Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-08-03

The election IN this State is over, and
the State is now 10 reap its bitter conse-
quences, in the continuance Of misrule
and organized anarchy, the want of con-
fdenee Of capitalists, the diminution OF
value Of property, and the Thousand
other natural fruits of misgovernment,
and the administration Of public affairs
by rapaeity for private profit.
We are not in the lesst disappointed in
the result, because we have never had
the least hope of success. The despo-
tism that Expresses the State is too
firmly seated to be endorsed at present.
Let it reign on; its day Of doom will
come after a time.
In this city and county, the negro
Radical majority is not nearly as large
as we expected. We thought it would
be, in the city, at least four thousand.
But it has not been owing to any consid-
cradle division Of the negro vote, that the
majority is so much less than we ex-
pected. That vote was thrown almost
solidly in favour Of continuing the dis
reimbursement Of those white men who
are denied the right OF suffrage. OF
course Radicalism is jubilant, at its glo-
rious achievement and splendid success
in inducing the negroes to vote for
BRowNIow, by making them r~eligiously
believe that II the Conservative party
should succeed, it would forthwith reduce
them to slavery.
The Conservatives bear their defeat
with becoming philosophy. They kept
their faith in regard to the arrangements
for voting; they proved themselves
lovers of order, and obedient to the laws.
They may well be content with all they
have done, except the attempt to obtain
the votes of part Of the negroes, an idle
attempt and a mischievous mis-poliey,
to which we never assented, and Of
which we shall have more to say here
after.
The election is over, and tine self
Importance Of the negro will Wofully
collapse. He will soon subside into his
original insigniicance. He has had his
holiday sad hour Of jubilee. He has
been fooled and fattered, has had his pic
MICS and parades, has yelled and shouted
in applause of Radical harangues, st
meetings Of his Loyal Leagues, has
had his hands pressed by those
Of Radicals, and been clspped
on the back by them at the polls, has
dashed about to bring up voters, and felt
vastly important for a few hours; and
now he is to learn slesson that will make
him wiser. He is Of no further use to
/ Rsdicalism, at present. He has served
their purposes, and like a squeezed lemon
is now to be flung away. He may now
bid farewell to all his greatness, for two
years. The Conservative whose disfran-
ehisement he has voted to perpetHate,
will decline to avail himself further Of
his valuable services. His hack and his
dray will stand idle. Radiealism will
not furnish him meat and bread, and the
" Bureau" will pronounce him a nuis-
ance.
When we lived in Arkansas, in former
years, we saw every second year, some
two hundred men come into town OF
the biennial election day, and vote the
Democratic ticket, not one of whom We
had seen for two years before, nor did
we ever see one of them again until an
other election. These men did not find
the right of voting worth much to them,
hardly q dollar and halt, We imagine,
every two years. Candidates, riding
about electiODeering, were very fond of
them and their children for a
few weeks before the election,
and they received great attention
on the day itself. But during
the long vacation they did not find their
right to vote available to obtain a loan
or credit for goods to the amount Of a dol
lar. The right to give a single vote, one
of four or five or fifty or g hundred thou
sand, is not of any great value, as the
negro will find out by and By. He
knows his friends, we suppose. Let him
see if they will support him in idleness.

Gals, if he likes, until we can beat both
together.
