MEssRs EDIToRs: I see the name
ofthis gentleman prominently spoken
of in connection with the g%ubcrnato-
rial Office. Although an old citizen
of B%oonville, Capt. Stephens is prob
ably not r. well known to the
people Of this Immediate section of
the State, from the fact that he has
been largely engaged in business in
the town where he resides, and has
consequently been very much con-
fined at home. Heretofore his ac-
has been rather ola professional and
commercial character, than as q pol
Iitician. VIII you permit one who
ha, known him for manv wears. to
bear his honorable testimony, not
only TO his eminent fitness for the
high position of Governor of the
state. but 10 his exalted character a.
a gentleman. There is probably no
man in the State or Nation, who can
boast Il more unsulIicd reputation.
AID who enjoys to 4 fuller extent the
esteem and co%ntiIcur" of those who
know him. Capt. Stephens. as n CAP
~iiali-t. has been extensively connect
ed with the %tiualcial affairs and pub
lie improvements of his county, in
the management of which hundreds
of Thousand, of the peoples money
have passed through his hanh>,yct no
suspicion of dishonesty has ever at
tarhcd to his name. In these times
of universal corruption, when so few
are found worthy of public trust, |
regard it a. sin"ularly fortunate that
the people of Mo-, have the opportu-
nifty of securing, Is their chief cxcru-
tive officer. the services of so pure
and upright a man. Let them by all
means rally to til" support of .Io. l..
stephens. with tn" a.-uraur" that he
will discharge all the responsible du-
ties Of Chief Magistrate with ability,
honesty and fidelity.
Very respectfully.

THE CANAL sCHEME.

The greatest good, with the least pos
sible expenditure, which a canal can
effect, would be accomplished by such q
channel for commerce, extended from
the Mississippi at Memphis, to the Ten
nessee at TUscumbis. Despite this SIM
pie fact, so palpable that one cannot see
a map of the United States without its
obtrusion upon his notice, the President
Of the United States never once suggests
it in his discussion of this subject From
Memphis to the Tennessee river near
Corinth, the distance is about one hun
ired and fifteen miles; from Memphis
10 the same point on the
Tennessee river by water the dis
.ance is perhaps six hundred miles.
The commercial distance from the Val
ey of the Tennessee to New Orleans
aud the sea, might be lessened five hun |
lred miles by means Of this canal The
wealth Of Arkansas, of Kansas, of
Western Missouri, and Of the Indian
nations, would find its shortest route to |
he Atlantic coast through such canal |
extended, as now proposed in Congress,
rom Tuscumbia to Brunswick on the
cast Of Georgia st. Louis, even if the
Jairo and Vineennes, and Memphis and |
roads be not extended to this
ity, must have access to the system of l
Dads Conveying at Memphis from the \

CAKES AMES has furnished list of
Congressman to whom he gave or sold
shares of Credit Mobilier stock. His
testimony, with that which has gone
before, has fixed the direct or indirect
ownership or interest in the Credit Mo
bilier upon nearly all whose names APP
peared in the list published by Colonel
H. S. McComb. In most instances the
stock was held in the name of Cakes
Ames. Some paid par for it, and some
paid nothing. Some held stock to cash,
aud others gave it up when they ascer-
tanned through Jere Black, counsel for
McComb in the Philadelphia suit, that
their names had come out there before
the commissioner. There was great in
terest manifested Friday on all sides to
hear the personal explanation of
James Brooks, and nearly the whole
House crowded around him. Jere Black,
oliver, AmeS and Cushing,
counsel of Cakes, and Messrs. Ames,
John B. Alley and J. NJ. S. Williams,
Of the Union Pacific road, were all on
The floor. Mr.. Brooks was heard atten-
lively, but the almost universal verdict
8 that the explanation only served to
'urther complicate the whole case. Mr..
Woods resolution to throw the investi-
cation open to the public was presented
~ request Of members of the commit
ee, and would have passed but for the
objection Of Mr.. Perez, of Mississippi,
Fho seemed to have no other motive than
o make himself conspicuous.

Whether deliberate, intentional, un-
mitigated Misrepresentation may be re-
lied on 70 achieve its ends, is a problem
which the Nashville Banner seems de-
termined to press to a solution. In its
issue Of Thursday last it says:
The Memphis APPEAB Is now seeking
10 advertise itself by flying In the face
Of the almost universal sentiment Of the
press OF the State in favor Of free schools
and liberal and sufficient school system.
The APPEAL is suddenly seized with a
heart-rending sympathy for the over
taxed people, which Is not appreciated
BY the people themselves, whose chill
dren are growing up in Ignorance, or
else in its communicating atmosphere
The APPEAL pretends TO yield to the
popular demand for a school system, so
far as to be in favor Of one that can be
established without means. At al
events II indirectly, yet impotently and
Nalnly,r seeks 70 kill the educational
movement by raising a demagOgical
alarm about the State debt and the peO-
pies poverty, while manifesting. seem-
lngly, greater concern and a deener in
terest IN the question of the Immediate
future OF State bonds and the welI-being
of wealthy bondhoIders.
The Banner must have used hydraulic
pressure IN connecting the above tissue of
misrepresentation, or it could not have
compressed 50 much Hntruth in 50 small
a space. The APPEAL has said nothing
about Estate bonds" or wealthy bond
holders" But because we dared to suQ-
gest the propriety Of the Legislatures

. PnArn IssuE OF FACE.

1t is impossible TO induce the Aua-
lancde to face a plain question OF fact.
On Thursday morning ii accused the
APPEAL of favoring both Bowen and
Dorsey for United States Senator for
Arkansas, in order that 1t might have
an opportunity for rehashing its stale
blather about Inconsistency" On Fri
day morning the APPEAL exposed the
falsehood of the AUdldache; showed that
It had favored neither Bowen nOrDorsey.
1t was supposed that common decency
and shame would induce the AUGlanche
to retract its falsehood. But it neither
retracts nor attempts to prove its asser-
ton. 1t says:
An editorial in the APPEAL Of the
ninth, on the decencies and indecencies
Of journalism, and another in yester-
days issue of the same paper, would
look beautiful If ranged in parallel col
umns, just to illustrate the difference be
tween precept and practice.
This is the AUaldRche's response to
the request we made, that it would
either correct its statement, or substan-
tate it. The question is not as to "the
difference between the precept and prac-
tiee" of the APPEAL; but did the Ara-
Idache tell the truth when it asserted
that the APPEAL had favored both
Bowen and Dorsey2 Unless the AUa-
lanc6e retrscts its charge or proves it,
it will be guilty offs baseness of which no
honorable journalist could be. capable,
and 70 which no man who ever had the |
Of a gentleman could sink. Can
a good citizen or an honest man hesitate
as to hisduty ndersuch circumstance?
We have stated already in the most en-
phatic manner, that the APPEAL has
not favored either Bowen or Dorsey for
Arkansas United States Senator. The
Avalanche has declared that it has IA |
vored both, and made the charge
The basis for revamping the same old
about inconsistency. We de
handed the proof, and In reply we have
he above. This equivOeation and
evasion will not do. If the AUalaRche
neither retracts nor proves its assertion,
t will have shown itself 50 regardless Of
IS word, and so apt in the arts of
Misrepresentation, that it will no longer
Ne entitled to notice or respect. 1t may
rate about smallpox to its hearts con-
ent; it may ransack our columns with
he vain hope Of finding something to
ANN and that viii injure; it may empty
IS filth upon Us every day, and it may
axe advantage of typographical errors,
ut we cannot permit it TO fabrieate
harges for the purpose of rehashing its
about inconsistency.

We measured the riOtous baby

And the boy was just as tall,

And heart like jeweled chaltce,
