Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-02-20

WE hope the State Convention will
listen to the arguments which have
been urged on its attention by the
Memphis memorialists, among whom
will be found as many men of sense
as the Convention contains, men OF
sound and practical judgments as to
business matters, and some among
whom have worthily filled stations OF
high Importance and eminence. Ex-
p4rience has demonstrated that dis
elimination against merchants strikes
at the welfare of all classes, and Of 9TH
els even more than the merchants
themselves, who will sell high enough
to match the taxes laid on them.
Those States where commerce is freest
have thrived the most, and yield
without oppression to the citizen
the largest revenues. The policy pur-
sued by this State against the mer-
chants, resulting from the numerical
majority of other classes, it may be,
has kept it back, while other States,
more liberal, have gone forward and
outgroWn it. Equal taxation of all
property, and all classes, should now
be fixed in our Constitution, and re-
n1afn there as a principle not to be de
parted from forever. Permanently
and stability, of all interests, is the
first want even of an agricultural, as
well as of a commercial people. The
Legislature should not have the pow
er, as majorities may sway it, to dis
criminate injuriously and practically
against any laudable business.

THE following paragraphs, which we
fad in the New York World, have
been written to a gentleman in New
York by a resident of South Carolina.
They give an inside view ofthe benefits
OF negro supremacy, and are a valuable
argument in support of the policy of
or own State Convention on the suf
frage subject. The proportion of ne
g.oes to whites is a little larger in
SDuth Carolina than in Tennessee; but
that only makes the blessings ofnegro
supremacy more abundant. What a
misfortune it would be for the State if
the Convention should declare negroes
Ineligible to hold offices and sit on jul
ries. But now, thanks to that body,
We are likely to remain perfectly free
to make SambO Governor FIVE choose;
The Legislature of this State is now
slttng In Columbia, having in il sew
el1ty-hve negroes, being twO-thirds of
the whole number; the other third i
made up of Adventures from New
England, carpet-baggers as they are
called here-pUt down as white in the
catalogue, but, if their deeds are 10
marx their true color, they are as
black as the blacklist.
These men are recent corners into
the State. They have not the re-
hottest interest in the South, except so
far as they can enrich themselves by
monopolizing the offices. They live
generally with the negroes, and thus
are sent by their votes to the Legisla-
ture, a certain number Of colored men
being put on the ticket with them, as
many as may be necessary to pass
Just such laws as they will dictate

The Case Of Fiiz John Porter.

WASHINGTON, February 1J.-Gen-
eraI FitZ John POTter's case Is in the
hands of the President. bearing Gen
eraI Shermanis Endorsement Of POP
ter's application for q remission Of
penalties. General Porter does not
seek nor desire q pardon, but q re-
vision of his ease, III the presence Of
new evidence. His friends state that
he is willing to submit his case To the
President, General Sherman, and the
Secretary OF War, or other high
officers.
Under the act of Congress passed in
1860, the President may practically
revise C0urt-martial proceedings IS a
reappOiatmeHt OF the Psriy aEacted
by its verdict. a renGniBatiOn
places the matter before the SeBate, or
the Executive may, without appOint-
ment, remit penalties where 5ngsGce
mas been done. =
Gen. Porter seeks a remission only,
at this time, and insists that the Gov
eminent can not properly refuse to
hear tine new evidence.
The following Is an extract from an
opinion Of Gen. Mcclellan:
''The additional evidence, now at
tainablc shows, beyond question, that
General Pope was mistaken in the be-
lief which ne then entertained, that
Longstreet was still remote from the
field of battle, and that Porter had
only a small force in his front. 1t
proves that an attack made by Porter
at any time after General AcDOwelIs
departure would, in all probability,
Git might be said with certainty, were
there any such thing as absolute cer-
tainty in war; have resulted in a COM
plete repuise, with great and useless
sacrifice OF life. 1t proves that POr-
ter5 arrangements were excellent,
since they enabled him to
hold a greatly superior force in
check. 1t proves that, far from meT-
itiDg the severe sentence imposed
upon him, he, in fact, deserved great
praise for his conduct On that day.
Justice requires General POrter's con-
duct on the 30th, when, as is acknOwl-
edged, he fought his corps most ner
geticaHy and desperately, should be
kept in mind when forming IA OpiR-
ion Of the transactions of the 18th;

it not evident enough that the com

be fostered rather than repressed?
Can any doubt that commerce and
agriculture must thrive together, If at
all? Can one be injured without the
other? Can any man givea reason why
one should be taxed more than the
other, when one is as beneficial as the
other? The reason Why IL is done is
ore which puts US to shame. It'll be-
cause the merchants are numerically
in the minority, and their enterprise
has given them something of which
they can be readily plundered. II
