MEMPHIS, HER Coon HEALTH AND Hen
DOORS. experience of the past
three months gives rise to the question
whether filth most promotes health or
disease. If there is as dirty a city in the
world as Memphis we should like to
know it,'and no one will claim that there
is one more healthy. The cholera
opened lively, brought its family and
seemed determined to stay awhile. In
mediately there was vigorous rush for
picks, spades and shovels; the thousands
of nauseous smells which neglect had
deadened, were at once brought to the
surface, filling the air with the fragrance
of forty thousand slaughter.houses. 1t
ranked all disease, and in a week
physicians and undertakers complained
of dull times. Whenever the mortuary
reports swell, the long pole of municipal
efficiency is driven into the fragrant
ground up comes the stench, and away
goes disease. No epidemic can stand
the fragrance Of our streets, alleys,
slaughter houses and radical courts. 1t
is strong enough to bear up crowbar,
and Whit of it enables one to endure
Barbour Lewis court without wincing.
A skunk, after inhaliug this sublime
odor, would commit suicide in disgust.
The only animate being that can stand
il all the year round is a Tennessee rad.
ical politician To him it is the balm Of
life, the fragrance of a million violets
and lilies ottar d'rose, night-blooming
cereus, and big Office. The Memphis
odor contains a greater variety q smells
to the square inch, can enter the system
quicker, and penetrate farther than any
other odor in the world. 1t smells
louder, disperses itself more miscel-
laneously, and lasts longer than any
other odor in the world. Somebody
could make a colossal fortune by catch
ing a few thousand Of the first class
Memphis smells and concentrating them
into an original perfume. II strong
enough bottles could be procured he
would soon rival the Rothschilds. Com
petition would be nowhere. The equal
Of bis psyhne could not be found on the
face Of the earth.

FIFTH EDITIO N
Trial Of John II. surratt.

ICOntinqed from our Fourth BdittO7l,1
The exhibition in this case, too, Mr. Bradley
said, was humiliating and disgracetul 70 the
authors Of the abuse. He read from scene re.
ported in the trial of Sir Walter Raleigh, and
compared Lord ColSe's abuse, as prosecutor In
that case, TO the abuse levelled at Surratt 0y
District Attorney CarrngtOn and contended
that there was a decided analogy between the
two cases.
In that case the Attorney. General dared the
Court to grant the prisoner any favor, and IN
this case the prosecution says to Judge k1shert
If you dare to decide otherwise than as ! tell
you, will bring the majesty OF the people 70
impeech you.
Mr.. Bradley protested against any such abuse
being heaped upon the prisoner, and hoped this
case would be a warning to all future prose-
cutors. But the prosecution went further, and
said that in a capital case the jury are not TO
nnd general verdict put are 10 ma M d ve9ICt nCt
believe his ears when he heard that assertion.
The Court is part of the Government. The
Government dictates what the Court shall do,
says the gentleman, and the jury must do as the
Courtesays. He would call the attention OF the
jury to a Jeffreys and a Scroggs, who hurried
men to the scatfold ruthlessy, until jury was
ioupd independent enough to disobey the rulings
OF the Court and all England sang with joy.
hr. Bradley read the history of the latter
scene, as depicted in the second, volume of
''Campbelps Lives of the Chief Justices" but,
said Mr.. Bradley, we will come down to our own
lives. The jury is bound to receive instruction
from the court but they are to apply that in
struction to the evidence. There is higher
law, as the District Attorney has said but he
did not read that chapter Of Romans as the
District Attorney had read it, for no mandate
could ever make juror do wrong. Resistance
to all oppression was a high duty under all cir
cumstances. He cited from Chancellor Kent to
show that the jury must try not only the fact,
but also the crime, and that the law and the fact
must be passed upon by them. The doctrine
promulgated in the case by the prosecution is
that of Justice Jeffreys, who told the Jury theY
must take the law from the court.

FOURTH EDITION
TRIAL OE.L .LOHN IL SnRRArr.

WARRINGTON, August 2.-The trial of John II.
Surratt was resumed this morning in the Crlmi-
nal Court, Judge Fisher presiding.
MIR. Bradley, Sr., addressed the jury on behalf
OF the defense. He hoped he would have been
saved the fatigue of any address upon this
case. IL had been exhausted by the address Of
his colleague, and for this reason be would be
brief in his remarks. The case was simple
one. An Importance had been given to 1t
which he thought was not warranted. The jury
are to try simply the case of a murder OF an
individual, and are TO look only to the charge
iald in the Indictment. The prosecution
nave endeavored TO enlarge the proportions
OF the case with zeal, energy, and, he would
asa, yindictiyeness that he had never seen
equalled.
1t was for the Jury to Judge why all this ex-
uaneOus matter was introduced. The case
however, needed not extended discussion, for
the defense was complete when it was shown
the time OF Surratts leaving Montreal, and the
time of his arrival in Elmira, and when the ex-
plicit account in Booths diary was read. Il
should have stopped the mouth of the prosecu-
tion, and they should not have called mana
ced man the mostinfamous names. This NAV
be Washington jury, but in a course of forty
years. practice, no man has ever before dared to
assall a prisoner as this prisoner has been as
sailed, and any man who would have
been guilty of it, could have been frowned upon
and put beyond the pale of all respectable law
yers. Has mortal man ever heard such torrent
OF abuse as was poured upon the head of this
poor man?
Mr.. Bradley read from the Olives OF the Chief
Justices," to show the opinion held of Lord
Coke for his abuse of prisoners and to show
how he bad humiliated himself by his conduct.

ANCIENT FINE ARTs-To the editor of the
New York HeraId:-Respecting the relics of
porcelain ware found in the late exhumations
at Herculaneum, which have been forwarded
TO the Society Of Antiquities in London, whereof
your correspondent says the bottle resembling
brakes Plantation Bitters was undoubtedly
placed amoung the ruins by the agent of DR..
Drake, we desire to state he is incorrect in every
respect. II bottle was found there bearing our
lettering, the language Of the Ancient Romans
was different from the accepted literature of
that day. Our agent has other business than
this in Europe, and has not been in Italy at all.
No doubt Americans carry Plantation B1tters
70 Rome; but trying to impose upon a society of
Antiquarians in this way seems quite useless,
and we do not appreciate the joke. 1t is unne-
cessary for rs to spend none in Europe while
we are unable to supply the demand for these
celebrated Bitters here,
