THE rrpH ron ACTON.

II will not be the fault of the APPEAL,
should the psopls Of Memphis fail to elect
John johnson mayor. These columns
attest how often we have urged upon
evorv good citizen to come up TO the sup
port of a faithful public ser-snts We
shall continue 70 urge every voter to do
his duty to the city, to his family and to
the public, by falling not, on any pre-
license whstever, to cast his vote for the
reelection of 6 mayor who hiss reduced
this city debt, and whose administration
hiss been i~ncorruptible. The repatriation
of voters has been large. In this respect
tbs people have manifested 6 eommends-
bic interest in the prosperity Of the
city. But certificates of registration
arc worthless unless the holder votes
and takes some interest In secur-
ing e victory. Men have often been
defeated by the over-eonfdence of friends
and the activity and assiduity Of q fussy
minority. A full vote viii gi=e johnson
several thousand majority; but the fsct
that his opposition Is weak, decrspit and
dropping, has lessened the zeal OF those
friends who never vote unless the contest
be close. The luke-wsrm politicians; the
walters upon Providence, who have been
lamenting over the inevitable ruin of the
country, and yet refuse TO act like men
and freemen to recover their rights, will
be sgsin keenly rebuked if, by their indif-
ference or neglect to vote, John Johnson
should be defeated. We are aware that In
al times and in al countries there are q
class of men so exclusively engrossed in
their own personal pursuits and
ACKNOWLEDGMENT that they have neither
time TO look to heaven for q
sszr, nor to the earth for a flower. In
former elections it has been no easy mat
ter TO arouse the mass of the people to a
dae sense Of the Importance Of an intel
Iesrusl discharge of the elective duty.
One is busy At his farm, and another at
his merchandise. They trust each that
his neighb0r will 60 to the polls. His own
vote viii not be wanted. In this way
our very prosperity becomes 8 source OF
danger, unfolding il it's bosom q principle
Of selfdestruction. While the great mass
Of the people are devoted to their private
svocations, the sll-importsnt right Of
sudrsge is left to be performed by tho
professed politicians, and conse-
quently under the influence Of
party passions and selfish cslcu-
lstion. This indifference has been the
csnker in the body polite. But elsewhere
the people have risen in all their majesty,
and in tones of thunder have proclaimed
their determination to discharge their
duty as good citizens. In the approaching
municipal election We call upon the peo-
pie to arouse themselves, and to give to
the world q bright example Of the true
beauty Of a republican system. Without
party slogans snd discipline; without
bsing swsyed by selfish motives; strsn-
gers + csbsl and intrigue, let them take
the election into their own hands, and
sympathetic zeal unite in n con-
centrsted and triumphant effort for John
Johnson. /

and desperate condition. The governor, stat

proud OF the stand I have taken, N even tht
Democrats applaud me. The praise OF enc
mics Is sometimes suspicious, but, when dc
served, it is gratifying.
The Republican adds:
A report WAS presented to the South Carolins
house of representatives last Thursday, by the
committee on investigation, headed by Z. Z
Bowen, 10 the fleet that the State had been
defrauded by an over-issue Of S6gSl4,O0 and

DEATH OF "TAD LINCOLN. Thomas
Lincoln (better known by the pet name
of "Tad," which his father gave him
when a child) the youngest son of ex.
President Abraham Lincoln, died in
Chicago, Saturday, after several week s
illness. He was over eighteen years OF
age. and his death has caused sincere
sadness in many hearts. About two and
half years ago, his mother took him to
Europe, where, in Frankfort-on-the-M Main
he was placed in school. He applied
himself assiduously TO his studies, had
become quite scholar, and succeeded in
entirely overcoming the impeachment in
his speech. About two months ago he
returned with his mother to this cty
where they have been residing ever since
About two weeks after their return he
was taken ill with severe cold, which
gradually assumed q pleuritic and
dropsical from, from which he had suffered
greatly, and which finally caused his
death.
/ The calamity has overwh elmed Mrs
Lincoln and her sole surviving son
Robert, with sorrow. Misfortune has
made heavy work with the Lincoln
family ever since that fatal night in April
1865. ~

a GOOD CANDIDATE.-The kenashs

Mr.. Petit is an excellent man for the

MI. Petit personally, as the candidate
Of the office Holders ring, and the Ra-
cine Journal; and in the name Of the en-
tire people Of the State, denounce the
whole thing. Yes, we highly approve
OF the nomination of Mr.. Petit, DIT zoe

The Kenosha TELEGRAPH was not the
first to bring out the name of Miltan FL.
Petit as candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. We saw his name mentioned in a
number Of other papers for the office
before saying anything on the subject.
Seeing the fitness of the man for the
Office aud Of the Office for the man, we
expressed approval of what the papers
said and joined with them in bringing
out his name for the Office. And we are
pleased to see that the Journal highly
approves of the nomination Of Mr.. Petit

RIOTS IN NEW YORK

RIOTS In NEW YORK.
The late riot in New York was more
fatal and disastrous In its results than was
thought at our last issue. A larger NUM-
| Der of citizens who had no connection
with the rioters, or military or police
! were killed and wounded than we then
supposed. a larger number Of rioters
too were killed and wounded than we
then supposed. Still the riot was nothing
compared with the riot Of 1868 Though
the causes of the riots were apparently
different, the rioters were of the same
classes and were actuatcd by the same
motives. La both cases they had been,
or were being, exasperated and were
doing battle to destroy the causes Of their
transportation, so that in future time they
need not be eXasperated. In one respect
there was an important difference. In
1868 Gen Seymour addressed the rioters
by the endcaring title Of my Friends. }"
In 1871 Gov Hoffman addressed the riot,
ers with a proclamation warning them
TO keep the peace, and with police and
military force-with bayonetpowder and
ball The difference in the disastrous re-
suits of the two riots speaks loudly in
favor Of the Hoffman plan. And as that
plan has law, order, justice and equal
rights, in its favor, it should always be
applied to \ people who become riotous,
At present we have nothing to say as
to the difference between the Orangemen
and Observation-Disclosures Protestant
Irish and Catholic Irish between Protest
ants and Catholics. If one has right
to assemble 0 celebrate. a day or an event
peculiarly their own SO has the other
The Orangeman, the Hibernian, the Irish
man,the Catholic, The Protestant, who asks
for himselfwhat he is not willing should
be secured to another differing from him
"a politics and religion, has rot vet learned
the meaning Of freedom, equal rights, and
liberation. And when he can not tolerate
another in the enjoyment of the freedom
and equal rights which he claims for him
selfand by force undertakes to prevent it,
force is the proper remedy to be APP
piled. And when there is threatening
aud riotous demonstrations made by large
collections Of people there should be no
tampering with such people. The appli
cation Of adequate force to dispense them
should oe quick, sharp and decisive Such
u riotons people will learn useful lesson
from powder and ball quicker than from
anything else, and it is the duty of the
Government not only to keep the peace
but to teach rioters lesson not to be or-
gotten. And to The Government the PEG
pie should look to prevent riots and to
deal with rioters. If Governments are
held to strict accountability there will be
no need for Protestant Leagues to meet
Catholic riots. Government should know
no Protestant, no Catholic and no Re-
lgionist of any kind, except to afford
equal rights and equal protection co all.
And the fewer leagues and organizations
of religionists for opposing each ether
the better for people of all religions and
for our common country. .a
