Here is a hint for American fremen
which they should ponder and act

as particular to prevent damage by
water or by fire, and in 1870 used an
average of only 5000 gallons of water
in eXtInguishing each of 276 serious

pens here that the damage caused by

as disastrous as its entire destruction
would be.

TEE Washington correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette lRadicaD says
that since some changes in the terms
OF admission 90 Congress, it wss eX-
pected au improved class Of Southern
members would appear at the new
session, but that their looks when they
came did not justify the expectation.
He adds:
The rising OF the C0lOred members
10 be sworn attracted much attention
ON the floor and in the galleries, Two
of these noe are Ull blOUded, and one
az them has q Grst-clsss education,
and is able to write and speak four
languages. Two are of mixed blood,
and one Ofthesp, WIS assured, would
make his mark in the FOrty-secOnd
Congress. His whole appearance in
dictates that he has fTst-clsss white
blood I'm him. The admission Of these
members was received as a matter Of
course. Ten years ago three OF the
men were slaves.

WI publish elsewhere the protest
OF Prosser, the late Representative in
Congress from the Nashville district,
against the validity Of the election Of
all the eight members from Tennessee.
As to the grounds taken in the pro
test We may have some comments
tomorrow. But why is PrOsser per
mitted TO contest for his seat on the
ground that neither he nor anybody
else was elected2 He may have the
right 70 dispute the seat Of Colonel
G8Iladav, who beat him twenty-five
hundred votes. But otherwise it
would seem he had just as much right
TO appear as a protestant against the
admission Of the Massachusetts mem
beers as those Of Tennessee; and wedO
not see the propriety Of Congress tax
ing jurisdiction over q matter which
belongs more appropriately to the
state authorities, and has already been
passed on by them in favor Of the
sitting members. No complaint goes
mp from this State against the recep-
ton Of the first body Of representative
men it hss sent to Congress for a series
of years.

As we expected, Memphis has be-
come Tie butt for tbesmau wits Of the
country. The tomfoolery Of supersti-
tiOus dolls and the knavery of a mer-
cenary press have br0ughtOur commu-
nifty into c0ntemptu0us ridicule. Cit
liens, who have recently returned to
Memphis from various sections of the
country, inform us that the people are
laughing and sneeriug at the ghost
humbug which has produced so much
CONSERVATION i'm g civilized, educated
community. The twO-penny letter
writers, the weaver of madri-
gals and the spinner Of lack.a-
daisical verses viii soon satirize the
gullabiity OF al who have pa
tronized the ghost sWindle. It is bad
enough 20 see the ignorant and super
stitious negro deludeJ by a humbug
50 rank, bald and vulgar; but when
white people of education and claim
ing ordinary intellect are victimized,
we may next hear that Washington
and Jefferson have again been made
TO bang upon a table to the great de-
light Of a gaping crowd OF greasy,
vulgar vagabonds and uuclean spirits.
For the sake of common decency, we
trust every man who values the repu-
tatiOn Of our city wiz Join i'm fr0Wning
down a sensation which has brought
our community into deserved Tidicule.

90 that Radical thunder could be
manufactured? His mangled corpse,
impaled by Rebel Ku-Klux, would
have furnished sensational matter for
all the Radical papers in the land for
months to come. Doubtless startling
wood-cuts - representing him, sus-
pended from the limb Of a tree, sur
rounded by crowds Of Kentucky
rebels, shouting and making merry
over his cOntortions Of bOdy-had been
ordered in advance, to illustrate the
Radical pictorials. But the negro
WIS not hung, and the plot failed.
The four men appointed TO assassinate
him az North Benson did not half do
their work. Other means must needs
bp devised to continue the semblance
Of lawlessness in Kentucky. That Of
Thursday night was determined on.
Unfortunately for the success Of the
enterprise, the Ledger exposed it,
before it had time to assume definite
form, and nipped it in the bud"
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-03-11

THE Louisville Ledger gives very
plausible reasons for believing it has
caught the Radicals in another at
tempt 20 get up a Ku-Kiux sensation
for consumption at Washington. The
mail suspension on the Lexington
railroad was e part of "a plot gotten
up ia the Radical c3ucusa al Frankfort.
The officer who ~telegraphed to Louis
vile TO double the guards on the train
10 protect the new appointed negro
mail agent was a member of the
caucus, which was held with closed
doors. There was no rumOr Of any
contemplated attack on the agent, no
threats had been made, no suspicious
characters had beea seen about, there
was no foundation whatever fol-.
alarm or reason why unusual precau-
lion should be taken. The whole
thing was a sham, for the purpose Of
getting up a sensation for the bene-
it of The party, and to give ex-
cuse for Congressional interference.
The Ledger says: "As stated by US
on Saturday, the appointment of this
negro, Gibson, IN the first instance,
was made for this purpose, and for
none other. No sane man doubts
this. The scheme failed. The people
of kentucky were more docile than
was calculated upon. Insulting as
was the appointment of a negro to SO
responsible a place of public trust, the
thing had the semblance of authority,
and the devotion Of the people Of the
State to law aud order caused them to
bear the insult. The negro was not
made the victim Of their spleen, as
had been hoped by those who caused
his appointment. We have no feel
ing of complaint against the negro, in
this matter. He was but a tool-a
cats paw. Els best friends in this
affair are the Democratic people Of
Kentucky. He was appointed by the
Radicals with the hope that he
would be assassinated. What cared
they for the safety Of a poor negro,
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-03-11
