PRESIDENT GRANT, before resignine
his position Rs General Of the Army.
promulgated, by consent Of the Secre-
tary OF War, q general order interchaDg-
ing the regimental officers Of the several
regiments of the army. BY the opera
ton Of this singular order, the officers Of
the 18th Infantry, at present serving in
Memphis, and who are well and favor.
ably known to our citizens, will in a few
days, leave for Arizona, for duty with
the regiment Of infantry commanded by
Gen. CRIrTENDEN. Maize en-. Cor
DON GRANGER, will, we regret to say,
accompany his of1csrs. This will be
anything but welcome news to our citi-
Gems. The services Of Gen. GRANGER,
within the past two year,, have en-
titled him to and won for him the re-
gard Of the people Of Memphis. In
every respect he has besn as enc Of us.
His ohctrs, toe, have responded with
alAcrity to the performance Of every
duty that could insure to Us
peace and freedom from the
restraints Of martial law so summarily
inflicted upon other communities in the
State. We part with these gentlemen
with regret, and hope that those to take
their places will be animated by the spirit
and good will towards our people that
have characterized them during their
term OF service In Memphis.

Cor the term provided by the first Sec
Ton.
These officers, (Sherih, Trustee, Rsgi.
ter, etc. are constitutional officers, and
The election provided for Oy the Consti-
luton, is to occur every two years. The
office eff County Commissioner is a statu-
toryofiee, andan election is tooccur every
year. u is clear that the Constitution
never had in view any other election, in
the language used, (the first election for
qnyaof the county o1icersD than that for
the constitutions al officers, which is pro-
vided for every two years.
We will say more than this. The
people are perfectly satisfied with the
present incumbency. The election, to
occur on Saturday, does not promise to
improve upon the present worthy and
faithful officer, Mr., Jos. J. POWERS.
His legal right to the Office, in our Judg-
ment, is well secured; and we do not
recognize the propriety Of the Demo-
cratic party, at least, attempting to Gust
him from q position which he fills to the
perfect satisfaction Of the people, and
from which there is not the shadow Of
law or justice In endeavoring to emOve
him

WORK WHILE liz rs nAY

The future of Shelby county and Of
Memphis makes it obligatory upon every
white man to vote and labor to secure
votes for Mr.. MOFFATT, the Democratic
candidate for the vacant County Commits
siOnership. For the first time the Radicals
OF Memphis present a negro for the suf-
frages ofthe people. They make the is
sue-white or black. II the white men
the merchants and business men, the
mechanics and laboring men-of Shelby
are DESTROYS Of having it 60 abroad that
they are unequal to the task OF conduct
ing public affairs and desire to leave
their management to negro, they will
not interest themselves in the election
on Saturday bat fold their hands and
permit Mr.. MoFFAfT to be defeated. On
the other hand, IL they would con-
serve their interests, they will come
boldly forward and exert every influence
to defeat the negro candidate and elect a
white man who has ali the qualifications.
WHICH Is IT TO 'BE-THE NEGRO
OR THE WHITE MAN?

MEMPHIS APPEAL.
FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 8, Isss


President GRANT has spoken. What
he has said will be found in our tele-
graphic columns. 1t is brief and TO the
point. Every word suggests Republican,
ism, so much of It as treats of the SUI
frsge question:" psrtaking Of the most
ultra Radicalism. He hits the retir-
ing President by an allusion IS
ill-timed as If is in bad taste, and
courts the most extreme legisla-
ton by the statement that he "knows of
"no method Of securing the repeal Of
obnoxious laws so effective as their
stringent execution" He warns vi Of
new ideas of reconstruction, and hints
OF measures OF settlement such ss pre-
ceding administrations have had
to deal with. he suggests " political free
dom without regard to local prejudice, +"
and therein foreshAdows an extreme
Rsdicslism that many Democratic
journals before his Inauguration would
have US believe was foreign to bis prin-
ciples and purpose. He has much to say
OF the national finances promises fairly
as to an honest enforcement Of the reve.
nue. laws and purity in the sdministrs-
ton Of our treasury affairs. But not one
word has he uttered as to the con-
dition of the South. He is strangely
reticent as to the anomalous status
of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
and instead Of advising the public
Of his plans and purposes in this
regard deals in g~enersIities that, like his
silence, may be construed to suit all
sorts of people. Taken altogether, we
think GRANT forebOdingly breaks the
silence that has characterized him. In
stead Of an inaugural, he gives US what
may httingly be entitled General Or
der No. l from the Headquarters Of the
of the Army and
Navy Of the United States. The an
nouncement Of his Cabinet will no
doubt confirm these deductions.

csediogs with q speech. He said the
first duty Of the Confederation vas 10
maintain peace and friendly relations
with other. nations, as all the other ma
lions Of Europe had ,hown a desire for
peace. The result Of the Conference on
the Eastern question had demonstrated
the fact that there was 3 general desire
for peace. He closed with the foil0wing /:
"a nation saving its strength and
q will to respect the tndepen-
dence Of others and to maintain its own,
can surely count on peace, as foreign
powers will not molestit, and the domeE-
tic enemies of our order are poweriess TO
prevent it.n

Shall MOArthur have a Railroadp

WE are not prepared to answer this
question; but we are sure that It is high
time that movement toward the building
Of q railroad was being made. There is
at present a golden opportunity which
business men and Others along the old
route between Macarthur Station and
Logan might improve or take advantage
Of. Tho Columbus s. Hooking Valley
Railroad is already completed from Column
bus to Lancaster; about the first of May
it will be completed to Logan only 25
miles distant from Macarthur, and 20
from Macarthur Station The citizens Of
Logan are making preparations to build
railroad TO the rich coal fields at Straits
vile, about l6 miles northeast of Logan,
and 8 miles south Of New lexington
New Lexington is already connected by
rail with Zanesvile by the Cincinnati,
Wilmington & GAINESVILLE road. At q
mass meeting held at Logan few days
ago, $4,000 were raised toward the build
ing Of the road TO Straitsville-only
$1,000 more being required to pay for the
grading and laying of ties. What do our
Macarthur people think Of that2 Would
not that amount--$50 00o-cover the cost
of finishing the grading, and the laying
Of ties from Macarthur Station to Logan g?
No one can say that road between these
two points would not greatly benefit u.s.
How important it is for US to attend to
this matter now, II is work of the
greatest importance to us all-the poor as
well as the rich. Why not make deter.
mined move in the matter forthwith Let
us not sit down and be completely
environed with ailroads from which we
cannot obtain the least advantage.
