Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-06-08


-GOy. Brownlow telegTaphs to New
York that the July interest on Tennessee
bonds will be promptly met.
An exchange says Brownlow laughs
heartily at Mr.. Etheridge's canvass. He
does not look upon him as candidate
for governor, but merely as chap
taking exercise for healthful purposes"
and is confident the fraudulent returns
of his radical registrars and the bayonets
of his militia VIII suffice to retain him in
Office no matter what the result OF the
ballot may indicate as the popular VIII
in the recent debate st Knoxville,
between Hon. Emerson Etheridge and
Stokes, the latter so exclusively ad-
dressed himself to the freedmen present,
and made such buffoon OF himself 70
eater for their especial taste that hun
dretis of genuine union men, finding
themselves practically ignored, gave
vent to their disgust by quietly leaving
lie erouud! One act of many OF the
hudierous incidents that occurred may be
mentioned. Stokes, in alludiDg to the
Etheridge court martial, and the letter
of Gen. Thomas in relation TO the md
ing Of the court, eulogized Gen. Thomas
in 3 very deserved and handseme style,
and perforated by asking II there was
man in the vast assembly who doubted
or would not believe the truth OF any
thing that that brave old savior OF Ten
nessee would say, he desired MIN 10
hold up his hand, he wanted to see MIN.
Immediately the hands of four or hve
hundred freedmen were elevated,
Stokes looked daggeFs, and did not
stop to explain. He VIII hardly re-
neat a similar question without
rTr. Hnr
in his reioinder was perfectly annihilat-
inc. He exposed in the most crushing
and withering terms the hypocrisy Of
Stokes. Brownlow and company in re-
gsrd to the negro. He gave the negroes
present an honest expression OF his views
and intentions, assuring them that he
WIS their friend and desired earnestly
their happiness and welfare, bat that
nothing could indnee him to array them
in hostility to those who had been their
friends and protectors.
The day passed of gloriously for con-
seryatisn! Mr.. Etheridge viii next
speak at Greenviile, where it is under
stood MAYNARD will reply, Stokes going
no further: and no doubt that staunch
supporter Of the blaspheming parson is
heartily sick of the role he assumed
without properly comprehending bis
utter inability TO accomplish the task he
and his master so greatly desired.
ALABAMA ITEMS.
The Tuscaloosa Observer records
eral robberies in that Usually quiet town
within the past two weeks. The same
editor. under the heading "Crnelty to
Man. has pathetic lament over the
swarus of all kinds of flying bugs that
have assailed his sanetutn recently, and
i'm deepair asks il no yank can devise q
plan to save poor knight of the quill
from their terrifying attacks, without
also shutting out the cool air so indispen-
sable to comfort just now.
The Jacksonville RepubticdE says:
We believe news Notwithstanding some
complaint of injury from the fly, that
in this zeotion, rs far as We have heard,
it Is an assured fact that the wheat crop
will be considerably better than for sew
eraI vasrs mast. The gardens are also
doing well, and the weather has contin-
ned seasonable and fayorabs 60 the grow
ing crops of corn, oats, etc.
Near Iarkinsyilie on Sunday morn
ing three negroes went 10 the house Of
a Mr.. Lindsay, TO demand an explsna-
ton for something his s0n had said
about their attendance at the loyal league
meeting the night before. Mr.. Lindsay
ordered them 10 leave, Whereupon one Of
the negroes, named Bill, fred at Mr.
lindsay, who returned the ire aud
mortaliy wounded the negro. Ineonss-
ouence. though there is no doubt Mr..
LINDSAY was Justified, he and his father
have had to Ay for their lives, to escape
the loyal leagaeFs. How long can such
occurrences a. this be tolerated by the
peopls Of the south, even if cOnquersd2
