C., June S3.—It isallt- tle early yet to lol. what effect the iie- cision reversing .Irdp- (inff will have on the political situation in this state. This much is certain riftht now. the mass of negroes so suddenly jfiven the ballot have had it us suddenly wrested from their prasp before thej r had power to use it. So far as .liuljfe (ioff's de cision in the .Mills ease is concerned this would seem to leave things just an they were before the decision of .Indue Goff was rendered. Hut there is an other case pending in which an order of injunction has been issued. Mr. .1. F. J. Haldwell, the leading counsel in this case, is here and does not seem to be the least excited over the decision. His case is far more sweeping in its pleadings and it is aimed at stopping the holding of the constitutional con vention and go! tine at the matter on a pleading that is n;> to all requirements, lie says that he will push this ease as fast as he can and feels confident of winning. And this is the state of un certainty which hovers over everything today. The state authorities are very jubilant and justly so, while the ne groes are very downhearted. Etta Jane Notes.

Memphis, Tenn, Jane 13.—When the Committee on resolutions, appoiuteJ at yesterday's session of the Southern and Wester restates silv.-r convt*ntinn, makes its report today there may he a lively time. The plank which may make all the trouble is the one which endorses Joseph C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, for president. Mr. Sibley is a man of bril liant attainments, a fervid friend of the free silver idea and a cordial hater of the administration policy. In his speech last night at tho audi torium he did not spare either Cleve land or Carlisle. It is somewhat doubt ful whether the plank will ever get through the committee. If it does it is almost certain it will never gel through the convention. The more conserva tive members of the delegations do not believe it would lie good policy to in troduce a presidential boom for oven so popular a friend of the free silver movement as Mr. Sibley into a plat form which was originally intended to show nothing but the feeling of the convention on tho money question. Two TImiuskikI I>©l©Kat©.( Shout for Silver. From the standpoint of the white money’ enthusiast nothing was left to be desired by yesterday s convention. Two thousand delegates braved the torrid skies to be present and every state with few exceptions sent it s most prominent and representative men wi.h instructions to shout for silver, vote f>>r silver and tolerate no discussion of any thing else but silver. The delegations varied greatly in size, the largest coming from Mississippi and Tennessee and the smallest from s ane of tho far western or socalh‘1 silver states. The small representation from the silver states was explained to tie* convention by Governor L. Bradford Prince, of New Mexico, on the ground that all these states had recently at tended the convention at Salt Lake City. “Nevertheless,” said Governor Prince, “not one of t hese was unrepre sented. A committee lias been ap pointed a t the Salt Lake ( ity conven tion to represent all the states ami tins committee would arrive today. foil vent ion tailed to Order. The convention was cailol to order at 2 o’clock. W. X. Brown, of Mem phis, as chairman of the ' eiilrsl Dii'.e- tallie league of Shelby county, 'i'ennes- see, which sent out the call for tho convention rapped the assemblage to order. From start to finish the convention was one of the greatest of enthusiasm. Every pronounced free silver utterance was the signal for prolonged applause, and when the various person.; well known in public life, appeared on the rostrum, each received an ovation. When Chairman Brown had called the convention to order. L. D. Estes offered u prayer in which lie implored Divine guidance for the delegates. Colonel Casey Young, of Memphis, then delivered an address of welcome. After Colonel Young had finished his speech, which was received witli fre quent bursts of applause by the con vention, Senator David Turpie, of In diana, was announced as the perma nent chairman. E emit or Turple’H Spcocli. Senator Harris arose to introduce the permanent chairman. He made a short speech, explaining the olij-ct of tin) convention and the call. It was -;riet- ly non-partisan and was called for one purpose only -to consider the rehabil itation of siiwr. Senator Turpie addressed the eonven- tion, in substance, us follow-: ('■•tiled III •nev lilts tilwry*. i id • < It in Itself a tillin' of Value amt lid* V; Im-* Is of t ■■ kinds tin iiudallic or l>iil!li.n Milne iiiiui:.i inotictiiry worth <11 !• .'at vithic.

The marriage was quite a surprise to the many friends of the young couple, for while they were known to have been engaged for some time still no '■artls had been issued and the affair was not expected t i occur so soon. The groom is a most t-stiimildc young man and the bride is one of the reign ing belles of this section. She is not only pr.'lly, hut is amiable and tity-a-e.-ses many noble t rails.

C., June 10.—On Thursday we were the guests of the famous Buck Forest Hotel. It is situated in one of those beautiful groves of pine, cedar and laurel in this vicinity. It derives its name from the fae! that bucks abound in tiie forest near by and upon the front piazza hangs twenty-three buck horns with from four to six'prongs and in front of the door is an elk’s horns as large as a man’s arm and three or four feet long and eight or ten prongs on it. 'i'he Buck Forest Hotel is a line summer resort and Joe ('arson, the proprietor, is as lively as can he. Four miles south of Buck Forest is Rich Mountain, one of the famous p.-nks of Transylvania county, from which point you view tin.* valley of Little and French Broad Rivers and the beautiful city of Brevard, lhe county seat of this county, ten miles distance. .Nearby Buck Forest is a rock covering sixty or eighty acres of land upon the side of a mountain Mid fronting the hot"l. l iii* weather here is so cold yotH’ correspondent has a severe attack of la grippe. \Vc regret not bringing our overcoat with us. The water, too, makes a fellow shiver and his t eth tliey “ehaiter, chatter still We starlcd from I his point tart her west and crossed French Broad river near Eetista, X. G. The French Broad is ! at all times muddy while the oilier I rivers are clear as crystals. Jack fish 1 abound in the French Broad whilt! Lspeckjetl t rout are found in abun- i dance in the tributaries. The trout are the prettiest lish we’ve ever seen and are excellent on the table. On Monday we visited Brevard and there we found a court, house and a few other buildings while the rest of the town is tied out to grass ail over the mountains three or four miles dis tant. This is a beautiful situation for a city at it’s the land of the sky, surrounded by mountains out of sight. We saw Mt. Bisgith the highest peak in western North Caro lina where four counties join in one foot of land, namely, Haywood. Hen derson, Transylvania and Folk. Here, ’tis said, o 11c nigger in South Carolina could preach to the four counties. The valley of the French Broad is from one to two miles wide and the finest farming land we ever saw. The rye is as high as six feet and there is plenty of it up here. We like this country for cool water, and the production of corn, cabbages, Irish potatoes, etc. The irish pota- too farms are flourishing. We often see eight and ten acre fields. The people are in a stir about Hie Hen dersonville Jr Brevard railroad which will be completed by July loth. This country sure needs a railroad but it will take a rousing engine to climb these mountains. We find the most of the people up hero to be the strongest republicans but they are all in favor of free and unlimited coinage of silver. Ui'STkk.jJ • -*•► • Programme of S. S.
