James II. Porter. of Tennessee, for Vice
President.

Morristown (Tenn.) Gazette: The Mem
phis APPEAL, of a recent date, contains an
able article on the question of Southern
recognition on the Democratic Presiden-
tial ticket OF 1884. We are truly glad to
see that such an able, leading and %influen-
tial journal, published in the heart of
Dixie, has taken thei initiative in this mat
ter, and that its claims and reasons have
been readily and enrdially Endorsed by
representative journals, North anu iSoutif.
Assuredly, the very best thing that could
he done-the wisest and most s~agacious
step hat could now be taken by the Dem
ocratic party-wonld be the fun, free. open
and hearty recognition OF the great South,
and the utilization of her peerless states
manship in the Presidential contest next
year h war and all questions arising
therefrom have been settled and accepted
in good faith by both the great political
parties OF the country. Why, then,
in the name of right, reason and COM
mon sense, should sectional prejudice,
jealousy and cowardice be longer tolerated
and a great section of the Union (whosc
illustrious statesmen are the pride, not
only of the South which produced them,
but of the North and the nation as WE'LL
be longer ignored in the selection OF can
didates for the highest of republican hon
ors? There is no plausible reason for the
continuance OF such an unjust, pusillani-
nous course. Ia people of the South
have fully accepted the arbitrament OF
arms as final. Their peaceful, faithful and
patriotic acquieScence therein, for eighteen
years, fully proves that they are to-day as
truly loyal to the Union as any Northern
Republican or Democrat can be. Conse-
~quently they now think they are entitled
to, and demand as a right, a recognition of
their fidelity to the constitution, the coun-
try and the party ut the hands of the next
Democratic National Convention. All
they ask is an equal, or fair, share in their
p~arty's-their country's-honors, and that
the egis Of the constitution guarantee equal
protection, favors and blessings to all sec
tionsof the country alike. In 1876 and 1880
the candidates of the Democratic party for
President aud Nice-President were chosen
from the North, yet the Democratic party
of the South came TO the rescue with a
solid vote for the nominees, showing con-
clusively that we were not a jealous or
sectional people, as the men we voted for
were representative Northern men. Now
we are tired and sick of the namby-
pambyism and Observation-Disclosures of
those who can see nothing but
lions and The ghost OF the rebellion in the
Democratic pathway. We regard il a duty
which we owe to the material prosperity
of the country, as well as a sacred privil-
eye which we have the right to exercise,
to insist that the next Democratic Ma
tional Convention shall select their candi-
date for Vice president from the South.

THE LEVEE~
What 1t Left for the People 10 DO 10
Carry Out Its Objects.

Nicksburg Herald: The start is made but
the work is yet to be done. 1t is designed
to have i'll Washington an able, persist
ent body of men TO do the work laid out.
The mere passing of resolutions by a con-
vcntlUn ever so influential and auar ca 70
spectacle will not cause the committee to
go to Washington, nor can it do the work
so much needed by the lower valley.
Money must be raised to bear the ex-
penses of the mber of the committee,
and the cities, towns, villages and counties
of he lower valley must raise it. 1t is
not proposed to pay any member a salary
to go, but it is only Just to pay the ex-
pense OF the members and of the COM
mittee as n body, indeed it is far bet
ter to do this, for if it is done it is
much more probable that something
valuable will be accomplished. 1t must
be borne in mind that it is a hardship for
Il few individuals 70 pay the few thousands
OF dollars that Will be required, while it is
a trifle for the lower valley to raise for so
important a purpose. A nance commit
tee has been appointed, and we trust that
the citizens OF the section interested will
respond literally to the appeal that will
be made. The convention failed to attack
in the proper spirit those among us who
have obstructed, for their own selfish
ends, the great work so necessary to the
development of the valley. The delegates
should have remembered that it is a good
rule to remove obstacles. Cowdon was
noising around possessed of a raging desire
to speak, and while the convention gave
him no sort of recognition, il failed to dose
him and Capt. feathers as they deserve.
1t should have shown up their selfish
schemes, anu 1t siTvold have hinSs1 in
very plain language to the people of the
valley, that as feathers furnishes Cowdon
with the sinews OF war, they should moi
supply feathers with money to be used tc
destroy their property. A hint like. thai
from such a body would have posted the

Greenville Miss. Times: Under the
above head we nave reproduced a recent
interesting editorial from the New York
Herald, upon a subject set in motion by
the Memphis APPEAL; to wit, the placing
of a Southern man on the ticket of 1884,
for Vice-President. The tone of the Her.
Gtds article is most commendable and
gratifying to its readers at the South. We
favor the suggestion OF the APPEAL. Not
for any particular benefit or honor that we
would expect to see accrue therefrom to
the South; for as commonly regarded, and
always bestowed, this is Il prize for second
rate men. Blu because we think il high
time that II Democratic party, at least,
should elevate itself above war prejudices.
There is neither sense nor justice in a
~prolongation of the ban under which
the South has been held for nearly
twenty years past. And more, there
is a weakness in Southern men
continuing to accept this ban. While
we are striving to regain our local
governments all shifts and devices
closed. The nomination of a sure-enough
Southern man on a ,nati0pal ticket would
signaIlZe that TACT, il it did no more. vi
course there are those who will deprecate
and counsel against this proposal; will
argue plausibly, and even forcibly, its in
expediency. The Democratic party has
been framing its ticket and platform foi
twenty years past to fulfill the expedi.
encies. During all that time it has had
one leader who has addressed the country
in a letter of acceptance, clear and direct,
without concealments or evasions. That
man was Mr.. Tilden, and he was elected
All of its other candidates, manly and true
men, with pure records, have been hedged
and hampered and bridled by the dictates
of the sole guide, expediency. In the
light of these remembrances we favor 4
change from a purely defensive campaign.
And II we are unsuccessful, defeat in &
manly, square fight is not hard to be
borne. Success should not be the sole, ol
ever the chief ond and aim of q party OF q
frao ucODle.

WIFE-ABDUCTION.
A Startling Sensation in Social Circles
at 81. Johns, N. Il.

OTTAWA, ONT, October "A great SEN
sation was caused in st. Johns, n. b., on
Saturday night by a case of wife-abduc-
ton. About three years ago Miss Lena
Robinson, a handsome young lady, whose
father occupies a prominent position in
connection with the Government Savings
Bank in that city, was secretly married at
Amherst, n. H., to De Blavier Carritte, a
son of DR.. Carritte, Of that place, contrary
to the wishes of his parents, who had a
more eligible partner in view. The couple
separated Immediately after the cere-
mOny. the lady returning to her parents
and Carritte going to New York. When
the secret leaked out there was great
Indignation in the Robinson house
hold, and it was determined a
divorce should be procured. For
this purpose it is said the young
lady resided in one of the Eastern States
for some time. Carritte was openly OPP
posed to any such proceeding and the lady
was brought home. Carritte returned to
st. Johns this year and established himself
in business. He was not allowed toopenly
approach his wife. About 10 o'clock on
Saturday, accompanied by friends, he fol-
lowed MIR. Robinson and his daughter to-
ward their home, and when in q dark
street assaulted Robinson and seized the
young lady, and, putting her into a coach
on hand for the purpose, drove off. Yes
terday morning Carritte and his wife were
found at a city hotel, where they had ar
rived about = O'Clock am, after a drive
around some country roads. Carritte was
arrested on a warrant for assault, informa-
ton having been laid against him by Mr..
Robinson. The young husband acted on
legal advice, and it is believed that the
young lady was privy to the abduction.
The parties move in the best social circles.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
That tho Georgia Pacific be Extended
from birmingham TO Memphis.

A road from Corinth to Birmingham
would accomplish all that could be desired
by Memphis toOpen a way to the iron and
coal field OF Alabama.-Corinh Herald.
Yes, or better still the extension of the
Georgia Pacific from Columbus to Holly
Springs would accomplish the same pur-
pose quicker.-ChichdSdW Messenger.
We should feel glad to know that a
road would be built from Memphis to
Columbus, as the people along that route
need il, but this will give no more OF Il di-
rect line from Memphis to Birmingham
than will he secured ria Tuscumbia. Be-
sides the leading object with Memphis is
not gained by either route. A direct line
from birmingham to Memphis would pen
citrate II rich coal fields of Walker county,
ms well as other coal beds much nearer to
Memphis. 1t is said that valuable coal
beds exist within sixty or seventy miles
of Corinth along this route and it is to the
interest of Memphis to develop that which
is most convenient. The Georgia Pacific
will not diverge from its purpose TO build
to either Greenville or Natchez, yetit may
form n new line with the Memphis and
I Kansas City, forming a junction with this
and other roads ut Memphis and Corinth,
n thing that seems reasonable and full of
promised profit. Should the Memphis
and Selma route be changed from its orig
ind purpose. it would most assuredly be
for an airline from Holly Springs to
birmingham, touching about Saltillo in
stead of Okolona and extending through
the rich coal and iron fields OF Alabama.
We have no doubt of the building of a di-
rect line either from Corinth or Holly
Springs to Birmingham, and that from
Corinth being so much the cheapest as
well as shortest, is the one most likely to
be adopted.-COrinth Herald.

THE THREE-CENT STAMP.

GoOd-by, old stamp, it's but poor luck
That ends our friendship 50.
When Others failed, you gameiy stuck,
But now poU're got to go.
So here's n flood of honest tears,
And here's an honest sigh
Good-by, old friend of many years
GOod-by, old stamp, good-byi
Your life has been n varied one,
With curious phases fraught-
Sometimes n check, sometimes a dun,
our daily coming brought;
Smiles to a waiting lovers face,
Tears to a mothers eye,
Or joy or pain to every place
Good-by, old stamp, good-by.
All, in your last expiring breath
The tale of years is heard
The sound of voices hushed in death,
A mothers dying word.
A maidcn's answer, soft and sweet,
A wife's regretful sigh,
The pntter of a baby's feet
Good-by, old stamp. good-by!

Lamar for viee-Presidenf.

Jackson Miss Clarion The PROPOSE
ton to nave a Southern man on the next
Democratic ticket for President originated,
we think. with the Meridian Mercury, and
has been echoed by many papers through
out the land. This certainly accords with
our own feeling, but we are in for a strong
ticket and victory next time. II the
presence of n Southern name will not
weaken the ticket before the nation, then
by all means let us have it. But let us
subordinate any local preferences to a pol
icy for success. The Mercury suggests Mr.
Lamar and he seems to be spoken of W tn
more favor than any other yet mentioned,
Though the Clarion has seen fit to attack
Mr.. Lamar's course on various occasions
these criticisms were specific, and limited
to the questions under discussion, and
while we think he has one wrong at times
we do not undertake to call in question
his purity of motive or integrity of char
acter, and we will be found giving him d
hearty support should he receive the nom
nation.

THE SOUTH
Ought at Least TO Furnish the Vice.
President for the Democratic
Ticket i'm 1854.
So Say Many OF the Most Influential
Newspapers-Lamar and Porter
Nominated.

No political question now before the
people attracts so much attention as that
which the APPEAL suggested a few weeks
ago touching the ticket in 1884. Public
sentiment is slowly but surely crystalliz-
ing for its support, and We feel quite
satisfied that it will come before the
Democratic Convention next year with
such force as to win its way with a ma
jority of the delegates. Even from far
away Colorado there m an unex-
pected Endorsement, and the suggestion
that the present Governor of that State
an ex~-Confederate soldier-would be an
acceptable Democratic candidate for the
Presidency. The more it is dis
cussed the more plainly it forces itself
upon the minds of men as a logical result
of the present condition of things that at
least the Vice-President should be Sc,
lected from the South in 1884.
