PROV NORrnERN MEN.


In another column we publish an APP
peal from Northern business men touch
ing the legislative imbrogliO and pOliti-
cal outrages in Louisiana, which will be
found well worthy careful reading. We
do not believe it will have any effect to
reverse the determination in this mat
ter Of the Cabinet of General Grant,
still, it viii do good as incontrovertible
testimony, inforcing that already laid
before the Northern public from other as
reliable and unbiased sources. In this
the Kellogg faction can see themselves
as others see them, and from it even
Grant may learn a lesson. The Plea
gl1ae says Of the signers Of this call, that
''fulIy half Of them are Republicans.
None of chem are Of Southern origin.
They came here as commercial agents,
with no view TO settled residence. But
on their own account, and on account of
the business establishments in Northern

sent, they are interested in the good

Of the city and State.

RADICAL Senators are preparing to
make a great deal of capital out OF
Summers battle-flag resolution. But
the latter is not to be caught mapping.
Although really unable to enter upon a
spirited debate, such as this will give rise
to, he has announced his determination
to answer his opponents at length. He
says his "object is not TO interfere in
any way with the memory Of the gall
liant deeds of the late war, or to erase
the names of battles from the flags car
ried over Southern fields, and now so
carefully preserved, but to take the
names of battles from the regimental
flags now actually carried in the regular
army and from the army register. He
thinks this but an act Of justice TO the
young men from the South, sons Of Con-
federate soldiers, who are annually
graduated at West Point and assigned
to these regiments. He thinks they
ought to be spared the humiliation OF
marching under flags inscribed with the
names of battles in which their fathers
were defeated" Sumner did not intend
his resolution as political measure, but
the Senators who now desire to have it
called up wish to make political speech
es upon it.

LIES AND LIARS.

Dickens, somewhere, makes Bob
~awyers say Of his friend Jack Hopkins:
Jack cW sing chorus-he was born
rhorus-y, lives chorus-y and viii die
-horus-y." We are inclined to draw an
equally bold outline of the smaI-fry ed
itors who were born pulling ''inconsis-
rency," live prating Inconsistency,
and viii die twadling Inconsistency
Were we disposed to engage in the little
business of nosing out the inconsistent
cies Of our cotemporaries, we could show
that those who are seeking controversy
with the APPEAL, have eulogized An
drew Johnson as a patriot, stigmatised
him as knave, favored secession and
denounced secessionists; opposed con-
renti0ns, then served as delegates to
-9nventi0us-0n week an independent
paper, the next a Democratic sheet

10 take the new departure as the sure
road 10 victory, the next week denounc- /

no disposition TO engage in a contro-
versy so distasteful TO our readers. !
This style Of Journalism has long since
neen ignored by decent journalists. The /
public has an unutterable disgust for an /
editor who is continually throwing
filthy slang al cotemporary. We do
not believe we can interest our readers
i,y ransacking old newspaper files, and
exposing the inconsistency and numer-
GUS terciversatiOns Of our cOntempora-
-ies. Nor do we care peppercorn for
the little creatures who sing the same
nvarying song every day. The APPEAL
is admouished by its advertising pa
fronage and its increasing circula-
lion that it Is appreciated by the public,
and it has no desire to handy epithets
with those who seem impressed with
the belief that their existence depends
upon an occasional kick. As we said
-ometime ago, the public cares nothing
about the petty squsbbles between ed
itors. The APPEAL is too busy in en- !
ieavOring TO push forward our agricul- I
tural and mechanical interests, 10 build

PERSERSE SCRIBBLERs are still harp
ing upon the duty performed by the
APPEAL in giving people warning OF
the presence and growth of the small
pox, and seek to make il appear that
without occasion we were alarmists.
This they continue in face Of an official
notification signed by the Mayor and
the Chairman of the County Court ad-
vertising places in the several wards and
districts Of the city and county where
the citizens may be vaccinated free OF
charge. If there was no ground for the
timely warnings Of the APPEAL, why
this tender of free vaccination by the
authorities? If the pestilent disease did
not exist, such a course as this by our
officials were not only unnecessary,
but inexpedient in view Of the
possible injury to the trade of the city.
But they are right, and the APPEAL
was right-just as it is now, in again
assuring the people in the country and
surrounding towns, that they need not
have any further fear, for Memphis is

A New York correspondent states a

TMPORTANT DECISION.

The United States Supreme Court has
decided a somewhat important case il
the suit of Perham rs. Way. The point
is, that where a debt exists payable 10y
promissory note, ownership in the debt
and claim cannot be transferred by le-
gal process of execution unless the note
accompanies the sale and is delivered to
the purchaser. According to the opin-
ions of many, a promissory note is not
debt, but an evidence Of debt. The
liability exists without reference to the
paper upon which the proof Of the obi
CATION is written. If the note should be
destroyed, the fact that the debt is due
morally could not be destroyed with it.
This would be the case, undoubtedly, in
regard to ordinary contracts, the
terms Of which might be estab-
lished by writing Promissory notes in
commercial transactions carry the debts
with the paper upon which the note is
written if the transfer has been accord
ing to the terms of the law. The par
ticular case to which we refer came up
on a note which was held by a person
who had joined the rebellion. The pro-
cess was in the nature-of a confscatiOn,
and the debt was attempted to be solo
without the possession Of the note. The
claim was bought by the debtor and
maker of the note, who thereby sup
posed that his obligation was discharged.
This is denied by the decision Of the
court, which thus establishes a doctrine
as curious as it is important.

WITH THIS NEW PLAN

Mr.. Brisbane proposes to do the freight
ing Of our country at tenth of the cost
of railroads and at the lowest speed of
one hundred miles an hour. The grain
and meats Ofthe Far West, the iron and
coal of our great mines and beds will be
brought to the seaboard and our manu-
featuring centers so cheaply that they
will be furnished at half their present
cost, and much cheaper than they can
be obtained in Europe, for our resources
are vastly greater. Thus, with cheap
food, and the raw materials for manu-
factures, we shall become the manufac-
turing nation of the earth; and another
problem solved by the inventor of the
pneumatic tube in combination with
rolling spheres is that we shall not have
TO protect ourselves by tariffs, but viii
manufacture for Europe, unless she
chooses to resort IN turn to tariffs. 1t is
plain to be seen Mr.. Brisbane contends
that the railroads cannot do thecommer-
cial business of our country. We must.
he tells us, have something as much be-
yond it as it is beyond the Ox-cart or the
old baggage-wagOn used before canals
and railways came into use; times when
wheat was often sold in the Genesee !
valley in Northern New York at
twenty-five cents a bushel because it /
could not be sent to tide-water, and as
corn is now selling at ten cents a bushel |
in our Far West.
Iasked Mr.. Brisbane what steps he /
intended to take to introduce this new /
if his experiment proved
About that he said he was
quite undetermined. He knew the tim
idity of capital so well, he feared that |
even after demonstrating its practicable |
ity, he would be troubled to find men of
wealth to take hold of it. He thought |
perhaps Congress might be induced to
aid in building mail route from Wash
ngton to Baltimore. If that could be
capital would then come
out and take it up.
There are parties in Europe waiting
.he result of this experiment to intro
luce il there. Mr.. Brisbane has a patent
N both England and France, and thinks
quite likely one of his roads may be first
built i'm Europe.
In the meantime its completion here
S anxiouslv watched for and no little
interest has been excited in scientific
circles in regard to il. There has been
IN experiment made with twenty-five
'eet of the tube, constructed in Buffalo
or trial, the only mode Of exhausting
he air being piston about six feet long,
md the strength OF one man being used
lpon it. 1t worked perfectly, the balls
hoOting through with great velocity. .
,Ir. Brisbane is confident that by the
fifteenth of January he will have the
ube completed and the spheres, freighted
With books, documents and manuscripts,
olling between the printing-office and
he capitol at the rate of three hundred
niles an hour.

PLEASING AND ABSURD BLUNDERs
OF MAYOR JOHNSON.
Our wise and beneficent Mayor is al
ways putting his foot in it. He is new
doing what we urged him to do weeks
ago, and even now he goes blunderingly
about the plainest task. He hates TO do
a sensible and right thing, and never
does right rightfully. Atlast, when the
least possible good may accrue, the
Mayor Eliminates a staggering procla-
nation, announcing the appointment Of
very proper and learned surgeons to vac
climate the poor and ignorant unable to
pay for such services. Instead, however,
of designating a place in each ward
where a surgeon may serve the poor,
the aged, the weak and helpless, and
children incapable Of finding an up
town office, the jolly Lord Mayor selects
doctors for the task Of public benefeence
who live about Court Square OF
in that vicinage. In each ward there
is a resident physician having
an Office known to every denizen of
that district, however stupidity igno-
rant or helpless. Such a resident ply
stefan should have discharged this duty
of vaccinating the rabble. We only
mention this matter, because it shows
how ungovernable a blockhead's habit
of laundering may become. Ii is in
dulged even in the smallest matters, land
surely when he undertakes to admins

quiring greater ability than is exaeted

clans about that little game of keno to

pulsion of air in hollow spheres. Mr..
Brisbane, the inventor, is man about
sixty-five years old, with a grave,

versation with me about the work he
was doing, and the great results sure to
follow the success of this experiment,
which he says will revolutiOniZe the
commerce of the world. 1t will be re-
membered that Congress appropriated
fifteen thousand dollars last winter for
the purpose of trying the new mode of
transportation, and gave Mr.. Bris-
bane the contract for building
tube connecting the points
above mentioned. With wonder
full fiueney of speech he explained 10 me
the great advantages of the spheres over
every other vehicle for the carrying Of
