THE TRANSFERRING COMMTTTEE


The West Tennessee Wing and Tri6-
ume concurs with the APPEAL in con-
demning the inactiOn of the Democratic
Committee of the Eighth district. A
committee which sacrifices a Congress-
ional district to its " unwillingness
to determine the relative worth of four
aspirants for Congressional honors is I'M
worthy the position it holds, and espe-
cially is this true when this committee
may transfer the responsibility to a con-
ventiOn. Moreover, this committee has
no right to deny the people the right,
through a convention, to exclude three
Of these Democratic candidates from the
contest. The Eighth district is entitled to
a proper representative, and it must not
be deprived of one either through
the personal ambition of individuals
or because Of incapacity for its proper
tasks shown by "A committee of excel
lent gentlemen. 1t is very well for the
people to have "free choice" but they
can have no freedom of choice when
the candidature Of four Democrats elects
the candidate of the Radicals. White
people want no such freedom of choice
as that which imposes the absolutely
inevitable mastery Of blacks. Even
so it is here. Men love to pirate
about independence Of action and of
| choice. There is, and can be, no such
freedom in elections while parties are
distinguished simply by race-features.
While Barbour Lewis leads a compact
consolidated force of blacks TO the ballot
box, there will be found no white man,
unless a paid pimp Of Barbour, voting
other than the straight ticket. Call it
what you may, Democratic or "Con-
servative Republican +" the white people
will vote for it solidly, compactly and as
a unit. Here, in the Ninth district,
there is sufficient equality of Radical
and Democratic numbers to render the
appearance of two Democratic aspirants
impossible; in the Brownsville-JacksOn
district the Democratic majority is
50 great that o~verweening conf
dence becomes more dangerous than
the least possible majority, and a
nomination Is as indispensable in the
nHe as in the other district. 1t is all
very pretty sentiment to pirate about
independent voting. The proposition,
practically, while negroes and whites
constitute the basis each Of an active
party, is absurd and impossible Of exc
.as1Fion

Atwood established a commercial credit

THE ALLAN LINEAND MEMPHIS AND
EUROPE.

The success Of the Allan Line OF
steamers is greater than was antici-
pated. The number Of these vessels
has been steadily increased until a
steamer every other day, will soon leave
Norfolk. Agencies for the line have
been established everywhere in this and
adjacent States by Messrs. Donoho q
BuIkley; through freight and passenger
trains to Norfolk and Baltimore will
add vastly to the prOfitableness OF
the steamers, and the South may
at length begin to congratulate itself on
this first practical illustration Of the
self-sustaining value of direct trade. II
is needless to say that a few of our own
fe~llow-citizens have done much to
achieve this contamination i'm behalf OF
which lawgivers and orators, through a
long series Of years, wasted toll and elO-
ouence in vain. This is a practical, pro-
gressive age, and they who winin the race
Of life are practical progressive men.
Cotton from Memphis, enough to freight
each outgoing steamer through the next
winter and spring, should enrich the
proprietors Of the Allan Line that the
multitudes Of Europe may have cheap
conveyance to cheap homes in these

THE President, during a recent con-
versation, casually remarked that Mr.,
Sumner i not the true friend of the
black man. Mr.. Sumner will not be
surprised at this assertion of the Presi-
dent because the Senator has himself
had personal interviews with Mr.. Grant
at the Executive Mansion, and knows
something about his political knowledge,
and will have due charity for his ignor-
ance. The Presidents campaign con-
versation will hardly elect him.
