of tome three hundred thousand acres ofwild swamp-land- s, and the grading of the roadfrom this point to the Alabama line, the roadbeyond the Alabama line being covered bymortgage bonds to the amount of some sevenhundred thousand dollars, which is enoughto swallow that yorticn 0f the road entire.Hence, we can only estimate the value of therood between here and the Alabama line,wiarh is really the only available property oftht? road, since the vild swamp-land-s have aleveo tax against them that would make themvalueless, even if they had a market value.So we have only the grading between here

nd the Alabama line to set down in the col-

umn of assets, while the liabilities are overme in lhon dollars. At a reasonable esti-

mate tiia asset would barely be worththe amount of the three hundred andten thousend dollars of mortgage bonds.In tbe event of the sale of the rood, thelandholders would necessarily become theparchiwers. In the suit now pending in thei'ederal court here of the bondholders against

Our business men, in truthevery man in Memphis, is ia favor of mangarating the work at once. We have everyconfidence in the ability of the new companyto build the line, and it should be encouragedin every way possible.

AMUSEMENTS.

i nis caarmine opera nas been under ec- -tive rchcurSid for some time bv a mimWoi laientea amateurs and prote&sional musicians. IU production at the alemDhis Theater tbe ntth and sixth of November baa already aroused attention and elicits generalinterest. All the ladies and gentlemen in theeast nave been zealous in tbeir ettorts toKT.wp and comprehend the piece so as to dotneir renpective roltt credit, rroiu theirknown talent and amount of study iriventhe piece, we feci assured that the BohemianUtrt will be rendered in a manner artisticanti lancinaunir. i ne dioi oi me oivmexceedingly pleaaing, which opens at "CountArnheim's ' chateau, Austria, to which place"Tfcaddeus." a Polish exile, needy and insearch of concealment, makes his way whilethe peasantry ana retainers, with their nerds,are preparing for the chase. "Devilshoof,"a leader of a band of Gypsies, meets "Thad-deus- ,"

and learning that he is pursued byAustrian troops, gives him a disguise, andalter biding him, put the pursuers on thewrong track. Soon thereafter cries of distress being heard, and 'iloresteinappears, surrounded by huntsmen,the count's child and her attendant bavin ar been attacked by ai infuri-ated stair in the forest. "Thaddeus." seizmca rifle, hurried to the forest and shot the stagdead. He then takes the child in his arms,and, upon returning, meets the "Count,"

ho. overjoyed at tbe rescue of his darlincoverwhelms "Thaddeus" withthanks, and invites him to join tbe festivitiesabout to take place. Alter first refusing.'Thaddeus" accepts the invitation, and when

seated at the table the "Count" offers as atoast, "Health and long life to the emperor."All except "Thaddeus" drink to the toast,and the "Count" orders him to join in. Herefuses to comply, and dashes the wine tothe ground, which, of course, produces aburst of indignation and surprise, the guestsbecome to indignant that they threaten tokill "IbaddeuB," but "Devilshoof" appearsabout this time, and of course takes sideswith him. By order of the "Count" the attendants seize and convey "Devilshoof" tothe cattle, but "Thaddeus" is allowed todepart, and the festivities are resumed.During the tele uevilsboot escapes.taking with him the "Count's" infant daughter, "Arline." His flight issoon discovered, excitement prevails, andpursuit is instituted, peasants, huntsmen.and attendants join in the search. " Devils- -boot is soon espied, but he is crossinar adangerous precipice, holding the child in hisarms, and manages to escape. The first acthere endu, giving a picture of the unhappvfather in his ai.irumh and despair. Fifteenyears elapse, when we behold in the suburbsof the city of Pres burg a camp of gipsies, withtheir queen, in whose tent dwells the

Count's daughter, " Arline, now grownto be a young woman. " Florestein," a fop-pi- h

attache to the " Count," ia met byUevilnbott and companions, who steal his

jewelry, the w'iey gipsy taking care to securetor himselt a medalion. lhaddeus, whohad, from the time of the flight, become amember of the gipsy band, falls in love with

Arline. and they become engaged, although he conceals the secret of his birth-an-dformer life. While the gipsies are at a grandfair in the plaza of the city, " Florestein "appears and is fascinated by tbe beauty of

Arline. lie discovers bis medalion on herneck, and, as she refuses to surrender it,he charges her with theft, which causes greatexcitement, and leads to the young woman'sarrest. Arline being earned before "CountArnheim, happens to see the mark left bythe wound which the stag inflicted on herarm when she was but a child. Upon in-

quiry, "Arline" tells the story as related by"Thaddeus," and the "Count" recognizeshis long-lo- st child. This closes the secondact. "Arline" is restored to her rank andfather's home, but still loves "Thaddeus,"who has to face danger and meet her in sa- -cret. "Thaddeus" finally bids her farewell,she promising fidelity, and declares that shewill love no one else. Here we find that the"Gipsy Queen," who also loves "Thaddeus,"has been plotting to take him from "Arline."By her device the medallion was discoveredirj possession of "Arline." Even now she isconspiring to separate the lovers, but herplots fail. "Thaddeus" finally relates hishistory to "Count Aroheim," who, in grati-tude to the savior of his child, bestows her up-on him. Desire for vengeance now fills theheart of the "Gipsy Queen." She induces oneot her tribe to shoot at "Thaddeus" while he isembracing '"Arline." This attempt at assassi-nation fails, for "Devilshoof" by a timelymovement causes the murderous bullet tomiss "Thaddeus," and it pierces the heart ofthe "Gipsy Queen." On alternate eveningsMisses Jennie Magevney and Hattie Collinstake the role of "Arline," and Misses KateHarmon and Jennie Jones that of the "GipsyQueen." The rest of the cast is as follows:"Count ..Amheim," governor of Presburg,John Legler; "Thaddeus," George L. Caet-ne- r;

"Buda," Miss Jennie Hunter; "Flor-estein." W. W. Warren: "Devilshoof," N.Petersen. In addition to this cast there willbe nobles. Gipsies' retainers, peasants andsoldiers, making a chorus of sixty voices.Mrs. Czapski was to have assumed the role of"Arlme one evening, but as it was subse-quently determined to give but two, insteadof three entertainments, she gracefully with-drew in favor of Misses Magevney and Col-

lins, young ladies whose talent will findmuch appreciation amonz tbe audience. The

Special Correspondence of the Appeal.Washington. October 25. Tbe senate

and house have nl loomed over to Wednet ms.when Mr. KaiMteil wilt report his committees, andthe worn of the session will really begin.

THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASES,which have occupied tbe time and attention of bothhouMes, bave been disposed of for the present onthe part of the bouse by the reference of Pattersonand Belford's claims to the committee on electionslor report, and bt the senate br reference of theSporford-KeUog- g claims to tbe cemmlttee on elec-tions and privileges, wltb power to send for personsand papers, wltb a view to probe the whole matter totbe bottom. Mr. Spofford cannot fall to protltbr this dlHUCsltlon of tbe case. and. It Is believed.will be able to vindicate the sufficiency of his claimsand secure bis seat, notwithstanding Mr. Hayes hasthrown himself into the scale for Kellog. Thisdetermination of the President for Kellogg (thoughentirely consistent wltb bis own title to the Presi-dency) is a surprise to many, and by all Is acceptedas a plain Indication of bis purpose, as stated in aprevious letter, to unite with his party and bring hisadministration into line with the general policy ofIts leaders. In the accomplishment of this purposeMr. Conkltng alone stands la the way. If he can bewon over, and be prevailed upon to forego the oppo-sition foreshadowed by bis resolution of Inquiry intothe reasons inducing

OFFICIAL CHANGESby tbe President, tbe Republican party will oncemore become bold and amrresslve and the Democrats be put upon their merits before the country.Kvery effort likely to conduce to this result Is beingmade, and It is believed success will attend It WereMorton here it would not have been delayed thislong. In his absence tbe nersonal ambitions ofthose who would take his place Intervene to postponel. il is uircresiiiig to note me arguments ana move-

ments that are being used and made to bring tbePresident to terms. Among them, and theprincipal. Is the nomination of Grant for a thirdterm In 1KK0. Not only in private, but in public isthe contrast Indulged In of the posltlveness of hisadministration and the weakness of Hayes's. TheRepublican politicians) who risked so much forthe success of Hayes, soured at what they cannotbut regard as his desertion of them, dwell muchupon me pas wuen everyining went witn tne regu-lar swlUK of a Dendulum.t&nd thev hn1 mil tn suggest for the executive to obey. Grant was at leasttrue to his friends. Hayes has jpreferred strangersto his. To see

KEY IN THE CABINET,favorite confidant ot an administration hA rilrl all

he could to prevent, and Evarts and Schurz, whocould not be party men If they tried, dictating tbedistribution of tbe best places to negative men likethemselves, is more than Zach Chandler of SimonCameon can ever consent too; and it Is whisperedthat Conkllngand his followers, before giving theirconsent to the peace so necessary to the future of theRepublican party, will demand the removal of Keyand Schurz and only consent to the retention ofEvarts upon bis agreeing to recedeom bis position. Mr. Key Is said to be rstwIhIIvobnoxious because of his recent avowal that h ustill a Democrat, and if he is not asked to resign. Itwill be because Hayes Is too stubborn In bis friend-ship for him. That be Is a faithful officer, attentiveto his duties, is generally conceded; but he occupies,as a Mruiwnu, piace tutu coma oe niiea more sat-isfactorily and advantageously to the Republicans,and sooner or later Is destined to surrender, nnlmu.as above, the President insists upon his retentionon personal grounds, wblcb is likely, since be Is re-garded as a great favorite with Hayes. Indicatingstill further tbe progress made by Mr. Hayes in thedirection of a compromise and union with tbe Re-publican leaders, I am able to state almost positively that

JOHN BAXTER'Sname will be sent in on Monday for the circuit Judge-ship, recently offered to but refused by Christlancy.Thus tbe influence and power of our two annstnrsand eight Democratic representatives bas beenneutralized by Tbomburg and Randolph,our only Republican stow-ing plainly that while mak,ng greatprofessions ot a desire to subierve the will ofthe people rather than of party, Hayes Is at heart asthoroughly partisan as when, In h's last canvass fortbe governorship of Ohio, he rivalled Morton in bitterness against tne souin.

General Butler win. more than likely, be admittedto bis seat In tbe senate. Patterson Is said to be forhim; so is Dorsey, of Arkansas, and Conover, ofFlorida. These, wltb the Democratic senntors, willbe sufficient to prevent a contest in bis case.

THE STANDING COMMITTEES.The delay In the announcement of the standlne

committees of tbe bouse by the speaker Is due to theaesire or nr. uanaaii to comer witn tne Republicanmembers, in order to secure their satisfactory repre-sentation on them. As before advised, Mr. Atkinsand Mr. Bright will positively, and Colonel Caseyyoung prooaoiy, navs cnairmansnips the fir-mer of the committee on aourourlatlons. thesecond of the committee on claims, and the latteron public buildings and. grounds. BythU liberaldealing Tennessee la brought out conspicuously, aslieneral Atkins will rank next to. if not alonmlde of.the leaders of the house. Only one committee thaiof ways and means surpasses that of approprl vtlons In Importance. Tbe expenses and expendi-tures of every department of the government pass ItIn review, and whatever of additional economy theDemocratic party can enforce must and its founda-tion In tbe recommendations of General Atkins andhis colleamies. No apuoliitment bv Mr. Randall.could give more satisfaction than this. By length ofservice, oy experience, oy ine close attention wnicbbe gives to bis duties, by the fidelity which has evercharacterized him as a Democrat, and by the pos-session of talents conspicuously those most neces-sary in a useful legislator, General Atkins Is entitledto the promotion which Mr. Randall's appreciationIn this c ise Implies. For Industry and perseveranceno member of the house suntasses blm, and there Isnot one to whom tbe speaker could more oontldentlycommit the trust of economy In public expenditures,with more certainty that It would be faithfullyguarded. It Is a conviction with General Atkinsthat retrenchment, economy and reform must bepusbtsl so long as there Is any room, and tbereaders of the Appeal may reasonably ex-pect that he will make a record quite up to thepledged faith of the party, and such as will satisfytbe economist himself Randall that he was notmistaken In his Judgment of the representative otthe eighth district.

Mr. Bright, one of the most efficient men on thefloor of the house, prudent and cautious in counsel,honorable and upright in the discharge of his du-ties, and firm In serving the best Interests of thegovernment and tbe people. Is not without a broadand generous sympathy for the unfortunates andtbose in distress, whose cases are those with whichthe committee on claims has to deal. A manof serious mould, he Is alive to the distresses whichthe civil war brought to every part of tbe country,and while he will always be found acting from asense of duty, be will never be found wanting inthose philanthropic traits necessary to the symi&-thetl- c

appreciation of suffering and full solicitudefor the distressed. A strict economist, be will, whiledealing Justly, defend and protect the governmentagainst fraud and the fraudulent claim agents, ofwhom there are many yet in Washington. Mr.Bright Is also a'i able speaker, and with his fellow-meuibe-

of both parties, stands well, enjoyingtueir resptKa aim esteem.

OUR OWN REPRESENTATIVEIs so well known that It would be a waste of time tosay anything about him more than that for lndustivand tact In the accomplishment of his purposes, or forattention to tne wants oi nis section or tne numblestof bis constituents, be is not surpassed by any mem-ber on either side of the bouse. Whatever of legislation is neeuea to aavance ine material prosperityof tbe country, not especially bis own part of ILfinds in Colonel Young an earnest advocate and anuntiring, energetic, pushing friend. At the head ottbe committee named, be will have an opportunityfor the exercise oi nis anilities mat win oe a severe

st of them. Every public building In course oferection, or that Is now contemplated, and all thepublic grounds, come under the scrutiny and care ofthis ecmdttee. It, therefore, has to deal directlywltb the pcCns Ot all the great commercial centersor promising points. . w".t oiiubic mm

hut hntn nower and duty, so faras they depend upon Colonel Young, will be care-fully exercised and faithfully performed. As closelyeconomical as Atkins or Bright, he will neitherlaunch Into extravairance nor permit an excess ofexpenditures oyer and above the original Intentionof congress in the construction of bulldlnss and themanagement, preservation, ana improvement oiniihltc irrouncis.

Mr. House was pressed upon tbe speaker for thechairmanship oi the eommutes on facinc ranroaus,but Mr. Randall could not give It without droppingeither one of the mntlemen named above, it Is notusual to give one tetate four committees, and threeare as many as.ln tbe Judgment of considerate mem-bers from our own Slate, we can reasonably expect. If we get four, we shall have occasion to feeldoubly nonoreo.
