making II a. the sams tine seTvioesble 70 our
party and useful to the community. To do
this, we have found the cash system indis-
Psnsabls- We intend to adhere 70 it, and
while W. DO this, we can know no distinctions
between high or low, rich or poor, friend or
foe. As a Memphis establishment, where
eaHh is required for everything, we conduct our
paper on business principles. By our wisest
aud best friends, this policy has been aP-
proved, and TO their judgment, eouP'ed with
cur own, and an experience Of two years, we
alone pay homage.
Il some friend has laid the following ex-
1sef upon our table, we presume, FOR re-PubI-
cation, and without giving the name Of the pa
per from which It was clipped The sent-
nents Of the article harmonise In every re-
spect with our own, and we only regret that
we are not enabled to give the proper credit:
HoSoRAs1E SEErMENrs.-The Washington
SatcT publishes the following extract from a
private letter WTittCn by an ex-menber Of
Congress from Virginia, in response to q
liberal ofsr for services in procuring the pas
sage OF a claim bin through Congress:
Ihavs examined the report with great care,
and have reached the conclusion, the claim is
not only a debt Justly cue by cur government,
bu. one Of 50 sacred a character that il ought
20 Be promptly and gracefully paid.
As 70 the fee Of i've thousand dollars, which
yUl Ofer ne to aid you In the passage Of this
Just bill, me money certainly would b every se-
osptable 70 one Ike myself, whose available
Tetources have been 50 materially impaired bv
alsng service In Congress, and If the case was
baors the Supreme Court, or even the Court
q Gains / should be very prompt 10 accept
X; but without meaning 70 give any ofense, !
mlst say that ! have a most insupsrable objec-
uon 70 receiving compensation for such q ser
wee as you propose % ne. Inis, you nav
say, isa mere prejudice yet 1t is one Of those
Vreucices that I think / hail never overcome.
Il Is true / an no longer a member Of Con
ETess, or IN any way connected with the fedora
GoreTnmsut, and consequently at liberty 20
pursue any invocation % which NY taste mas
Incline ne Sll. having for the last eight
wears been q member Of the House Of Reure-
seutaGves, ] have contracted such an aversion

consideration, exercising ais influence 70 pro
cure the passage OF a private bill, no matter
how Just that ball nav be. that I could never
teel erect N ny oHH set-esterm,H II accep-ed
any compensation for such service.
There is a high toned morality in the seut-
meats above expressed, such as we would
gladly witness in the couse Of every member
Of Congress on retiring from once. Too
many members Of or national Legislature, a.
he exIiration Of their terms, do not hesitate
70 avail themselves Of the experience and ae-
quaintsRee obtained while in the public ser
vice, for the prosecution Of labors in the lobby;
and not uufrequenty without much regard for
tie character Of the measures for which they
enilst meI influence. Hare we have a gentle
nan who declines a liberal fee for the advocacy
q a measure which be deems highly proper,
and which be thinks ought to be allowed,
simply on the ground that ~x-meubers Of Goa
grsss should not enlist ia the lobby service.
We cannot but respect such sentiments, and
only wish they were more prevalent in all
parts Of the Union.
