THE DAILY APPEAl-THTJRSBAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1884. MEMPHIS APPEAL. THTRSDAT, FliBKLAKY 7, BIDEOIR LAXD MOSOPOir. Since the war this country has been fulling more and more into the hands of monopolies, and monopoly is the substitution of corporate gTeed and power for the will of the i-eople. If there is one thing the country has aimed at more than another it has been that the public lands should be open to the great mass of the people, and be owned by men prospering on a moderate but sufficient amount of the soil.

But even this has been broken in upon, and monopoly is gorging itself with vast domains that had been intended to be open to the occupation of the people. Over 20,000,000 of acres of American soil are now owned by foreign landholders. We know that both Mississippi and Arkansas newspapers have repeatedly, within the last year, spoken of pirties from abroad buying up immeise tracts of laud within those States, and other States have sr-pn similar operations. Instead of lands so monopolized going to benefii our citizens, these extensive domains are likely to be filled by tenants paying an annual rent for land which is htld out of their hands by the speculators aud syndicates. This will introduce the horrors of the English temnt system, which has caused most of the: sufferings mil famines of Ireland, and Tfhich is at this moment causing thousands in England to embrace the land theory of Mr.

loorge, and to call tor the confiscation of all the lands to the country, so that people of moderate fortunes may freely oc-i-upy land clear of private landlordism, the product of its rent, to go to (he State jo that State taxation can be sWinhed.

1 tiO.lH r.o.t.1 110,1 I liVUr0 THE IllC'II-TARllK HKEAK-OOW N. The protectionists have continually and untrucly accused the tariff reformers of being led by England and corrupted by English gold, and of referring to England as the great exemplified of the free-trade system. Strange are the changes which circumstances bring about, for now we find these very protectionists constantly referring to England as the justilicr of the great break-down we see at present in this country of their high tariff. A p.vfer in this State, in referring the other day to the gre protectionist break-down, to failure ft-a sy-toiii iui mipp.irrs have always would septate the Tinted States from Eiirvlcan ffieulties, as exhibited panics anil and low iv.i-'cs, said "If free trade insures pros- pertly i the iron business, how do its friends account for the great depreo-si froM to aud at t'u" time in England; a dcpresiioa by the side of which the of the traJe in America are the bight of prosjicrity?" Exactly, if free trade undertakes to deliver manufactures from the sequences of over-credit, taiubling speculations, financial irregularitiesand other interferences with the even progress of business. But there is another way of putting the question asked in the above extract, which is this: "If protection insures prosperity to the iron business, how do its friends account for iu present depression, a depression that has not merely caused embarrassment, but has el sed up altogether a large number of iron concerns, and brought about Mich suffering that the first paragraph of the St.

Louis Age of Sit a protectionist pajier, in its issue of February 2, lsl. complains that "workjieople all over the country are having their wages reduced, and meager meals are the rule rather than the exception?" As the Al'l'KAL stated two days ago, out of the 704 pig-iron turnacesin the I nited States. JH5, having a producing capacity of tons, are doing nothing, 1 12 of which suspended last year, liut, says the protectionist, England has suspended iron concerns as well as we. This is simply a clear though unintentional acknowledgment that protection, for which this country pays so much and has giveu up its shipping trade, and reduced its silver dollars to eightv-five cents, is just as liable to the failures and other vicissi tildes cf trade as the frcctrade that gives the poor pian cheap provisions and cheap clothing, and that lightens the burden cf taxation. The present trade depression has shown the unsoundness of the whole prohibition theory, and the protectionists are reduced in their desperation to refer to England for their justification.

The very paper from which the quotation was taken said last February: "Those who long for English methods should emigrate," and this February it bbibbers out, like a whiped schoolboy does so, too. The pretense of "protecting American labor" is breaking dowu uh other parts of the system. The products the capitalists, who are favored i.y protection, sell are protected by an extravagantly high tariff, but the labor those capitalists buy is not protected at all it is imported free. The l'hil-adrlphia 'tar. says upon this point: "In certain branches of industry work-ingincn experience the fact that they arc constantly exposed to underbidding in wages by fresh importations of cheap labor from Italy and Hungary, and thir appeals to Congress and State Lcayta- arcs for protection are becoming stranger.

Workingnien can have their sha'w the pretended beneits of the iiiif system only when they are protected against importations of cheap foreign labor. Is it not easier for workingnien to compete with foreign labor on its own ground, than to have it brought free to face them in conflict in American mines and factories?" When a nia journal finds itself reduced to making such acknowledgments as these, there is no mistaking the break -down of the high-tariff plan of "protectiug American labor," yet the Tennessee paper we quote from above said, in October, 1SS2, "The ridiculous babble about the terrible oppression oi taxation on Ubor in this country proceeds from a mixture of ignorance, demagogy and sentimeutal- sui. vents arc now showing whether the oppression of labor is "sentimental-ism," and proving that the "ignorance" lies with the dupes who are misled by this Tennessee paper, and others of the sanie quality. The break-down of the high-tariff system has come, and its a i-cates are in consternation. THE TENNESSEE RIVER.

The people of Chattanooga and of Knox- ville are anxious to hold a convention for the purpose of bringing to bear upon Congress a eorrect estimate of the importance of the Tennessee river to the people of the States bordering upon it, and to a realizing sense of the necessity for the appropriation of $1,000,000 to complete the work at the Muscle Shoals. A circular from the joint committee of the manufacturers and Council of Chattanooga states the whole question clearly and forcibly as follows: "It is seventeen vears since the people ot this section, in a convention assembled at Chattanooga, asked Congress to appropriate money to open the Tennessee river. Two or more similar conventions have been held. Our river, second in size and mportance in the United States, has been treated and regarded by Congress just as has been the treatment of the goiallest and most insignificant local navigable streams in other sections of the country. Our Senators and Representatives in Congress will be our judgment, in their efforts to get Congress t3 complete the work now in progress, if in this convention the people of this valley demand that the Tennessee river be admitted in the councils of the government to its relative position and natioual importance.

The grand future of the South depends on cheap transportation of its products. The opening of this river will create a new artery of commerce, connecting the Central South with the gnat waterways of the Mississippi river and its tributaries. Waterways frtc from any tolls or tribute have proven the best 'railroad commis sion' yet discovered, lss than 51,000,000 will complete this work within a year. The present session of Congress ought to appropriate it all at once, out of the 000,000 now a surplus in um uuuuuai Treasury. Congress has already expended on tliis river nearly which is dead capital and forever lost to the American people without the appropriation of the now asked.

THE SALOON 1'RISIS. After forty years ot persistent effort amid derision and opposition, the tem perance movement is assuming impor tance and wielding an amount of influ ence it never before attained, and which must, before a long time elapses, produce substantial results. The history of the movement, with its failures, successes Maine laws and other vicissitudes, in volves much that has bten denounced as fanatical and sentimental. The strong point of the temperance people has al-wavs been that the enemies with whom they war themselves manulictured and supplied the weapons with whith the war was carried on. The columns of the daily press, with their records of crime ruin, and family miseries onused by ttrong drink, have confirmed this claim.

cry village and town and city, every police man and rriimu.il ludge, has given evi dence to the same met. Clear has been this point, those who are assailed by the temperance brigades have never attempted to defend their side of the question 1 seeking to institute methods that should, at abbreviate the list of agaiust intoxicating thai every iiowspaper, every police office, and cry criminal court biiug against it, not occasionally, but every day. "Strong drink," pleads the young pleasure-hunter at the pol ce court; "stroiig says the defaulting debtor; 'strong drink," murmurs the clerk, and the bank president, and the public olhcial accused of embezzlement; "strong drink," is the last cry of the sui cide as he rushes to his death; strong drink," is the despairing utterance of the malefactor, as he feci the platform sinking beuratn mm anu ine rope tight ening upon his throat. To all the clamor of accusing voices the retailer of strong drink has had no answer, and has not even adopted a policy wiiicu should at least dimiuish the horrid echo that goes up from ruined homes, prison bars, lunatic asylums, aud from the scaffold where the murderer meets with justice. The time is evidently at hand when the temperance cause will be so powerful that if no amelioration is made by the liitier dealers themselves, measures will be forced upon them by the gathering might of the men and women banded together against the liouor traffic.

Everywhere that cause is spreading, and its bauds gaiuiug in strength. In our own neighborhood the might of the organization is increasing. What has been done in Arkansas to en force the three-mile law the reader ha: heard of. A similar movement is becom ing prevalent in hat is going on in our own State can be judged of by the following from the Nashville Hannrr: "From all over Middle and West Tennessee come reports of the deep interest taken hy the people in the temperance movement. 1 here is more enthusiasm and interest manifested that was ever before known in Tennessee.

The temperauec peopl are early, earnestly and energetically at work, and the prospects for a successful campaign are most flattering." In view of all this, it is clearly to the interest of the decent, self-respecting saloon. keepers to adopt and urge a policy that wllV save their business from the discredit thrown upon it and themselves lrom tnc conse quences the success of theiropponents will entail. That policy is the higl license svstem in some shape. I'nder this system there would be a urvival of the httest. 1 hose who have neither character nor conscience would get no license the "doggeries" would disappear; the number of saloons would be fewer and could be kept in good order: there would be uo liquor sold to boys, to habitual drunkards, or to men already drunk.

The saloon would be a quiet spot, unstained bv the revolting scenes that are now too common; for high license would weed out the n.eii whose misconduct in their position brings disgrace upon that position and contributes to the misery and crime that excites the horror and opposition of the public. How the high-license plan should be regulated is a matter for consideration. As the rate that was just in a town might be oppressive ia a village, and below what was just iu a city, we have several times suggested the plan of dividing into districts, then allow iug so many saloons to each district, then putting the license for a given timo up at auction. In this way the saloou -keepers would practically themselves settle the rate to be paid for such license. The New York of Saturday last, apjiears to have noticed the plan proponed; it says: "Let these licenses be put up at auction, subject to forfeiture the occurrence of any case ot disorderly conduct ma licensed place.

The saloonists, looking at what the temperance people have done in Ohio and elsewhere, wiil act wisely if they promptly and earnestly give their support to a system that will rescue not only their business, but its reputation, lrom the hard straits that threaten them. What can be more senseless than the attempt to gull the American laborer ith "Protection and high wages," while we admit foreign labor yeatly by the millions to. break wages down? Shall we allow popular sham paraphrases to overcome our reason till nothing but the utter prostration of all industry can resurrect it? SPRINGER Making Investigations That, During the Presidential Canmss, Will Make the Republicans Howl He is Like a Bloodhound on the Track of Fugitive Lady Lobbyists Working- for Sweetening Against All the Odds the Whisky Men Can Muster The Leaders of Society in Full Feather. From the Kegular Correspondent of the Appeal. February2.

A prominent Congressman said yesterday that Chair man Springer was the "wrong man" to be making a howl over the big fees that were paid to special counsel in the Star-route cases. This was accompanied by the surprising statement that Springer himself was an adept in the art of presenting colossal bills for professional services. For instance, the gentleman went on to ex plain, Springer drew the bill appropriating money for the Centennial exhibition at Philadelphia. After the exhibition was over and the profits were to be divided the government pr.t in its claim for a share, but it was discovered that the bill had been so blunderingly drawn that there did not appear to be any authority for paying over the money. i.he attention of Mr.

Springer, who lad written the bill, was called to the natter. He expressed his surprise and volunteered to assist the Attorney-General in prosecuting the claim. After an ordinary legal proceas a judicid order was secured for the payment to the government of its share of the profits. It as supposed that Mr. Springer had been actuated solely by a desire to vindicate his skill as a framer of bills, but it was quickly ascertained that the Illinois statesman was a strict adher ent of the apothegm that "business is business." He had the "gall," as my informant put it, to present a bill for which anion was duly forked over to the apostle of eonomic reform, not to speak of cheek.

The story about ringer, however, is to be taken nimgrano is. It is only given as a part of the ipssip found floating around the capital. It is the Republicans who are afraid of Springer. He is a holy terror to them. He miy have the Yankee knack of being paid for what ho does, but he has the Democratic talent of unearthing Republican corrupton developed to a wonderful degree.

He isUke a bloodhound on the track of a fugitive. With the spade of investigation turns buried rascality to the sunlight of publicity. If fraud nourishes like a creen bav tree. Springer is the man to get down under it and lift it up by the roots. With his little Committee on Expenditures in the Department Justice he hrjj scarified the Republican party from head to foot.

He has shown that that department has been used as an engine of oppreision against poor people, a device for robbing those who had money, and as the pole and hook for deftly drawing cash through the crevices in the Treasury vaults. WVien Spring er is through, report win make a boK that will commemorate a series of frauds that has no paiallel under any free gov eminent. L011BV1STS. Washington is swarming with lobbyists hs the beehive swarms with bees. They are here in droves.

Every hotel register is untied wiin their names. Jhev work singly, in couples and in squads, and the time seems to have come hen one of the chief didighta of the average Congressman is to eniy the privilege ot crooking his elbow r.i company with a promoter or preveuter ol legislation, it is said the lobby now numbers more able men than it nas tor tint past six vears, and that bevy of willovy women, with special abil ities for eleetriiVine our lawmakers, havi been added to the ranks of tbe persuaders, A gentleman standing at the east door of tne nonse ol lienrvsentatives vesterdav pointed to the ladies reception-room opposite and remarked that there were at least ten ladies in waiting to see certain Congressmen on legislative topics. The apartment was certainly ahe with fe males, some of them beautiful to behold and some ugly enough to recall a night mare. Presently a spruce old Congress man came out oi tue louse, nat in hand anu nt into the reception-rooia. laee wore a look of anxious but pleasurable expectancy had the iook oi a man wno was on Ma war to feast, but whose emotion of delight some hat marred by the fear that 1 would be too late.

Iu a few moments he sailed out, bearing on his arm a fairy-like woman with ominonsly black eyes and milk-white teeth. The captivating woman leaned heavily upon the representative of the people, and the representative of the people, with a back almost as broad as an old-fashioned billiard table, seemed to stand it pretty well. As the pair disappeared down the hallway in the direction of the House restaurant the stateman's gallant bearing reminded the beholder of a frizzled rooster who had just encountered a game pullet. "That lady," said the gentleman who had kindly called attei.tion to what was going on, "belongs to the glucose lobby. She has been up here three successive days to see that particular Congressman." THE OLl t'OSE LOBBY.

"The glucose lobby? What is i iK nired the curious hearer. "The glucose lobby is a formidable organization," replied the communicative gentleman. "Glucose is as well represented here as whisky. The whisky men and the glucose men are fighting each other, and the lobbies are antagonistic. There are powerful interests engaged in the manufacture of glucose.

You see the glucose manufacturers propose to establish distilleries to make spirits out of the waste matter left after the glucose is made. If this authority is given them it will be a black eye for the whisky men, and the distillers are lighting the scheme like Mississippi sawyers. The whisky men claim that the present standard of so many gallons of spirits to a bushel of grain is the chief safeguard against fraud on the government. They say that if the government allows whisky to lie made from glucose waste this standard will be destroyed, beeatie the manufacturers can stop the extraction ol starch at any stage ol tne process of making, and thus cut undvr the standard. Therefore the whisky people are hf-hting the glucose people to the death.

The Western Distillers' Association has intluential agents here to down the glucose scheme, and the glucoe manufacturers have also sent a barrel money here, and a delegation of lobbyhts, one of hom was the entrancing teniae you saw leading the Congressman by a si ken string a few moments ago." It was further ascertained t'tat 1 ho glucose men have kept paid agens in Washington during the past two sessions to look after their matters. Tht special mission of those agents was to prevent the passing of a bill putting a tix on glucose. Senator Morgan, at the last session, introduced a bill requiring ewry package of the article to be plainly branded in two-inch letters with the word "glucose." There was also a bill putting a tax on the manufacture of the article, but both bills tailed. There is no doubt that similar legislation will bf attempted at this session, but there is the lobby to contend with, and the question will again come up as to whether Confess or the lobby is strongest. NEWS AND TUE XEWSPAPERS.

While on this subject the report that there is now a lobby in Washington representing Ub metropolitan press should not be ignered. Western and South ern Congressmen from country districts are at present reccivine printed cir culars which have been sent out bya Cin cinnati hrm jl patent msid publishers to editors of country newspapers, and by the latter inlorsed and forwarded to their Congressmen. The following is a copy of the body of circular, and explains why i. tho country editor is anxious lr.tn Si We understand from unrlituht.d authority thitta committee representing the tuet- roiHMilau is now in vt asninjrton. ensnired lobbying to the uapsajre of a taw by Con- crcM to eopyrVht news matter for forty-oight pours alter publication, the intention evidently is to legaliie a fitrantic monopoly of news, and to m.ike it unlaw lul for tbe minor newspapers and country press ti reproduce current news during the iH'riod when it has much value.

Vou will readily seo that the projected law would injure and almost destrrw the weaker newspapers of the country, and put them at the mercy of the great, oerirruwn newspapers of the large cities. This is a matter in which you and we and the general public have a deep iiteresi. Vnder the circumstances, we feel free to urge you to write immediately to your member of Congress, and to any friends you may hlTe. either in the House or Senate, acquainting them with the scope of the roposed legislation and urging them to oppose it. Your prompt action in thia matter may determine the fate of the bill.

Most of thcCongressmen to whom the circular came hatlnever heard of any such' proposed ropyrighV on news, but at least one man was foun Jwho knew of the pro ject. "I don knoiv," said he, "of any lobby lrom the met, politan press being here to work such a bill through, and I don't believe there is one, but I am sure that such a bill will be introduced. I don know who wilMather it. AVhoever it is, it is to be hoped for his sake that be has no country newspapers in his district.

I don't believR that, a simple record of current events can be copyrighted, and I am sure that no such bill will ever pass the House, until big cities furnish a majority of the Congressmen." SOCIETY. "Society" has "broke loose" at the caDi- tal in real earnest. The lady who does not receive or give teas is living in a dense social fog away out in the wilderness. The great ambition with every woman in Wash- ingiqu is to nave ner -days tor receiving.

A woman, without her "day" at the canital simply confesses herself obscure. She is as effectually buried so far as "sassiety" is concerned, as if she were to disappear and become a venerable old maid in the hog-eye settlements on the northwestern frontier of Texas. The wife of a new Congressman from Indiana, who has an elegant suite of rooms in a fashionable boardinghouse on Fourteenth street, concluded to have her "day." She put a nonce in tne society columns of the daily papers notifying the entire world that on certain "day she would receive. Her was a Triftftrlnv. That niirlit hr husband, weighed down with the burdens of state, came home and was met at the head of the stairs by his wife.

Her face beamed with ecstasy. She held in her hand a basket filled with the cards of callers. "Oh, my dear," she exclaimed, "I had such a splendid day. I had a perfect innovation." "My dear," said the sedate Congressman, "I hope you did not have an innovation; you mean you had an ovation." "Oh, my dear," ephed the matured but giddy little wife of the member from the hoop-pole district, "I thought when you had only a few callers it was an ovation, but when you had a real big snortin' crowd on your day The accuracy of this story is vouched for by a lady boarder in the same house, to overheard it. and therefore it must be true.

WEST POINT, MISS. A Thriving- Town Knilroailw and Other New Enterprise A Lead Mine. The Movement of the Land Syndirate A Street-far Company PerHonala. From the Iierular Correspondent of tht Appeal.1 est Point, February 5. Last week several days of warm, pretty weather gladdened our hearts, but swift-moving clouds obscure the rays of old Sol to-day, and gloomy rain shadows hang on our spirits.

Improvements are going on about town allee samee. A number of lamp-posts are being erected along the business portion of the streets, bad pavements have been repaired, and now a gentleman has a con tract to set out fifty forest trees and water oaks along the thoroughfares. Tho town I is rather bad off for shade, for the soil is sandy, aud in summer there is great complaint about tbe glare. People are com plaisant over the building of a railroad from here to Columbus, and the benefits accruing from such a road are eagerly discussed. It is the generally accepted belief that Mississippi has no minerals, but a story to the contrary is going the rounds, and is vouched for by an old, highly respected and successful business man of this place.

The story runs that some twenty-live or thirty years ago a man named late, a resi-dent of Chickasaw county, showed some lead ore, hich was sent to a chemist in New Orleans, and was found to contain ninety per cent, of pure lead. The people besought late id ten where no totind the ore. but in vain. He stated that it was a rich vein and his secret. 1 he voucher says it was probably Tate's intention to buy the land, but he was only a hunter, and died without possessing a loot of earth and taking the secret with him.

ine mine is in Chickasaw county, and is probably within a radius of six miles of Houston. Great will be the rejoicing of Mississip-nians when an adventuresome spirit lavs open to the world this vein of wealth. Nay, it is worth a man's while to spend a year in searching for the lost treasure. A year ago there was talk of establish ing a spoke factory in this neighborhood. The adjacent forests abound in splendid white oak and hickory trees, and there is no reason why such an enterpnse would nqt pay.

Ihe grocery and dry goods business is already as large as the county will support, and it is high time for the towns people to devote their attention to a new jieldof labor. Some newf paper has already tainted out the thousand little manufac- tuKrig interests of Atlanta as the secret of her growth and prosperity. The vrw Ku(i, formerly published at Columbus, has been moved here. It is printed by steam, and is a paper of which any town might feel proud. That makes four papers for West Point.

A committee of citizens will ere long wait upon the Appeal and the Timet-Democrat and invite them lock, stock and barrel, to take up their abode in our town. Nothing like a Dooming young town, gentlemen, and you had better come. For a month or bo the doing of the land syndicate created not the slightest ripple of interest in the hearts of Clay county men, but again the question is. "Will the land sell?" And the astute lawyers answer: "It will sell." Rumor has it that a person from New York is in Aberdeen now inspecting abstracts, etc. A street-car company is about to be in corporateti.

Letter from tea. John K. Hnlfonl. 23 Dky Stbket, N. October 8, 18SS.

For years past I have used Allcock's Porous Plasters on my person and in my family, and have found them perfect as an external remedy, quick in their action, giving immediate relief, without blistering the skin, and far superior to all others. No family should be without Allcock's Porous Plasters; their healing powers are wonderful, and their etficacy' far-reaching and lasting. When in Washington, last winter, I was induced to try another much advertised plaster for tevere pains in my back. No relief from the pain, but a sore and blistered back for a week, was the result. soon as the blisters healed I applied two of Allcock's Porous Plasters, and they gave me immediate and permanent relief.

They give additional strength and vitality to the spinal column, and they are a never failing remedy in my family for coughs, colds, sprains and all pains and weaknesses. Their use has repeatedly saved me from pneumonia. I constantly use them, and would not be without them lor any consideration. JOHN E. MULFORD.

"Who will be tbe next Republican nominee for Governor of Tennessee 7" This question was asked by a reporter of a well-known Republican of this city. "Well," he replied, "some of us want Judge Frank T. Reid to run, but it is said he has positively declined to do so." "Do the Republicans regard Judge Reid as a strong man "Well, he would come nearer defeating the Democratic nominee than perhaps any other available man." "Why has Judge Reid any objection to accept the nomination, if it is offereC to him?" "The Republicans made a mistake in not nominating Reid in the Wilson-Wright-IIawkins campaign. Reid would have accepted the nomination at that time, and I believe it ought to have been tendered to him. Iieid thinks so himself." "If Reid is not nominated, who will be?" "The Hon.

R. R. Butler." "Do you think Butler will run "I think so. You see Butler is nerson- ally popular with all political parties, and the Republican party will support him solid." "When will the County Executive Committee meet? "On the 23d instant." "Who will constitute tbe next National Republican ticket?" Arthur and Lincoln will meet the approval of the Southern Republicans." "Will Tennessee send her delegates to the Chicago convention nninstructed?" "Yes." "Who besides Butler and Judge Reid have been mentioned in connection with the Governorship?" "They say that Postmaster Jones has also been spoken of."

Tbe Uiirdfrofindge Cooper, la Mexico, Nashville we-icon. vesterdav: The American yesterdia received the following dispatch Cl'LlACAS, February 4, rin Galveston, Febru ary Judge Henry Uioner waji waylaid uud Kiuca nere to-uuy, uy loDOers. A. WARREN The news containel in this brief telegram will cause general regret and sorrow throughout the State.

Few of Tennessee's prominent men were better known than Judge Cooper, and, aside from the exten give acquaintance public life had given, he had a larire family connection. Culiacan, the point from which the dis patch is dated, is in ibe State of Sinaloa, in the western part of Mexico. About thirty-eight miles directly wst is the seaport town of Altata. Culiacatv j3 a town of 70(10 inhabitants. It is neafty built, prosperous, and one of the most iruportamt places adjoining the mining region.

Situated there is tbe mint, to which the product of the adjacent mines is sent. It is the depot from which supplies of goods. tools, quicksilver, salt, for the mines are obtained. Between Culiacan and Al tata, which is on the Gulf of California, is a railroad. Communication with the mines is by horseback and pack mules.

Adjoining Sinaloa are the States of Du-rango and Chihuahua. Iu the former are the Capalquin or Kefugio mines, and in the latter the famous Poik mines, in both of which Tennesseans are largely interested. Many Americans, Germans and people of other nationalities have settled In the countrj'. Traveling fr jm Cnlui the Pol mine is either by way of Capal quin or else in a more direct road, requir ing hve or six days to make the journey. East of Culiacan the hill country begins, gradually developing into the high, mountainous mining region.

For some distance the road is through a hot, fiat plain, and lined on each side with dense, impenetrable thickets of cactus and other tropical growth peculiar to the country, affording a perfect lurking place for the robbers. These outlaws make their scene cf operation between Culiacan and the hills, rarely getting as far distant from the city as the mountains. They have the most improved class of firearms, such as Colt's revolvers and AVinchester rifles. Unless resisted, they hardly ever use violence, and are usually satisfied with a modest amount of plunder. It was the advice of the American consul to a traveler to take or $40 in currency, and if attacked to quiet iy surrender it with the best grace possible; tiiat the bandits would almost invariably accept the amount, and allow the traveler to continne on his way without further interruption.

It was against the policy of the robbers to kill, and unless stout resistance was made, they never resorted to murder. The hand of the law is heavily against such depredators, and when caught they are almost invariably lynched or shot down with the merest formality of trial. As an instance of this swift justice, it may be mentioned that Don Juan Tappia, from whom the Polk mine was bought, and Alcalde cf of the district, caught eighteen of a gang of twenty-one and shot them all on the roadside. A week before Capt. J.

C. Fleming, of this city, arrived nt Culiacan, last summer, the stage was robbed near there, and the driver killed. The authorities were scouring the country at the time of Capt Fleming's arrival, and seemed to be doing everything in their power to bring the robbers to ustice. It will require about fifteen or twenty days for particulars to reach Nashville by mail. A letter can come by three routes--from Culiacan to Altata, overland to Guay-mas, and directly north by the Sonora railroad to Benson, on the Southern Pacific; from Altata, by steamer around the peninsula of Lower California to San Francisco, or from Culiacan overland to Parral, thence bv stage to Jimenez on the Mexican Central, and to the States.

The telegraph dispatch conveying the news of the murder probably went from Altata to the City of Mexico, and thence to Galveston. Judge Cooper arrived at the Polk mines about the first of last December, and expected to remain in the country permanently. He made the trip, on a former visit, last summer, from Culiacan to the mines, and from the mines to Parral, a distance of 500 miles, with only one attendant. There was no accident or interruption, and very little precaution was taken against possible danger from robber bands. The latest information received by Judge Cooper's friends was to the effect that his health was good, and he felt greatly encouraged at the prospects.

When Judge Cooper left Nashville last fall he carried with bim in United States exchange to pay off the debts of the Polk mine and start the mill. It is supposed that when murdered he was on his way from the nine to Culiacan, where he intended purchasing supplies. He had been delayed in making this trip on account of the prevalence of yellow-fever at Culiacan. Some of the men had gone there and died, among them a brother-in-latf of Judge Cooper, George Milner. Two niott'lis ago Judge Cooper- started for Culiacan, but met a merchant, and learning that the fever was still bad, transacted the business with him and returned to the mine.

Judge Cooper was general manager and superintendent of the Kl Cuervo Mill and Mining Company, the headquarters of which were at what is known as the Polk mine, high up in the Sierra Madre mountains in the State of Chihuahua. He must have been killed just before reaching Culiacan, either by fire from from the roadside, or else during a struggle following his resistance of the bandits demands. It is probable that he had very little cash money with him, as merchants in mar, remon prefer United States exchange, which is worth fifteen to twenty per cent, premium and is generally used in making purchases oi supplies. About ten weeks ago a letter was re ceived from Judge Cooper, stating that rich ore had teen struck at tne mine large pockets running thousands of dollars to the ton. The mills were ready to go to work stamping as soon as supplies were received.

The letter also stated that the miners had so much confidence in the outlook that they were anxious to take stock. Mr. Warren, who sent the dispatch. formerly lived in Memphis, and was in Forrest command during the war. lie has been interested in Mexican mining properties for many years.

At present he is acting superintendent of the Refugio mines at Capalquin, recently purchased tnm a ..1 1 1 1 TO 1 -1 Anoiiviiic uy jK3U J. Ait- lebrew. The Refugio mine is about two days travel south from the Polk mine and on the same lofty range. The Refugio mine was formerly owned by the Rocha family, who about ten years ago organized a campaign against the robbers in Duran-go, killed many, and rid the province ot all lawless bands. Judge Cooper, on his last trio to Mexi' co, was accompanied bv Mr.

Thos. Adams. on of Mr. A. G.

Adams, of this city. It is not known whether he was with Judge Cooper at the time of the killing. It will be fully fifteen or twenty days before details of the sad occurrence can reach Nashville by mail. On the 12th of last November. Judire Cooper, accompanied bv W.

S. Jones and Thos. Adams, of this city H. C. Jones, of riorence, anu a number ot employes ot the Polk mines, who had met the party at Parral, left that point for the mines.

BIOGRAPHICAL. Judge Cooper was a native of Mann- county, in this State. He removed from that county to the county of Bedford, where he was married in 1850, and was elected twice to the legislature from that district. During Andrew Johnson's ad ministration as Governor he wasannninted judge, and served in that capacity until 1000, wnen ne accepted a chair in the faculty of the Cumberland University, at Lebanon, i rom he removed to this city.

He was never a personal aimlicant for anv otliee, and never defeated in any canvass before the people. Ho was universally beloved and respected, and legions of friends will mourn his untimely taking oil. UNDER THE CHESTNUT BOUGHS, There' a lad to-ntfrht far out at sea Ho may never be home a sain.

Henry Chaplin, Conservative member from Lincolnshire, seconded this motion and made a violent attack upon the the government.

They suffered more than the House from the stoppage of debate, as they were thereby rendered unable to answer erroneous statements made.

Tbe House could be better informed later, and would have an ample chance to discuss the condition of affairs in Egypt, concerning which the government were anxious to make a true statement.

Parnell has announced his intention of moving an amendment to the address in reply to the Queen's speech in refeience to the recent conduct of the government's policy in Ireland.

Its tendency, he gays, has not been to tranquillize the people. He especially deplores the wanton prohibition of legal and constitutional meetings, whereby free speech has been practically quenched in Ireland. The amendment condemns the Irish executive for having permitted magistrates publicly and with perfect impunity to applaud the conduct of Lord Bos-more, who has been susperseded as a justice of the peace for disturbing public order, provoking ill-will and strife between different classes, and thereby directly inciting Irishmen to illegal acta of disorder and deeds of violence. The amendment concludes by humbly assuring her majesty 01 tile nnu convicuuu ui iua party uuu the policy of forcing or stimulating State-aided emigration of Irish people should be definitely and forthwith abandoned.
