LITTLE Rock, ARK, July $3.50 far
the present season has been quite
favorable 10 the growing crops of this
State. Wheat, oats, rye aud barley all
average very well. The corn crop is
laid by aud is even better than was
last years crop. The acreage is in.
creased about Is per cent. over the
last planting season, and from every
section come reports that the farmers
will have an overplus OF "hog and

cut short by some unforeseen
disaster, and this class of our citizens
be deprived of their usual fall supply

has been given to stock raising in
almost every part of the State, aud, as
a consequence, large herds of cattle

AT a meeting Of the Water Commit
tee appointed by the Taxing District
Council, held on the 10th Of April
last, the following resolution, offered
by Gen. Greene, was unanimously
adopted: at is the sense of the COM
"mit ee that, in view of the increasing
Population Of the city, The construc'
"tion OF system Of permanent water
"works should be undertaken and
"carried out 40 COON as the necessary
Legislation eau be secured by the
''Tsxipg District; and that, consider
Sing the paramount necessity for the
representation OF the public health, The
"securing and future enlargement Of
"the structures, and the economy in
"the management, the works should
"be constructed, owned and operated
"by the city" There were present
and voting for this comprehensive
resolution, Messrs. Smith, Gavin, Low
enstein, Greene, Mitchell, Helm, Over
ton and Napoleon Hill. This, it seems
to us, settles the question of the Dis
trict's position on the water works
question, and should preclude the
consideration by the Council Of any
offers by any companies to supply the
people OF Memphis with water.

Crawford; reopened at his instance,
have rendered a verdict of guilty
against Mrs. Crawford and granted
her husband a divorce. The jurors

LONDON, July 23.-Sir Chas. Dixie
has issued the following address to the
Chelsea electors:
GENTLEMRN-You are aware that the
intervention of the Queens Proctor in
the case of Crawford vs.. Crawford, on
the plea that the said divorce was pro-
nounced contrary ID the justice OF the
case, and has led to a verdict in which
the fioding of Justice Butt has
been affirmed. This decision has been
come to without my being allowed to
appear by counsel or to address the
jury; without my being allowed ia
cross examine for myself; also, with
out my being supplied with the par
ticulars or bsing given in advance the
names of witnesses, all Of which, un-
der the order OF the court, have
been supplied to the other side. The
Queens proctor, who accep ed some OF
my suggestions for the cross examine
ton, and Sir Walter Pnihmore, who
maintained my position with con-
spicuous ability, appearing, however,
not as my advocate bnt as the repre-
sentative Of an official, was alsl
placed under great disadvantage, by
having practically disclosed the de-
tense before the evidence in
support OF the charge was
given. / have always known
how difficult my case would be, even
If it were presented, as l had reason
to suppose it would be, by my own
advisers, and Ishave never concealed

fed the difficulty. As far SIS my public
life goes, have no option but
to accept the verdict. While protecting

[spEoIAL TO THE APpEAL.I

LITTLE Rock, ARK, July 29.-The
Republican State Central Commit ee
met at the Capitol Hotel today aud
organized. The Hon Powell Clayton
was elected chairman, and Henry M.
Cooper secretary. The committee is
COMPOSED of some OF the best men Of
the State, politics excepted, and the
ticket nominated yesterday is one
worthy OF better cause than
seeking cffiCe through Repub lean
channels in Arkansas. The HON. H.
Bowles, the candidate for superin-
tendant of Public Instruction, was for
merly United States Marshal for the
Western District of Arkansas. Judge
Gregg, their Gnbernstorial candidate,
is one Of the most Influential Repub.

Williams, of Pine Bluff, who has been
in attendance upon the convention,
when approached by your correspon-
dent as to whether or not he intended
becoming candidate for Congress, in
opposition to the Hon. Clifton r.
BieckinIidge, replied very emphati-
calIy that all reports that he would

He knew the race would bs fruitless,
and no good could possibly accrue TO
either himself or the party by his en-

The candidates have onlytwo weeks
for work, and then the people will de-
liver their verdict at the ballot box.
Two weeks is a very short time, con-
sidering all that is at-ttake, but il the
men upon whose shoulders the Demo
cratic mantle has fallen will use every
hour of it judiclously they will have
ne reason to regret it. 1t will not do to
rest content with the fact that oursis the
best ticket, as it is, nor will it do to as
sumo that because it is Endorsed by
the best people OF thu city it is bound
to win. Nothing is gained nowadays
without work. Even with so good
cause as that Of Christianity, priests
and laymeu have to work, and work
hard, to accomplish anything for it.
No one can honestly challenge the fit
ness, capacity, integrity or popularity
of George B.. Peters, yet he must work,
and work without Ceasing until the
day OF election il he would be Attorney
General of Shelby county. So with
Mr.. Harrison, whom every body knows
and every body wishes well. He must
work, and work among his friends,
that they may see that he APP
precates the nomination for Reg
lister, and is determined to leave
no stone unturned 10 securs his cleo
ton. All the candidates must thus
work, and all the friends of the candi-
dates, if Democratic success is to be
achieved.

airy, capturing all the Indian property,
including hundreds OF pounds of dried
meat and nineteen riding animals
This is the fifth time within the three
months in which the Indians have
been surprised by the troops. While
their results have not been decisive,
yet it has given encouragement to the
troops, and has reduced tie number
aud strength of The Indians, and has
given them feeling of insecurity
even in the remote and almost mac
cessible mountains of Mexico.
