THE IXCBEAHE OF HOI'TIIEHS
POH'EK.
It is plain to he. seen that the increase of
population in the southern States by immi
gration will greatly increase the strength of
the south in the counsels of the nation. The
south and west will control the future desti
nies of the country. The New Orleans Dem
ocrat argues that Arkansas, Texas, Missis
sippi and Tennessee hare all received a large
number o emigrants. The proportion of
these coming from northern States is nnpre
cedentedly large. The report of the com
missioner of agriculture of the State of Ten
nessee shows that in this State ninety-nine
out of one hundred emigrants are from the
north and west; in Mississippi all the new
comers are from northern States, while in
Texas, although there is a large number of
settlers from North Carolina, Georgia, and
the older southern States, the western emi
grants far outnumber them. This change in
the direction of interstate emigration prom
ises to produce most important results.
It must give the south an increase of rep
resentation in congress; it must stamp out
more effectually sectional animosities; it must,
with the wealth of labor it brings, create
new wealth in the south, and with it new
powers and industries. Among the results
which it has been predicted that this emigra
tion would bring about, but which have not
occurred, is a change in southern politics.
The westerners, many of them Republicans,
who settled in the south have not had the
slightest effect on the Democracy of these
States. All white persons that is, all white
settlers who come to the south to work,
not to get office instantly become Demo
crats, whatever their former opinions maybe.
The result of this emigration, therefore, has
been to increase, instead of diminish the
Democratic majority of those southern States
that have received this wealth of emigration.
THE JETTIES ASD TRADE.
Everywhere the effect of the success of the
jetties is attracting attention, and eastern
ports fear that much of their commerce will
Lo attracted to the gulf. The New York
Bulletin says: "Our western and eoutbern
incaui are runnnrg mw -- y
subject of river improvements. The success
c f E&ds's jetties in deepening the Mississippi
Las suggested to them the idea of still fur
ther utilizing; that riyer, and projects are also
on foot for improving the navigation of the
Illinois, and even the Missouri. The Nev
Orleans cotton exchange has addressed a let
ter to Captain Eads warmly indorsing his new
proposition to close the crevasses of the
Mississippi and raise the present levees some
feet, so tbafall the flood-waters of the riv
er shall be retained. To accomplish this a
bill has been introduced providing that
the captain be appointed president of a
commission of five engineers by the Presi
dent of the United States. Referring to the
trade of New Orleans, it is a noteworthy fact
that though no regular line of steamships
exists in that port, the exportation of Brain
thence from September 1st to March 1st of
the present year was three million four hun
dred and two thousand bushels, against nine
hundred and seventy-nine thousand bushels
a year ago. These facts attract much atten
tion in that quarter, and are occasioning some
controversy in the local papers. Captain
Eads predicts that, with an improved river,
grain will be carried from St. Louis to New
Orleans for three cents per bushel; but cap
italists engaged in grain transportation de
cline to admit that such low rates will ever
be reached. On the upper Mississippi, also,
the question of bringing grain down the river
is agitated.
A tXITKD DEMOCRACY,
We have received several communications
discussing the elections in August, but as
they do not breathe the proper spirit of con
ciliation, we have declined to publish them.
This is no time for throwing firebrands into
the Democratic party, and the Appeal will
not lend itself to such a purpose. The Dem
ocratic executive committee for Shelby will
meet in council on the eighth of April, and
this body, composed as it is of tho best men
of the party, will, no doubt, be governed by
patriotic motives, and act with great caution
and wisdom. The columns of the Appeal
are open to a free discussion of the beet
means to secure success, but are closed to at
tacks upon individuals on account of former
divisions. No good Democrat will keep alive
exasperation engendered by past divisions.
Conciliation is the duty of the hour. The
time for abating feuds and healing divisions
has come, and this can only be done by rec
ognizing as Democrats those who have for
merly worked for the redemption
of the south from Radical rule,
and who - propose to vote with
the Democratic party in the approaching
elections. Let us forget former quarrels, and
avoid criminations and recriminations as to
who caused them. With this feeling per
vading the Democracy of Shelby county, we
have the harbinger of a reunited party, the
casting aside of party jealousies, and the
burial of past bickerings and animosities. In
order to perfect the much desired unity, it
only remains for the Democratic masses to
rebuke all advances made to them by any
one in the selfish interest of any particular
person, no matter who he may be. Persons
are nothing; the party is everything. Per
sons are mere instrumentalities used by the
party to apply its principles and its measures
to government and its administration. When
they undertake, through following, to ma
nipulate caucuses and conventions, and se
cure a personal advantage or advancement
that the party, on its own motion, acting
freely, would not accord them, they seek
to make the party subservient to
personalty, and, therefore, of little virtue
and worth. The Democracy, united and
uotrammeled, never fails to single out and
reward those who by services hare earned,
and by talent and integrity are fit for public
station. With a united party in Shelby
county there can be no mistake about the
remit. It will be as clear and brilliant as a
noonday's sun. No matter what the tactics
or actions of the opposition party may be,
they must go down before the might and
majetty of a people they have so much and 1
wrongfully abused. With harmony absolute
ly restored, the Democratic party will be
triumphant by the force of reason, truth
and justice. " '
We call attention to an admirable letter
from State-SuperintcrEPtrTrousdale, ad
dressed particularly to Messrs. Edgington,
Folkes and Townsend,vor our board of edu
cation. These gentlemen were, at a late
meeting of the board, appointed a committee
to investigate whether or not our schools were
receiving the revenues to which they are en
titled by law. They made a careful and
comprehensive report, and the board, in
obedience to their recommendations, ap
pointed a committee, consisting of these gen
tlemen, together with the chairman of" the
finance committee and the president of the
board, to memorialize the county court, in
order that the county tax for school purposes
may be increased to the limit authorized by
law. Previous to the action of our board of
education, we were informed that it was the
purpose of lion. G. P. Foute, county super
intendent of public instruction, to present a
memorial to the county court, petitioning
that body to raise the present tax for school
purposes to the legal limit, or to add such a
tax as would enable him to carry on the
schools for five months the session prescribed
by the same act which he is unable to do
with the present school fund. We commend
both of these memorials to the most earnest
and careful attention of our honorable county
court, and hope that the result of their de
liberations may be to supply to the children
of our county and city educational facilities
which are now enjoyed by a majority of the
tounties of the State. Wo are advised that
sixty-two of the ninety counties in the State
have already acted on this important
matter, and in many of the coun
ties the tax is laid at twenty-five and
even thirty cents. It is right and proper that
all bodies should be economical in laying tax
es, but it is worse than the poorest economy
to curtail in any respect the tax for school
purposes. The children of the county and
city are growing space, and cannot afford to
lose a single advantage which will fit them
for lives of usefulness. No short-sighted
principle, therefore, should actuate anybody
when provision is to be made for the noble
and sacred purpose of educating the children
of the county. We desire, then, to see Shelby
county in the lead in this matter, as it is in
population, wealth and political importance,
and with this view we desire again to urge
upon the members of the county court to
grant the petition of these gentlemen, in the
firm belief that they will not only be acting in
strict accordance with the school law, butwill
be doing a benefit for the children of the
whole county, whose value will be returned
cent for cent for every dollar expended.
DOES THE EARTH BEYOLVE?

Setted by a Publle
Discussion.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Richmond, "Va., March 24. Last Sunday
I telegraphed about Rev. John Jasper's ser
mon on the "Solar System." .Jasper, who is
a leading colored Baptist preacher, about
sixty-six years of age, proved to his own sat
isfaction and that of his flock, which numbers
two thousand, that the sun moves around the
earth, and that the earth stands still. His
argument was based solely on the bible, and
as tor the philosophers, he would burn them
op. To-night Rev. Daniel Draper, of the
colored Third street Methodist church,
preached a lengthy discourse, in which he
replied fiercely to Jasper's position. He is an
educated negro, and firm in the belief that
uio nutii Ab&mn. hi nroil-
ment being made np from the scientists of the
uopermcan school. I he church was packed,
many white men being in the crowd; but the
fun of it is that on next Sunday afternoon,
Jasper and Draper will debate the question
at iesne among them on the old circus-lot, in
the upper part of the city. A lively time
may be expected. There is a great deal of
jealousy between the two parsons and their
congregations, and not only will there be a
clashing of words on that occasion, but fights
of a physical character are confidently looked
for by the vimlant colice. Jasner is hicrhlv
exasperated that the colored citizens in the
city don't agree with his theory, which he
says is the only one that the bible warrants;
for, says Jasper, "haven't I taught all these
nigger preachers all they know about the
Lord's gospel? And now they are setting
themselves up as Knowing more than 1 do!
Jasper is an uneducated darky, and was
raised in a tobacco-factory. He boasts that
the bible is the only book he reads, and that
he has spiritual inspiration in a remarkable
degree.
THE MODERN DON QUIXOTE.
Montgomery Blair's Great Battle for
the Presidency.
Special to tha Cincinnati Enquirer.
Baltimore, March 23. Hon. E. Mont-
Simery Blair's scheme to unseat President
ayes by the aid of the United States su
preme court excites great interest here and
elsewhere, judging from the inquiries on the
subject from various parts of the country
south, west, east ard north. The action of
the legislative committee on federal relations
in squelching his late famous memorial is not
considered as a parallel case with the present
scheme, as it is believed that, had Mr. Blair
first proposed his present measure, it would
have been favorably received. The fact that
a majority of the judiciary committee yes
terday agreed to report favorably on his reso
tion excited a lively interest among the mem
bers of the senate and house at Annapolis to
day, and the caucus of Democrats on Mon
day is looked forward to with an interest
akin to excitement. Mr. Blair is reported as
having said that a bill is now being prepared
by an able constitutional lawyer, which will
soon be introduced Ha congress. It will pro
vide machinery for the supreme court to reg
ulate the matter and reopen the Louisiana
and Florida fraudulent returns. Important
developments, he said, are now beincr made
in the Louisiana vote. The passage of the
resolution to direct the attorney-general to
file the necessary exhibit in the supreme court.
by tho Maryland legislature, will, he thinks,
be the entering wedge that will bring about
the necessary congressional action, securing
to the people their constitutional rights in
connection with the Presidential contest. Mr.
Blair says he has received numerous letters
from leading Democrats all over the country
indorsing his course, and he evidently intends
to fight out the matter with all the ability of
which he is possessed. He thinks the legis
latures of other State6 will follow the action
of Maryland, if the latter approves his scheme
to attempt to unseat Mr. Hayes.
A Home-Wad Telephone.
Detroit Free Press : I noticed a recipe for
making a cheap telephone, given by Prof.
Barrett in a recent lecture on that instru
ment. In making his instrument von use a
bar magnet, and have to go to considerable
trouble, for all of which you can only talk a
distance of about a hundred yards. Now I
can give a recipe much more simple, and
when the instrument is finished, you can con
verse at a distance of nearly five nundred
yards. Take two half-gallon (or quart) tin
fruit-cans, and take the bottoms out of them.
jnow take a couple of half cigar boxes, take
down the lids, and cut a hole through the
bottom and lid of each, so vou can fit in vonr
cans, first bringing the ends level with the
u ui uuuum. nuw Bircica wes rawniae,
parchment or bladder over the other end, and
tie tight, and let it dry, and your speaking
tubes are finished. Now take two-ply of
shoe-thread and wax it well, making it as
long as you wish it. Punch a hole in the
center of the parchment head, poke the end
oi tne string tnrougn, and put a knot on it
to keep it from pulling back. Then put up
your string like a telegraph wire, but don't
let it touch wood. Where you wish to bud-
port it, or make a turn, run it throutrh a loon
of the same kind of string it is, but don't
put the supporting loops closer together than
is necessary to keep it up, and leave the string 1
pretty loose, to allow for contraction when
wet. Fasten up your speaking tubes at each
end ot the route, and you are ready to gabble I
away. You can bore large eimlet holes in
your window-sash to run the line out through,
keeping it from touching the sash with a loop
as described. The signal-call is to drum on
the parchment end of the can with your
fingers, or better pick the string like a harp
about a foot from the head. They are very
useful and interesting. J. n. huston.
THE CONDEMNED PBIEST.
A Brief Biography of the Early JLIfe
or Stasias Pltttsrla, Vnder Sen
tence of Death for the Kill
las: of Isaac Jaquette.
Philadelphia Times: Blasius Pistorius,
priest and prisoner, sat yesterday in the dock
of the new" courthouse. Since July 24. 1875,
when Isaac Jaquette met his death, Blasius
Pistorius has been in jail, charged with mur
der. Since December 21, 187-5, when a jury
in the Norristown courthouse announced
their verdict, he has been a convicted felon.
Since May 8, 1876, the hangman's noose has
been hanging almost over nis head, for it
was then when sentence of death was passed
noon him. Since that time the supreme
court has ordered that Blasius Pistorius shall
be tried anew, and in order that he might not
suffer from the popular prejudice which was
said to exist against him in the county of
Montgomery, a change of venue was granted,
and the prisoner was brought to this city for
trial. The trial began yesterday. The once
condemned priest has a determined look
about his face, and when he smiles
he clinches his teeth and his gray
eyes glitter. Three years of confine
ment have not blanched his cheeks, and
his frame is unshrunken. His hair is
gray and scant, his mouth inclined to the
sensual, and all his features are strong and
prominent. To settle what among some is a
doubtful question is he a fully accredited
priest of the Catholic church? it is neces
sary to take a few lines from the earlier pages
of his hitherto unpublished life. Blasius
Pistorius was one of the most brilliant of
that portion oi the German priesthood which
was most pronounced in active opposition to
the early and severe policy of Bismarck. He
is an accomplished linguist. During the time
when all Germany was brawlinir. and imme
diately after the. attempted assassination of
the great German chancellor, ristonus re
ceived information that led him to believe
that Bismarck proposed punishing him se
verely for his too active opposition to his
plans.
riSTORITJS COMES TO AMERICA.
The priest just about that time received a
letter trom America, in which he was given
to understand that in the western part of the
United btates he could probably obtain the
pastorate of a church. He sailed for thi3
country, and at once paid a visit to his broth
er, John Pistorius, who was a tenant on the
Scott farm, on Stony creek, in Montgomery
county, a short distance above JNornstown.
It was after he had been with his brother for
a few weeks that Isaac Jaquette met his
death. The story of the killing varies as it
falls from the lips of the prosecuting officers
or the prisoner s counsel, the farms of John
Pistorias and Isaac Jaquette adjoined each
other, btony creek being the disputed bound
ary line, and there had long been a difficulty
between the two farmers, owing to the fre
quent trespassing, as John Pistorius termed
it, of Jaquette 8 cows upon the former's
premises when the latter brought them to
drink at the creek. On the twenty-fourth of
July, when Harry Mulock, a boy, brought
the cows to water, Blasius Pistorius, who
had heard of the trespassing from his broth
er, standing on the opposite bank with a pis
tol in his hand, pointed the weapon at the
lad, as he says, to scare him. The boy ran
away and brought Jaquette, who spoke an
grily to lilasius fistonus.who, in reply.pointed
the weapon toward him and said, "1 shoot."
Jaquette crossed the stream, picked up two
stones, and said, "If you shoot, I'll bring
you off that bank." Jaquette then walked
up the steep bank and dropped the stones
Blasius Pistorius allowed the hand holding
the pistol to fall by his side. Jaquette walked
within a tew teet ot mm, and what subse
quently transpired is differently related by
different witnesses. J. he commonwealth al
lege a deliberate shooting by Blasius Pistori
us. The defense claim that Jaquette at
tempted to seize the pistol hanging by the
priest's side, and in the slight scuffle that en
sued, the weapon, which is a self-cocking af
fair, was accidentally discharged. Jaquette
was a large, burly German, and one of the
most prominent men in an influential granger
organization in Montgomery county. His
funeral was the talk of the county around,
for there were miles of carriages. The feel
ing against Pistorius was intense, but in his
first trial he was denied the change of venue
that has been granted him this time. His
brother John, who in some way was supposed
to be mixed up in the killing, was also in
dicted lor tne murder, and wm tried and ac
quitted.
THE TRIAL BEGINS.
In the new courthouse vesterdav Judee
Mitchell presided. District-Attorney Hagert
ana uisinct-Attorney Apple, ot iNornstown,
represented the commonwealth. For the
prisoner appeared a formidable array of coun
sel, consisting of Colonel James Boyd, the
Nestor of the Montgomery county bar; Geo.
W. Rogers, Esq., also of Norristown, and
Colonel William B. Mann and Walter Rex,
rsq., ot Philadelphia, Stephen b. Remak,
the prisoner's former counsel, was present,
but he took little part in the proceedings.
Among the audience was the ex-priest, John
W. Gerdemann. It took the entire morning
session to obtain a jury, but before the trial
was formally opened one of the prisoner's
counsel asked him to change his plea of "not
gnilty" to one of "truilty of manslaughter."
"No," replied Pistorious, "I am an innocent
man, and 1 will stand a trial, even though it
results in a sentence of death." District-Attorney
Apple opened for the commonwealth with
a brief history of the case, and after examin
ing the three doctors who had attended
Jaquette, the boy, Harry Muloch, was. called
to the witness stand. He was positive that
when Jaquette walked up the bank of the
stream Pistorius pointed the pistol at him.
Jaquette threw up his left hand, to ward it
oft, when Pistorius threw the hand contain
ing the weapon out of his reach, and then
bringing it around and down fired deliber
ately. Jaquette, he says, did not lay a hand
upon him. Before court adjourned Mr. Ha
gert produced and read the ante-morievt
statement ot Isaac Jacquette. This document
was not produced by Mr. uotwaJtz, the then
district-attorney of Montgomery county, on
the previous trial, and the defense did not
know of its existence until the argument for
a new trial was made. In it Jaquette, after
telling of the difficulty, says: "I threw down
the stones and went to him, and attempted
to take the pistol out of his hand; he gave it
a whirl, and shot me right under my hand,
stnd I fell." Court then adjourned until this
morning.

A Queer Character Bun Down in the
Forests stud Canebrakes of
Tennessee.
Special Correspondence cf the Chicago Tribune. ;
Nashville. March 17. "He has been
running wild," said an officer, as he made
his appearance in the jail office of this county
at low twelve last night, having in custody a
queer-looking man with one side of his face
tilled with duckshot. and his iaw swelled to
four times its original size, from a buckshot
haying entered near his mouth, ranged
around his jaw-bone and passed down in
close proximity to his jugular vein.
"Wild!" exclaimed the man of fifty win
ters, looking at the officer, with a terrible
scowl rlarkpmnc his already disfieured face.
"Say a free rover, will you?" he growled
"as don t ask no man any noauB a man as
goes where he pleases, and roams the woods
ttnu IlclUB at ilia uwu Dnrou mi.
The man was certainly a very odd character,
He was so thoroughly rasrsred that his cloth
ing seemed as though it would part company
with him on the slightest pretext. But he
was not only ragged he was, beside, very
dirty. His unkempt hair hung in queer knots
and twiuts about his shoulders, while his
beard reached down below his waist, as if it
eventually proposed making a connection
with his worn-out shoes. His features wore
a wild, hatarard. desperate look, and he
scanned the faces of all about him with a
contemptuous leer.
"This is George Morgan," said the officer,
as if in response to my look of inquiry.
"This is 'Wild George' of the Sulphur Creek
Hills, in the twenty-third district, in which,
as lie has already said, he has 'roamed at his
own sweet will.' On the eighth of this
month he waylaid Joseph Uurand, an honest,
hard-working farmer. Taking a lot of rails,
he built them uo trianirular-fauhion. and cov
ered them over with brush. It was a sort of
pen, with a small outlet in the rear. As Du
rand was walking by the ambush on the day
mentioned, he heard a pistol go 'bang!' and,
looking around, saw Wild George's head just
above the ambush, which until now he had
failed to observe. - One look at the Hid
eous features and the ambush was sufficient.
Wild George had already brought the
weapon to bear upon him for the second
tirde, and he hastened out of the way, to be
followed by two bullets, which sped in
alarm ins? proximity to his head. Wild
Georore at once abandoned his fortifications.
and took to the woods and canebrakes to
avoid arrest. I have been shadowing him
for over a week, and though I have constant
ly been within speaking distance of him, he
has suddenly vanished, and went where I
know not. How iie did so remains a mystery
which 1 cannot fathom. And, stranger still
to relate, he has but one good leg, which he
used to the best advantage. Wild George
was a convict. He had been sentenced for
ten years for murder. Of this term he had
worked out seven years. While laboring on
the Cincinnati Southern railway, in the
mountain wilds ot ,ast lennessee, he had
his leg broken, and it was amputated below
the knee. He was subsequently released,
and, returning', to this county, has been a
nuisance ever since."
"What grudge has he against Durand?'' I
asked.
As to the matter of that, he explains it
himself. He told me, after his capture to-day,
that he did it because Durand had, two years
aero Accused him of havinsr set fire to his
woods; and on that account he had intended
to kill him. Wild George has six scratches
on his revolver, which, he says, represents
six men whom he intends to kill, and whom
he would have slain if he had been left at
liberty.
''This man never carried any concealed
weapons 0 no, not he! He lugs a revolver
around as a hunter does a shot-pouch, by a
strap over his shoulders. You ought to have
seen with what wonderful facility he used it
when I and Albert Durand (son of Joseph
Durand) and W. A. Cook met with him and
told him to halt. But he didn't halt. In
stead, he kept on hobbling toward ns. When
he reached within fifteen yards of us, he
whipped out the revolver as quick as a lightning-flash
and opened a rapid fire, skinning
the bark from the tree behind which we had
momentarily taken shelter. The fire was re
turned, and he was wounded as you see.
But I reckon it ain't mortal, for you can't
kill such a man as that. . He wouldn't die
nnder any sort of circumstances. He has got
the nine lives ot a cat. i ou see how coolly
he let the doctor cut that buckshot out of his
arm. He don't mind it any more than a flea'
bite."
"How has Wild Georee made out to sus
tain himself since he was, as a convict, set
at liberty?" I asked, breaking into Sam
Green's testimony of that outcast's hold on
existence.
"You hit him a center shot," returned
Green. "He has just 'made out' to live by
loafing, lying around loose, and preying upon
everybody else. He wouldn't work. As be
tween work and starvation, he would choose
the latter. He has gone around trom neigh
bor to neighbor, and thev have fed and
clothed him. He had the sympathy of the
people until he ambushed eld man Durand,
though nobody cared much to have him
around, lie am t the sort ot a person to
whom anyone would form a very strong at
tachment. And how do you reckon that
creature carries his provisions ? You couldn't
guess it in an hour."
"And yet that is a point upon which I
would like to be informed, 1 responded.
"Why between his skin and his shirt.
When we took him in out of the wet to-day,
he had a great big hunk of fat bacon and a
big pone of corn-bread. He threw them
away. He said that, inasmuch as we had
determined to take care of him, he might as
well 'unload himself and give the hogs a
chance at it.' His shirt ain't greasy much
of course not. Well, sir, in daylight he looks
as though he had been used to swab out a
Pennsylvania oil-weil, and hadn't left a bit of
oil tor the blasted speculators to quarrel
about. That shirt would illuminate a house
for a year."
Mr. Green's description of Wild George
waa not at all an exaggerated picture. Wild
George is one of the queerest looking objects
that man ever gazed upon.
Turning to Wild George, I asked him how
he came to fire into the trio when he knew
the odds were against him.
"I thought," said he, "that they were all
that old man's sons, and that they intended
to make monstrous short work of me. They
were armed with a shotgun apiece, and I had
only a revolver. I just thought as I had to
go out of the world, I'd just take one along
with me. There ain't many men as won't
fight for life, and that's what I was fighting
for. I was bound to shoot, you see. I was
on the defensive; the chances were all against
me, and I was bound to make the best of a
bad situation.
"How did you get hurt on the Cincinnati
Southern railway?"
"A tunnel caved in, and the rock fell on
my leg and broke it. A pardon had already
been issued, but it didn't come to me in time
to keep me out of the accident."
"And you have been lying out ever since?"
"Yes; that's my privilege. If I want to
make a hermit of myself, to wander through
wild, out-of-the-way places, that's my busi
ness, and I don't ask any favors of nobody,
and nobody particular asks any of me, and
thus I get even with the world."
Having said this, Wild Georcre was re
moved to a cell to think over the events of
that day. don.
It is wonderful to realize the new princi
ple, Dr. J. H. M'Lean's cough and lung-healing
globules. As the globule comes in con
tact with the juices in the mouth, a gas
generates, which soothes and heals any sore
ness in the throat or lungs, stops ceughini;
