Editors Memphis Appeal;
The decision Of the supreme court dis
missing the Injunction case Of the state
Of Georgia has taken no q by surprise,
il only being what was generally TX
pscted. Ii is thought the opinion viii
not be delivered until next winter. Il 4.
said the court will pat their decision
on the ground that this is political
question, and being such is not cognjza-
Gle by the judiciary that they can only
administer such relief on the bill fled
that a court Of equity would admin
lister according to the principles Of
equity Jurisprudence. The MISSISSIPPI
case is only reserved II Is sallI IA
order to consider the application for
amendment. The adjudlcated case
which approaches most closely 10 these
eases j. the csse of the state Of Penusyl-
vania against the Wheeling bridge. In
this csse the bill was sustained, as i5.
affected the mouisd interests OF Psuusyl-
vania by diminishing the revenue from
her public works, etc. The object Of
amending the Mississippi bill, has beSl
10 bring it within the principle OF tre'
PENNSYLVANIA and Wheeling bridge case.
But these are timss|hen nothing sue
ceeds, and so il is believed it VIII be with
this application to amend.
The discharge of Mr.. Davis on bail,
has given general satisfaction. The adj
ministratiOu had to take the responsible

has become SO much t~ranquiiizsd in res
gard 70 Mr.. Davis, that there Is no gem
eraI cutlery against his being b2ilsd. The
north now desires peace. Il has carried
out It's policy south, by which the repus-
iicau party hope 70 have g foOJhOid south,
and the same party motives for exagger-
ating sectional irritation does not exist
in anything like the force it did.
The Judiciary committee, who have
the presidents Impeachment in charge,
oct c-on6dentially that they have
got hold of something tangible. What
this thing is remains, as yet, 3 matter of
conjecture. Some insist that it grows
out Of the exercise Of the p%ardOuing
power; but this is not certain. What is
seen, however. is that the majority of
the committee have let il out condden-
italy that they have got something to
go upon.
MI. John Tyler son Of ex-President
TYLER is lecturing here on the "Cfylii-
zatiOn of Plymouth rock and James

tical importance at this time.

lihood Of his being disturbed if he re-
turns.
This week is the week Of celebrations
here. The different societies come out
and show themselves this week. The

OF high prices.
