Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-09-18

In another column we publish from
the New York Sta the particulars of
the recent battle between the Cuban
patriots and the Spanish volunteers.
The facts as here given are authenti-
Gated by the Spanish Diori0 de Ia
Murine Of Havana. The patriots
were successful, and were only pre-
vented from reaping the benefits of
their proves in the total rout of their
enemies-by the inoppOrtune arrival
of reinfOrcements for the royal army.
The whole Cabinet, Congress, and all
the Republican officials were present
at the engagement, and most OF them
encouraged the troops by participa-
ton in the struggle. Though not
finally triumphant, we must regard
the Republicans as successful, and as
having achieved a victory that will
tell as much for their future as if they
had compelled the evacuation Of Las
Tunas by the Spanish forces. The
friends of the Cuban cause will take
courage, and their hopes Of final sue
cess will be freshened by this last
great and signal effort. If the Cubans
but fight in this way, a short time on
~ can intervene before the GRANT adj
ministration will be forced by Ameri-
can public opinion to demand their
complete independence.

DOES it ever occur to the friends OF
Universal Suffrage to reflect upon the
extent to which Tennessee has been
made to suffer by that class of our
population, who, by a usurpation of
constitutional rights, We're most re-
Gently admitted to the privilege of the
franchise? Do they.ever think of our
State debt increased more than double
by the men elected to Office by negro
votes? Do they ever reflect upon the
consequences of the negro vote in the
condition of Shelby county finances
as exposed by the Criminal Court
Grand Jury? Do they ever think of
the loss to the State by reason of the
Negroes participation in politics to the
neglect of the work in which his
strength is most available? Do they
ever think OF HUNTER, and of BAR
BoUR LEwIs-of their misconduct, Of
their political infamies, and then re-
fleet that the poor, ignorant, stupid
African may be in the future
the supple tool in the hands
of designing politicians for forcing
upon US just such a character of men?
Do they ever think that it was the
negro vote that perpetuated BROWN
LOW, and the negro vote that sustained
STOKES? Universal Suffrage argues
an equality to think, an equality to
kJaolc what is best in governmental
policy, practice and theory-it argues
that the discretion Of the negro is
| equal to that of the white man, and
for the capacity of the black man not
alone for selEgoyernment, but to par
ticipate in the control and govern
ment of others. Weask, in justice to
our people, is it possible that the Alb
olitiOnists, who for so many years
contended against us, were right as to
the negro, and that we of the South
were wrong? Can it be that the peO-
! Die of the south have all these years
Dten lItdtlnS hOCiACStNaA NHNN'
as chattels, "a menials? Is it possible
that GARRISON, WENDELL PHILLIPS,
GREELEY and SUSAN ANTHONY were
right in denouncing the white people
of the South as semi-savage and de-
graded because of the political in
equality between them and the negro;
or was our estimate and conduct to-
wards him right2 The Democratic
party of the North still endorses us,
still stands by us, while those, like
GREELEY, who have been always our
enemies, and opposed to the South,
clamor for Universal Suffrage, to the
detriment of our labor system and
every industry dependent upon it.
Think of this, ponder these questions,
YOU that are for Universal Suffrage,
and answer for yourselves.

very gravest of Ofenses, which viii
hardly be mentioned, nevertheless,
by journals which suppress the truth
with the same habitual certainty that
they falsify it. The Montgomery Mail
gives the following further particu-
lars:
After the cutting affair, Med. went into
Wilson's store, which was surrounded by
the negro mob. When Sheriff Barber
reached Wilson's, on Sunday, he succeed
Ell in removing Med. from Wilson's store
to Mr.. Wilson's residence, adjoining the
store, which in turn was surrounded by
the rioters. Justice Lide, acting as COro-
ner, endeavored TO held an inquest on the
body of the negro killed. whose name is
Dave Lucas, on Saturday, but endorsed
on his report that it was impossible to
render a verdict on account of intimida-
ton and the Tiotous conduct of the ne
groes.
We learned yesterday that Sheriff Bar
Der was a prisoner in the hands Of the
rioters, who threatened to kill him and
Mr.. McD., and burn the house they were
in. The Sheriff, at last accounts, (which
are up to Sunday EVENING" was a~nxiously
waiting the arrival of the military, for
which he had sent a messenger. The de-
tachment Of troops which went up yes
terday morning will no doubt protect the
Sheriff and Mr.. Med, and will probably
bring them to the city by the NJ. ~ r.
train at 10 am. to-day.

THE Nashville Union and american
quotes from the Cincinnati Chronicle
an extract (such as is too commonly
going the rounds of the Northern par
tisan press, charging lawlessness in
Tennessee, on the authority of some
one who called and represented him
self as arefugee and a Northern man
who has resided in Tennessee for
nearly thirty years, a supporter of
Gov. SENTER,n etc. This man is, be-
yond all question, an impostor If
his antecedents are carefully looked
up, the Cincinnati paper will find him
so. Here, in the face of this commu-
nifty, where we dare not, if we would,
put forth a deliberate untruth, we say
that no Northern man of any respect
ability whatever is in danger in Ten
nessee. No honest man here is in
danger fromany, except the scoundrels
who infest Northern as well as South
ern communities, and prey on man
kind at large. The truth is, that, SO
far from Northern men being less safe
here than Others, there is a unani-
nous consent and practice of our eiti-
zens to prove how far they are above
all meanness by treating them espe-
cially with the highest respect. If
there is any difference at all, good
men of the North have the advantage
of our own citizens. And, when
p" carpet baggers are alluded to with

THE a%bsurdity of the charge which
a few OF the more malignant of the
Radical correspondents and press are
making, that the disturbances which
occur in Tennessee are the conse-
quence of the political change, should
be sufficiently evident, even to them.
No State could be more completely in
the hands of the Government than is
Alabama, and yet outrages are more
frequent there than in this, if not in
any other Southern State. The Co
lumbus SIN prefaces the following ex-
tract from the Montgomery Advertiser
by saying Federal bayonets still
give all the peace that Alabama en-
joys"
A company of soldiers left here last
night to a threatened riot at
Wilson'S station on the M. & T.. Railroad,
between the whites and negroes. We
3earn that Mr.. Charles McDade, jr., killed
a negro with a knife, and wounded an
other very severely, and we further learn
that he was acting solely in self defense,
the negroes having made an attack ON him
late Saturday night. The negroes refused
to allow him to nave a preliminary exam
nation, and he is now closely guarded by
the sheriff and white people 10 prevent
the negroes executing their threats.
About one thousand were collected at the
station last night.
This is a case of resistance to the
execution of the laws, which has not
occurred on the part of the whites in
any quarter. 1t is, for that reason, the
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-09-18

MIsFoRTUNEs never come singly.
We publish this morning, from our
special correspondent at Paducah, the
particulars of the recent river accident
the blowing up of the boilers of the
stern-wheel steamer " Phantom" on
the 18th inst, within a quarter of a
mile Of New Liberty, on the Ohio
river. twill be seen that the terrible
affair, which resulted in the death of
four and the disabling of fifteen per-
sons, was the result ofalmost criminal
-carelessness, in permitting the Inflated
steamer to pass into service with a
patch upon one of her boilers, a patch
so insecure that the least pressure be-
yond the most ordinary steam capaci-
ty, forced everything into the air, and
STEPPED in blood the unfortunate Off
GERS whose negligence or friendship
connived at it. Added to this, and
more criminal, is the allegation that
the Phantom was racing at the time
of the accident. If this is proven, the
officer authorizing the race should be
hung as an example; just as the brutal
mate of the "Flirt" should be hung
for putting in jeopardy of his life, in
a country haunted by Indians, a poor
deck hand whose only ofIense consisted
in a remonstrane against open-handed
and unrestrained brutality. River
men and steamboat owners are a-gape
at the falling off in the trade that at
one time made steamboat stock supe-
ror, if not equal to railroad. Can they
any longer wonder at it when, in 1869,
such rufians as this mate GARRETT
pass froma legal examination unhung?
Let the generous and humane readers

The Banner of Wednesday says it

by thousands, and denyev more in

WE have been in the habit Of think
ing that a man should be a voter in
order to be qualified to hold office.
Hence we have the strongest argu-
ment for negro suffrage which has
been advanced. A negro magistrate
can do what \ white officer would be
unable to do-lengthen a MONTH
What, then, would be impossible to
him, if his jurisdiction was that of a
court Of record? The Augusta CON
stitlai0nalist gives us the following in
stance Of Ethiopian superiority;
A day or two since a case came up IN
Hamburg, ). c., before Prince Rivers, the
woolly headed legislator who has been
selected TO dispense magisterial justice
in that community. One of the parties
to the suit not being ready for trial, de-
sired the ebony officer to postpone a hear
ing until the thirty-frst of September.
Running his fingers through his matted
wool. the sable Justice gathered an alma
nae, which he thumbed to his satisfaction,
and then announced that q hearing of the
case would be postponed until the thirty
first instant. A loud gulliaw saluted this
announcement, when the digniied legis-
lator justified his decision by informing
the audience that he was correct, because
he had been examining an almanac for
1869. Our informant did not state whether
light has yet penetrated the woolly-headed
magistrate.
