The Case Well Stated.

The Memphis Ledger puts the ques-
tion with much force, II the South IL
overrun by Kuklux and these
Kuklux are chasing and hang
ing negroes all over theSouth,
how did it happen that such an Inn
mense cotton crop was raised and
secured last year2 How does it hap-
pen that the prospect is 50 fine this
season? The convenient Witnesses
before the Kuklux Committee have
not deposed, and dare not depose, that
negroes have been driven from the
fields by Kuklux, or that planting
operations have been interfered with
in a solitary instance. The whole
thing is q monstIous falseho0d, born
in rascality and nurtured in corrup-
ton. Upon the forehead Of the pre-,
tense that the negroes of the South
are maltreated by an organization
known as the Kuklux, and ramify-
ing all over the South, the lie should
be burned bone deep-so deep that no
probe could sound it, and no art erase
it. 1t is time to speak out on this sub
ject.

The Editor of the Shelbyyille
Rescue is prodigy-chief among
ten thousand, and altogether Won
derful. He didn't discover perpetu-
al motion, a phantom he pursued for
many long and weary years; but he
has accomplished quite as great an
achievement. He is an ANDREW
JOHNSON Constitutional Conserva-
tive Democrat and a jeff Davis i'm
practicable, accept-notbing, Bourbon,
at one and the same time. lie stands
with one foot with each of these po-
litical antipodes and recOnciles the
conflicting difference with the calm
serenity of a mild and gentle philo-
sopher! In fact he has demonstrated
not that perpetual motion is re-
atty and does exist-but that oil
and water, politically speaking at
least, can be made to mix with scien-
tific harmony. 5-.fi..r 81

The Memphis Appeal.

Col. NJ. G. GALI.AwAY succeeds the
venerable Col. TYLER as editor-in-
chief Of the Memphis Appeal Col.
GALLAwAY has long enjoyed . ma
tional reputation as quick and ready
writer of great force and power. But
few men connected with the Southern
press occupy so distinguished position
in journalism. Whilst the editor of
the avalanche, q journal established
by him, he was among the first in the
South to take an advanced position
and urge our people to accept the
situation in good faith, guaranteeing to
the colored man all the civil and polit-
ical rights that had been conferred up
on him. And we hope now to see the
appeal under its new management,
experience most desirable change In
the policy governing that hme-hon-
ored journal. @
Col. GALLOWAY Is ably sustained
by his assistants, Col. LOUIS J. DuPRE,
one offhe most brilliant and accom-.
plished writers connected with the
American press, and Col. ]. N.
KEATrNo, an able and experienced
journalist. We hope to see the appeal
under this new order, advance to the
front rank in influence and power,
and again maintain nobly and gal
position it 30 ably held In the
days when the genius Of McCLANNA-
HAN directed the helm.

The Deyefs Case.

Hon. CoNNALLY F. TRIGG, in the
United States Court at Knoxville last
Friday, delivered an oral opinion in
the case Of ALBERT DEvERs, relator,
in the habeas corpus case, discharging
him from custody. DEvERs was tried
by military commission during the
war and convicted Of the murder Of
one HOLT, of Williamson county, and
was sentenced to.be hung. The find
ings and sentence were set aside by
the commanding General, or War
Department at Washington. Subss-
quently he was indicted and convict
ed by the Circuit Court of Williamson
county, from the, judgment of which
court he appealed, to- the Supreme
Court, where the cause is still pending.
The Judge discharged DEvERs on the,
ground that trial by a military court,
under the act Of 1853, having jurisdic-
ton of the case, is a bar to any furth-
ers prosecution for the same offense,
whether by State or United States
Court. ... HtT 'ri -

THE value of the gold and silver

$500, 000, 600, and something over s..
200, 000, 600 worth of the'precious met

THE Brownsville States is as reck-
less with its facts as it is sparing with
its sense. As verificatio n we need
only refer to the charge in its last
issue that one of the editors of this
paper was Radical candidate for
Congress in 1855 in the Memphis Dis
trict, and in 1854 was in favor of
LINCoLN's election. There is not the
semblance Of truth in either of these
assertions. The race for Congress
was made upon a platform set forth
in apubllc address and public speeches,
as national, conservative and anti
Radical as the States is intensely
Bourbon When the States departs
from its heresies and stands upon so
sound platform, il can be looked up
to as journal fit for Democrats to
follow. rf &c..

If the Atlanta San and the lesser
lights that twinkle around this great
setting luminary, really desire the re-
election of GRANT, they are on the
right road. But if they are opposed to
GRANT and want to see Radicalism
put down-crushed out and forever an
initiated, they must beat hasty re-
treat and pursue an entirely different
course ere it is eternally too late. True,
they can do no particular harm to the
Democracy in the South; but the mis-
chief they work to the cause in the
Northern States where the great battle
is to be fought, AMI where the contest
is to be determined, is incalculable. 1t
