Patrick saw bull paving in afeld, and tho t
what fun it would be to jump over and catch
him by the horns, and rub his nose in the dirt.
The idea was so funny that he lay down and
laughed to think of it. The more he thought
of it the funnier it seemed, and he determined
to do it. The bull quickly tossed him over the
fence again. Somewhat bruised, Pat leisurely

An article appears editOrially in
yesterday evenings Ledger, the OBJ
ject of which seems to be to advocate
the proposition of Mr.. KELLAR for
the purchase of the city's stock in the
Little Rock Railroad against the
proposition Of Mr.. MAHAN. For our
own part we care not which gets it;
and even if we did, we are not sure
that we can properly further influence
the matter by discussion through the
press. We T quite willing to risk
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to
make the best bargain with one or
the other as they may think best.
The statement we made as to MA
HANS proposition for the forfeiture of
the stOek was made on the authority
of Mr.. JAMES, our city editor, who
was present and heard, and is respOn-
sible for it as published by US yester-
day morning. 1t was contained In
the report of proceedings of the City
Council, and was as follows:
1 also propose that after the 100000 in
cash is paid for the stock il shall be placed
in the hands Of n trustee to Toe appointed
by the Board and the owners Of the stock,
10 be held as collateral security that the
road viii be completed within six months,
dating from the first of October, 1869.
The parties purchasing are To have the
use of said stock as its Owners at all
meetings or votes of stOckhOlders-for-
feiting all right and title to the same if
completed.

THE MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL-F

lican who had been prominent in this
conservative movement was given a sim
gle place on either the State or Congress
siona tickets. Such men as Col. Warner,
the Hon. William Breck, Capt. A. c. Fisk,
and G.. Gordon Adam, were slaughtered,
and Democrats of the bitterest kind were
brought forward as the most acceptable.
There were about twenty-five eoiored
men present az delegates, and they were
of an inferior and ignorant class. The &c.
ton of this Convention will have z won
drous effect in uniting the Republican
party, many who had bolted having al
ready returned to their allegiance. The
most encouraging accounts from all parts
of the State are being daily received at
the rooms of the State Executive Com
mittee in this city. The Republican party
is organizing rapidly, and the old Wing
and Union element is coming in. Judge
FoOte, the strongest man in Eastern Mis-
sissiJpi. has utterly repudiated the De-
nocracy, and says he will support the Re
publican ticket. He is in favor of univer-
sal suffrage and general amnesty, and pre-
fers to act with that party which is sup
ported by President Grant and his admin
istratiOn.
The chief distinction between par
ties, which is drawn by the Tribune
and its correspondents, is that of sup
port or opposition to Universal Suf
frage." TOsuppOrt, is Radiealism with
the Tribune to oppose, is Democracy.
Here in Tennessee, we have a sort of
" half fish and half flesh policy-a
lukewarm medium which Mr.. GREE
LY abOminates and spews out of his
mouth as too insipid for his Radical
stomach. But this is only in name.
They that are not for him are against
him, and they only are for him who
go for negro suffrage and swallow the
whole brute. These are quite suffi-
GENTLY 50. No wonder political ANAL
carnations are now beginning to be
seen as the precursor of social, and
strange things happen. "Politics
makes strange bed-fellows."
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-09-24

THE gubernatOrial canvass i'm Mis-
slssippi is fairly begun. The issue, as
Judge DENT states it, is between the
" Bitter Enders, or Extremists" who
desire to disfranchise the whites, and
the National Republican Union par
ty," which favors universal suffrage
and universal amnesty" DENTurges
the negroes to stand by the National
Republican Union party, as compris-
ing their only real friends, instead of
going with those who go for the spOils
of office, caring nothing for them.
The negroes have no true friends
among the carpet-baggers, who infest
and undertake To control the State,
only TO I'll their e~arpet-bags and grow
rich on the spOilS, which, if they get
into Office will be wrung chiefly from
the labor Of the black men. The ne
groes cannot help seeing that when
the earpeters grow rich on fat pick
ings Of office, it must come out of
iiAIAl AdDOAg bNNduHC 9Ot1AEbhAy iiuot
earn the money which the officers
spend, living i'm fine houses and riding
in fine carriages. and they do the most
work which is done in the State. The
DENT party propose to give the ne
grOes work, kind treatment and large
pay, so that they can lay up money.
That is what poor white men want
more than they want votes. What
good will it do a black mar to vote
for ALCORN, who can't get the black
on his own plantations to vote
for him? What good will they get by
for earpet-baggers, who bag all
the money they can lay their hands
on, and are too stingy TO pay their
washerwOmen? If the black men
will open their eyes a little, they must
see that these men, who want 10 lay
down in the same nest with them, 4
and pretend to be such friends to them,
only want offices and to get money by |
their votes, and for the rest don't care
whether they sink or swim. The
black men in Tennessee are better off
now in Tennessee than they were
when the earpet-bag men were in
power.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Tribune, writing from Jackson, Miss.
on the day the nominations were
made against the Radical party, hav-
ing spoken Of the acceptance of the
nomination and speech of Judge DENT,
says:
Judge VIM. kellogg, candidate for Con-
gress in the Second District, being loudly
called for. responded in a lengthy speech,
in which he analyzed the two parties and
their platforms. Judge Kellogg was for
merry a member of Congress from illinois
and came TO this State about two months
ago in search of IN Office, and succeeded
in being appointed Judge of the Ninth
Judicial District by Gen. Ames. He for
merly Endorsed most heartily the Radical
Republican Convention of the LIST of fully,
and the administr ration of Gen. Ames, but
deserted TO accept of tho Democratic NOM
inatiOn to Congress. He will no doubt be
elected, AS the District is Democratic.
The state ticket nominated by this Con-
Yention Is a Democratie-Rebel concern.
from the beginning to the end. Not one
OF the nominees, not ever the coIored
man, ever voted the straight Republican
ticket since there has been such a party.
Robert Lowry, the Acknowledgement was
a General in the rebel army, and has been
one of the most bitter opponents Of the
Congressional plan OF reconstruction that
the State could produce. Last year he on
posed the Constitution, denounced the
candidates ON the Republican ticket as
adventures, jaii-birds, midnight assassips
and thieves; Yilified Gen. Grant and the
Chicago platform, denied the right of the
negroes TO the ballot, and lie to-day an I'M
pardoned, unrelenting rebel. No Repub-
