Editors Memphis Appeal:
In your issue Of Saturday 1 observed a
csII over the signature Of MANY VO-
ters," requesting me to snnounc my
self as q candidate for Judge OF the Mu-
nicipal Court.
I have always deprecated the policy
which makes judicial positions the sub
ject Of partisan strife, and 1 would great
Iy prefer that selections for such Offices
should be made irrespective of party
lines.
am frank to admit that I regard the
position in connection with which my
name has been mentioned, as one Of high
responsibility and my selection for it
could not be otherwise than gratifying to
my professional pride.
1 do not desire to be understood SIS
seeking the place +; yet L c~heerfully leave
myself in the hands of the many vo-
tersn who have seen fit to present my
name to the public. L am, very truly,
yours, IRVING HALSEY.

An editorial in yesterdays Ledger

have to say that in the church militant,
a. in the church triumphant, there are
no sOciaI or political divisions. Bishop
GIintard recognizing the fact, simply
performed his duty in the matter com
planned Of. The Christians God is God
of all, and the atOnement Of Christ is
equally applicable to the negro as to the
Caucasian. By his conservation VOW,
Bishop Q1intard could not refuse to con-
frm q negro presenting himself at the

Pricking the Bubble.

The news which we print this morning. in
regard to tho Blue Ridge Railroad, is u com
plete viadication Of tho justice of the stric-
lures which this paper has passed upon tho
whole project since it went into Radical
hands, as well Us q gratifying proof that
even Radical hides cannot long Withstand
the scourging OF bold and indcpendcnt
press.
When Governor Scott and Mayor Pills
bury, who, by virtue of their Offices, control
ninc-tenths of the stock capital Of the road,
gave the contract for its completion to Crisis
veil, Patterson & Co., at round price of
S9,OOO,0o0, wo held up to public rcproba-
tion the schemes OF tho Radical ring, and
explained tho why and wherefore of tho nc
farious transaction. The road was only to
cost $4,000 900 in 1860, and the 50, ,0oO, 900
certainly left abundant room for the nav
ment OF commissions to the Governor ard
oil his satellites. AS soon as THR News
laid bare the ins and outs Of the negotia
ton, and showed that the Blue Ridge Rail-
road alone would add about $40, 900, 600 to
the State debt, and would double the State
taxation, tho market for the State bonds
suddenly became dull and depressed, and
the contractors and their tools began to fear
TINT 1t would be impossible for them to eet
rid of the State guaranteed bonds at any
thing near par. Then they had also to run
tho gauntlet OF the General Assembly for an
extension OF the amount to be Guaranteed.

would have forfeited their bargain long ago

saved their credit by going to work alone
with pick and spade among the mountains
which oycrsl,hdow Wulhalla. And Govern
or Scott himself began to be alarmed. Tho
State bonds would not rise. The financial
public regarded our Radical government am,
negro Legislature as more than a get-oT to
our debt Of only $4,000, 600 and the growing
prosperity OF the people. The only interest
that Governor Scott had in tho Blue Ridge
Railroad was personal interest, and when
