DIED.

THoMPSON-May llth, JESSIE IsLER, wife
0I III. John Thompson; daughter of the late
captain Wm. b. Isler, Of Tiptonville, Tenn.
" Be ye kindly affeetiOnate one to another"
was the guiding principle and spring of all
her actions. It was the consideration for
others that impaired a sOftening delieaey to
her manners, the influence Of which was felt
by all who knew her. Thus has passed away
into the spirit land one of the best and lovliest
of her sex. The silver cord is Ioosed; her gen.
tie spirit has fed, but she stfll lives in the
hearts of those who knew and loved her.
Language cannot express our grief at the loss
Of this idolized wife, sister and niece-JEssIE,
our loved one. M.H.C.
JoHNSoN-on the morning of the 18th
inst, II. r. JOHNSON, wife of DR.. W. W. John
son. Her remains win be taken North for
interment.

In the APPEAL of yesterday were
seen headlines placed over our Con-
gressional dispatches rejecting upon
the political integrity of Hon. Daniel
w. Voorhees,, Of Indiana. 1t is useless
for US to say that Mr.. VOORHEES, has kind,
honest, generous and noble heart as ever
throbbed in human bosom, and should
his eagle-eye ever fall upon the unfor-
tuuate and unjust lines in the
APPEAL rejecting upon his personal
and political integrity, we know his
handsome lip will curl with scorn, but
he will never feel one-half the indigna-
lion we felt in perusing them. Dan. w.
Voorhees, has been the leader of gal
liant and stout-hearted minority in the
North. who have continued the unequal
contest with despotism, fanaticism and
corruption until the tidal waves are
about to flow back upon even them.
He is bold and vehement, but never ag-
eressive except for the maintenance of
the right. He is a man whom nothing
but a sense of duty keeps in the service
of the people, and for whom public sta
lion signifies disinterested work for
his fellow-men. The purity of his pri-
vate character gives him solid basis for
public esteem. A calm, high soul beams
from his eyes, and the APPEAL would
be the last to place shadow upon his
broad and pleasant brow. Mr.. VOORHEES,
is one of those extraordinary creations
who leap into manhOOdwithout the pro-
baton of youth. At twenty-five he was
eminent and in full practice, ranking
with the oldest and leading MEM
bers of the bar. Truly he was
born great, for none of his friends
can remember when he was not
great. Never, in social life, with
a private friend in Congress, in the
courthouse, or anywhere is he
even apparently simple, or like other
men. Everywhere and on all Occa-
sions he looks and he is the great man.
He is great in his frivolities, great in his
humor, great in conversation, great as
a LAWYER, great as an orator, great in
everything, andin nothing Is he little.
But it is Mr.. VOorhees's devotion to the
constitution, to Democracy, to the
South, and his detestation of cor
ruption that first won our admiration.
The frowns, the threats and the bland
5shments of power have been unable to
move him. Never has he quailed or
faltered. When the time comes that a
public man in the North is not sustained
in the South, who has been as true as
Mr.. VOORHEES,, then will we deserve no
friends in the North; then viii we pre-
sent to the world the aspect of ingrates
moving on step by step, with a tread
of fate and destiny, trying to crush out
the brave and gallant spirits who have
stood forth asking for nothing but the
nre servation Of the Constitution. Dan
ieI w. Voorhees, is one Of the tribunes
of the people who stands up now as in
other days for undying principle, and
paIsied be the hand raised to strike
down such a pure and incorruptible
statesman.

Rev. DR.. Huston. of Baltimore.

We think the Associated Press is bestow
ing too much attention on the case of Rev.
DR.. Huston, of Baltimore, who appeared
Yesterday before the Methodist Cont. renee,
at Warrenton, Virginia. The press has
been teeming with disgusting reports and
details lately, asserting belief that Dr..
Huston took advantage of his lofty position
to debauch respectable young girls, mem
bers of the Sabbath school of his church :.
There is so much of RIGHTEOUSNESS TO report
everywhere, that the press here will publish
nothing especially new in illuminating this
particular case. The Baltimore american
of a late date expresses the conviction that
"a more base and black hearted villain
never disgraced any walk Of life than the
Rev. l.. d. Huston has shown himself to be,
and that the poor children who have been
the victims of his lust are deserving and
should receive the Sympathy of the entire
community
Column upon column of this terrible
story could have been published in the RE,
PUBLICAN, but we chose rather to keep
silent upon the subject, until the Associ
ated Press has forced it on the attention OF
our readers,

Democrats will have nothing to do with
voting, because they are disfranchised and
many of the younger fry think it clocks
well" to have nothing to do with the politi-
cal parties, save to "d-n the Republicans"
and to belong to the knights of the White
Brotherhood" or something Of that sort.
In many counties they have prevented the
cOlOred men from registering, and keep
them in perpetual terror by threats of deato
in case they vote or register. This will ac-
count for the fact that at the last election
llS70) there were not quite 81, 600 votes cast.
The condition OF the State is healthy.
migration comes IT gradually. The rail
roads are building as rapidly as could be
expected, while the large yield Of cotton
has brought an ample supply of money into
the State.
Even the bitter Democracy concede the
fact that republicanism is the true policy
for the material benefit of the State, but
they are chronic sore-heads, and growl for
the sake of growing. They acknowledge,
however, that the State has better name
that her credit is better, and the prospects
are brighter than ever before or since the
State was admitted into the Union.
A certain calamity is predicted here, as
well as along the banks of every river in
the South, on account of the immense fall OF
snow in the mountains and to the north
ward. One of the best informed gentlemen
in this State Ia resident of forty years in the
South informs me that the levees from our
State to New Orleans are not high enough
by three feet, and that certain crevasse
may be looked for on one side or the other
of the Mississippi, and that it will be pro-
ductive of far more damage than the Bon
net Carre crevasse of last year. give you
this "prediction" for what it is worth.
