MAKING FOR THAT MAIL.
Another Letter From Con. J. r. chal

Another Letter from Con. j. X. Chal'
mers to the Grand Mogul.
Gen. James II. Chalmers has set his
heart upon double daily mail between
Memphis and Grenada, via the only line,
the Mississippi & Tennessee branch OF the
Illinois Central Railroad.
When the General finds his heart in any
great matter his next step is to put his
mind and hands TO work to attain IL, and
thus il is in the eminently deserving UNI
dertaking Of adequate mail service.
TnE APPEAL lew weeks since published
letter from the General TO the Postmaster
General, the Hon. John Wanamaker, on
the subject, in which few OF the necessities
were pointed out. That official referred the
paper to Mr.. L. NJ. Terrell, Superintendent
OF the Railway Mail Service for the Fourth
Division, with headquarters ut Atlanta, Ga.
Considering the courses 1t had to take, the
reply found its destination in good time,
and THE APPEAL this morning presents the
rcjoinder OF Gen. Chalmers. Ii is rs fol.

Mt L. NJ Terrell, supL r. NJ. S. Fourth Division,
Atlanta Ca;
Dear Sir-Your letter in reply to mine,
asking for double daily mail service be-
tween Memphis aud Grenada, has been
sent TO me by the Postofico Department.
! appreciate your remark about the want
Of power TO start morning pas
scnger train from Memphis but
differ with you about the freight
train giving MS no relief. IL is true II is
slow Ms YOU say, but a letter from New
York for fernando now remains day in
Memphis. The answer reaches Memphis
too late for the morning mail to New York
and must lose another day there. II the
mail came on the local freight the letter
would reach fernando and the answer
reach Memphis the same evening in time
for the night mail for New York.
The same is true OF every postoilice from
Horn Lake TO Senatobia inclusive. Now
take Sards, my home. My letters from
Washington remain day in Memphis aud
reach Sardis at o'clock p. IN. ! must be
in great hurry 10 get my answer In for
| the ji5 o'clock train next morn
/ ing and still the answer must wait another
day in Memphis. Between Sardis and
Grenada It grows worse, and three days
are nearly always lost in such cor
rcspondcncc. II the mail came on the
local freight we would have ample time 10
reply by the morning train, or We could
send an answer by tho evening train 10
Grenada, and thence directly north on lhe
morning train.
You say again. "The amount Of bust.
nes over that line Is not sufficient, in my
| judgment. 20 warrant double daily trains. v
This Is the old Argument against the star
route service. II was never intended that
mail service should be confined TO places
where IL did not pay, and feel sure that q
inan OF your Intelligence aud libcralily
would not, after reflection, urge such OBJ
lection TO improved mail facilities any.

rendered by 81. Vincent Campiglia's cele-
brated parlor orchestra, was most pro-
nounced success. Several hundred people
were in attendance and the unanimous
verdict was that 1t was an artistic rendition
aud a musical treat. Samolson x Co. do
nothing by halyes-they represent only
what they will do-they employ no penny
talent and can always suhslantiaie what
they advertise. They have just received a

There is no branch Of the
agricultural interests of the Uni
ted States of equal Importance
with the Dairy; not one which is
now more imperfectly understood
by the average farmer; and not
one in which a little intelligence,
thought and care will yield SO
quick and liberal returns. The
average gross products per milk
cow in the United States does not
exceed thirty-fve dollars in value;
it probably is nearer thirty. OF
the COWS that fall below the
average, there are very many
thousands, the value of whose
products will not exceed twenty
dollars, and an immense number
that do not pay for their keeping
In those sections where the bust
ness is properly understood and
conducted, the average is easily
pushed up to $40 and $50 per COW
and very many entire diaries are
| found that can show an income O
! 500 to SIoO. These differences
are the result. more than any.

There is likely to be some
slaughtering of negroes in Tennes-
see at an early day. The young
mayor of Covington was killed by
a negro whom he and large
number of white men were
attempting to arrest. 1t was
charged that the negro was trying
to outrage a white woman. He
was in his own cabin when the
large company of white people
went to arrest him, and in self
defense he shot the mayor. Of
course the charge against the
negro is simply a trumped up
matter. The black man of the
South is not as much given to
crimes of that sort as the white
man is to outraging black women,
and yet we never hear Of white
men being strung up because of
their crime against the negro race.
during the late war the servants of
rebel soldiers watched over and
cared for the families of those
soldiers as tenderly as though
they were their own wives and
children, and protected them, and
not in a single instance is it
recorded that any white woman
was insulted by any one of these
millions of colored men. Why is
not the South honest? 1t simply
does not want the colored man to
participate in political matters and
it seeks to kill him or scare him
and thus prevent him from such
participation. Most of the
charges against the colored people
are trumped up; they have no
foundation.-Telegraph.

News Of Interest from
Washington,

Washington, d. c. May 6, 1880.
The President had some very
pleasant visitors to-day in the
persons Of the Tippecanoe Veteran
Club Of York, Pennsylvania
They were escorted to the White
House by the Pennsylvania Re-
publican association of this city.
The club presented the President
with a very handsome banner,
which he received with a few feel
ing remarks that greatly affected
the veterans of 1910, as we'll as
everybody else present. The club
has received every attention since
its arrival early this morning,
everybody seems to want to do
something for its members.
Secretary Blaine has entirely
recovered from his recent indispos-
ition and resumed his duties at the
Department of State.
Secretary Proctor left Washing
ton Saturday on a tour of inspec-
ton Of the Western Military posts.
He was accompanied bV Adiu-
tant-General Drum and Col.
Bane and the party will be joined
at Chicago by Gen. Scho6eld.
Secretary Noble has called upon
the government officials in Okla
homa to explain their connection
with the alleged fraudulent loca-
ton of town lots and homesteads,
and unless the explanations are
prompt and satisfactory there will
be a sudden falling of official
heads in the new country.
Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, stopped
here on his return from the New
York celebration and he has not
yet been able to get away. He is
being lionized, not only by a large
contingent of Ohio people in
Washington but by everybody
else; he has been twice invited to
the White House, in the evenings
and Ohio ofice-seekers are all in
the throes of great expectations"
therefrom. On Saturday Ex-Gov-
Foster of Ohio, arrived. He was
recently appointed member of
the Commission to treat with the
Sioux Indians for the purchase OF
a portion of their lands. Some
BODY asked one of this Ohio party
whether they were after any par
ticular office. He answered by
asking the inquirer if he ever saw
an Ohio man that did not want an
office.
Gov. Hovey, of Indiana, stop
ped in Washington on his way
home to pay his respects to his
old friend Gen. Harrison. Gen
Hovey is very popular here, anc
particularly SO with the old sol
diers for whom he is never tirec
