TAMMANY.-The charter election, In which the
people will be called upon to make choice Of
the chief financial officer of the city govern
ment, will take place In less than two weeks
from to-day, and no party has yet put in the
field a candidate who Is flt to occupy the posi-
ton or who can command sufficient strength to
render his success probable. The Tammany
primaries have been held, and the list Of dele
gates shows that it Is the intention. of the
sring" to spring the nomination of Brennan
upon the city ct the eleventh hour, IN the hope
that there will not be sufficient time left to
unite the respectable and independent portion
Of tho electors In opposition II 10 now well
known that the pretended withdrawal OF Bren-
nan was . trick designed to silence his oppo-
nsnts, and that . desperate effort will be made
by the "ring" to retain their hold upon the
important Office Of Comptroller. The action Of
the various outside organisations in nominal
ing candidates who stand no chance Of an cleo
ton encourages Hoffman, Sweeney, Tweed &
Co. to persist in their policy Of holding on to
Brennan, and gives them some hope Of success.
In furtherance Of this scheme the "ring"
still retain possession Of the Street Commits
sioner's Department with their most compe-
tent manager, Tweed, at It's head. The Board
Of Aldermen reject Mr.. Isaac Bell on the i'm
pudent pretence that they object to him as
being politician" and the Mayor will no
doubt make another nomination designed to
leave the control Of the department In the
hands Of Deputy Tweed until after election.
1t is now time for the citizens to move In the
matter. They may rest satisfied that il is the
design Of Tammany to renominate Brennan.
Nothing but the demonstrated certainty Of his
defeSt will deter them from putting him into
the field, and should they despair Of the sue
cess Of their trick, they will select some other
candidate equally Objectionable Let the in
dependent citizens and taxpayers unite on .
good man, and his success il certain. II Is
very desirable that the Office OF Comptroller
should now be filed acccptably to the tax
payers and BY an incumbent who Is free from
any complication with tho men who have 40
long misgoverned the city. The next Comp
troller should be one who will be willing to
cooperate with the Legislature in any effort TO
secure to New York an honest and economical
government and who will not offer any fac
tious opposition to the measures Of reform
which will be demanded Of our Representatives
ut Albany.

No statesman or patriot, nor any one who has

Taking il for granted, then, that the mass Of
our citizens-that the people Of the North
earnestly desire speedy restoration Of tho
South TO its former relations In the Union, the
question arises, how is this to be accomplished I
We hoped, heretofore, that the constitutional
amendment might be adopted and thus settle
the matter. The people Of the North declared
10 The recent elections that to be the plan OF
settlement. II would have been safe, ready
and easy mode OF restoration. But Il does not
appear that this can be carried through
Three-fourths Of the States must adopt tho
amendment before Il can become q part
OF the constitution. All the Southern States
refuse to adopt II, and therefore the over
whclming popular majority in the Northern
States in its favor is rendered powerlsss. II
il even doubtful IL a SUFFICIENT number Of new
States could be erected 10 carry the amend

attempt 10 override the South Ia this way
would cause great delay, which, as We have
said, would be highly injurious and danger

CIVIL CODE OF LOUISIANA AND CODE OF PRAC-
T1cE.-Those enterprising law publishers, Messrs.
Bloomfield Steel, announce to the public, through
the columns of the CRESCENT this morning, that
they will shortly publish the Civil Code of the
State Of Louisiana, with all the statutory amend
ments from 1925 to 1866 inclusive which will also
contain references to the decisions of the Supreme
Court to the sixteenth volume of Annual Reports,
with a complete index. The work is to be compiled
and edited by James 0. Fuqus, Esq, attorney at
law. The same house will also publish the Code
Of Practice in Civil Cases for the State of Louis
lana, with statutory amendments during the same
period, as mentioned above, and also containing
references to the decisions of the Supreme Court
of the State, edited aud compiled by the same
gentleman. These works will be most valuable
additions to the libraries of gentlemen of the legal
profession in this and other States, as we'll as
most useful and acceptable to the student and mer-
chant. Massrs. Boomtield& Steel are sure to get
them up in a style which will be worthy of the
works, as books published by them always are.
We hope that all persons who wish to see our
home books Published by home people, will come
forward and sustain the house, which is enterpris
ing and liberal enough to make the trial.

THE New SOUTHERN TELBGRAPH CoaPANy'I
FROM CINCINNATI TO NEW ORLEANS, VIA MEMPHIs.
Several weeks ago, we made editorial mention of
the formation, at Louisville, under charter from
the State Uf Kentucky, Of the Southern Telegraph
Company, with d capital stock of $500 Geo. With
the right to construct lines Of magnetic telegraph
in the State of Kentucky, and to other legitimate
points. The first purpose of this company as we
stated, is the construction of line froFa Cincin-
matt, through Louisville, Nashville, Memphis and
Vicksburg, to New Orleans and Mobile after
wards, such lines as may be found expedient. The
advantages of this proposed enterprise, to the peo-
peto this city are 10 apparent to need illustration
or argument and we do not propose anything
Of that character but we deem it in place,
as a matter Of public concern, and in the
interest of our patrons, to attract attention to the
fact that two well known citizens Of Memphis,
namely-W. B. Waldron, Esq, and Major NJ ].
Wieks-have interested themselves in the eonsunl-
nation of this most desirable undertaking, and
their social standing and business reputation can
not fail to recommend to the practical c0nsidera-
| ton and support of our business men, to the ex-
| tent that it is proper Memphis should contribute
| towards it. These gentlemen propose to canvass
the city during the coming week for subscribers to
the stock in this company TO the amount Of $780,
| 900, by means Of which q Memphis director will
| BE- secured. Heretofore, as mere business adYer-
tsement money subscribed for the building of
| telegraph lines has paid handsomely, for the
most part and We cannot doubt there is still room
for new lines without such reduction or sHbdi-
vision of the profits OF the business as shall make
uprohtable-l Memphis appeal, June II.

stated.-['lribune.

of police which shows clearly that the man Bal

at Point Clear, was entered, and trunk stolen
containing about $500 worth of jewelry, S75 in
currency, and quantity of clothing belonging to
Mrs. Robert T. StannaTd, who was sleeping in the
room. The robbery was discovered between two

TIE FRIcE OF a CAEINa.-The following are
the remarks of Mr.. Grinnen which induced the
Gaming:
ITr. Grinnell got leave to make a personal ex-
PLANTATION in reference to some reflection upon him
made by Mr.. Rousseau. He said that if he were
the Presidsnt and such speech were made in his
Gofenue, he would say, God save me from such an
unmany incoherent, brainiess defender-equal in
virtue in civil life as in military. In what volume
was the gentlemans military history to be found
The reputation he got in Kentucky was earned by
sending back negroes across the Ohio and kissis-
slppi rivers, who had swan the river for their lib
erty. Where had the gent eman been in the great
battles of the war! hundred and fifty miles
away from them. Let him ask General Grant or
any general officer his opinion of him. The gen
tleman had talked about his commanding Iowa
troops, but leading officer from that State had
told him it was common expression among
| the troops, when there was any excite
ment, it was either rabbit or General
Rousseau. He had not led Iowa troops to the
" imminent deadly breach. It was all
pretence-all the merest nockery. 1t was the
| gentleman blowing his own horn. The gentleman
traduced him tMr. GriDnelD in a speech which he
made in New York, at Fenian meeting, speaking
of him as pitiful political demagogue, whose
name he believed was Grinnel and he had in
the same speech spoken Of q distinguished mem
ber of the House, alluding to Mr.. Stevens, /" as a
miscreant for whom he could not express his con
temptn And there" said Mr.. Grinnell, in q
most contemptuous manner, there he stands
six feet high, and even calling himself buttoned
mp general officer and gentleman"
Mr.. Rousseau, after shifting his position several
times had got into the vicinity Of MIR. Grinnel
and it might reasonably be expected that, smart
ing under the taunts and sneers SO ayishy directed
at him, he would take summary mode of dealing
with the member from Iowa; but at this time Mr.
Banks rose and made the point of order that the
gentleman from Iowa had not, in obtaining leave
to make o personal explanation, obtained any
right to violate the rules of debate, which poin
of order the Speaker sustained Notifying Mr.
Griune that he must proceed in order.
Mr.. Rousseau indmated that if the Speale
would not protect him. he would protect himself
Explanations and denominations followed, and th
House soon after adjourned.

From Cincinnati papers Of the 18th, received
last night through favor of the Southern Express
Company, we extract the following items Of late
news:
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DEFENDS THE NEUTRALITY
LAWS.
WASHINGTON, June I5.-The attorney general
to-day appeared before the House Committee On
Foreign Affairs and argued against the proposed
repeal Of the neutrality laws, as recommended n
the Fenian resolutions referred to them last Non
Day. Mr.. Speed did not think the law ought to be
neTfered with as it was essential for occasions ike
the present. There is no prospect that the com
mttee will report in favor Of the repeal of the
law, though the pressure for such repeal from
prominent and influential Fenians is very great.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1866-11-30
Rctrcuchrnent.

Congress at its last session appointed a
committee to ascertain and report to Con-
gress how expenses can be properly reduced
in the government service. OF this impor-
tant committee, Senator Edmunds of Yer
mont is leading member, and he has been
actively engaged of late in Investigations in
regard to salaries, perquisitcs, fees, frauds,
assessments tor political purposes, &c,
among the officials in the New York custom
house, and elsewhere. II is said that these
examinations bear prominently on the prob
able effect of Il change, especially in the rev.
enue department, which shall make the term
of Office depend solely on trustworthiness
and good conduct; and the further state
ment is not very surprising one that the
committee have already reached the conclu-
sion "that efficient men cannot be secured
and retained, while political influence deter
mines appointments and removals."
A Washington dispatch of the 10Th inst,
says "the committee will meet here to-mor-
row and continue in session until the meet
| ing of Congress. The report will be quite
| lengthy, and is pretty severe on some of the
heads of the different departments Of the
government"
Without doubt the committee are secur-
inc some interesting information, and will
be able to recommend some important
changes in the public service If they can
secure change which will remove TO any
appreciable extent the evils arising from the
/ American system of sweeping removals and
appointments solely on political grounds,
they will render the country piece OF most
valuable seryice.-Free Press.
