THE San Domingo affair, as devel-
oped in senatorial debates and as facts
have been elected from many agents
employed in negotiations for the pur-
chase OF the island, becomes absolute
ly disgraceful. Nothing like it has
ever happened before. Had Andrew
| JOhnson's connection with such an I'M
blushing scheme of knavery been
thus clearly established he would have
been hurled from his place and con-
signed to deserved infamy. Secret
means of effecting his end were en-
ployed by President Grant, He re-
sorted to the secret service fund with
ont stint. More than one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in gold are
known to have been used, but who
received and what pimps of the
President were enriched the pub
lie a never know. American
vessels withdrawn from Cuban
waters, where American citi-
zens were constantly slaughtered,
have been employed to control an
election conducted by negro savages
in San Domingo, that half the island
might become the property of the
United States, and managers of the
lob make millions. So villainous was
the proposed transaction in all its
shameful aspects that it was impossi-
bic to consolidate in its favor decently
honest Radical Senators in Congress.
The failure to effect this consumma-
ton, hastens the disruption of Radical-
ism, and the final catastrophe is not
remote. Grants obstinacy, incompe-
tency and practices of nepotism, have
all been illustrated in this one single
series of petty tricks and sublime
bIunders which have degraded the
Office he administers. President
johnson was alleged by his enemies
to be a model of sublime o~bstinacy;
but this was redeemed by his
wonderful and confessed native
ability. Grants perversity has
no counter vailing quality, and
there is no agency of force which
binds the party to the President ex-
cept the patronage which he wields
so unwisely for himself and so disas-
trously for the Government. That
an issue direct, palpable and incura-
bic will soon be made between the
President and his party we deem an
inevitable necessity. The only dan
ger which the Democratic party en-
counters, and which must be sedu-
lousy guarded against, results from
this disruption of Grants party.
There is no question as to the future
supreme potency of Democracy, and
we have only feared that it might be-
come too strong for cohesion and that
unwise ~soreheads, such as have here
and there sought a little nOtoriety in
West Tennessee, might seek TO dis
member it on some empty issue in
volving foolish prejudices rather than
sound conclusions and opinions.
Grant will soon "hop" IN one direc-
ton or another, toward Democracy
or New England Radicalism, and
then Democracy is supreme.

ONE Barnes, a Radical and there
fore entitled to live Off the deIuded
and plundered slaves OF the Congress
siOnal oligarchy, recently contested
the Congressional seat of George N.
Adams, of Kentucky. Barnes had
not the shadow of right to the place,
but his partisan friends have a major
ity in Congress, and they gave The
fellow from the Federal treasury
5000. In fact the business of contest
ing seats in Congress has become a
profession, and the best paying to
which any Radical, carpet-bagging
rascal can resort. Barnes never had
SO much money in all his life, and
having neither ability ner learning,
he not only escapes the necessity or
showing the public in Congress what
an ass he is, but is handsomely paid
for escaping the calamity to himself
and his country.

The appended letter from a gentle
man in this city who has recently
traversed North Carolina and is a cit
izen of that State, should be copied
by the Pittsburg Post. "Concord" re-
plies to an article from the Post pub
Iished in the APPEAL, in order that
its false statements might be correct
ed. Holden is only playing in North
Carolina the horrible role enacted by
Brownlow, and, disgusting and indie
fensible as his conduct may be, he
fails to equal our illustrious Senator
when he was our Chief Executive,
and appealed for security to the torch
and turpentine militia. Holden has
an ak to grind. He would make the
fires that glow on affairs of Radical
hatred burn more fiercely. He would
weld together the broken fragments
of his moribund party by re-exciting
sectional passions. He would make
the world believe that he does, as he
should, inhabit a veritable hell. The
world has learned long ago how
Brownlow misrepresented his own
State, how Morton detained and viii
fed the South, and yet this original
secessionist, Holden, of whom Sam.
Bard is the only imitator
that lives, outvies all Union men or
Radicals in hostility TO States and
people whom he had betrayed. So of
Beast Buffers enmity to Democracy,
and of SOutherners who allied them
selves with Northern armies. Rene
gades and traitors are ever more ter
rible, passionate and lawless than
those who naturally and honestly es-
pouse a country's cause. Holden now
wins an Immortality OF infamy.
Shameful, disgusting and brutal is his
conduct, when he hatters the son of
Stephen A. Douglas, and to make
himself respectable travels with this
youth to Washington, and thus lives
under the shadow of departed great
ness. The note of the North Caro-
linian is as follows:
Editors Memphis Appeal: Having no.
ticed, in the Memphis APPEAL, an extract
from the Pittsburg Post that ~"affairs il
North Carolina appear as bad as the most
ferocious lawlessness can make them"
ETC., L feel it a duty to say that this ex-
~traVagant statement is wholly untrue.
True, the Old North State has been de-
graded and impoverished by Radical
rule; but, that the courts do not take
cognizance of and promptly punish all
offenders within their reach, / emphati-
cally deny. pronounce Holden's militia
organization wholly needless, and an
outrageous and uncalled-for infringement
of the rights of North Carolina.

THE Murfreesboro Monitor says
that the venerable Gates, editor of
the West Tennessee Wig, has started
out OF a mission to destroy, demoI-
ish, annihilate and otherwise fatally
injure the Democratic party. He
fumes from the lecture stand, and is
mighty in the columns of his paper.
We believe the amiable old gentle
man has been engaged in this profit
less warfare ever since the discovery
of this continent by Christopher
Columbus, with the intermission OF
only a few years, and this rest ap-
pears to have given him renewed en-
ergy. We hope he may find much
amusement in his novel employment.
But, badinage eside, what can possess
any sensible, true Southern man to
throw obstacles in the way of the suc-
cess of the only party in which the
South-in truth the whole country
has the slightest hopes of a restora-
ton of her political rights? We
must embrace Democracy or Radical
ism. There is no intermediate stop
ping place.

THE West Tennessee Wing repro
duces most of an article that appeared
some days ago in the APPEAL. It
says the APPEAL has wheeled sud-
denly, decisively and irrevOcably into
the line of the most moderate and
sensible Conservatism" There was
no wheeling" TO be done. The AP-
PEAL has ever been moderate, sensi-
BILE and conservative" and these
qualities made it Democratic and
bitterly hostile to Radicalism. When
advised by Democratic Congressman
that only a certain class of political
thinkers, and only those who could
take the test-Oath would be permitted
to sit in Congress, we asSented TO the
wisdom of accepting a palpaple ne
cessity. The Fourteenth Amend
ment defines classes who cannot hold
political or civil offices. We have
only advised our readers to beware of
a~ugmenting Radical power by elect
ing Democrats who cannot serve.
There are a~spirants, as we are now
advised, ineapacitated by Radical
legislation for positions which
they sought. We have simply
stated facts ascertained without
any change whatever in u opinions
as to the wisdom or justice of the law
or as to the personal worth of dis
qualified candidates. The APPEAL
has taken no "new departure" as al
legged, and our cotempOrary is
wholly mistaken. 1t is only true
that we have learned that certain in
dividuals r obnoxious to provisions
of Federal law which exclude them
from Office. We never objected to
men, but proposed to obey the law;
we accept no new principle, but re-
cognize facts and a palpable necessity.
We accept nome of the twaddle of the
third party organs" but bow before
an iron necessity which it is worse
than folly just now to resist. The

for the Peeler, Mo.na, and other varieties OF

Mr.. Pratt has made upward of GOO Gins
for India, Egypt, Mexico, Brazil and the

satisfaction. His Gin ooh the $50 premium
and diploma at the Shelby County Fair at
Memphis, and the $40 premium at the Georgia

THERE are two kinds of disabilities
affecting those who aspire to offices;
1st, those that prevent one from hold
ing a State office; I'd, those that inter-
diet the tenure of a Federal office.
There are many who may hold a State
Office who could not sit in Congress,
because of the necessity for taking the
test oath. There are many aspirants
for State offices who, if elected, are
not debarred from accession to places
sought, simply because no test oath is
administered; and yet these same
gentlemen could not sit beside But
Ter in Congress. We therefore are
subjected to fewer restrictions in Sc
lecting judges and candidates for GU
bernatorial honors than when seeking
for a fit representative for this district
in the United States Congress.
