THE CHURCHES.

The churches Of Memphis are most OF
them quite nice affairs. The cushions of
some are very soft, the carpets fine, the
pillars, gas and frescoes brilliant, the
organs grand, and the whole, outside and
in, quite voluptuous. The fact is, the
whole thing is rather an exquisite and
costly affair, especially when you take
into view the fine broadclotbs aud silks,
bonnets, jewelry and stockings, with
which the pews are ornamented costing
say one thousand dollars pew. Indeed
our churches are quite fashionable, and
fully up 10 ton. We have heard Of a
church in which guests were seated ac-
eording to dress those most elegantly
dressed near the pulpit, those in medium
style farther back, and those Moderately
attired put back as near the door as cir
cumstances will admit But we do not
say that the rule has been fully estab-
lished in this city as yet
The Louisville Journal has an article
which describe the etiquette Of entrance
and ext; thereabouts very truthfully and
accurately, we will not for one moment
doubL The directions to be carefully
observed in this particular part Of the
service. as the Journal describes them,
are these: Let the lady advance one
pace beyond the door Of the pew which
she wishes to enter, half about face and
salute. The pew must then be vacated
by such gentlemen as are in il BY a flank
movement The squad should rise sim
ultaneously when the lady presents her
self and face by the right flank, then
deploy into the aisle, the bead man facing
the lady, and the rest walking to his righ
aud rear. the direction Of his halt being
changed BY q right countermarch, and
forming again into line up and down The
aisle, still faced by the right flank. The
lady, when the coast is clear, completes
her salute and advancest 20 her position
in the pew. The gentlemen break Of b
files from he rear, and resume then

saS- Some of the papers are urging
and some conforming the refusal Of
many Southern men to register. 1t
would certainly seem to be better that
every white man should register who can
do so by simply taking an cath to sup
port the Constitution. He can then vote
when he pleases, and when it will avail
anything; or, if he has to crowd in
among the gorillas in hopeless minori'
ty of two or three TO one, he can let it
alone. Certainly all should register
who can do so without dishonor, that
they may be armed with the ballot and
use it when it promises any good. But
we do not wonder, in the state of things
we have here, many should stand back
in despair. A sensitive and true gentle.
man dislikes to enter the arena with low
and brute force. And in Tennessee an
oath is required, which, on account of
its apparent obligatory force, few white
men can take. In Mississippi, the oath
requires a support of the old and So
called Constitution, and the voter who
takes it swears to put down Radicalism,
and disarm those who have imposed it,
to the full and utmost extent of his power.

EST We see that ex-senator A. g.
Brown is making very sensible talks to
the negroes in Mississippi after the
fashion of our Greenlaw Block declama-
tons; and, it is probable with the same
success. Mr.. Brown knows how to make
q good speech, and Sambo knows how to
hear. He smiles, and shows his ebony,
and listens in conscious dignity that he
is now appealed to on great questions Of
State, and says, Yes, massa, and OATS
right" aud Pm gwine to vote de
sarvative ticket" and bows and scrapes
his foot-aud next he will 60 and vote
the Radical ticket; and then say, when
the election is over, either that he voted
for the Conservative side, or that he did
not vote at all. We advise Governor
Brown to summon all the donkeys and
Try them. One has gone counter to his
professions in Tennessee, the other may
prove true to his in Mississippi. Unless
the Governor is a better educator than
we have been able to bring out in this
State, be will find that the fruit of his
lessons is about equal to that Of strewing
pearls before swine.

difference between thu two which, In my
judgment, will forbid their ever living
together upon the footing Of perfect
equality. lam not, nor ever have
been, in favor of making voters or ju-
rors Of negroes, nor Of qualifying them
to hold office, or intermarry with white
people; and | will say in addition to
this, that there is physical difference
between the white and black races which,
/ believe, will forever forbid the two
races living together on terms Of social
aud political equality.

WASHINGTON.
Important Order from Gen. Grant
-Retrenohment in the Expenses
of the War Department.

WASHINGTON, August 22.-Gen. Grant
has issued an order mastering out oil
service all additional paymasters, to take
effect the LIST of October.
A large number of buildings in the
neighborhood of the departments, now
rented by the Government, are to be
given up as soon as the papers and rec
ords can be transferred to the depart
ment. About fifty clerks are to be dis
missed on account of the scarcity Of
work.

places. Great care should be taken, OF
course, by other parties not TO enter the
aisle when this evolution is in progress
until II is complete" We have quoted
the Journal to show that we are not so
very much behind others in the more
formal parts and matters. After the SER
vice begins, it is expected that every one
will look straight at the preacher, as
much as to say | am very devout and
appreciative Of your talents; and being a
very critical as well as genteel judge,
think very well Of your sermon" But
while this is done, it is expected the mer'
Ahant will think of his ledger, the banker
of his cash account, and the young scions
of the bonnets aud beaux. If it was
otherwise, it would imply a very un'
fashionable audience, which it would do
great injustice to suppose was possible OF
our city. The sermon is expected to be
short so as not to over fatigue such as
were up late at last nights ball
or such as are to stand during any part
of the service, or even to sit more than
thirty minutes without closing their eyes.
There are usually so many fine things to
be seen at our churches, that it would be
a misfortune TO lose the faculty Of seeing,
and hence the prohibition. And it is a
fine place for the deaf, if well dressed,
because it is questionable to hear any
thing that anybody remembers, and,
therefore, persons get along there just as
we'll without ears as with them. Babies,
tobacco and smoking are positively pro-
hibited.
There is much more that might be
said in praise of our churches which we
cannot communicate at this time with
out making our article too long for once.
And we will close with one other single
fact, which of itself will show how very
well conducted and magnificent our
churches are in this city, viz the poor,
and the ragged, and the ciciOus necer
get in here-h is no place for them
