VOICE OF THE PLOPLE.
The Horror. Of Manassas stree.

To the Editor OF The Appeal
Sir--Talking about paving, can nothing
be done for Manassas street, between Pop
lar and the Old Raleigh road2 II is the
only direct communication between North
and South Memphis east of Third street,
and |, in common with many other good
but unfortunate citizens, have TO cross ii
frequently after dark at the immediate
peril OF life and limb. The whole street is
a disgrace TO any civilized community, and
would not be tolerated for week by any
people on the face OF the earth except the
easy-goinp long-sunoring Southerner. The
roadway Of Manassas street during the
present wet weather is impossible for any
ordinary vehicle, and the sidewalk, where
there Is any, is such conglomeration OF
ups and downs that the unwary traveller is
particularly fortunate II he does not sprain
an ankle at least once in each block. Near
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad there
is single plank ten inches wide and
twelve or sixteen feet long spanning n
yawning gulf, into whose cimmerian
blackncss the boldcst waylarer gazes with
awe rs he gingcrly treads the oscilating
apology lor Il bridge; while The timid indi-
vidual dare not attempt the passage, but,
divesting himself OF his upper garments,
swims shiyerngly across the raging bayou.

II Was Merely Figure Of speech.

To the Editor Of The Appeal
do not believe that you represent the
sentiments Of every Democrat "to reach
for his fighting clothes" should the Rcpub-
lican Administration enforce upon the
Southern people the same honesty ut the
ballot-box as prevails elsewhere. Justice
is what the people want, and shall have
nothing less, no more. The day when our
desires, aims aud aspirations can be re.
corded at the ballot.box will mark the be-
ginning OF new era. Popular govern
mcnt is farce without IT, Democracy be-
comes u sham, fraud, a pretonse, when
unlawful methods are used to carry an
election. JuhriCE.

misses the epithet "high toned' as
unworthy of polite literature, 1t
says: "Guiteau applied it to the
woman with whom he had lived, and
who gave evidence in his trial /
had hopes that this would have killed
it," If "high toned" could only be
relegated to the literature of police
gazettes, dime novels, and the adyer-
tisements of those "gents" who sell
ready made ''pants,' where it be-
longs, it would be to the advantage
of other American literature.
