The NEGRO IN OmIo.-The returns from
Ohio where the question of negro suffrage
was submitted untramelled to the people,
in q proposed amendment to the State
Constitution, show that the proposition is
defeated by several tho1sands. The Jaco-
bins there had made the issue that the
''test Of loyalty" was giving the ballot to
oil men; and they have lost. When it is
remembered that this same party has asked
the southern states, to place such clause
in their own constitution, as preliminary
to the admission of their own represent
atives into Congress, and to reduce their
representation in Congress unless they let
the negro and all negroes vote ; then the
beauty aud consistency becomes visible to
the naked eye. 9l3isfa sllt b 81

WHAT Would BE LEFT OF IT ?-The Rad
icals finding it impossible to carry all their
isms, are in some of the States, denying
that the negro equality question is involv-
ed in the contest in other States, that the
tariff is an issue, and in others, that Pro-
hibition and Sunday restrictions are in
yolved-as may suit localities. If these
"planks' were all to be withdrawn in any

On Saturday, September 81, 1867, the
Chicago Tribune said -" There il one
state-Ohio-in which the issue of impair
tial suffrage and equal political rights is
fully and vigorously canvassed on both
sides. The election takes place there on
the second Tuesday of October, being only
three weeks hence. q We desire the Herald
to watch the signs and indications and to
note the result in that state. If Ohio goes
per;johnson this fall, it may be fairly
claimed that there is reaction against
the principles of the republican party
But what will the Herald say if the Buck
eye State should roll up 10000 to 10000
majority for impartial suffrage and con-
gressional reconstruction The republic

MEMPHIS, April p, 1857, pm.
GENERAL BUSINESS.
Business remains only tolerably active,
although cur merchants report an i'm
proving tendency. Provisions continue
firm with q moderate demand. In dry
goods the Improvement is more marked
than in any other branch Of trade. Our
streets bore sn active appearance during
the dav. bus the absence of people rom
the interior is becoming quite noticeable.
This is accounted for by the fine
weather which is being taken advan-
tage of by our planters to put in their
crops.
COTTON.-A further decline is re-
ported at Liverpool and New York, and
our market remains stagnant. Factors
are disposed to sell to-day at 2lc for
middling, with no buyers. The New
York market opened dull and nominal
at 24l to 25c, and closed very dull. Ae-
curate quotations could not be given
nominal at 24c. We omit quotations at
this point, as we could learn of no sales
worth noting.
As bearing particularly on the subject
of the recent advance in breadstuffs, we
annex q paragraph from the Toronto
Leader on the trade prospects Of Canada:
The accumulation OF grain at the diff
ferent ports on the lakes is regarded by
forwarders as considerably larger than
last year it is worthy of mention as q
new feature in trade, that large quanti-
ties of oatmeal are to be sent forward
from ports on LaKe Ontario TO Europe
One forwarding firm here has arranged
To carry Is, 900 to 20, 600 barrels to Mon
tresl for transhipment TO ocean vessels
bound for Europe. Enormous quantities
OF slaves are TO be shipped from Hamil-
ton and other points for Quebec; the
business in this article will undoubtedly
much exceed that of last year.

The MEMPHIS APPEAL
,MEMPHIS:
rms APPEAL TO THE sUPREME

We are very far from agreeing Win
those who censure Judge SHARKEH' Mr.
NVAr.I1ER and the others who have made
the attempt in behalf Of Mississippi and
Georgia to procure condemnation OF
The Reconstruction Acts and Military
Despotisns from the Supreme Court
ON the contrary, we think it was the
dntv of the Provinces to make these at
tennis. If they were even certain, anu
the more bound if it was certain that
the Court would declare itself poweriess
70 vindicate constitutional liberty against
its assassins.
To demonstrate, by this solemn deela-
ration of the Judicial Department, that
IL cannot interfere to prevent the fOrcioie
divestiture of a State, by Congress, OF all
its prerogatives and rights as q STAG and
a member Of the Union, the disfranchis-
ing of its citizens, the abolition Of its gov
and the creation Of an uAmltl-
gated military despotism empowered 70
annul laws, suspend the operation OF the
Of the Courts and prevent the
execution of their process, empowered
TO substitute Military Commissions Tor
tbe Courts administering that Justice
with which the people have been famil-
lar. is certainly the only practical mode
of startling the people Of the Northern
States, and causing them to realize into
what strange seas the ship of State has
drifted. For their own States, if so dealt
with, viii be equally without remedy.
That is one thing to be effected by
nrocuring from the Court declaration
of its impotence to protect any of the
rights of a Stata, or enforce the constl-
tutional compact between the States.
And such a decision also demonstrates
that. as there is no remedy for a State
so deprived of her rights and preroga-
tives, by any judicial proceeding; and
as it is impossible that there should be
no remedy for such intolerable wrongs,
the right Of Secession, for SO complete a
violation of the compact, can no longer
be denied.
NAPOLEON said that In fifty years,
Europe would be either republican or
Cossack. Let the Supreme Court broadly
decide that a State ravished Of all her
rights has no judicial remedy, and in ten
years, II the Southern people steddfastsg
refuse TO sign and seal the cession and
surrender Of GH their Constitutional
rights, and to cast array and rep,SdiGte
all their time honorcd priHcipleS,-in ten
years this Republic win have become
an Empire, or the State-rights doctrines
will be revived and prevail everywhere,
even exaggerated perhaps, according to
what commonly occurs in case of great
reaction in the popular mind.
If there is no Judicial remedy for the
States, and no right Of Secession, the
Empire ought to be desired by all who
hate anarchy, and think stability and
permanence in laws and measures neees-
sary to good government.
We thank Messrs. .SHARKEY and WAL
FlER for having brought the matter to an
issue, and demonstrated the utter impo-
tence of the Judicial Department to ar
rest the progress of despotism and protect
the dearest rights of the States.
