MEMPHIS APPEAL
TIE IMPEACHnTENT.

We find the following in the New
York Times:
A rather good story has leaked out. in which
| the principal act0rs were Senator Grimes, OF
| Iowa, and Mr.. GTiunelI ex-member of Con
gresS 4 ON the same State. IL appears that By
/ some unaccountable means the radical guard
ians OF the country who have their being ia
| the state Of Iowa, became possessed of the Idea
| that Senator Grimes had manif,s sted sdisposi-
! ton, during the Impeachment Trial, 10 consider
| only the evidence brought forth for apd against
/ the articles uf impeAt hment, entirely losing
sight II the wishes Of The Republican party; or,
| % express il as they did IN Iowa "gOing back
on Them" Under this impression they took
counsel together for the purpose OF adopt ing
seme methOd OF acqusinting Senator Grimes
wite just what they expected or him when the
final vote comes 70 be taken. A budget of
documents was prepared with view TO the
corr ecilOn OF Mr. crimes supposed divergence
from the Radical path TO the untram ,Delled
control Of the country. and the papers were en-
trusted TO the care of hfr. CfriDneli-wnO, ID will
be remembered, is The gentleman that suffered
AZ the hands Of General Rousseau-to bring TO
Washington and lay bef-re Senator Grimes.
Mr.. Grinnel reached here safely yesterday,
but was unfortunate enough TO lose his carpet

Mr.. Grinneu lad no recourse let but TO present

to fail not IN casting his vote Tor touvic; ION

trate, has ever before been put to use,
and the use svowed, in this world. These
assaults upon the integrity and common
honesty and regard for their oaths, of
Senators, not ashamed of or rebuked,
make the trial such PROCLAMATION of the
forms Of justice, as would disgrace the
pitifullest County Court in the United
States.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
The Charleston Mercury says /:

Inc charleston mercury says:
The States south of Mason and Dixon,s
line are neither more out nor more IN the
sO-called Union than they were on the
day before, or the day after the surrender
OF Gen. LEE. We are denied admission.
and the denial t0i2 be accepted. The on
ly two States who have yet voted on the
question Of Radical reconstruction have
promptly and deeisively declined to ac-
cept it upon those terms. The end is no
nearer-the Union is still dissolved. The
Government at Washington, sctuatpd
by passion and prejudice, and reckless
lust of power, holds the States still at
arms length from each other, and still
feeds the feeling of mutual distrust, and
adds bitterness to bitterness.
1t is just as well, men of the North
that you should understand now, as at
any other time, the people of the South
e771 States do not intend to be ruled bg ne
QroeS. 1t is the purpose Of the United
states government to negroize the South
ern States, they may as well know now
as any other time, that it has to be done
Nth the 6oyolaet and has to be preserved
lOith the 6GyORet IN all time to come
This Southern people do not intend to bs

The policy Of the Radical destructiyes
renders perpetual standing army In the
ten Southern States. The nineteenth
century, with all its bloody follies, will
have sunk into the grave of the past,
and Radical reconstruction will not vet
have been accomplished. What crimes.
what upheavals of society and Govern
ments, what destruction of national and
individual property it will effect, it is
impossible now distinctly to forsee. But
that this policy, If pursued, will in one
shape or another evolve these calamities
there is little room for doubt.
Earnestly solicitous as the Southern
people are in good faith to abide the re-
suit of unfavOrable war, and to meet
fairly the issue of defeat, in yielding an
honest aequiescence to the promises
upon which the war was declared to be
fought by the United States Government

A distinguished Ex-Governor OF Ohio,
famous for story telling, relates that on
one occasion, hile he was addressing &
temperance meeting st Georgetown, d.
c., and depicting the miseries caused by
too freely induIging in the flowing bowl,
his attention was attracted by the sobs of
a diseonsolate and ssedy-lOoking indi-
vidual seated in the rear psrt of the
room. On going to the person and inter-
rOgating him, the Governor was told the
usual tale Of woe among other sad Incl
dents, that during his career Of vice he
had bHried three wives. The Governor
having buried q few wives of his own,
sympsthiZed deeply with the inebriste,
and consOled him as much as it was in
his power. Said he, "The Lord has in
deeddeeply afflicted you" The mourner

continued, "but don't think the Lord

What Foreigners Think.

The ablsst Of the English periodicals,
the Westminster Rsvieis, which, during the
rebellion, had a sufficient appreciation oi
the issues Of the war to lead it 70 espouse
the Union cause, continues to exhibit an
intelligent understanding of the situation.
Speaking Of the work Of reconsruction, il
says
The Americans are. at the present mo-
ment substantially engaged in conflict.
which we, as Englishmen, carried on for
many generations. When we boast Of our
liberties, We make them to repose Oh the
ultimate and final victory, which the legis-
lative power has at last gained over the ex-
ecutiye. To speak of the Northern Amer
leans as tyrannizing over the South, in a
spirit Of revenge, is at once to show that
the history Of particular conflict is mis-
taken for the general tone Of feeling. No
defeated party was ever offered milder or
more just terms Of reconciliation than were
offered to the South at the termination of
the war, If the republican party have
committed any excesses, they have been
driven to them by the President. The
blows that have fallen on the South have
been invited by him, aud forced in self de-
tense on men who approached their enc
