Most certainly, Mr.. Stewart did not select
these articles in the interest of Protection; and
if Blankets would have helped the other side,
Blankets would have figured in the list. These

The counsel for Reynolds, the convicted
murderer threatens writ dc iun0tico inqui-

grounds for believing him insane, well and

on the finding OF verdict declaring him ir-
responsible for his acts, the District-Attorney
fails, as in all precedent cases, to secure his
incarceration as q lunatic. The theory of his

Mr.. Seward has returned from his long tour.
He was heartily welcomed home by many per-
sonal friends, and formally welcomed by five
Aldermen, who rendered him the usual freedom
of the city. We trust, for the sake of the host
as well as for that of the guest, that his public
reception, when held, will be less the formal,
unmeaning exhibition that such occasions
generally are, and moro the spontaneous,
generous welcome due our distinguished States
man.

1t is hardly more surprising to see Hiram
Revels of Mississippi figuring in the Senate
than to see bred Scott of Missouri figuring
there. Senator Vickers dragged in bred yes
terday as proof that Hiram should be kept
out. The same thing had been done the day
before by Senator Salisbury. Both of these
gentlemen seem to have overlooked the fact
that bred Scott is a dead African, while Hiram
Revels is live American citizen.

CARD FROM CoLoNEL E. W. MUNFoRD.
To the Editor of the Ledger:
1t seems my letter published in the
APPEAL of this morning is construed into
an unqualified acceptance of a candidacy
for the Senate. Such was not my mean
ing. On the other hand, I said the call
had come too late; that l could not con-
sent to hazard the harmony of our party;
that l did not want the position of Iegis-
lstor, and that my friends could use my
name either in that connection or for the
Lower House only TO PreserUe oar UNITY
aud h~1rmoHy-a contingency which / did
not anticipate. Now, the plain English OF
this is, candidates are to be selected for
both the Senate and Lower House. l
want neither position. But l am a citi-
zen, and as such owe it to my people il
they get into an unanticipated j~uncture
where 1 become necessary for either po-
sition, and my selection viii insure har-
mopy, that l should be willing to serve.
This is a simple duty of citizenship, OBJ
ligatory upon every man in a republic.
If my nomination does not become neces-
sary it will be to me a qualification. I
think my letter, candidly read, would
show this to hsye been my meaning and
wish. Our harmony is the most important
consideration now. Respectfully,
ED. W. MUNFORD.

BARNuM.
A Public B%ensfactor.

Memphis will soon have what she has
needed so long, viz: A public town clock.
Many efforts ave been made by our citi-
zens at various times to raise by subscrip-
tions, money enough to purchase a city
clock. The Board Of Mayor and Alder
men have also had the subject before
them, n at one time voted to pay one
halt the expense of a clock, provided the
citizens aud property-holders of Mem
phis would pay the other half. A COM
mittee was appointed to secure subserip-
lions. After c~anyassing for a few days,
the project was abandoned, and each per
son was left free to regulate their own
time. We are pleased to learn that Mem
phis may boast ofone citizen with enough
public spirit to 20 forward, and at his
own cost, make the -m~aeh-needed public
improvement. We ungerstand that Mr.. E.
ID. Barnun, ofthe firm of +. ID. Barnum &
Co., ordered from the mandatory of
Hotchkiss & Co., New York, in June last,
the works for a first-class town clock.
The dial plates will be of the largest size.
illuminated SO as TO Indicate the
time both day and night. The
pedestal to support the clock will
be made of iron, at the works of
Messrs. Robert Woods * Co, Philadel-
phia, bronzed and highly ornamented.
The clock will be placed at the intersec-
ton of the south west corner of Court
and Main streets, and regulated and kept
in order under Mr.. Barnum's own super
vision. We believe this improvement
will be of great benefit to our various
banks, railroads and business men of
Memphis, as it will enable all to have a
true standard of time by which each per-
son can regulate his appointments.
Mr.. Barnum is now in New York super
intending the construction of the work,
and when completed he will ship them
Immediately, and bring with him the
necessary workmen to put together the
machinery of this mighty time piece. We
hope soon to have the satisfaction of an
nouncing to mankind that Memphis has
a town clock; that notaries public know
when to protest a piece of paper; that
railway trains know at last when to ar
rive and depart; and that all men of good
morals nay know when to go TO bed.
Mr.. Barnum's public spirit supplies a
great public want, and his generosity
will be gratefully appreciated by the peo-
pie of Memphis.

Colonel Moses r. Parrish, Bolivar, Tenn;
Dear Sri am Just In receipt of your
letter of b 9th inst, and in reply would
respectfully state that / am unconscious
Of any act of mine which can possibly
exclude me from holding a seat in the
Congress of the United States, If elected
thereto. l am under no disabilities con-
templated in the Fourteenth Amend
ment, nor can the iron-clad oath exclude
me. Having never been within the Con-
federate inc of military occupation dur
ing the war, L had no opportunity of
seeing armed hostility to the Government
of the United States, and therefore could
not give it encouragement or assistance.
To the charge 50 extensively circulated,
that 1 am under disability, on
account of my actions in aiding

the relief of the destitute and needy
women and children; and ON account OF
my contributions TO disarmed and suffer

in each and every instance / had the writ
ten permission OF General W. 7. Sher-
man., or other Federal commanders as this

ventiOn OF her people should determine
to withdraw from the National Union,
that l would acquiesce in the act.
Her citizens did meet in sovereign
convention and refused to dissolve her
connection with the Federal compact,
consequently I considered my allegiance
due to the Government OF the United
States, and SO bore myself consistent
with such position throughout the war
which followed. Those who know me

received the protection of the Govern
ment, Of then violating the confidence

that had 1 been a citizsn of Tennessee at

Il We hope 10 be able to make 9fa70rabas
report of the Nominating Convention to
be held to-day. It is generally agreed,
and understood, we believe, that one can
didate Will be nominated from the city,
and the other from the country. We pre-
sumo there will be perfect harmony in
he Convention, but in order to secure
success, we would urge the nomination Of
acceptable men. Strong as the Democratic
party is in Shelby county, and thorough as
its organization may be, 1t is not strong
enough to fOist o the public men unit
for lawgivers. We should nominate
men for the Legislature who have a char
acter-a reputation--men who can st and
the test of decency, honesty and capacity;
who can show that they have lived for
some purpose among their fellow-fnen;
who know the wants of our great com
mercial emporium, and who have the in
iueDce and weight Of character to make
themselves felt In the Legislature.
The people VIII not support a scurvy
ticket. The nominees must have a fault
less record-unbought, unbuying and un-
trammelled. The time Is not now when a
reckless ticket can be presented with the
expectation of either drying or enticing
the masses into as reckless a support.
The candidates for the Legislature must
be men who possess the confidence and
respect of the community. QuaIifca-
ton and character should under
lie the nominations. Those should be
selected who are known for. their integri-
ty and intelligence. The delegates havea
solemn duty to perform to-day. They
should calmly and without bias consult
among themselves. There should be q free
questioning and answering, and every
name brought before the convention cam
vassed, as though everything depended
upon the selection. And everything does
depend upon the selection. Although, at
a time like this, much may be conceded
to the efforts OF clamorous friendship
and earnest advocacy, rather than excite
warm if not bitter feeling or a spirit of
controversy, yet the duty must be per
formed, and it is not a matter to
be shufisd Off in a hurry, bat win
take time and fair, earnest con-
Every candidates worth
should be weighed, his character,
his fitness, the general estimation in
which he is held, and the probabilities Of
his success, if nominated. Everything
like a foregone conclusion, by for~estslling
the deliberate voice of the Convention,
be avoided. The men who as
to-day are not convened to repay
any one for former services, or to con-
slider personal OF party obligations in the
past, but to select such candidates for the
offices to be filed as shall be OBJ
noxious to fewest objections and present
the highest claims on the score OF quslif-
To accomplish thus is a difficult
and delicate task, but to endesvor to free
from bias or Partially should
be the determination of every delegate,
and he will not only deserve but receive
appreciation of the people, whose con-
fdence he will honor, and they will con-
firm the choice by their enthusiastic APP
provsl and their votes.
