The KdaiunJ bill for the uppretiop of the crime of 1 jrgauiy, notwithstanding it mildness, has spread dismay among the law- breakers in Utah. The reason fur their at- taching so much importance to that measure is because of the soiiJ support it has from the great mass of the people of the UniUd States a support that carries with it the that if the Eimuods bill should fail to supprees the lewdness of the crimi- nals in Utah, still mere direc', searching and imperative measures will be adopted and put in force. Under these circumstances the cunning that mark the proceedirgs of the habitual is resorted to by the bham bishops-- , criminal elders and wily sainu to evade the just pnni.-hme- the law inflicts. They rely upon the secrecy with which their mockeries of marriage are con- ducted to save them from conviction for hav- ing more wives than the law allows or nature furnifhes women for; but they hav a wholesome fear that they may be caugtt on lh.2 clause that forbids the unlawful of men and women. To evtde the eQecls of this section the polygamies have sent the women away from their hemes, and put one with her children here and another vender, wbeie they could. As far as this goes it is obedience to law, and this obedience bhfiws how capable a clear, ex- plicit, forcible, umvadable law would be in securing absence from the crime it forbids. Hhould the law prove to be capable of enforcement the result is sure, and polygamy in Utah is at an cuj. The hone if the 1 wrong doem is that a way will be fouud of neutralzing the law; but should the I a- -') f work effectively in practie?, and grip''" it provi'ions be actively enforceA''ken te lawbreakers will abamWtbeir crimes. Many of the more fonnticsl are with- in that Bngham Young was alive, thinking rny consider the cowardly compliance of their leaders wuh the Ui'ited Stales requirements. Ther U evidence, however, that even with the aid of (hat grand br.ijjart and assamer cf authority, just what now doing would still be done, or when the" previous bill against polygamy was cperative, Young was prepared to surrender polygamy if tj exiurts had sustained and the authorities' en- forced that law. The fact is the people of the United States have been weak and vaccillat-m- g where they ehou Id have been strong and imperative in deminding, "let justice be done though the hraveits fall." It Is not the strong will of the Mormons, but the hesitating, with which they were treated that allowed them to bully and boast of victory. Let good commissioners be pat in authority in Utah, and the laws be faithfully enforced, and the dh grace the creatures there are bringing on our country will be put an end to. WIS WEtUII IS IN THE fcOIL. . A new voice has been heard in the Con- gress of the United Slates which has a strange and aaomaluus suund. fcSitce the organization of the government the deiua- - gogues of Congress have been legislating for ... the protection of manufactures, the great cjninierrial interests of the country, for the improvement of our rivers atd harbors, for the tuilding of customhouses and railroads; but the gre:t agricultural interests of the country have been sadly mglected. Seldom has a voice beea lifted in Congress to pro- mote the gnat fabric upon which all busi- ness relies for success, Lut agtiimt which all other trades combine to dtelrcy. A change has at last been made; members cf Congress bare become the champions of those who till the soil. Ii is tine that the great agricultural interest of the country needs no legislative aid, and is able lo take care of ils-.lf- , lut since monopolies have combined to injure this productive class, it is the duty of Congress to rally to its protection. The lion. George G. Ilibbrell, member of CongrtM from lire Fifth Tennessee congres- sional district, has btctinie one of the champions iu Congress for the protection of 1 hose ho whi'tle as they split rails and : ' T and his first speech shows that he is tit for the task he has undertaken and the task tit for him. We have read wits great interest and peasure General Dibbrell's recent speech in Coogress xhowicg "the needs and wants of the agri- cultural department, the injustice done this branch of industry, aud the hardships im- posed by the internal revenue laws." The speech of General Dibbrtll is an able, dis- sertation of the aubject he discusses., lie shows that the wealth of the world is the soil, and that if it needs no protection it should be fostered and shielded from unjust laws. General Dibbrell slates that for the last fiscal year the various appropriations at made by Congress amounted to $325,555,063, but of this large amount only $355,500 was appropriated to the agricultural department. For the present fiscal year Congress has $340,507,000, of which amount the greatest of all interests receives only $39tl,SS0. General Dibbrell places the value ef of all farms in the United States, as per bs reports, at $10,196,890,615; value of farm implement at f405,516,l02; live stock, $1,500,482,157; fertilisers purchased and of used in 1S79, $28,597,859; fences, cost of to building aud repairing in 1879, $77,705,723. He then argue that these figures are "suf- ficient as to show the importance of Congress caring well for this branch of industry that never seeks to have legislation done for them through the influence of rings, lobbies, is or the use of money, but have in the past acted as the hewers of wood snd drawers of water for the rest of mankind, supporting vtr"y otSer branch of iodusiiy and profes- sion; paying' enormom taxes upon every-i'ihlrj- tf fir they n.ay have to buy cither for the support of their families, cultivating their if all farms, or for the ordinary luxuries of life, the profits of which generally go to those who are backing in ease and comfort ai d to U;ow nothing . llie fcar.Mii iroiUeiit to I an agriculturi't'x YiU: "i iie rcli of Gen eral Dibbrfli i full of valuable infirm-lio- n, fehoffii-- th nra) and wanls U ll.e asr'f-l- - inni i1ir.irii.iini. la nli mti ii t the fact that farmers have nr. lobby around (Vngrew to protect their intereti and to Eld in legis- lation to aine'.orisie .heir condition, he says; Tlisme'HiapH hnv- - llutr uicrcauuie Tin- mi.tifuitoiur Wj ta e their iive! iTn wUons. ith their journals au iM- in the ini.-re-- t ranter" km to their man-- Mlure-- . the umar .ellueis Uave !tieir y;"---Hons- , ia imlrr to krep Bp ine Pce pl 1 1I7 uenl.le article to the lannrr and hi flnll.

New York TVorid: "Mahone's apologists the South have frequently represented him as having been the idol of the Confeder- ates during the war and the right-han- d of Lee. It is interesting, therefore, lo observe that Mahone regards the piom duty of keep- ing green the graves of his fellow-soldie- in Virginia as aTich a bore lhat by a joint reso- lution he has devolved the task npon a gang convicts from the State prison. The tra- ditional prejudices of a whole race are not to nprooled in a year, and there may possi- bly be a good many men, women and chil- dren I in Virginia who will not relish the idea seeing the graves ol their dead given over the care ef a gang of convicts." The want of new Democratic timber in Connecticut is giving the party some trouble the time for selecting its candidate lor governor approaches.

Oa board there were about foi ty emigrants men, women and four- teen babe children mostly from Alabams, Georgia and East Tennessee. These people are on their way to "Bonanza," Texas, to set- ter their condition. They have become tired of tbe fast wearing-ou- t lands of their old homes, and believing in the stories of their advance agents, who bad gone before, pros- pecting in different portions of Texas, they think they a new Eldorado. Tbey complain of the effective labor they put iuto their old laods every recurring year, and the less profits derived, unil they have determined to try new fields.

If they are followed they will be highly appreciated by the traveling public: First. Permit emigrant women and their clexa children to have the freedom of the boats. To cramp them np in one corner is sot wholesome, cor is it pleasant lo hear the rough conversation of masculine brutes who gather around the same stove and tell each other stories that shameless and heartless men indulge in. Second. If it Bhould cost the owners a little trouble, a little coffee, without supper, given to women nursing children, would add to the fame of their boat, if not their pack- ets. Remember, gentlemen, were your mothers, sisters or wives traveling lu the same manner, your hearts would feel light were you to hear of kind treatment to tbem. Ihird, Have a role prohibiting men from smoking in any part of tbe cabin, whether forecastle, midship, or aft, and the headaches of the lsdies, tbe coughs of tbe children, and general disagreeableness will all be avoided. Tear down, als3, the flaming cards of $1 extra for any emigrant cangbt b.'h'tnd the dead-lin- e marked by the hot stove. It is well enough for masculine brutes, but for women and children, who never steal or use rough language, it is a hardship that boats should not encourage. I'lease remind your readers, whether citi zens or emigrants this destruction being marked by the aforesaid cards that it costs fif.y cents for breakfast and supper each, and seventy-fiv- cents for dinner, and that ii they do not get a bed, which costs $2, tbey will have to ait np from 4 o'clock, the hour of departure at Memphis, until their arrival at Aladtson, t o ciock next morning.

Five Wen Handed for One Harder. Chicago, April 14. A special from Selma (Ala.) says: 'It is learned that forty masked men, largely whites, look two negroes, Henry Ivy am Sim Acoff, from the guard at Brown's Station yesterday morning and rode off with them. The lifeless body of Ivy was subsequently found hanging from the limb of a tree in tbe vicinity, bnt Acofi's body has not yet been found. The men were con- cerned in the brutal murder of an old man named Weesenger, and Ivy made a voluntary written confession of his guilt. This makes five men hung for that murder."

THE FRUIT CROP lions ihe Ohio River Eegion and in tbe orthwest Almost Entirely He- ld roj ed Encenr agin g? Eeprts from Arkansas and Tenne.'see-Th- e Ontlook Very Favorable LonUUna Sugar Crop. Tbe cold weather of the present week has, in many parts of tbe country essentially changed the character of the tidings received before the return of cold weather, and it now remains to be seen what is the amount of the injury done. Dispatches, dated April 12th, to the Louisville Courier-Journa- report as follows: Midway: Temperature 24s; ice an inch thitk; no kind of fruit escaped except, perhaps, late apples; wheat and Parley look as if scalded; rn above ground is killed; hardy vegetables wilted; loss very grest. Lexington: Heavy Iroat; frait totally de- stroyed; forward wheat and barley badly damaged. Mt Sterling: Fruit, both small and great, spoiled by frost; wheat seriously injured but not ruined; thermometer 22. Versailles: Heavy black frost; fruit ma- terially injured and peaches entirely de- stroyed ; small grain little injured a re- markable escape, for wheat was jointing and some of be barley headed out. Lagrangaa Frost has entirely destroyed the fruit crop; peacn and apple blossoms turned brown and germs kilkd; grapes and all the rest n-- wheat and corn have suffered. Jwling Green: Cold, some snow, no damage yet. Trimble county: Heavj iot; much de- struction and damage: all fruit probably gone; one man, in despair, began cut'ing down hi fruit trees. Louisiana. A business letter to a prominent Memphis firm, written by a leading sugar dealer of New Orleans, says: "Your favor sf the 29th of March was duly received, but as I have been fighting water for the pas' thirty days, I had to drop all other bus'ness. Tbis is why I have not acknowledge its receipt be-f.j- re this. 1 am glad to say that we have been victorious so far, and our Cinclare plsce is free from the watery, element. All our planters have escaped oss, with slight ex- ceptions (some losing only a few acres), and altogether we coDgraiulale ourselves that we are so fortunate, as it has been a fearful flood far worse than that of 1S71. The loss of catio to the State is large, however I think, one-thir- We bad a fair prospect of the lirgest eugar crop since the war say 300,000 hogsheads. I thick the loss by the flood will not be less than 100,000 hog-head- s. This would leave us with, scy 200,000 hogs heads. Liet year, as you know, the crop was a very short one, owing to the freeze of the previous winter, and only amounted to 115,-00-0 hogsheads. Even with the great loss by this flood, we will have a larger crop than last year by about 85,000 hog'heads. Crops pver promised better or looked finer than this spring, aid those who escaped the water will have fin9 crops. We have some 4f0 acres of cane in our Cinclare place, and (here is where we have been fighting, so success- fully. We lost our cane on our Little Sil- very place, which only amounted to 100 acre", but that was willingly sacrificed if we could save Cinclare, and we consider we have been very fortunate'. Many large planners have lost their entire cane crop. Ode place I call to mind now lest 900 acres of cane, and another 650 acres. The Teche country is nearly all gone. That eecticn suffered more than tho river places." Indiana. Indiana reports from Madison say: Heavy frost, thermometer 25; the result is a proba ble completion of the destruction of fruit in all Southeastern Iodiana. Additional close examination of bods shows that peaches, plums, cherries, early apples and pears are destroyed as a crop. Late apples, grapes, raspberries and currants sre believed to be generally safe. New Albany: Peaches, pears and cherries nearly all killed, app'es slightly ii jtired,- - s'rawberries one-thir- d to three-fo- tbs killed. Cincinnati reports say the thermometer in some parts wss trown to 20; (loud and wind are believed to have saved some of tbe peach bud; strawberries all killed; much fear for wheat which, in many places, was twenty inches high, and joinled; the situa- tion is very ucnsual. Tenacf-ws- . The Knoxville Chronic1 e learns that in many portions of Claiborne and Grainger counties, especially in Dutch, Hog Skin and Cracker Neck valleys, there is a wonderfully increased acreage of wheat sown, and it is looking remarkably we'l. The tenJenry is growing rapidly iu these sections to rabe wheat and the grasses, to the exclusion of corn, which has heretofore been the principal crop. There are plenty of peaches in ti e bill orchards in those counties, but in tie low lands tbey are killed. Chattanooga Timet: "No damage was done to the crops Tuesday nigh', the temperature having failed to reach the freezing point by several degrees. Fruit has been almost en- tirely killed along the Oliio river region and in the Northeast, and it is very likely that our fruit men will realize good profits for their products this season. They are elated over the prospect." Arnansa. Hot Springs, 12th: Present appearances indicate a large fruit crop tbis year. Many farmers are giving exclusive attention now to its cultivation. Fine Bluff Commercial, 12th : "Corn is up and many are preparing the ground for cotton. Sjnie have good stands of the staple al- ready." Oblo. ColA'MBUS, April 14. The Ohio crop re port for April is now in nres, and will be isaned earlv next week. In addition to tablt-- giving carefully condensed estimates by counties of wheat, rye, barley and old m heat and Cora cm hand, and the condition of farm stock and ihe price of furm wages, it contains a careful and comprehensive review of the wheat situation in the grest wheat exporting States, by Secretary W. J. Cnamberlaio, and of exports and the probable export demands. It shows we had $133,004000 less of wheat to export from the crop of 1S31 than from that of 1S30; that our real surplus is already more than ex- hausted; tbat what we export from now till August must be a squeezing of the sponge; that the fact that ocean steamers are paying a premium on wheat to nse as ballast shows thai tbe export stock is exhausted; that the present probabilities for winter wheat States are better than a year ago, but not so good as two years ago, and that prices are likely to remain firm, even after the harvest. Tbe secretary doesn't regard the effects of a heavy freeze as alarming, though it may diminish the general average some three or foor per cent. West Virginia and Kealaeky. Cikctknati, O , April 14. A gentleman who has just completed a tour through West Virginia and Kentucky gives an interesting report relative to the condition of winter wheat. He was on horseback a large part of the time, and far np on the Elk and head- waters of the most prominent streams, as well as in the valleys of West Virginia and through the entire central part of Kentucky, from east to wet He reports tbat wheat is looking belter and more promising than for years, and says nnless there is some draw- back hereafter the crop will be heavy; frost has not affected iu Corn is in a good state of ' forwardness. Fruits were pretty bsdly injured by the frost in some sections, but npon the whole the ontlook is fine. TE2IXESSEE XEH S.

Special Correspon1occ ol tho Appeal 1 Green vn. us Miss, April 13. The ad jonrnment the Board ol Levee Commis sioners. " session here lor tea days past, has ihe effect of making matters a trifle dull. Tr-er- e were a good many contractors, engin eers and others interested in levee work in tUKtl, Mia illCV gakfc .full mm tr4vJ same of tbe branches of local trade hotels, etc. They have now departed and the town jogs along in its wonted quiet way. There was a little cutting scrape Monday night, the only case cf personal difficulty that has come under my notice while here. A colore! man sliced a yellow woman with a barlow knife, cutting a long, but not very deep gash in her left shoulder. He is (Inder arrest awaiting trial. The health of the plsce is good, and is likely to continue so, as Mayor Alexander is i zettlotis sanitarian, and has the town as cletn as a pin. O.ie of his precautionary measures is the appointment of Dr. Dunn as imietttor of meats and vegetables made necessary by tbe miserable condition of the cattle after the overflow. No fresh meats are allowed to be offered for sale unless the ani mals from which it was taken had, before being slaughtered, paed inspection as fit for food. The colored folks had a mild jubilee last night on receipt of the news that Lynch had been seated over Chalmers. The poatoffiss here ii in the hand of Mr. Pearcc, a colored man, formerly of Liui ville, Ky., who is spoken of generally as qualified lo fill the place. The complaints I have heard as to delay in opening mails are explained by those who make them as being due to Ihe fact that the work of the office is far beyond the capacity of one man to perform to the satisfaction of the public, and as there is no provision lor clerk-hir- e for a third-clay- s office, the public interests suffer. One reason of the work being so heavy is that this is the distributing point for all the back country; a point which it is thought can be successfully used in Ihe effort to have the office raised by the department to one of the second class, which Is to be made at an early day. School facilities here are good. Rabbi Conger conducts a white school, which has a large attendance. It is supported in part by the public school iond, but mainly Irom tuition fees received from private pupils. There is also a- large and seeminzlv well- - conducted colored school, the average daily attendance at which is given at 245. A principal and three assistants are engaged all colored, salaries smalt, jou lor prin- cipal and $35 for per month. There are several Meaiphians resident here. Mayor Alexander is one, and reflects credit upon his former plsce of residence. Mr. H. G. Salziger and his two energetic step-son- s, Will L. and A. R. Frey, are also Memphians, the two latter having been born on the bluffs. Mr. Salziger bae abandoned the boot and shoe business to take np tbat of a restaurateur, in which his Memphis friends will be glad lo hear hs is doing a thriving trade, ibe r rev brothers are with him, and contribute in no email degree to tbe popularity ol tie House. The Greenville B ink is an institution of which the town is justly proud. Mr. W. A. Pel lock is president, and has the esteem and confidence of bis fellow-citizen- s, as evidence bv his appointment as commissioner to ac company Colonel Percy t) Washington to place before Congress the trua condition ot the levees of the district. He is quite a young man and will yet make his mark in world. Church-goin- g people have every facility here for gratifying a devotional desire. Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Hebrew, all are served, by ministers of ac- knowledged merit in their holy calling. It is worthy of remark that tbe Catholic con- gregation, made up slmestl wholly of Irir-h- , is pres ded over by Father F. C. Bohmardt, a German priest of recent arrival. He is however, entirely salhfaetoiy to his flock. There are two cemeteries here, in good situations and neatly kepi, while there are few costly monuments, all the graves show loving care from the friends of. those who have gone before. Secret ard benevolent societies are well represented. The Masons have one chapter and one lodge; the OJd-Fello- have a l.nJge and camp; there are three 1 'dues of Bnai Brith, and one of Knights of Pythias all reported as being in a fl lurishing condition. The jail is the best building in Ihe town architecturally attractive and apparently a strong as Newgate. There has not been an escape from it since its erection, several years ago. The social evil is not a prominent element here. An occasional fugitive from virtue flits through here on her way to Vicksburg or some f oint up the river, but the police cut the etay of the poor creature as short as possible. "There are no local dens which give any trouble. I'ostmaster Pearce reports the river mail service well performed. He has not had oc- casion to note a failure this year. Msjtir John 1). Adams is evidently complying fully with the conditions of his contract. Hotel accommodations sre somewhat lim- ited, though probably sufficient for the town under ordinary circumstances. Mr. I. Isen-b- er has a good housj, and his charges are moderate. Here assemble all the local and visiting celebrities. As with all other towns on the river from SL Louis to Vickeburg, tbe Anchor Line boats have become a prime necessity lo Greenville. Regularity of arrival and de- parture, promptness in attention lo and uniform courtesy of the officers. The City of Providence and Belle Memphis are special favorites. On the first named Clerk Prrkins, Second-Cler- k Jimmy Meena, a Mempbis boy, by theway. Steward Maxwell and Cbarley G.lha'dt, pharmacist, contrive to make the time pass very agreeably. Some planters are apprehensive that the cold weather of tbe past few days will cause the cutworm to damage the young corn, though as yet the pest has not made lis ap pearance. bunMo gnvs have given place to mos- - quitos, much to the relief of suffering live stock. The dispatch in the Appeal stating that the Levee BoarL "declined" to provide against a Juno f9e should have read "de cided" qnile a difference. The errors in this and other dispatches sent- - from Green ville are to be attributed to tbe bad condi tion of the line hence to Yicksbor;, and tbe necessity of repetition at tbat point. Ureenville has two good newspapers tbe Times, conducted by Colonel McNeely, and the Ju'tssim'ppian, managed by Captain Leng-fel- loth meet with good support and appear to give thorough satisfaction. A chemical ice factory is one of the industrial institutions of the place. Conner & Harty have a large saw mill, planing mill, and sash, door and blind factory. A gentleman Irom iroint Ltiicot, Ara., just across the river from here, says Mr. G. T. Stripling, owner of the place, will have 1200 acres seeded to cotton by next Saturday night, if tbe weather con- tinues favorable, of which there is now every probability. Better reports come from East Carroll parish. La. Planting is said to be going on there at a good rate, and with prosper' s ot a fair yield, so far as signs can now sSow. The only cases of drowning by the over- flow picked np by your reporter are those cf a negro man, on Captain Julius Lengfeld's place, and a negro girl, out beyood fctone-vill- e. Th cries of the latter for help were heard by Mr. Kline, who responded as early as possible, but tno late to save her. The bod hi of both victims to the fljod were re- covered and decently buried. 1 The overflow is now almost a thing of the past hereabouts, the iople having cead to speak of it except as an old story. These folks have plenty of nerve, with brain to match, and are not to be put down by the tantrums of Father Mississippi, thongh there were a few faint hearts when the water was at tbe top-notc- with a prospect for more. No one speaks of abandoning tbe country, nor do 1 think the disaster will have an efiect to lower the price of tillable lands anywhere within the limits of the Second levee district. J. F. Harri, a colored attorney, formerly of Memphis, is located here, and appears to have the good-wi- ll of such of the white peo- ple as I have had the pleasure of meeting. He says his practice is respectable in nutelny and remunerative financially. What are known as "levee biker-- " represented here during the meeiiui; . f the board, there being five of them on the ground. Upon these .depends the, "conif-.-r- t of the camp" so far as the preparatin-- i of the food goes, especially the baking .1 it wholesome bread, of which men engage i m such work as levee-buildi- consume large ? Quantities, a barrel of flour furnishing bread or one meal for only 100 men. The iuot prominent of those of this business here are Messrs. John Capello, Pat Keegan, M. Conway and Tom Kane. Tbeir wages are pretty good $30 to $70 per month, with board and they are jolly fellows. Contract- ors appreciate the importance of the ser- vices rendered by these "bakers" and culti- vate them accordingly. It is thought white labor will be difficult to get after the weather growf warm enough to be oppressive. It generally turns out, however, lhat men will go wherever the in- ducements of fair wages and steady emplov-me- nt are offered, and there seems to be no good reason to believe that this will be an exception to the role. Captain Arnold se- cured in August and September last all the white men he could utilize in the construc- tion of the Greenville, Columbus and Bir- mingham road worse even than levee work, for ibe reason tbat it had to be done in the thick woods, where the few breaths of fresh air attainable on the river were not to be naa.

t.trtrcT iifiii r. iidiiumj hill.The KdaiunJ bill for the uppretiop of

the crime of 1 jrgauiy, notwithstanding itmildness, has spread dismay among the law-

breakers in Utah. The reason fur their at-

taching so much importance to that measureis because of the soiiJ support it has fromthe great mass of the people of the UniUdStates a support that carries with it the

that if the Eimuods bill shouldfail to supprees the lewdness of the crimi-nals in Utah, still mere direc', searchingand imperative measures will be adoptedand put in force. Under these circumstancesthe cunning that mark the proceedirgs ofthe habitual is resorted to bythe bham bishops-- , criminal elders and wilysainu to evade the just pnni.-hme- the lawinflicts. They rely upon the secrecy withwhich their mockeries of marriage are con-

ducted to save them from conviction for hav-ing more wives than the law allows or naturefurnifhes women for; but they hava wholesome fear that they may be caugtton lh.2 clause that forbids the unlawful

of men and women. To evtdethe eQecls of this section the polygamieshave sent the women away from their hemes,and put one with her children here andanother vender, wbeie they could. As faras this goes it is obedience to law, and thisobedience bhfiws how capable a clear, ex-

plicit, forcible, umvadable law would be insecuring absence from the crime it forbids.Hhould the law prove to be capable ofenforcement the result is sure, and polygamyin Utah is at an cuj. The hone if the

1

wrong doem is that a way will be fouud ofneutralzing the law; but should the I a- -') fwork effectively in practie?, and grip''" itprovi'ions be actively enforceA''ken telawbreakers will abamWtbeir crimes.Many of the more fonnticsl are with-

in that Bngham Young was alive, thinkingrny

consider the cowardly compliance of theirleaders wuh the Ui'ited Stales requirements.Ther U evidence, however, that even withthe aid of (hat grand br.ijjart and assamercf authority, just what now doing wouldstill be done, or when the" previous billagainst polygamy was cperative, Young wasprepared to surrender polygamy if tjexiurts had sustained and the authorities' en-

forced that law. The fact is the people of theUnited States have been weak and vaccillat-m- g

where they ehou Id have been strong andimperative in deminding, "let justice bedone though the hraveits fall." It Is notthe strong will of the Mormons, but thehesitating, with which theywere treated that allowed them to bully andboast of victory. Let good commissionersbe pat in authority in Utah, and the laws befaithfully enforced, and the dh grace thecreatures there are bringing on our countrywill be put an end to.

WIS WEtUII IS IN THE fcOIL.. A new voice has been heard in the Con-

gress of the United Slates which has astrange and aaomaluus suund. fcSitce theorganization of the government the deiua- -gogues of Congress have been legislating for

... the protection of manufactures, the greatcjninierrial interests of the country, for theimprovement of our rivers atd harbors, forthe tuilding of customhouses and railroads;but the gre:t agricultural interests of thecountry have been sadly mglected. Seldomhas a voice beea lifted in Congress to pro-mote the gnat fabric upon which all busi-

ness relies for success, Lut agtiimt whichall other trades combine to dtelrcy. Achange has at last been made; members cfCongress bare become the champions ofthose who till the soil. Ii is tine that thegreat agricultural interest of the countryneeds no legislative aid, and is able lo takecare of ils-.lf- , lut since monopolies havecombined to injure this productive class, it isthe duty of Congress to rally to its protection.The lion. George G. Ilibbrell, member ofCongrtM from lire Fifth Tennessee congres-sional district, has btctinie one of thechampions iu Congress for the protection of1 hose ho whi'tle as they split rails and :'

Tand his first speech shows that he istit for the task he has undertakenand the task tit for him. We haveread wits great interest and peasureGeneral Dibbrell's recent speech in Coogressxhowicg "the needs and wants of the agri-

cultural department, the injustice done thisbranch of industry, aud the hardships im-

posed by the internal revenue laws." Thespeech of General Dibbrtll is an able, dis-

sertation of the aubject he discusses., lieshows that the wealth of the world is thesoil, and that if it needs no protection itshould be fostered and shielded from unjustlaws. General Dibbrell slates that for thelast fiscal year the various appropriations

atmade by Congress amounted to $325,555,063,

but of this large amount only $355,500 wasappropriated to the agricultural department.For the present fiscal year Congress has

$340,507,000, of which amountthe greatest of all interests receives only$39tl,SS0. General Dibbrell places the value efof all farms in the United States, as per

bsreports, at $10,196,890,615; value of farmimplement at f405,516,l02; live stock,$1,500,482,157; fertilisers purchased and of

used in 1S79, $28,597,859; fences, cost of to

building aud repairing in 1879, $77,705,723.

He then argue that these figures are "suf-

ficientas

to show the importance of Congresscaring well for this branch of industry thatnever seeks to have legislation done forthem through the influence of rings, lobbies, isor the use of money, but have in the pastacted as the hewers of wood snd drawers of

The New York Tribune is sobered andfrightened at the Western municipal elec-tions. It summarizes the resnlts in thefollowing striking, forcible manner: TheDemocrats have carried Cincinnati. TheDeaioerats have carried Cleveland. TheDemocrats have carried Columbus. TheDemccrats have carried Toledo. The Demo-crats have carried Dayton. The Democratshave carried Chicago. The Democrats havecarried Milwaukee. The Democrats havecarried Indianapolis. The Democrats havecarried Dubuque. The Democrats have car-ried Minneapolis.

New York TVorid: "Mahone's apologiststhe South have frequently represented

him as having been the idol of the Confeder-ates during the war and the right-han- d ofLee. It is interesting, therefore, lo observethat Mahone regards the piom duty of keep-ing green the graves of his fellow-soldie- inVirginia as aTich a bore lhat by a joint reso-lution he has devolved the task npon a gang

convicts from the State prison. The tra-ditional prejudices of a whole race are not to

nprooled in a year, and there may possi-bly be a good many men, women and chil-dren

I

in Virginia who will not relish the ideaseeing the graves ol their dead given overthe care ef a gang of convicts."The want of new Democratic timber in

Connecticut is giving the party some troublethe time for selecting its candidate lor

governor approaches. Elton'sname was brought forward some lime sgo,and more recently Ingersollnod Hubbard have been mentioned. But it

doubtful if the party cares to repeat itsexperience ol two years- - sgo, when it ran

English. !'. M. Waller, ofNew London, has some friends who areurging Uu claims" The Harliori FaU, how-

ever, brings forward a brand-ne- candidatethe Democracy in the person of or

Sumner, of that city. It think thatthe Democrats want "to make a canvass at

lively the parly must drop iu ancientssnd honorables and taka dp a man withmore blood than water in his veins in order

provoke any enthusiasm."

ready, April 12. The Rene Macready leftMemphis port promptly at 4 o'clock, therule tharp no rheumatics need applyafter hours. The Rene left with about 100people, all told, or as near as my observingoptics could gaess. Oa board there wereabout foi ty emigrants men, women and four-

teen babe children mostly from Alabams,Georgia and East Tennessee. These peopleare on their way to "Bonanza," Texas, to set-

ter their condition. They have become tiredof tbe fast wearing-ou- t lands of their oldhomes, and believing in the stories of theiradvance agents, who bad gone before, pros-

pecting in different portions of Texas, theythink they a new Eldorado. Tbeycomplain of the effective labor they putiuto their old laods every recurringyear, and the less profits derived, unilthey have determined to try new fields.They also stated that a large number of peo-

ple had gone ahead of them, and that thisfall, when tbe crops already sown have beenreaped, others of their neighbors would fol-

low. Tne emigrants are of tbe intelligentclass of f irmers, and ihey seem to know wellwhereof they talk. Sherman will get a goodnumber of these westward aspirants, andthat section of estate can bj. proud h

settlers rn to bs:vggestion or two to the owners of the

bals now plying beten Mempbis andMadison may not be out of place. If theyare followed they will be highly appreciatedby the traveling public:

First. Permit emigrant women and theirclexa children to have the freedom of theboats. To cramp them np in one corner issot wholesome, cor is it pleasant lo hear therough conversation of masculine brutes whogather around the same stove and tell eachother stories that shameless and heartlessmen indulge in.

Second. If it Bhould cost the owners alittle trouble, a little coffee, without supper,given to women nursing children, would addto the fame of their boat, if not their pack-ets. Remember, gentlemen, were yourmothers, sisters or wives traveling lu thesame manner, your hearts would feel lightwere you to hear of kind treatment to tbem.

Ihird, Have a role prohibiting men fromsmoking in any part of tbe cabin, whetherforecastle, midship, or aft, and the headachesof the lsdies, tbe coughs of tbe children, andgeneral disagreeableness will all be avoided.Tear down, als3, the flaming cards of $1extra for any emigrant cangbt b.'h'tnd thedead-lin- e marked by the hot stove. It iswell enough for masculine brutes, but forwomen and children, who never steal or userough language, it is a hardship that boatsshould not encourage.

I'lease remind your readers, whether citizens or emigrants this destruction beingmarked by the aforesaid cards that it costsfif.y cents for breakfast and supper each, andseventy-fiv- cents for dinner, and that ii theydo not get a bed, which costs $2, tbey willhave to ait np from 4 o'clock, the hour ofdeparture at Memphis, until their arrival atAladtson, t o ciock next morning.

Tbe cold weather of the present week has,in many parts of tbe country essentiallychanged the character of the tidings receivedbefore the return of cold weather, and it nowremains to be seen what is the amount of theinjury done. Dispatches, dated April 12th,to the Louisville Courier-Journa- report asfollows: Midway: Temperature 24s; ice aninch thitk; no kind of fruit escaped except,perhaps, late apples; wheat and Parley lookas if scalded; rn above ground is killed;hardy vegetables wilted; loss very grest.Lexington: Heavy Iroat; frait totally de-

stroyed; forward wheat and barley badlydamaged. Mt Sterling: Fruit, both smalland great, spoiled by frost; wheat seriouslyinjured but not ruined; thermometer 22.Versailles: Heavy black frost; fruit ma-

terially injured and peaches entirely de-

stroyed ; small grain little injured a re-

markable escape, for wheat was jointing andsome of be barley headed out. LagrangaaFrost has entirely destroyed the fruit crop;peacn and apple blossoms turned brown andgerms kilkd; grapes and all the rest n--

wheat and corn have suffered. JwlingGreen: Cold, some snow, no damage yet.Trimble county: Heavj iot; much de-

struction and damage: all fruit probablygone; one man, in despair, began cut'ingdown hi fruit trees.

Louisiana.A business letter to a prominent Memphis

firm, written by a leading sugar dealer ofNew Orleans, says: "Your favor sf the 29thof March was duly received, but as I havebeen fighting water for the pas' thirty days,I had to drop all other bus'ness. Tbis iswhy I have not acknowledge its receipt be-f.j- re

this. 1 am glad to say that we havebeen victorious so far, and our Cinclare plsceis free from the watery, element. All ourplanters have escaped oss, with slight ex-

ceptions (some losing only a few acres), andaltogether we coDgraiulale ourselves that weare so fortunate, as it has been a fearfulflood far worse than that of 1S71. The lossof catio to the State is large, however Ithink, one-thir- We bad a fair prospect ofthe lirgest eugar crop since the war say300,000 hogsheads. I thick the loss by theflood will not be less than 100,000 hog-head- s.

This would leave us with, scy 200,000 hogsheads. Liet year, as you know, the crop wasa very short one, owing to the freeze of theprevious winter, and only amounted to 115,-00-0

hogsheads. Even with the great loss bythis flood, we will have a larger crop thanlast year by about 85,000 hog'heads. Cropspver promised better or looked finer thanthis spring, aid those who escaped the waterwill have fin9 crops. We have some 4f0acres of cane in our Cinclare place, and (hereis where we have been fighting, so success-fully. We lost our cane on our Little Sil-

very place, which only amounted to 100

acre", but that was willingly sacrificed if wecould save Cinclare, and we consider wehave been very fortunate'. Many largeplanners have lost their entire cane crop.Ode place I call to mind now lest 900 acresof cane, and another 650 acres. The Techecountry is nearly all gone. That eecticnsuffered more than tho river places."

Indiana.Indiana reports from Madison say: Heavy

frost, thermometer 25; the result is a probable completion of the destruction of fruit inall Southeastern Iodiana. Additional closeexamination of bods shows that peaches,plums, cherries, early apples and pears aredestroyed as a crop. Late apples, grapes,raspberries and currants sre believed to begenerally safe. New Albany: Peaches,pears and cherries nearly all killed, app'esslightly ii jtired,- - s'rawberries one-thir- d tothree-fo- tbs killed.

Cincinnati reports say the thermometer insome parts wss trown to 20; (loud andwind are believed to have saved some of tbepeach bud; strawberries all killed; muchfear for wheat which, in many places, wastwenty inches high, and joinled; the situa-tion is very ucnsual.

Tenacf-ws- .

The Knoxville Chronic1 e learns that inmany portions of Claiborne and Graingercounties, especially in Dutch, Hog Skin andCracker Neck valleys, there is a wonderfullyincreased acreage of wheat sown, and it islooking remarkably we'l. The tenJenry isgrowing rapidly iu these sections to rabewheat and the grasses, to the exclusion of

corn, which has heretofore been the principalcrop. There are plenty of peaches in ti ebill orchards in those counties, but in tielow lands tbey are killed.

Chattanooga Timet: "No damage was doneto the crops Tuesday nigh', the temperaturehaving failed to reach the freezing point byseveral degrees. Fruit has been almost en-

tirely killed along the Oliio river region andin the Northeast, and it is very likely thatour fruit men will realize good profits fortheir products this season. They are elatedover the prospect."

Arnansa.Hot Springs, 12th: Present appearances

indicate a large fruit crop tbis year. Manyfarmers are giving exclusive attention nowto its cultivation.

ColA'MBUS, April 14. The Ohio crop report for April is now in nres, and will beisaned earlv next week. In addition totablt-- giving carefully condensed estimatesby counties of wheat, rye, barley and oldm heat and Cora cm hand, and the conditionof farm stock and ihe price of furm wages,it contains a careful and comprehensivereview of the wheat situation in thegrest wheat exporting States, by SecretaryW. J. Cnamberlaio, and of exports and theprobable export demands. It shows we had$133,004000 less of wheat to export from thecrop of 1S31 than from that of 1S30; thatour real surplus is already more than ex-hausted; tbat what we export from now tillAugust must be a squeezing of the sponge;that the fact that ocean steamers are payinga premium on wheat to nse as ballastshows thai tbe export stock is exhausted; thatthe present probabilities for winter wheatStates are better than a year ago, but not sogood as two years ago, and that prices arelikely to remain firm, even after the harvest.Tbe secretary doesn't regard the effects of aheavy freeze as alarming, though it maydiminish the general average some three orfoor per cent.

Special Correspon1occ ol tho Appeal 1

Green vn.us Miss, April 13. The ad

jonrnment the Board ol Levee Commissioners. " session here lor tea days past,has ihe effect of making matters a trifle dull.Tr-er- e were a good many contractors, engineers and others interested in levee work intUKtl, Mia illCV gakfc .full mm tr4vJsame of tbe branches of local trade hotels,etc. They have now departed and the townjogs along in its wonted quiet way.

There was a little cutting scrape Mondaynight, the only case cf personal difficultythat has come under my notice while here. Acolore! man sliced a yellow woman with abarlow knife, cutting a long, but not verydeep gash in her left shoulder. He is (Inderarrest awaiting trial.

The health of the plsce is good, and islikely to continue so, as Mayor Alexanderis i zettlotis sanitarian, and has the town ascletn as a pin. O.ie of his precautionarymeasures is the appointment of Dr. Dunn asimietttor of meats and vegetables madenecessary by tbe miserable condition of thecattle after the overflow. No fresh meats areallowed to be offered for sale unless the animals from which it was taken had, beforebeing slaughtered, paed inspection as fitfor food.

The colored folks had a mild jubilee lastnight on receipt of the news that Lynch hadbeen seated over Chalmers.

The poatoffiss here ii in the hand of Mr.Pearcc, a colored man, formerly of Liuiville, Ky., who is spoken of generally asqualified lo fill the place. The complaintsI have heard as to delay in opening mailsare explained by those who make them asbeing due to Ihe fact that the work of theoffice is far beyond the capacity of one manto perform to the satisfaction of the public,and as there is no provision lor clerk-hir- e

for a third-clay- s office, the public interestssuffer. One reason of the work being soheavy is that this is the distributing pointfor all the back country; a point which it isthought can be successfully used in Ihe effortto have the office raised by the departmentto one of the second class, which Is to bemade at an early day.

School facilities here are good. RabbiConger conducts a white school, which has alarge attendance. It is supported in part bythe public school iond, but mainly Iromtuition fees received from private pupils.There is also a- large and seeminzlv well- -conducted colored school, the average dailyattendance at which is given at 245. Aprincipal and three assistants are engaged

all colored, salaries smalt, jou lor prin-cipal and $35 for per month.

There are several Meaiphians residenthere. Mayor Alexander is one, and reflectscredit upon his former plsce of residence.Mr. H. G. Salziger and his two energeticstep-son- s, Will L. and A. R. Frey, are alsoMemphians, the two latter having been bornon the bluffs. Mr. Salziger bae abandonedthe boot and shoe business to take np tbatof a restaurateur, in which his Memphisfriends will be glad lo hear hs is doing athriving trade, ibe r rev brothers are withhim, and contribute in no email degree totbe popularity ol tie House.

The Greenville B ink is an institution ofwhich the town is justly proud. Mr. W. A.Pel lock is president, and has the esteem andconfidence of bis fellow-citizen- s, as evidencebv his appointment as commissioner to accompany Colonel Percy t) Washington toplace before Congress the trua condition otthe levees of the district. He is quitea young man and will yet make his mark in

world.Church-goin- g people have every facility

here for gratifying a devotional desire.Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic,Hebrew, all are served, by ministers of ac-knowledged merit in their holy calling. Itis worthy of remark that tbe Catholic con-gregation, made up slmestl wholly of Irir-h-,

is pres ded over by Father F. C. Bohmardt,a German priest of recent arrival. He ishowever, entirely salhfaetoiy to his flock.

There are two cemeteries here, in goodsituations and neatly kepi, while there arefew costly monuments, all the graves showloving care from the friends of. those whohave gone before.

Secret ard benevolent societies are wellrepresented. The Masons have one chapterand one lodge; the OJd-Fello- have a l.nJgeand camp; there are three 1 'dues of BnaiBrith, and one of Knights of Pythias allreported as being in a fl lurishing condition.

The jail is the best building in Ihe townarchitecturally attractive and apparently astrong as Newgate. There has not been anescape from it since its erection, severalyears ago.

The social evil is not a prominent elementhere. An occasional fugitive from virtueflits through here on her way to Vicksburgor some foint up the river, but the policecut the etay of the poor creature as short aspossible. "There are no local dens whichgive any trouble.

I'ostmaster Pearce reports the river mailservice well performed. He has not had oc-

casion to note a failure this year. MsjtirJohn 1). Adams is evidently complying fullywith the conditions of his contract.

Hotel accommodations sre somewhat lim-ited, though probably sufficient for the townunder ordinary circumstances. Mr. I. Isen-b- er

has a good housj, and his charges aremoderate. Here assemble all the local andvisiting celebrities.

As with all other towns on the river fromSL Louis to Vickeburg, tbe Anchor Lineboats have become a prime necessity loGreenville. Regularity of arrival and de-parture, promptness in attention loand uniform courtesy of the officers. TheCity of Providence and Belle Memphis arespecial favorites. On the first named ClerkPrrkins, Second-Cler- k Jimmy Meena, aMempbis boy, by theway. Steward Maxwelland Cbarley G.lha'dt, pharmacist, contriveto make the time pass very agreeably.

Some planters are apprehensive that thecold weather of tbe past few days will causethe cutworm to damage the young corn,though as yet the pest has not made lis appearance.

bunMo gnvs have given place to mos- -quitos, much to the relief of suffering livestock.

The dispatch in the Appeal stating thatthe Levee BoarL "declined" to provideagainst a Juno f9e should have read "decided" qnile a difference. The errors inthis and other dispatches sent- - from Greenville are to be attributed to tbe bad condition of the line hence to Yicksbor;, and tbenecessity of repetition at tbat point.

Ureenville has two good newspapers tbeTimes, conducted by Colonel McNeely, andthe Ju'tssim'ppian, managed by Captain Leng-fel-

loth meet with good support andappear to give thorough satisfaction. Achemical ice factory is one of the industrialinstitutions of the place. Conner & Hartyhave a large saw mill, planing mill, andsash, door and blind factory.

A gentleman Irom iroint Ltiicot, Ara., justacross the river from here, says Mr. G. T.Stripling, owner of the place, will have1200 acres seeded to cotton by nextSaturday night, if tbe weather con-

tinues favorable, of which there is now everyprobability.

Better reports come from East Carrollparish. La. Planting is said to be going onthere at a good rate, and with prosper' s ot afair yield, so far as signs can now sSow.

The only cases of drowning by the over-flow picked np by your reporter are those cfa negro man, on Captain Julius Lengfeld'splace, and a negro girl, out beyood fctone-vill- e.

Th cries of the latter for help wereheard by Mr. Kline, who responded as earlyas possible, but tno late to save her. Thebod hi of both victims to the fljod were re-

covered and decently buried. 1

The overflow is now almost a thing of the

past hereabouts, the iople having cead tospeak of it except as an old story. Thesefolks have plenty of nerve, with brain tomatch, and are not to be put down by thetantrums of Father Mississippi, thongh therewere a few faint hearts when the water wasat tbe top-notc- with a prospect for more.No one speaks of abandoning tbe country,nor do 1 think the disaster will have anefiect to lower the price of tillable landsanywhere within the limits of the Secondlevee district.

J. F. Harri, a colored attorney, formerlyof Memphis, is located here, and appears tohave the good-wi- ll of such of the white peo-ple as I have had the pleasure of meeting.He says his practice is respectable in nutelnyand remunerative financially.

What are known as "levee biker-- "represented here during the meeiiui; . f

the board, there being five of them on theground. Upon these .depends the, "conif-.-r- t

of the camp" so far as the preparatin-- i ofthe food goes, especially the baking .1 itwholesome bread, of which men engage i msuch work as levee-buildi- consume large

?Quantities, a barrel of flour furnishing breador one meal for only 100 men. The

iuot prominent of those of this businesshere are Messrs. John Capello, Pat Keegan,M. Conway and Tom Kane. Tbeir wagesare pretty good $30 to $70 per month, withboard and they are jolly fellows. Contract-ors appreciate the importance of the ser-vices rendered by these "bakers" and culti-vate them accordingly.

It is thought white labor will be difficultto get after the weather growf warm enoughto be oppressive. It generally turns out,however, lhat men will go wherever the in-ducements of fair wages and steady emplov-me- nt

are offered, and there seems to be nogood reason to believe that this will be anexception to the role. Captain Arnold se-

cured in August and September last all thewhite men he could utilize in the construc-tion of the Greenville, Columbus and Bir-mingham road worse even than levee work,for ibe reason tbat it had to be done in thethick woods, where the few breaths of freshair attainable on the river were not to benaa.
