wares offered by the several dealers, witt

Exhibition of hardware, stoves, furnaces
CRATES, ranges, msntles and tin, copper an(
sheet iron kitchen ware than is now dis
played by this firm. Prominent and attrac
tive is the array of statuary marble man
ties, as well as narbleized slate-stont
mantles. The latter present beautiful
appearance in their close resemblance to
Egyptian, Brocatello, Verd Antique Por-
phyry, Spanish and Italian marbles, and are
of many patterns, being either elaboratels
carved, moulded, panneled or plain.
/ The stove department suggests the ex-
haustion of the resources of every stow.
designer in the land, as the collection en-
braces all manner OF styles and sizes. Of
ice and parlor stoves are abundant, but the
heaters pale in numbers beside the colony
of cooking stoves. Monarch of stoves is
one designated as the "IDAHo Coal Cook
STOVE" which is destined speedily to
supercede all coal cook stoves now in use.
Within the past twelve months nearly one
hundred IDAHo's have been purchased by
prominent citizens of Columbus, and after
being thoroughly tested, have been award
ed the palm as the cheapest and best stove
ever manufactured, and in no instance has
n failed to give entire satisfaction. We for
bear further enumeration of the manifold
excellencies of the IDAHO or of the many
other articles of household use to be seen

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-11-23

The New York Times, owned and
edited by HENRY J. RAYMOND, Jacobin
member Of Congress, Of a late date, has
the following protest;
The reconstruction act under which
the Southern States are required to reor-
ganiZe their governments, gives the ne
groes Of those States universal suffrage
and requires them 10 frame State Con
stitutiOns which shall do the same
thing. Every negro in the South Owe
q years Of age Is to be allowed
to vote. Now we certainly are not mis-
taken in saying that this i not what the
settled Judgment Of the Republican
party demands or approves. Il is not
what 8 majority OF the Republican party
in Congress demanded or desired. It
wss forced upon them, against their
better Judgment and against their DELHI
crate decision in caucus, by a coalition Of
the Democrats sud the Radicals, who
Joined their strength to enforce the posi-
ton that either no negroes should vote,
or else that all should vote. They drove
the Republican party in Congress to this
siteruaLive-and, a. a matter Of neces-
sirv and not Of choice, they decided in
favor Of universal negro suffrage.
II the question were free from aside
issues, - it would be easily and promptly
settled. If it were simply thus" are
the negroes OF the South, as a body,
qualified to take part in the r~eOrganiza-
ton Of the Southern State Governments;
is il wise or safe TO leave them to decide
what principles shall be embodied in the
State Constitutions, what shall be the
form snd powers Of the State Govern
ments. and what shall be the securities
for life and property under them there
are not ten men out OF 3 thousand in the
Republican party who would not say no.
Nobody believes they are. How should
they be? The great mass OF them have
been kept in the most stOld Ignorance
all their lives; they 3 neither read nor
write. they have heard nothing Of poll
tics and know nothing Of the simplest
facts Of our history or our Government
they have neither the capacity to form
opinions nor the material to form them
from; and as q matter OF necessity, az
well as 81 fact, they will be and are SIM
plv tools in the hands Of party leaders
and Sire-pulleTs on the u side or the
otnsr. Circumstances Just now throw
them into the hands Of the Republicans.
Ine WeiEuk OF LAElA FbLc6 Cdu HAA al
be thrown into tie Republican scale.
And it is this fact which leads the Repub-
Iicans to accept for them the principle Of
universal suffrage, and which, we may
add. leads the Democrats to oppose it.
The TBpss declares that it is now too
late to stop the process Of Constitution
masking by the Conventions gotup under
the reconstruCtiOn acts but suggests that
Congress has the power to deal as il
pleases with their work when it shall have
been completed, and proposes should
require the Constitutions s made to be
30 chapged as to substitute " impartial "
for " uafUeysal" suffrage. It is a plain
confession Of the m~aiiguitg and folly Of
the Congressional legislation outside Cf
ths Constitution, " in respect to recon
strucHou. II such is Republican states
manship, repa0Hcsl-sm ought to be
short-liyed, for Congress govern with
even less sense than kings.
