responding Secretary, and Dr. D. D.
SAUNDERs Treasurer. We understand
that the address Of the President on the
occasion was q model Of professional dig
nifty and propriety, delivered with the
modest good taste which those who know
him best would expect. A committee Of
one member from each ward was APP
pointed TO report upon the sanitary con-
dition Of our city.
We expect much good to result from
this organization. Apart from the pres

which should, and, we arepleased to say,

CONDITIONS OF RECONSTRUCTION
The correspondence between Gov.

enforced by military power.
Gov. H~CIPHREY's message to the Leg
islature, on this point, is frank, manly,
and expresses the sentiments Of "a philan-
thropist and patriot. We fear he is in
advance Of the body whose cooperation
is necessary inthe great work with which
he is charged. And yet if our friends in
Mississippi VIII calmly and without pas
sion reflect upon the situation in which
they are placed, We cannot well see how
they can come 10 conclusions adverse to
those OF their Governor. NanifesLy, if
the negro is TO be a free man, aud

had, by law as well as in common
humanity, 8 guardian and protector
whose interest and duty 10 was 10 protect
him, s0Eas means must be provided 10y
which he can have protection in his per
sonal rights. Clearly 70 DO this is simple
justice and humanity towards an unfor-
runats being, who mas been placed in his
present anomalous condition by agencies
over which he had no control, and not
eve a remote recognition Of his social
equality; and we do but give aid and

England and elsewhere, by halting in

end.
We are firmly persuaded that the good

it in their power to lord it most oppres-
sively over all other citizens. That they
do not do so to a most odious extent, is
attributable to the personal ~cleverness Of
those who happen to manage this mo-
nopoly, rather than to any safeguard
against their doing 50.
such powers q this ought not
to be granted to any set Of men
whatever "Power Is always steal
ing from the many to the few"
Hence it is, that we have felt it to be
our duty to warn cur citizens against
another monopoly, proposed to be insti-
tuted in the matter OF laying out street
railroads. The proposition now before
the Board Of Aldermen TO grant the
privilege Of street railways for thirty
YEAR,, would be, no doubt, a very good
thing for the capitalists who wish to OBJ
tain this monopoly. But would it be
good for the people Of Memphis, is an
other and a very different question.
That we should have street. railways,
we very cordially agree. But that it viii
be sound policy, in order TO obtain them,
to barter away all control Of so impor-
tant an interest, we by no means agree.
We need streets as well as street railroads
and as the privilege oflaying down the
latter seems 90 be very eagerly sought
for, our Aldermen should see to it that
so powerful a lever is not thrown away.
If it must go into the hands Of large cap
italists exclusively, Jet it be thrown open
TO a fun and free competition. But
why sell ourselves out to out
side capitalists, at all? Why
not get up a home association, made up
of-say the city one-third, with two
thirds in shares Of fifty dollars open TO
citizens? We have very little doubt the
amount necessary could be raised in this
way, and the work commenced and pros
ecuted quite as safely aud as successfully
as it win be If given ont as a monopoly.
The earnings would remain here with US,
and the City Government have a salu-
tary control over the privilege. All ex-
perence goes TO prove that nothing is
more detrimental TO young and growing
communitc=, than % fetter them with
monopolies, Of any kind whatever.
