KORTRECHT
Rises to Explain the Little Transac-
tiOn Alluded to by an Appeal Cor
respondent in our Issue OF
Yesterday.

EDITORS APPEAL-I ask space In your pa
per to briefly notice the following sentences in
an anonymous communication In yesterday g
APPEAL: "Mr. Kortrecht never was IN the
habit Of doing something for nothing. He
could tale unfold, If he chose, as to how he
got possession of valuable, highly improved
residence by working upon the fears of the
former owner of the property, of threats or
talk of confscation and demolition, to meet
the wants or necessities of the Federal au
liberties" This evidently refers to the pur
chase by me, in 1864, of my present resi-
dence. The simple facts are: In the summer
OF 1854 real estate agent In Memphis,
named Haley, who, think, is since dead,
came to me and asked me If l wished to our
chase a desirable residence. | told him |
did. He told me the Ceaves place, on Shelby
street, was in his hands for sale at thirty
thousand dollars, and he put Mr.. Cleaves and
myself IN communication. In a very few
days we completed trade, giving him for
his dwelling house and one-half of tho
ground attached to it ten thousand dollars in
cash ana other property which had cost me
fourteen thousand dollars. In the deed to
ME, we nominally put the price at twenty
thousand dollars. The next year purchased
the other half of the ground from Mr.. Barney
Graham at six thousand dollars. A few weeks
after my purchase l heard for the first time
that it had been contemplated by the militia
ry authorities to remove or tear down Mr..
Cleaves's residence, On account of the Fort
Pickering fertilization, and that this, per-
hsps, was one of the reasons for Mr.. Cleaves's
willingness to sell. How this may have been
| do not know. Not word on the subject
ever passed between Mr.. Cleaves and myself.
That l got possession of this property ''by
working upon the fear of the former owners"
or ''by threats and talk of confscation and
demolition to meet the wants or necessities of
the Federal authorities" is statement, so
far as 1 am concerned, as groundless and
and false as it is possible to make statement
with the same number of words Not word
ever passed between Mr.. Cleaves and myself,
neither before, during, nor after the pur-
chase, on the subject of the probable or pos
sible con 6scation or demolition of the proper
ty. The rumor l heard after making the
purchase l never mentioned to Mr. Cleaves.

Hon. Blackwell jackson,

A communication appeared in the
last issue Of TnE DEMOCRAT, pro-
pounding certain questions 10 US, as to
Mr.. jucksOn's past political position !:
also questions touching bis pecuniary
Affairs; and We will now eudeayOr to
answer these questions from tho best
information We have beea able to
obtain.
We understand that Mr.. Jackson
wus Know olhing during the
existence Of that organization in THU
country, IND We also understand that
the opinions Of Mr.. jackson, like
thousands VI VIhr's. has undergone II
decided change since that time.
We think it II decided mistake to
undertake to hold aty one responsible
for views entertained twenty-five years
ago. What We wsnt now is to know
tho views entertained By tue various
candidates at present.
Again, this appeal il made to iu-
fucncc tic CutLolia GOte Ct this county.
aud the author VI that communication
greatly under rates the intelligence Of
the Catholics Vi tho county when he
thinks he can influence them with any
tach stgf.'
We sec by the records Of the County
Clerks Ol!ce that Mr.. Jackson did,
in 1870, convey his property to his son,
Lloyd Jackson, Fjr the use aud benefit
Of Ills wife. aud il that conveyance he
provided for the Payment Of several
thousand dollars Of his individual
indebtedness and us security for others.
We are informed that Mr.. jackson has
not Only psi! oil his own Indebtedness,
but bus paid every dollar hat he has
been ajjuJscd liable for Us security.
There was suit pcndirg against Minor
G. Hall and his security for u debt
claimed to hc due this county; bal
Judge Lewis sOmc two or three years
ago decided they were not liable for
the debt; ahL wo presume tho honesty
Of our correspondent would not carry
him 80 lar Us /" pay u security debt
which COart had decided 10 did not
owe.
We have Sid this much in answer
10 u communication which appeared 10
our absrnre; and hCd We been hOmc
We would not uAvr pGtliShed il. Since
We have had charge Of this paper. We
have invariably refused to publish
Communications Of personal nature !;
apl We desire it to Ic distinctly uudcr-
