onNcERNING THE APPEAL.

Memphis APPEAL publishing company
and is no longer connected with this pa
per, either as an editor or owner. w
are not authorized 10 speak of Colone
DuPre's future arrangements; but fee
at liberty to say that the health Of hi
family is precariOus, and change Of 10
cslity is prompted by the advice Of ply
sicians. In whatever community b,
may cast his destiny, he will be fol
lowed by the prayers and good wishes o
the people of Memphis, among whom
hehas been a prominent citizen for TWEEN
ty-six years. The journalistic ability OF
Colonel DuPre is Of 8 high order For
many years be has given the wealth Of
his erudition, his fine critical acumen,
and thoroughly literary habits to illu-
inmate the press Of the country. No
man in the south mas written more, and
no man has written better. His schol-
arly sttainments, his sparkling genius,
and his great versatility Of talent, ena-
be him TO write eloquenuy, readily,
ably and correctly on aEy subject
which he may see proper to bestow his
great and attractive powers. With
talents and attachments Of an order
which has enabled him, apparently
without an effort, to take rank as
writer with the foremost men Of the
nation, he unites a spirit guileless and
unselfish and temper Of such patience
aud suitability as TO win the affections
Of all who know him. He would not
hunt Uncle Tobey's tiyi indeed, his
splendid abilities have too often been
psrslized by a generous heart and an
suitability Of nature, that left his lexicon
OF life without that stern and emphatic
moRosyllable "No!" With mind and
heart thus endowed and adorned, ne
has never needed anything for the
most eminent success in any walk Of
life than to mark the position he would
have and occupy it. Colonel DuPre is
yet in the meridian Of life, and we
cherish the hope that, yielding to
the impulse Of a just ambition,
he may yet ascend to that high place in
the service Of the country which he is
so well qualified to ill. At any rate
for his entire success in all that he may
deem essential TO his happiness, he will
have our best wishes and earnest prayers.
The sale Of Colonel DuPre's stock and
interest makes Mr.. Felix NJ. Jones a
stakeholder in the Memphis APPEAL
publishing company. He has been con-
nected with the APPEAL for two years,
and Vill continue in the position he has
SO satisfactorily discharged-thst OF
business manager. Mr.. Jones is the
son Of the lamented Governor James c. |
Jones Of this State, and be is earnestly |
commended to the many friends and |
patrons Of the APPEAL as a gentleman |
Of the highest integrity and business
qualifications. -Four years ago there
were thirty shareholders in the COM

purchased until it is now owned solely |

aud Felix N. Jones, who viii, il posi-
bic, make the APPEAL still more ac-
csptsble to the reading public. The
elections are now over, and there
viii be nothing Of a public nature TO
interfere with our industrial operations,
and there viii be ample room for a geG-
ersl discussion Of cur great material in.
terests. In the future IS in the past, our
columns viii be filed with important /
news matter Of diversified interest, and
in every political canvass the APPEAL
viii stand ss it has stood for thirty-four
years, and in. the late canvass, sguarely by
the Democratic party and its nominees.
Men Of little faith; political independ-
ents who have been burying and preach
ing the funeral Of the Democracy for
four years, have been awed into shame
and silence by the glorious results Of the
recent elections which have sent thrills
" joy 20 the hearts of patriots in the
north, and ten millions Of down-trodden
southern people. The party, about
which the traditions Of three quarters Of
3 century gather, and around which ]
cling and cluster the memories and af- ,
Tections Of every lover OF constitutional
liberty is triumphant, and the iron heel I
IF the despot must be lifted nom the {
lecks ola PROSTATE people upon whom it /
ramples in the wantonness Of power
and ia the malevolence Of revenge. Clio 1
i0usly onward is the grand old party, q
which traitors have been stabbing under :
he garb Of friendship, but who will now {
rsscherously shout for the success of :
he cause their puny arms could not de- il
troy.
