The mass-meeting of the trades unions
which was to have been held last night, con
flicting with the Citizens' meeting- at the

the 1 aimers Union. All artisans are invited
to participate in the proceedings. Eloquent
and able gentlemen will address the meet
ing. At 8 p.m. sharp No. 34 Adams street.
Captain Stubbs, the well-known shot.
writes to the Appeal: "I take this oppor
tunity, through this valuable paper, to
thank the citizens of Memphis for their
hospitality during m visit here. I must
say that the citizens and sporting men of
Memphis are second to none in the United
States, and that the city of Memphis will
class with any city in the United States for
business, sociable people, hospitality and
pride."
Yesterday's issue of the Appeal an
nounced the union of Mr. J. V. Slusser, an
attache of the Louisville and Nashville road
here, and Miss Mattie J. Fleming, a niece of
Mr. K. McDavitt. The couple were married
at New Orleans. Yesterday afternoon Mr.
Slusser got information that one of his
children by his first wife, who have been
living in Louisville, had been poisoned bv
her. The telegram on another page gives
the particulars oi the poisoning. Mr. Slus
ser was, of course, almost heart-broken at
, the news, coming so quickly after his mar
riage. The American Newspaper Directory, just
published by G. P. Rowell & Co., is a full
and thorough directory of the publications
of the United States and Canada. It gives
the names of 11,218 newspapers and periodi
cals, with a brief description of the towns
in which they are published. It gives 372
names more than appeared in their state
ment of last year. This shows a large in
crease of publications during the past twelve
months. With the experience Rowell A Co.
have had they ought to be able to furnish a
most complete directory, and we think they
do. This work is of great value to large ad
vertisers, and is a convenience to newspaper
people generally.
The Montgomery Advertiser publishes
the following, which will be news to the
people of the Taxing-District: "A reign
of terror prevails around Memphis.
No man dare leave his family after
dark, and persons summoned before
the grand jury acknowledge they are
afraid to give evidence. All who have done
so have suffered by having their houses
burned or pillaged, stock killed, and their
lives threatened. The country is infested
with thieves and highway robbers." So far
from this beiDg the case, we can truthfully
boast that there is not a quieter cily in the
Union than Memphis, nor one where life and
property are more secure.

The Western Melhoditl made its appearance
yesterday fur the last time, and both the
Rev. W. C. Johnson and the Rev. Warner
Moore, its editors, take their leave of each
other and of their readers in affectionate
terms. Mr. Johnson, who was also the pub
lisher of the paper, in explanation of his
isuure, says:
WHY THIS CHANGE?
The history ef the Westrrm Methodist, especially
sine the fatal year 1878. before which even, it was
seriously emoarraase.1, nas oeen marked by heavy
burdens and constant struggles. Business and re
ceipts, particularly last year and this, diminish
ing and expenses continuing, the result now
reached was inevitable. But all the while the
nope or improvement was cherished, especially in
view of the return to Memphis. Therefore I
struggled still to avert failure and to achieve
success, but in vain. Altogether unable to meet
me imuuiuei ot tne omce l nave made a general
assignment for the benefit of all the creditors.
The assignee receives and will apply ail that can
be realized for the payment of the debts. It is
urged most earnestly that all who owe
anything, whatever the amount, will make
payment as soon as pos-jble. The assignee
is juoge niiuam 31. smnu, oi wis city.
Whatever the assets may fail to mv
I shall strive to provide for, though it require all
i i.ic mi, require uioe, lauor, privauou auu
sacrifice. This change to which I am conaliained
by necessity, stirs my deepest feelings and will be
profoundly regretted, I know, by many friends.
Here and now I thank one and all of them for
every kindness in thought or word ordeed through
my long term of service, and lu advance I thank
them for all the kindness they may show hereaf
ter. W noever knowa ws, in s.rt what I have en
uiirml wm sno-lv so act and sneak and think that
mv thanks will be due theui. Therefore, in these
last words through the dear old paper, I express
gratiiuue to tuem.oue ana an. wiin tne Drotner

markably pleasant relations: and to them, one and

Last Night to Discuss the State
Debt Problem.
The Eesolutions Passed Several Prom
inent Speakers A (.'ood Harmo
nious Meeting.
Last night, in accordance with the an
nouncement in the patters, the people of
Memphis assembled, irrespective of party, to
take action regarding the Slate debt. The
meeting was very harmonious, and the only
discordant element was a little gentleman
who wanted to speak all night, and who was
not in sympathy with the meetiDg.
the meeting was organized by the election
of Judge J. B. Heiskell as chairman, and
uenerai o. w. Crordon as secretary, in as
suming the chair, Judge Hehkell said:
e have met here to-night to decide how
tar we are willing to submit to the Legist
ture of the State to decide upon the settle
ment of the State debt. We made one at
tempt, by a proposition to settle at 100-3,
which was disapproved. Modesty dictates
hesitation, ll we make any settlement what
ever, the governor is to consider the propo
sition irom the bondholders, the people
had a settlement to make with the bond
holders for 10O-3. Tampering should be
rebuked by the people. Are we satisfied
rith the proposition of the bondholders?
Are we willing to let escape the opportunity
to rebuke our agents? Confidence is the tie
that binds the people to each other." He
returned thanks for the honor conferred.
Minor Meriwether moved that the mem-
bars of the press be secretaries of the meet
ing. Carried.

MB. I, X. HILL
being called on, said: ''It is not proper for
me to address yrlr). You came here to adopt
resolutions to instruct your representatives.
l am here because there is no quorum in
JNashville. i preler to lost around among
my leiiow-ciuzens wiin one eye on Nash
ville. I came to look on. My first interest
is Tennessee in my mind and heart. It
would embarrass me is pledge myself. You
will bear from me there, as you have always
aone.
THE HON. CASEY YOUNG
spoke snortiy, as loiiows: "it is more agree
able to me, safer and wiser on your part to
listen to olners who are present. t here are
many more able to counsel you than myself.
1 hesitate to give you my views; but convic
tion, firmly fastened in my mind already,
suggests the serious peril that surrounds
public questions. This question has become
bo vital, so overshadowing all others that it
is no longer a political question in Tennes
see, confined to either one or the other, but
inherent in the sense of right of the people
of this State. This is one of the most im
portant questions ever brought before you.
The party is at length united. If my own
views were sufficiently defined I could not
present ihem in such guise as would be sat
isfactory to you. There is one view, how
ever, in which I think we ail agree; that is,
that any settlement by the present Legisla
ture would be iujpjliiic in the extreme. It
would destroy public confidence. I repel
the idea that the Stale of Teuuesxee would
wantonly repudiate a single honest cent of
the Slate debt. I am aware that
there is a dread of repudiation.
But the sturdy manhood of the
State will honestly discharge it. It is, hows
ever, if the State has contracted a debt
which it should not pay, its highest duty to
repudiate any unjust debt that it may have
incurred. There is a step beyond which it
will not go. This is a people's government.
The people have decided to settle this
question and no course in opposition
to their opinion will be sustained.
Therefore, to preserve the good name of the
State, I would ure upon those at Nashville
to pause before tiiey adopt any course that
would bring upon them the condemnation of
the State."
MR. J. B. BINGHAM
said that before the resolutions were adopted
he wanted to say a few words. If the Legis
lature uitin t Know any better than to pass
such a law as it did, he hadn't have any use
for them. The governor accepted it before
he knew what it was. Mr. Bingham then
onerea the following resolution:
Resolved. That as the bondholders of Tennessee
have confessed that the pcuple of Tennessee do
not owe me aebt incurred on account of the con
strucUon of ruilroads in Tennessee, and are now
litigating before the Supreme Court to compel the
railroads lo pay them the debt they owe, all pro
ositions looking to a so-called comtiromLse of sa
State debt at this time, proceed upon the assump
tion mat no imitosiure is too moustrous lor the
popular redulity, and are as ili-timed as they are
impertinent.
He delivered a fiery address upon this
resolution, which provoked a scanty amount
ot applause. lie said that the last Legisla
ture was the most abominable that had ever
assembled, but he thought that some of the
same bricks existed in every previous Legis
lature mat was orgamzea. lie was espec
ially severe upon the railroads. He said he
would not speak long, but he did. Srvera
persons objected to his talking forever, but
he persisted. Ha was frequently and de
cidedly called upon to sit down, but he was
too uneasy in bis seat to do so.
Major Cooper raised the point of order
that Mr. Bingham was rambling along on no
particular suorcr, ana was not speaking to
me resolutions.
Mr. Biughsin contended that by reason of
the first resolution he had a right to speak
But, he said, if the crowd wanted him to sit
down be would do so. fits amendatory reeo
lution was ltid upon the table, and the main
resolutions wire then adopud. i hey were

THE RESOLUTIONS.
We. the people of the! by county, iu mass-con
vention assembled, irrespective of party, hereby
jiexuire, i nai we are optKisea to uie settlement ol
tie Male ueni on tne Dosts oi bu I a-o, because we
believe such a settlement to be unwise, impolitic
and unjust. It is unwise, bcciuse the present
Legislature has made one abortive attempt to set
tle the uebt. lnest'iuemeut tneu proposed to be
made was opposed by a very large majority of the
Tieonle of Tenressec. because, among other thines.
it was too large in its concessions to the bond
holders (the peopio, by a popular vote, having
once refused to sct-lc at &0-41, and in the face of
this patent fact, and as if afraid to trust the people.
and in vioiatiou of their known will, it is now
promised, in hot haste, to make another
mud more disadvantageoiissctllement than the one
happily defeated. It is impolitic because, tn ad
dition to the above reasons, the question ought to
be discussed before the people, and the settlement
made by repr senutives fresh from and instructed
bv the people. It is uiiiiist. because such a settle
ment is more than oogbt to be paid, and more
man tne cnnpiea inuustries oi tae Butte can near.
J2ro!rrd, That we believe the people of Tennes
see desire ho action upon ihe St.te debt by the
present Legislature; snd if it should take the ac
tion prctiosei. or any similar action, tltat thev will
reiect the same ami be swift to undo it. Public
creditors should io-k alone to public faith for the
luiniimeui- ot puuttc obligations, and in
view . of this fact it is not difficult
to forecast the consequences of another futile at
tempt at a settlement. It will still further shake
the faith of the people and the s curity of the
creditor, and may result in ultimate repudiation.
Ersolvetl, That acting upon our constitutional
right to instruct our representatives in matters
which so deeply and vitally concern ourselves and
our children, we hereby instruct our immediate
representatives in tne dcnerai Assemuiy to vote
against any sucn settlement as mat pro:.oeo. ana
to use evury honorable aud fair means to defeat it.
J.'sotv-if, That we respectfully but most solemn
ly apneal to the Gon- ral Assembly as a uo-ly, not
to pass any bill settling the State debt at 60-4o 6
or ou auv other similar bssis.
Eesolvrtl. 1 hat we earnestly request the people of
every county in the state to give public expression
that emphasis that the gravity and i-nnortance of
the situation require.
A'ciDfrerf, That a copy of theie resolutions he for
warded to the speakers of the Senate and House of
representatives, with a request thai thev be read.
to those bodies.
GENERAL U. P. M. TURNER
said he thought the people had been suf
ficiently bored tor the evening, and be would
use a very small gimlet. The general's
views on the financial question were not
sufficiently clear to settle it forever, but his
anxiety to get on the stage may be pleaded
in palliation therefor. He did not think
weli of the pre eat Legislature, and be pro
nounced the bondholders a bevy of hungry
buzzards, who wanted to fatten upon the
carcass of the State. He proposed to appeal
to Congress to pay the debt oi Tennessee. He
anted the people to stand by the skirts ot
George Washington. He wanted the Legis
lature to go home, where they belonged, and
pursue the avoc ition of splitiing rails, for
which nature had fitted them. Few
of them would ever be called from
the oblivion to which they were, entitled
to assume legislative functions again.
The members of the Logislature were the
servants of the people. If Aivin Hawkins,
surrounded by Roderick Random Butler and
the soft-shell Democrats attempted anymore
shenanagin they ought to be burned in effigy
bythepeople.
Mr. T. A. Hamilton was called upon ana
made a few remarks, after which the meet
ing adjourned.

Mru W. II Black
ee Jeasle Qala.
The above novel lawsuit was decided
bv
Enquire Fleming a few days ago in favor of
the plaintiff", and gave him a judgment ior
$217 against the defendant. The circum
stances of the case, as brought out at the
trial, were that the plaintiff and defendant
contracted a marriage engagement about the
1st of August last, soon after which the de
fendant applied to her trusting and devoted
fiance for money to pay her board and other
expenses. He responded aa liberally as his
means permitted, being a poor man, but
sober and industrious. Her applications for
money were frequent and repeated, she as
suring mm mat he was the choice ot her
heart above all others, as evinced by the fact
that she had rejected a number of suitors on
his account. These demands upon the not
too full but generous packet of the gallant
piainim were compiled wiin, ana ne noaiiy
sent her $50 to buy the bridal dress, she
promising to join him in a neighboring
State, where he was hard at work, and there
marry him and make him happy. "Oh, so
naPpy as she said. Hut soon after this she
ceased to write to him. More than two
months passed in silence, the plaintiff still
hard at work getting ready to make his ex
pected Dride happy. iut solicitude
becoming intolerable, he came to Mem
phis, to find that she had married
another man only four days after
the. date, of her last .letter to him
telling him that she would marry him "il
he still loved," etc. The plaintiff then dis-
enverea mat ne had been deliberately de
ceived and, as he expressed it, "robbed" by
the woman he had leved and trusted. And
though a delicate matter to be made public
