EthtGrS Memphis 4PpeU
Many rnnors are now in circulation in
car cityin 4sgard lo tiieseyeral candidates
for Judicial positions, and thou IA incred-
ibla AMI unreasonale, as some are, viii
give tlicni nrthi4wize 20 .ht publie that
The parties implicated may have an op-
por;uni;y 10 rcfute them.
Il Is said that Judge Hunter hse prom
ised nuulI,er Of citizens in The northern
portion Of the city twhese Temporary advo-
ctcy oi liis claims is thereby explained,
that ifelrcted Chancellor he will at once
injoin .nrI burst np he Metropolitan Pn-
lice organization in Memphis and restore
the old SYSTEM and give them control bi
thc same. I'ha! BY this delusion he has
misled a few who know no better. and who
believe th.t ih,~sIInple Jqat of the Chan
cellor is all poISFful and final Ii Is also
said that 10 secure their votes and influ-
ence he has recently liberated from the
jail large number Of criminals who
ongh. 70 have q place in the Stale Peni-
tenfiary this. however. may be merely
sur1nise as he has lately discharged a
great many prisoners)i that he now
claims the votes and influence or many In
.siose behalf he has granted new trials and
other favors from his bench.
II is also reported thai he has promised
to Mr.. +. NJ. Cash the appointment Of
Clerk and Master of the Chancery Court,
to secure his influence in the ele,,
ton, and that Mr.. Cash has been
among tho negroes urging them TO
register and vote for Hunter. This is 100
much for me to believe, for l have known
Frank Cash for many wears and cannot
think ihat he eaald turn his back upon his
old friends and patrons and labor 10 fasten
upon hem such libel, such an incubus,
such disgrace as Hunter. This rumor, I
think. does hiIA great injustice, and know
he will brand Ii a. false. Even the negroes
in the procession on Saturday night slam
dered him with this imputation by in
scriptious on their torchlights.
II is rumored that Hunter has promised
10 use his influence in behalf of p. j.
Mulverhill for Attorney General of the
Criminal Court, and that for this he, Null
verhill, is " orlling zealously in khe in
terest and support Of Hunter. Ieio not
believe il. cannot be made to believe
that Mulverhill. who is young and prom
ising lawyer, would beaparty to such
bargain. He belongs 70 that race (Irish)
who cannot, by promise or the hope of re-
ward, be induced 10 barter their principles
aud iIirn their hael, upon that party which,
when able, has ever afforded them suceor
and protection since our government was
established Mr.. Mulverhill is too shrewd
not TO see that Radiealism is waning aud
that the star Of our deliyerance is already
illumining the horizon, and that he who
in the hour of our final and successful
struggle casts his destiny with the Radi-
cal party viii be constrained by the force
Of public seorn to fiet ever in advanceof
the older malefactors.
IkuoN that some who have pledged
Hunter their suppor have not the slightest
idea Of bestowing it, and / predict that on
the 9th inst, will be counted out in the
First Ward one of those old-fashioned,
rousing Democratic majorities that will
startle and amaze even that old cunning
female who prates so much of his prose-
lytes in Pinch. Since Hunter has prom
ised ont everything what win become OF
the little Pee Deer viii he share part
Of the immense profits Of the clerkship,
and Cash give fhe bond? But, alas, for all
of them. Aston is safely fixed in that
Offices for more than two years yet,
and Hunter and all the powers
that be cannot oust him until
the expiration Of his six years, for
which he was appointed and qualified.
Furthermore, the Legislature next winter
can very easily make that Office elective,
as it Should be. This, of course, viii be
done unless Tue Clerk and Chancellor are
in sympathy with the majority in
the Legislature. Think of this, those
Of you who seek to roll the sweet
under your tongues. Save
your money and your character, and let
matters take their course, All viii come
right after a while. - DEMOCRAT
The Eemher Of Congress from this District.
