From the Memphis Appeal.


The heroic young Kontuckian is
as full Of stratagem as he is Of dar-
ING. He disguised himself as
counhyman and took a wagon load
Of meal to Nashville the other day.
Driving straight to the st. Cloud lIo-
tel. he left his wagon at the door in
charge Of trusty follower, and
went into the dining room Of the ho-
tel about dinnor, where ho sat down
opposite to Gen, McCool1.

cross the table,
"You are right, sir, said McCooli,

"WcII, Ginerai. fthere'snoscecsh-

you right here"
Looking around, the General re-
questcd his new acquaintance to
proceed with what he had to say.
"Well, GinerAl, T live up phere close

meal ground, and I've brung it down
here to-day, and it's now out thar in

you want 1t.

asserted n manifest lie. If no declared all
equal in size or stature, strength or skill,

But Jefferson and that Congress uttered only
weichty and practical truth. They never meanr
white one, nor even that Blacks as a race
were as wise, as effective, as provdent as
Whites. They meant precisely this: In spite Of
oil dicersities Of roos, oolor, culture, ser, iris

and the Fathers-doctrIno which they hoped to
see universally reduced 10 practice through the
ultimate influences of the Revolution they in
augurated.

That measure has again passed the House
we believe for the fourth or fifth time-by
an overwhelming majority, and is once more
before the Senate. We regret to hear reports
that some Republican Senators hesitate to pass
il Mt this session. That the Government is
poor. We know; we insist that one way to
mike it richer is to pass the Homestead bdI.
The cities are full of men who would gladly
work for living, but can find nothing to do;
and this measure will help set many of them
at work. TIE poorest and least helpful class
will seldom go to the Far West; but a more oner-
eetic aud less pinched class piH go, leaving
room for less effective class TO take their
places here The young laboring men in the
West will leave their places on other mems
farms to make homes for themselves from the
Public Lands; and this will allow their present
places TO be filed from further East, aud theirs
in turn from tie seaboard cities. Ooe Million
new settlers on Free Lands will soon largely
increase our Annual Product of Food, and
open new markets for Fabrics. We have
looked carefully into this matter aud feel sure

We fervently hope It may not.
The Senate, if We do not misrecollect, has
twice papsed Il bill abolishing the Franking
Privilege. We believe the majority in either
case was overwhelming. These bills failed IN
the House. Now, the House has passed such
bill, and We trust Tie Senate will not iau 70
concur. II is in substance the Senste's own
measure, and ought not to need much new
