from the Memphis Appeal
Two wears ago q number of Chinese arrived
at ourtWharf, and were objects Of: great CURL
esity. The negroes, especially, gazed at them
with wondering eyes. declaring, "uem's nlg--

sWamp lever was bad where dem folks come
from, ~ BONE Of these men settled near here,
and among them q small colony found homes
and cotton picking In the neighborhood OF
Marion, Arkansas, some nine or ten miles
from thisrcity. Among them were All Maun,
who proved to- be q Chinese of education, gath
cred up some knowledge Of English rapidly, BE-
came popular, and was called by the country
people John Ormond. He set to work
at once. The nrst day his cotton pick
Ing amounted to twenty-five pounds. The
negroes laughed at the small specimen with q
pie.tail under his hat. In one year not q
negro on the plantation could bring as much
cotton to- the Clubhouse as An Maun. An

conntrynen rented q piece of ground near
Tsrfon. Twenty acres they put in corn, and
tweUfVin cotton. Seven times was The ground
riono6ed over, until it was in;complete order

every weed exterminated, every fence corner

lY ways. EARLY morn and dewy eve saw the SIX
Chinese at their tasks; patient, Flooding, un-

intermitted, brought a crop OF corn and

Crittenden County. 1t is visited and

that An Mann and bis men not only knew no

on Thufsday they sent two bales of cotton to
the city,. It was received by Keel & Co., and
MT. Keel says two better bales of well-grown,

A Union Generals Rebuko OF Military
Partisanship.
General A. E. Burnside. having Issued an
addi.ss as the president of the soldiers ana
sailors convention at Pittsburg, complaining
that Er. Greeley has expressed the opinion
that, they assembled for political purposes, and
that they hoped to accomplish these purposes
nv reyiyinr the animosities and hatreds en-
eendered by the war, another soldier, General
VIM. Il. slocum, has put forth a response
which is at once al embodiment OF right
ideas on the subject, and a rebuke OF General
Burnslde's p%retenslons. General Slocum COM
msuded. General sherman's left wing IN his
.smarch to the sea-. and may therefore as
rightfully speak In the premises as ANY other
man. General Slocum, after noticing an I'm
pertinent assumption of General Burnside's
that Mr.. Greeley, because OF o 'lack OF
eourtesyn to such soldiers as himself, ls "quite
unfs to be trusted In any position where 10y
atty 10 the government" ls required, says:
II Ia credItable to ;the soldiers Of the late
war that one Of their number should De per
mitted:- as itheir: pretended representative, TO
snread broadcast over the land a document
charging Horace Greeley with disloyalty. The
tr;th. Of the saying that .'the pen Is mlghtier
than the sword" Is coming year by year TO be
more generally acknowledged. In view OF
the election Of General Grant to the Presl-
dency. and of the fact that he Is a candidate
for Reelection, there are probably some men
i'm The country who doubt its truth. II, now
ey4r.SWe!were toadd to the saying the proVlso
that the pen shonld be handled BY Greeley
and the sword by a Burnside all douDters

fniI we'll that whiletwe were in The field light
inc for. the Union, Mr.. Greeley was welding
In behalf OF the same cause q weapon lar
more powerful than those used by either OF US.
With regard to Mr. Greeley being guilty OF a
lack of courtesy toward the soldier, General
slocum says:
In my Judgment, any man who eight years
amer the close of Q bloody civil war Will AK

INC their action in political matters is q dem:

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-01-26
THE DAVE.

We regard the meeting OF the Con-
sentative Republicans at Jefferson
City, Missouri, on Wednesday, as the
beginning Of an organization which
viii defeat Grant in the next election.
This meeting was large and enthusi-
astic, attended by Republicans OF
prominence and the resolutions adopt
ed, embrace in substance the princi-
pies which Democrats have so long
advocated, and it is now evident that
the Democrats and Conservative Re
publicans can form a fusion strong
enough to defeat Grant. A grand
mass convention Of Reform Republic
cans will be held at Cincinnati on the
first Of May. We presume this con-
ventiOn will be represented by dele
gates from every Stste in the Union.
If its deliberations should be as wise
and patriotic as those Of the cOnveu-
ton at Jefferson, on Wednesday last,
we will 500 have an end
to despOtism, Capitalization and cor
ruptlOn. The result of the next pres
idential election rests almost entirely
with the action of those opposed to
the administration. With a platform
formed in accordance with the adj
vanced and progressive spirit Of the
day, and with candidates thoroughly
in sympathy with honest sentiments,
the enemies of Grant, in the coming
campaign, can win a glorious victory.
The gross incOmpetency Of the ma
Iional administration and its extrava-
yance and corruption, have engender-
ID a widely difUsed feeling Of discon-
-ent In the Republican ranks.
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-01-26

The Union and american says that
If Sumner becomes a candidate for the
presidency, he will secure a much
larger vote in the South than Grant.
In this our Nashville contemporary
differs from the States, the latter pre-
ferring Grant, we believe, even as
against Trumbull. Summer was once
a Democrat, and however misled as
to the relations of races in the South,
and however extravagant in OPP
timism and humanitsrianism, he
is capable of profound thinking.
II an excess of good impulses ID
behalf Of the ignorant and weak
leads him to do infinite wrong alike
to the strong and weak-whites and
blaeks-the same feeling once ami
mated him when we could properly
appreciate honorable utterances be-
gotten by the same generous Inn
pulses that fell from his lips. Ever
since Sumner made this little speech
tasteful as it was just and incisive, in
condemnation Of so-called national
paintings illustrative of Union tri-
umphs on b~attlehelds of the late war,
with which it was proposed to de-
corate the cspitol's interior walls at
Washington, we have been dis
nnsed IN deal generously with his
vices as if they were virtues so eXag-
gerated and excessive that they be-
come stupendous crimes. He is more
a dreamer and enthusiast than a
statesman, and yet is a great scholar
and thinker. He is untitled by his
moral Incorporates for a seat in the
senate, and as president would be
only preferable to Grant, whose vices
are unredeemed by generosity, learn
