sion Of his desire that The British pre-.
serve the treaty and establish friend
ly relations between the two govern
ments. The burden OF the commune
cation Is a repetition of the views ex-
pressed in the speech from the throne.
The reply will show that there has
been no surprise in the matter of the
American case, and that the claims
for consequential damages had been
presented for discussion before the
joint high commissioners. This being
so, there can be nc withdrawal of the
American cases.

TE1
Appeal

The circulation OF the APPEAL IS increaains
so rapidly hat our former facilities are made
quate to the work required. We are therefort
constrained to order 8 double-cylinder Hot
press for our purposes, the drst ever ordeTed
for Memphis. In addition to this heavy ex.
pense we intend, at an early day, TO present
the APPEAL to its readers in an entire rev
dress, greatly enlarged and otherwise I'M
proved. The proposed improvements E1ncoa
Us about ten thousand dollars; but this outlay
Is due to those who have so generously pat
ronizsd the paper, whue It wiz be an incen-
tive for increased support. Now Is the time
TO sub be for the APPEAL for 1S71-
Those who intend 70 take the paper nezf
year should remit at once, In order that thstI
subscriptions msy commence with the new
year. Great as the prosperity Of the APPKAI
has been for the last thirty year,, We are
solved tina past issues shall be exceeded IN
varied excellence ~andinterest By those OF lS72
The proceedings Of congress, the presidential
election, and our own State elections, and
many other impending questions, win CON-
bine TO invest a newspaper in lSI2, with pro
found interest. It VIII be the constant aim Of
the APPEA 20 present an instructive pano-
rama of the world. Instead OF emptying into
its column everything presented and
being most thankful for M which Is ] longest
and stupidest, every department OF the papeI
viii be carefully edited and presented a. an
epitOme Of the worlds dOings In q word, the
APPEAL VIII aim to tell the news fairly, hon
estly and Interestingly; to aid In all good
causes; to expose abuses and stimulate re
form to represent the most liberal hou5hts
and highest tendencies of the time; 10 wei
come all schemes that promise good TO en-
courage all human enterprises 70 stimulate
the love Of knowledge, q taste for art and the
culture Of all the better parts Of our natures
to sustain good government andhonest rulers
and TO Condemn and upset the bad and to war
upon eliques, ceteries and nrings."
In view Of the moment0us issues bound up
In the hidden mysteries of 1872, We expect .
arge accession to our subscription LIST. We
shall certainly make the APPEAL deserving Of
q large patronage. notwithstanding the high
price Of paper, composition and general ak
penses, the price Of the APPEAL Is about the
same as that charged before the war, when
ouTexpenses were one-third less than now.

TaE REFORMEns' CANDIDATE, DA.
FIB DAVIS.

The nomination OF Judge David Da.
Wis by the Labor Union convention,
makes him the candidate for the
presidency OF the Workingmen Of the
United States. He was almost nomi-
mated by the Temperance Reformers,
and SHOULD have been. Judge Davis
is the fnest-lOoking man in the Uni.
ted States; vas appointed by Abe
Lincoln to the supreme court bench /;
is LincOln's executor; has never been
a politician Oh partizan; has no griev.
Jus political sins to be condoned; is
personally and deservedIy the most
popular gentleman in social life in
Washington; is the preferred can.
didate Of the true Republicans in
the South, and Of course is most
odjous to. carpetbsggers and Radi-
Gals. But with this nomination OF
a candidate to be made by the
Poss1mists, We have nothing 70 do
and only volunteer a little good ad-
vice, which they might do well to con-
slider. II a nominee be presented by
the POssUmists-the Reiormers-I
whose history win make 1t difficult
for a Democrat to choose between
Grant and such nominee, the votes Of
the Southern States may be thrown
away on q third candidate, or a
straight Democratic ticket may COM
pei the consolidation of the Rsdi-
cal party in Grants support, or
Grant may prove, with all his
vast HttIeness, as acceptable
as the BefOrmers' candidate.
In any event it would be well to give
theenenies Of RsdicaIism a candidate
record would not instantly put
the party supporting him on the de-
fensive. The APPEAL would first
consult th~eInieresls OF the Democratic
party, and tit be determined that
Democracy mustslInply suspend Its
action during the next six months In
order that Reform may measure
swords with Rsdicslism, there is no
harm in these modest Suggestions rom
an outsider.

WE have said that the people Of the
two sections Of the country, Northern
and Southern, had been led by the
unfortunately Villainous classes chosen
by Grant to represent both, to misap-
prehend each others worth. The
word ''carpetbagger" is the synonym
in the South of "ofice-holding thief"
and how unfortunate the Soulful In

well pleased to know that Grant suf-

batteries of artillery to be transferred
from American to French arsenals
during the late Frsnco-Prussian war.
In fact, Grant thus protraeted the wal

the death of many a German soldier.

EX-SENATOR GRIMES, who rejoi-
ces in his freedom from politics and
political parties, writes a letter to
the Burlington Qowa) Gazette, in
which he predicts that the Republi-
can party will, and says it ought to
be overthrown, for the following
reasons:
1. Because of the utter failure of
their scheme for the reconstruction
of the South.
2. Because of their resolve to per-
petuate as long as possible all of the
passions of the civil war, and their
consequent refusal TO enfranchise
the men in the South who were hon
est enough to fight on the strength
! of their convictions.
5. Because of their inexorable res
| olution to maintain an enormous Ia
riff by which a few are benefited at
the expense of the many, and by
which they have utterly destroyed
our commerce.
4. Because of the persistent at
! tempts of the administration to
force upon us Spanish negro States,
not only without the wish, but
against the well-knCwn wish of the
people of the country-all in the in
/ terest of a ring.
a5. Because OF the corruption that
is reeking everywhere in Legislation
in the shape of land jobbing, steam,
ship subsidies, Chorpening claims
and in administration, as in tbs
Cherokee land sale, the gold corner
in New York, and in various other
cases.
