Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-06-22

the last few days, we are free TO say
we regret that Journalism in Knox
wne VIII lose the contributions of one
who has, not only as local of the
Daily Whig, but of the Weekly, for
many months before the establish
ment ofthe Daily, gives to the PAPER
a great deal of the responsibility
which, despite its political character,
it has enjoyed"
The Press and Times, referring to
the article of the GAINESVILLE Patriot,
showing that the negroes have no
constitutional right to vote, says:
"While not yet prepared fully to en-
dOrse the construction placed by the
Patriot upon the Constitution of Ten
nessee, we nevertheless believe its
views entitled to the grayest eonside
ration Of thinking men, This is the
most important admission yet made
by a Radical journal.
The National onion predicts that
SENTER will divide the vote of Greene
county with STOKES, " but like an ac-
quaintance of old Esop, he'll take the
lions share, and leave to the "bald
eagle and night-Owl" those only who
are freed, and those who still continue
that abominable night-howling prac-
tiee. And this, not that they love
| SENTER more, but The double hero of
the DUNCAN letter and iron-clad oath,
much less.
The Knoxville Press and Herald
says "the more intelligent people of
all parties and colors in Granger
county realize that now is the best
time to restore the people of the State
to their privileges, and are willing to
accord to the DISTINGUISHED credit for
honesty of intention in their present
professions of willingness to let by
cones be by-gones, and unite in the
efforts that are being made to build up
and develop the interests of the State. y
The Nashville Union and American
of Saturday says: Col. GRESHAM,
Chief of staff on the forthcoming
STOKES paper, (the Tennessee State
Journal and who, by the way, is a
clever gentleman in all things, poll
ties excepted, has established his head
Quarters for the present in Deadrick
| street, over TERRY WADE's key store.
We have his authority for saying that
the new organ will soon be out red
hot" for Stokes and the principles OF
the Republican party.
The Huntingdon Vest TenHeSseedR
is very much averse to believing that
the Supreme Court decided that certi-
fcates issued by County Court clerks
will entitle their holders to vote, and
it reminds us that the validity Of such
certificates was in no way before the
| court, stating at the same time that
| Judge SHACKELFORD remarked re-
| Gently that sit was absurd for any
man to suppose that point was covered
| by the decision We cal hardly be-
lieve this and hope the Judge will say
whether he is correctly reported.
SENTER has been particularly and
markedly successful in Sewer county.
4 gentleman who has travelled
through East Tennessee tells the
| Nashville RGUUPP that he thinks
| STOKES will carry that section by tf'
teen thousand majority. A gentle
man informs the Knoxville Wing to
the contrary, and states that SENTER's
| speech i'm Blount changed about three
hundred votes, and 4 letter to the
Knoxville Press and Herald states
that within the past few days the citi-
zens of the upper end Of Knox county
have pretty generally concluded TO
/ cast their votes for SENTEB.
