SOMETHING NEw.-H. Wetter q Co.,

received shipment of stoves of the
latest improved styles. The "Torch-
light" is beauty and an improvement
on Office and parlor heaters now in use.
The little "Fireside" is a combination
of the stove and CRATE, and is an orna-
mental gem. If you have concluded to

As the gentlemen signing the above
card have thought best to hand it to us
for publication, and as correction may be
proper enough, we give place to it. But
we do not care to hold cotemporary to
rigid account for the very words of
every item which msy appear in the rush
of publication of city daily. 1t is like
off-hand speaking, for errors in which the
literally minded are always disposed to
make many allowances. If the extract
quoted is Objectionable, it is on the
ground that itimplies blssphemy. Had
it come from the bishop, the dean or the
rector it would have been particularly
censurable as well as indefensible. That
no such thing could have been DELHI
erately intended by the writer is, we
think, too evident to need illustration.
In the absence Of all motive to give
offenss to the religious community, such
a thing is not to be hastily presumed Of
any intelligent man. Aud for the rest,
liable as we all are to error, we are will
ling to take the word of caution which the
reverend gentlemen offer to the Appeal,
IS necessary to ourselves and all others
as well. take care" is no bad motto.

EDITORS LEDGER: We desire To call
the attention of your readers to the fol-
lowing local item in the Appeal of the
18th of September:
Yesterday was one of the darkest
and ssddest days that we have ever ex-
perieuced. A feeling of settled gloom
seemed to pervade all nature, the skies
were dark and gloomy, and each face
that we met bore upon it evidences of o
depression of spirit saddening in the ex-
treme. Providence seems to be trying
to see how much misfortune and attic
ton it will still take to drive the people
10 a state of total despair. We have
stood almost every affection that the
most malignant demon could wish to
afflict people with---wsr, famine, pesti-
lence, drouth, floods, horde of thieves
worse than the swarms of locusts and
lice that sffl cited Egypt, and we have
borne up under them without q murmur.
How much longer are we to be cursed 7"
As citizens, Christians and Southern
men, we protest against the spirit OF the
above extract. We are friends of the Mem
phis Appeal, personally, but we believe
that it does the South, the party it advo-
Gates, and Christianity very great wrong
by such publication. If the Appeal 10
sinuates for one moment that the spirit OF
this extract is the spirit of the Southern
people and his insinuation is true, then
woe woel woe to the South. We may
defy men, bat we are not prepared to
defy Providence, and when the Memphis
appeal does so, it will please speak for
the individuals who conduct it.

Gen. Grants Views Of the Republican
Platform.


A statement made by a gentleman, in
whom may be placed implicit reliance,
and who enjoys excellent opportunities
to enable him to speak inteligently on
the subject, may give some indication of
Gen. Grants position in relation to the
Republican party. He states that after
the General was nominated he sat Tor
quite long time carefully reading and
pondering upon TIE platform adopted by
the convention; that he finally expressed
to his confidential friends that he
did not like it, and was in great doubt
whether he would accept the nomination
on that platform. This coming to the
ears of certain leaders of the party, they
fastened to call upon the General, who
stated to them his objections to the plat
form. This intelligence was received
with no little CONSERVATION by his
visitors, who feared that Grant enter
tanned the intention of declining the
nomination. They at once opened upon
him with every conceivable argument
they could bring forward to induce him
to accept, one of which arguments was
that the platform need not be regarded
by him in so serious a light--it was
simply an enunciation of the general
principles of the party, necessary only
to make up the issues Of the cam
paign. They urged him to accept at all
events, and to say nothing more about
the platform. Many other arguments of
a similar character were used, il is said,
which gave Grant to understand that
they wanted him to accept the nomiua-
ton, if even il had to be on a platform Of
his own adoption Washington tele-
gram in Nesc York Herald.

Not Hopsful-But Happy.

The Louisville Courier Journal says !:
"We shall make no fsctious opposition
to either the Radical President or the
Radical Congress. We shall in no case
oppose for opposition's sake. We shall
judge measures and policies by what
they are, and not by any considerations
of their origin. If we think policy
right, we shall give it sincere and
earnest support even though its author
be the worst and most dangerous of all
the enemies of the country. We hope
that both Congress and the new
President will do better than they
have done. If we were to say
that we believe they will, We should
belle our belief. The late triumph
of the Radicals, unless they read its in
dications with more sagscity and wis
dom than we think they possess, is cal
culated to incite them to excesses even
wilder and worse than those which they
have hitherto practiced, and we look for
no restraining power until, in better
days than these, such power shall be put
forth by an aroused nation; conscious
of its peril. Congress and its President
have pledged themselves to very little,
and even that little we do not expect
them to do. Probably they will not do
the good to which they are pledged, but
a great deal of evil to which they are not

Capt. Sheafe Defeated.

This will be startling announcement
to those of our people who are not fa-
miliar with the disbolical scoundrelism
of the Radicals. The official returns
from the counties in this district show a
majority of over six hundred for Capt.
Sheafe; yet the Radical manipulators,
not satisfied with the frauds already per-
petrated in the name of loyalty, have
seen proper to throw out the vote at Man
chester, which gave Sheafe two hundred
and ninety-six and Tillman three, and
the vote of two precincts in Coffee
county-which also gave large msjorities
for Sheafe-thereby electing Tiilman by
about two hundred majority.
Can it be possible that we are to sub
nit to such villainies as this2 Are the
people of Tennessee cowardly dogs, that
they can thus be kicked about with i'm
punity by a set of imported scoundrels,
such as compose a large majority of
office holders in Tennessee Is.it pos
sible, we ask in the name of liberty, in
the name of justice, in the name of all
that is dear to freemen-is it possible
that there is no help for this kind of rob-

end Of the empire, there must have been
at least q million brought into Italy,
though this is most probably but a very
moderate estimate These must have
mixed in with the white race to such an
extent that under the empire there must
have been many mulattoes.
What has become of this negro blood
There is certainly no trace of it now to
be found in Italy, whose inhabitants are
entirely free from the slightest tsint of it
ss are those Of Sweden. The theory that
it might have been so diluted with white
blood as to be at this time untraceable,
is simply absurd for every one who has
studied the subject of races, or observed
the effect of mixture, knows that the
original type, il it exists at all, will crop
up from time to time in a most unmis-
taxable manner, down to the thouSandth
generation.
In Egypt there were also immense
numbers of slaves imported from the
negro tribes on its borders, from the
days OF the early monuments down to
the present time. But though there
exist a few mulattoes, descended from
the importa.ions of the last two hundred
years, yet among the bulk of the inhabi-
tants of Egypt there are no traces what
ever of negro blood. Indeed, consider
ing the large number of negro slaves in
Egypt, at all times, this freedom from
admixture in that country is even much
more remarkable than in the case OF
Italy.
There is one way of accounting tor
these facts, and but one, and that is, that
so different are the Caucasian and Afri-
can races that they cannot be perma-
nently mingled together. The mixture
produces q being which, il not a partial
hybrid, is at least so subject to disease
that it can be propagsted to but few
generations, when it dies out We see
this tendency in this country almost
forcibly shown in the small number OF
the descendants of mulattoes Now aud
then we see a ouadroon in Virginia, very
seldom an octoroon, and beyond that de-
gree the blood cannot be said to exist at
all. ~
1t is this tendency of the mongrel to
die cut that has destroyed all traces Of
negro blood among the Indians and
Egyptians. Those OF them who were
sprung from the negroes died out many
centuries ago, leaving the original stock
as perfectly pure as if there had never
been an African imported into either
Rome or the kingdom of the Pharaohs.
And thus will it be in the South. Not
only will the pure negro race vanish from
the earth in the course of very few gen.
erations, from causes which must make
every inferior race disappear, but not
even the slightest admixture of blood will
be left among US; the same effects will
result in the South as in Italy and Egypt,
and there will not be left trace, save in
history, of the African race having ever
existed in America. -NorfoM Journal
