Seasonable weather and Promising
Crops-A Political Move
mcDts.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE APPKAL.l
CHARLESTON, May 22.-Nice showers and
promising crops. Business dull with our
merchants.
There is great rejoicing in Democratic
circles at present on account of the affirm
alton of the decision of our Circuit Cour.
in the contested election case of J. d.
Steele as. w. NJ. Calhoun, by the Supreme
Court, and much weeping and wailing
! ETC., in & Radical camp from the same
| cause. A brief history of the cause oil
the contest is as follows: W. b. Marshall
lately bolter from the Democratic party,
and leader in our last election of the op
position to Democracy, was intrusted the
! responsibility of having ballots for his
followers prepared, who suffered a dotted
I line to be placed on all the tickets for one
. of the beats of the county, to indicate q
T. space left for the insertion of beat officer
whose name he did not know. Sew.
| eral hundred of these tickets were
voted, and the County Board oi
| Election Commissioners, in their
| canvass of the returns, acting upon the
1 statute, which plainly says; "There shall
be no mark or device by which one ballot
| can be distinguished from another" threw
| out all OF these dotted-line tickets, which
4 gave the election to the Democrats. The
Independents and Republicans claimed
that this dotted line did not vitiate the
ticket, and appealed from the decision o
the board to the Circuit Court, which sus
| tained the decision of the commissioners
They then appealed to the Supreme Court
when they were again unsuccessful, a
stated above.
A cyclone passed over portion of thi
county a few morning since about
O'Clock, destroying the residences of R
Buckhalter and L. L. Devaney, but doin,
no bodily harm to anyone except Mrs
Deyaney, who was quite painfully wound
ed by a piece OF flying timber.

Important DecisIons.

Nashville Banner, Thursday: The Unit
ed States Circuit Court met this morning
at 10 o'clock, Associate Justice Stanley
Matthews and Judges Key and Baxter
presiding.
The case of James B. Everett ct al. ss. @.
h. Whitworth ct al was the first called.
This cause was originally brought in the
Chancery Court of Davidson county by
complaipants, seeking to declare void
S300G00 OF bonds issued to the Tennessee
and Pacific railroad. 1t was subsequently
transferred to the United States Circuit
Court at Nashville. and at former term
Of the court was argued orally before
Judge Baxter and written briefs filed. 1t
has been considered by Judge Matthews,
OF the United States Supreme Court, and
Judges Baxter and Key, and the opinion
Of the court was delivered to-day by Justice
Matthews.
The court, without going into the ques-
tions of the power of the county to issue
the bonds, or the regularity or validity of
the action OF the county officers in issuing
the bonds, held that the bill on the part
of the taxpayers could not be maintained
when the officers of the court were in good
faith levying taxes to pay the interest
and the bonds at maturity. When there
was no collusion or fraud on the part of
the county officers in levying the tax,
they were the proper parties to act in the
matter, especially when the county officers
were left TO act in the absence of any
charge or proof of want of good faith on
their part, and when there was not made
out clear case that the county officers
were not mistaken in the course pursued
by them. The order of the court was that
the bill be dismissed at complainants'
costs.
The complainants were represented by
Colyar, Marks & Childress, James Trim
bell and j. W..Baker, and the defense by
Demoss & Malone, G. d. Berry, ]. d.
Wade, NJ. Vaughn and Pitcher & Weaver.
The next cases on the docket to be dis
posed of are two tax suits brought by the
State of Tennessee against Geo. K. Whit
worth, asking for mandamus to compel
him to assess the individual shares of the
| Nashville and Chattanooga and Nashville
| and Decatur railroads, under an act OF
| 1888, authorizing the collectors to assess
any property omitted by the regular as
SCISSORS. The amount involved is the as
sessment on S6,670,000 stock in shares OF
SIS each, held by various parties, princi-
| pally by non residents. Whitworth de-
| clined to assess said property, and hence
the suit. On the other hand, the defend
| ants claim that the shares have been re-
garded as railroad property, and to assess
them now as individual property would be
| assessing the same property twice. The
| arguments will be lengthy.

MIR. Il. II. Word.

Mr.. E. II. Word, who has known the
Chickasaw Bluffs ever since they were oc-
cupied by the Indians, and who has been
in the business since lS65-the first real
estate office opened-was next called upon
and spoke enthusiastically of the present
condition of Memphis property and OF
the outlook for the future. "There is a
greater demand for zeal estate" he said,
ethan l have known for fifteen or twenty
years. Just after the war 1t went up to a
fictitious value but coon declined again,
and very rapidly, as a natural result.
The present good feeling in regard to it
began two or three years ago, and is built
upon firm foundation. A great deal of
city and suburban property has gone up
from twenty-five to fifty per cent, and
doubled or even tlebled. Several years
ago it was impossible to sell real estate in
Memphis. Occasionally small piece
would be disposed of, but always at a very
low figure. Now it has its value like cot
ton or any other commodity. 1t used to
be tue practice of great many men who
owned real estate to stand around on the
corners and talk about its not paying in
surance and taxes, when l knew it to be a
sact that they were making twelve to fif-
teen per cent. These msn droye o.!
strangers and hurt their own interests.
One of the best signs of the times is that
the principal, and I might say the
only buyers OF real estate in Memphis to-
day are men who have lived here nearly
eli their lives and who know exactly what
they are doing. The city is rapidly grow.
ing, and it is already the case that every
house built is rented before it is completed
There is hardly vacant shelter in the
city. Next fall property will be still higher
/ predict that the advance on an average
will be fully twenty-five per cent"

Mr.. Wheatley said: ''The prospects fox
a steady rise in real estate are very favora-
BILE indeed, though the increase in prices
has not been rapid enough to make it a
boom. The best thing that can be said
and one that will have most weight ii
true, as believe it to be, is that the pres
ent value of real estate is permanent, and
there is no reason why we should expert
ence a decline in prices. l have no diff
Guilty whatever to rent houses now at 8
good price which were formerly vacant g
dood deal of the time. A large number
of persons. merchants and Jewish people
especially, who are provident and far-see
ing, have been making application
ever since March to renew leases
for another year which do not
expire before next fall. In no case have
L received or accepted propositions fol
lower rent for the coming year, and in
many cases it has been at an advance
Another fact about these leases is that
have been asked but once in the past six
months to insert what is commonly known
as the epidemic clause" providing for hall
rent in such a case. Besides the rapid
increase in population and the improved
sanitary condition of the city, there are
several causes which tend to advance the
value of property anG increase rents. Fol
instance, the insurance war, which broke
up the Board of Underwriters ant
created a lively competition, has low
cred the rate. The taxation is o.
low as consistent with the proper support
of the government, which is honestly and
economically administered. 1t gives ar

| good profit out OF the rents after insur
ance and taxes are paid. The fact tha

prosperity of Memphis has spread, ant

Bluff and $4,000 from New Orleans for in

OF this city places the damage to railroad
property as high as S5,000.000: This,
however, includes the loss by delay, and
probably decrease in agricultural pro-
ducts. The actual immediate damage is
placed at 100000, besides several hun
