SHOOTING MATCH
In This City Next "wednesday he
tween PeRrOse and Meadows.


Mr.. H. A. Penrose. the champion
wing shot Of the United States, will
shoot the 6rst OF eeries Of three
matches at the Baseball Park next
Wednesday. His contestant will be
Mr.. Andy Meadows OF Nashville, and
the stakes are 1850 q side, terms Of
match 100 live birds, thirty yards rise
from FIVE ground traps, national
rules to govern. The event
will doubtless draw an immense crowd
to the park, not only from the city,
but the surrounding neigh6Orhood for
hundreds of milee. A large delegs-
ton is expected from Nashville, some
of whom will doubtless be prepared
to back their man. An estimate OF
Mr.. Penn ose's skill nay be formed
from the followir g:
cat recent pigeon shoot at ST.
Catherine's, Ont Canadian, who
shot under the name OF Grifh lbs, made
proposition that George Luther OF
Syracuse, N. Y, could not produce
man from The States who could shoot
against him. Luther accepted the
challenge, and stab es of 5000 q side
were put up Lu her sens for Penrose
of Texas, and few days sgo took him
to Hamilton, where the match was to
come off. They shot at 100 birds each.
PenTose, who shot under the lame Of
II. P. Adams, killed ninety-one and
Griffin killed eighty-nine, Penrose be
ing the winner by two birds, and the
referee declared the shoot in bis favor.
This decision provoked much bad feel
ing, and the Canadians surrounded
the referee, when he decided all bets
and pools off. Four thousand eight
hundred dollars side was in stake
holders hands and 5000 side in the
pool-box, maxine total of 5000"

HeNttt.a Customs RnI.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The Ways
and Means Committee to-day took up
the Hewitt customs bill, as agreed
upon at Yesterdays meeting, and
added to it the free list of the Morri-
son bill so far as it applies to lumber,
fish, salt, fax and hemp. Wool was
also added to the free list. Under the
head of dutiable goods, the chemical
and cotton schedules of the Morrison
bill were added, with amendments re-
lating to fine qualities of cotton goods,
and the sugar duties were reduced 10
per cent.
Democratic members of the Ways
and Means Committee express the
opinion, based upon the departmental
estimates, that the new bill will effect
a reduction of between 81, 000, 900 and
$24,00O,C00 in the revenues of the
government.

SUNDAY, april 4, 1856.
TEN PAGES
JUDGE BAxrER's SUCCESSOR

There was a general expression Of
regret thrtu u hout the city yesterday
at the death Of the Hon. Jos nBaxter.
His faults we're forgotten, and many
were the tributes paid to his abilities
aud virtuts. There was considerable
discussion as to his probable successor,
and public opinion seemed to be uni
ted in iavoring the appointment OF the
Hon. Bedford VI. Estes of this city.
The APPRAL most cordially Endorses
the wisdom OF this. selection, and
earnestly joins in urging his appoint
ment, iorthere is not q man in Ten
nessee better qualified for filling the
position than this distinguished law
yer. In all the relations in life b. M.
Estes is model. He is an exem-
plary member OF the Presbyterian
Church, and lie universally recogn zsd
as one Of the ablest aud profJundest
lawyers Of the whole country.
His abilities are Of the highest order,
his name is uneullied, and he is a gem
tleman Ct grta. social virtues and per-
sonal popularity. OF course President
Cleveland will, to great degree, be
influenced in filling the vacancy by
qualifications, ard he will find in the
Hon. b. NJ. Estes every prerequisite
for the faithful and efficient discharge
of the responsible duties devolvlng
upon a Judge Of the United State s
District Oours. He has gifted intel
lect, end his ambition has oil been
professional. Familiar with the law,
strong in intellect, in will, in purpose,
in integrity, in force OF character and
In the energy Of duty, he is pre-emi-
nently qualified for the place made
vacant by the death Of Judge
BBxter. Indeed, there is much in his
character which is in perfect accord
with the thnarter Of the President
himself. Mr.. Estes has ever been
Democrat, without variableness Of
change or shadow Of turning" But
no has never been partisan Office
seeker, because his large and Lucrative
practice forced him to decline oflicil
honom. He is in the meridian Of life
physically and mentally, aud believ
ing that "public Office i, a public
trust" he would make model judge
OF the court TO which he will be rec
commended by his friends. According
to the high standard by which Mr.
Cleveland measures applicants io
high judicial station, he will fad hi
ideal in b, NJ. Estes, for he is an ex
emplary Christian gentleman, and II
all the South there is not an ablsr o
profounler lawyer. -.

ST. MARY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH.
A New Branch of catholic knights
of America Among the German
citizens of Memphis.

Some of the most reputable German
Catholics of Memphis have for some
time asst entertained the idea Of cali
ing into existence a new branch Oithe
well organized order OF Catholic
Knights of America, to be composed
of German Catholics. Many of the
highly-educated and most solid of the
Eoglish speaking members Of the or
der have already given Il cir unquali-
fed approval aud offer heariy
wishes for the .apid growth and vigor
of the new branch, and give the fol-
loving reasons for so doing;
Besides the well-known advantages
possessed by the whole Order of Cath
olic Knights of America, this branch
will enjoy certain facilities which will
be OF or at value to, its members as
Germsns.
First Chis branch will constitute a
center OF uniol for German Catholics,
fostering among them religion, morals
and henevoleuCe, and which may to
some extent even afford en- oppoEuni-
ty OF advancing the material interests
of its members.
Secondly organizing branch oil
the Knights amorg German Catholics,
German young men will enjoy all the
pecuniary advantagesfor which benev-
client societies are established, and
with the additional boon of having
full opportunities for fuifi ling all the
duties they owe to th-ir church and
their conscience.
Third-It is quite ohvious that Ger.
mau ideas and CUSTOMS can Ia no bet
Ter way be cultivated an preserved
than by Germans holding meetings o!
their own. They can without embar-
ra3ement and quts clearly, in theiI
own language, discuss and commune
with one another on slcisty or Other
matters.
Lastly, as the German Catholics
young snd old, have already done sc
much toward the erection and main
tanning of the beautiful structure o.
s.. Mays church, which ia q credit
to the country and to the city, they
should now Join this branch of the
noble Brotherhood of the Catholic
Knights OF America.
An advisory meeting, with view
OF preparing for Organization, will b'
held in the school rooms attached tc

as the evils they have supplanted.

OF woman is gloriously onward, and
will never stop until she achieves al
her rights. Stewards "highers. Jaw"
doctrine is dangerous, for obedience
to law is the first duty of the good
citizen, bulwark for the protection
OF civilization. In all civilized COM

which demands thespeedy, remorseless
execution Of the rapist, and the fat
has gone forth that the seducer under
promise Of marriage shall surely die.
The acQuittal OF Miss Normenb on Fri

the verdict emphasizes public opinion
on this question. A few years ago the
saducer ia this case would have been
a hero, and the victim a murderess
dragged TO the scaflold. But Miss Nor

public. Her triumphant acquittal
shows that woman is proudly emery

ages. As winter suspends the growth

rights everywhere is upward and

THE BRINKLEY CASE.
A JudgInent for $4,000 Rendered
In Chancery Yesterday.

In the suit Of W, Il. Green law,
executor, VS.. IL, l.. Brinkley and
others, Judge Mcdowell yesterday
rendered decision against Mr..
Bdnkley for $7S76l OF, against
which, 1t ia understood, Mr..
Brinkley holds between $4,000
and 100000 Of judgments and
claims against the Greenlaw estate as
an offset, which will release him of
nearly or quito three.fourihs Of the
burden OF the judgment. This action
was begun about Ave years ago, though
II grows out Of the trans actions Of the
firm OF Greenlaw, Brinkley &
Tate in the building Of
the Memphis aud Little Rock
railroad in 1870, when Mr.. Greenlaw
took the contract for building twenty
miles of the read, including the
bridge across White liver, Messrs.
Tate 4 Brinkley agreeing to pay their
share OF the expense, or one
third each. The work was &C
cordingly done, aud an effort was
made TO reach q settlement in the
spring of rs, but II was unsuccessful.
Mr. Greenlaw died in the summer Of
that year and Ia the fall this suit was
begun. 1t lay dormant until the spring
OF 81, when the bill was amended
and it is upon the amended bill that
the decision YVES rendered. The case
will, OF course, be- taken to the SUI
preme Court. Those who are familiar
with the building Of the road will
doubtless be surprised to hear that
judgment for any amount was rem
dered against Mr., Brinkley.

GREAT STORMS PREDICTED.
Heavy Pains, High winds and his.
RsIrous Floods.

LEAvENwoRTH, KAs., April S,-Prof.
Foster, meteorologist, late of Iowa,
will make the following prediction
through the Times tomorrow morn
ing: "Great storms will pass over the
United States in rapid succession dur
ing the last ten days of April, and all
shipping interests, especially in the
Northern States should prepare to
protect their property from
heavy rains, high winds,
floods, sleet, snow and extreme
changes of the weather on land and
from dangerous gales on the lakes and
Atlantic coast. The heaviest of these
storms will be over the Mississippi
basin, about April 25th or 26th. West

Foster was the author of the predic-
ton that great storms would pass

States February 25th and 26th, and

dicted week ago.

the part OF Gould, and he might just
