Editors Memphis Appeal;
The riOtous disposition manifested BY
some Of the blacks Ia certain Of the
southern cities, produces very painful
apprehensions here, among some OF the
most intelligent observers. This feeling
is not confined exclusively to the con-
servatives. Prominent members OF the
republican party share in this feeling.
Some who were in Richmond recently
have returned with very sad impressions
OF the disposition Of the colored popula-
ton there. Some persons, whose opin-
ions are worth consideration, do not hes
itate to say that they fear the worst at
the south. But all men Of conservative
opinions agree in expressing the nope
that every possible preea1tion may oe
nsed 10 prevent outbreaks, inasmueh as
thew cannot but act prejudieially iE pO-
liticaI point of view. Certain it is, the
disposition the blacks are constantly
manffesting at certain points to tur0u-
lenee, is alarming and trOu bling some OF
the most ultra men Of the radical school.
Some of these men in private do not hes.
itate to admit that, after al, the blacks
NAV not prove worthy OF rhe duties de-
manded of them.s Consnulmate pru-
denee aud forbearance is Fre-eminentiy
-
the policy Of the white race south at TINS
junctGre.
The treasury is beginning to find diff
Guilty in providing for its numerous en-
gagements. The last congress scattered
the public money with prodigsl hand,
fn the shape of increased bounties, etc.
determined to buy popularity at any
price and now the revenue OF the gov
eminent Is constantly falling of. ms
is owing, in large degree, to the paral-
vsis caused by the unsettled condltlon OF
the country. 4 il th0ughtin some quar-
ters that it will be necessary to nave an
actual session Of congress at the time 70
which the adjournment TOOK plsce, IN
order to place the treasury IN stronger
position.
1t a curious fact that our govern
ment aas % foot up handsome OIL Ior
the expenses Of the tenlan trlais ~ 10
ronto. Canada. The object was TO obtain
every legal and possible assistance l0r me ne
captured Fenians who were on trial. IL
seems sineuIar. however, that our gov
eminent should employ lawyers 70 de-
feDd these cases. But il is very impor-
tant to show proper sympathy IN the
fate of those who excite the sympathy
of our Irish population.
There has been for some time an I'M
preston that, in some way or other, the
treasury department was being roooec.
The most searching examinations nave
taken place lately, but without OBTAIN

A few dsvs AGO a colored preacher, VINO
was in high favor, having, according 70
the evidence, access 10 the money saie,
was arrested for stealing the puohc
money. Phe evidence on his eXamlna-
ton showed pretty clearly that ne haa
not been able to resist the eXuaorulhAIy
teuptation to which he was subjected,
Theregulations in bankruptcy recently
adoDted are now in the hands OF the
nrinter. and viii be our in q Jew days.
The regulations with the bankrupt act,
will make the system inteiligible ana
harmonious. The number Of appIca-
tions for the position of register Is very
numerous, and many persons from Iile
south applying for this Office are fouhH 10
have been loyal, whose loyalty was en-
tirelvunkn0wn to their neigh bOrs during
the war. Some one remarking upon
upon this, said be expected, at no very
distant date, il would be very difficult 10
find q real out-and-out secesslOnlst sOuth.
We have in the morning papers an
other batch of murders at the north. No
notice is taken Of their occurrence but
if anybody is killed south, il IL a hOrrl-
Die matter. One would have supposed
that the establishment OF common
schools, which is 70 bring about the MIL
lenium, would have long since put an
end to these constantly recurring mllr-
