I Memphis. Tenn MEMPHIS APPEAL TDE-lur, : APRIL 11. 187G. THE MISSISSIPPI IMVESTIGATIOS. The Chattanooga Times say": "The Memphis ArrEALfchculd have the man liness and courage to fight Senator Key fairly or quit. Its plan of attack on a speech it refuses to publish is cowardly; and its sycophantic references to the memory cf Mr. Johnson, whose charac ter it so fiercely ess ailed when he was a candidate for the senate, are nauseat ing." We have no comment to make on the diccourtcsy in the above extract, or to the accusation that we "assailed" Andrew John on "when he was a can dldato for the senate," as our leaders know that the charge Is wholly and en tlrely false. This complaint about not publishing speeches on which wo com ment lata new demand in newspaper etiquette. Did the Times publish the cpseches of such Democrats a? Thur mauand Byaid,diametrically opposing the position of Senator Key? The Times breaks out in periodical attacks on the speeches of Morton, and if we are not mistaken bis Mississippi investigat ing speech. We shall not be guilty of tha discourtesy of attributing the failure to publish the speech on which it comments to that me meet of all casen "cowardice." When a Tennessee paper squints at re pudiation, the Times scowls with virtu ous indignat'on, but the refusal to pub lish the article which it belabors is no evidence of a want of "manliness and courage." We did not publish Senator Key's speech, because we did not wish to inflict upon our readers the sickening and obsequious praise of a Tennessee senator who licked and fawned upon the hand that had just inflicted upon the backs of the southern people a mer ciless and unjust castigation. But we take higher ground of opposition to Sen ator Key. His servility and voting in bad company can be excused. But there Is no excuse. for his violating the consti tution. Hacertalnly knows that the Mississippi election was for representa tives in congress and for State officers. The senate of the United States- iiae no f ariediction over either election. The Steto "n judge of the election of Its I oB officer, ri the house of represent atives is the sole jitfgeof the returns and qualifications of its embers. Tet g.na'or Key votes with the Radicals to make the United States senate a star chamber to sit upon the rights ot tho free people of Mississippi. It is asserted that the late elections in New Hamp shire' was carried by fraud. If Senator Key should introduce a resolution to in Vtstlsato this charge, the party with wlwm he recently allied himself would repel him more readily than they re ceived his eintfices. The proposed in vestigation of the Mississippi election was instituted for party purposes to capital In the next Presidential man,, majority of the committee election. . -r Republicans, select will be composed o. - -nanuficturing ed for the sole purpose oi - Gov- frauds, violence and intimidation ernor Alcorn, now one of the bitterer JUdicals In congress, made the epeech that brought on the riots in Coa homa county, Mississippi. He furnished the Appeal and the New York Tribune with accounts which prove most conclu sively that the whites scted on the de fensive. But don't Senator Key know that the committee for which he voted will report that the Democrats carried tie Stute by ftaud and intimidation, and that this charge will subserve the purpose for which it was intended in the Presidential campaign? Whatever the evidence may be, the Radical majority will distort it to Buit the object In view. Toe legislature of Alabama, investi gated the election of Senator Spencer, snd demonstrated beyond the possibility of a doubt that be secured his election by bribery,fjraud and corruption, and the Radical msjarlty which sustains this villain In his ssat in ihe senate, will not a iruple to fabricate any charge against the people of Mississippi. It has af forded us no pleasure to take Issue with Senator Key on his strange vote. A'l oar personal prejudices are in his favor. Hit blameless life and abilities have given him a position In the senate which a new man seldom secures, but as Democrats and truth ful journalists, we are constrained to say that he committed a grave error In lend ing himself to a scheme concocted for the purpose of making puty capital In the Presidential election by slandering and misrepresenting the people cf Mis sissippi, who achieved their late tri umph, not by the ftaud and intimida tion that will be charged upon them, but on account of the brazen robbery and usurpation of the thieves and plun derers. We', learn from tho Knoxville Zri buie that much dissatisfaction exists In the first district over the appoint ment of Colonel M'KIn.ey as tem porary judge, In room of Judge Glllen wattw, deceased. It Is alleged that the appointment " be ft re Judge Gillen waters's remains had been Interred," was an Insult to the dead," and la gross discourtesy to the HviDg, who "had pre sumed upon executive forbearance, and had, thsxefore, taken no occasion to present theirviews t- the governor in regard to tho succession." Indeed, to such an extent does "indignation" pre tall that on Monday lait the people of " Democratic old Sullivan" held a pub lic meeting In Blountvllle and adopted , resolutions wldeh cnijdoy terms even more severe than their. Wevirymueh regiet to rectrl this, for, as the Tri bune says, "the executive, pofsibly, bad good lessons for his ac'.Ion. The em birratsments cf the executive ofhee are not always known to the people. There may have been a necessity for the ap pointment of a judge I e'ore Judge Qil lenwaters was Luried. Tublic emergen cies warrant extraordinary promptness, always. But now that the appointment is made, snd all parties are acquiescent, why not let matters rest fcr the pre sent?" ' The Nashville American, in an edi torial written with temper and dignity, and pervaded by a becoming spiiit, dls CU3E03 the case of JoJz, of St. .Louis, shot by Shane whose sisttr tho villain se duced, and says, what we heartily in dorse, that "If rape Instead cf seduction bad been bis c ffsnse, an infuriated mcb might long einca have most summarily dealt with him. And yet of the two of fenses, we doubt if the letter is not tie most atrocious to the pc or victim and to ssciety. If Lynch -law can be regarded aj justice in the one csea it should also be Justice in the other. We know of no Injury so great that could possibly be in flicted .upon the victim and upon the family. If there is ever a time when swift exercise cf mob law could be deemed a virtue, it should be in meting out speedy retribution for crimes like tbese. The eternal misery entailed upon one life, and the ruin visited upon a household, ara Incalculable. The In Jury to society is not greater by tho per petration of any other kcown oflenie in all the catalogue of cr mo. In just such cases are the ends o' jastlce most frequently cheated, and in no other criminal oflensesBhould indignant com munlties be more impatient at the law's delay." As to the right of coDgrcas to make Investigation in the local elections of a State except for determining the quali fications of members we have already expressed an opinion. Despite the so called enforcement act to which, by the way, the supreme court, only a few days ago, gave a black eye we deny, absolutely, the right of any congres sional inquisitorial power. What would our neighbors say should the Democratic house of representatives send b commit tee to Investigate tho lato Ifwflamp thire election, which was notoriously one of the most corrupt ever held in tho Union? Knoxville Tribune. Just the reasons advanced by the Ap peal for its opposition to Senator Key's vote. The3e congressional mvetiiga tions ara one-sided and partial, and are intended for political effect merely Principally to keep up tho mischievous idea that the Radicals build upon before the people of the north, that the south em people are not lovtrj of justice, aro not In sympathy with the Union sent! ment ef the north, and are in a chronic condition cf rebellion, all cf which, in the case of Mississippi especially, has been disproved, disapproved and de nied by Senator Alcorn and Senator Bruce (colored), and Stato Senator Ham Carter (colored), and by other equally prominent Republicans. 1tis rumored in XMtw xorK that a secret organization has been formed in that city "designed to afford aid and comfort to the Mexican revolutionists on the Rio Grande. The feeling is said to ba, that the Mexican States along that liver will soon declare their inde pendence of the central government, in which caso there will be a splendid op portunity for enterprising and ambitious Americans, who are looking to political, as well as .military preierment in the future. The organization In question has this contiL'gency in view, though its plan of operations contemplates no act ive violation of the neutrality laws." The Aberdeen Examiner indorses Governor Stone's appointee, Mr. T, S. Gathright of Nosnbee county, who he appointed and the senate confirmed as State superintendent of public educa tion. The Examiner says: "Mr. Gath right is himself one of the ablest teach ers that Mississippi can boast, and wo congratulate our people upon the fact that-they have at last succeeded In plac ing him in a position where his skill, ability, and executive talent can be ex ercised lor the common good." TfOBTH UDSEjISSIPPI. TV ho are Talked or to Till the Place to ' be Vacated by lamar. nocratlc and Republican Nominees Warm Contest Expected. "'dent of the Ap- From an Occasional Correspu. peal. Corinth, Apiil 7. Although it -many months yet before the two parties will be pitted against each other, the people have already begun to canvass the claims of the various aspirants. As your reader are aware that in conse quence of Lamar, Mississippi's gifted representative, who would have been the nominee of his paity for congress by acclamation this fall, being erected to the senate, the Democracy will be called upon to elect another standard-bearer in this district to succeed Lamar. Specu lation is rife as to who will be the "coming man," and almost with the appearance of every sun a new Rich mond appears in the field. There are quite a number of patriots anxious and willing to seivfl their country. Fore mot among these is Colonel John A. Blair, of Tupelo, who is a man of sterling qualities. He made a brilliant record during the "late unpleasantness" as a noble, gal lant officer. For a number of yeara past he has been district attorney in this district, and with his name inscribed upon the Democratic banner, at the end of the struggle we will behold it waving in triumph above the flag cf the Radi cals and despots. Tne last issue of lbs Sabaoiler and Democrat, published at this place, came forth from the press with the name of Colonel F. E. Whit field. Jr., at its masthead. Hon. Reuben Davis, of Aberdeen, longs to wear the congressional robes; and his friends (their name is legion) will make a stub born fight for him before tho conven tion. Colonel M'lntosb, of Okabns, has been declared a candidate, as I un derstand; and as he has many strong advocates in this section, cr scope of country, I am Inclined to tho belief that the man who triumphs over M'lutosh in the convention will occupy Lsmai'a former seat in congress. It is not known yet who the Radical party will depend upon to carry their ensign into the fifjht. It is thought by many that Judge Orr, of Columbu, is their strongest man, as he is the onlj' member of that party in this district tnat can measure swords with any of the Democratic aspirants above named. It Is also lumored that Colonel A. E. Reynolds, formerly chan cellor of this district, and a resident of Corinth, will enter the lists and be her alded forth 88 the "people's candidate." This last Item was caught "floa'ing In the air," and ss information derived from such sources is not worthy of much credence, there is not much belief at tached to it. The rare will be a very warm one, as the district bill recently passed hy the legislature incorporates into this beretoiore overwhelmingly Democratic district several counties in which the blacks and Radicals (the terms are synonymous) predominate, which not only reduces the Democratic majority, but makes it necessary for the latter parly to c into requisition all their latent strenpth and prowess in or dcrto insure sucoes. JTho appointments of the Judiciary !s looked for with eger interest, but the conjecture cf to-day Is not tha same as It was while the alirn Ames ruled and controlled the aff-lrs and appointments of the State as to whether tho appointees will be compctoat or not? But a change has come over the spirit of our dre ims, and wo now ask simply who the favored ones will bo? for tho people have too' mnrli confidence in his excellency, Gov ernor J. M. Stone, to even questlpn. ibe competency of his appointees." But I expect before this is placed In print we will bq thoroughly enlightened on the subject, as the governor has already commenced making the appointments. Prolixity is too often the bane of corre spondence, aad I must therefore hasten to close th's "drift of events." Your paper, the Appeal, reaches Corinth, a distance of nearly one hundred miles, at halt past eight o'clock on the morning of its Issue, almost before the business men have got themselves in "trim" for the day's business. ' s. KICBMOXl, TIRGISIA. The Science ol Government, after Six Thousand Yearn, sttll Yforully Imperfect. Too Heavy Taxation anil n Horde of Unproductive Men and Women the Curse of Our Time. From an Occasional Correspondent of the Arpcai.l Richmond, VA., March 31. It seems a strange thing that with the experience of six thcU3anu jears at our command, and with precedents covering almost every possible exigincy in legislative af fairs, it is such a aifficu't matter to take care of a State. Yet it le an undeistood fact that the science of government is still wofully imperfect I suppess it will be so until the mlllenium. Yesterday the Virginia 'eIslature adjourced sine die. It w su lice body of men, erabrac iug some of the highest talent iu the State. Tbey had brains and buncombe. They realized tho critical situation of public afialrp. They sat In council four months. They did their best, and doubt less did it honestly, yet when the mes sengers from the bouse waited upon the governor to Inform him of their readi ness to adjourn, those jolly libertines of the quill the reporters made his ex cellency gravely say he hoped what they had done would yet prove benefi cial to the country. The issue is prob lematic. They did some things which will unquestionably redound to the profit and honor of the common wealth. Several timely rebukes were administered to corruption. A true mau was elected to the senate. Tht-y gave the university of the State thirty thousand dollars, and never did a wiser thltg. They revoked the charter of tho buuthern association, a lottery scheme, which, under the seductive guise of pa triotic benevolence, was destroying the morality of the people. It must be con fessed that the legislature was confront ed by a stupendous task. Parliament at the restoration was not more embar raesed. The work is net yet done. There are wild breakers around the ship of state, and it is necessary to keep all the political pumps in action to avert a wreck. Nothing but consummate states manship can rescue Virginia from the disasters which threaten her. iter tern tory riven asunder by the edict of tyran ny; the portion left her made as desolate as the desert by an enemy that took her churches lor the stables ot their cavalry, and the mansions of her peoplo for their barracks; a debt of over forty millions oppressing her hollow treasury, and ruinous taxation wringing reluctant tribute from her impoverished people; an unparalleled stagnation of trade in all her borders, drying up the fountains of prosperity, and rascality winding its snaky coil around many of her offices, Virgtnia stands to-day a mere skel eton of what the was before the war. the shsdow of what she ought 10 ce. vvnen Aiexanaer started upon his expedition against Asis, and lavished the gifts cf Macedon upon his friend3. one of his officers asked him what he had reserved for himself. He replied "My hopes." Her hopes are about all Virginia baa left. Yet the Virginians are nopeiui. -j.no oapusm or lire and blood was only christening tbem for a higher destiny. The hospitality, affa bility, refinement, independence and love of gkiiy which always character ized them remains. The ebony retinue or mo oiu loru ci tne manor has gone; the primative go-cart, drawn by a single harnessed ox, has taken th6 place of the plantation team; the fences have van ished in smoke, and broad, uncultivated acres wanton in returning wiidness. Everybody talks about the hard times, but amid it all, and despite it all, these peculiar Virginians maintain their spirit, display their pride, discuss their pe ligreo. They will do it. You may tell them it is a historical puzzle whether they are descendants ot Ene lish nobles or English convicts; you may remind them of Randolph's fa mous sarcasm that family blood is often like the blood of English horses, so highly improved that it is all blood and uo horse; or cf the keen retort of Judge S., himself a noble, to the bragging scion of a decayed aristocracy, that all they say may be true, but vou can't help thinking of the potato, tho largest part of which is in the ground: you may even quote the roistering wit Depend upon It, my snobbish friend, V oar family thread yon can't ascend, AVlthout good reason to apprehend You may find It 'oozed attue other end By some plebeian vocation ; Or, worse tun that, your boasted line Mar end In a Iood of stronpm t.vin That plague! some worthy relation." "--s no difference with them. It iiUkv.. -ble self-complacency Their impertu is refreshing, on all genealogical mait. " "icestral Secure in the consciousness oi ' -m dignity, tbey scorn the humor Shot .. their pretensions. A joke rdns the round of the university that if a North Carolina student is asked from what place he came, ho replies, "From North Carolina, just over tne line." Yet Wash ington Irving tells us that in colonial times the disaffected Virginia subjects would flock into the Old North State, where liberty first lifted her ensign and independence declared her rights to en joy there the freedom wnich British Batrapa denied them here. One grrat trouble in Virginia, Messrs. Editors, and it afflicts all States in common, is the non-productiveness of a large part of her populaucn. I believe it was Egypt, in olden time, that required every man to register be fore a magistrate his vocation, and in default of having an honest one to trot to the quarries. I suppose that was the way Pharaoh, or who ever it was that built them, got so many men at work on the pyramids. And if a similar law were executed in our country, we might rival the monuments of the Nile! Men dicant idleness in rags whines its guilty petition from door to door; an Attican Hercules, carrying a hundred-and-sev-enty pound avoirdupois in his clouty old clothes, and oleaginous aa a "Syrian olive-dealer, hangs around the depot to sell apples. Only a few days ago, a prominent physician in Richmond be ine: led by the piteous tale of a woman to investigate her case, discovered a den of professional paupera only a few hj.Ies in the country. Laziness is our curse. Our fields needs laborers; cur paupers lashes. A good cowhide in the banc's of a virtu us constable is worth a who'e legislature. If we have saluta'y laws nn this subject they are eel tlom executed. Our liberty mutt look to the foreigners strongly like a species of lunacy. It too often means laziness it may mean any thing. If a bank fails in China all its ofliceis have their heads chopped off without ceremony. It is a bard fate, but there hasn't bsen, so tradition tells, a bank failure in the Celestial empire for a hundred years! Undoubtedly a great deal of the indolence around us is due to the swindling, cheating and lying of the day. The decay of public morality and the consequent withdrawal of public confluence, has depressed the energies of our psople. But the oppressive pro bation will not last always.
