Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-02-17
From the LonlsyIlle pemoerat.l

The Radicals to-day express open dis
gust with Grant He wants an honest
administration, and frankly avows his
determination TO drive from Office the
official rogues and other plunderers, and
intends to know personally the character
OF applicants for Office. He also say 9
4 Congressman shall not control the pat
rOnsgs of their districts, as heretofore,
and adds fuel to the flame. Prominent
Radicals predict that row in the politi.
: cal camp will be the certain result Of his
ignoring their demands. Grant remarked
to friend recently, that il the revenue
was not collected, those in charge would
be required TO give satisfactory reasons.
! All Is safe nov.
! MOREY, OF ILL, FOR THE REVENUE
DEPARTMENT.
! Mr.. Morey, OF Illinois, has been look
I ing into the business OF internal reve-
( nue. for some days, which, in connection
with hints, gives coloring to the rumor
| that he will go into the revenue depsrts

DR.. LEFrwICH FINDS A FRIEND IN

I DR.. Leftwich, the Congressm h hare
/ from Memphis, Tenn, district, rpTisad
( On his arrival he was greatly su d,vi1g
to learn of Brownlow's action in En- ne
/ the certificate to Smith. There @ ,,coss1
/ little doubt that Lsftwich will su - -,

case. Mr. Num-, the present me -
from that district, warmly espOuses -
cause, and denOunces the attempt
impose Smith uDou the district.
THE MISSISSIPPI CONVEX rI0E.
The Mississippi Convention bill will
/ be pressed in the Reconstruction COM
I mittee TO insure it's passage, so as to avoid
/ the Presidents pOcketing it.
THE CASE OF CONOVER.
The Presidents pardon OF the nOtOri-
Gus Sanford C0nover is severely criti-
oised Indeed, those fully acquainted
with COnOveT's yillainy do not hesitate
/ to express their Indignation. Moreover,
/ the President has repeatedly refi Oted on
his conduct in giving clemency to one
/ who, by perjury, tried to secure the
I Presidents impeachment. Conover's
/ wife has persistently entreated the Pres
/ ident for mercy in his behalf, and it is
/ charitable TO believe this enlisted his
symDathy ana SECURED the pardon.
BUTLER AND THE CAUCUS.
It is pretty well understood that on
Thursday night there was a caucus of
/ the Democrats, including Messrs. Sher-
man, COnness, Pomeroy, Cattell and
most OF the impeachment Radicals and
0lheFs-in all, about thirty-tO perfect a
c7mbinatiOn 70 back down Gen. Butler.
He mas bsen advised Of it, and laughed
/ at It's puerility. He said he would beat
them at their own game, as he had done
heretofore.
The father OF Arnold, the prisoner un-
der sentence for life az the Dry Tortugas.
for alleged completely in the sssassina-
ton plot, had an interview with the
President Yesterday, to secure his sons
parton. Young Arnold, It will be re-
membered, was only proven to be i'll a
plot TO ebduct President Lincoln, and
was not in Washington at this time the
sssRssinatioB took place.
WHAT TgE sEN ATE WILL DO WITH THE
TEN BILL.
I is argued by some that Gen. Grants
rem 4rlgs in regard to the removal and
appointment Of officers, will probably
determine the Senate in the disposition
o. the bill 10 repeal or modify the tenure
Cf-rific8 act. The Senate has had taste
o. ~ ger under that law never hereto
fore enjoyed By that body, which it will
be 10Th TO surrender, and it is not now
believed that the Senate will agree to
repeal of the act, and possibly not even
10 q modification Of it, until Gen. Grant
discovers his mode Of getting rid Of and
appointing officials.
HAROLD.
Rev. Mr.. Lewis, pastor OF st. Johns /
Church, Episcopal, on behelf OF the /
relatives and HaF0ldis friends, has ap-
piled to The President for permission to |
remove the remains to the family burial /
ground
THE MURDERERS OF LINCOLN.
Application hss now been made for the /
bodies of those executed for completely |
in the assassination OF Mr.. Lincoln, ex-
cept that Of Payne, and there is no doubt |
that President Johnson will give orders
scc0rding to the request Of the petit /
TONERS.
BgUTWELL's BILL.
To insure the passage of bills at this |
session of Congress, irrespective of the /
Presidents approval or dIsapprOvsl, it |
will be necessary that they get through |
both branches by noon of next Saturday, /
the 10th inst scoordingly, to secure sc-
tiOn upon the resolution 10 amend the |
Constitution, as in cases Of veto by the |
President. Mr.. Boutwell, will to morrow
move that the HOUSE concur in the Sen
ats's appointments to tne resolution.
There seems to be but little doubt that /
The House will concur without debate.
HON. CALEB GUSHING.
Hon. Caleb Cushing arrived here last
nigot, about ten O'Clock, from New York.
H5 had an interview With Secretary
Seward this morning in reference to his
mission to South America, and, it is said,
delivered to biG the treaty ne concluded
in relation to the DarieD ship canal.
APPROPRIATIONS AND DEFICIENCIES.
The appropriations for carrying on the
government are gradually becoming eK.
nausted. The treasury authorities now
report that the Golfers which contain the
faDds fer paying the expenses OF the ju-
dietary ars empty, and the acquisitions
OF the United States Marshal will have
to 90 unhonored until Congress sees
proper to make another appropriation.
The deficiency bill now pending in
Congress contains an Item of deficlsDcy
on this account to the amount of $780,
000 The appropriation for the fiscal
vesr. 1868, will create a havoc amongst
the Treasury clerks at the end of June
next. The clerical force of the Third
Auditors Office will be- reduced by one
hundred clerks.
CUBAN AFFAIRS.
A representative Of Cuban patriots is
nov In town. The sdvices last received
Of Dulce's proclamation, sUppressing the
liberty of the press, etc., are considered
as certain to infi4me the revolution. H.
form alton in possession of the agents
shows that the patriots have recently
gained most important success. They
are endeRvoring to get fOOthold on the
other end of the island, wherein the
larger body OF slaves are located, and
which Is more accessible to outside assis-
tance II Is believed if they succeed that
the slaves Will be armed. The great
need of the army is artillery, and prac.
teal men TO command. Some officers
Who know something of foundry, as
we'll as OF organizing and commanding
field artillery, would be OF the greatest
service to them.
GEORGIA.
Respecting the former State, 1t is un-
derstood a majority OF the committee
are in favor of reporting against the adj
mission Of her Representatives TO Con-
gTess until she has complied with the
r RsconHtruction Acts. The action of her ]
Is turning out negro Repre-
sentatiyes, and disfranchislng the ne
gr0es In the State, Is regarded es q clear
Of tbe conditions upon which
she was admitted, and until she complies
with those conditions she will not be en-
titled to have representation in either
house. |
