Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-01-25

THE Pine Bluff Press, commenting
on the election Of C~laytOnfOr Senator,
puts the matter on its proper ground
of a choice Of evils, and says, "We
could do no better, and might have
done worse" We quote:
The whole field was thoroughly cam
vassed by the various aspirants, who
saw proper 'to take time by the fore
lock-" The people Of the State owe q
debt Of eternal gratitude to Governor
CLAYTON for being the means Of defeating
PsrsOn Brooks in his aspirations for the
position to which the members Of me
Legislature haze called hia-his election
would have been 3 calamity to the State
his a~troeiOus declaration on the steps
Of the courthouse "that II he had had
the management Of the Southern States
after the rebellion, there would have
been nothing left to reconstruct" viii
IiUe long in the memory Of those who
heardi 1t. We hope the American Senate
win never be disgraeed By a member
with such cold FLOODED, m~UrderO1tS s6nti-
timents from the State Of Arkansas.
Senator Mcdonald, with all his accus-
toned suavity and money, failed to i'm
press those having the good Of the coun-
try at heart, that he was a suitable per-
son LOT r6-6leCtlOus consequently me- loCI
saw fit to prefer the shades Of private life,
where he can enjoy his friends and his
bsnqusts without being oppressed by
matters Of the State,
In short, all the candidates saw upon
surveying the field that "bope had de-
psrtedn-that the question was decided
when the Registrars for the recent cleo
ton were appointed; they wisely with
drew from the contest.
Taking au things into consideration,
we are inclined to the opinion that the
choice was the best that could have been
made: in fact, &c was the only posi-
bic to make. While We can never indOrse
| many Of the political acts of our Cover
nor, vet we remember the old saying,
"never too late to do good" We hope
that he viii begin his term Of office with
the determination Of doing something
that will rebound to the benefit and honor
Of the State.

shell, full Of wrath destruction and death:
The f-nsubOrdinate Nebrsskians ind1g-
nantly spurned the letter, its author and
its bearer; declared their ability to man
age their own affairs without assistance or
advice from headquarters; threw poor
Thsyer overheard, and elected a compare
lively unknown individual named Hitch
cock. Whether Hitchcock is an enthusi-
astic "friend Of the administration" and
will vote for Domingo and all other jobs
now on the carpet, we cannot say; but his
election is certainly a most unequivocal
rebuke to the meddlesome spirit which
seeks to control matters outside its
sphere, and which, If unchecked, would
speedily convert Our Republican system
Of government into a centralized despot-
ism ruled by an autOcrst whose pleasure
Is supreme law, and from whose edicts
there is no appeal. The course of events
in Missouri and Nebraska furnishes Pres
ident Grant and his injudiciOus COUNSEL
lOrs food for profitable meditation, which
We trust they viii not fail TO improve.
Thus it will be seen that Grants
good will is a mausoleum of reputa-
ton, popularity and blasted hopes.
Politicians begin to fear him as hardy
navigatOrs fear squalls, water-spouts
and maelStrOmS. his enLnlJy Is a
lifeboat for ship-wrecked politicians,
but no man can survive a dose Of his
strychnine friendship. Thayer tried
it, and he trotted out Of doors, turned
around three times and is as dead as
If he had been slain at the siege OF
Troy. Mcdonald, Of Arkansas,
swallowed one pill of the fatal nos
trum, and he is ''gone where the
woodbine twineth." Poison will here
after be written across the envelopes
containing the Presidents letters Of
recommendation and Endorsement
1t is now evident that Grant is the
Trojanihorse by which the citadel Of
Radicalism is to be taken.

TIE northern Governors have more
wisdom than the Washington gov
eminent, or more respect for that
popular viii which, In this country,
must ever condemn the Capitalization
Of the powers Of the national govern
ment practically into the despOtic
form. Since Governor Hoffman sent
his thunderbOlt from New York, and
Governor Geary, from Pennsylvania,
also sent forth his pronunciamiento
against the bayonets at the ballot
boxes, Governor Palmer, Of that CEN
tral and great and growing State, IL
Hn0is, has last Of all spoken in the
name OF the people. He uttered
words Of warning against Congress
siOnaI interference in State matters.
He wants no Federal corporations, no
airline railways, under the authority
Of Congress, within his limits. He
expresses the hope that Congress will
not assume the power to create such
corporations by special legislation, or
10 take the legal power to govern
them from the States in which they
are situated, and says that in case
Congress does see fit to dO-so, the Con
stitution Of the United States ought
to be Immediately amended so as to
prohibit such powers TO Congress. He
speaks out emphatically the only
sound conservatism Of our institu-
tons, a truly Democratic and Re
publican, as against Federal doctrines.

WHILE it would seem necessary
that the law should make no distinc-
ton Of persons, we have always,
on the score Of humanity and because
Of the extreme ignorance Of the ne
gro population, felt inclined to reduce
the severity Of punishment for black
persons-especially in cases Of larceny
and at the same time to adopt mea-
sures TO make the penalty more GER
tain Of infection. How any Judge, or
officer, or legislator, or man with half
q heart in him, could willingly make
the )de more sanguinary toward these
ignorant and depraved classes, we
cannot well see. 1t is only from a
Radical, and h~ypOcritical pretender to
being the Negroes especial guardian
and friend that we could expect such
a thing. And accordingly, the
first Instance Of an offer TO write
the code in blood comes from one
johnson, Of the Mississippi Iegisla-
ture, a hrst-class specimen of the genus
earpet-bagger, and q Draco, Nero and
dre-eater Of the first water. The Can
ton Mail publishes the following sec.

President GRANT has destroyed
another friend by trying TO serve him.
The people seem to take a malicious
delight in opposing everything Grant
favors. The President is a success as
the receiver Of favors, but he is a fail
ure in giving them. He is always
ready to be served, but he can serve
nobody in turn. We have heretofore
shown that, Of late, the people have
almost uniformly disregarded the
Presidents desires by defeating his
men and his measures, and another
evidence Of his unpOpularity is shown
in the recent election for United States
Senator in Nebraska. General Thay-
or. the present Senator from Nebras-
ka. has been in the Senate since the
admission Of the State into the Union.
He Is a man Of great ability, had am
bition and his political future was
brilliant. But he has fallen. Grant
gave him his friendship, and he now
stands like a tree shivered by the
l~ightning's blast. The following ex-
tract, from the st. Louis Republican
explains the cause Of Senator Thayer's
political death:
General Thayer was chosen Senator
from Nebrasks upon its first admission
into the Union; and barring his intense
UnAH-rTf-n4 Nna an Faw az run ara aHruWa-
performed the duties Of the Office TO the
satisfaction Of his constituents. his re-
cord is as clear as those Of most Of his
colleagues holding the same political
creed, and he was therefore fully justified
in assuming that there would be little
difficulty in securing a reelection. Had
General Thayer remembered the old
proverb and been content to flet we'll
enough alone - the probabilities are that
his Official life might have been prolonged
for another six years; but in an evil hour
he thought TO make assurance doubly
sure by bringing the reinforcement Of
executive influenced into the field. He
applied for and received from the Presi-
dent q letter 20 the Radical members of
the Nebraska Legislature, recommend
ing him 10 their favorable consideration
as a warm friend Of the administration
whose reelection would be particularly
gratifying to the occupant Of the White
House. Armed with this fatal missivs
the unsuBp6ctiug and confident Ihayer
departed nom Washington and in due
time reached the State capital. The Rad
lcal brethren were speedily assem-
Dlsd IN causus, and the Presiden-
tlal document read in their hear
ing. To the Infinite amazsment and dis
may Of the innocent victim, it fell not
like oil upon the troubled waters healing
disssnEiOnE and smoothing the tsmDestu-
I ous ocean Ofparty STRIFE, but like a bomb

THE New York Sun, Radical, says:
"Grant is not going to be renominated
for the Presidency; and the fact that
the Democracy are right in assuming
that they could easily overthrow him,
is the very reason why he will not be
allowed to carry the Republican
standard in 1872. His fate is already
fixed in the minds of Republican
leaders; and ere long the prophetic
hand, tracing his doom on the walls
of the White House in unmistakable
characters, wiz be visible even to the
