THE peculiarities of a military
chieftain when playing the part of a
statesman, are well illustrated in
President GRANTS conduct towards
Spain. He employs a quasi soldier
and verbose politician, full Of vanity
and eager for ~nOtOriety, to manage the
delicate questions affecting our rela-
tons with the new Spanish Govern
ment. SICKLEs wrote a note which
excited the ire, as it wounded the
vanity, of the Spaniards, and forth
with troops and a strong naval force
are dispatched from Madrid to Ha-
vana. The first step of our military
President has proven almost IA
tai to CEsPEDEs and JORDAN;
meanwhile, the Spanish Government,
involved in troubles with Peru, and
needing gunbOats to close the bays
and inlets of Cuba, caused them to be
constructed by American ship-build-
ers, in American ports. Gen. GRANT
continues to play the game begun
when he employed SICKLEs, and the
Spanish gunboats r not permitted
to leave American waters. AT the
same time, the Military President
adopts measures by which he secures
possession of a part of San Domingo,
within forty miles and commanding
the Cuban coast. Such is the situa-
ton to-day, and in all probability the
Presidents message will suggest the
necessity for the recognition of the
Cuban resels. This done, we must
have either war with Spain, or
SICKLEs may buy Cuba. In any
event, the whole country is deeply in
terested in the speedy restoration Of
peace in the desolated, w~ar-accursed
island. The products and trade of
Cuba are invaluable to US, and espe-
cially are Southern cities sufferers be-
cause of the present fearful condition
Of affairs in this richest island of the
ocean.

THE CONVENTION
Suggestions and Nominations of the
People.
MEMpn1s. pecember IA.

MEMPHIS, December "a.
Editors appeal: In view of the fact
that the negro suffrage party will
leave no stone unturned to defeat the
Democratic candidates, as is evidenced
by the card they circulated last night
in reference to Col. Dawson and Capt.
DuBose, it behooves us to put forward
our strongest and best men, who Will
unite the white mans party, and l
feel confident that Col. W. H. Steph-
ems will not feel at liberty to decline
if he is unanimously nominated, not
withstanding his card, when he knows
that it is the unanimous wish OF all
good citizens that he should give us
the benefit, at this mOmentous time,
of the great talent he possesses, and l
know that 1 reflect the sentiments OF
the greater portion of the white
men of this community, in asserting
that he is their first choice, and will
you not, therefore, unite with them in
urging him to allow his name to go
before the Convention next Saturday?
DEMOCRAT.

THE agitation Of the negro suffrage
question can do no harm just now.
Its discussion was forced upon the
APPEAL by those who asserted that
in SENTER's election universal suf-
frage was conceded. The question is
settled tomorrow in Mississippi and
Texas, and, in the North, there are
only two parties; one, the white mans
or Democratic; the other, the Radical
or negro suffrage party. Let Tennes-
seeans take care Of themselves and
leave foreign questions, and the Con-
stitutiOnal amendment to those who
must determine its fate. If it be pos
sible, let Us avert caIamities like those
which may overwhelm Mississippi
and Texas.

whether they will set freed slaves to
governing freed masters! The exam
pie Of Louisiana, Texas and Missis-
sippi cannot be over-fairly quoted
against US while acting under dures5'
There is not a State of the South
which will take negro suffrage, except
from force, or apprehension OF injury
They have felt its evils too keenly V
er voluntarily to embrace it. And If
it should be incorporated into the new
Constitution of this State that will be
the reason.
But our neighbor asks "can't
Tennessee indorse what has been in
iicted on Louisiana, Texas and Mis-
s~issippi." We thank him for that
word. The curse which has been
INFLICTED on those three States,
Tennessee may have the power to
" indorse," but we trust has not the
will; but rather the wisdom to refuse.
We think the four years inhictiOn of
this character which the State has al
ready suffered, should be sufficient,
without further voluntary and self
imposed infections of that sort. And
we hope that when the question
comes up, and is fairly consid-
cred in the Convention, the
State will not prove feJO de sc. 1t is
only the remnant Of Radical intiu-
ence and the fear of consequences,
which in our view has begotten a
partisan direction of the matter,
which leads us in the least to doubt
the action of the Convention. What
that may do we cannot, and we know
that no man is able to say, even If he
has been to Nashville. Our neighbOr
saws Tennessee is not so immacu-
late as to scorn what her sisters
are eager to accept and what
is so essential to her peace" How
is il that this infictiOn of which
Tennesseeans used to abhor the very
thought, and which all other South
ern States would gladly be rid of,
should be essential to the peace of the
State? Is it essential, because the wis
dom Of the negro is Indispensable to
proper legislation and execution of
the laws? Or is it because a party
formed on the universal suffrage basis
is determined to rule or ruin through
the negrOg If the XVIII Amendment
is an unconstitutional iniquity" as
it affects US, how much better is the
voluntary embrace Of negro suffrage,
which, as proposed to be adopted in
Tennessee, accOmplisheS the same
thing? We think that most of our
people, when they swallowed the ne
gro as an equal and peer, would pre-
fer to self-degredation that it should
be forced by that amendment. But
be that as it may, this is certain, that
the question OF negro suffrage Is one
of great and vital consequence to the
future of the State, and one which
should be controlled by the interest
and the advantage Of no party, but in
the highest wisdom for the good of the
generations to come. We do not be-
lieve the Radical party has the power
to force on Tennessee what it cannot
force on New York, Maryland, Ken
lucky or Ohio. The threat of partisan
injury to Tennessee should not deter
the Convention from a measure which
the welI-being of the State requires.

Col. J. D. c. ATKINS, of the Paris
HlteUigeacer, laughs at the idea Of Con-
gressional interference with Tennessee
in case it should dare to adopt a Re
publican Constitution, restricting the
franchise to white men. He says Con-
gress is no more to be feared than is
a dead lion" There are some who
are setting up that bugaboO, as if Con-
gress could do in relation to one of the
States of the Union what it dared not
and could not do with another.

WI very much regret to see the
situation into which the Little Rock
road has been thrown, a shown by
the special from Little Rock, which
appears in our Geographic column.
That the progress Of the road is to be
suspended to await a process Of litiga-
ton, and that Mr.. BRTNKLEY should
be prevented from completing the
great work in which he has toiled un-
der many difficulties for years, is to
be regretted as unfortunate to the
public. We hope some remedy may
yet be found, so that the money can
be raised and the road completed.

THE returns from the river counties
in Mississippi come in slowly, and the
full returns are not likely to be re-
ceived for several days. That AL
CORN is elected is hardly doubtful.
So far as the mere man is concerned
that is nothing. The whole mischief
was done by nominating a carpetbag-
ger, and putting forth a platform of
principles which a not inconsiderable
portion of Mississippians would not
support. The platform vas a false
one, and did not express the true SEN
timents of the State, or even of the
mehwho put it forth. We hope this
lesson will teach our neighbors that
honesty is the best policy in a politi-
cal as well as ~pecuniary point of view.
