Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-01-25

by arrivals from Little Rock yesier-
day, we learn that the Governor has Is
sued the following proclamation {:
Commanders Of all troops, corps, or
detachments of State militia, passing
through any county not under martial
law, as soon as practicable, will report to
the sheriff OF the counties, and lay before
him the orders under which they are
marching,
Any bodies of men claiming to belong
to the State militia, who may enter or
pass through any counties not under
martial Law, without being able to show
orders from proper authority, will be
subject to arrest by authorities Of the
counties, and all sheriffs are requested to
summon a posse for their arrest, report
ing accordingly, and holding the prison
ers until Information can be received
from these headquarters.
La addition TO this document, the
Qqartermaster General has also Issued
general order giving notice that all de-
linquent stock, heretofore declared for
feited, will be sold at public auction to
the highest bidder for cash, fc- the risk
and benefit Of the owner, at the court
house door OF Pulaski county, on Mon
dsy, the 18th day Of February, 1869, be-
ginning at 10 O'Clock an, unless the
amount due is sooner paid.
AS the Little Rock Gazette truly saws:
II the Q1artermsster General had given
s little more time in which to appear
and establish the claims OF citizens
whose property has been taken, the mat
ter would be looked upon in 9 mcse IA
vorable light than Z iis. When it Is
known that the owners of nearly sll the
property seigsd live from one hundred
to two hundred miles distant from the
capital, and that the mail facilities are
such that his circular cannot be properly
circulated in less time than fifteen days.
this order does not strike one as having
been intended to restore any more
of the property than circumstances
would compel.
By arrivals from Marion yesterday
evening We learn that the scouting party
from the Tyrongia had not returned.
Several psrties-R AdleRls and pre-
tended Conservatives - have affected
to doubt the accounts given by the AP-
PEAL of the vilIainous doings of the
militia in Arkansas; and as we have
also been charged with giving undue
prominence" 10 these reports, we here
state that we are prepared to confront
these Radical or hypocritical, pretended
with eye-witnesses to the /
truth OF every word we have asserted. !
These pimps and hirelings, advocates Of
the militia in Tennessee as thew are in
Arkansas, had better not tax the ps-
tienee of the refugees too far, or thew
may ind giving the lie q dangerous
oPei elton. Mine ladies arrived in
the city yesterday from Marion, and re-
present that Crump and Lovelace are
In the jail, but Waford is at the head |
quarters in irons. His hands are said to
be mass Of pastTefactiOl from the asse of /
Col. Watson, the commandant, after /
reading the resolutions of the {" peace (
mesting," published in the Appeal. on /
Thursday morning, remarked that the I
resolutions were good enough as far as .
they VENT but they did not go far /
snohgh. They ought to promise to fer 1
ret out and arrest those charged with 4
crimes, and soc theywere executedi-that 1
he resolutions were, in fact, "nOt worth /
damn" To show whether we have
given undue prominence or not, we will
,lose by the following quotation from a
Radical source-the Cincinnati CONNER
,idl, OF Friday;
THE evil result OF the militia measure,
is precedent, is beginning to be seen
a Tennessee, where the bill for organ
zing State troops has met with favorable
at the capital. Were ii
lot for the subdued and broken spirit OF
he people OF Arkansas, the militia would
lave stood poor chance against supe-
'ior numbers there, but in Tennessee it
8 safe to predict that terrible retribu-
ion will follow the preparation Of SIM
lar outrage.
"What can be more distressing than
air land despoiled by legalizsd despo-
ism, an industrious people obliged to
view the results Of their labor
consumed by lswleas men. A complete
evolution in the government Of Arkan-
ss will alone bring peace and quiet
within her borders.
alt would be ungraeious, indeed, to
cave the State without some tribute to
he good qualities which even her people
possess. A more hospitsble people never
xisted. They do not offer much, but
he best they have is as welcome to the
tranger as the air is free to the bird. Fa.
lities for travelling were extended on
very hand. No one wished noe to take
heir view of the matter, but TO see N.Y.
elf the actual state Of affairs"
