place to spin cotton
is where the cotton grows, is becoming every
month more deeply imbedded into the minds
of the people OF the cotton belt. The policy
of other manufactures is generally of the
same character, where the material or spe-
cial facilities for particular manufacture
offer themselves, there the manufacture
usually takes place, as We see, for instance,
in the case OF iron-Works, which always
prove most profitable on the spot where the
ore and the coal are both obtainable. 1t
would look laughable in the extreme If New
York were 10 send the merchandise it manu-
features and receives 10 Boston, there to be
shipped abroad. Is it not equally an alb.
surdity for Tennessee, Alabsms, Mississippi
and Arkansas to send their cotton TO Fall
River and Lowell to be spun, when
the cotton Is here and active brains and
skilifnl fingers slong with it? Itis gratifying
to see so many arriving at this rational con-
clusion, the wonder is how it has taken 20
long TO find out go obvious a fact. Upon
this subject S. R. Corkhite, vice-president of
the Cotton Planters Association at Pine
Bluff, Ark, recently wrote: "We want 10
meet delegation of cOtton-spinners from
Manchester, Eng; also, from Germany and
France. The object is 10 form a cotton
syndicate combine our capital, and start
the spinning-mills in the cotton belt, and
thus double the value OF our cotton bales.
Bales Of yarn are worth $50, when ss lint
from the gin they are worth $40. The cost
Of spinning in the cotton belt will not ex.
coed four cents per pound, perhaps less.
This is our grand move for lettering our
condition as planters"

MEMPHIS APPEAL
HECaMARn,a REEuGE.


When Gen. James z. Chalmers bartered
his honor for money, turned traitor to his
party, became beggar for his share Of the
HubbelI corruption fund and the hired pros
ecutor Of old Political friends and comrades
In arms, it was supposed he had reached the
lowest depths of infamy. But his resources
are immense, and he has added still another
shade TO his disgrace. In a card published
few days since, he made false assertion
about the senior editor of the APPEAL. In
reply We branded him as a common elan
derer," "traitor" and "apostate," accused him
of conduct "unspeakably mean," and charged
him with "fabricstipg falsehoods" and utter
ing an "srrant falsehood" He knows better
than be knows he has a. soul that such lam
guage did not admit a newspaper reply, and
that his only recourse was personal redress.
But he pockets these insults and seeks to
shelter himself from disgrace by the resort Of
the coward-a newspaper card abusing US.
He boasts that he published US as falsifer
of our word, when his language is as follows:
"He the senior editor volunteered the az
Burance to me that would never see in the
editorial columns of his paper anything per-
sonslly offensive 10 me. The readers of the
APPEAL know whether he has been true to
his voluntary promises or not" II will thus
be seen that Gen. Chalmers admits that we
have personally offended him, makes the
readers of the APPEAL witnesses to prove
these inaults, and then would have the world
10 halfa hat he If - ca
All, Gen. Cbalmers, you know, and the chiv.
alrous people of Mississippi know,
that such strategy is the coSardly sub
terfuse of q Po!troon. We branded you
with falsehoo5, as traitor, and az guilty
OF conduct unspeakabiy mean, and . ow you
add to your own disgrace by making yourself
as great a coward az We have shown you to
be liar. 1t is not surprising that this
political vagsbond and unprincipled wretch
Is now the dirtiest beast in the filthy den OF
the Republican party, for when knave gets
his own consent TO desert friends, party and
principles. he ID universally more bitter and
proscriptive than the party to whom he car
ries the odium of his good will, because the
apostate knows he is TO live m the hate and
scorn Of those whose cause he has sold for
place, purchased with corruption fund, and
he hopes and expects by the zeal
aad nofse of a new convert to inspire the
friendship Of his new associates just in the
same proportion that he is loathed by those
whom he has deserted. But it is evident the
Republican party ID anxious to rid itself of
the weight of Chalmers's Infamous character,
and soon he will be despised By those who
love the treason while hating the traitor, and
even now his touch is regarded as pollution,
and his name never mentioned by honest
men, save in adherence and contempt.

Texas LANDS.
A Question Raised IBveIving Millions
ofAcres and Purchasers All
over the Country.

AUSTIN, TEX, May 1.-THE acting State
treasurer, w. B. Workman, brought up an
important question concerning class of land
involving millions of acres, and reaching
purcb asers all over the country. He refused a
tender of over $4,000, made up by various
parties for land purchased. He explains
that certain railroad companies holding lapd
certihcates m ade surveys in alternate school
sections and had field notes TAKEN Now parties
claiming that these surveys were not valid
come forward and propose 10 purchase the
land under what is known 10 the fifty-cent
law, and have rendered full payment for LANDS
they desired, Including alternate school Sec
tions with railroad sections. The last Legisla-
ture having declared the questionable surveys
made by the railroads for the benefit of school
lands valid, Mr.. Workman refused 10 include
them as fifty-cent lands. He offered TO re-
ceive money on railroad sections, bu. not OF
alternate school lands. Parties represented
by Judge Hancock as their adviser, made
their tenders for both kinds of land in bulk
refusing 10 divide the question, and this
raised the important issue with the State.

If one of our readers at any time feels a

is really as injurious in lis results as the
APPEAL has often demonstrated it TO be he
has only to think how it has destroyed our
once magnificent shipping trade TO have his
mind thoroughly satisfied upon the subject.
Toe secretary Of the New York Chamber of
Commerce recently published list of the
vessels which we're entered a, the port there
There are vessels from Austrii, Belgium

has between 1000 and 5000 miles of ocean
front dependent upon foreign nations for
carrying the vast freights and merchandize
it receives and sends away. The large sums
that ought to be received by our laboring
population as sailors on board American
owned shipF, paid in support of "the pauper
population of Europe." And when war
comes with some foreign power, and unhap-
PLY in the tide of events this nation too
must undergo what all other nations have
had to endure-Wheu that time comes, what
an attitude we shall present? Even were we
TO buy or build ships to defend our coast and
make rePrisals upon the enemy, where are
we TO find American sesmen to put on
board the American ships? These are facts
which should claim the attention of every
well wisher of his country.
