Discussion at Memphis.

The Memphis Appeal furnishes
its readers with full report Of the
discussion between the candidates for
Governor at Memphis. We copy
its candid and impartial estimate oil
the result Of the discussion beloa:
A very large company assembled
Yesterday at the Gaieiy Theatre, to
listen so the discussion between the
candidates for Governor--among
whom was n goodly numler Of ladies.
The debate was conducted with many
evidences Of personal good feeling
between the two candidates, but Il
strong disposition on the part Of both
to contest every point stutbornly aud
firmly. Netherlaud is evidently
making his best fight, emitting no
art or device TO win good opinion
and make votes; but it is mo go.
He is laboring under too many heavy
weights, and carries upon his back
toe many heavy records of q polilical
career which is 'riDged, stveakei
aud ffeckled." to please the people
Notwithstanding kis persuasive pow
ers, and sallies Of wit aud repartee.
Gov. Harris is in prime condition
We never beard him speak better oil
TO more purpose than he did yester
day. On every point in issue W.
regarded his Argument Us complete
and transferable. Mr.. Netherlan,
was evidently stunned beneath th'
hercnlean blows that he dealt upol
him, and luboFed like Il man at th,
oars against an irresistible current
to recover himself,
We eau only characterize the de
bate as one with which the Democra
cy ore perfectly satisfied. If The
Opposition Can make no greater head
way elsewhere than they haye mad,
III Memphis, where they prsciousl,
boosted they would cary eff score
Of comforts, then their chance is
most hopeless one. aud they ma,
look Tor an overwhelming defeat. =
-
Our gallant candidate more than sus
tuGied himself, and met the eXpec
tbiioDs Of lis friends. We say thi
in all Candor to our friends in othe
portions Of the State.

in all their primary meetings and gen.
eral conventions, have taken bold
ground in favor at speedy acquisi-
ton. Nowhere have they looked up
on the question from sectional point
Of view.
We conclude, then, by saying to
our old wing and American comrades:
= Whether you like the Democratic
party or not, you are bound to vote
for its candidates, if you really de,
sire TO protect The Constitutional
rights OF the South, or if you really
desire to see Cuba added TO the A
merican Union. On both these sub
jects, If upon no others. the Democ-
raey ale a perfect, indis isible, and, We
hope, invincible unit.

How 10 make one Hundred perCenl.

A correspondent Of the Lady's

Of one horse money broker 10 Buff
Galo, who had knack Of making one
hundred per cent. on bills brought to
him TO exchange. The way he did
it was this:
He kept an exchange Office near
the Central Basin, and had a lot OF
counterfeils stuck up on the wall be-
hind the counter. with "counterieit
bills" in great black letters over
them. while on The counter stood Il
b, OF waters. A canaler would
rush into the Office and ask for change
for bill. Old Specie would take the
bill very blandly, put on his specta-
Giles, give look at it. The moment
he Gid so his whole countanance
would change. With an indignant
look he would pelrily his astonisbed
customer; and in grim silence, still
keeping bis eye on the canaler, he
would feel for the wafer box. stick q
couple of waters on the back OF the
bill, turn round aud fpsten il amoug
the counterleits with an Indignant
Jam; then, turning, he would open his
mouth, and assail the wretehed cul-
prit in the manner following. to-wit:
you mistrab scoundrtl, what do
you mean by Offering me bad
blu? II there's IN officer in sight | Il
have you arrested !" With which
address he would make as if he would
sally from behiad the counter; where,
upon the eanaler would ileontinentiy
ilSc for his life, and the oil gentle
man would sweep the bill into BIZ
money drawer, and crest from hi,
