JUDGE BROWN.


A correspondent in the Memphis
Avalanche, in commenting upon
the bluuders made by the citizens
of Memphis in-the selection of men
as agents to negotiate important
matters touching the interest ofthat
city, and urging g different line of
policy. and the selection of a more
reliable class of men, says: aft we
have none, we had better import
one. Better have paid such a man
as Milton Brown fifty thousand dol
lars year for many years back,
than to have had our interests here
murdered these many years past by
imbeciles, failures and grabbers." "
We can't spare Judge Brown from
jackson, yet awhile, but we will
loan him to Memphis on The 11th
inst, SO that he may open the eyes
of the "imbeciles' on the NeR State
question. s2 81

Memphis Paducah and the New
state.
AIessrs EdifersE

Messrs Edforss
As a hooker on at the late Csonven-
ton, must express the qualification
IT, I experienced ia not only the
proceedings, but in the character and
standing of the representatives Ger
tainly but few bodies of equal digni-
tg and ability have assembled in the
State since the war This Of itself
must argue well for the success of
the scheme. / must express my sur
prise however, at the absence of amy
delegates from the city of Memphis.
WHY were none present? It cannot be
because Memphis would not be adj
yancad as the commercial city OF the
new State. Having some little expert
ence in the Legislation of Tennessee,
I am sure that Memphis has never
had that consideration in the Legis-
lation of the State that her position
and commercial Importance demand
ed, and What she has obtained has
been through the diligence and labor
of her Immediate representatives and
not unfrsquently at the expense of
wise LEGISLATION being often forced
to support measures in the interest of
individuals or localities not meritOri-
Gus, but IS a means of securing need
flu. Liquidation for Memphis. With
this State formed out of the propos-
ed territory, Memphis and Paducah
would as the great commercial cen
tres, of the State, grow in impor-
lance never dreamed of heretofore by
their most ardent friends.

1t VIII Take Harmony.


We are not much on the polite
just now, but th-re is something in
the following paragraphs from the
Nashville Banner and the Franklin
Review, which the opponents of the
Republican party in Tennessee will
do well to ponder. Why not take q
''new departure" and leave old par
tizans, like ex-President johnson,
out of the calculation. No one de-
MES him great ability; but his per-
petuaI appearance before the ''peo-
ple'' has turned the political stoln-
achs of many, and they can never be
rallied to his support; and whether
that feeling is right or wrong, there
is no doubt about its existence, and
it is the part of wisdom not to run
hesdlong against inevitable defeat,
by persistent effort to foist upon
the people a man whom so large a
proportion do not desire to employ
in the transaction of the public
business.
The Franklin Review is pretty
certain that Horace Maynard will
be the Republican candidate for
Governor next canvass, and asks
itself these two interesting conun-
drums: care we ready to meet
him?" ado we wish 10 defeat
him ?" To the first interrOgatory,
the Review says:
L: we answer the first interroga-
tory truthfully, we are compelled to
say that we are not ready; and we
fear that we never will be. The un-
fortunate canvass of last year de-
mOnstrated that we have q very
large party in this State, who will
not frateFniZe with the ex-President
for any purpose; and "a there is a
large and respectable number fol-
lowers of that distinguished states
man in this State, we feSF that
breach cannot be closed.

What, then, becomes of the asser-
ton of one of our contemporaries of

bear interest? There must be some

The New state Movement.

The Nashville and Memphis
press, we believe without excep-
ton, have taken g Aing-fOr that
matter, several of them-at the
New State movement SO happily
inaugurated in this city last week,
by one OF the largest, most enthusi-
astie and harmonious conventions
ever assembled in the limits of the
territory intended to be consolida
ted into one political community
The Nashville and Memphis press,
in this, have but exercised q natu-
raj and indefeasible right, and we
are not going to vex ourself about
theirs-grumbliog and growling.-
Let 'cIn grumpte ana grow.
The preserve mean the interior
press-ot West Tenn. and North
Mississippi, with few incohsider-
able exceptions, are ardently 10 fa-
vor of the measure, and will coop
crate heartily in favor of its accom-
plishment.
Perhaps it is only natural for
Nashville papers TO oppose the
movement, for they are the repre-
sentatiYes of nothing but a fossil
lzcd old fOgyism, and are as inca
pable of cOmpreheEding a live
movement as the stones upon which
their city is founded; but the Mem.
phis papers, which have some repn.
tation for life, activity, progress
what is to be thought of them fer
the click back" which they throw
in, and which is as feeble as it ia
foolish, and not in accordance with
the spirit of progress BY which they
are generally aetuated.
The press elsewhere is beginning
to speak in at least respectful tones
in regard to the movement, and,
though there are difficulties to be
encountered, we shall continue to
speak of the movement, and keep
the public mind awake to the i'm
POrtance of the matter. 1t may
never be accomplished, but the dis
cussion oft may lead to g better APP
probation Of the country embraced
in the proposed New State.
