Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-08-07

WE are told that on Thursday about
five hundred negroes assembled on the
line of the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad between Colliersville and
Germantown, and endeavored to stop
the train in order that they might get
on and come into Memphis to vote.
AS trains on that road never stop eX-
cept at their regular stations, and the
officers of the road were not willing to
assist the contemplated fraud in the
election, they failed to arrest the train
or to make their way in. Sheriff CUR
RY, we are informed, has the distin-
guished honor of their contemplated
enterprise. The incident is not new.
We have seen its like over and over
in our previous elections, and suffered
from hundreds of illegal votes in con-
sequence. But the particular reason
we write is to call attention to the
fact that of this large body of blacks,
so eager to exercise the franchise of
freemen, only trelre roted! The eX-
PLANTATION is that they uere knOUR at
that Dor as residents Of Mississippi, and
could not pass themselves off for legal
voters, as they would have done in
Memphis iftheir scheme had not been
thwarted.

Tenn, is acknowledged by all

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-08-07

THE APPEAL very justly remarks
that the penalties of our Criminal code
are too severe, and that the certainty
of punishment is the best vindication
of our laws. AS for inficting less pun
ishment upon the blacks than on the
whites tor the same crime, the eolOred
people repulse with scOrn any over
lures of such discrimination. They
only ask for Justice and fair play, and
a fair chance at the prizes of life. They
neither ask nor accept any such inc
quality.
If the remarks of the APPEAL are
just on this subject, we e no good
reason why the blacks should refuse
an inequality, which is only the
proper counterpart Oftheir incapacity.
We rather suspect that is more the
independence and "scorn" of the
Post for them, than of the Africans
themselves. Our proposition, how
ever, is not to punish blacks less than
whites for the same crime, but to
punish all crimes in all in the manner
most certain to be preventive of
crime. Whether it is practicable, in
pursuance of such a purpose, to make
any discrimination as to persons, is a
matter for the Legislature to deter
mine. We have made hesuggestion,
partly in the interest of humanity to-
wards a very ignorant class of our
population, partly because we be-
lieved a more immediate and different
punishment from that now prescribed
as the punishment for whites would
be more preventive Of crime in the
new freedmen, and partly in the pub
lie interest in saving monies for jails
and penitentiaries now too rapidly
filling up.

TIE p

The manner in which we dished the
election news TO our readers was
everywhere yesterday the subject of
favorable comment. The tables were
clear and explicit, and exhibited the
returns from every part Of the State,
up to the hour of going to press, in a
way that satisfied the most eager in
quirers after information. The posi-
ton the APPEAL has taken through
out the contest also met with uni
versal approval and endorsement.
This is gratifying and proves that our
efforts to make a journal that shall
satisfy the wants of the public OF
Memphis are fully appreciated. The
position assigned us, by common con-
sent, as the leading journal of this
portion of the Southwest, we will al
ways endeavOr to sustain.

From the report of the Agricultu-
raj Bureau for the month of July we
learn some interesting facts rs to the
cotton crop. The feebleness and
starved appearance of the plant in
May and early June are yielding to
the bright suns and genial showers of
the progressing season, which are rap
idly repairing all damages except a
lack of a perfect stand" In a few
localities fears are expressed that there
will not be more than half a crop.
On the other hand, among the favor
able indications presented, the gene
raj report is, along the Atlantic. coast,
that large quantities Of fertilizers have
been used, great care exercised in Sc
lecting seed, and better implements
employed, while the labOrers are more
faithful and reliable. In Mississippi
the plant is from two to three weeks
later than usual, but looks very well
and promises with a favorable season,
to be nearly a far advanced as usual
the 10Th of August, the time to COM
mence the first picking.
The acreage is about Is per
cent. greater than last year, increasing
the total acreage of 1868, which was
about seven millions, to more than
eight millions of acres. Tennessee
exhibits a slight decrease in acreage,
(as do Virginia, Kentucky, and Mis-
souri,, though their cotton r is too
small TO affect the c~alculation,) and
the increase in the other States is esti-
mated as follows: North Carolina, 10
per cent. South Carolina, 9; Georgia,
IS; Florida, 25; Alabama, 8; Missis-
sippi, IA; Louisiana, 16; Texas, 81;
Arkansas, y. Should the yield per
acre equal that of last year, the in
crease of acreage would enlarge the
total production to very nearly three
millions of bales. Nothing short of
unusual disasters will reduce the crop
below that of last year, or two and a
half millions of bales.

THE BANNER COUN1K Y.

Elsewhere will be found a tabulated
statement of the result of the election
in this county. 1t viii be seen that
the majority for suffrage is quite 1000,
which secures for Shelby the honor
and credit Of being the banner county
Of the State. This is nothing more
than We expected. We have always
had faith in the white people d Shel-
by, and have always been strong
believers that they would, as they
did on Thursday, rise in their might
and put their enemies under their
feet. This they have done effctualIy.
The wretched creatures who have
lorded it owe us, who have
robbed and plundered us, who
have put injuries and indig-
mites upon us are cowed and havere-
tired TO their holes growing fears
that are b~aseless, as we are determined
to be magnanimous; to forgive if we
cannot forget,

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The Executive Committee, into
whose hands was committed the con-
duct of the late canvass, have signal
lied themselves, one and all, by rare
tact, discretion and zeal. From first
to last they have been alert to every
movement Of the enemy, and have
anticipated every necessity Of the
canvass, promptly providing for
emergencies, and equal to every ext
gency. It is due to their efforts that
Shelby county occupies to-day the
proud position of the banner county
of the State. They attendedtO the reg
istration iOf voters, and on the day of
election arranged for a proper, a fair
and full vote of the COnservate party.
The citizens of the county have done
much-have, indeed, performed their
whole duty-and are entitled to great
credit, but the Executive Committee
have not only performed their duty,
they have gone farther and exhibited
an untiring energy and zeal to which
chiefly our success is due. Without
seeming to be invidious, we may
mention particularly Mr.. NJ. D.. L.
STEWART andMr. WOODWARD, mem
bers of the Committee, who have
been characterized by a sleep
less devotion. They were the
soul of the Committee. Mr..
STEWARDS advice, his shrewd-
ness, his powers of discrimination and
his extensive experience were always
available to the party, and were al
ways to be had 1.-THE right time. His
s~ingle-hearted devotion to the inter
ests of the people of Memphis should
never be forgotten. Mr.. WOODWARD
expended his time, his means in be-
half of the people. He provided
rooms, and all the requisites for COM
Portable headquarters, and was the
knowing cause" of Radical defeat.
We hope he will be remembered as
the friend of his peOple-the staunch,
true and tried friend-the man " it
will do to tie to-" a sound, unyielding
and unfinching Democrat. All honor
to the Executive Committee.

WE W4NTA CONVENTION.


We have accomplished a complete
revolution. We have put the Radi-
Gals where they had us so long. They
are in a minority. Tomake the revo-
luton effective and telling we must
have a Convention at an early day
for the purpose Of amending the or
ganic law so as to meet the demands
of our people. We must abolish Reg
~istrars, candidates Oaths, and all
the other infamies that are known to
be the result of Radical legislation.
To do this fairly and satisfactorily we
must have a Convention Ofthe People.
By all means let us have a Conven-
ton. We want to rub out old score
and commence anew. We are for a
Convention, and hope to be sustained
by the press of the State who have
stood with us through all our strug-
giles for the white man.

TgE ASQOcTATED PRESS.


We are not in the habit of making
complaint. We prefer to bear a little
than to protest upon every occasion
of wrong, but the conduct of the asso-
ciated press on Thursday was of a
character so outrageous as to call for
severest condemnation. So far from
answering desire and expectancy
for the fullest reports and election re-
turns from all parts of the State, we
were left to shift as best we could, and
to depend upon our private resources
to secure what we are heavily taxed
for by the associated press. The con-
duct of that association is worse than
outrageous, it is a positive swindle.
The press of Memphis pays as much
for news as the press of Louisville, yet
we do not get but one fifth the amount
of matter, and whenssanything o spe-
cial importance occurs in our own
State we have to pay additional
to get an account Of it, or
else depend upon n papers lot IT,
This is the general course of conduct
of the Associated Press towards US.
On Thursday they overtopped even
that, and slammed all their previous
wrongs upon us by an unblushing
fraud. No wonder the press is be-
coming eager for the purchase, by the
Federal Government, of the telegraph
lines of the country. They suffer
from an odious monopoly that can
never be broken up save by the direct
interpOsition of the Government. The
misconduct of the Association on
Thursday leads us to favor such a So
luton of our difficulties, and to urge
it upon all of our brethren who would
be free from an odiOus and a grinding
MONOPOLY.

HONOR TO WHOM TT rs d

HONOR TO WHOM TT is DUE.
Mr.. BOUGHNER, County Registrar,
has proven himself a faithful, ener-
getic and honest officer. The contrast
between his conduct Of the public
trust committed to him and that
which characterized his predecessor,
WILLIAMS, is peculiarly marked.
The latter denied TO white men the
registration papers TO which they were
clearly entitled, the former registered
promptly all entitled by Ltw. The
latter threw obstacles in the way of
registration and hid hinteif away,
from access 10y the white people, the
former published a list of appoint
ments and filled them faithfully, and
Kept the people fully advised as to his
movements. The latter was more
than a week before he made returns
of the judicial elections, the former,
before the lapse of twenty-four hours,
has made full, complete and most sat
isfactory returns. We honor Mr..
BoUGHNER and invite public atten-
ton to his fidelity and prompt execu-
ton Of his duties.
