Ok Monday last the Supreme Court
rendered an important decision in a
case from Virginia, involving the
constitutional power of the States to
impose taxes on foreign corporations
exercising their franchises in the tax
ing State, and to require special Ii
eenses to be taken out by the agents
of such corporations. The Court (AIr.
Justice FIELD delivered the opinion)
held that corporations are not eiti-
zens under sec. ,, art. 4, of the Con-
stitution, which eonfers all privileges
and immunities of citizenship, in the
several States, on the citizens Of each.
They are The creatures of State legis-
lation, and have no rights or powers
outside the territory of their creation,
except such as the comfy of other
States may coneede to them. If they
desire to exercise their franchises in
other States, they must accept the
terms which it sees fit to impose.

OUR remarkably consistent JeGer-
son street neighbor continues greatly
concerned lest the APPEAL should do
harm in Mississippi. 1t is equally
concerned lest it should do the same
10 its universal suffrage negro policy
in Tennessee. In its extreme zeal for
negro suffrage on the ground Of com
mon gratitude" it would extend that
particular blessing 10 Mississippi.
With an eye to its own interests, it
would build itself up by pulling the
APPEAL down. These things do not
trouble Us, and the ACalanche is wei
come 10 what can be made by it.
The APPEAL is independent. 1t is
a Democratic Journal which speaks its
own mind. Ii took SENTER as a
choice of evils, but without high com
plIment5, and with a belief that he
would then be the better choice for
Conservative interests. The circum-
stances were peculiar. He could make
ana unmake voters. There seemed To.
BE- a necessity 10 make the choice
against STOKES; not because he was a
whit better than STOKES, or possessed
superior ability, BAT BECAUSE he hap
pened 10 be able 10 serve Us, when
Stokes nqualiy willing, and 10 be had
at the same price, was not.
In Mississippi, the circumstances are
different. Al the opening Of the cam

preiering the selection of a Demo
cratic candidate by our friends. We so
expressed ourselves. We snake or
DENT, who we learn was ana ORIGINAL
Union man and Abolitioui.L as u-a
thought ; and Of ALCOEN, the original
secessiOnist aud deseTter OF the south
in the same manner. 1t Eds hard 10
choose between two such men, and il
seemed TO Us that it might be sale, ana
would be better, of two such evils 10
choose neither one. Both platforms
were black all over; thousands Of the
best men in Mississippi were displeas-
ed, and it was not clear that the nom
inatiOn Of some such man as SHARKEY
ii Kinds, or WATSON, of Marshall, or
FISHER, OF Nalobusha, COTHRAN, Of
Carroll, MARSHALL, of Warren, or
other Conservative, might not result
in success.
We believe that might have been
done, and with more certainty of sue
cess than by the nomination Of DENr
DENT may be a clever man of his
sort, but the deuce take the sort. Al.
CORN may be the most talented and
respectable scalawag in the State.
But we did not see how Mississipoi-
ans could support him. W. preferred
a different candidate from either. And
so We said what we pleased, without
mincing u words about either. We
admitted communications freely ON
either side and waited for further de-
velOpment Of facts. AS time passed
on, we found that the Conservatives
of the State had determined on run

THE telegraph brings US the melan-
choly news of the death Of GEORGE
PEABODY, the great philanthropist,
the man who for twelve years has il
Illustrated a large-hearted benevolence
by the most liberal and munifcent
gifts to the poor of London, and for
the education fthe youth of the United
States. He died on Thursday night, at
halfpast ten O'Clock, at his residence
in London, and IN the 18th year Of his
age. He was born in Dauver, Mass,
February IS, 1885, was cducated in the
public school Of his district until eleven
years Of age, when he entered a gro
Gerry store, where he remained nearly
four years; after which, he went to
Newburyport, thence to Georgetown,
d. c., where he became associated
with the eminent banker, Mr.. RIGGS,
then at The head Ofthe largest wholesale
dry-gOOds store in that city. In 1915
the house was removed to Baltimore,
where, until 1887, he resided and con-
Quoted a most lucrative trade. IL the
latter year he took up his residence in
London, where, in 1873, after with
drawing from The house OF PEABODY,
RIGGs d Co, he established himself
permanently as banker and merchant,
very soon advancing to the front rank
among the princely bankers of the
great metropolis. His establishment
has ever since been the headquarters
OF his countrymen sojourning in Lon
don, and on more than one occasion
he WIS the media OF the restoration
of confidence in our State and General
Government by the capitalists and
people OF England and France. His
b~eneacti0ns have been on q scale
never before surpassed. COmmenc-
ing with twenty thousand dollars,
given 10 the people Of his native town
in 1852 for the purpose Of education,
he ended by the gift OF 5000, 900 to
the people Of the South, to be used in
the educatiOn.Of the youth Of those
States. His priucely charity for the
struggling poor Of London is not sur
passed by any of the great and noble
foundations for which the English
capital is famous. His American
common-sense and his money to-
gether have produced two squares Of
lOdging-houses that have served as
models for Miss BURDETT COUTTs, o:
London, and a. T. STEWART, Of New
York. Altogether, he has given for
the support and education Of the
poor of England and America more
than s, COO, 900, all Of il well
secured and placed under the
managerial control of men whose
known goodness of heart, i~nclinations
and position give assurance that. il
will be used as the benefactor of his
race desired. Mr.. PEABODY goes to
his grave followed by the heartfelt
grief Of two nations. Every good
heart will pronounce his eulogy, and
every tongue tell his praises. Rarely
is il given to a man to accomplish so
much in a lifetime, and seldom to live
TO carry forward great designs resting
upon a fortune acquired by most hon
orable industry. GEORGE PEABODY
lives enshrined in the hearts of all
people; his name is enrolled among
the greatest and best Of earth, and his
fame will endure so long as our Ian
guage and literature shall exist.

About
men from Memphis.

OSCEoLA, November ., 1863.
Editors Appeal An item APP
pears in your issue of the Ist instant,
credited to the Columbus Herald, Civ
ing an account of a goober vine upon
which $50 goober peas were counted.
This is a very cr~editable product for
Tennessee, no doubt. But now let
Arkansas speak. \ goober vine was
just brought into Capt. Harris store,
from Mr.. Delivers garden, upon which
225 goober peas were counted. When
Tennessee beats this, Arkansas will
speak again.
n small farm, near this town, was
entered to-day, for the coming year, at
Sll per acre. Truly, Cotton is King"
in Arkansas. But what puzzles the
curious is, that lands should rent for
81 per acre, when equally as produc-
tive lands can be purchased at $40 per
acre. Last year the rental price was
Sc per acre IN this section. Location
and improvements, doubtless, havean
influence upon the prices paid; but
when cotton is the only crop to be pro-
duced, l cannot e the point where
the advantage Of one place over an
other comes in, other things being
equal.
Some of the good and law-abiding
citizens residing upon Or near Swan
Lake, in the southern part of this
county, r sOrely annoyed at this
season of the year by fishing parties
FROM Memphis. These parties not
only carry away tons of fish, which in
equity belong to those who own the
land lying contiguous to the lake, but
they have no sccuples in appr0priating
such lat pigs as may chance 70 come
near their camps. Now, Messrs. Edi-
tors, if your fishermen must needs
visit Arkansas tor the purpose of sup
plying the epicures of Memphis with
4" buffalo, " I" ca " 4" trout" etc, they
should have more regard for the rights
of man and respect for the laws. But
il they persist ia their laWlessness, the
|aggrieved have remedyin the courts,
which win be resorted TO.
The continuation Of fine weather is
favorable to the cotton growers, who
improving every moment. Large
numbers Of pickers have been brought
here this season from Cairo, their PAS
sage paid. But strange TO say, many
of them are now returning, while vet
the fields are white with the staple. |
From two to four dollars per day from
now till Christmas, seems 10 have no
influence with these itinerants. They
have greenbacks sufficient to pay their
passage to Cairo, and to Cairo they
must 90. The yield of cotton per acre
in this county Will be an average Of
twO-thirds ofa bale, which is less than
last year. WANDERERS.

W oman Suffrage.

The question just now agitating the pub-
lie mind, is the ballot for woman. A great
deal can be said on this subject both for
and against, but as Congress is about-to
pass Law conferring the privilege of the
ballot to all classes of males, including ne
groes, Indians, and Chinese, We cannot
conceive any good reason why the more
enlig ghtened white woman should not have
the same boon granted to her. 1t is argu>
ed that if the elective franchise is given to
woman, that it will destroy home and home
influence but to this it may be answered
that the proceedings of the divorce courts
show that things could net be much worse
in this respect than they are at the present
time.
1.-THE negroes, Indians and Chinese need
the ballot for their protection and eleya.
ton, what good reason can be advanced
why ill-pad working women ana tax pay
ing rich women should not be elevated and
protected by the same means? As the
world now stands, we can see no good rea-
son why woman should be Gebarred the
privilege of elevating herself as high as her
nature and ambition will permit. By all
means, let Us have woman suffrage, if it is
ouly to top off with.
