Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-09-05

under The present domination, need not
be recited. A Rump Congress rules
every part Of the country with despotic
sway, and the ten former Southern
Sovereigntes with the powerof bsyonets.
This they osl ffeedom and re-publicanism.
In ~aceordanes with the plans projected
~ the dominating party, black men, late
slaves, ~uneducated, ignorant and with
~barbarous instincts constitute the major
ity Of voters in the S0athern States.
White men, Of the best type Of eiviliza-
ton, are declared incompetent to exer-
else the elective franchise. In Florida,
the number Of whites registered up to
the eth Of August was 2,796 and Of
negroes, 6,8S1. And it appears by the
North Carolina papers, that the number
of blacks registered In that State to the
18th ult., was as twoto one white. I'm
der the reconstruction acts, as carried ont
by SICKLEs and Pope, it would thus
seem certain that the horde Of AZ
ricsn slaves who were trans
4 ported from Ahica by the slave
traders Of New England, sold to
Southern planters and then e~maneipated
by Northern arms, are to become the
governing class Of the South and the
balance Of power in the Union, in all
general elections. The inevitable result
must be that negroes will become our
Governors, Legislators, Congressman,
Mayors and Aldermen. Resist it as we
may, this must be the result. Will a
governing majority long consent to be
excluded from official posts? Brown
Low will be upseated at the next cleo
ton by a sooty successor. A new odor
will be added to the several hundred
stinks that now saturate the purlieus of
the Capitol ct Washington. SUMNER
and sambo win be at length gratifed to
sit side by side in the seats nee filed by
a WEBSTER, 3 CLAY and . CAL
HOUN. Bad as it may appear, and
will be, We should prefer negro rule to
white Radical rule. Sambo at least Il
not a hypecrite and a Puritan. He hon
estly believes himself under his new
teaching, to be as good as the white man.
His accession to political station will
bring about the elimination Of the
Ebony era in politics, and We shall at
least see what We shall see, and know
the worst we are to expect. Perhaps
even SUMNER will grow less insoIent and
Ben. WADE less insulting under his be-
nign and long wished for sway. BROWN
Low may perchance stoOp to recognise
white men, as "men and brethreu,U
when he shall himself be pushed from
his STOOL" and when the Ebony En-
pire shall be fully established. There
are now in this once goodly
and glorious land, persons Of the
Radical persuasion, who viii, at this cul-
minating point Of the political era,
arouse from the moral sleep in which they
have been indulging, for long years,
and ask themselves If this is the enter
tainment to which they had invited
themselves loyalty to such a Govern
ment as this is what they have achieved
for themselves. Like RIP WLNIILE,
they will see the old images defaced and
the familiar scenes shifted. They viii
feel themselves Isolated, lonely and de-
serted. They will find no fellowship,
community or country Ia all the broad
land. Not only the black urchius in
the streets viii scof and jeer, when they
shout for the Constitution and the Union,
but the very " dogs will bark at them as
they halt by them o"
