TIE LEWIS OF RoumANIa.


From the London Standard, a eopyoi
which reached us yesterday, we learn
that Notwithstanding the protest of the
Representatives of all the foreign powers
at the court of ROumania, the persecu-
tons and murderers Of the Jews were
permitted TO 60 at large withOutsO much
as remonstrance against their unchris-
tan acts. A Mr.. Benisch writes to the
Sdndurd on the first instant that the
four Jews condemned by the Court Of
Buzeo are the President CT the Jewish
community of Ismail, a much
respected merchant of long-standing,
the local Rabbi and the employers of the
iourneyman tailor, a deserter from the
Russian army, and a convert TO the
Greek Church years ago, who commit
ted the theft and sacrilege in question.
They were found guilty despite the de-
claratiOn Of the commissioner appointed
by the government to investigate the
charge against the prisoners, that not
only was there no proof of their COM
plicity in the crime, but that their in
noeence had been established conclu-
sively, and the ultimate confession of
the criminal fully generating the ac-
cused, who stated that he had charged
them with completely in consequence Of
the threats held out to him when first
arrested;'' and Mr.. Beniseh concludes,
chat eve since the abduction of the
boy Mortara has any act of religious
fanatieism created more indignation
among the Jewish people than this out
rage on justice in Roumania." This we
are not surprised TO learn, and we think
it about time the sO-called Christians Of
Roumania were coerced, if need be, by
by the Hpowers" whose earnest protests
have so far been treated with contempt.
1t is due to the cause of civilization that
the Jews should receive full and am
pie protection in Roumania as else
where, and that it should be laid down
a principle Of international law that it
is competent for governments TO COM
bine and by moral power enforce, on
the part Of the people of any nation, an
observance Of at least religious indie
pendence. 1t is alike d~isgraceful to our
civilization and age that the Jews in any
part Of the world shouldbe subjected to
course Of brutal treatment, simply be-
cause fanatieal idiots think il a part Of
their iuty, in UNFOLDING the peaceful re-
ligion Of the meek and lowly Jesus, to
those who do not believe in
him, OF call upon God in his name.
ChTists mission on earth was eminent
Iy a peaceful one, and his wOuld-be fol-
in Roumsnia should be curbed
and restrained even to the extent of an
enforced observance Of the ''peace and
good will" he brought TO all men.

A SPECIAL to the st. Louis ReVu5li.
can says that during Mr.. Summers alb.
sence the Senate was in session all
night Tuesday,, a substitute for his civil
rights bill was passed, which ignores
mixed schools, social privileges in be
revolent Institutions, and merely re
quires hotels, railroads, st~reet-cars,
aSnusements, etc, to give colored per-
sons the same privileges and accommo-
datiOns as white ones. When Sumner
returned to the Senate the next MORN
ing, and found that the crowning day,
as he called it, of his Senatorial career
had been not only so emasculated that
he would not own it, and had been dis
posed Of beyond his reach, his rage
hardly knew bounds. He denounced
the trick as a put-up job, and appealed
to Senators TO have the bill returned so
that he at least might record his vote on
It, u they refused to take N such
step. Owing to the great pressure Of
business in the House, ahead of this hill
it is doubtful if it can be passed this sos.
sion. The result Of the all-night work
In the Senate insures, it is believed tho
final adjournment Of Congress a week
from last Wednesday.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SATURDAY MORNING, MAY s5, 1872.
.1R,sH COALITION.


A fresh stimulus has been given in
this country to the study of German lite
nature. The conquest Of France gave
mankind an adequate conception Of
German prowess, and achievements
of German philosophy and art have
been no less wonderful than c~onquests
won by German armies. A map Of
Europe to-day, and a map Of Europe
twelve months old, tells most e~loquently
the story of German triumphs and of
German greatness. Even here in Amer
lea, a victory has been won by German
taste, force Of character, integrity and
genius and eloquence hardly less mar
Vicious and startling, and even more
honorable than Moltke's stxpen-
dous victories. At this moment the
American continent owes its leading
idea to a German. A German shaped
the thought that dissOlves parties, COM
pacted by fierce and virulent contests
through a quarter of a century. A Ger
man is the Warwick of our day, and
makes and unmakes the coun-
try's laws and masters. Public opinion
il American supreme law, and Carl
Schurz is the opinion-maker. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that the American
estimate Of German worth and charac-
ter and intellect has undergone Of late a.
radical revolution. Formerly the Irish
element, of all foreign forces, had great
est strength in America; but to-day
Germany contests the palm, and what
is most pleasing TO an American" if
there be such an animal, both these
potent nationaIities, Carl Schurz and
John Mitchell leading the way, spouse
the cause of Horace Greeley, who
slaughtered Know -NOthingism in
the North, and, while practicing
rigid habits of temperance, opposes all
interference of the law in matters that
concern only priests and moral philosO-
pliers. 1E MOTTO
The people who once desolated a
mighty empire IN the old world, sprang
from the womb Of Germany, and they
who viii aggrandize another, are Of the
same stock, even Sehurz having every
Distinguishing feature defined in Caesars
description Of the wonderful Teutonic
race. If America may W Liberation
to these two peoples, and a military des-
pot be dethroned by their adhesion to
Greeley, there will be none to deny that
America owes infinitely more to Ireland
and Germany than either to America,
for homes given their exiled children.

OUR v STREETS.

In many local paragraphs, written by
request Of citizens who are directly in
tcrested in the proper management Of
our streets and the economical admins
tration Of the city government, we have
directed attention to the rapidly-decay-
ing Nicolson pavement, which, on Mad
ison street especially, is so bad as to
make a passage over it in the easiest of
carriages anything but comfortable.
Our demands, however earnestly
pressed, have passed unheeded. We have
not yet seen any evidences that the city
government has deigned to notice them
even casually, although tmust be known
at the City Hall that in a matter of so
serious importance we are speaking in
interest Of our whole people, especially
the commercial portion, to whom the
Nicolson pavement has been a means
Of great saving, as well as increase of
trade. This pavement has cost, or will
cost, when present litigation has ended,
about one million two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. Elevenmiles of it have
been down five years, during which we
have handled in the neighborhood of
one million seven hundred and forty
nine thousand three hundred and thirty
seven bales Of cotton, which before the
streets and alleys were paved would
have cost to haul an average Of.
thirty cents per bale, making over
half a million dollars, whereas it
has only cost an average Of ten cents
or third that amount, making a
saving in the hauling Of this one article.
one way only, Of fully three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars in five wears.
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars more than the interest on the
cost of the pavement. But if we add
the saving inhauling groceries, produce,
dry goods and general merchandise, the
sum in favor of the NicolsOn viii be
swelled to an amount almost beyond
belief Surely a pavement so
valuable 70 commerce alone is
worth preserving, we therefore sub
nit to u city authorities the unwisdom
Of course Of conduct that permits this
source Of benefit to rot and decay.
Prompt work and the use Of the fore
manizing process would save it and

LONOKE.
What Sort OF Place, and Who Runs the
Machine.


LoNoKE, ARK, May %, 1872.
EDITORS APPEAL-LOnoke is stu
ated in Prairie county, Arkansas, TWEEN
ty-five miles east of Little Rock, on the
Memphis and Little Rock railroad, with
about five hundred inhabitants, and
with sixteen business houses, three ply
s%icians, n lawyer, and one male and
female academy. There are, every fall
and winter, shipped from this place
about four thousand bales of cotton.
KOnoke is surrounded with one of the
finest farming regions in the State.
Six miles south of LonOke is Redwood,
one of the finest cotton-growing regions
in the South, and Immediately adjoin-
ing the city on the west is Long
Prairie, one of the finest prairies for
stock and farming in the State. LOnOke
is differed by the best of officers.
Among them are Colonel L. G.. Hicks,
Mayor; Mr.. p. s. Boyd, Recorder, and
Captain Payne, Marshal. The Alder

s s. REMRERT.

There are very many reasons why thi
gentleman should be put to death. H,
is about to revolutionize the whole sys-
tenn of business as conducted for thirty
years past in this and other Southern
cities. He proposes tOhave each cottor
bale compressed, for foreign shipment
at the Clubhouse on the plantation
where it is produced. This cotton vii
never leave the a on which it is first
placed until it is transferred to an Euro
pean steamer. Economy and common
sense lead necessarily to this re-
suit. The cotton will be sold
by samples drawn from each bale by
t~heproducer, the sample alone will reach
the interior American city. These facts
are palpable, and when the laws of
trade enforce them, as they will, the
cotton crop of the South viii be worth
TO the people producing it from three to
five millions of dollars more than to-
day. Because Rembert proposes TO add
this sum to the country's wealth by
saving it TO the cotton producer, he is
deemed a great public calamity by
those addicted to the old way
of doing things. But the decree
has gone forth, Gotten will be compressed
the plantation and shipped direct to
Europe or to the mill that win consume
it. We should provide for results of this
either by killing Rembert and
stopping the progress of the country, or
transform the character of the indus
trial and commercial habits of Memphis.

METAIRIE CEMETERY


The famous old Metairie Race Track
at New Orleans, which has been the
scene of some of the finest racing that
ever took place in this country, has beer
sold, and within these grounds will, in
future, sleep the quiet dead. The Me
tairie track and the enclosed grounds
have been purchased for n hundred
and twenty thousand dollars, and will
be used as a cemetery for the city Of
New Orleans. 1t is proposed to expend
n hundred thousand dollars additional
in improvements. New Orleans will
then, it is said, have a cemetery that
will rivd even the Greenwood of New
York. There is something almost gro
tesque In such a change. VIII the dead
ever hear the ghostly galloping of once
celebrated racers, urged on by the
shadowy forms bestriding them of
Jockeys long since departed, but now
revisiting the scenes Of their early
triumphs, and running races invisible
to the dull eyes of mortals?

those who are to be your officers, See
to it, then, that good and reliable men
are selected as delegates-men who, dis
regarding personal friendships, party

COMPROMISE.
The Proper Way to Nominate Judges.

EDITORS APPEAL-The judiciary has
been, in more than one prominent in
stance, debased to serve political pur-
poses, and the ends of Justice have been
defeated through corruptible Judges to
their personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and the
positive injury of the claimants for jus
tiee at the hands of those same Judges.
This base prostitution has characterized
not only the local courts lin which some
of us have had more or less experienced,
but pervades also the judiciary of the
State, and indeed of the General Gov
eminent. If there is one stain fouler
than another on the record of the Grant
administration, it is this disgrace brand
ed on every American citizen by that
administration, when the highest and
purest Judicial positions were filled with
partisans and whipDers-in of the Repub-
Iican party. ItbeeOmes us then to guard
with Jealous are the seats of justice that
are in our control. 1t is of individual
benefit to every man in this district to
have competent and honest Judges in
our courts. I have confidence in the
honesty and integrity of the Democracy
assembled in convention, and only fear
their judgment in the selection of a can
didate. They desire to promote obedi-
to law and respectfor the judiciary.
This end can be conserved if the law
yers composing the distinguished and
honorable bar Of this city will meetprior
to the convention and recommend to the
convention the most worthy and COM
petent member Of their profession for
the nomination for Chancellor by that
body. This will preclude the possibility
of an unworthy occupant Of this re-
sponsible position. There can be no
reasonable doubt but that the conven-
ton would nominate the gentleman
recommended by the lawyers of the
Memphis bar. 1t is due to the bar that
their wishes should be consulted, and
the Democracy will recognizeth defer
ence due their knowledge and expert
ence. therefore call upon the lawyers
of the Memphis bar to meet prior to the
convention and recommend a suitable
person for Chancellor, and l feel well
assured the Democratic Convention will
appreciate the selection and confirm the
CITIZEN.
