Hon. j. II. Mcdowell, Of Union City,
on the came subject. The audience
seemed anxious to hear, and paid
marked attention to e0ch of the speak

question in its various phases. Dinner
time coming on, hounteous "basket

noticeable in the evident relish OF
these who partook q it. The day was

SENATOR IsHAm @. HARRIS.


We have had no communication
with Senator Harris personally or by
letter for eight months and know moth
ing Of his future plans. 1t will be seen
from the communication published in
another column, over the signature OF
IAN Old Democrat" aud written by a
gentleman who has the confidence Of
Senator Harris, that bis candidacy for
a reelection to the Senate depends on
contingencies. There is no man in
Tennessee who has more OF the con-
fldence and affections OF the people
than Senator Harris. He has earned
this trust and love by years Ct faithful
public service. The war made upon
him by those anxious for his place,
without knowing whether or not
he will be candidate, does
not comport with the sentiments
OF the people OF Tennessee who, if they
possess one trait Of character above
and beyond all others, it is fidelity 20
the men they have go long trusted,
and who have proved true as the needle
to the pole TO their interests. No man
in the United States Senate stands
higher than Ishsm q. Harris, and he
cannot be driven from the councils OF
the nation by q war on his record or
by the contemplate charge that he is
growing old, when there are dozen
men in the Senate his eenior, kept there
because, like him, they have served the
people usefully and ably. In 1876 a
similar effort was made TO crush Sena-
tor Harris. When his name was pro
posed in the Democratic State Conven-
ntion as elector for the State at large
the same set that are now treduciDg
him raised then, as now, a preconcert.
ed howl against him. Senator Harris
refused TO accept the position Of
elector rendered under such circum-
stances, forwarded his resignation
ton 70 the Democratic Executive Com
mitteo, announced himself candidate
for the United States Senate, canvassed
the State and was elected United States
Senator without opposition. Such q
man ought TO be permitted TO retire
with the honor he has won and
which is his rightiul due. One thing
is certain, he cannot be driven into re-
TRACY by the methods adopted by
those who are anxious for his Bhoes.
When Senator Herbs sees proper to
retire he should be permitted to end
his oventful public career OF spot
less integrity, eminent usefulness and
answering fidelity to every public
trust, broad craftsmanship that
embraced not only Tennessee, but the
welfare and honor of the whole coun.
try, not as a repudiated public servant,
but one who carries with him the love,
admiration and gratitude OF the peo-
pie he has 30 faithfully served.

OF the union, but in order to deceive
the public have had a counterfeit label
made. Attached to the bill OF com.

and the alleged counterfeit. The first
reads as follows: "Ihis certifies that
the cigars contained in this box have
been made by fist class workman,
member OF the Cigsr Makes Inter

ization opposed to rat shop, co lie,

reads just the same, but differs little
10 the type. Like the original label it
bears facsimile of the signature OF
A. sirssser, president of the Inter

the court to enjoin the defendants
from using the label.

MILLEDGEvILLR, Ill, August 49,
This county is all excited tonight ow-

united here this afternoon at / 80
o'clock. Frank Wood, notorious
character of this place, who has abused
his vile and was recently put under
bonds to keep the peace, went to DR..

head, fired. He then turned the
weapon upon himself and sent bull
let through his brain, dying instantly.
His wife lived about an hour end a
half. Wood wasinot vicious person,
but lately he had been excessively
jealous, without cause, it is said, and
he has been brutal in his actions
toward his wife. Woods folks are
prominent and wealthy people, but he
was a fellow who had no vieible means
of support and who would not work
His wife came from most estimable
family.

THE PROaREss or THE soUr,


The activity which is seen and felt
throughout the South indicates a pro.
greseive prosperity unsurpassed by
any section OF tho Union. Notwith-
attending there is ttill bitter feeling
of hatred in the North toward the
South, the preSs in that section is
forced to admit that the South is expe-
rieneiDg tide OF prosperity such as II
has never before known. The busi
ness depression, which has prevailed
for few years past through the East
ern and Central States, has hardly
been felt in the Southern belt. A con-
siderable part of the accumulated, idle
capital in the North has sought in.
vestment in the South, the conditions
being such that it could be put to
profitable uses there, aud the result
has been q development in various d.
rections, certain and steady, that has
put new face on the prospects Of
large communities. Every South
ern State is making known its
resources with the view OF securing
the idle capital OF the North seek
ing investment in the South. The col
umns of the ArPEAL, which for forty
six years has Champloned the political
and material interests OF the Southern
people, are still open to the people OF
the surrounding States who wish to
make known their resources, their in
ducements for capital and immigra.
ton. 1t will DO seen from another col
umn that 7. +. Sorrells, q prominent
lawyer and citizen OF Pine Bluff, Ark,
has undertaken the task of writing mp
the rich, prosperous section in which
he lives. Mr.. Sorells's letters will not
be the uterances OF real estate agent,
a land speculator who Is advertising his
business. They will be inspired solely
by desire to promote the general
prosperity of the community, And
Memphis ia deeply interested in this
prosperity, for Pine Bluff and
the rich country in which II
is located contributes largely to
the business prosperity OF Memphis,
and with new railroad facilities Mem
phie will be the natural trading center
for this Immense scope Of country I'M
surpassed on the lace OF the globe for
richness and varied productivenes.
Everything secms TO be working for
the future prosperity Of the South and
sure Sign OF its new energy and
growth is the rapid extension and i'm
prcvement Of railroad facilities. There
are seven trunk lines Of railway now
building or contemplated, aggregating
1900 miles, and since 1850 over 10000
miles OF new railroads have been built.
Capital from the North and from Eng
land is seeking this kind Of invest
ment, and probably the opinion that
the next twenty-five years is to see a
development in the South rivaling that
OF the West is not more sauguine than
ssgacious, Already there is a strong
current OF emigration setting toward
the Southern States from the whole
Northern section. Many farmers are
moving from the Northwest, tempted
by the cheapness Of good land, not
lees than by the geniality of the
climate. 1t can hardly be doubted
that today the South affords the most
promising opportunities for Jung
men i the older States who seek less
crowded fields.

THE BULGARIAN COUP D'ETAT.
The events in Bulgaria formed the
principal theme of conversation in the
lobby Of the House OF Commons to-
ng1t. The Psrnellites and advanced
Radicals hold that diplomatic Compli-
cations must inevitsbl ensue, arguing
that it will be impossible r the gov
eminent to submit 10 coup d'etst,
which go greatly increases the Cars
influence in the Balkans.
The Ministerialists admit that the
deposition of Prince Alexander is
matter of extreme gravity, but they
say that even il it be proved that Rus
sis ins'igated the movement it will be
difficult for England, because 1t is
generally assumed that Austria and
Germany acquiesced in Alexsnder's
overthrow. 1t is considered improb-
able by the Conservatives thai the
government will enter pro; est in the
matter. The government has been
reliably informed tia; Prince Alexan-
der is cate and well in Roumania. The
Paris Temps considers that England
has received a rebuff, and it fears that
the events in Sofia will arouse rival
sentiments which have been lying
dormant for two yea,s.
