pay The Memphis appeal says OF
Brooks, one Of the present Governors
of Arkansas,
Brooks is a mailman, cfazed zeal
OF; a raging revivalist in politics and
in the pulpit. He is q very devil
when unchurched. and he fell further
when he fell from grace into the pul-
pit of politics than Belial when kicked
out of heaven into kingdom come.
Brooks, by the way, was the one
elected by the Democrats.

order to save his own to himself.
And it is not to be denied that it was
the Democratic practice during the
war to do this very thing. Hence,
when the Federal army come into
East Tennessee, they found the
Union people exceedingly bare OF
anything on which an army could
subsist, while their Confederate
neighbors had much in comparison.
The lille which had been left in the
hands of Union people, or saved by
hiding, was freely given up as an
offering on the alter of their country,
while much of that abundance which
had been left to their friends by the
rebel al mics, was taken and used to
supply the army which their conduct
had brought here. When these
Union people ask pay for the little
remnant of property left them by, or
which they succeeded in saving from
the enemy, and which was taken and
consumed by the Federal army, the
Government lays down certain rples
with which each of them must com
ply before cent can be paid them I;
but when proposition is made to
place all claimants on the same foot
ing-to subject all to the same re-
quirements-it is Col. Thornburgh
who steps forward and says no!
Why's Because, as he says, the
Commissioners do not hold that hav-
ing taken "the oath" is conclusive
proof of loyalty. And who does not
know that taking the oath had very
little to do with settling the question
of mans position during the war 7
And, who knows Of one who was in
fact Union man-who Gin the bottom
of his heart uttered silent prayers
for the safety Of the Union" and yet
who has been unable to prove his
loyaltya And farther, who does not
know of men whose synpathies were
all the while VIGOROUSLY with the
rebellion, and who have nevertheless
been able to prooe their loyalty? We
remember 10 have heard that one of
the strong points made by Col.
Thor,thergh, against Caldwell, his
competitlt': in the last race, was that
he had taken the o0th too often.
Whether Caldwell has a claim we are
not advised; but if SO, and Col.
Thornburgh's policy is to prevail, we
can see no objection to its being
paid.
We now say, again, that we protest
against this doctrine on the broad
ground of right and wrong, to say
nothing of the impossibility of the
Government paying such enormous
sums as such q policy would demand
The result would simply be that
Congress would be compelled to re-
pudiate the claims of all, or bankrupt
the nation.

that he can carry Madison, Gibson,

necessary for Mr.. Campbell to carry

Campbell for Governor!

should have good loins, and when these
are associated with q long back, and the

the animal possesses both speed and en-.
durance. Look at the harss and rabbits,
grayhounds, deer, aud all such animals
and note what thickness of loins and
length and muscularity Of big limbs they
all exhibit; while their fore parts amount
to hardly anything in comparative sub

with thin. narrow loins can last; the mo-
ment his feet stick in the dirt, that mo-
ment he will fail. 1t il the good loin

that tho back should be long or short, of

description Of what q back ought to be,

sink little below (behind) the withers,
