Maj. Bcbke has resigned aa director
general of the few Orleans Exposition.
All the arrangements for tbe Louisville
races to commence to-day have been com
pleted, and everything points to tbe largest
and most enthusiastic meeting ever held
there.
Tukbe was another delightful day at the
Olympic Park yesterday, where the races
were much enjoysd by a large numlcr of
people, among whom many ladies were
conspicuous. To-day's programme is a
very attractive one, and ought to draw the
largest attendance! yet seen there.
Tils victory of the "Chicks" will not be
nncttenaed with rejjret when it is recalled
that the company they defeated at New
Orleans is the one that was so conspicu
ously friendly to them on that disas
trously hot day in Mobile. No true man
ever courts or covets a victory at the ex
pense of his friends. The Houston Light
Guards have our sympathies. But then
they do noto home empty-handed. They
have the Mobile laurels fairly won.
The Chickasaw Guards have redeemed
themselves on the firet occasion offering
after their failure at Mobile. They drilled
superbly yesterday at New Orleans, and it
is generally conceded lull carry oil" the
i5rst prize. This will be very gratifying
news, not only to their immediate friends
but to all classes of the people of the city.
This victory reinstates the ' Chicks" in the
very enviable position they have occupied
for so many yeara aa the beat drilled in
fantry company in the Uuited States, for
they secure it over the company that was
victorious at Mobile.
Ths backbone of the Kiel rebellion is
broken and the noted half-bree J is a fugi
tive. Gen. Middleton was successful at
Battouche, and there now remains for the
Canadian government the work Of par
doning the mUguidid rebels and doing
justice by them so as to prevent their
becos-ing rebels again. These poor peo
ple should have their propprty restored to
them and guarantees ought to be given
tLi that in the future they will be amply
-protend in all that they have. If Premier
MacDontd shall do this he will earn abso
lution for u.kzy of his sins.
Oca esteemed contemporary, the Chat
tanooga Timet, lashes itself into a fury
over old Joe Brown's speech on divorce
.before the EapiisU' convention (X Au
gusta, Ga., last week. Under the influ
ence of old Joe's oratory the convention did
adopt his resolution, but later in the even
ing, after the members had time to think,
they made haste to reconsider their vote
And lay the Brown resolution on the ta
ble. Even a Baptist convention cannot
afford to brand decent men and women
with living in open adultery because they
iiave married aain after being divorced
for cause. Old Joe was at upon, and de
servedly.
Taa Mormons may, as they aes3rt .iu
their petition to the President, have good
ground for complaint, and may be able to
make a case against the officials who are
enforcing the Edmunds law, bnt they will
never be able to persuade the people of
the cr'untry that they dtserve any sympa
thy so ii1!? as the infamous system of
polygamy is ji."ticed and encouraged. It
is a crime sgaindt the spirit of the age,
and is odious and repugcaut as a relic of
religious systems away from pinch the
civilized world has long since grown. Po
lygamy must go. It cannot live in these
United States.
Br all edda the most important event of
yesterday for Memphis was the drivinz of
the last spike in the Holly Springs rail
7oaL Of the interesting proceedings had
on the occasion, a full report will be found
in another column. They wore participated
in by some of our beat people and were
pervaded by a becoming enthniasm. The
result of this cnickly-completed work
oaght to be a large increase in our cotton
receipts next year, and sales of dry goods
and groceries correspond, and a growing
trade thereafter. We congratulate the
tontractora on the i.-y with which
thsy havo prosecvited the wo.: and the
manner iu which they have actoujj.Iiihed
it. Now "on to Selma" &nd eventually to
PensacoU.
The disgraceful affair near Selma, Ala.)
of which oarcorresponJent gives the par
ticulars in a lengthy special else where pub
lished, is much to be deplored. There
must be Bnce weakness in the laws or their
enforcement in a place where men are com
pelled to arm to maintain their right to
peace and security. That tho attempt by
a ngro to outrage a white woman should
be punished with death eeems to be the
first cbuse of tbe unwritten code that is
deemed eeaectiil to the security of white
women, but, eren if that concession i3
made, it ought to bo an easy matter for
the sheriff of a county to take order
for the gaiety of "life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness." There must De eome
t'iin wrorg in Chilton county, something
radically wrocg, that ought to Le immedi
ately eet nht. The law must be enforced.
It mint be salens if there is to be a real
and lasting peaco.
I'fcu'! confl'ct yesterday between the po
'.ice ana 3 large body of the workmen cf
London in t De regretted, because it ii
one of itany t?ch occurences within the
past year. Such conaicts are to be avoid
ed, if possible, because the suppression of
meetings by force may 'ead to disastrous
confeijaences. It ha often been
ipredieted that some day the great
metropolis of the world would, like Para,
be given over to a mob, and that dyna
mite and petroleum would in a few hours
effect the ruin ever whkh Macaulay's
Australian U to muse. If ever that day
comes it wiii bo She result of these at
tempts by the Loudon police to smother
popular expression. Mae.mcetin3 are
the safety-valves of communities, and so
long as they do not lead to infractions of
the law fchould te encouraged and net
prevented. Suppression cf the popular
will nieauii suppression of a great furce,
that when it does riud vent, like nature's
powers seeking outlet, will work mischief.
The presentation yesterday by the Amer
ican residents of IVris of a copy of the
Bartholdi statue, coon to be erected in
New York harbor, to the French people,
was a notable event, and it Li to be hoped
will strengthen the bonds thai have bound
the two natioi s together ever since this
va called into existence. Ko Aniercan
worthy of the name can ever forget the aid
and assistaCB France lent the struggling
colonies In mCu an'l materia', as well as
by its prompt reccgC'1'011 ' t5lfi "ew na
tion. A friend in need is a
friend indeed. Franca was ftat friend
in '76, and in these later cVrJ's she
makes the continuation oi that tru.z.1
ship plain by setting up a statue of
liberty in our finest harbor, a atatne that ,
rivals the monnmental iKviathans thai in '
the i.gvp!ian ceteris which liie Ki:entsen-

New Orleans, May 13. Two compa
nies drilled to-day in the leading infantry
contest the Chicks and the Houston
Light Guards. The balance and the artil
lery drill to-morrow. We are not iikly to
knew results before Friday afternoon. The
Chicks were great favorites. A number of
Memphis gentlemen were at the camp
just before the drill. They and the mem
bers of the company were happy and
hopeful. When the drill commenced, at
3 o'clock in the atternoon, Capt Carnea
was feeling well, and all the members of
the old team except Wat Ciapp and Tom
Wright were ready. The company
marched on the drill ground with tbe
hearty applause of the large crowd. They
got through with the programme in one
hour. Every movement was applauded.
No company errors were made, bnt there
were a number of individual errors. At
the conclusion everyone felt certain that
the Chicks were winners.
The Houston company then came on,
drilled in excellent style and in about the
came-time as the Chicks. They were en
thusiastically applauded.
The Zwesville Guards, who were to
drill next, had withdrawn.
The Mobile and Louisville companies
will drill to-morrow.
Tae opinion now prevailing may be de
cribe 1 in a few words. The friends of the
.thicks are confident. The followers of
the Houston company are very hopeful.
The errors of the lieutenant of the Hons
lona are likely to lose first place for that
company.

New Orleans, May 13. The second
day of the Exposition interstate drill
opened with the inspection of rural com
panies. The St. Mary Volunteers was the
only entry, the Iberia Guards having
withdrawn. Then followed the inspection
of first-class companies, in the following
order: Chickasa Guards, Houston Light
Guards, Janesviiie Guards, Company F,
Louisville Legion ; Mobile Rifles and Sa
vannah Cadets. The drilling waa begun
at 1 :30 o'clock p.m. by the St. Mary Vol
unteers. They made a fair showing,
the first of the crack compa
nies to appear on the drill-ground
was the Cnickasaw Guards, who were
greeted warmly by the large crowd pres
ent Their drill was almost perfect, with
the exception of some individual errors.
In stacking arms one stack fell, and dur
ing the execution of one of the double
quick orders two men slipped and fell, but
resumed their places immediately. Their
drill lasted fifty-five minutes, and they left
the neii amid great applause. They were

were the losing of distance and individual
tardiness on the part of several members
in the manual, and the slipping and fall

position again. They went throntjh the
ovolution of the drill programme in fifty
ni'iutes, and lifter being drawn np in line
before the grand stand, left the ground
amid tremendous applause. The Janes

Wateb Valley, May 13. The twen
tieth annual session of the Mississippi
Press Association convened here to-day at
12 o'clock with eighty members present,
representing fifty-seven papers. The meet
ing was held in the spacious court-room,
which had been beautifully and artistical
ly decorated for the occasion by the ladies.
The association was called to order by the
president, the Hon. J. J. Shannon, of the
Meridian Mercury, and the session opened
with prayer by the Key, H. M. kfydea-
Strieker, pastor of the Presbyterian church
here.
Capt W. A. Herring, the mayor, in a
cordial, chaste and eloquent addrees wel
comed the press. This address was re
plete with interest to all the visitor to the
city, wherein it showed the wondrous
growth, public spirit, enterprise and sur
prising material wealth of the place, of
which the State at large has heretofore been
comparatively in ignorance. He showed the
place to riva', if it does not excel, any
town in the State in the various industrial
pursuits, with manufacturing enterprises
new to many parts of the South, while it
is deprived of the local advantages of iron
and coal, that the first cast plow factory
was established here before they bad a
railroad faiily established Now foundries
and machine shops make iron and steel
plows, hollow war-?, cotton gins, planta
tion and mill machinery, aud steam en
gines; that here the cotton-mills convert
into yarn 1-00 bales of cotton annually;
that the railroad shops here furnish hun
dreds of milea of track wi h locomotives
and cars and repairs to machinery ; that
the rst locomotive built in Mississippi
was built here in 1S7S, since when over
forty locomotives have been built, not
only for this line, but for other lines iu
the State and for other States; this, to,
without the immigration of capitalists or
money from abroad, but by local capital
and the strong arms and nerves of its in
domitable citizens, who now number over
4000. He showed the city to have made
equal progress in intellectual culture,
showing that there exists here the best
and most efficient system of public schools
that can be found in the State, for both
races, there being a school of some 400
scholars in prosperous organization and
conduct The pres by general verdict,
bears testimony to the intelligence, cult
ore and generous hospitality of the good
citizens of Water Valley.
Mr. J. H. Anderson, of the Kosciusko
Star, on behalf of the cress, responded to
the welcome in a speech eloquent and
beautiful in diction and in terms appro
priate. The secretary, J. K. Almon, of tbe West
Point iVeiff Era, was at his post and called
the roll and collected the annual dues.
President Shannon then delivered his
address, reviewing the workincs, growth
and usefulness of the association from its
organization,and making many wholesome
suggestions as to the proper mode of con
ducting a newspaper.
There were presented and read invita
tions to visit the State University at Ox
ford, the World's Exposition and tbe va
rious public places of interest in this city,
all of which were accepted, and the asso
ciation will leave here in a bodv Friday
morning for Oxford, thence at 4 o'clock on
same day for New Orleans.
The annual literary programme of the
press will be carried out to-night. To
morrow night the association will be enter
tained by the citizens at a grand banquet.
A telegram was received and read from
Senator Walthall acknowledging the receipt
of an invitation to be present and express
ing his regrets at his inability to arti-nd.
E. H. Henry, of the Jackson .Suite Ltdger,
from the Memorial Committee, presented,
in feeling and appropriate terms resolu
tions commemorative of Henry Moos and
J. D. Burke, deceased members of the as
sociation, which were unanimously adopt
ed and ordered spread on the minutes.
Sundry business matters were transacted,

TSPECIAL TO THE APPEAL. J
Sklma, May 13. Considerable trouble
and excitement is railing near Dixie, in
Chilton county, a few miles north of this
city. The nniortunate matter was precip
itated by the lieudish conduct ot Sam
Atchison, a young negro, who attacked
and brutally outraged Mrs. Nelsler, in the
neighborhood of Dixie, a few days ago. A
band of armed white men went to the
house of the rapist and ordered him to go
belora tbe outraeed ladv to be identified.
Sam relused to go, barricaded himself in
bio oua aDQ armed himself with a shot
miT h' snally bullied the white men,
numbering twenty, iw artueu, suu or
dered them .0 march be.CT. and in ttiat
way went to Mrs. Neisler's nousfl. ne
bold negro ecoundrel told Mrs. Nelsler 1:
sneBaid he was the gmlty one uhe lied ana
he would kill her. She was frightt-ned
and aaid he was not tLe xrailr v man. When
the rapist was gone she said tUht boyund
nuestion be was the same negro wno as
saulted her. A second a'tempt was made
to arrest Atchison, a warrant of arrest
having been issued, hut ho m4un gioa nis
escape, hotly pursued by a large nuoicw-r
of white men. Scipio Atchisou, faiher f
the negro rapist, .wi re vengeance snair.9t
all who had taxen part in the effort to
bring his son to just puniBhn-;nt.
He continued to make ihrecta tr pevfr.ii
days, saying: "Ihe d d rebs ha 1 beUer
keen cool and save their Ecaip?." The
country is thicklv settled bv laboring men
of both racss, who rind proti atiie emply-
meut at the saw-n.iila and ptttilif coau.-u
worke. On Saturday evening oi last weei

day night gunshots and seveauis were heard
in a ewampia t:.e ni iirhborhood oi til

and on the banks cf A creek in a forefet,
near his on house, Scipio Atchison wes
found a ghaailv corpse. Tne body waa
horribly riddled with buckshot. This ex
plained the pound of tao guupliota and
screams heard in the for. st Saturday night.
The whole country, tx'er.diig over a
radius of twenty n)i"'i-.-, w la aroused. It
is estimated that fu ly 300 white men,
armed and reaoluto, ga' hered in the
neighborhood of the coaling woiks Satur
day night, comics from the country miles
around. Two other negrocR, sympathizers
with Sam and Scipio Atnbisiiii, are both
missing. It is whiapertd with some as
surance among the settiers that Steve Sul
livan, one of the sympathizers, was also
killed Saturday night, nut the body has
not been found. Tom Ward, a'so colored,
is missing, nnd his whereabouts are b' ill
unknown. Who it was tbat killea Scipio
Atchison will probably never be known
definitely. The exciting events that fol
lowed andjaroused the white mea are no
matter of surprise. Southern and North
ern white men are armed, and together
have sworn death to negroes who dare in

Staai immediately had an interview with
Earl Granville. It is said that Russia ac
cepts the convention.
condie Stephens's report.
Condie Stephens, the bearer of dispatches
from Sir Peter Lumsden to the govern
ment, eays: The British Commission
started for Tirpnl directly after the Penj
deh battle. Reaching the Parapanisue
mountains a terrific snow-storm rendered
progress alow. Many camp followers were
lost. The defeated Afghans retreated by
another route via Maruchak and Bala-
Murghab. The Penjdeh Valley is a most
fertile oasis and a lovely country with
splendid pasture lands. In spring time
the ground is literally carpeted with flow
ers. Dr. Aitcheson, the botanical expert,
waa delighted. He made a valuable col
lection of flowers. The valley abounds in
game. The Murghab abounds in water
fowl, and the bills are stocked with ga
zelle, antelope, wild sheep and pigs. The
Afghans were always kind and attentive
to the wants ot the commission, and did
their utmost to provide them with food
and comtorta, though the task was a diffi
cult one, the country being uninhabited.
Ihe party saw ruins of numerous ancient
towns. When Mr. StephenB left the com
mission all the members of it were in good
health and spirita.

Later Dliipatcneii from Gen. liomarotiT
AteicaruiMK tne renjaea AB.ir.
St. Peteibceo. May 13. Gen. Koma-
rofl's latest dispatches regarding the col
lision between the Russians and Afghans
near Penjdeh reiterate with fuller details
his earlier accounts of the affair. He says
the A'ghans sent a taunting message to the
KussianB. declaring tbat they would
thrash the Russians as they had thrashed
the English." Tbe Afghans, Gen. Koma
roif again insists, fired the first shots, and
bo were responsible for bringing on the
engagement. Gen. Komarotf sayg he
learned Irom prisoners who were captured
in the battle that the Afghan leaders had
ordered the Sariks to furnish a contin
gent of 1000 men to the Afghan army.
The time which had been allowed the
Sariks to determine whether they would
comply with this order expired on the
very day the battle occurred, and an
avowal from them was expected by the
Afghans on that day. The effect produced
bv the Russian Buccesa on the minds of
the neighboring people was bo great that,
directly after the battle, the Sarik and Er
sarik Turcomans offered their allegiance
to Russia. A few days after the battle,
nan.ely, on the 7th of April, Gen. Koma
roff says he wrote to Taib Salar, the Af
ghan commander at Penjdeh, that he had
no further animosities against the Afghans.

A gentleman of experience in agricult

cotton-seeds with vegetablea. The worm
will attack the cotton-plant in preference
to any other species of vegetable, which
would afford protection until the cab

in 18S4: six or eight otbe s" ere in pr c'-ts
of organisation. The first club, the Sr.
Mark's, was eptablishod in- Philadelphia
fifteen years ago, and bas bad 2000 mem
bers. aiS il.ii lOnoe ior good upon the
workingmen of Philadelphia and vicinity
is nniversa ly acknowledged.
liiSy rungmen's clubs and institutes
reprtii at this congress are societies
composed of worki guiou associated with
out regard to trade, occupation, or relig
ious distinction ior purposes of social in
tercourse, mental and moral improve
ment, rational recreation and mutual help
fulness. They establish club-roome, where
members may enjoy social intercourse
and pieasant companionship free from
the influences of saloons, to which so many
resort merely for ths want of better places.
Opportunities for instruction are provided
through reading-rooms, circulating libra
ries, evening classes, debates, lectures,
reading, and the like, while amusement is
furnished in the shape of chess, checkers,
billiards, bowling, excursion?, Amateur
theatricals, concerts, etc. Benefit socie
ties, which furnish medicines, medical at
tendance, and pecuniary assistance in
cases of sickness or death; legal aid
societies, which afford protection
from extortion and oppression, and
trade discounts and coal funds, wnich pro
vide tbe staples of life of good quality and
at reduced rates, are organized in clubs.
Habits of thrift and saving are encouraged
by the establishment of co-operative sav
ings banks, building and loan associations,
etc, which aid the workingmen to save
systematically and to buy their own
homes. Self-help and temperance are tbe
two great objects of every workingmen's
olub,
Workingmen's clubs sre comparatively
new in this country, bnt in Great Britain
there are now 1000 such organic itions,
with a total meaiberthip of over 109,000.
The history of these clubs proves that
there is a great reed fjr such organiza
tions among workingmen ; that working
men are quick to appreciate the advantages
which these clubs oiler after having once
experienced them; tbat these clubs, when
once established, are, as a rule, self-ons-taining,
and that they are tbe most effect
ive means yet dev. Bed for raising the in
telligence and improving the condition of
the working people. It is for men of
means, capitalists and land-owners, and
particularly employers of labor, to
show the working people how much they
can do for themselves through these clubs
and institutes, and then to give influence
and support in bringing about their es
tablishment. It is the object of the congress to pro
mote me establishment ot these associa
tions, and information as to their organ
ization and management wid he furnished
on application to John a. Pine, corre
