FRIDAY MORNING.
SEPT. 10. 1869.
X H SPA PER SA L ES.
On the 31st of March last, the cluing
day of what newspaper men all concede;
to be the busiest quarter of the year, re
turns were made by the several newspa
per concerns of this city, showing the fol
lowing result:
Appeal .ulW H
Avalanche 4MNI 00
We have recently taken occasion to
condemn the meeting held in Xa-h-ville
to take into con-idcration the
disorders in Rnthertord county, not
because we were wanting in all proper
respect for the respectable gCtttlmca
who were concerned in it, but beeanse
we deplomi the very feet of the un
due influence given to that matter by
the importance which their grav. de
liberations gave to it. The expres
sion of correct views, lite the sjieak
ing of truth, is always proper enough
when called for, and when anything
at all should he said. But great meet
ings at the capital, conducted by men
of 8tate reputations, and heralded by
an influential press as the salvation of
the State, and the proof of loyalty
which needs no proving, must always
le mischievous on occasions lews than
extraordinary. No other inference
can be drawn abroad from such a pro
cedure, than that of undue timidity or
that an urgent call existed for it. And
hence our Nashville cousins should
not forget that they are great men,
living in a great capital, and likely to
be accredited las the representa
tives of a great State. The ef
fect of their speeches and reso
lutions (good enough in themselves)
has been to produce the impression
abroad very much as we had appre
hended, that lawlessness was general
or likely to booome so throughout the
State, that their expression of opinion
was tacitly conceded by them to be
necessary to prevent such a state of
things, and that the Radical charge of
a disposition to lawlessness ou the
part of the late " rebels " was well
founded. Such are the inferences
drawn by the Northern Radical press,
not so much from facts which
tiiey know, as from the par
ticular fact of the exigence and ob-
jecto of such a meeting. They
infer (contrary to the fact and
to the intentions of those engaged in
that meeting, that rebel lawlessness
has all along been particularly ready
to crop out, that it has taken fresh
license from the result of the August
election, that it needed to be repressed
by Judical measures, and that ;t was
always utronger in tho late Confede
rates than any where else a slumber
ing power and danger ready to burst
forth, like volcanic firs, whenever
the restraining hand was removed
from them. These gentlemen neither
made in terms, uor intended the ad
mission, that these irregularities were
chargeable on the lute Confederates,
we know full well. They will prop
perly and truthfully deny both such
an intention and such a belief. But
the effect of their action is what we
deal with, and their upright intentions
and elevated characters only highten
that effect, and render it more
pernicious. It has now gone
oat, authoritatively enough for all
Radical purposes in the North, that
the Conservatives, Democrats, ex
rebeia, are, to a large extent, disposed
to break the law in the oppression of
I'm en men, black and white, and
that the gray-headed, the wise, the
tiftiid aad the good, (who comprise a
part of the Tenmssee tieoplei are
againat sch outlawry.
This is not the condition of things
here, and it ought riot to be made s,,
to appar. There is no need oi public
meetings, calling on the Governor to
enforce the law, and promising him
the ample support of the people. He
knows that already, and all the Ten
nessee world knows it, and all the
world outside should know it as well.
An equally law abiding people ainnot
be found in the Northern States, so
far as the whole body of old
eitieens and ex-Un federate- is
concerned. But we liave dis
orders nevertheless perhaps in
excess of some of the homes of tke
non-emigrating elasg of young old la
diew in New England. This is due to
two principal causea, which, taken
away, would leave us, as a peaceful
people, without a rival. The first if
the natural consequence of war upon
all populations, and the demoraliza
tion, especially to the young, which
springs from the license of the camp.
This would be equally trueof any oth
er people in the same circumstauces,
and especially of and conquered peo
ple. It has nothing to do with any
eetJonaJ feeling. Ooly those who
-hirkid the tight are foot. They v. ho
fuugM are friends, willing to be so.
The seennd cause is the influx of
stranger, adventurers, sharpers and
criminals, from other States, and their
influence on the freedmen. They
came here to live as they may. Idly,
luxuriously and dishonestly, or to en
rich themselves without scruple as to
the means. Disguised and undisguised,
they commit crimes, tell the freed
men that it is no crime to take from
the whites what they can, and stimu
late the indolent and more reckless
and desperate of the late slaves to all
the worst vices and crimes. The
principal curse of the State is these
u carpet baggers " by which designa
tion is not intended to be included a
single Northern man, as such. The
freedmen would behave ten fold bet
ter than they do, if these carpet bag
gers were driven out of the State.
These causes have produced the dis
orders under which we labor, and
which are not attributable in any de
gree whatever to the countenance of
respectable citigens. They were una
voidable, ami cannot be immedi
ately remedied. To put them
down, needs no proclamations,
no protests, no public meetings,
no orations nothing btrt en
forcement of the law, which nine
hundred and ninety-nine out of every
thousand of our citizens are and al
ways have been readv to enforce with
alacrity. To proclaim that fact by
resolutions Ls only to make proclama
tion of the integrity of the people of
Tennessee, which is either alove a
slander, or insufficient as the basis of
a good reputation, and not likely to be
mended by the most earnest protest
tions of the ten righteous Lots in
Nashville. We ask these gentlemen
for the fjiture to possess their souls in
patience. Many a " crisis " has passed
awav even worse than that which oc
curred hi Nashville, on account of
Rutherford, without proving the
death of the State. We eaunot afford
to admit that our citizens an' lawless
in any sense requiring extraordinary
restraint. We cannot afford a tacit
consent to Radical slanders, intended
for Northern consumption and de
signed to save the waning life of the
Radical party. This is no political
issue it is a vital one.
The New York Tiiiw warns its
Republican jarty that it is " unwise "
for (Jen. Grant to Interfere in the
case of Tennessee, that it is not the
duty of the "general govern
ment to determine the pertis.tn
result of a local election." The
Tim thinks interference with
Democratic and Conservative tri
umphs cannot be safely ventured m.
The New York ffntrU adds, " We
should say not."
We are glad to learn tliat tin Life
Association of America is attracting
attention that there is every pos
sibility of its speedy organization in
Memphis, and upon a basis that will
be satisfactory to our people, and in
sure the sucoess of the Company. The
gentlemen having charge of it are of
themselves a guarantee of its success
tie- method if doiafr business, awd the
results already secured, insure what
might be regarded as doubtful by the
uninitiated.
We had the pleasure of a visit ye
tenlay from Dr. PiorGH, the origi
nator of a scheme for a marine and
industrial exhibition at MempMlsj
on a scale of magnitude and looking
iouch results as have never been re
alized here. The Doctor is very en
thusiastic in the undertaking, and
promises largely, Iki'Ji of results and
organigation. He states that men of
capital and resource are intended in
the enter prise, and that he has
promises of bsp that lead him to re
gard U as an accomplished fact. We
Thk cin-ultrtion f the Aiulaneke is
now rapidly in.-n-asitig, and ha reached
a higher point than has ever before been
attained by any paper in the South.
The above is the affirmation of he
Aralimrft? of September 9th. Some
few might possibly he found credu
lous euough to believe the statement
of our cotemporary in regard to our
city papers; but none, we opine,
would for one moment credit thelxjast
over every pijier of the Sotith. There
are pajierain New Orleans publishing
in a single day more than the self glo
rifying AtrtniirfN floes In a week.
WE had the pleasure of a visit yes
terday from Dr. Wm. W. I,ka, of Ful
ton, in this State, to whom we are In
debbd ftw a copy of his speech upon
the " Facitic Railroad," delivered at
the great Commercial Convention,
held in this city- in May List. The
Itoctor has consented to become a can
didate to represent Dyer and Lauder
dale in the Constitutional Convention,
which we'" hone wTII tie cafled together
some time next February. As Dr.
Lea agrees with the Appeal, the
Ap?eax can do no less than cor
dially commend h'tiri to the -fhvorof
thepeople to whom he Is well known
a people who have been gathered to
gether during his residence in WNt
Tennessee, and by whom he is re-
garuV-d as the patriarch of the district.
The I 'o.-tor can do much for his neigh
bors, .ind we believe h i- their interests
at heart. We know that he has the
iBiemgence ana t&o ability for any
position he aspires to.
TiiEHpringBeld (Mass.) llepMi
of a recent date says that white poplar
wood is in good demand in Berkshire
county in that State, and that there it
brings $11 per cord, to be ntede into
paper. A correspondent says : "This
" is a capital text for an article on the
" Importance of establishing a paper
" mill here and the facilities afforded
" in the abundance of the material
" needed." We do not think an ed
itorial is necessary. The cjuotatiou
from the h'epiMioan speaks f itself
and tells the whole story of the neces
sity for the establishment of a paper
mill hero bore where the material is
abundant, where labor is abundant
and equally cheap, and where the de
mand is growing and is to grow be
yond auy present or probable oppor
tunity of accommodation from home
resources. We hoj that the atten
tion of enterprising persons will be
drawn to this matter, and that we
shall shortly hear of a movement to
wards the utilization ef the material
indicated In the way suggested.
It seems evidently to nave been a
part of the mokkh-Radical policy to
make party capital out of what may
occur in Tennessee, and to procure
acts of outlawry for tliat purpose, if
possible. To stimulate the fears of
the negroes that they were about to le
ill treated, and to incite them to such
acts as would bring aliout retaliation
by white citizens, was a very ready
means of accomplishing that object.
And accordingly, It is now ascertained
that this programme has been in a
few instances carried into effect, by
some mean white men who were
probably instructed or encouraged to
carry it out. The Murfreesboro Mon
itor has exposed one ofthe men, who
has since left the State for the good
of the State. But, while the Radical
press has been prompt to condemn the
whites who undertook irregularly to
repress the disturbance gotten
up by such men, it has not called for
enforcement of the law against them,
and we do not see that it manifests
any particular anxiety to punish the
negroes whom they made their instru
ments and dupes. Another case has oc
curred In Hardeman county,
where some of the same villian-
oas whites have endeavored to
stir poor ignorant negroes to
acts of violence, intending no
doubt to leave them to take any
loonsequences which may ensue, while
like Skillman, in Rutherford, they
fly from the State. Still another case
of this character has occurred at
Macon, where a riot was gotten up,
which proved serious, and five of the
Sheriff's posse were wounded in the
attempt to suppress. This originated
between a negro and some little
boys. Next day the brother of
tlia negro, who had threatened
the life of D. J. Boswei.i., was killed
by BoswELii, both drawing their
weapons at the same instant, and Bs
wei.l proving the most expert. In
Rutherford county the whites under
took to avenge the shooting of his
horse from under one of the number,
and the Radical press anil the whole
Radical North is made to ring with it.
But when the negroes at Macon un
dertake to avenge one of their num
lier, place a whole town under mar
tial law and under guard, insult and
t'-rrify women and children, and are
with the greatest difficulty prevented
from taking many lives ami laying
the town in ashes, as they, with fear
ful imprecations, threatened to do, no
exciting comment Is made by the
Radical press, no meeting is
held in Nashville, and no troops
are demanded or sent, or procla
mation issued by the Governor on
the subject, it is time that the ef
fort to make party capital out of law
less acts bv anv class or color tame to
an end. Iet tlie law 1k fairly and
equitably enforced against all without
distinction. Jietthe law against in-
citiug to riots and other criminal mis
chiefs, which is now on the statute
books, be faithfully put in execution,
and no quarter be shown to such mis
creants. And let more stringent laws
be enacted if necessary. We shall
have no trouble ,alout enforcing
the laws always anil everywhere.
In another column of our paper will
le found the proceedings of a .public
meeting at Collierville to declare that
the people will enforce the hiw and
defend themselves and protect all in
nocent persons against violence.
There are some blacks, and whites,
too, who have lived in the laish and
escaped the consequences of their
crimes so long that they dare to
threaten whole communities! They
have served the Radical party while
it was able u feed them, and now
that the party is no longer able to pay
they are getting desperate. The citi
zens may have another necessity for
self defense, and tints the party gain
new thunder.
The proposition of Mr. Bbixkley
for the purchase of the Little Rock
Railroad stock owned by the city, not
being under consideration by the
Board of Aidermen we have nothing
to say concerning it. When the
Board enter upon a discussion of its
merits we will have comments to
make. We only ask that the uiem
liers of the Board inform themselves
thoroughly and act honestly up to
the ir convictions. ST?
We have a scholarship in the Ken
tucky University at our disposal,
which we desire shall be availed of by
some deserving young man who is
ambitious of a thorough education,
fitting him for any of the professional
avocations of life. Such an one, by
calling at the Appeal office may hear
of something to his advantage.
