Is held by a mere garrison, 1t may be many days

SIR KNIGHT
We exceedingly regret to announce to you that
the contemplated visit OF knights Templar to
Atlantic City tomorrow is unavoidably postponed
solely for the that the present unprecedentedly
crowded state Of the hotels renders utterly impos
sbe that suitable accommodations be made for even
half the large number of Sir Knights and Ladies
who had accepted the invitation. This fact could
not be known until the last moment, after every
detail had been perfected and his approval OF the
trip received by telegram from the Right Eminent
Grand Commander. The proprietors OF the United
states Hotel, Congress. Hall, and the Ocean House
promise to have accommodations one week later,
and the 26th has therefore been fixed upon to CO.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-01-05

THE AUG1ancbc says the APPEAL
does not deny that JOHNSON support
ed FITCH against LEFTwICH at the
last Mayors election, and therefore
concludes that the charge is true. We
do deny emphatically. We are i'll
formed that JOHNSON not only Went
for LEFTwICH, but also spent his time
and money for the purpose Of aiding ia
his election, We are also told that the
AUaIGnche offered to support FITCH at
about the same time. We have not
seen this denied; and, therefore, by
the rule of the AUdLdRche, that what
is not denied is established, we have
a right to conclude that our neighbor
was more for FITCH than Mr.. JOHN.
SON, who spent his money to defeat
FITCH. We have the authority of
one of the most respectable citizens Of
Memphis for saying that one of the
proprietors of the AU0Jdnohe offered
Mr.. FITCH, in his presence, its sup
port, and pledged the paper to bring
out no other name against him. So
the support of FITCH does not seem to
be so very great a crime in the estima-
ton of our cotemporary after all.

IN our reference yesterday to the
judicial elections, we mentioned Judge
CARMACK as the only candidate fol
Judge of the Law Court. We under
stand that Judge CARMACK is not q
candidate, and that Capt. J. V. AN
DERsoN was the only candidate an
nOunced when we wrote. He was
recommended by the bar, as will be
remembered, some time since to run
for Law Judge to All the vacancy oe-
casiOned by the resignation of Judge
LEE. This is only for a sbert vacan-
cy, it is true, but Capt. ANDERSON
runs with the expectation of also be-
ing a candidate for Judge of the Second
Circuit, the election for which Will
take place on the 9Th of May next.
As we expressed ourselves at the time
Of his first nomination, so we repeat
now that Capt. ANDERSON stands in
the front rank among the members
Of our bar, and equally high as a gen.
tleman in social life. Whoever else
may run for the Office, it is certain
that we have no more suitable man to
fill it than Capt. ANDERSON. We
learn that Judge MARYLAND L. PER-
KINs has now announced himself as a
candidate. We take him to be a wor-
thy gentleman, and one who would
also make a good Judge.

TEKRE is no reasonable doubt that
Mr.. JOHNSON viii beat the ex-Prssi-
dent OF ths defunct and broken Citi-
zens Bank for Mayor. Our people
want no more shaving-shops of that
description. They have had enough
OF them, and suffered enough by
them. Hence the dread, that, in the
event Of WALKER's election, the city
government might be run in thesame
style. We hear Of an agent for a Chi
cagO house here who is authofized to
buy city bonds at current rates the
moment JOHNSON is elected. And
We hear Of Others, better informed of
the chances, who are buying them up
already, in fuH confidence that the
election Of JOHNSON is sure. With
the revived city credit, which will
then sDSue, we shall have the ability
70 eject Bater-works, and make other
valuable improvements, and 20 to
building houses and thrive In busi-
ness, so as 70 be able to furnish en-
ployment for thousands Of laborers.
The poor VIII find work and wages
and comfort, when the city begins
again to thrive in the confidence Of
good administration. Now, the city
is unable to pay, OF when it does pay,
the paper given is far under par. How
different it viii be for the city en-
ployes and the poor when the city is
no longer run On the Citizens Bank
plan, and when merchants, builders,
mechanics, and citizens thrive again.

THE APPEAL has not sought to
derogate from Mr.. WALKERS claims
to popular respect. He has intelli-
genee enough, and tact, to fit him for
the position to which he aspires. He
has infinite shrewdness, and if he had
not been seized upon by, and identi-
fed with, the Radical party, he might
have triumphed. Mr.. WALKER him.
self was stronger than the clique
which appropriated him, and his as
sent to this Identification with the
Radicals destroyed his last hope OF
success. If we could possibly be mis-
taken in these assumptions, the fact
that Mr.. LYNN will weld the strength
of the original simon-pure Radicals,
and will share the negro vote, des-
troys all possibility Of MI. WALKERS
election.

THE Avalanche tells us that WAL
KER had sold out of the Citizens Bank
before its suspension. That is to say,
he shrewdly say the downfall of his
house of cards, and stood from under.
But, adds the AUaLanche, ''notwith-
standing he was not legally liable for
the redemption Of the notes, he took
charge of the broken bank and adjust
ed its liabilities" That was certainly
very clever in Mr.. WALKER. OF
course, he felt under no particular OBJ
legation of any kind as to the bank
only went in just as he did into the
melee at st. Peters, for charity's sake.
Wonder if the depositors and credit
ors got all their money? We know
some very poor men who seem to be
anything but satisfied on that sub
inct.

THE AUaJanche filings at what was

Ring. Why then did It not buy up
the scrip? We think that was done

stealage and taxation to go by the
hundreds of thousands into the hands
Of men who did not pay over the

not for their creation. Its sole design

IF THE. people Of Memphis would
have honest business men in offices to
be filed by the Mayor, they should
not fail to see that every possible vote
is polled for Mr.. JOHNSON. The rea-
son that scoundrelism and incapacity

those most deeply interested in good
government are least active and zeal
