leaving the subj ct until he puts him

will suggest to him that the APPEAL
denouUcss theft and crime wherever it
finds it, and that it does not, as he does,
saeS to justify one crime with another.
We do not offset the crimes OF the thief
Tweed with the chimes Of the thief
Belknap, VINO, by his own confession,
ro55ed the POOR and poorly-paid private
soldiers Of their hard earnings in order
tia, he might outshine all others as a
leader OF ton at the national capital.
One wrong does rot make another right,
and the rehashing OF all that Tweed has
done, as robber of the people Of New
York city, will net justify Belknap's
robbery Of the private soldier, or Grants
counivsnce st the crime. The spirit,
tone and purpose Of "A Republican" is
3 bad one. Afraid to stand forth as the
defender Of the crimes of his party and
partisans, he seeks to cover them out Of
sight by the cry of Democracy! De-
mocracy" That, let US say, is simply
stupid, and won't wiz.

DECAY AT MEMPHIS.

mart. Her cotton trade H. 1875 amounted -
about twenty-five millions OF dollars, against
lllEty-fuur millions IN 1874, shOwt 6 a decrease
In this uuc o. business OF more than eight
millions OF dollar in the past year. To Offset
ihis, however, the Memphis chamber claims
al Increase in the general merchandise &C
count uf from thtriy-nins millions In 1874 10
forty-fOur millions tie past year-a gain OF
about I'VE millions-Which amount, IN turn,
Leiucted from the eight millions lost on cot
ten, still leaves Memphis a. a city on the de-
cline. -Nsto OrisanS Republican.
There l. nothing Ia the facts, as stated
in the report OF the chamber Of com
merce, TO justify the conclusions so flip
PANTY INDUCED in by the Republican.
TIE document states distinctly what
every sane individual knows, that the
d creased value OF cotton receipts at
Memphis in 1875, as compared with
1874, WAS due to the great decline in
pr &c, amounting, as it did, to twenty 10
twenty-five dollars per bale. While 1t
is equally true that whatever decline
there may have been in receipts that
ye2r was solely due to the drouth and
consequent short crop. While, there
fore, the shrinksge in value Of our cot
ton trade for 1875 was owing to a falling
off in price, which affected all the mar
kets Of the world alike, the increase Of
five and quarter millions IN the value
Of cur impoTtstioas Of general mer-
