Without reckoning deficit of 100000, 600,
the Rdppcl calculates that the Empire has been
in fourteen years liberal to the tune of s., no.
G30,407. Now let us compare the Empire with
the Republic, or the costs of personal govern
ment with those of impcrsonal government. A
French publicist, in very recent and valua-
bic paper, reveals the wide financial gulf be-
tween French Empire and United States self
rule. Our President at the White House receives
salary of $4,000; Napoleon, $50 900 in gold,
and has besides twelve imperial residences so
that the extra revenues of the Emperor are to
the Presidents as 2l9 tol /, or, to vary our
expression. it would take 2l2 years for the ex-
penses OF the President to equal those OF the
Emperor for one. year. The French war esti-
mates were sl3O,GOO,OOO; those of the United
States, on peace footing S37,0OO,OO0 In
France the cost of public education in 1868
was S4,30O164, and in 1862 in the United States
was S4@,S0O34O. The salary of the late Mar
shall Valiant was ten times that of Gen. Grant,
and even Gen. Fleury was paid more than the
President OF tho United States. We don't

CLERK OF CIRCUIT COURT
A. Il. BeVykirk VS.. M. ID. l..
Stewart.
NewlkIfk ~NOnpIused.

Below will be found the opinion of the
Chancellor delivered in the case Of State
Of Tennessee, ex rel, a. B. Newkirk vs..
NJ. d. l.. Stewart. This was a bill filed
by the relator, Newkirk, asking to be
! indicted into the ofice of Clerk of the
Circuit Court OF Shelly county, TO which
Office he claims to have been duly elected
on the 7th of March, 1868. The bill also
/ seeks to epjOin the defendant, Stewart,
the present incumbent Of said Office, who
was duly elected to I'LL Inc same in
! March, 1868, for the constitutional
term OF four years." from collecting and
/ receiving the fees and emoluments OF
said once, and from further exercising
and disoharging the rghts and duties OF
the same.
r The case came up for. hearing on de-
murrer, which was sustained and bill
dismissed.
The opinion of the court is as follows &:
Ehe demurrer must be sustained on
two grounds Eirst, by Judgment OF the
Circuit Court In the esss OF Aeehan VS..
| Stewart, it was j~udicially determined,
after an investigation OF the facts, that
Stewart " was duly elected Clerk of the
+; Circnit Court of Shelby county for the
| constitutional tsr9 Of four years. from
March, 1886. Now, the Gircgit Court is
the proper tribunal to determine the
IN .siion then presented to it, and the
effect of the judgment was to invest
! Stewart, who was declared by the jddg-
mept duly elected, with the right to the
ofice-Code, art. 10, page 225, and par
tieulsriy sec. 80. This judgment hay
ing been on q contest was a judicial act
! of the Court-DOdd w. Weaver, 2 Sneed,
87U-and not q ministerial act, as the
now induction toto office without a con
test may be- Sneed, Isl. This iudg-
mens was subject to revision therefore,
bat until reversed is gnal and conclusive.
| 1t is true this TelstOr could not appeal or
prosecute 8 writ of error from said judg-
ment, and it ma be that no u could,
but this cannot affect the conc,uslveness
Of the Judgment. Stewart, by this
Judgment, vas therefore entitled to the
office; and the election OF EeWktrk was
merely void.
Sscondly-Equelly conclusive against
Eewkirk is the judgment of the Circuit
Court Of March I, 1868. On his spplica.
ton to be indicted into office, there q
contest arose between-H ewkirK and the
Circuit Court the proper tribunal to de-
termine the question, decided it in favor
of Stewart aud refused to indnot New
kirk. From this judgment Newkirk
could certainly have appealed, under the
authority OF Dodd vs. Weaver, and the
judgment, unless Rspealed from, is con
elusive against him.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
OFFICE OF THE DAILY APPEAL. |
MKAPHIs. January q, 1919. !

FINANCE.
Money matters were quiet to day a.
they usually are on the last day OF tbs
week. In the way Of local scrip OF
bonds we could learn of no transaction
worthy Of especial note. City Scrip
though firm is not in demand by tax
payers, and dealers buy only such small
pieces az are offered under the market
rates, anticipating an Improvement in
the demand which it is thought will
begin a few days before the 1st prox.
City Bonds are quiet. A small sale
was made to a broker during the day at
52e, but sic was the offering rate with
only one or two dealers expressing any
desire to buy. The decline Is attributa-
bic to the action Of the Governor, which
has caused q want Of confidence in ali
State and municipal securities not at all
to wonder at.
In County Warrants there is no
change. Brokers buy at zoe and sell at
as TO amount.
The Exchange market is we'll supplied
and the demand very fair. Our banks
report money easy, and all good cotton
bills are taken readily at the usual rates.
Several cotton buyers have made their
arrangements to purchase during the
week, which we expect will be
an active a in financial circles.

A MsmphIan the victim.

Ihs most outrageous case of Tu Hlux-
ism that we have yet heard OF is mar
rated as follows, by the Nashville Ran
ner of Friday. Morrison must have
carried with him q supply Of friend
Hoeyner's "Ku-Klux." Says the Ban
nee;
LAST evening at an hour not later
than eight O'Clock, q stranger, who gave
his name, occupation and residence as
A. J. Morrison, carriage trimmer, Mem
phis, made his appearance in q well
known saloon on the Public Square and
attempted to excite the sympathies of q
number of gentlemen, by nRrrating q
pitiful story as having occurred to him
at the hands OF the ku kluX, 80 prepos-
ferrous in itself, that it never had the
slightest semblance of origin save in his
own imaginative brain. He stated that
while en- route for this place, yesterday,
the Ku-KIux took him off the train at
Pulaski at EJe O'clock Ia the eyensRg, car
ried him si1 miles IN the country, robbed
him Of everything he had, even to his
ha'. He then Wdlked from there heTS
and narrated his story at the hour before
mentioned. The story was 80 eyre
giously false that two gentlemen stand
ing near by, in order to test him, cross
examined him to such an extent hat he
at length absolutely swore that his stste-

fact that there is no 5 p m. train north

denee OF the pFoneness OF some people
to lie and misrepresent, and rs such we
give it. It was evident enough that he
got up the romence to create sympathy
for himself, for in concluding be eE-
pressed his intention OF o~anvassiDg the

THE MILITIA.
a suggestion from the People.

Since the public alton of the militi
bill aud The Governors message, the ab
sor0 ng topic of conversation amonI
thinking men-especially the older ant
more faTseeing of our citiZsns-has beer
the danger of q civil war, which jus
10Y seems unavoidable. Merchants
lawyers, indeed all classes, foresee the
impending ruin, and ~deprecate the rash
cruel and unnecessary step. No human
mind a calculate the damage that viii
accrue to every branch of political, So
eial and domestic Ii il it is taken. The
courts, already ologgsd and retarded,
will be compelled to come to q complete
stand still commerce will suffer In
every branch; merchants from abroad
viii refuse to send their goods hither ;
the men needed in the country to cult
vate the fields will, instead, be lounging
around the barracks or plundering the
country In fact, "all will be awry."
We are convinced, however, that il our
citizens, without distinction Of political
creeds, will make an effort these horrors
may DO averted. The Sheriff of U
county, Mr.. Curry, has asserted, we un-
derstand, that the measure is unneces-
sary so far as Shelby county is concerned,
at least and il he and a few others Of
like influence in his party will take the
matter in hand, call a public meeting,
and state these facts to their party in the
Legislature, or to the Governor, the
troops will not be sent here. We there
fore suggest that a public meeting Of all
GLASSES be called, and a public expression
or sentiment solicited.
As pertinent to the above we publish
the following from . respected citizen
MEMPHIS. TENN, January p, 1869.
Eiiters Memphis, Appeal:
The counsel given in your leader of to-
day Ia wise and timely. When Brown
lows militia come amongst US, let every
care be taken to give them no shadow OF
q preteXt for outrage and violence. "Let
them serenely alone" and If they are
under the control Of human commanders
they will have nothing TO do. Let Us
conduct ourselves g o that any action on
their part will be utterly and entirely
