a few days since special dispatch,
rejecting upon contemporary. found
its way into the columns Of the Appeal.
We at once hastened to make amends
for the seeming intermeddling in a
matter that did not concern us. The
Appeal will observe this rule for the
future. When two gentlemen are
quarreling, it is considered an ungen-
tlemanly intrusion for third party to
take sides, and it is equally as ill-man-
nered and obtrusive for a newspaper
to join in contrOsersy between two
others. Certain tis, the Appeal will
never become the receptacle for all
the foul garbage, falsehoods and in
situations which the press of the sur
rounding country may see proper II
pour out against a city contemporary
Memphis Appeal.
We know nothing of the dispatch t,
which the Appeal refers above, but W,
heartily approve the spirit of the para
graph which we have quoted. A
prominent feature in American jour
.nalism which attracts the attention o
every thoughtful reader is a spirit o
professional detraction. Too man,
editors in every State of the Uniol
seem to conduct their respective pa
pers as if their only hope of success
and salvation was in the depreciation
or denunciation of their contempora
ries. Instead of being band of bro
theirs, they act too often as if the
we're band of enemies. Instead o
feeling and upholding pride of pro
fession, there are none so quick to IN
derrate the work and worth of pro
fessional brother. The public ca
have but little respect for professio
which manifests such lack of respet
for its own members.-Union an

THE election returns from various
localities in the North, are very fiat
tering 10 the liberals and democrats
Democratic majority for Governor of
Connecticut, is put down at four thous-
and Cincinnati has gone the same
way. st. Louis and several towns in
Iowa aud Michigan give similar re-
turns. These facts tend to confirm the
truth of the policy We have insisted
upon again and again-that ia the
North. the battle for freedom must be
fought, and that the South as a reserve,
can do no effective service, except rs
unit in It's cooperation with demo-
cratic element whether il be purely
bourbon. or mixed with materials
nearly assimilated. The northern De-
mocracy wants recruits-withOut them,
Il cannot overthrow the existing des-
potisn, and as the South is powerless
to do it, it is sheer madness for any
portion of its voters to stand aloof
from the fight on the plea that some
of the northern troops are not simon
pure bourbons. The Liberal Demo-
cratic movement in the North, was
emineutly wise and Conservative and
deserved success which many in the
South worked hard to prevent. Co.
operation is not necessarily, amalga-
lssticn of different political .creeds
and the South, in seeking relief from
oppression, Is foolishly sensitive in
analysing agencies through which that
relief is to be obtained. .

postponed the selection of said officer
until the first Monday in July. !

pie of the county may have ample time
TO select such an officer.
Now, / have one in my mind who,

satisfaction. From long and init.

there is no one who would fill the posi-

century was one of the most successful

THE eolored voters of Washington
threaten to drop Grant if they con-
tinue to be ignored in the distribution
of Offices. IF they had sense enough
to discharge the duties of the lowest
offices, they would have learned, long
ago, that the only use the RAIDS have
for them is TO vote for Radical
whites. Here and there, in the South,
one or two are allowed to fill Office, in
order to keep up appearances, and to
hold the negroes together and to the
Radical party; but in the North where
negroes are scarce and white men
abundant, the case is altered. We do
no believe, however, that the colored
voters will ever have sagaeity to learn
their true position in the Radicals
ranks and that will continue to play
the part of solutions in the Radical
kitchen.

Samuel Randall was informed by
the Attorney General, to-day, that he
could not have access to the records of
the Department of Justice, for the pur-
pose of seeing what papers were filed
to induce the President to pardon Ba-
con, the Philadelphia repeater. The
refusal was placed on the groundi that
the pardoning power of the President,
under the Constitution, was a personal
prerogrative, not subject to be called
in question either by Congress or the

passes away the Republican party. No
continued professions of virtue and re-
form can save the political organiza-
tion whose leading members, with a
large majority in both Houses of Con-
gress, have shielded corruptionists and
perjurers, and thus made themselves
responsible as a party for the ofenses
they were too eowardly or too base to

THERE is great rejoicing among the

portion of the Radical party, who are
Disguised with the corruption and law
lessness of the party, where are they
to be found? The Republican party,
as it falsely styled itself, was made up
of Democrats and Wings, and it is
fair to presume that many of those de-
luded converts to abolitionism, still
cling to their first love, in theory, how
ever far they may have departed in
pratice, from the teachings of Jefferson
Webster, Clay, jackson and Calhoun
To such wanderers from the patti
marked out by the old Constitution
we must look for accessions to the
strength of the party opposed to the
corrupt and usurping enemies of pop
slar government who are paving the
way to an imperial despotism.

populations of the States which would
use this outlet for commerce the
amount of surplus products of grain
in those States which are not now able
to get to market; the cost of complet-

take.
We submit for the benefit of this
committee that it would be we'll for
