Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-06-19

The question about the title of President
Hayes having been disposed of, the last Rad
ical battery has been silenced and every gun
spiked Instead of bowling revolution"
and REORGANIZATION" the Radical newspa-
pers are turning their attention to the dis
closures that have been made. The Demo-
Gratis in and out of congress have decided
that the forty fourth congress had exclusive
jurisdiction in the counting of the electoral
votes; that the decision of that congress was
conclusive and final; that no subsequent con-
gress has authority to review its action or re-
verse its judgment; that its determination is
as binding and irreversible as that of every
other tribunal of last resort from which the
constitution and laws provide no method of
appeal or mode of redress. This position
taken by the Democrats will enable them to
reap the full advantage of the damaging dis
closures. Nobody now fears revolution, but
the Radicals fear revelations. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer thus severely denounces the
unprincipled Radical newspapers that repeat
the falsehood about Mexicanization after the
recent vote of congress: 'This authoritative
disclaimer will enable the Democratic party
to reap the full advantage of the revelations,
whatever they may prove TO be, respecting
the Louisiana and Florida frauds. The coun-
try is entitled to know the bottom facts, and,
so far as they disclose Republican rascality,
they are legitimate party capital for the DEM
ocrats. But if the object were to put Mr.. Hayes
out of Office the whole country would rally to his
support, and the damaging facts disclosed
would be sighted and despised by citizens
who regard the public tranquility as the
paramount interest. But when fears of revo-
luton are set at rest the country will weigh
with candor the proofs of fraud, perjury and
forgery in the Presidential election. 1t is for
the obvious interest of the Republican party
to have it supposed that the purpose of the
investigation is to put Mr.. Tilden in the
White House. 1t is equally for the interest
of the Democratic party to refute and explode
so injurious charge. The report of the ju-
dietary committee has been accepted by the
house, and the Republicans have not rag
or shred to cover them from the result Of the
Potter resolution, should it be damaging
Whatever the result of the investigation may
be, it is wise and prudent for the Democratic
party to extingulsh the cry of revolution
raised by their opponents, which has been
done effectually by the house adopting the
report Of the judiciary committee.

TURKISH WIVES.
Extract of POIygamy-M1staken West
ern Ideas Regarding the MOslems.

First among the Turkish social topics is
that of the harem. The Koran allows Mus
sulman to have four wives; and many persons
have consequently imagined that polygamy IS
the rule In Turkey, whereas it Is the excep-
ton. A Mussulman may only have as many
wives as he can keep in comfort; and 1T is
only the very rich who can afford four. The
middle-class Turks.have only one wife apiece;
the men of the lowest class are often Obliged
to remain single from not having the means
to support a consort in the style which the
Moslem law enjoins. Nothing can be more
Turkish than the Mormon idea of accu-
mulating a number of women to live under
one roof, quarrelling in the kitchen and par
lor, and acting as household drudges for their
husband The Turkish wife is not a slave;
the chief fault to find with heris that she has
too lofty sense of her own dignity. An ad-
vocate of female rights would have some diff
Guilty in pursuading her that her lot is pitia-
BILE; she has never envied the emancipation
of christian women, whose free ways shock
her; while she has noticed that they get much
less respect from the men of their faith than
that which is vouchsafed to herself. She wells
her face with no more regret than western
lady unveils her shoulders. Turkish women
are not shut up They go out when they
please, attended by their odaliks if rich, OF
holding their children by the hand; and their
maybe voices fill the bazaars, for they are
noisy takers. w heneVef tney pass, men OF
all creeds stand aside deferentially. If a
husband meets his wife in the street, he
makes no sign of recognition; if he perceiv' ,
her hating before diapers stall and gazir G
significantly at silk dearer than he can afford,
he must possess his soul in resignation, NUT
tering "Mashallah." This respect for wo-
men prevails also in the home circle, and il
comes naturally to the Mussulman, who hs
been taught from his boyhood to behave
courteously to the softer sex. The westei r
coniugal expression about wearing the
breeches" has its Turkish counterpart in the
phrase to Give under the slipper" and it il
to be feared that not few Turks know the
taste of this implement of uxorial persuasion
A hamal (street porter once came before a
cadi to complain that his wife trouuced him
too frequently. ''See what mine does, an
swered the magistrate, opening his gown and
showing some weals on his neck and shout
ders. $50 thy way, my son, and thank
Allah thou art luckier than l.
