The Brownsville States says that Dave
Num- has often made the same speech,
on the streets Of that town, that he made
the other day in Congress. Dave has
had his speech labeled by the printer
with such title as would lead us to be.
live that within there is something sen
sible said about the currency and fnan~
cial questions which are t,gitating the
country, but is nothing bat an old fash
toned abuse Of rebels aud stale clap-trap
that use to win the negro. lie use to
repeat it in Bolivar.
The Memphis papers Of Sunday give
accounts Of a most disgraceful riot by
the negroes at the National Cemetery,
who went out there for the purpose of
decorating the graves of the Federal
dead, on Saturday last. The crowd was
Composed ch iehy Of negroes and the row
began in an attempt to break up some
refreshment stands that had been placed
on the ado lining grounds. Ed. Shaw
the irrepres sible, made speech in
which he toe K occasion to reiterate his
sentiments in favor Of the Civil Rights
Bill. He vas followed by w. J. S'mith

The Hunts, lille correspondent of the
Union and AZ nerjcap says: Capt. VIM.
Richardson, Of this city, one of the
most prOmis ing young men of North
Alabama, is me ntioned by several papers
for Congress N an for the State at large
When God made Capt Richardson, and
turned him loo sc, he made him honest;
the mark is pla ced upon his face, and
can be read of AL men. Billy was our
schooI>feiIow, nd we know him to pos
sess the first TWO requisites for Office
honesty and capability. W e should ike
to see him represent in part the interests
Of our old State in Congress. H
BIC TRUTHs--We clip from the edi-
toriaI columns Of the Appeal che follow,
ing paragraphs, from which it will be
seen that the Memphis and Knoxville
Railroad has strong hold on the afeC-
tons of our Bluff City neigh bors:
This is the road that Memphis must
rely upon to furnish her with the means
of becoming q manufacturing city, and
thai Vest Tennessee must look to as
her great source Of supply for what she
so much needs-Iime, mark lie, iron, corn,
wheat, live stock, and pro visions of all
kinds. If we lose it it Wi be our own
fault, and would show de gree of blinds
ness on our part winch we cannot be-
lieve exists. Whilst we are and ever
have been the advocates OF all roads
going out Of Memphis, and particularly
of roads leading to the wmst, we must
admit that there Is a grea ter diversity
of wealth and production or the line of
the Memphis and Knc zVllle road than
on any other built or projected road,
and when we ememb9r how small a
sum is asked to secure rs this road we
are astonished that the amount asked
for is not subscribed at once, SO as to
let the road be put under contract imme,
diately, and our merchants during the
summer months will DO a lively trade in
supplying the contractors with material
and merchandise.
We admire the sturdy blows of cur
cotemporary and have a lively faith in
their results. Keep on striking while
the iron is hot.
The following from she SOmerville Fa5~
con is about fair expression of the sem
timent of the press oE the State in regard
to the CIVIL Rights Bill so far as we have
been able to gather it from our ex-
changes
If the infamous ciY1 rights bill be-
comes a law, as it is likely to do, there
remains but one course for Governor
Brown to pursue, and that is to call an
extra session of the Legislature to cons
slider the importanc &c Of repeating the
entire school law of Tennessee. If this
social iniquity is to be forced upon US,
roZeH UoleaS, we are positively in favor
of wiPing out the public school system
forever, and CT letting the infatuated mes
groes reap the fruits of their absurd de.
mands, by remaining in Ignore nee the
remainder of their existence as & race.
We are willing to educate them in sepa.
