the Iowa Bill. 1t Is not q bill for pay

duty by the President in compliance
with law Of Congress made for this spe-

officer visited Iowa, obtained personal

1t appears from the official records
here that it cost the United States Gov

troops placed in the field by that State
than those from any other State; and
most of the States represented by the
members who have opposed the bill on
the floor Of the House, have received
: two or three times as much pro rate

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-06-04

THE New York Tribune in a lucid
interval warns the Texas Republicans
that killing men will never teach
men not to AA-that prescription
will never prevent prescription"
Furthermore, it warns them that they
must not look to the Federal Govern
ment to keep them evermore in power
and their late prosecutors under foot,
and adds, "they forget that our Gov
eminent must be republican or des-
and that a rule based on the
prescription of full third of the adult
males-this third comprising two
thirds of the property, with a very
share of the natural alb ility, ex-
perience, and intelligence, which are
presumed to fit men for a respectable
participation in ~pOlitics-is question
ably republican. 1t may do-nay, it
'aust-in the immediate presence of a
formidable rebellion; it cannot be
maintained indefinitely after that re-
has thrown down its arms"

WE publish on our first page the
particulars, from the New York Her.
aid, Of an outrage upon the Confede-
rate dead resting at Arlington, perpe-
trated by a Lieutenant and guard of
marines. Nothing more outrageous
of every sense of decency, prOpriety,
and Christian feeling has ever come to
our knowledge. Its disgraceful; and
this Lieutenant, if not acting under
orders from a superior, should at once
be dismissed from the service. In all
countries, larbarous as well as civil
lied, the dead are sacred and esteemed
above the malice or vindictiveness
of those living; and, as was the case
here in Memphis where ex-Federal
and eX-Confederate soldiers visited the
cemeteries and participated together
in the ceremonies commemorative of
the Confederate and Federal dead, the
true soldier has ever revered themem-
DRY OF the fallen enemy as only less
dear to him than that of bis own dead.
The officer who could thus so disgrace
his profession as to give way to his
prejudices or eyenlend himself to the
Prejudices of his superiors is unworthy
to command men or WELD a
sword in the defense of the
Republic. The moral sense of the
country is shocked at this outrage, and
the demand should and win 90 up
all true hearts, whether North
ern or Southern, for his prompt dis
missal as a recreant to the high and
noble impulses that ever animate the
true soldier toward a fallen and a
brave foe. A failure of the President
to enforce this demand of the public
will be taken for a confession of par
ticipation in the contemplate conduct
Of his subordinate.

CABALLERO DE RODAs, well known
as the butcher of the Republicans OF
Spain, viii succeed DULcE as Captain
General Of Cuba, and, it is expected,
will inaugnrate a more relentless pol
icy than has yet characterized the
Spanish Government inthat unhappy
island. What that will be, the indis-
criminate murder of men, women and
children, Of both eolors, by DULeE's
eonniyance, viii tell. For this, how
ever, we have compensatory intelli-
gence from Peru, the Congress of
which country have declared the re-
eognition of the Gubans as beIliger-
ents; and it is probable that Mexico
and Others of the Spanish American
republics viii follow. Evidently the
cause of Free Cuba reports progress.

The people and press of Nashville
have for some days been greatly exer-
cised by huge swindle perpetrated
by the carpet-bag managers Of their
cityatfairs. 1t seems that a fraudulent
system Of corporation checks hayebeen
instituted by which the carpet-bag-
gers have been able, after the manner
of the School Fund theft, to gobbIe
$4,000. The chief operator in this
affair is one SILAs +. ALLEN, Chair
man of the Board or Committee of
Finance, and his co-adjutor, or, at
least, one Of his eo-adjut0rs, is one
SAKE, abroker, who when called upon
to explain, cOoIy announced that to
do so would be to expose private
business. Leading citizens and prop
erty owners have, however, taken
steps for the protection of the city;
and the indications are that one
OF the most stupend0us swindles and
robDeries Of the times will be exposed.

IHE BARGE COMPANY.

Memphis is just now making pro-
gress slowly. We are not doing much
in the way of accession Of population,
or in the building line, but we are
gradually recovering our tone and
spirit. We are also picking upalittle
in the way ofnew industries, indicated
in our Oil mills, the purchase of the
Dry Docks-which will occasion an
addition of fully tive hundred persons
10 our producing population-and the
permanent establishment of a Barge
Company for the cheapening lof
freights. This last is to be organized
to-day at the Office of STRATToN,
COVER & Co., one of the most respec-
table and reputable business houses of
our city. We understand that those
who have taken stock in this enter
prise represent our most energetic and
thrifty merchants and moneyed men /;
among the latter a few who, by their
experience in the steamboat business,
have achieved high reputation for
practical ability, such as is necessary
in the prosecution of the affairs Of
such an organization. We hail this
Barge Company as of as much impor-
tanee to the interests and future of our
city as the Dry Docks, perhaps more,
since its successful operation will en-
able shippers and merchants to for
ward and receive their freights at a
rate that will greatly lessen their cost
to the consumer. We understand that
the. difference in charges by the Barge
Company and those now made by the
steamboats, plying to and from Mem.
phis will be as 81 to 81 80 per ton by
the former and S. to So by the latter.
This will be a great saving; that may
and will, we hope, be doubled when
the company shall have put itself in
communication with all the points on
our water courses where Memphis a
find a custOmer-doubled, inasmuch
as it may be realized by the wholesale
merchant here and his customer
abroad. In st. Louis, and wherever
else the barge system has been tried,
it has been found fully as beneficial to
the mercantile community Is these
figures indicate. Under the manage
ment of practical men who are at the
disposal of this enterprise, it may be
made equally so here. We hail, then,
this Barge Company as an evidence
that we are recovering our tone and
spirit; that our merchants are fully
alive to the impediments that have
heretofore prevented their successful
competition with other cities, and that
they are determined to clear them
from the track. Success to the Barge
Company.

IT appears by the Havana c ores
pendent of the New York Tribune
that the brief liberty Of speech and of
the press given to the island by Cap
tain General DULcE was accorded for
the treacherous purpose of ascertain
ing the sentiments Of The Cuban Re
publicaBs, and fatally compromising
them. Plentyoof Republicans were
caught inthe trap thus set for them,
and most ifnotquite all of their chiefs,
open or covert, have been sent to pris-
ON or exile.
