Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-11-30

For some days there has been an
unusual stir among the New York
CustomhOuse authorities. Frauds
amounting to several millions have
been traced to present and former
Radical employees; perpetrated by
means of false invoices, false returns
by dishonest weigh-masters in the
weight Of imported articles bearing
heavy duties, and corrupt practices in
every department. These are addi-
tiOnal to the BLATCHFoRD frauds,
which are said to foot up over a mil
lion. Altogether it is not too much
to conclude that by connivance of
Radical ofice-holders, leading mem
bers Ofthe Loyal League of New York
have robbed the Government Of many
millions of dollars, and so increased
the burden Of taxation which is de
pressing the poor and weighing
down the industries of the
country. Some of the Radical
presses, smarting under the exposure
of these robberies, are endeavOring to
lay them at the door of Mr.. JoHNsoN's-
administration. This will not go
down with the public, 1t is well
known that all responsibility in ap-
pointments was taken from the Presi-
dent by the Tenure-Of Office Act, orig
mating with the same Radical ring, in
and out Of Congress, who have put
this stolen money in their pockets. 1t
was we'll known in Washington, and
perhaps to the Cabinet of Mr.. JOHN
son, in 1878, that gross frauds and
thefts were everywhere being prac-
ticed by revenue officers, but it was
impossible to reach the rogues so
strongly bolstered and sustained by
the Radical Congressional ring. What
ever, therefore, the robberies, frauds
or corruptions in Office, they belong to
Radicalism, and are Of a piece with
the enOrmities and mal-praetices that
have rendered that party infamous.

WI find the following letter from
Mr.. BRINKLEY in the Little Rock
Gazette. The aspect of affairs, as pre-
scented by him, has a look Of the
gloomy and unfortunate. 1t is i'm
possible that the new Board of Direc-
tors, do what they may, should do
more than Nh. BRINKLEY has accom-
plished (but for their interference to-
wards completing the Little Rock
Railroad. What he states will not be
questioned as true, for he is a gentle
man of well known prObity, az well
as one Of enterprise, l~iberality and
large public spirit. 1t will certainly
furnish reasons for intense regret if this
complication Of matters should retard
the building Of the road through liti-
cation or otherwise. The public in
terest demands that the road should
be GuU, and it will indeed be eX-
tremely unfortunate if private schem-
ings and interests are allowed to in
tertere with 1t:

riage, the effect is seen in the enor-
nous percentage Of illegitimate chill
dren-which, in 1860, in the cities OF
Vienna and Munich, amounted TO
over sixty per cent. Of the entire
number of births Nations that know
not GoD have learned the wisdom Of
that system Of life which the Bible
commends, and which the best men
of every age, and cline, and country
have approved. Luckily, Tennessee
will never be placed among those un-
fortunate countries, semi-civilized and
unclean, in which marriage is not
deemed an institution too divine to
be taxed. 1t were as wise to tax
Christianity, its ministers, prayer
books and temples of the Most High.
This bill will hardly become the law,
and we are only amazed that such a
purpose and means Of mOney-getting
for the plundered State was ever con-
ceived by one who occupies the place

er Christian, nor philosopher, nor
statesman.

a PROPOSITION has been made in
the Legislature TO impose a tax Of ten
dollars on marriage licenses. 1t
were infinitely wiser to give a bo-
nus Of Eve hundred dollars to every
newly-wedded pair. To place an i'm
pediment in the way Of marriage is
hardly less criminal than would be the
prefer Of a premium to concubinage.

A BILL for the opening of Hatchie
river, by placing a draw in the bridge
of the Memphis and Ohio road at its
crossing of that stream, has been in
troduced before the Legislature. The
information we have is that this is due
to the planting community on and
near the river, and that the advan-
tages to be derived from it will be
greatly in excess of the damage and
inconvenience to the railroad. The
draw would not be needed often, and
hardly ever except for three or four
fan and winter months. We suppose
the bill will pass, and we are led to
the belief that this accommodation to
the planters ought to be granted.

The Latest Rebellion.

In explanation of the rebellion on
the part of the people of the Red
River country, the New York SIN
says:
The Dominion has purchased the
rights and privileges of the Hudson's
Bay Company over the Red River re-
gion, and contracted to pay a large
sun therefor. On the completion OF
this purchase MI. McDougall was APP
pointed Governor by the Canadian
Cabinet. and set out for his province,
whence he has recently been driven
by the incensed cOlonists.
The people deny that this transfer
Obliges them to submit to the rule of
Canada, unless their consent be first
obtained; and they refuse this con-
sent, unless they are guaranteed the
right to elect their own Legislature,
with power to pass acts over the veto
of the Executive; the right of Legis-
lative sanction to all local law; a free
homestead and pre-emption law; and
a peaceful Indian policy. Finally,
they ask, in addition to these guaran-
ties, that the question of annexation
shall be submitted to the people and
determined by ballot.
Substantially, then, the inhabitants
OF the Red River. Territory say that
they may consent that Canada shall
appoint their Executive, if she will
assure them a free form of cover
ment, such as they can certainly
maintain if they do not enter the Do
minion.

Rock, county of Pulaski and State Of
Arkansas.
This transaction put an end to all
further negotiations, except the pur-
chase of one thousand tons OF iron
and all necessary fastenings for the
same, which was concluded, and the
money deposited in the hands OF a
trustee to pay Over to the vendors
when the iron should be delivered;
for after the transaction referred to no
one would think of dealing with the
railroad, further than money was paid
or deposited to pay.
This great distTust grew out OF the
impression that the late movement
had received the sanction not only of
the city and county officials, but that
of the highest authority of the State
government. This impression l en-
deavored to combat and refute, by the
argument that such things were rarely
interfered with by high officials, and
the most which could be said against
them was inattention and want of
knowledge of their proceedings.
Parties proposing to purchase securi-
ties and dealing otherwise with the
Iepll6us IL ltidt was 81 INC
proper authorities could easily settle
the question by defining their posi-
tions, and until that was done negotia-
tions were not to be entertained. That
they did not propose to deal in doubt
full securities or such as could not be
recommended as first class; and that
such as l offered could not, under the
circumstances, be so regarded. They
were not willing to recommend or be
instrumental in placing upon the
markets securities involved, or which
might become involved, in litigation.
l do not believe the bonds of Ar
kansas would now command within
334 per cent. what they would have
commanded before the commence
ment of this extraordinary proceed
ing.
1t is much easier to pull down than
build up credit, and l think these gen.
tlemen may have the satisfaction of
knowing that they have destroyed in
one day what has required years of
effort and toll to establish-goOd credit
at home and abroad.
Respectfully,
r. c. BRINKLEY.

any journal south of Mason and Dix

veteran editor and successful agricul-

WE CANNOT too earnestly or too per
sistently urge upon u merchants,
mechanics and property-hOlders the
importance Of subscribing to retain
the White River Packet Line, so admit
rabIy managed by Capt. ADAMS. Tn
less the amount necessary (S73,000) to
increase the capital to 100000 is at
once forthcoming, we are likely to lose
this line, and to see transferred to st.
Louis all right, title and interest in it.
This done and Memphis al only, by
years of hard toll and labor, recover
the trade she Is certain to be relieved
of, and which she enjoys only by the
energy that has hitherto char
acterized the officers and stock
holders of the White River
Packet Company0We must
not let st. Louis capital rob US of
what is so valuable, as to be beyond
any money competition. With the
Barge Line in operation and the pro-
posed line to Vicksburg, this White
River Line may and will become
more important to us than any of our
existing railroad lines. We must
have that $4,000 or our merchants
must prepare to lose the White river
trade. Landlords and mechanics, in
deed all our people, are interestedin
the maintenance of the White River
Packet Company, and therefore
should subscribe, according to their
means, towards preventing its ruin
and the loss ola trade that is as i'm
portant and profitable to Memphis as
any she now enjoys from any other
section. The man that can subscribe
and take stock in this company and
yet refuses, stands in his own light
and turns his back upon Memphis.

THE COMING CONVENTION.

Editors appeal: In the suggestion
of the many names of persons, suita-
BILE on account of an intelligent abili-
ty, for our Constitutional Convention,
l have as yet seen no names from the
country.
But l cannot think the omission
upon your part to mention suitable
names from the country arises from
any disposition to do your many
friends in the country an Intentional
injustice, by excluding them from a
fair and equal representation in our
! Convention; mol can l think it arises
from any ignorance that we of the
country have many men among US
who will make safe and able law
makers; but / think the omission to
mention the names of parties from the
country is simply an oversight upon
your part.
And, as it seems to be the general
understanding that for once the office
is to seek the man, no one Will for
a moment be cOuntenanced on this
occasion who thrusts himself forward
seeking the position.
l take the liberty, Messrs. Editors,
of mentioning several names (but not
to the prejudice of any not named)
that l think will at once be received
as suitablefOr the occasion; such, for
instance, as Thomas G. Biakely,
Henry 7. Jones, VIM. H. Walker,
Job II. GOOdlett, Esqs., and Capt.
Amos. B. Haynes.
The last name l would particularly
recommend as eminently fitted for
the duties that he will be called upon
to discharge in the Convention, hav-
ing been for years a successful practi-
toner at the Memphis bar, and since
his retirement from the legal profess
sion, a liberal and successful planter
Of our county, and is a heightened,
christian gentleman.
As to any opinion the above named
persons may entertain upon the ques-
ton of universal suffrage, lam unable
to speak, but recommend them as men
by no means strangers to the people
ofthe country, and of known practical
worth, and whose prudence, mOdera-
ton and respect for their constituency
would forbid TO allow, by their con-
sent, any measure to become a part of
the organic law of the State that
would be Odious and Objectionable to
the masses of u volunteer State.
LITTLE MACK.
November %, 1863.
If men from the country are presen-
ted for nomination for the Convention
who are equally qualified with any in
town, there should be no opposition
to.their being selected. But we must
protest that qualification should be
the criterion-nOt the place of resi-
dence. We'care not where the man
comes from, nor to what class of our
citizens he may belong-but this only,
whether he is a suitable, available and
qualified man.
