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

THE working people Of Memphis
have a true representative in Mr..
JOHNSON. He began life penniless
and unknown. He was not born with
a silver spoon in his mouth, nor did
he achieve a competency by specula-
ton. By steady toll and prObity and
excellent sense he has won q good
name and good estate. He compre-
bends the wants and necessities and
aspirations of working men, and if
they would have a Mayor who would
serve and honor them, they cannot
fail to support him tomorrow.

So FAR from JOHNSON never doing
anything for prisoners at the Irving
Block or elsewhere, we are informed
that he omitted no opportunity to do
all the kind acts Of that sort in his
power during the war. He was for
nine months compelled to report to
that institution as a prisoner himself.
The truth is, he was always promi-
nsnt in works of charity, and is now
one Of the most esteemed members of
the order Of Good Fellows, known as
"Odd Fellows Of this city-the most
efficient order for the purposes of be-
nevolence in the world. And we
doubt whether they have a more dill
gent worker in the organization.

WHEN it was sought by the Federal
authorities, when masters of Mem
phis, to force Mr.. JOHNSON into their
military service, he asserted the truth,
that he was born a British subject,
Many uniformed people have been
made to believe that he sought Brit
ish protection to escape the Confed-
crate service. Beware of those trick
sters who go about to-day misleading
the innocent and unwary.

THE charge is made against Mr..
JOHNSON that he sought British pro-
lection against coascriptiOH By the
CoTgederdcy. We understand that he
did this only to escape the Federal
service. His sympathies were with
the South. And he resorted to any
means in his power to escape the pre-
dicament Of being compelled to wear
the blue, and act against his friends
and neighbors. If any man condemns
him, therefore, it viii be because he
would not act with the invader against
his fellow-citizens of his adopted cOun-
try. Not ever Union men, Radicals
or Federals should blame him for that.

THE AUaldnche claims to have been
willing to abide the nomination Of
the Democratic Convention. We
suppose the meaning of that must be
that it was willing to support the
nominee, on the condition its OWL
candidate should be nOminated. Why
did not the A0alanche support Mr..
WOODRUFF? The APPEAL did SO
the moment the nomination was
made, when, in point Of fact, Mr..
WOODRUFF, though highly esteemed,
was not the first choice Of the APPEAL
for the Mayoralty.

Reader, if at hear you belong to the
" coming church," is il not your duty to
go down South and help save a whole
race from a~nnihilation? For the blacks
by nature and ages of servitude are unfit
ted to cope, individually, with the selfish
ness, snares and vices of the white race.
Cooperation or humiliation is their des-
tiny. And cooperation, to be successful
with them, mast be organized by persons

IF JOHNSON did not choose to go
into the Federal service, and, to avoid
it, claimed British protection, what
greater wrong did he commit than
those who, under the Confederate Con-
script Act, pleaded the fact Of an
tiquity? We know a very proper
gentleman who was forty when the
wal began and ffty-siX whenit closed.
His age was determined by change
ful Confederate laws, defining the

THE AUaJaRcbe says "the APPEAL
is nothing, unless Democratic" We
thank our neighbor for the compli-
ment. We suppose he means by that
that we are something, as we are
Democratic all the time. We would
advise him to get back into the Dem
Ocratic fold as fast as possible, and not
run of with WALKER after the ne
grOes. As he coCld not win the ne
grOes over to his side, the only way to
get with them is to go over to theirs.
But that is a poor business, which will
not be profitable in the long run.

IT is more important to his own in

would secure such blessings viii vote

A York paper tells story Of the seventh
son of family in that place, who was ap-
prenticed to q carpenter at Logansvllle.-
He was recently suddenly startled by SUI
pernatural presence in his bed room, who
represented that he had watched over him
from his infancy. and that the time had
come TO make an extraordinary revelation.
A work was appointed for him TO accom-
plish. At a certain place he was to dig,
when he should find that which was intend
ed for him. lie was also fully assured that
no harm should come to him il he would
but obey orders. The boy refused accom-
pnnying the queer visitant, and started
home to ask the advice Of his parents They
consulted him to follow the directions o
his mysterious visitor. and he started Tor
the place designed. On the road he met
two men, 10 whom he explained bis errand.
They insisted on accompanying him, but
were Frustrated by an invisible power, and
remained insensible for some time. Arriv-
ed at his destination, the boy found, upon
digging, golden key, and on going lower,
a box which the golden key alone would
open. He was told that the box is to- bf
placed in q church and at the end Of seven
years it is to be opened before the assemb-
ed congregation, when all would be found
written upon the paper inside and the
whole of the mystery will be solved. What
ever he saw or heard besides these thing:
he is not permitted to tell. May we live tt
see the mystery explained.
