THE MEMPHIS APPEAL
FOR 1881.

The APPEAL. having completed the
fortieth year of its existence, needs no
elaborate prospectus as to its future
policy. Suffice it to say that, believ-
ing the Democratic party to be the
safest repository for the great trusts OF
the government, the APPEAL will cOn-
tinue to be a Democratic newspaper.
While faithfully adhering to the party
which it has supported for forty sears,
il will labor earnestly for the develop
ment of southern thought, southern in
dustres, southern literature, southern
agriculture and trade, and southern eff
fort for unity aud brotherhood be-
tween all sections of the country. II
will endeayor to secure from congress
liberal appropriations for the improy
ment of our rivers, favor railroad bnild
ing, organized efforts for immigration,
manufacturing, and every enterprise
calculated to promote the prosperity of
the people. The APPEAL has no COM
petitor in the vast territory which
forms the field of its circulation, and
which il occupies almost TO the exelu-
>io. of any other morning paper, and it
will continue, in all-the essentials Of a
flrst-cIass newsfapers to maintain its
conceded position.

Louis. where deceived another railroad
official and got pass by presenting a
duplicate Of the above letter. At this
writing he goes unwhipped of justice
but we dar0 say he will yet come to
grief in his mad career.
DESCRIPTION.
JOHN Wesley Manahan is 3 feet II
inches high, and straight as az Indian.
His hair is dark aud thin on top, with
a sando mustache. and a high and
prominent forehead. One Of his front
teeth has large gold filling; his eyes
are dark; his movement rapid and nerv-
Gus and his address pleasant and win
ming. He dresses neatly, wearing
when he left, a small round-top black /
hat. lie is shrewd, finely read and |
well Travelled.
During Menahan's residence in
Jack.1n hc deported himself as a gen.
llemsn, and was even punctilious in
The observance of the reputable rules
Of society. We feel assured his crimes
have been the result of gaming and
hat the fascination of the card table
caused his ruin and disgrace He was
not addicted to drinking, only now
md then taking a glass of beer.
This ugly chapter of crime should be
| lesson to young man. A gambling
lell is the gateway of all the ills that
blight the lives of the young. If you
would act well your part in life avoid
hose dens of vice that entertain you
only to curse your good name and
character.
