SYMPATHY FOR THE NEGRO.

Tae Republicans are still bowling because
there are no negroes in congress. The coun-
try is told that the whites OF the south have
failed to return single colored representa-
tive in congress. But they refuse to elect a
cOlored man TO any sort OF Office in the north.
We see it stated that a negro barber of great
responsibility ran for the Rhode Island legis
lature at Providence, the other day, and the
Republicans voted to a man against him and
defeated him. In Republican Rhode Island
the black man has no greater show for office
than he would have in Russia. Here was an
opportunity for the northern Republicans o
show that they were sincere in bowling ever
the absence of the negro in congress. But
IN the Republican State of Rhode Island the
Republicans refuse TO vote for a colored can
didate fer the legislature. The only sup
port which the negro barber received
was by the Democrats, but as the Republic
cans had a majority, and hurled that major
ity against the colored candidate, he was de-
feated. This vote shows that this whine
about the absence Of colored representatives
from the halls Of congress is arrant hypoc
rsY. A large majority of the northern con-
gressional districts are overwhelmingly Re-
publican, but we predict that at the next
election for members Of congress not a single
colored man will be nominated by the white
Republican managers. In the face of such
hypocrisy they hold up their hands in
horror and Indignation that the Democrats
of the south refuse to elect colored men to
congress. Sch unblushing impudence is
marvellous.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
JRSDAY, APRIL "a, 1879
nrnrnRY sYhTENE.

We have frequently alluded to this subject,
and again recur to it. 1t is evident from the
tone of public sentiment that change will
be made in many of the States, as has al
ready been done in several. A bill has been
introduced in the Illinois legislature to abol-
ism the grand Jury system. 1t provides that
every person accused of crime shall have a
preliminary investigation of the facts (unless
he waive the same), and, when committed or
held to bail, the States attorney shall, there
upon, if in his Judgment the evidence and
circumstances warrant, file an Information,
in which he shall charge the person with the
crime in non-technical language, but in terms
so clear and specific that the prisoner shall
understand with what he is charged. Any
errors or mistakes in the information may be
corrected at any time by the count. This is
Substantially the law of Michigan. There is
a grow ny opiniJn that the grand jury sys-
tenn is not the brilliant success it might be-
and that justice would be as well served were
it done away with, but we believe that in the
end the States which have abolished grand
iuties will establish them again. Grand
juries properly selected, representing the in
telligence, morality and property of county,
are capable Of rendering much more valuable
service than the mere finding of bills of in
dictment upon er-paTfe testimony.

THEREACT;ON wELL ComE.

The Republican party can be compared to
the blind sea-gulls which dash their brains
out against the lighthouses upon the
coast. They enfranchised the negro to per.
peiuate power-but this experiment has
strengthened the Democrats, and In the
same proportion weakened the Republicans.
The negro is made dissatisfied with the south
and induced to emigrate north for the bene-
fit of the Republicans. But this last strategic
movement, like that OF enfranchising the ne
gro, will ultimately react and benefit the
Democratic party. So long as the negro is
IN the south he is regarded as a fragrant
rosebud, and many tears are shed over his
iancied wrongs. But 50 soon as he emigrates
north, becomes an iuc1mbrance on the pub

REVOLUTlON, ANARCHY AND
RVIN

IL seems the people are not frightened by
the silly gasconade about revolution, an
archy and ruin. The Republicans have been
telling the people for ten years that if the
Democrats secured a majority in both houses
OF congress their revolutionary measures
would so shake the pu6iic faith in the stablli-
ty of cur institutions that the national credit
would be deprecated and the government
would lapse back into anarchy, and ruin
would be inevitable. So soon as the Demo
Gratis announced their determination to re-
peal the test oath law and to deprive mar
shals, supervisors and troops the privilege of
controlling elections by intimidating and ar
resting freemen in the exercise of
the elective franchise, the howl of
revolution was heard from every
Radical throat. The downfall of the
republic was prolific theme for orators, who
Ia the halls of congress repeated the old
speeches they learned from the Columbian
orator in their bayhood days. about the fall
of Greece and Rome. But the Democrats
have a majority in both branches of con-
gress. The revolutionary bill which was to

there had been total coinage of silver dollars

where the bird is fairly settled. Whole
books have been written pro and con,
and naturalists have waged unrelenting
war upon one another, as they differed
in estimating the value and the services
of Pyrgita domestica; but, in the Judg--
ment of the writer, the entire practical
bearing of the controversy has not been
fully presented by either the friends or
the foes of the little finch, for 1t must
seem clear enough to those who will
follow the line of argument In this
article that, while the house-sparrow is
eminently fit and wonderfully well con-
stituted for life in Northern cities, yet
it is sad rowdy and nuisance in the
country; while in the former case 1t
renders admirable service in destroying
insect pests that disfgure the shady
avenues of city forestry, yet in the lat
ter field it cannot compete with our ma
tive birds in chronological service to
man, and, having given good reason for
dislike on the part of the growers OF
fruit, they are doubly incensed because
the law will not allow them to shoot,
trap. or destroy the enemy. PROF. II.

The American Career of the Sparrow.

The first attempt, as far as is known,
to introduce the common house-spar-
row of Europe to our country was
made by gentleman named Desblois,
in Portland, Me-, during the autumn of
1858; he brought over few birds from
the continent, and liberated them in a
large garden which was situated within
the central part of the city. They re-
mained there sheltered and secure un-
der the caves of neighboring church
throughout the winter, and in the fol-
lowing spring settled down happily
enough to the labor of nest-building
and rearing heiryoung. Two years later
the first pair of these tinches were set at
liberty near Madison square, New York
city; the importation was steadily re-
peated, the birds being released in the
Central Park and at Jersey City. They
were first introduced to Boston in 1868
by the city Government, and to Phila-
delphia by the municipal authorities in
1869, and from these small beginnings
the house-sparrow has been spread all
over this Northern country wherever

Their numbers are nearly countless.
The object at first for the introduc-
tion of the house-sparrow does not
seem to have been one of practical sug-
gestion, but rather one in the nature of
sentiment. Since, however, the atten-
ton of the citizens was called to the
great nuisance of the existence of can
ker and measure worms in the shade
trees of the old cities of the Union, the
fact that the house-sparrow would re-
main with us all winter, and feed as en-
ergetically upon the worms as any of
our own birds-which always, without
exception, left for warmer climes every
season-the thought of practical appli-
cation took life in encouraging the in
PRODUCTION of the English sparrow as
means of relief more certain than that
afforded by any or all our indigenous
finches. As soon as this became gen.
orally understood, the little John Bull
