THE INVITATION To GENERAL CHEAT
HAM.
The Chairman said it would now be proper
to make arrangements in regard TO the time
when they would invite General Cheatham
to visit Memphis.
Governor Harris thought the latter part of
the present week would be most suitable, as
he observed from the list of appointments
published in the APPEAL that morning.
that, unless hey did so at the time he had
mentioned, General Cheatham would be un-
able to be in Memphis till the latter portion OF
October. He was in favor OF Friday being Sc
Iected as the day.
Colonel W. II. stephens was of opinion that,
in order to allow the COMMITTEES on Arrange
ments suitable time, they ought to postpone
the reception till Saturday.
Governor Harris said he generally went out
of town on Saturday, and that was his reason
for naming Friday. He intimated that Gene
raj Quarles, the Democratic Elector for the
state at Large, would be here that day.
Acknowledgement Wright thought that the
fact OF General Quarles being here on Satur-
day would add to the ecldt OF General CHEAT
Judge T. ". Brown commended thatif they

ton be fixed for Saturday. Carried unani-
mously.

hicles, make arrangements for police and 10
cate the place for speaking.
Governor Harris said he did not exactly I'M
derstand what was meant by a committee 10
receive names.
The Chairman explained that it was simply
a to receive the names OF those cit
zens who were in favor of the election Of Cen
eral Cheatham. This committee had been ap-
pointed, a. many names had been placed on 10
the committees to receive Andrew. johnson,
which had not been authorized.
Captain Mellersh said he did not think the
committee ought to go outside to solicit a sin
gle dollar for General Cheatham's reception.
He was opposed TO canvassing the city for
that purpose, and would give as much as any
The Chairman said that only the friends of
General Cheatham would be asked TO sub
scribe. In reply TO a question of Governor
Harris. he said he thought they would re-
quire to raise about a thousand dollars.
Colonel stephens said there were many men
in Memphis who wanted to subscribe in order
TODD honor TO General Chatham.

THE RECEPTION.
Mr.. r. B.. Cheatham, of Nashville, being
present, in reply to an inquiry, said that he
was not aware whether General Cheathalm
had returned from Chattanooga TO Nashville
or had gone to Coffee county, but the COM
Mr.. Felix r. Cheatham, of Nashville. He felt
certain that General Cheatham would cheer
full respond to the invitation Of the commit

great deal OF Juggling had been carried on in
Nashville, in regard TO the SO-called Johnson

the Democratic party who We're
searching up Johnson's record as Military
Governor of Tennessee, which would be pub
lished in pamphlet form, which would be |
spread broadcast all over the State. He felt
sure that after the publication of that PAM
phlet every man who called himself a Demo-
and every Whig who did not sympa-
thize with the Radicals would be in favor Of
Cheatham. When General Chatham
came to Memphis he would be accompanied
by coed speakers from Nashville, although he
well aware there were many orators in
Memphis who Would speak for him and work
for him till the ides of November. (Applause)
