GREAT interest now exists as to
what is to be done by the now dead,
carpet-bag Sing-Singer Whittemore.
VIII he ''squeaP' or uOt-wiH he be
bought off and silenced or not-that is
the question. All Washington is
in tremors. Never was such a
fiutter created in the Radical
camp as by his arraignment. The
members saw coming up for review
their whole criminal career for FIVE
years, with the most damaging expos
ures threatened. Butler, Of the spoons,
lnterposed his immaculate self in the
breach tosave the. culprit. Mr.. Jencks,
Mr.. Banks, Mr.. TOlbert and
many more were seized with a SINH
lar panic, at the mention of proceed
ing with so disastrous an inquiry. An
opportunity might be afforded for ex-
animation Of ten thousand and one
other cases, Of millions Of pecu-
lations and infamies, and they
shrank back appalled,. If none
but Whittemore, like Rutter, of school
fund notoriety, were to become vic
tins, there would be no hesitation.
But there was the rub. Whittemore
ought to be driven from society as well
as rom Congress. But ought not
Butler and a hundred more share
the same fate? The Radical
party is doomed, if investigation
proceeds in good faith. VIII White
more tell what he knows, and can tell
on his confederates? They dare not
meet the scrutiny, which, under
charges, honest men cOvet. But we
think the discovery of one rascal will
have an effect t. check the rest. And
more, that now thepublic mind is put
on fresh inquiry, it win be more diff
cult .thun ever to suppress it. The
sins of the Radical party begin to find
it out. Public condemnation viii
follow-investigation or no investiga-
ton by the jury Of culprits on them
selyes-and it viii bury like an ava
lanche the party, which, in the name
Of liberty, union and patriotism, has
disgraced the century.

WE understand the merchants pro-
pose to discuss, at a meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce TO be held to-
day, the question of acceptance Of the
new Constitution, with especial refer
ence to their own interests. Injustice
has been done the mercantile interest
in that instrument beyond a doubt
recognizing as it does the principle of
a right TO privilege taxation as apply
ing to mercantile pursuits, and giving
discretion to the Legislature TO levy
such a tax. But it does not command
the Legislature to tax merchants I'M
equally, and that may be prevented
by the discussion OF the subject and
the control of the people over the Leg
islature. If there was no other issue
we should say unhesitatingly, reject
the Constitution. But we think
Il better as it is TO accept
the instrument with all its grievous
faults. and trust to time and justice
and the second sober thought to re-
form it. This may be done at any
time by the same process, and il is
much 10 be doubted whether influ-
ences donot exist which render it inn
possible we should do any better now.

AFTER nine years Of wanderings
more wonderful than those of Ulysses,
and years characterized by as fearful
events as those that made memorable
the fall of Troy, the APPEAL is at
last re-established in its original
abiding place. Its history through
the past decade would be a history Of
the SOuth-ofi its triumphs and defeats,
Of battles lost and victories won.
There is not a distinguished citizen OF
the South whose virtues were not re-
cognized, during these ten years, in
the pages Of the APPEAL; there is no
soldier, Of the north or south, whose
valor honOred the fag beneath which
he fought, whose deeds are not cele-
brated in the pages Of the APPEAL.
The APPEAL was at hand, beheld Nc
Pherson's fall at ATLANTA, and rendered
the tribute Of praise to heroism, gen
erosity and manly worth. 1t
recited in sorrowing accents the
extraordinary incidents of the
extraordinary death Of perhaps
the finest gentleman and most reck-
ess soldier the South produced, when
Bishop General Polk was slain. There
is not extant so minute and perfect
a history OF the war, presented in its
Southern aspect, as we find industri-
ously recited in the pages of the AP-
PEAL Of each week and month and
weary year of the so-called mighty
rebellion" If the fame Of the good
and great should be carefully guarded;
if falsehood should be corrected and
truth impaired to the pages Of future
history, States that love the fame and
would honor the heroic deeds Of their
children are as much interested as
ourselves in guarding the volumes Of
the APPEAL. In truth the very
name Of the venerable journal
is the synonym OF Southern
endurance and suggestive Of vicissi-
tudes Of military fortune and Of that
3delity to convictions of right in war
and politics which has characterized,
from its natal hour, each utterance Of
the MEMPHIS APPEAL. In its old
home on Union street, the APPEAL
viii gladly welcome, especially those
who have shared its fortunes and
opinions through so many years. Its
policy is still unchanged. 1t win
"appeal" to the reason and intellect
rather than passions Of men, and IL
lustrste the hour and manhood of the
South whose paths r ever concur
rent with those Of truth, interest and
right. Neither the patriotism Of the
nor modest worth of woman,
shall be made to blush by any utter
of the APPEAL. Its recent pros
perity has been almost unexampled
and i.-can never prove faithless to
those who have 50 steadiastly adhered
to it amid all its vicissitudes of
fortune.

Constitution Of 1860, with protection
to the life, liberty and property of all
races alike, and done no more, we
should have been better satisfied. But
there are times when we must choose
one of two evils, and then it is better
to choose the least. With the
exception OF the franchise and
Office to negroes, and this alb
surd and shameful feature as to
merchants, there is nothing in the
new Constitution which is not endur-
able for a time. And by adopting
the new Constitution we gain a power
for future reformation which we
have not now in consequence of dis
franchisement Of the most intelligent
and patriotic classes of our popula-
ton. We would adopt this Constitu-
ton and amend and reform it at the
earliest moment. We accept it under
protest.
