Editor Memphis Appeal
The ripple of political agitation and dis
cussion, which the publication of my en-
gagement with his excellency Jefferson
Davis, produced in this otherwise Chris
tian and loyal community, has crcled the
furthest boundaries of the Republic. In
| our invitation to the honorable ex-Presi-
dent, the representative in an eminent de-
gree of the genius and aspirations of the
South, we aimed to remove the last i'm
pediments to the emancipation of the en-
tire community from the thraldom of our
sectional prejudices and resentments and
unite our policy and destiny in perfect
amity beneath the folds of one banner of
a restored and united nationality. We
wished to demonstrate in diviner ampli-
tude the sincerity and impartalityl of that
chivalrous and fraternal feeling that in
spire2 the soldiers of-Fftzhuyll Lees Pal
metto legion and those of Massachusetts
to bury their enmities in the classic soil of
Bunker Till. Ten long years of a bitter
acceptance of the irreversibIe results of
civil war upon the part of the chivalrons
South should be sufficient to write q high
er law of general amnesty than Presidents
can grant upon the heart and sympathies
of every Northern citizen; an amnesty em-
bracing in it's broad philanthropy the re-
storation of all rights privileges and i'm.
munities that existed when Northern and
Southern blood mingled in common saeri-
fee on Mexican soil. The Grand Army of
this section, by no means embracing in it's
vindictive re9pnstrance the full express
sion OF the soldierly sentiment and honor
among US, lost its grandest opportunity to
win imperishable fame when it belittled
the generosity and chivalry of the con-
queror, and sunk the majesty of true he
roism in the pusiIanimity Of personal in
suit. Had this otherwise uoble band uni
ted in the city council as an escort to the
venerable ex-President, which / labored
to bring about, the laurels their valor
reaped on Lookout Mountain, and the en-
sanguined battle grounds of Shiloh and
Chattanooga, would have paled before
this sublimer exhibition of their MAGMA

The Brutality of Journalism.

itself. During the past two or three
weeks the truth of this has been
strlkingly and sadly exemplifed.-
There, for instance, was the case of
Donaldson. Hardly had the storm
in Which without doubt he persisted
like his companion, Grimwood, sub
sided, than thejournalistic ghouls be-
gan seeming for his body. First
came the discovery of bogus MESA
ges from the deep, indicating the
peril and agony in which the aero
nauts found themselves. Then a To-
cal liar in Michigan saw and con
versed with Donaldson in the flesh
and heard from his own lips that he
was only hiding till he could secure
a good gratuitous advertisement
through the curiosity and sympathy
of the public, and the anxiety of his
friends. Next another Ananias de-
tailed conversation he had not had
with Donaldson, wherein the latter
had, he said, declared his intention
at some future day of putting upv
precisely this sort of job. AS soon
as the body of Grimwood was found
an inspired country reporter started
the theory that he had been doomed
by lot to sacrifice himself or that
Donaldson had hurled him from the
ca2 W safe lis own life. A paper at
Cineinaat.I whose duties had come To
he receive, a. u proof of its decency.
stole this idea and elaborated it with
patient stupidity, discovering Don.
aldson in a dying condition and max
Ing him confess that he had murder
eel his companion. Then an Iowa
journal discovered that Donaldson
was alive and had resumed his posi-
ton with Barnum's circus as an aer-
onaut. If these hoaxes were only
stupid there would be little cause for
censure, but when they prolong and
increase the agony Of relatives and
friends they pass into the province of
brutality. At present some of our
Western contemporaries are discuss
ing in the hearing of Mrs. Lincoln
and her friends the question of her
sanity or insanity, and the wander
ing correspondent swoops down on
Mr, Owen, and prodding him in the
ribs with his pencil asks him if he
really is mad, and what was the cause
OF his mental disease. In Mr.. Ow-
ems case the wandering correspond
ent has apparently found an ally iu
the patients keeper, who trots him
out and shows his points with NOR
bid pride. All this is to be deplored
but cannot be remedied. So long as
brutes will write, fools will read and
we regret to say, so long as fools can
be found to read brutes will be found
to write. 1t is pity that among
those of our people who lay claim to

SPEECH OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
NO RADICAL COMFORT HERE
GIVE ARE ONE PEOPLE IN INTEREST, IN
DESTINY, IN SOCIAL FORMS
AND MATERIAL PRO
GREss."
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, !
Sent. S. lS15.I

ST. LOUIS, Mo-,
Sept. S, 1881
Jefferson Davis delivered an adj
dress at the Agricultural Fair at De-
Soto, Missouri, to-day, according to
programme. There was very great
crowd present from Jefferson and ad-
joining counties, and quite number
of the most prominent citizens of all
political sentiments.
Mr.. Davis was we'll received, but
no notable demonstration was made
on the occasion. He opened his
speech by expressing much pleasure
in meeting the people of this section
of the country, with which he was
we'll acquainted many years ago, and
felt rejoiced at its growth and pros
perity. He came, he said, not to dis
cuss those questions which vex the
minds and disturb the harmony
which prevails among the people. If
there are any who still entertain feel
ings of malice, or cherish bitterness
on account Of the past, let us with
draw from such. He declared that
whatever might he the Vaccinations
Of politicians, whatever the views of
policy and designs OF atecfart
might jtirt ID eaasa8eaate ia re-
gard tota tgarn, lae people OF tAa
great Mississippi Valley are one aud
must always remain one people in in
terest, in destiny and in social forms
and material progress. No man, no
course of policy, no deep designs of
ambitious men could ever discover
them. In all the future they would
surely stand together. The great
river bound them together by ties
stronger than any that politics could
ever invent, and from the source to
the mouth the people who dwell in
the valley must be united.
He then spoke at considerable
length upon the vast agricultural re-
sources of the country and the future
development of the commerce of the
Mississippi Valley, and its great adj
vantages and Importance to the ma
tion. He predicted that the time
would soon come when fleets of iron
harges would float down the mighty
Mississippi, bearing, commerce
greater than that of the whole world
hut little while ago; and in view of
the vast possibilities of this great
valley, he advocated the building of
q university which should serve to
confer the highest education upon
the young men of the valley. The
great population which must soon
swarm to this rich region will lead,
or be lei, according to the status
which they may maintain in mental
culture.
Mr.. Davis also urged the necessity !
of direct trade with Europe, and as
serted that specie resumption was
impracticable until our exports ex-
eeed our imports. He also declared
that Congress had no authority to de-
clare that specie payments should be
resumed at q certain date, and that in
the present condition Of the country
more currency is needed.
The gentleman's speech was fire.
quently applauded, and seemed at
least to give satisfaction to all his
hearers.
