Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-08-27

If we could, consistently with our
conceptions Of the adaptability of
Memphis to erery enterprise-agricul-
tuTll, mechanical and commercial
express q special and partial interest
in any proposed endeaVoF Cor trade,
such expression would be in behalf OF
the movement just inRGg4rated for
the tobacco trade of our city. A few
enteFprisiBg eitizsRs, wide awake to
the great advantages Of this city as q
tobacco mart, seem to have taken tho
matter in hand and determined that
the infinitely superior resources of this
market in this regard, shall be no
longer ignored. We have already Ia
prospect-yea, we have already noe
the control of cotton at this point.
Our facilities for shipment in every
direction, foreign as well as domestic,
produces quick sales and the best
prices, which il the delight of the
planter. This feature brings to US
purchasers from every quarter-f9m
Liverpool and Manchester, as well as
from New York and Boston. Now it
is manifest to the most superficial OBJ
server, that the same advantages
which procure for Us the cotton traffic
ought, il managed with the lesst dis
erection, obtain the same correspond
ing lead in the tobacco trade. The
country naturally tributary to Mem
phis is the most capable country for
the raising of tobacco in the United
States. We embraces in this estimate,
Southern Missouri and Southern Esg-
lucky, both of which regions have
been intercepted ron " H~Dnaturally,
and by reason Of oar W siots. We
ought for this product as well as for
cotton, to be the most attractive and
busiest foreign as well as domestic
market in the Union. To accomplish
this result only re9uires q little ener-
gy. There is no reason Why the to-
bacc0 patches of Southern Kentucky
and Southern Missouri should not be
swept by our merchants as well as
West Tennessee, North Mississippi
and Arkansas. We urge most imper,
tunately on our tobacco merchants TO
send out drummers TO all these re-
gions. Do not wait for the compile
ton of the Mississippi River Railroad,
DrummeS viii then scarcely be need
ed, for maeh of the country mentioned
will then necessarily come to Memphis,
Act at once, ia advance of this Rail-
road, and secure the trade. Our PEG.

this city, should act in concert to

THE Brownsville Bee of the 18th
in one of its articles, said as to the
Brownsville cotton market:
sour bgyeFs Will give as much or
more than the Memphis merchants,
The farmer win save The freight, com
which is nc inconsiderabiR sum-
In relation to this the Aroidnehe
and APPEAL both seem to have taken
eXeeg ion on the ground that the
word " ste8l4gep vas supposed to be
applied to Memphis merchants. This
application the Bee denies, both as to
the tact ana the intention. And we
are free TO say we think, on good
grounds. We have no idea that the
Bee intended to apply an offensive
eg;thet to Memphis merchants, or
used the E2rd "stealage" in any
other sense than that showed by it
the sense Of " mackerelp plumber, or
the depredations to which al cotton
marts are liable alike. AS to the two
markets; the planters will judge for
themselves. Il is Gertein the Mem
pRis merchants can afford 0vs5
Brownsville prices at least the freight
to this place. And as they have the
same motive to buy, il is likely they
will give it.

make it the great center of trade in
the Mississippi Valley. 1t will be
mutually advantageous to all. No
petty iealousies or rivalries, personal
or between corporations, should inter-
pose to prevent this great result.
Memphis, by establishing proper for
eign connections and developing the
opportunities that crowd themselves
almost unbidden on her, ought and can
be the best purchaser for the producer,
and the cheapest salesman IN the Union.
This result can and must be attained.
Other cities have striven to great sue
cess against nature and their location.
Our metropolis is invited by nature
and her situation to greatness. With
out, as we must say in candor, a 1.-THE
of the energy proper for her develop
ment, Memphis has risen in spite of
old togyism, individual selfshness
and the most untoward chances, to a
position that excites the envy of the
largest and most prosperous cities of
the Union. 1t only requires a little
effort to realize what her position has
almost without aid and in spite of the
calamities of civil war, already ac'
complished for her. Let her railroads
combine with her citizens to bring
trade to her warehouses; let her citi-
zens, devoid of Individual preiudices,
unite to the same end, and her over
shadowing greatness will be at once
effected.

THE Nashville Bd39,er quotes


THE. Nashville Banner quotes ae-
proyingIy the following from the
Paris LateUigeneer. We concur:
Since then we have felt called upon
to cooperate With the party opposed
to Radicalism, which, too, calls itself
the Democratic party which opposes
the Radical paFtyin the theory Of CON
sOlidatiOn, while it reluctantly aids to
put the same in practice. Properly it
should call itself the Conservative
party-beeause, not planting itself
upon the eternal principles of Truth
and LGgic-it yet opposes stoutly the
errors, blupqefs, eycesses and crimes
of its lawless and fanaIios, cotempo-
rary, the Radical party. But Hets
Withstandipg the hmentabie short
coming, where shall we look for ma
terial out of which TO organize a new
National party? The Northern DEM
ocratic masses are moving; they con-
stitute a compact mass. While in the
Southern States, if all the elements Op
posed to Radiealism were united Nh
der one party ngWe and WITH one
party shibboleth, it would be of no f4-
ture avail, because it you'd be seq
tional and not national, With whom
then can we act other than with the
Democratic party of the Northern
States? The strength of that party
was well developed in the North in
the last Presidential election, and but
for Acknowledgement end Federal bay
onets, would have shown itsalf il for
midable numbers in the SoqthefH
States. But where is the necessity
now Of talking and writing abont Red
eral politics at alI9 Tbs election of
1872 will rekindle the fires OF parry
soon enough. In u State govern
ment we faye enough to do If we do
it well, to occupy orr attention for the
next two years, without troubling
ourselves about partysnames or Fed
eral politics.

As EvINCING the peculiar fitness Of
the negroes to vote and hold office,
we take the liberty of citing the fact
that the little peccadillO called thiev-
ing, which white men esteem rather
~disgraceful, is not regarded by them
as particularly criminal. They are
not aware that it is detrimental to
their own race. They do not care for
the white race. They are reticent,
unwilling, and never prompt, as all
good citizens should be, to make the
commission of crime, and especially
thefts and ~burglaries which may come
TO their knowledge, known to the au-
thorities. There is no sense of self.
respect, there are no principles Of In
tegrity, and no fidelity to duty prompt
ing to that exposure and prosecution
which the well being of every COM
munity requires in such cases. And
they have no sympathy with that hon
est indignation and sense of justice
against crime which impels the virtu-
Gus citizens, the public prosecutor, the
honest juror and the infiexible judge.
This is ali too notorious to require par
ticular calculation. 1t Is q matter
which daily comes under the cogni-
zance Of all observing and thinking
men. For a single example, take the
confession of MOODY, the murderer,
He was walking along the street, hav-
ing no particular business or design
in view, when he meets BEDFORD,
bows and passes. BEDFORD calls
him to ego up street a little ways"
and thought he "cOuld make q good
thing at PRICE & YEATMAN's," shows
him a pistol, etc. So MOODY stops
and is ready TO go with BEDFORD.
And just then also, casually, JONES
comes along, and asks what is up"
and receives the reply Eve have a
little job on hand" JONES then went
of, and in five minutes returned,
bringing FORD with him, and they at
ono proceeded TO business. So in Ave
minutes it seems four negro men can
be accidentally picked up on the
street who are ready to proceed to the
work of robbery, and murderif neces-
sary. Does this indicate that our
streets are rather full of such charac-
tiers, that they a be picked up any
where, and that they have no appre-
hension that any one will elbow" on

THE F~eactiOnaFy spirit which, under
the name of Liberalism, Is beginning
to stalk with resistless power and
energy over the South, is not very
clearly understood by the country. 1t
is hardly the Democratic party in dis
| guise; still less is it the Republican
party with q new and better outfit.
1t is the development of that great
I priIciple Of nationality and peace
which is destined to succeed the Vin-
lence of FevOlutAh r passion and to
control the course and POlltieal events
until it Is set aside in its order by fu-
ture OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Courier.
This "r~eactionary spirit" hardly
stalks under the name of Liberal
ISM The great peoples work has
not taken that name. Even the press
which organized it, ignoresthe forma-
ton of any new party under any
name. ThetFgth Is there was and ig
no "reactionaFy spirit" about the
matter. Only this, that when the
people found their hands partially
united, they began the work of re-
formation which they needed no
change of mind, but only freedom to
undertake.. There has not been a day
since the war when the people q
Tennessee, fairly e~nfranchlsed,
would not have put down
Radical misrule at a single
blow, They have done, Unexpectedly
L. TIE North that which they have
always been keqdyte &c, only waiting
the opportunity. When, therefore,
the Courier proceeds (as it does in the
subsequent portion of an able article
on the s%upposltlon that this rei9fIfa
vote was the result of a change Of
opiaiGE, gradually and slowlyc come to
maturity In the public mipA, it reasons
on presumptions having no foGnda-
tien in fact. You might as well call
that a greai resGtiapary movement q
the people, gradually grown to matu-
rity, if a community, which had
borne a band of outlaws without
remedy. should suddenly rise TO de-
stFoy them, ghen theif fpFbeaFfRfs
had come to be no longer a yirtYe.
There was no party, no change Of
opinion, no reaction, aQthing in this
whole affair, but this, that the sup
pressed voice fthe honest men often
nesse has found opportunity Of ex-
preston.
